8．Dear Victor：
I am a college student．Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students．Some of my roommates are very interested in them．They not only play games in their free time，but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off，and they regard games as part of life．I've begged（乞求） them to give it up，but they wouldn't listen to me．It has become a rather big problem．Should I report it to our teachers or do something else？
Ted，
Dear Ted：
Drop it．Your roommates，as grown-ups，can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn't break school rules or violate（防礙） other people's interests．
Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation（放松） from hard study．If they play too often，have little time to study，and they will reap what they have sown，but you will not．Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory（宿舍）．However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep．If they aren't angry with you，they will stop talking．But be polite and friendly．Perhaps，in return，join them in a game or two．
Victor．
28．According to the first letter，many college students enjoyA．
A．playing computer games       
B．searching information on the Internet
C．sending e-mails              
D．buying things online

B．harm his good name in the dormitory
C．quarrel with his roommates            
D．learn how to get on well with others
31．In the second letter，the underlined part（劃線部分） meansA．
A．自食其果     B．隨心所欲地做事    C．回家種莊稼   D．逃避責(zé)任．

分析 這兩封信主要講了Ted向Victor尋求如何處理其舍友總是玩游戲的情況，是否要向老師告發(fā)，Victor在信中教Ted如何與舍友相處好的方法．

解答 28．A，細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students可知，很多大學(xué)生很喜歡玩電腦游戲，故答案為A．
29．C，細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子I've begged（乞求） them to give it up可知，Ted想要他的舍友停止玩游戲，故答案為C．
30．D，推理判斷題，根據(jù)句子However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep．If they aren't angry with you，they will stop talking．But be polite and friendly．可知，Victor教Ted如何處理這種情況，可知他在教Ted如何與別人相處好，故答案為D．
31．A，詞義猜測題，根據(jù)句中they will reap what they have sown，此處講如果他的舍友學(xué)習(xí)太少，花大部分時間在玩游戲上，以后他們就知道后果了，可知該句的意思為"自食其果"，故答案為A．

點評 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題，首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料．其次，細讀題材，各個擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強的針對性．對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準．

7．Reward methods are an everyday occurrence in our classrooms．More than ever，a great number of incentive（激勵） programs have been created to help teachers manage behavior，and motivate learners．However，there is evidence that in the long run，reward systems don't work．
Many people believe that rewards can help students develop a reason to do better．However，this approach fails to address why children are unable to be successful in the first place．When a student who dislikes math frequently behaves badly in class，a simple and easy way to deal with the behavior might be to offer him a reward for not misbehaving．Yet this would do nothing to solve his real problem-which is his attitude towards math．
On the other hand，rewards can't last forever．So what happens when they stop？Many experiments suggest once the rewards stop，people go back to behaving as they did before．
Some people might counter that．It may be true that students won't spontaneously（自發(fā)地） work once we stop rewarding them，but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have!Unfortunately，there is another more surprising consequence of rewards that we need to consider：Rather than create motivation，they can actually decrease motivation．
In a classic study，some kinder garteners who enjoyed drawing with markers were observed in a classroom with different activities available．They were broken into two groups．Everyone in the first group was told that he or she could win an attractive certificate by drawing a picture with markers．Each was eager to get the certificate and drew a picture．Children in the second group were also encouraged to draw but didn't get a certificate．After a delay of about two weeks，when the markers again appeared in the classroom but no certificate was promised，the children in the first group used the markers about half as much as children in the second group．Apparently，rewards actually made them enjoy drawing less．
What we really want is for students to take responsibility for their own learning．When much of the focus is on performance outcome，it can stop the development of self-motivation．The‘self-determination theory'claims all human beings will succeed when our basic，inborn，and emotional needs are met．By providing appropriate support and opportunities，we can help to meet the needs of all students and therefore increase their motivation．

63．The author mainly argues thatD．
   A．students should be responsible for their learning
B．incentive programs help to solve real problems
C．motivation plays an important role in learning
D．reward methods for students are ineffective
64．The underlined word"counter"in Paragraph 4 probably meansB．
A．suspect B．oppose C．detail D．confirm
65．In Paragraph 5，the author uses the example to show thatD．
A．rewards keep interest
B．children enjoy awards
C．children are changeable
D．rewards reduce motivation
66．The author persuades readers to accept his argument mainly byC．
A．questioning the results of classic studies
B．comparing strengths with weaknesses
C．pointing out the problems with reward systems
D．giving examples of badly-behaved students．

16．When we give our kids holiday gifts，many of us can't wait to hea r their appreciative cries of"thank you!"once the wrapping gets ripped off．But here's a tip：You'd be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive．
Gratitude can make us happier，healthier，and even fitter．But do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them？All the research I've done has convinced me that it won't happen．One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone，he said，"But that's what moms should do．"From a teenager's angle，it's a parent's responsibility to take care of the family．According to Dunham，Yale's assistant professor of psychology，"When teenagers code it that way，a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily"-it's just mom and dad living up to their obligation．
Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something．But kids can't know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison．And they don't learn that by a parent complaining that they're ungrateful．We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view．Show by example that gratitude isn't about stuff-which ultimately can't make any of us happy anyway．It's about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward．
You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them．You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how it's distributed．Once the conversation about gratitude gets started，it's much easier to continue all year．Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful．When kids go off to college，you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation．
Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them．And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren't on sale at a department store．
22．How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents？D
A．They show no interest in their parents'gifts．
B．They can't wait to open their parents'gifts．
C．They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts．
D．They take their parents'gifts for granted（認為…理所當(dāng)然）．
23．To make children grateful for what they have，parents shouldC．
A．live up to their obligation
B．a(chǎn)sk their children to have good manners
C．teach their children by setting an example    
D．complain their children are ungrateful
24．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs？A
A．No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful．
B．Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents．
C．Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own money
D．It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude．
25．What's the purpose of the author writing this text？B
A．To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents．
B．To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude．
C．To encourage parents to do things together with their children．
D．To remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children．

20．Dennis Sinar，51，a doctor from New York，is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job．"I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years．I needed a recharge．"So he took a"gap year"，from July 2011 to June 2012，to explore things like ancient buildings，and traditional Eastern medicine，in locations including Alaska，Nepal and Romania．
"Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one，"said Holly Bull，president of Princeton，N，J．"In recent years，mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest，"she said．A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also desbribed the potential American market for gap years as a"sleeping giant．"

Geoge Garrian，chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Mangement at New York University，certainly agrees with Dr．Sinar．He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies．For employees，investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career．He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career．For companies，offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees．

17．People select news in expectation of a reward．This reward may be either of two kinds．One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle，the other to what he calls the Reality Principle．For want of better names，we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward．
In general，the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption，accidents and disasters，sports，social events，and human interest．Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs，economic matters，social problems，science，education，and health．
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once．A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved．He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder，shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane，identify himself with the winning team，laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs．
News of the second kind，however，pays its rewards later．It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance-as，for example，when he reads of the threatening foreign situation，the mounting national debt，rising taxes，falling market，scarce housing，and cancer．It has a kind of"threat value．"It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared．When a reader selects delayed reward news，he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work．When he selects news of the other kind，he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world．
For any individual，of course，the boundaries of these two classes are not stable．For example，a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem，rather than for its immediate reward．A coach may read a sports story for its threat value：he may have to play that team next week．A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting，not for its delayed reward，but very much as his wife reads an account of a party．In any given story of corruption or disaster，a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience，but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness．Therefore，while the division of categories holds in general，an individual's tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another，or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward．
What news stories do you read？
Division of news stories●People expect to get （66）rewards/rewarded from reading news．
●News stories are roughly divided into two classes．
●Some news will excite their readers instantly while others won't．
（67）Explanations of the two classes●News of immediate reward will seeming take their readers to the very frightening scene without actual（68）involvement．
●Readers will associate themselves closely with what happens in the news stories and （69）share similar feelings with those involved．
●News of delayed reward will make readers suffer，or present a （70）threat to them．
●News of delayed reward will induce the reader to （71）prepare for the reality while news of immediate reward will lead the reader to （72）withdraw from the reality．
Unstable boundaries of the two classes●What readers expect from news stories are largely shaped by their（73）profession（s）/intention．
●Serious readers will both get excited over what happens in some news stories and （74）adapt themselves to the reality．
●Thus，the division，on the whole，（75）dependson the reader．

18．Taking Questions
    When giving presentations，it is common practice to encourage audience involvement and this often takes the form of questions from the audience．A good deal has been written recently discussing the advantages and disadvanges of various approaches to handling these．（71）E
    One approach is to take questions as and when they arise．Usually there are only a few points from the audience but in the event of receiving too many，the presenter may move the presentation on by reminding the audience of the time，and offering to continue the discussion later．（72）BThose who aren't will simply have to wait．
    （73）C A danger here is that too much time may be wasted on questions and，as a consequence，important parts of other main points have to be edited out．The audience may also confuse the presenter by asking about points that he or she intends to cover later in the presentation．If this happens，it is important to make the audience aware that answering their questions now might weaken the structure of the talk．
    Alternatively，mid-point questions can be discouraged by signalling that you would prefer questions at the end．If you take this approach，however，it is important to bear in mind that when you get to the end，it may take a little time for people to reflect on what they have heard and to formulate a question．（74）F To overcome this，it is useful to have a chairperson who is prepared to ask the first question．
    （75）A In that case，the safest response is to tell the truth．Then the rest of the audience may appreciate your honesty．It may also be possible to move the attention away from the questioner by asking other audience if anyone else can provide an answer．

A．Another potential problem is unfriendly questioners who ask the kind of questions they know will be difficult to answer．
B．A statement such as"I will come back to this point at the end"should keep most people happy．
C．Another approach is to ask for questions after each main point has been addressed．
D．It is a good idea to be aware of the traps that this type of questioners try to set．
E．However，my intention here is simply to present the most common approaches．
F．There is even the possibility that an embarrassing silence may ensure．
G．Seeking a question can be an effective way of moving the session on．
