【小題5】考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析，介詞短語(yǔ)in addition to表示“而且、除…之外還有”，in opposition to表示“與...的意見(jiàn)相反”，in contrast to表示“與...形成對(duì)比”，都與本題不符。in response to（作為對(duì)┄的反應(yīng)）在本句表示“你修改作品是對(duì)你想改進(jìn)作品目的的一種回應(yīng)”選B。
【小題6】考查形容詞辨析，fresh ideas 與后面的newly discovered information對(duì)應(yīng)。選D本題難度適中。
【小題7】考查副詞辨析，副詞Moreover（而且）類(lèi)似與but also表遞進(jìn)含義，與前面句not just（only）呼應(yīng)。副詞However（然而，表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系）、Instead（作為替代、反而，表相反含義）、Therefore（因此，表原因）都不符題意。B本題難度適中。
【小題8】考查動(dòng)詞辨析，switch topics（變換標(biāo)題）屬于修改作品的一部分。動(dòng)詞discuss（討論）、exhaust（汲干、使筋疲力盡）、cover（覆蓋、包含）都不符題意。B本題難度適中。
【小題9】考查名詞辨析，，名詞audience（觀眾）與下句view your dress rehearsal對(duì)應(yīng)。名詞director（導(dǎo)演）、master（主人、大師）、visitor（來(lái)訪者）都與題意不符。選C。

【小題11】考查動(dòng)詞辨析，，動(dòng)詞mix在本句表示“修改就是把作品所有方面的有效性和適當(dāng)性融合在一起”。選A
【小題12】考查副詞：A. specifically專(zhuān)門(mén)地B. freshly新鮮地C. swiftly快速地D. loosely松散地，更加具體的制定目標(biāo)，選A。
【小題13】考查形容詞辨析，形容詞clear在本句表示“我的文章大意或?qū)懽饕鈭D是否清晰”，與下文confuse readers對(duì)應(yīng)。形容詞amazing（令人驚訝的）、bright（明亮的、聰明的）、unique（獨(dú)特的）都與題意不符。選D。

Every year mobile phones develop. Imagining what they will look like and be able to do in 2020 is really a challenge. To help, experts have outlined three major mobile trends that they believe will have become reality by then.
Our phones will be so smart in 10 years’ time that they’ll know everything about our situation and warn us when something needs our attention. This is the top prediction of both Nokia and Google. They predict that our cars and home appliances will be able to communicate with our mobile. For example, fridges will tell your mobile to tell you to pick up milk on the way back from work. While driving, your mobile will suggest that you take a different route because there’s a road accident up ahead.
The second trend is in gesture-based controls. People who know the iPhone’s touch-sensitive screen are already familiar with the technology. It translates hand movements into actions on-screen. But gestural communications will make the phone more convenient to use and may completely replace touchpads. According to industry insiders, the most immediate step forward in gestural technology will be in voice recognition. It’s believed voice recognition technology will speed up communications. It is quicker to speak than type. Eventually, phone screens will disappear.
The third major development will change our understanding of a mobile phone. From a single phone, the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices. It is opposite to the current trend in which mobile phones are combining the functions of cameras, music players and game consoles. The prediction is based on the idea that the world will become more wireless and all these—cameras, music players and game consoles—will be wirelessly connected. Mobile phones won’t need to contain these devices because users will be able to control them wirelessly through their phones.
The first paragraph serves as .
A. a lead-in B. a conclusion C. a summary D. a supporting fact
Which of the following is most likely to be the appearance of a mobile phone in 2020?
 |
A. drive cars for us
B. be controlled by the users’ voices
C. be controlled by home appliances
D. be very big together with separated multiple parts
The text mainly tells us .
A. three major trends of mobile phones
B. what mobile phones will look like in 2020
C. the future mobile phones are gesture-based
D. some new functions of the present mobile phones

What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer． Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals．
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK． It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm．
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event． Tickets for the event sold out within three hours． Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone．
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities．
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty （貧窮）． In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously （同時(shí)） in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin． Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight （強(qiáng)調(diào)） international poverty and debt．
What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?
A． The festival has achieved growing success．
B． Great efforts have been made to hold the festival．

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A. they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B. they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C. they are traveling fast all the time
D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
A. strong will to hold out stress
B. knowing the art of relaxation
C. high sense of responsibility
D. having control over performance
Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B. Stress is always harmful to people's health
C. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.
In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to _____.
A. "expose ourselves to stress"
B. "find ways to deal with stress"
C. "remove stress from our lives"
D. "establish links between diseases and stress"
According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.
A. to avoid it
B. to try to cope with it
C. to regard it as a vital motivation
D. to find some relaxation
