16．Teenagers will be told to"stand up for their elders"on public transport-or risk losing their right to free travel．
London Mayor Boris Johnson will declare plans today to make youngsters sign a"courtesy pledge"（文明宣言） to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital．The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly，pregnant and disabled； keep from using offensive or threatening language； and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff．
    Those who refuse，or are caught behaving in a loutish manner，will have their free travel passes removed．The plan-a key part of Mr Johnson's re-election bid-will initially affect the 400，000 ll-to-15-year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards，but Tory sources believe the idea could be used across the country．
     A Conservative insider said："The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society．It is about changing culture and expectations around behaviour to improve the atmosphere on buses and trains for everyone．"
    Speaking before today's launch，Mr Johnson said he was determined to deal with the anti-social behaviour of a"minority of youngsters"on public transport．"When I was a boy，I was taught to stand up for those less able to，"he said．"Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel，which is paid for by Londoners，but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility．Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away，and will have to earn that right bach．"
    Teenagers found guilty of a serious violation of the new behaviour rules will lose their travel passes，and will have to carry out unpaid community work to earn them back．
    Mr Johnson is also introducing a"two strikes and you're out"policy to deal with repeat offenders，under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their travel rights permanently．
61．Which of the following is NOT the content of the"courtesy pledge"？B
A．Teenagers should give up their seats to the old．
B．Teenagers shouldn't talk with strangers in public．
C．Teenagers mustn't use aggressive language in public．
D．Teenagers must be polite to people on public transport．A
A．rude        B．stupid       C．polite     D．calm
63．According to Mr Johnson，A．
A．youngsters should know duty comes with benefit
B．youngsters shouldn't use the privilege of free travel
C．a(chǎn)nyone shouldn't make money with the privilege
D．youngsters should do some unpaid community work
64．The worst punishment teenagers can face isD．
A．to sign an agreement       B．to work in the community
C．to be fined               D．to lose their travel passes forever
65．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？C
A．London Mayor Boris Johnson is a great person                 
B．The plan corresponds perfectly with the Big Society
C．Be polite and stand up for your elders or lose free travel
D．The"courtesy pledge"has been used across the country．

分析 本文是一篇說明文．文章主要講述的是倫敦宣布年輕人簽署文明宣言，在公共場合行為要有禮貌，他們會(huì)享有免費(fèi)旅行的權(quán)利，但如果不按文明宣言要求做的人將會(huì)被取消免費(fèi)的旅游權(quán)利．年輕人都應(yīng)該知道責(zé)任和好處并存．最嚴(yán)重的懲罰是他們可能會(huì)永久失去他們的旅行權(quán)利．

解答 BAADC
61．B    細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段中的"make youngsters sign a"courtesy pledge"（文明宣言） to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital．The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly，pregnant and disabled； keep from using offensive or threatening language； and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff"可知，B項(xiàng)并未提及，故選B．
62．A    推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段中的"Those who refuse will have their free travel passes removed"可知，不按文明宣言要求做的學(xué)生將會(huì)被取消免費(fèi)的旅游權(quán)利，不按文明宣言要求即不禮貌或粗魯，故選A．
63．A    推理判斷題，根據(jù)第五段"Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel，which is paid for by Londoners，but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility"可知，年輕人應(yīng)該知道責(zé)任和好處并存．故選A．
64．D    細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段"under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their travel rights permanently"可知，最嚴(yán)重的懲罰是他們可能會(huì)永久失去他們的旅行權(quán)利．故選D．
65．C     主旨大意題．根據(jù)文第一段"Teenagers will be told to"stand up for their elders"on public transport-or risk losing their right to free travel．"可知，年輕人在公共場合要有禮貌，主動(dòng)給老人讓座，否則會(huì)受到懲罰，失去旅行權(quán)利．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)，一個(gè)常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點(diǎn)．

11．In every British town，large and small，you will find shops that sell second-hand goods．Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture，sometimes in books，sometimes in ornaments and household goods，sometimes even in clothes．
The furniture may often be"antique"，and it may well have changed hands many times．It may also be very valuable，although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms，where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds．As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables，you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood，of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love．
The books，too，may be antique and very precious； some may be rare first printings．Often when someone dies or has to move house，his books may all be sold，so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop．On the border between England and Wales，there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well．Even the cinema and castle have been taken over，and now books have replaced sheep as the town's main trade．
There are also much more humble shops，sometimes simply called"junk shops"，where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply．Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity．Even these pieces，though，can make you feel sad； you think of those people who once treasured them，but who have moved on，to another country or to death．
Although the British do not worship their ancestors，they do treasure the past and the things of the past．This is true of houses as well．These days no one knocks them down； they are restored until they are often better than new．In Britain，people do not buy something just because it is new．Old things are treasured for their proven worth； new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted．

47．Books found in second-hand book shops mayA．
A．be copies of the earliest printing           B．be on sale for the first time
C．never be worth very much                  D．never be rare
48．Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness becauseB．
A．they are too expensive for average buyers      B．they remind you of the original owner
C．they are now neglected                     D．they are sold for charity
49．Which of the following word can best take the place of the word"antique"in the second    paragraph？D
A．invention        B．possession       C．material        D．relic
50．According to the passage，the British peopleD．
A．do not respect old things because they are not fashionable
B．like to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so
C．like to buy new things because they are fashionable
D．do not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable．

1．Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted （走神） by e-mail，the Internet and other things throughout the day？According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA，most people have the experience．
"People often lose their concentration when they are bored，of course，but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks，"says Peter Bregman，the head of the survey．"They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring，so they jump out，"he says．The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center．Any strong emotion-quarrels with colleagues，problems at home-can interrupt our attention．Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction．
Refocusing is hard for many people．Robert Epstein suggests the following，"Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes．Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind．Go for a short walk or take a deep breath，where you breathe in deeply，count to five slowly，hold it and breathe out very slowly．"This can"blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus．"
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors．"Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness，"Mr．Bregman says．"You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it．"Starting the day with a to-do list is also important，such as when to eat，when to go to the gym or take a walk．But if it's overly ambitious，you will put yourself in a state of anxiety，which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate．"Choosing three or four things as your priority （優(yōu)先） for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus，"he says．

71．According to the passage，which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from their work？A
A．They don't want to be devoted to their work．
B．They are disturbed by the Internet and other things．
C．They can't find interest in their work．
D．They feel their work is too hard for them．
72．Which incident might not interrupt your attention？C
A．You were scolded by your teacher．
B．You had words with your good friend．
C．You went to school at six as usual．
D．Your mother and father had a quarrel．
73．According to Robert Epstein，how can we refocus on what we should do？B
A．Listen to rock music for some time．
B．Turn to your good friends or teachers for help．
C．Run around the playground for some time．
D．Take a breath from time to time．
74．What's the meaning of the underlined word"restore"in the passage？A
A．recover    B．reform   C．release  D．react
75．Why does the writer set the phone alarm to go off every hour？C
A．To blow out all the tension．
B．To become more aware of his behaviors．
C．To make a to-do list．
D．To remind him when to eat，when to go to the gym or take a walk．

6．It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29，she still didn't seek the spotlight（聚光燈）when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．
In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village-fox forming，trees filled in the Ontario wilderness，poor country alcohol and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．
Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life，There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．
25．We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice MunroB
A．didn't get on well with the media
B．remained modest though very successful
C．didn't value the title of Women of the Year
D．was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize
26．What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text？A
A．Her writing techniques                 
B．The complicated plots
C．The humorous language                
D．Her rich imagination
27．In her representative work Runaway，CarlaD
A．leads a happy life with Clark             
B．is a faithful wife to her husband
C．loses all hopes for a better life            
D．tries to run away from her husband
28．What is the text mainly about？C
A．Alice Munro and her hometown           
B．The awards Alice Munro won
C．Alice Munro and her writing style         
D．Alice Munro's literary life．
