11．More than seven hundred years ago，the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert．
One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men．He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son．The baby was in a wooden cradle，which was like a small bed．
When the Prince came back from hunting，Gelert ran out to meet his master．He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest．Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert's jaws and head．
"What have you done？"the Prince said．He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son．The cradle was lying on its side on the floor．The clothes were torn and there was blood on them．
"So you have killed my son？"the Prince said angrily．"You unfaithful（不忠實的） dog!"He took out his sword and killed the dog．Just as Gelert was dying，he managed to bark．Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog．
The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt．Near him was a dead wolf．Then the Prince knew that Gelert had  defended  the baby and killed the wolf．
The Prince ran back into the house but he was too late．Gelert was dead．The Prince was very sad indeed．Tears ran down his face when he realized he had killed his faithful friend．The Prince carried the body of his brave dog to the top of a mountain and buried him there．After this，the Prince never smiled again．Every morning at dawn，he walked up the mountain and stood by the dog's grave for a few minutes．
If you go to Mount Snowdon in Wales，people will show you where Gelert is buried．There is a sign by his grave．It reminds people of a brave and faithful dog．

1．Indian's snake charmers （耍蛇者） are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．The charmers，who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子），used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins．
The government is now considering a plan to train the snake charmers，as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife．There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders （入侵者）．
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest，"said Behar Dutt，a professor behind the plans，"if a policeman doesn't catch them，animal rights activists report them．"
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hanging from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target （目標） for police．
The fate of Shisha Nath，56，from Badarpur，a village just outside of Delhi，is typical of practitioners （從業(yè)者） of the dying art．"I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，"he said．"Now it's hard to earn even for a day．My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．But it's become impossible．"
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune，western India，where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge．
More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers．
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，"said Prakash Nath，who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader．

2．With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer，Jeremy Lin （林書豪） finished the New York Knicks'dramatic reversed victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters．
   The Knicks have won six games in a row，and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions．Although the season is still young，the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff （季后賽） contestant．Lin，not team's high-paid stars，has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job．
After nearly 15 years of disappointing，sometimes unsuccessful seasons，Madison Square Garden is alive again，and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks．To put things into perspective，consider this：Just several years back，Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas．
Now，Madison Square Garden Co．shares are at a record high，the Knicks'average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup （首發(fā)陣容），and jersey sales are increasing very quickly．I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem，and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s．
Beyond the Knicks，Lin may be saving the NBA as well．Just a few months back，the NBA took a massive credibility hit during a multi-month lockout，where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels．As a consequence，the season did not even begin until Christmas Day．Over the past few years，LeBron James'（勒布朗﹒詹姆斯） relatively long and unpleasant free-agent （自由職業(yè)球員） events，combined with poor play around the league，have angered fans and damaged the league's brand．
Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival．His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans，increased NBA sales in China，and turned the basketball world upside down．
51．According to the passage，Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following exceptD．
A．The NBA                                     
B．Madison Square Garden Co．'s shares
C．The Knicks                                    
D．Coach Isiah Thomas
52．The underlined word"young"in Paragraph 2 probably means"A．"
A．in the early stage    
B．not old yet．
C．not completely grown．
D．in the development      
53．Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．These Knicks'stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season
B．The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden
C．The owners and the players didn't agree on raising the TV ratings
D．The Knicks didn't satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season
54．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks，probably including the NBA
B．why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks  
C．how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff  
D．why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin．

19．"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic．"say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．
         The lowering of the waters'PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues，they warn．Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett，from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory，report their concerns in the journal Nature．Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air，and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater．Once in the water，it reacts to form carbonic acid．Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century．
         These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere，"said Dr Caldeira．And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超過） anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years，let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小行星） impacts
          However，it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface，where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur，but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs（珊瑚礁） and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（碳酸鈣） may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up，the team predict．They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH．
         In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered．"Previously，most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing--because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet，and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean，it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming．"
57．The ocean is becoming more acidic due toC．
A．the lower water PH value                                     
B．the warming atmosphere
C．the higher level of CO2 in the air                         
D．the increasing use of oil fuels
58．According to Dr Caldeira，D．
A．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B．more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
59．If the water's acidity level keeps rising，A 
A．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B．the water's PH value will become higher and higher
C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changes
D．some disastrous events will occur more often than before
60．Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduceB．
A．the CO2 absorbed by the ocean                          
B．the amount of greenhouse warming
C．the acidity of the ocean                                         
D．the gradual release of CO2．

6．Jiang Nan，a full-time mother in Beijing，keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home，carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries．"Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns，but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations，"she explained．
Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production，sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter （毫米），and retailers（零售商） are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers，regardless of the thickness．
Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping．"A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao，but it's more about how bad they are for the environment，"Jiang said．
The plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities，and has been distinctly effective in reducing white waste．On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing，an NGO environmental organization，shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone，saving more than 1.2 million tons of petroleum．
However，enforcement shows considerably less muscle in smaller cities，towns and country-side．In a remote town like Lichuan，the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities．Street vendors（街頭小販） worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags．Seeing no significance in the issue，local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag traffic in the market．
There are still those who don't have an interest in living green．Cui Lin，another Beijinger，often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping，and has to buy plastic bags．"Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner，and I don't mind paying a couple more jiao，"he shrugged．
Mrs Yu，a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County，Jiangxi Province，recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s，Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market．"Plastic bags are more convenient，"she comments，and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags，paid or free．This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day．
49．In Paragraph 1，the writer uses Jiang Nan's case toA．
A．introduce a topic                                      
B．tell a story
C．describe a person                                      
D．offer an argument
50．How did Jiang Nan get her cloth bags？C
A．She bought them at a low price．
C．She borrowed them from her relatives．
B．She got them for free．
D．She made them herself．
51．Which is NOT the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping？A
A．Cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry．
B．People's awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough．
C．People don't mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags．
D．Street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them．
52．What message does the writer mostly convey in the passage？C
A．To reduce white waste is urgent．
B．The plastic bag ban has achieved great success．
C．There is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban．
D．People's awareness of environmental protection should be stressed．

3．In our culture，the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same．Women often are told"You can't have it all．"Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is："You choose a career，so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life．"or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career？"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that，for women，well-being has two aspects．One is mastery，which includes self-respect，a sense of control over your life，and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life，to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect，and it is made up of happiness，satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure，and vice versa（反之亦然）．For example，a woman who has a good job，but whose mother has just died，might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life，but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time．
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women，and correct past mistakes．In the past，women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study，all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed．
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles．At least by middle adulthood，the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages，motherhood，and employment-were the highest in well-being，in spite of warnings about stress and strain．

65．It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD．
A．for women，a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B．for women，a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C．women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
66．The author's attitude towards women having a career isB．
A．negative         B．positive         C．indifferent          D．realistic
67．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles，D．
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
68．Which of the following can be considered as a source of"pleasure"for women？A
A．Family life                              B．Multiple roles in society

20．Michael，Rae，Jequita，Alice，Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common：They all love animals so much that they're driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter．
The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter，help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray（流浪）pets．
The shelter，at 12300 Wayne Road，opened in June 2011and operates on money raised in the community．To date，bingos and other fundraising activities have brought in more than＄177.000，according to community leader William Wadsworth，but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet．
"Without their help，this building would not be an outstanding place，"Wadsworth said．"Their time and devotion is beyond what I ever expected．And I thank them all．"
The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers，Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff，who spend much of their day patrolling（巡邏）the city and housing stray dogs and cats．The two，both with 32 years of experience，count on the public to be the eyes and cars of the shelter．They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter．
That's where the volunteers come in．They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption．They clean cages，play with the animals，feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks．They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms．
"We couldn't do it without them，"said Ratcliff．"They come in and go right to work．We depend on them a lot．They help run the place，"added Hall．

（61）F Loudness either indicates arrogance or insecurity．A charming polite person makes another person feel good．Keep this goal in mind．Be considerate of other people's needs and opinions．Don't make unfavorable remarks towards any kind of ethnic，political or religious groups under any circumstances．
（62）D You might want to practice this a bit so you don't squish （攥緊） people's hands，depending on how strong you are．That would make them feel uncomfortable．Beware especially when shaking hands of women who are wearing rings．Too much pressure can be very painful．Remember too that many people with an"old-school"etiquette background （especially if you are in Europe） find it inappropriate to offer your hand for a handshake to a lady or an older gentleman if you are a gentleman，or to an older lady，if you are a lady．
（63）E Try not to talk about yourself too much-if they want to know （or are polite） they'll ask．Be confident and charming．Do not hog the conversation，which is too rude．Look interested and listen to the answers．Don't look over the person's shoulder or around the room when they are talking，or let your eyes linger on the hot new guest who just walked in．That implies that you are distracted or not interested-that your conversational companion is not important or interesting enough to bother paying attention to．
（64）A Always be courteous （客氣的），as you might meet this person again in another setting and wouldn't want to have caused negative memories that would give you a bad standing．If someone annoys or even insults you，don't get into an argument．Say"Let's agree to disagree"and change the subject，politely debate，or simply excuse yourself from the conversation．
（65）C For silverware，go from the outside in．Place your napkin on your lap，and do not add anything to the table that was not there when you got there （cell phone，glasses，jewelry）．Put your purse between your feet，under your chair．Women should not apply makeup at the table．It is rude and demonstrates a lack of refinement．If you want to fix your makeup or check if something is in your teeth，go to the restroom．

A．Be nice．
B．Be aware that manners vary．
C．Know the proper dinner manners．
D．Shake hands firmly and look them in the eyes when doing so．
E．Start a conversation by asking questions about the other person．
F．Have a laugh which shows you are having fun，without being loud．
