10．Le Whif，an inhaler （吸入劑） that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight，is to be on market in British stores．The invention，called the world's first breatheable food，lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one calorie．Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline．
The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles （粒子） which are small enough to be carried by air，but too large to enter the lungs．Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs （一陣氣味） and costs﹩1.99 on its own，or﹩4.99 a pack of three．The inhaler is available in chocolate as well as coffee flavor．
It was invented by Prof．David Edwards．He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences，such as allowing people to try a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal．
He said，"In terms of living on whiffing，we aren't even close to being there．But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently，and choosing food for its aesthetic （審美的） pleasure．We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months．It is reasonable to predict that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered．"
The product came onto market in Paris in 2009and the first production run of 25，000inhalers were sold out within a month．It has since been made available across France and in the US．In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month，after which it could become more widely distributed．

64．We can learn from Paragraph 1thatA．
A．Le Whif isn't availabe in British stores yet
B．Le Whif can help dieters to lose weight
C．Le Whif is calorie-free
D．Le Whif is popular with British chocolate lovers

A．To replace food．
B．To help people stop drinking coffee．
C．To replace the traditional chocolate．

B．The whiffing products in the future will be improved．
C．Le Whif can make people eat less food．
D．Le Whif is a revolution that will change people's life．

分析 本文主要介紹Le Whif這個(gè)新發(fā)明的吸入劑，既可以讓人們享受美食，又不增肥．

解答 64-66ADB
64：A   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第一段第一句"Le Whif，an inhaler（吸入劑） that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight，is to be on market in British stores．"中的"to be on market in British stores"可知 Le Whif 現(xiàn)在還不能在英國被買到，故正確答案為A．
65：D   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第三段第二句"He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences，"可知發(fā)明Le Whif的目的是為了增加人們的就餐經(jīng)歷，故正確答案為D．
66：B    細(xì)節(jié)題．由第四段第三句"We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months．"可知David同意吸入劑在未來還有待改善，故B項(xiàng)正確．A項(xiàng)，由第四段第三句"We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months．"可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．C項(xiàng)，由第三段第二句"He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food…"可知 Le Whif 不能代替食物，因此不能讓人們吃更少的東西，所以C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．D項(xiàng)，文中沒有相關(guān)內(nèi)容，所以D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．故正確答案為B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文，把握文章大意，對(duì)文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解，能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié)，并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)判斷．

1．Downloading music over the Internet is pretty common among high school and college students．However，when students download and share copyrighted music without permission，they are against the law．
A survey of young people's music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800illegally copied songs each on their digital music players．Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive （硬盤），enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time．Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites，so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors，or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs．Such practices may be easy and free，but there are consequences．
Sandra Dowd，a student of Central Michigan University，was fined US7，500fordownloading501filesfromLimeWire，apeer-to-peerfilesharingprogram．Sandraclaimedthatshewasunawarethatherdownloadswereillegaluntilshewascontactedbyauthorities．Similarly，MikeLewinskipaidUS4，000to settle a lawsuit（起訴）against him for copyright violation （違反）．Mike expressed shock and couldn't believe that this was happening to him．"I just wanted to save some money and I always thought the threat was just a scare tactic（戰(zhàn)術(shù)）．""You know，everyone does it，"added Mike．
The RIAA （Recording Industry Association of America），the organization that files lawsuits against illegal downloaders，states that suing （控告） students was by no means their first choice．Unfortunately，without the threat of consequences，students are just not changing their behavior．Education alone is not enough to stop the extraordinary growth of the illegal downloading practice．

18．Commencement （畢業(yè)典禮） is a time for idealism．
But economic reality is cruel everywhere； especially for new graduate．They have been told repeatedly that a college degree is an open sesame（芝麻） to the global economy．But that's not necessarily so，according to new research by two economists at he Massachusetts Institute of Technology，F(xiàn)rank Levy and Peter Temin．
It is true that people with college degrees make more money than people without degrees．The gap has narrowed somewhat in recent years，which is disturbing．But the earning power of college graduates still far outpaces that of less-educated workers．
The bad news，though，is that a college degree does not ensure a bigger share of the economics pie for many graduates．In recent decades Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin show，only college-educated women have seen their income grow in line with economy wide gains in productivity．The earnings of male college graduates have failed to keep pace with productivity gains．
Instead，a huge share of productivity growth，which expands the nation's income，is going to Americans on the top of the income scale．In 2005，the latest year with available data，the top of 1 percent of Americans---whose average annual income was $ 1.1 million---took in 21.8 percent of the nation's income，their largest share since 1929．
Administration officials，and other politicians and economists，often，believe that income inequality，reflects an education gap．But Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin show that in the case of men，the average bachelor's degree is not enough to catch the rising tide of the global economy．
They argue that the real reason that inequality is worsening is the lack of strong policies that broadly distribute economic gains．In the past，for example，a more progressive income tax and unions promote equality．Positive measures have been eroding and new ones have not yet emerged，making the income gap even greater．
Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin conclude that only a new government policy can restore general prosperity．That's a challenge to the nation's leader and today's graduates．America needs them to contribute to the development of the nation in global economy．
41．The passage is mainly about thatC．
A．there is a big income gap between female and male college graduates in America．
B．college graduates find it hard to find an ideal job after graduation in America．
C．research shows that American government should take measures to ensure income equality for college graduates
D．college degrees are losing value in America．
42．What is the main idea of paragraph 5？B
A．The whole nation has enjoyed a big income growth with the growth of productivity．
B．Much of the total income in America has been gained by a few very rich people．
C．A small part of people in America have income increase．
D．Upper class Americans contribute most to productivity growth．
43．The underlined word"eroding"in paragraph 7 probably meansB．
A．being gradually destroyed by wind or rain   
B．gradually reducing power
C．gradually disappearing                  
D．gradually not suitable
44．We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．female college graduates have higher income than male ones．
B．female college graduates have benefited from some governmental measures to ensure their income growth．
C．income tax can grantee income equality．
D．new measures and policies have been taken to promote income equality．
45．From the passage，some economists believe that the worsening income inequality is caused byB
A．lower college degree of college graduates  
B．lack of proper governmental policies
C．gender discrimination        
D．underdevelopment of economy and productivity．

5．If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2011．The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its car-plane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2011．
"It's the next‘wow'vehicle，"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh．"Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，F(xiàn)erraris don't fly．"
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving．A runway is still required to take off and land．
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both．The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations．
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly．They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go．When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road．There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home．
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10，000feet．It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1，430pounds，including fuel and passengers．Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal（臨界）conditions．
The Transition's price tag：$194，000，But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，transponder or GPS．Another option is a full-plane parachute．
"If you get into a very awful situation，it  is the necessary safety option，"Gersh said．
So far，the company has more than 70orders with deposits．"We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，"Brown said．

56．We can learn from the first paragraph thatB．
A．car-planes will be popular in 2011
B．people might drive a car-plane in 2011
C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
57．lt takes the car-plane one minute toB．
A．fold and unfold its wings           B．unfold wings for flying
C．land in the airport                 D．meet flying safety regulations
58．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？C
A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land．
B．To meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA．
C．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes．
D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home．
59．The underlined word"it"in the last but one paragraph refers toD．
A．the radio        B．the transponder      C．the GPS      D．the full-plane parachute
60．What's the best title for the passage？A
A．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner
B．Which to Choose：A Ferrari or a Car Plane？
C．A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly
D．Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes．

15．Bekoji is a small town of farmers in the Ethiopian highlands．There，time almost stands still，and the number of horse drawn carts is much greater than that of motor vehicles．Yet，it has consistently produced many of the world's best distance runners．
It's appealing．When breathing the thin air of Bekoji，to focus on the special conditions of the place．The town sits on the side of a volcano nearly 10，000 feet above sea level，making daily life a kind of high altitude training．Children in this region often start running at an early age．Covering great distances to fetch water and firewood or to reach the nearest school．Their disproportionately （不成比例地） long legs is also advantageous for distance runners．

Encouraged by such signs of success，thousands of kids from the villages surrounding Bekoji have moved into town．They crowd the classrooms at Bekoji Elementary School，where Eshetu works as a physical education instructor．All these kids share the same dream．Some day they could become another Derartu Tulu．

19．Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be．Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night．And on the Internet，the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant （不相關(guān)的）．A half century ago in the United States，most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time．Today the boundaries still exist，but they seem not clear．gkstk
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday； in most，it no longer does．It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer； in most，it still does．And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits，or whether it should become more"flexible，"is often debated．How should we，as a society，organize our time？Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other？gkstk
These are not easy questions even to ask．Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face．We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer （學(xué)監(jiān)），we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law．As adults we are familiar with"extra pay for overtime working，"but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes （構(gòu)成）"overtime"is a matter of legal definition．When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time，have we ever thought to ourselves："Here is the law in action"？As we shall see，there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time：compulsory education law，overtime law，and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing，holidays，being late to work，time zones，and so on．Once we begin to look for it，we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess．

51．By saying"Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be"，the writer means thatD．
A．work time is equal to rest time              
B．many people have a day off on Monday
C．it is hard for people to decide when to rest
