4．As we know，most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money．But money is not all powerful．Money can't buy many things such as time and true love．There are 24 hours in a day．Sometimes when we are very happy，we wish that the period of happiness would last longer．But no matter what we do，or how much money we are willing to pay，we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours．On the other hand，when we are unhappy，money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly．True love is another thing which money cannot buy．Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much．Once he dies，he can give us no more love．Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before？Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love．Money can buy us diamond things，beautiful clothes，but never time and love．So money，after all，is not all powerful．
66．What does"powerful"mean in the passage？B
  A．strong            B．effective             C．great          D．a(chǎn)ctive

分析 這是一篇關(guān)于金錢觀的科教文，告訴我們金錢萬能嗎？眾所周知，在我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪写蠖鄶?shù)物品都得用錢買，但是金錢并不是萬能的．比如說時間，用錢是買不到的．一天有24小時．有時當(dāng)我們非常高興的時候，我們多么希望這段時間延長些．但是不管我們作出多大的努力我們都不能使一天超過24小時．從另一方面講，當(dāng)我們不高興的時候，再多的錢也不能使這段時間迅速過去．我們也許非常有錢，但我們不能把已逝的時間買回來．俗語說：光陰一去不復(fù)返．以上非常清楚地告訴我們：錢雖然能買到我們需要的許多東西，但它絕對買不到時間，因此金錢不是萬能的．

解答 BADDA
66．答案 B 根據(jù)But money is not all powerful．Money can't buy many things such as time and true love可知，錢不是總是那么強大有力，錢是買不到時間和真愛的，故答案為B
67．答案 A 根據(jù)文中But money is not all powerful．Money can't buy many things such as time and true love．可知，金錢可以買到鉆石等一切物質(zhì)的東西，但買不來真心，鉆石、房子和豪車是物質(zhì)的東西，故答案為A
68．答案 D 根據(jù)文中So money，after all，is not all powerful．可知，金錢不是萬能的，故答案為D
69．答案 D 結(jié)合全文作者的觀點，金錢不是萬能的，金錢買不到時間和真愛，故D最符合題意．
70．答案 A 結(jié)合全文，我們需要的是更多精神上的東西而不是物質(zhì)，故選A

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

14．Today，in many high schools，teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs，digital cameras．DVD players and laptops．Teachers can e-mail parents，post messages for students on online bulletin（公告，告示） boards，and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse．
Even though we are now living in the digital age，the basic and most important element of education has not changed．Most students still need that one-on-one，teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed．Teenagers need instruction in English，math or history，but they also want personal advice and encouragement．Kids talk with me about their families，their weekend plans，their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems．In my English and journalism class，we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive（富有哲理的） essays，but we also discuss college basketball，the war in Iraq and career choices．Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars，their family vacations，and their newborn baby brothers．This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace．
A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general．Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around，I knew his family life was far from ideal．Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades，he always had the same reply："It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway．"Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way，I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my"value of a high school education"lecture．He needed to hear this speech from me．After he left my class，he struggled through the next two years of school．But，he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there．We'd cared about him finishing school．
Recently，I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant．I told him again how proud I was of him．He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician．I encouraged him to get that training．
Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide，to tutor，to listen，to laugh and to cry with them．Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process-the human one．

41．The first paragraph mainly discussesB．
A．the variety of modern teaching methods
B．the wide use of modern technology in education
C．the importance of teacher-parent relationship
D．the importance of using modern technology
42．The underlined word"compassionate"in Para 5meansC．
A．a(chǎn)mbitious   B．knowledgeable   C．sympathetic   D．generous
43．According to the text，the most important element in education isD．
A．teacher's good instruction   B．a(chǎn)dvanced technology
C．teachers'encouragement       D．personal connection
44．The author states his view of education byA．
A．example   B．description   C．figure   D．comparison．

15．In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off．
Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it's going to rain．"I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile．
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus．As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh that bus left five minutes ago．"Dreams of head-cutting！
It's not the news that makes someone angry．It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered（遞送）．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone．Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver．
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this．When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces．
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy（同情），I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that's all right I'll catch the next one．"Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轟炸的）person is sure to have．

63．In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh toB．
A．make a comparison                   B．introduce a topic
C．describe a scene                    D．offer an argument
64．In the writer's opinion，his neighbor wasC．
A．friendly         B．warm-hearted      C．not considerate      D．not helpful
65．From"Dreams of head-cutting！"（Paragraph3），we learn that the writerA．
A．was mad at the sales agent
B．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
C．wished that the sales agent would have had dreams
D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night．
66．What is the main idea of the text？A
A．Delivering bad news properly is important in communication．
B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success．
C．Receiving bad news requires great courage．
D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful．

12．There are many differences between America and China．The biggest difference is traffic rules．In America there are too much more cars than in China．But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China．We hardly see traffic police in the street，but all cars obey strictly traffic rules，and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street．
About American traffic rules，there are many better terms，such as：
1．Stop line：There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light （some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines）．All cars must stop while meeting the stop line．
2．Traffic light：There is traffic light in the crossing of the road．Cars may almost turn every direction．The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn．There is a kind of middle lane of turning left．When a car wants to turn left in the road，he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left．When he thinks being safe，he may turn left．In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically．If people want to change lane or turn，they must look behind and think being safe．Only so，they may do it．
3．Specific item：Such as parking，there are three kinds of lines （their colors are white，blue or red） in the roadside．Every line may park different kinds of cars．There are many streets in some residential areas （住宅區(qū)），and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time．In every parking，there are some special positions for invalid （傷殘的） people．
4．About the priority of passenger and car：At any case，passengers have the priority to cars．And only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep，cars may go ahead．
In general，traffic rules of America are very specific，convenient，safe and humanizing．

59．Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in America？C
A．Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules．
B．The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street．
C．There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can't be seen．
D．The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety．
60．Why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road？A
A．It is designed for the cars that want to turn left．
B．It is very safe to drive there．
C．It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules．
D．The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left．
61．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．In America，all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line．
B．In America，any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas．
C．If people want to turn，they can obey the guide of the traffic police．
D．There are more traffic jams in China．

19．While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged，loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face．Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness，a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one．This phenomenon is commonly known as"Empty Nest syndrome"．
In order to find better chances outside their countries，many young people have gone abroad，leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home．Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights，taking care of themselves，in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them．The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries．Whatever the case，it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what the actually do．This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves．
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as"distant parent phenomenon"，which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries．Our society has not yet been well prepared for"Empty Nest Syndrome"．
66．According to the passage，the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused byD．
A．their earlier experience of living alone
B．the poor living conditions in their native countries

9．Have you eaten too much over the holidays？You should try fidgetingfor a while．Those around you might not like it，but scratching （moving your nails against a part of your body） and twitching （moving suddenly and quickly when you don't want to） is an important way of burning up calories．
 American researchers have found that some people's squirming （continuously turn your body when nervous） and wigging （move in small movements，especially from side to side） equals several miles of slow running each day．
 The scientists，based at the National Institute of Health's laboratory in Phenix，Arizona，are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim．
  In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels．By the end of the day，some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping，（moving the front part of your foot up and down） finger-drumming （hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard） and other nervous habits．However，others had burned up only 100 calories．

16．Dances are effective tools to convey messages．With the dance，music and well-designed actions，viewers can sway（搖擺）with what they hear and see．It's not just hearing an emotional tune or seeing some expressive movements，it is a way to get the soul．
More than strongly conveying a message，dances have a lot to offer us．Dances also allow us to express out feelings at certain moments．More than expression of strong emotions，dances are about a lot more things．We owe it to everyone to learn how to dance．Dances can unify people because they spend time together dancing．Every human culture develops some or other forms of dances to celebrate occasions．It also could be a suitable and inspirational form of entertainment．And it is leisure（休閑）with physical benefits．It takes us away from the hassle of normal life and allows us to relax while we have a dance，which is a good form of exercise．
The types of dances in the whole world are unlimited．There are the most commonly studied and performed types though．And probably the most widely known type of dance in the world is ballet．Jazz is a fun way to dance relying heavily on originality，improvisation（即興）and bold dramatic expression．There is tap dancing with floor tapping with creative rhythmic patterns．Hip hop on the other hand came from the hip hop culture．There are many variations of hip hop．They are breaking and popping，to name a few．Removing the strictness of ballet，we have the modern dance．

13．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．
There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime，it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

65．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？B
A．Those who often take exercise．
B．Those who often watch television．
C．Those who often have meals at home．
D．Those who often walk to school．
66．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
67．The word"steer"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB．
A．force         B．guide          C．expect          D．observe
68．The main purpose of the text is toC．
A．tell a story      B．provide facts
C．give advice       D．compare opinions．

14．The American tradition of Thanksgiving dates back to colonial times，to the Pilgrims（清教徒） of Plymouth rock Colony．To escape religious persecution（迫害） in England，the Pilgrims journeyed to the New World on their ship，the Mayflower．After a long journey，they finally arrived at Plymouth Rock in autumn of 1620．They could not finish building the settlement before winter，so many froze to death．They ate most of their food on the journey over，so many also starved．However，the Pilgrims met a Native American named Tisquantum，or Squanto as he was better known，who taught them how to plant corn and catch eel（鰻魚）．By the same time next year，the Pilgrims had built a steady settlement，and had a bountiful harvest．To thank the Native Americans for their help and to celebrate the harvest，the Pilgrims held a grand banquet（盛宴）．Together，they feasted on corn，yams，fish，and most importantly：roast turkey，which became the highlight of the modern Thanksgiving feast．
Schools always make a big deal about Thanksgiving，because they feel that it teaches children how to be thankful and to treat others with kindness．I spent the many years of elementary school making paper turkeys，fake cornucopias（a shell filled with food，a symbol of the holiday），and writing lists of what I'm thankful for．When I grew older，I watched movies and read books about the First Thanksgiving，and completed crossword puzzles and word searches filled with holiday themed words．While the idea for Thanksgiving is great，and it is a wonderful opportunity to instill certain values in children，I don't think we should name a special holiday for being thankful．We should be thankful for what we have every day，not just Thanksgiving．
56．What's the main reason for the English Pilgrims to leave their home country？B
