Dear Sirs,
As a concerned parent,I am writing to protest(抗議) your recent advertisement for Electro-Robo seen in local media in California.Specially,I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads (attached to this letter) published the week of November 15.
Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature(不成熟的) way,that is,they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle-class parents.Further,your product is violent in nature.Your advertisement gives children the impression that it's fine to have"two guns and laser eyes."You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them"when you go outside."This is not a healthy attitude for children to have.
I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.
Sincerely yours.
(Mrs.)Alma Hernandez

分析 本文是一封信件,寫信的目的是反對玩具公司刊出的對孩子不利的廣告.

解答 28-31 BDAA
28:B   主旨大意題.由第一段第一句"I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro-Rain seen in local media is California."可知信的作者寫這封信的目的是對一個廣告進行抗議,故正確答案為B.
29:D  細節(jié)理解題.由第二段第三句"Your advertisement gives children the impression that it's fine to have'two guns and laser eyes.'"可知信的作者認為這個廣告很暴力的原因之一是這個廣告讓孩子們覺得擁有槍和激光眼是一件很好的事情,即容忍了孩子們武裝自己,故正確答案為D.
30:A  推理判斷題. Enc 出現(xiàn)后引出了作者附在信上的前文所提到的完整的廣告,由此可推斷 Enc 的意思是指附在信上的附件,故正確答案為A.
31:A  細節(jié)理解題.由倒數(shù)第三段第三句"He can walk,talk,and even shake your hand!"可知沒有提到這種自動化機器人玩具可以坐下,正確答案為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面的選項(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

4.Do you ever wish for a little more time to do everything you need to do?Well,on July 1 you'll be getting it--but only one more second.
  On July 1 at exactly 7:59:59 a.m.Beijing time (or on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC,Coordinated Universal Time),the world's atomic(原子的) clocks will pause for a single second,or,more precisely,change to the unusual time of 7:59:60,according to theverge.com.The addition of a leap second(閏秒),announced by the Paris Observatory,is to keep our clocks in time with the slowing of Earth's rotation(旋轉(zhuǎn)) and astronomical time as measured by the sun.
   Just one extra second could cause big problems and affect the way computers and websites work,however.When the last leap second was added back in 2012,more than a few websites had some trouble.As reported by Phys.org,popular sites like the community website Reddit crashed when the leap second was added.
  For Reddit,the problem was eventually found to be with a Linux system that got confused when it checked the network time and found an extra second.
  Speaking to Wired about the problem back in 2012,Linux creator Linus Torvalds commented:"Almost every time we have a leap second,we find something.It's really annoying,because it's code (代碼)that is almost never used,and thus not tested by users under their normal conditions."
  Companies have had to think of their own solutions,and Google's"leap smear"may be the best-known example.As company engineer Christopher Pascoe explains in a blog post,companies usually try to fix the problem by turning back the clocks by one second at the end of the day so that they play that second again.
  However,Pascoe believes this creates problems.He asked:"What happens?Does e-mail that comes in during that second get stored correctly?"
  Google has a solution:Cut the extra second into milliseconds and then put these tiny amounts of time into the system throughout the day."This means that when it became time to add an extra second at midnight,"says Pascoe."Our clocks have already taken into account over the course of the day."
  For many companies without Google's money,however,the leap second will likely still cause some crashes.Don't worry,though-at least it won't last long!

51.Why do we need to add a leap second?C
A.The world's atomic clocks are set to do so.
B.To keep in time with the world's computers.
C.To keep atomic clocks in time with the slowing of Earth's rotation.
D.To record the changes to astronomical time.
52.What happened to the website Reddit when the leap second was added in 2012?D
A.It crashed because of a virus attack.
B.Its network time added two extra seconds.
C.All of the code in its Linux system went wrong.
D.One of its software systems got confused and the site broke down.
53.What does the underlined word"something"refer to in the 5th paragraph?A
A.The code not working properly.
B.The extra second.
C.The problem.
D.Normal conditions.
54.How do companies usually deal with the problem of the extra second?C
A.By shutting down computers at the end of the day.
B.By stopping receiving emails that come in during that second.
C.By turning the clocks back by one second at the end of the day.
D.By cutting the extra second into milliseconds throughout  the day.
55.What's Christopher Pascoe's attitude toward Google's solution to the problem?C
A.Unfavorable   
B.Doubtful  
C.Approving  
D.Cautious.

16.George claims that he read 53books in 2012.My friend and I found this fairly unbelievable,considering he seems to have a pretty full schedule.
Anyway,it appears that I am on track to read 72new books this year.But I've come to realize that this number can easily be skewed(扭曲).For instance,currently I am reading Rising Tide:The Story of the Mississippi Flood of 1927.This book is over 700pages.It's going to take me the month of May (along with Harry Potter rereads; I can't read nonfiction while going to sleep).So my May average will be way off.However,when I read chick-lits (雞仔文學,都市女性文學),I can get those done in a day.I guess it all depends on what I choose to read.
In reality,reading is beneficial because it encourages us to slow down our thinking,and also to fully interpret someone else's experience.Reading keeps the mind sharp and expands a person's vocabulary.We read to educate ourselves.We read to help ourselves.We read to escape our own lives and live in that of another for a little while.
