17．February 4，2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin．
    Among professional basketball players，Jeremy Lin's background is not typical．He graduated from Harvard University，which sends few players to the NBA，and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player．
    Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan．When Lin's father moved to U．S．，his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son，introducing him to the game at the age of five．The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun．
    In high school，Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA．When he applied for college，he was not offered a single sports scholarship．However，after his admission to Harvard，he was offered a place on its college basketball team．
    During Lin's time at Harvard，his basketball career began to speed up．He scored 1，482 points，making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history．
    When he graduated，no professional teams offered Lin a contract，but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League．He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors．
    At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement．He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years．But slowly，the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety．In a few very difficult months，he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up．
    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream，so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come．Then his moment arrived on February 4，2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight．After that，he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory．Knicks fans developed the nickname for him"Linsanity"（林發(fā)瘋）．Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100"Most Influential People in the World"，Jeremy Lin included．
67．Which of the following is of little help in Lin's success？D
A．his father's influence            
B．his devotion to basketball
C．his years of hard work           
D．his graduation from Harvard University
68．What does the phrases"wore off"in seventh paragraph probably mean？B

B．Lin got an easy entry into NBA．
C．Lin didn't show his basketball talents in Harvard University．

分析 文章講述了林書豪的成長經(jīng)歷．講述他的NBA之旅并非一帆風順，最后取得了成功．

解答 DBCA
67．D 第二段講到他父親對他的影響，林書豪還是小孩時就對籃球很熱愛，第六段When he graduated，no professional teams offered Lin a contract，可見，他畢業(yè)于哈佛大學，這個名頭并沒有給他多少幫助．
68．B 推斷題．定位在倒數(shù)第二段，剛開始很興奮，但是隨后興奮感消失了，取而代之的是焦慮． disappear 消失   arose 出現(xiàn)   grew 生長  remain 仍然
69．C 判斷題．第二段he is the only Chinese-American NBA player．故選C．A．應為5歲時就學習打籃球． B．倒數(shù)第二段，講到他剛開始時并不順利，甚至在紐約尼克斯隊選正確被兩個隊拋棄過．D．夸大其詞，文章并未提到他是最杰出的．
70．A 推斷題．林書豪的NBA之路并非一帆風順．排除法選A． 第五段講到了林在哈佛的表現(xiàn)非常出色．

點評 文章講述了林書豪的成長經(jīng)歷．講述他的NBA之旅并非一帆風順，最后取得了成功．解答這類題把握好文章的主線，運用排除法及細節(jié)分析對比法，解答好每一題．對于69題的判斷題，要仔細對照全文，既要避免絕對化語言，也要避免偷換概念，以偏概全．

8．The crisis at Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry．Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States．He says the disaster in Japan is historic．
This week，the chairman of America's nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States．Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats．No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979．That was when America's worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania．The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy．
To support more clean energy production，the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers．Presently，about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy．But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion．
German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would doae all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered．The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations．
Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion．China said it would continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants．And India，under a cooperation agreement with the United States，plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years．
Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s．Unlike many major economies，Japan imports eighty percent of its energy．The Nuclear Energy Institute said twenty-nine percent of Japan's electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011．The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2017．
Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity．Nuclear energy is a clean resource，producing no carbon gases．But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue．So is the presence of nuclear oower centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr．Iran．
71．Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy？D
A．China．                          B．India．             
C．Iran．                           D．Germany．

A．Most of the electricity comes from nuclear energy in the U．S．
B．The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants．
C．A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979．
D．A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s．
74．What's the main idea of this passage？B
A．The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world．
B．The situation of the world's nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan
C．Japan's nuclear disaster will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world
D．Japan's nuclear disaster won't affect the nuclear energy production in other countries．
75．From the last sentence of the passage，we can see the writer's attitude toward building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr，Iran isC．

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．

12．The decision to enter F1and compete at the highest level of motorsport was an intended move by Toyota，the world's third largest auto manufacturer，to further challenge its own capabilities．By going head-to-head with the industry's top performers on the world's premier racing stage，the Japanese giant was setting itself a huge task．A sport with an enormous international following，the risks of entering the F1arena are high-but there are rich rewards for those who succeed．Besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology，the intense competition in this most demanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction．More importantly，it fosters（培養(yǎng)）the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking．
While F1benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors，the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team．Mistakes were made and valuable lessons were learned，among which was the fundamental truth："To stand still in F1is to go backwards．"
With the past in mind，preparations for the 2003season included sweeping changes on both the technical and personnel（人事的）sides．The management at Toyota Motorsport GmbH was restructured，with John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President，thus enabling the company founder，Ove Andersson，more time to concentrate on the operation of the race team at the track．Andersson's value as an inspirational leader was one of the team's biggest assets（財富）in 2002．

68．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2mean？B
A．To go backwards，Toyota has to stand still．
B．If Toyota doesn't make improvements，they will fall behind．
C．Keeping calm will help go forward．
D．In order to keep up with other teams，Toyota has to stand still．
69．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．Toyota entered F1to enlarge its market．
B．Entering F1is low risk but rich rewarding．
C．Toyota team has always been experienced．
D．Toyota made good preparations for the 2003season．
70．What will the next paragraph talk about if the passage goes on？B
A．Preparations for the 2003season．
B．The value of Ove Andersson．

9．Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child．Last spring one at the two，Australia，gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 20ll．I wasn't surprised when this didn't make the news here in the United States-we're now the only wealthy country without such a policy．
The United States does have one explicit family policy，the Family and Medical Leave Act，passed in 1993．It entitles workers to as much as 12weeks'unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem．Despite the modesty of the benefit，the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly，describing it as"government-run personnel management and a"dangerous precedent （先例）．"In fact，every step of the way，as （usually）Democratic leaders have tried to incrouce work-family balance measures into the law，business groups have been strongly opposed．
As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues，justifying parental support depends on defining （定義）the family as a social good that in some sense，society must pay for．Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives：there is''no exit"when it comes to children．Society expects-and needs-parents to provide their children with continuity of care．And society expects-and needs-parents to persist in their roles for 18years，or longer if needed．
While most parents do this out of love，there are public punishments for not providing care．What parents do，in other words，is of deep concern to the state，for the obvious reason，that caring for children is not only morally urgent but important to the future of society．To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting：really，it is to steal those benefits because they accrue （累積） to the whole of society as today's children become tomorrow's citizens．In fact，by some estimates，the value of parental investments in children，investments of time and money，is equal to 20-30% of GDP．If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer．

67．What do we learn about paid family leave from Paragraph 1？D
A．It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy．
B．Setting up this policy made Australia less influential．
C．It has now become a hot topic in she United States．
D．No such policy is applied in the United Slates．
68．What makes it hard to lake work-family balance measures in the States？B
A．The incompetence of the Democrats．
B．The opposition from business circles．
C．The lack of a precedent in American history．
D．The existing Family and Medical Leave Act．
69．What is Professor Anne Alston's argument for parental support？B
A．Children need continuous care．
B．Good parenting benefits society．
C．The cost of raising children has been growing．
D．The U．S．should keep up with other developed countries．
70．Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice？D
A．Parenting is regarded as a moral duty．
B．Parenting relies largely on social support．
C．Parenting produces huge moral benefits．
D．Parenting is basically a social undertaking．

7．Educating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment （投資） available in the developing world．Women's education may be an unusual field for economists，but raising women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social problem．And economics，with its emphasis on motivation，provides an explanation for why so many girls can't receive education．
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family：girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children．Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prediction turns into reality，trapping women in a vicious circle （惡性循環(huán)） of neglect．
An educated mother，on the other hand，has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices．She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children，ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance．The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls，as well as of boys，will be educated and healthy．The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle．
Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits．But it has enormous economic advantages as well．Most obviously，there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers．Wages rise by 10to 20per cent for each additional year of schooling．Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments，but they are just the beginning．Educating women also has a significant influence on health practices，including family planning．
