7.Questions:
A.What should people look out for when buying a new pair of sports shoes?
B.What kind of technology might we see in sports shoes of the future?
C.Will a more expensive shoe make me run faster or jump higher,as the ads suggest?
D.When you say that expensive shoes are no better at preventing injury than cheap ones,is it true?
E.Some people say we should run just as well without shoes.What's your opinion of that?
F.You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes.Does this design actually work?

46.D
Nigg's Answer:That is a little bit overstated.But the relative frequency of running injuries doesn't seem to have changed much in the past 30years,in spite of all the developments in sports shoe design.The literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development.If you take a group of people and want to injure them,send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run.A lot of them will be injured in three weeks.The major factors are the distance run,the intensity and recovery time,not the shoes.
47.A
Nigg's Answer:The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes,you don't know what to do.Things that are sometimes done,like video analysis of your rear foot movement,may not help.The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels.If you feel comfortable in a shoe,it's likely to be good for you.We did a study with soldiers where we gave them six different inserts,and they chose the one they liked best.In four months those with inserts had 53per cent fewer injuries than those without.
48.C
Nigg's Answer:A shoe may act as a training device,making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users.Or it may use materials that last longer.That may have something to do with its price.However,for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features.Generally,the more a shoe controls movement,the more it acts like a cast,which means you have some muscles that don't work any more.This may mean that you lose some muscle strength,and your feet are more likely to be injured.
49.E
Nigg's Answer:There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot,but there is not yet enough evidence,or enough research,to prove that.If you look at performance,most papers suggest an advantage of 3to 4per cent.With a few exceptions-Abebe Bikila in 1960and Zola Budd in the 1980s-people don't run barefoot,so it may be that it's not an advantage,or it may be that we're just not used to it.
50.F
Nigg's Answer:Yes,for about 80per cent of people.The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.However,some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated,such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.

分析 加拿大運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋設(shè)計(jì)專家Benno Nigg曾為當(dāng)今眾多運(yùn)動(dòng)明星設(shè)計(jì)過(guò)多款運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋,如Masai MBT運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋.在接受采訪時(shí),Nigg回答了記者的5個(gè)問(wèn)題.

解答 46-50 DACEF 
46:D 在所有的選項(xiàng)中,只有D項(xiàng)與本部分中提到的injury吻合.
47:A 本部分?jǐn)⑹龅氖侨绾翁暨x稱心如意而又適合自己的運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋,故選A.
48:C 本部分闡述的是鞋在運(yùn)動(dòng)過(guò)程中的功能,故選C.
49:E 結(jié)合本部分中的unstable以及問(wèn)題中的unstable可判斷選F項(xiàng).
50:F 結(jié)合本部分中的barefoot以及問(wèn)題中的without shoes可判斷選E項(xiàng)

點(diǎn)評(píng) 1)從意思上判斷 在做題時(shí)最重要的是要讀懂空白前后的句子,正確理解了這些句子后,根據(jù)意思的連貫性、邏輯性或者線索詞從選項(xiàng)中選取正確答案.在讀懂意思的基礎(chǔ)上,再利用線索特征詞等進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)答案.
2)從詞匯上鎖定線索 做保持對(duì)一些線索詞的敏感是非常重要的,要好好關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動(dòng)詞,然后在選項(xiàng)中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等.其次是一些專有名詞,比如說(shuō)數(shù)詞、代詞、時(shí)間、年代、地點(diǎn)/名稱等.尤其是在讀不懂句子的情況下,利用這樣的線索詞尋找答案是很有效的方法.
3)從關(guān)聯(lián)詞作為切入點(diǎn) 通常,英語(yǔ)的句段之間經(jīng)常會(huì)運(yùn)用關(guān)聯(lián)詞表示過(guò)渡和銜接,讓文章的思路與更清楚、邏輯更連貫,因此文章中和選項(xiàng)中表示各種邏輯關(guān)系的路標(biāo)性信號(hào)詞在選擇答案時(shí)都是很重要的線索.在做題時(shí)可將這三個(gè)層面的線索很好地結(jié)合起來(lái).例如,在看到表示并列或遞進(jìn)關(guān)系的關(guān)聯(lián)詞時(shí),一般表示前后句子的名詞或句意具有同指性;而表示轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關(guān)系的詞則往往表示前后句子的名詞同指,但句意對(duì)立,或褒貶對(duì)立或肯否對(duì)立;而表示例證關(guān)系的詞則意味著在舉例之前或之后有表述概念或某一觀點(diǎn)的句子,往往會(huì)有復(fù)數(shù)名詞出現(xiàn).

2.iPads vs.Textbooks
What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips?In the first month of the Apple iPads release,25million were sold!People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things,but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook.(36)F
To begin with,iPad are less expensive.Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books,but with an iPad schools can update them for free.(37)C Schools don't have to spend $500every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated.
(38)E Students usually have multiple classes,which results in multiple textbooks.Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problem.A solution to that is an iPad,which only weighs 1.33pounds and can hold all of a student's textbooks.
Third,schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more capabilities.Some might think all of the apps are distracting,but the apps actually make iPads more efficient.(39)G Textbooks cannot do those tasks,but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip.
Lastly,iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time.(40)A With iPads,they find it easier to get their homework done.
In conclusion,schools should get rid of their clumsy textbooks and switch to iPads.iPads have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm of their hands.

A.These tablets are perfect for busy students.
B.Second,iPads cost less and are more popular.
C.Therefore,they can use the saved money for other programs.
D.iPads have already replaced textbooks in over 600American counties.
E.Moreover,in high school,textbooks have an average of 4.8pounds each.
F.Schools have every reason to do away with their school books and switch to iPads.
G.iPads absorb the need to buy calculators,dictionaries,and other items that are found within the device.

12.閱讀下面短文,按照要求完成閱讀任務(wù).
    HOW do you tell others you are speechless via text messages without too much explanation?Standard texts can be boring,and sometimes your emotions get lost in it,You have to be so good at using descriptive language to express your exact feelings.Hence the birth of the Emoji-cake with lit candles to say"Happy Birthday",or a grinning (笑嘻嘻) face with a party hat to show"I"m having a great time".
    For those who aren't in the know yet,.Emoji-which come from Japanese and translate to"picture letter"-expand on the idea of the emoticon(情感符號(hào))with cute,detailed,full color graphics.Instead of just typing a colon and parenthesis¨:)",you can choose from a grinning face with its eyes closed,a winking(眨眼) sticking its tongue out or a red-cheeked face with its eyes lowered in embarrassment. There are also  several Emoji hearts,ranging from swelling red ones,broken ones to those、with an arrow shot through them.
  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.The Emoji vocabulary also includes many objects from everyday life,such as animals,electronic appliances,tools,food and vehicles.With  some creativity you can make an entire sentence using only these cute symbols.
    Emoji might seem like a juvenile(幼稚的)form of  communication,and some even argue that they will cause people's language  skills to decline.But fans say they are humorous and take the edge away from serious conversations.
    Emoji have become so popular that an American named Fred Benenson recently launched a project called"Emoji Dick".His intention is to translate US writer Herman Melville's masterpiece Moby Dick (《白鯨》)into Emoji.Why is he doing this?He explained himself this way to The New Yorker.
"I'm interested in the phenomenon of how our language,communications,and culture are influenced by digital technology.Emoji are either a low point or a high point in that story,so I felt I could confront a lot of our shared anxieties about the future of human expression by forcing a great work of literature through such a strange new filter(濾鏡)."
56.What is Emoji?(No more than 4 words)picture letter 
57.Why do some people worry about the rising popularity of Emoji?(No more than 15 words)they will cause people's language skills to decline
58.What does the underlined word"confront"in Paragraph 6 mean?(No more than 4 words)deal with
59.Please give a title to this passage.(No more than 6 words)Talking about Emoji
60.What do you think of Emoji?(No more than 20 words)It is a humorous way to express fellings when used probably..

16.On a snowy and cold morning,near Oxford Maryland,a friend of mine was about to set the breakfast table when she leaned forward and peered close to the frosted window.She saw a large Canada goose,very(21)still,its wings folded tight to its sides,its feet frozen to the(212)iceon the Tred Avon River.
Then from the dark skies,she saw a line of swans moving steadily and gracefully to the(23)east.Suddenly the leader swung to the right,then the white line became a white circle and(24)floatedfrom the top of the sky downward,and finally(25)landedon the ice.As the swans surrounded the(26)frozengoose,she feared the poor goose might lose its(27)lifequickly.

17.Living to Tell the Tale is the first book in a planned trilogy(三部曲) that will make up the memoirs(回憶錄)of Gabriel Garcia Marquez,the famous Colombian writer who initially won public praise in the mid-1960s for his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.At that time,Garcia Marquez,a journalist and writer had never sold more than 700copies of a book.While driving his family through Mexico,he had a real brainstorm.He remembered his grandmother's storytelling technique---to recall fantastic,improbable events as if they had actually happened---literally.He turned the car around and drove back home to begin One Hundred Years of Solitude in a new way.To my mind it is one of the 20th century's best works of fiction,and won Garcia Marquez the 1982Nobel Prize in Literature.
Living to Tell the Tale relates the early years of the author's life,although some of the book's most important incidents happened earlier than Garcia Marquez's birth.The impact of these experiences,the people and their stories were to have a powerful effect on him,as a man and as a writer.This is the tale of his parents'love,marriage and the birth of their children.It tells of his early years which were spent in Aracataca,in the home of his grandparents.His grandfather,Colonel Nicolas Ricardo Marquez Mejia,was a soldier of the Thousand Days'War.He was supposedly a storyteller of great reputation.He told his young grandson that there was no greater burden than to have killed a man.Later Garcia Marquez would put these words into the mouths of his characters.His grandmother,Tranquilina Iguaran Cotes,also had a major influence on Garcia's life.No matter how fantastic her statements were,she always delivered them as if they were the absolute truth.This was the style which was to affect Garcia Marquez's fiction,sometimes called"magical realism".The woman filled the house with stories of ghosts and future signs,all of which were ignored by her husband.He had little interest in"women's beliefs".
In 1940,when he was 13,Garcia was awarded a scholarship to a secondary school for gifted students.It was during his school years,1940s and 50s,that he was first drawn to poetry,a national obsession in Colombia.He and his friends,fellow students,would read aloud and discuss poetry late into the night.Too poor to buy his own books,Gabriel would read novels borrowed from friends.
While still a boy,he decided he wanted to be a writer.The people who surrounded him in his childhood later became instrumental when developing the characters and the storylines for his novels.Love In the Time of Cholera was inspired by the romance between his mother and father.And his grandfather,who had twelve children (some say 16),became Colonel Aureliano Buendia in One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Garcia Marquez began Living to Tell the Tale,however,not with his real birth in 1928,but with his"birth as a writer",at age 22.he and his mother took a trip from Baranquilla,where he was working as a reporter,to his childhood home in Aracataca.They were going to sell the old house.Vivid memories were stirred up here,memories which electrified his imagination.This trip was to change the course of his writing life.
Living to Tell the Tale is not a conventional literary memoir.It is a magical combination of memoir and national history written in the author's remarkable voice.It is his personal mythology.In spite of poverty,Garcia Marquez acknowledged his early years were filled with joy,a sense of well-being and encouragement from many people.
65.The storytelling technique of Marquez's grandmother is mentioned to show thatB.
