3.Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s,60s or even 70s?Most people consider when they get retired,they are supposed to be completely laidback,do something fun,or hang around.(36)GIt's particularly important to the elderly.
Through learning,we know how to think,how to memorize,how to ask questions and even how to interact with others.According to a study,while we are learning,"the brain creates neural(神經(jīng))pathways"that make us smarter.(37)F The more we learn,the mote new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning,it doesn't mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge.What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out.(38)BEveryone learns from bottom to up.If we have an interest to learn,that desire will naturally push us to move forward.
As we feel worn out from learning,don't be discouraged.(39)EAn old saying goes,"Birds of a feather fly together."As long as we have partners to learn all together,our learning excitement will come alive again.On the contrary,if we don't learn,and choose to distance ourselves from other,we might be getting dumb,and slow; eventually,we lose energy,and life passion.Instead of being bored,dumb,why don't we keep learning?
(40)DMore importantly,learning explores our life horizon,helps us build up our confidence; gradually,it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and achievement in the process of learning journey.

A.It's never too old to learn.
B.Don't worry if we cannot learn well.
C.You should set a high learning target.
D.Learning makes us understand how potential we are.
E.Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.
F.In other words,our brains are active as we learn something new.
G.However,the truth is that learning makes us energetic,and self-fulfilled.

分析 短文介紹了當(dāng)我們退休時(shí)們,很多人認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該做一些有趣的事情,或者逛逛,但事實(shí)并非如此.我們依然可以學(xué)習(xí)新的東西,而且對(duì)我們有很大的好處.

解答 GFBED
36.G 上下文 語(yǔ)境.根據(jù)前句Most people consider when they get retired,they are supposed to be completely laidback,do something fun,or hang around可知,大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為退休時(shí),他們應(yīng)該做一些有趣的事情,或者逛逛,但事實(shí)并非如此,此處和下句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故選G.
37.F 上下文 語(yǔ)境.從上句while we are learning,"the brain creates neural(神經(jīng))pathways"that make us smarter得知,當(dāng)我們學(xué)習(xí)時(shí),大腦創(chuàng)造神經(jīng)讓我們更聰明,換句話當(dāng)學(xué)習(xí)新東西時(shí)大腦是活躍的,故選F.
38.B 上下文 語(yǔ)境.該段主要介紹當(dāng)學(xué)習(xí)新東西時(shí),不意味著我們一定要學(xué)到很多知識(shí),我們需要的就是學(xué)習(xí)我們喜歡的,所以下句為"別害怕學(xué)不好"符合語(yǔ)境,故選B.
39.E上下文 語(yǔ)境.根據(jù)后句An old saying goes,"Birds of a feather fly together."As long as we have partners to learn all together,our learning excitement will come alive again可知,建議我們要找一個(gè)和自己有共同興趣愛(ài)好的伙伴一起,故選E.
40.D上下文 語(yǔ)境.通過(guò)最后一段的介紹More importantly,learning explores our life horizon,helps us build up our confidence可知,學(xué)習(xí)開(kāi)拓我們的視野,建立自信,讓我們意識(shí)到自己潛在的能力,故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 答題前一定要略讀全文,把握文章要表達(dá)的主題,注意前后句與句,段落與段落之間的關(guān)系.答題中,一定要認(rèn)真分析,注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系,與前后單詞的關(guān)系.對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來(lái)完成,因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來(lái).答完后再通讀一遍文章,看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語(yǔ)句通順,語(yǔ)意連貫.

12.It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time,and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true,possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic devices,a reading-material explosion,a popular interest toward tight or pocket less clothing,or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.
But,much as nature finds ways-such as disease-to control overpopulation,city life has thrown up impediments(障礙)to bags.To enter many public buildings,such as theatres and railway stations,you must go through a search or go bagless.The city has countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight,and you're never sure,when leaving home for the day,whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.
Last week,the New York Public Library got in the game.Students,researchers,writers,historians,and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library.If you walk in with one,you must leave it at the coat check.You may keep its contents with you,however,and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.
What the library is trying to prevent,in this case,is people taking things out,rather than bringing things in.A librarian said on the second day,"It's a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats.The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so.The people who steal will continue to get away with it,if they really want to."

24.How many reasons does the author list to explain the changes related to bags?C
A.2    B.3    C.4    D.5
25.What do the bag rules in many public buildings require people to do?A
A.Have their bags examined.    B.Pay for bringing in bags.
C.Leave the places bagless.    D.Use big clear plastic bags.
26.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?B
A.To change people's way of reading.
B.To prevent people stealing things.
C.To help people better use the library.
D.To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.
27.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?D
A.Excellent.    B.Satisfacfory.    C.Harmful.    D.Limited.

11.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.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.
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?
•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.

28.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
D.the line between work time and rest time is unclear

A.fail to make full use of their time
B.enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C.a(chǎn)re unaware of the law of time
D.welcome flexible working hours

A.need to acquire knowledge
B.have to obey their parents
C.need to find companions
D.have to observe.the law
31.What is the main idea of the passage?A
A.Our life is governed by the law of time.
B.How to organize time is not worth debating.

18.In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁榮).Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs.In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture In modern society there is a great deal of argument which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition.Among themost vocal are youngsters who have suffer under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse:"I may have lost,but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try."What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only when this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear(緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

32.What does this passage mainly talk about?B
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinion about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
33.The underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3 meansC.
A.those who try their best to win.
B.those who value competition most highly.
C.those who are against competition most strongly.
D.those who rely on others most for success.
34.What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a"desire to fail"?A
A.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B.One's success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.
35.Which point of the view may the author agree to?D
A.Every effort should be paid back.
B.Competition should be encouraged.
C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

8.We've reached a strange-some would say unusual-point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization,more people now die from being overweight,or say,from being extremely fat,than from being underweight.It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.
Worse still,nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.What's going on?
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.
In the 1970s,F(xiàn)inland,for example,had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005,and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food.They say:it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans,complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
Some also blame their parents-their genes.But unfortunately,the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape,or rather slim.
It's a similar story around the world,although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say-not as I do.

28.What's the"strange"point mentioned in the first sentence?B
A.Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.
B.The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
C.WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.
D.Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.
29.Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?C
A.Body image has nothing to do with good food.
B.A lot of effective diet pills are available.
C.They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
D.There are too many overweight people in the world.
30.The example of Finland is used to illustrateC.
A.there are too many overweight people in the world
B.the cause of heart disease        
C.the effectiveness of a campaign
D.the fashion of body shaping
31.Which would be the best title for the passage?B
A.Overweight or Underweight
B.Actions or Excuses   
C.WHO in a Dilemma
D.No Longer Dying of Hunger.

15.How to write a Letter to ParentsAs a teacher,one of the most difficult parts of your job is working with parents.(36)G Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this.If you do it properly,this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.
•Put positive communication in the letter,even if you are writing to discuss a problem.(37)F Even if it is difficult,you must find this positive spin(言辭),because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss.The general rule is"start with the good,hit them with the bad,then end on a positive note".
•Share the problem with the parents.Express your concern and desire to help.(38)E Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution to the problem.
•(39)A You can ask them to write back,sign a part of the letter or give you a call.If you do not hear from them,you should call them.Be caring,but make sure they got the communication.Remember,your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.
•Consider mailing the letter to the parent,rather than sending it home with the student.Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents,while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter.(40)D

A.Ask for a response.
B.Respect parents and never quarrel with them.
C.Whenever you meet with problems,you should keep cool.
D.Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.
E.Do not place it completely on their shoulders,as they may hate this action.
F.You can do this by pointing out a little progress the child has made recently.

12.It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering,but much emotional pain can be easily masked.(36)F"We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being,"says Dr.Barbara Van Dahlen,a clinic psychologist.Simply asking someone"How are you"may just get"Fine,thank you",says Van Dahlen."It's important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they're afraid to ask for,"she adds.The following are four signs a friend might need help.
(37)B
If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting-maybe he's not smiling much these days,for instance-trust your feelings and reach out."Try saying,‘I see these things.I care about you.Can I be of help?'"Van Dahlen says.
He's unusually unhappy or annoyed.
(38)D"It may take more than one time to follow up if you're talking to someone who is upset,"Van Dahlen says,"but if a friend responds with anger,that could mean you're onto something."
He's less put together than usual.
Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene(衛(wèi)生) can be signs that someone is in trouble.Don't consider these behaviors are nothing.(39)C
He seems overwhelmed (壓倒) by life.
No one is happy all the time,but if your once optimistic friend can't find anything to be hopeful about,he may be having thoughts of worthlessness,sadness and something negative."(40)G"says Van Dahlen,"so that more people can get the help they need."

A.He's acting a bit more withdrawn.
B.He doesn't seem like himself lately.
C.Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend.
D.Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.
E.It's a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health,
F.Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.
G.We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health.
