8．For decades，the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technology industry．Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley．But the area has not always been associated with charity（慈善）．
Now，a new generation of entrepreneurs（企業(yè)家）appears to be changing Silicon Valley．One example is Marc Benioff，a donor（捐贈(zèng)者），who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities．He also is the founder of Salesforce．com，a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children's hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city．
Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity．Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America．His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications．He says，traditionally，donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth．Usually donors are in their 70s．But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40years of age．Benjamin Soskis says that is something new．"There's a whole new model that's appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time．"
Some of the young donors on this year's top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity．That is especially the case in the San Francisco area，where giving money and making money appear to be coming together．"I think it's fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity．"

25．What is true of Marc Benioff？D
A．He joined a non-profit organization．     B．He advised donors to build hospitals．
C．He made San Francisco a city of charity． D．He set up the company of Salesforce．com．
26．What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley？C
A．They prefer to give rather than make money．  
B．They give after accumulating a lot of wealth．
C．They are much younger than the usual donors． 
D．They donate more money to their communities．
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？B
A．The age of charity       B．The changing faces of charity
C．In search of new faces   D．From computer base to charity centre．

9．People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license．The law went into effect on January l．California is not the first American state with such a law，but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants．More than a million people  began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect．Among them was Christian Alvarado．Mr．Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U．S．government．Some call such people"illegal immigrants．"Others call them"undocumented immigrants"
Mr．Alvarado thinks is so exciting，for be has been waiting for the license for a long time．But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them．Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles，or DMV．He says people should not be afraid，for such information will not be shared．
The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words"Federal Limits Apply"．That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building．Ana Garcia，working at the Central American Resource Center，says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them．Civil rights groups say the police and others
Dan Schnur，a political scientist at the University of Southern California，said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior．But Professor Schnur argued that young，white Americans generally support immigration reform，including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
"It's simply because they grew up a much more multiculturl society than their parents or their grandparents did："Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States．

29．Why did the new law make Mr．Alvarado excited？A
A．Because he can request a driver's license．
B．Because he became a legal immigrant of California．
C．Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant．
D．Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants．
30  What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'？B
A．The words"Federal Limits Apply"will abuse illegal immigrants
B．They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building．
C．They can be used to act against the police and other people．
D．With the words"Federal Limits Apply"，immigrants can enjoy special rights．
31．What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California？D
A．supportive    B．negative       C．neutral          D．controversial．

6．A．Analyze visual information．
B．Have a good concentration skill．
C．Do a good workout．
D．Keep a good memory．
E．Use logic and reasoning skills．
F．Build up language skills．

Many men are devoted to exercise to build up their bodies，but the phrase"use it or lose it"applies to more than just the muscle in our bodies-it also applies to our brains．Here are 5tips that can help our brains stay sharp．
（76）D
It plays an important role in all cognitive activities，including reading，reasoning and mental calculation．There are several types of its work in the brain．Taken together，these are the cognitive skills we may notice most when they begin to fail．To keep a good memory，you need to train for it，which can be easier than you think．Listening to music is enjoyable．By choosing a song you don't know and memorizing the lyrics，you improve your memory skills．
（77）B
It is necessary in nearly all daily tasks and it enables you to focus despite noise and to think about several things at once．We can improve the skill by simply changing our routines．Change your course to work or reorganize your desk-both will force your brain to wake up and pay attention again．
（78）F
It will increase your ability to recognize，remember and understand words．With regular practice，you can expand your knowledge of new words and more easily think of words to say because they will come to you more naturally．For example，if you usually only read the sports section，try reading a few business articles．You'll learn new words，and by using them you can also exercise your brain．
（79）A
You can also exercise your brain by taking advantage of your environment．Try walking into a room and picking out five items and their locations．When you exit the room，try to remember all five items and where they are located．Too easy？Wait two hours and try to remember those items and their locations．Analyzing what you saw will force you to use your memory and train your brain to focus on your surroundings．
（80）E
It helps you make decisions，build up hypotheses and consider the possible consequences of your actions．Activities in which you must define a strategy to reach a desired outcome and calculate the right moves to reach the solution in the shortest possible time are actually fun activities you can do daily．For example，playing video games requires you to come up with a strategy so as to advance to the next level．

3．The iPhone，the iPad，each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fashion．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
In general，single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's"i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"instead？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn't have one clear definition，"he says．
"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability （輕便）．"adds Thorne．
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason．
Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．
But as history shows，people grow tired of fads（一時(shí)的狂熱）．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However，as we entered the new century，the trend eventually disappeared．
72．People use iPlayer toC．
A．listen to music                           
B．make a call
C．watch TV programs online                  
D．play computer games
73．We can infer that the Independent's"i"is aimed atB．
A．fashionable women      B．young readers       C．old readers      D．engineers
74．Nowadays，the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areD．
A．environmentally friendly  B．a(chǎn)dvanced     C．recyclable   D．portable   
75．The writer suggests thatA．
A．the popularity of"i"products may not last long
B．"i"products are often of high quality
C．iTeddy is a live bear popular in the US and UK
D．the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products．

10．Annual holidays have become a luxury and are no longer a staple of family life，according to government research．
A getaway of a week or more is no longer considered essential by many families and is often beyond their reach，said the analysis of what parents and children say they really need．Fashionable clothes for the children，expensive birthday parties and lots of toys are also on the list of luxuries families don't have to have．Instead，recession-hit parents are thinking of the future，and the things they want for their children centre around learning to behave properly，good education and good health．
Their picture of what a family ought to have includes a space to eat together away from the television，plenty of fruit and vegetables，and bicycles so children can get exercise．
The breakdown of necessities and luxuries was prepared by researchers from the Department for Work and Pensions（DWP） who were trying to establish an up-to-date picture of what parents say they really need．
Their findings show how families have scaled down their expectations in the face of economic difficulties-how parents are now concentrating their attention and money firmly on the long-term interests of their children．Many believe that while it is vital for a family to do things together，day trips or weekend breaks are enough．
Spending on furniture or decorating the house was also considered luxurious，unless the state of the home was so bad it became difficult to invite visitors in．
Instead，researchers said：A family home should have an area where the family can eat together，not on their laps in front of a television．Families should be able to go on outings，overnight trips and possibly short holiday：the fact of being able to share these experiences is more important than the precise activity and its cost．
71．It can be inferred thatD．
A．a(chǎn) week or more holiday is considered beyond many families'reach
B．children hardly ever need fashionable clothes and lots of toys
C．what a family should have is basic things that they must have
D．a(chǎn)nnual holidays were once considered necessary and vital
72．In the opinion of most parents，B．
A．families can watch TV together in order to keep up their relationship
B．day trips or weekend breaks are enough for families to share experiences
C．their expectations should be increased in the face of economic difficulties
D．a(chǎn) week's holiday is an essential minimum during the financial crisis
73．Which of the following is TRUE of the researchers from the DWP？C
A．They confirm many families still need at least a week away on holiday each year．
B．They learn it is insignificant for a family to do things with each other regularly．
C．They want to know what parents really need in the face of economic difficulties．
D．They found spending on furniture or decorating the house was thought valuable．
74．We can conclude from the last paragraphA．
A．being able to share experiences is important for families
B．a(chǎn) family needs at least a week away on holiday each year
C．a(chǎn) family home should have a comfortable area to watch TV
D．going on outings and overnight trips is wasting time for families
75．What does the author mainly discuss in the text？B
A．Cycling is very important for children's health．
B．Family holidays once a year have become a luxury．
C．It is vital for parents to eat together with children．
D．Parents are concerned with children's future．

This fantasy world，with its wonderful plants and animal life，is brought to life by using impressive special effects．Many people believe that 2010is the breakthrough year for the technology helped by 3-D movies such as Avatar．"It has taken the best of our technology to create this  virtual world and real life will never be as perfect as it seems on screen．It makes real life seem more imperfect．"

8．Bad moods can actually be good for you-an Australian study finds that being sad makes people less possible to be taken in，improves their ability to judge others and also improves memory．
The study，carried out by psychology professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales，showed that people in a negative mood were more critical of，and paid more attention to their surroundings than happier people，who were more likely to believe anything they were told．"Although positive mood seems to promote creativity，flexibility，cooperation，negative moods lead to more attentive，careful thinking and encourage people to pay greater attention to the outside world，"Forgas wrote．"Our research suggests that sadness promotes information processing strategies best suited to dealing with more demanding situations．"
For the study，F(xiàn)orgas and his team conducted several experiments that started with inducing （引起，導(dǎo)致）happy or sad moods in participants through watching films and recalling positive or negative events．In one of the experiments，happy and sad participants were asked to judge the truth of urban myths and rumors and found that people in a negative mood were less likely to believe these statements．People in a bad mood were also less likely to make quick decisions based on racial or religious prejudices（偏見），and they were less likely to make mistakes when asked to recall an event that they witnessed．
The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments．Forgas said this showed that a negative mood may actually promote a clearer and more successful communication style．"
"Positive mood is not universally desirable：people in negative mood are less prone to judgmental errors，and are better at producing high-quality，effective persuasive arguments"Forgas wrote．

56．According to the text，people in a bad mood are more likely toA．
A．judge other people more exactly
B．believe anything they are told
C．make quick decisions based on prejudices
D make mistakes when asked to describe an event
57．We can learn from the text that Joseph ForgasD．
A．carried out the experiments alone
B．is a psychology professor in Britain
C．likes to deal with demanding situations in life
D believes bad moods might benefit people's health
58．In what way did Joseph Forgas conclude the study？A
A．By comparison
B．By explanation
C．By analysis
