    Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player，Andy Murray，will be

Recommended for a knighthood(爵士頭銜)for ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men’s champion title．David Cameron，the British prime minister，who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon．told reporters that he couldn’t think of anyone who deserves one more．

    More news on the knighthood is surely to come．but Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish．not English．

Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland’s  first minister, Alex Salmond, waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag．in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory．No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896．Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray’s achievement had been a victory for Britain． “Absolutely，and for tennis fans

everywhere，"Salmond said．“Let everyone enjoy the victory．But you will allow us just the little

private thing．Let us wave our national flag．’’

    The Scottish government，headed by Salmond，has announced that Scotland will hold a

referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014．Murray，who lives in the

London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane，has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue，and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views．

    But this was，make no mistake，a national moment．Murray’s semifinal victory over Jerzy

Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers．the biggest of the year in

Britain．The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million，the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the B BC．

Only one name will go on the trophy(獎杯)，but tennis at the highest level has now become a

team event．Murray，who once had frequent fits of anger during matches，has transformed himself

into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group．Murray’s rise to

champion has clearly  something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis

champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the2012 season．“He’s been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him．”

    Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next

month，and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱)

well and truly over．    ．

72．The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray’s_____.

A．a(chǎn)chievement            B．knighthood

C．champion title           D．nationality

73．Which of the following is TRUE?

    A．Murray is the first British to have won the singles at Wimbledon．

    B．Murray’s victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew the biggest audience of the year．

    C．Murray has won the championship of the United States Open before．

    D．Murray was born a strong，talented and cool-headed tennis player．

74．What does the author mean by saying“the British drought well and truly over”?

    A．Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain．

    B．Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held．

    C．British government’s rule over Scotland will come to an end soon．

    D．The British people’s desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied．

75．What does the writer intend to tell us?

A．The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray’s victory．

B．Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain

C．The secret lies behind Murray’s Wimbledon victory．

D．Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum．

A new U．S．government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with

drug—resistant bacterial infections(感染)，and 23，000 of them are dying as a result．The head of

the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably

will grow．Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic(

抗生素)drugs．

    Without urgent action to stop that trend，warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report，

the miracle drugs to fight them won’t be available in the future．

    “If we are not careful，the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a

lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection．But if we act now，we can preserve these

medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines．”

The report names a drug—resistant abuse of gonorrhea(淋病)，which causes about one quarter

of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually．Of the number at least 1 4，000 result in

death．

    Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti—bacterial agents．These can be：doctors prescribing(開藥) them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed，

so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened，not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm

animals to prevent illness and promote growth．Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal

products can then lead to drug resistance in humans．

    To limit the spread of resistant infections，experts recommend wider use of routine

immunizations(預防)，as well as hand—washing in hospitals and other health care facilities．Also，

the report urges hand—washing by food handlers．?

    Michael Bell，deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC，said

Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions．

68．What’s the best title of the passage?

  A．Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US

  B．Drug—Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US

  C．Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US

  B．there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future

  C．we can’t find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future

  D．more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year

70．Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea

annually，deaths add up to_____.

A．a(chǎn)t least 5.6％  B．a(chǎn)bout 25％    C．a(chǎn)bout 1.4％    D．a(chǎn)t least 2.5％

  B．doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients

C．doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients

D．patients don’t take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe

Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are

used in lessons，research suggests．They are quicker to learn and

absorb new concepts，and display higher levels of concentration．

Professor Anne Bamford，of the University of the Arts，London，

studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries，including the UK．Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks，improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons．They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿動作) to answer the test questions successfully．

The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding，increased

attention span．more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons．

Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film．Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影儀)，laptops with good picture capabilities，3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(動作) into classrooms．

But Danny Nicholson，an educationist，said the technology would be impractical to use in

schools and could be costly．He said，“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting，

I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意兒)．There are a few cases where a true

3D image might help，but most of the time，good 2D models that can be moved would be just as

effective．”

        In the US，one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1．000 3D

projectors fixed in classrooms．And the University of Caledonia．which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin．has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils．Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version．

64．What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?

A．There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images．

B．Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes．

C．Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology．

D．3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology．

65．Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D_____.

A．is of no help in classes

B．has a bright future in classes

C．is more practical than 2D models

D．may not be affordable for schools

66．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

    A．3D technology will replace 2D models in the future．

    B．Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before．

    C．Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training．

    D．3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado．

67．The underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means_____.

A．a(chǎn)bsorbed       B．a(chǎn)nnoyed

C．relaxed         D． confused

Having just quit a highly moneymaking job with tech giant Microsoft in the United States，where he’d made millions working as a program manager，Patrick Awuah would wake up once in a while wondering if he’d done the right thing．

    What Awuah wanted was to create a university in hi s native Ghana．a(chǎn) state-of-the-art education centre that would help educate the country’s next generation of leaders．Awuah moved with his family．back to Ghana．There，he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University．

“Africa needs to have a renaissance(復興),” says Awuah as he explained what drove him to

take the risky decision．“The world needs to change in this way and I strongly believe that people

like me need to be part of the solution；I need to be really actively involved in helping to drive this

change in Africa‘‘

     Located about an hour's drive from the capital Accra，Ashesi，which appropriately translates to “beginning,” is the first Ghanaian university to combine technical majors with a liberal arts approach．Its campus，set on 100 acres in a town called Berekuso，was designed to be inspiring for

the more than 500 young Ghanaians studying there．

  “So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years．When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s，that person is going to be a leader．”

Today Ashesi，which celebrates its 10^th anniversary this year，offers degrees in business，

information systems and computer science．There are plans to offer engineering and economics

majors in the near future．The school’s graduation rate is between 70％and 90％，according to

Awuah．

In our last freshman class，50％ of the students paid full tuition(學費)，25％were on full

scholarships and 25％on partial scholarships ,”he said．“The reason why variety is so important is

that the most important conversation on campus is a conversation about the good society—what is the good society we would like to see in Africa? That conversation is a lot more interesting if you have variety in the classroom，”adds Awuah．    。

56．.In Awuah’s opinion，Africa should be changed by
