　　Text 1

　　The first time I heard the actual London Bridge was in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, I thought it was a joke. A stupid joke at that. I mean, what sort of moron would take a perfectly good, perfectly famous bridge and move it halfway around the world to some no-name town in northwest Arizona? Back in 1962 when all this started, Lake Havasu City was nothing. A couple of shops, a couple of homes, and no tourism at all.

　　It turns out Robert McCulloch is the moron in question, and he wasn't quite the moron I thought he was. His 2.45 million dollar investment(投資) in the 130-year-old bridge--which the British government was selling because it was about to fall into the Thames(泰晤士河)--ended up being the investment of a lifetime. You see McCulloch was a real businessman, among other things, and his money paid off big. He turned Lake Havasu into one of the most visited tourist at-tractions in Arizona.

　　It took nine long years to take down the bridge, ship it brick by brick to the middle of no-where, and build it up again. When it finally did open up in 1971, it was a huge deal covered by the international press.

　　The bridge is now a popular tourist attraction, and there' s even a mini "English Village" at the foot of the bridge with souvenirs (紀(jì)念品 ) and real British food so you can have a good old time.

　　Nowadays Lake Havasu is a busy town with a population of about 56,000 citizens and another2.5 million visitors each year. Most of that is during spring break when the town overflows with energetic boys and girls. Even MTV and the Girls Gone Wild people get in on the action. All thanks to that little bridge.

　　I don' t know about you, but I' m saving my pennies. When the French get sick of that Eiffel Tower, I' 11 be the first to put money on it. It' 11 look great in my backyard.

　　56. The underlined word "moron" in the first paragraph means

　　[A] a brave person [B ] a foolish person[ C ] a famous person [D] a strange person

　　57. Why did the British government put the London Bridge up for sale?

　　[ A ] It polluted the Thames.[ B ] It was no longer popular.

　　[ C ] It was going to fall down.

　　[ D ] It could bring them the needed money.

　　58. What was Lake Havasu City like before 1962?

　　[ A ] It was a good place for investment.[ B ] It was known for its English Village.

　　[ C ] It was a small town with no tourism.[ D] It had a population of 56,000 citizens.

　　59. In the last paragraph, the author tries to be

　　[ A] polite [ B] friendly [ C] practical [ D] humorous

　　Text 2

　　Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that hands-free cellphones are just as harmful to drivers as hand-held ones because it is the conversation, not the phone, that is distracting(分散) their attention. "Even though your eyes are looking right at something, when you are on the cellphone, you are not as likely to see it," says Professor David Strayer. "Ninety-nine percent of the time, it's not that critical(危急的), but that l% could be the time a child runs into the street," he adds.

　　Dr. Strayer' s studies have also found that talking on a cellphone is far more distracting than talking with a passenger. Listening to the radio, to music or to a book on tape also isn' t as distracting, because it doesn' t require the same level of interaction as a conversation. But even drivers may miss some details of a book on tape if their attention is focused on driving tasks. Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important--like police officers learn to search faces in crowds.

　　And the Utah researchers have found a rare group of "super-taskers"--about 2.5% of the population--who seem able to attend to more than one thing with ease.

　　Many more people think they can effectively do several things at the same time, but they are really turning their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either. Clearly, it is easier to put some tasks together than others. "Not all distractions are the same," says Dr. Strayer. Things like cleaning and working out can be done automatically(自動地) while the mind is focused elsewhere. But doing homework and texting at the same time isn' t possible. Even talking and watching TV is difficult. "Just try talking with your wife while watching football. It' s impossible," jokes Dr. Strayer.

　　60. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

　　[ A] The harm in using phones while driving.[ B ] The advantages of hand-held phones.

　　[ C ] The danger of running in the street.

　　[ D ] The causes of road accidents.

　　61. What does the example of police officers in Paragraph 2 show?

　　[ A] Searching for faces require more attention than driving.

　　[ B ] Talking to a crowd calls for a high level of attention.

　　[ C ] One' s attention can be easily distracted in crowds.

　　[ D ] The ability to attend to two tasks can be trained.

　　62. "Super-taskers" can be best described as people who can

　　[ A ] do several things effectively at the same time[ B ] turn their attention rapidly to two things

　　[ C ] handle all difficult tasks with ease[ D ] pay full attention to one task

　　63. Which of the following can you do while talking on the phone?

　　[ A ] Doing homework. [ B ] Writing a letter.[ C ] Working out. [ D ] Watching TV.

　　Text 3

　　Young women who take part in beauty contests (比賽) are helping to keep alive an outdated opinion of women: that a woman' s most important value is how she looks.

　　Women have been working very hard through the years to change their image (形象). They have been trying to prove that the value of a woman does not lie only in her beauty. The world is just beginning to recognize that women are as smart, wise and strong in personality as men are, and that there are qualities more important than looks when judging people. When women take part in beauty contests for top prizes, they encourage people to value them for their beauty alone. It is unfair to say that beauty alone determines one' s worth.

　　Beauty contests not only encourage spectators (觀眾) to judge women by their appearance, but they encourage this idea in the contestants as well. These young women spend months losing weight to be the "right" size and learning how to dress, wear makeup, and walk just right so that some judges will consider them beautiful. I think it' s great for a woman to feel good about her appearance, but looks shouldn' t be sought after in an extreme or unreasonable way. There are too many other, more important, things in a young woman' s life: learning, developing friendships and preparing for their future work and perhaps a family.

　　As long as there are beauty contests, women won' t be fully recognized as well-rounded human beings.

　　64. According to the text, women have tried to change their image by

　　[ A ] proving they are as good as men[ B ] paying attention to their clothes

　　[C]winning more beauty contests

　　[D] encouraging people to value their beauty

　　65. What do women usually do in preparation for beauty contests?

　　[A] Learn about their personality. [B] Do everything for their bodies.

　　[C] Choose the right size dresses. [D] Develop friendship with spectators.

　　66. What can we infer from the text?

　　[A] Looks determine everything.[ B ] Wisdom carries much weight.

　　[C] Spectators should have their voices heard.

　　[D] Qualities other than looks are more important.

　　67. According to the author, beauty contests are

　　[A] disrespectful to women [B] unpleasant to contestants

　　[C]necessary for modem society [ D ] helpful in improving women' s image

　　Text 4

　　It is late at night and you are still awake. Should you take a sleeping pill(藥片) ? People who take medicine often come to depend on it. So you lie awake knowing that the new work day will soon arrive. If this happens to you for at least one month, you may have insomnia, or sleeping problems, at an early stage. There are millions of you...us...around the world.

　　A new study led by Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School has found that you might fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer if you try "cerebral hypothermia", which just means cooling down your brain. They examined twelve people who had insomnia and twelve others who had no sleep problems. Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their heads at bed time.

　　The caps had tubes(軟管) inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. As other studies showed that people who had trouble sleeping often had more chemical reactions (反應(yīng)) in the front of their brains, there searchers thought lowering the temperature of the brain might help.

　　For the first two nights of testing, the patients wore no water caps. During the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.

　　The researchers found that the water caps did not help the insomnia patients until the temperature was about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.

　　68. People might suffer from an early stage of insomnia if they

　　[ A ] become dependent on drugs

　　[ B ] need to take medicine before sleep

　　[ C ] stay up late worrying about their jobs

　　[ D ] have difficulty falling asleep over a month

　　69. How can people' s sleeping be improved according to the study?

　　[ A ] Control the brain temperature.

　　[ B ] Put plastic caps on at the fight time.

　　[ C ] Wear caps made of proper materials.

　　[ D ] Limit the cups of water taken in each day.

　　70. How many days did the researchers test insomnia patients?

　　[ A ] Two days. [ B ] Four days. [ C ] Six days. [ D ] Eight days.

　　71. What might be the best title for the text?

　　[ A ] How Researchers Discovered a New Use of Water[ B ] How Cooling the Brain May Help People Sleep

　　[ C ] What People Need for a Good Night' s Sleep[ D ] What Happens in the Human Brain at Night

　　Text 5

　　Eating Etiquette

　　What should you do or not do when you are eating in Britain?

　　The British generally pay a lot of attention to good table manners (舉止). Even young children are expected to eat properly with knives and forks.

　　We eat most of our food with cutlery. The foods we don' t eat with a knife, fork or spoon include sandwiches and fruit.

　　Things you should do:

　　If you cannot eat a certain type of food or have some special needs, tell your host several days before the dinner party.

　　If you are a guest, it is polite to wait until your host starts eating or invites you to do so. It shows consideration.

　　Always chew(咀嚼) and swallow (吞咽) all the food in your mouth before taking more or taking a drink.

　　Always say thank you when served something. It shows your gratefulness.

　　You may eat things like chicken with your fingers if you are having a picnic with friends or in very informal settings. Otherwise always use a knife and fork.

　　When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Eating it whole shows poor taste. On formal dining occasions (場合) it is good manners to take some butter from the butter dish with your bread knife and put it on your side plate. Then butter pieces of the roll using this butter. This prevents the butter in the dish getting full of small pieces of bread as it is passed around.

　　In a restaurant, it is normal to pay for your food by putting your money on the plate the bill comes on.

　　72. Who will find the text most helpful?

　　[A] Host families. [B]British travelers.

　　[A] with butter [B]piece by piece

　　[C] with your fingers [D]on your side plate

　　75. The underlined word "cutlery" in the text refers to——.

　　[A] salt [B]knife, fork or spoon

　　[C] drinks [D]butter, cheese or cream

　　【知識拓展】A選項(xiàng)more or less表示數(shù)量或程度上：或多或少。例：There are fifty people，more or less.大約有五十人。相當(dāng)于“or so”。B選項(xiàng)what's more而且，相當(dāng)于“moreover”。例：Mary is very beautiful and, what's more, she is Very clever.瑪麗很漂亮，而且很聰明。c選項(xiàng)as a result作為最終結(jié)果的意思。例：He defeated all competitors and won the scho1arship as a result.他擊敗了所有的競爭者，最終贏得了獎學(xué)金。D選項(xiàng)in any case在任何情況下，無論如何。例：In any case you must arrive there on time.無論如何你必須按時到達(dá)那里。

　　28.【D】 【精析】句意：——你知道大衛(wèi)去哪兒了嗎?我到處都找不他。——他一定沒有走遠(yuǎn)，他的外套還在這兒。本題考查的對過去發(fā)生的事情的猜測。故D正確。

　　【知識拓展】needn't have done本來不需要做某事卻做了(過去的虛擬)

　　must have done一定做過某事

　　can/might/could/may have done 本可能做某事

　　couldn’t have done只能表推測，相當(dāng)于can't have done一為“過去不可能做了某事”。

　　29.【A】【精析】句意：一一我想知道為什么是湯姆而不是安被提升為總經(jīng)理。——我也是，我很驚訝安沒有獲得這份工作。本題考查的是so do I的用法。so do+人/物，主要用來說明前面目的情況也同樣適用于后面的人或物，意為“…也一樣”，它的否定結(jié)構(gòu)為neither do+人/物，根據(jù)句意應(yīng)該是肯定形式，故A正確。

　　【知識拓展】注意區(qū)分so do I和so I do的區(qū)別。

　　1.so do I的意思是“我也這么做了”。表示前面所說的情況同樣適用于后面的人或物。助動詞do也可以換成be動could, can, does, did等。結(jié)構(gòu)：so+ v.+ I/she/he/we/they。前面所述情況為否定式，則用neither，nor。

　　e.g.：He passed the exam，and so did I.他通過了考試也是。

　　否定：He didn't pass the exam，neither did I.他沒有通過考試，我也沒有。

　　2.so I do的意思是“的確是這樣”，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，加強(qiáng)語氣，后者贊同前者的話或意見，只是進(jìn)一步強(qiáng)調(diào)并重復(fù)前句所述的內(nèi)容。前后句的主語指的是同一個人或物。助動詞do可以換成be動詞，could，can，does，did等。結(jié)構(gòu)：so+ I/she/he/we/+v.。

　　30.【A】 【精析】句意：我棋下得很好，但是自從今年春天以來我就沒有時間下棋了。本題考查的是時態(tài)的用法。根據(jù)題意，棋下得好是一個常態(tài)行為，應(yīng)該用一般現(xiàn)在時，故A正確。

　　【知識拓展】A選項(xiàng)是一般現(xiàn)在時，表示經(jīng)常性、習(xí)慣性動作。例：Lily always gets up at seven o'clock.莉莉總是七點(diǎn)鐘起床。B選項(xiàng)是過去完成時，表示動作發(fā)生在過去的過去。例：when I arrived at home yesterday evening, my parents had slept.當(dāng)我昨晚回家的時候，我的父母親都已經(jīng)睡覺了。c選項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在完成時。第一種情況表示動作發(fā)生在過去，其動作所產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果對現(xiàn)在有影響。例：I have had breakfast.我已經(jīng)吃過早餐。(意思是我現(xiàn)在不餓);第二種情況表示動作發(fā)生在過去，其動作一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在乃至于將來。例：John has already lived in China for ten years.約翰已經(jīng)在中國住了十年(有可能還會繼續(xù)住下去)。D選項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時，表示動作在現(xiàn)在這個時刻正在發(fā)生。例：My mother is cooking in the kitchen.媽媽正在廚房做飯。

　　31.【c】 【精析】句意：我們能夠用成本價從一個朋友處買到這個家具。本題考查的是冠詞的用法。furniture是不可數(shù)名詞，不能用不定冠詞;friend是可數(shù)名詞，可以用不定冠詞。根據(jù)題意，故C正確。

　　【知識拓展】不定冠詞a、孤和定冠詞the。

　　不定冠詞只能修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，定冠詞可以修飾所有的名詞，起限定名詞作用。

　　例：(1)I have a dog and a cat.我有一只貓和一只狗。

　　(2) He didn't pass the exam, but he didn't want to tell his parents about the information.他沒有通過考試，但是他不想告訴他父母這個消息。

　　【知識拓展】A選項(xiàng)fit in with“適應(yīng)，與…一致”，例：Since Australia is a multicultural and unique society, it is probably hard for Chinese students to fit in with it.由于澳大利亞是一個有著多元文化的獨(dú)特社會，所以對中國學(xué)生來說或許很難適應(yīng)。B選項(xiàng)put up with“忍受，容忍”，例：You will have to put up with Tom's mindedness.你必須得忍受湯姆心不在焉的作風(fēng)。C選項(xiàng)get along with“進(jìn)展，和…和睦相處”，例：He is just one of these people who has the ability to get along with anyone.他恰好是這種人，能夠與任何人友好相處。D選項(xiàng)end up with“以…告終”，例：We will end up with some fruit.我們最后來吃點(diǎn)水果。

　　33.【D】【精析】句意：佩吉認(rèn)為學(xué)校里的其他女孩比她受歡迎得多。本題考查的是放在形容詞比較級前的修飾詞的用法。只有far才能放在形容詞的比較級前，表示程度的加深。故D正確?！局R拓展】形容詞、副詞比較級的常用修飾詞有：no，a little，

　　a bit, much, even, still, a lot, a great deal, far, by far, rather, any等。

　　(1)只用于修飾比較級的：much;still;even。

　　(2)既可以修飾比較級又可以修飾原級的：a little;a bit;rather等。

　　(3) even修飾形容詞、副詞的比較級，用來加強(qiáng)比較的語氣和程度。

　　e.g.:(1)The experiment was much easier than we had expected.這次試驗(yàn)比我們所期望的容易得多。

　　(2) If you can jump any higher,1 will give you a prize.如果你能跳得更高些，我就獎勵你。

　　(3) The room is a bit larger than that one.這個房間比那個稍大一點(diǎn)。

　　34.【C】 【精析】句意：下了兩個禮拜的雨，結(jié)果我們的假期全泡湯了。本題考查的是現(xiàn)在分詞的用法。句中是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語，completely ruining our holiday是一個現(xiàn)在分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語，ruin的邏輯主語是前一句話。也就是說It has been raining for two weeks, completely ruining our holiday.=It has been raining for two weeks and it has completely ruined our holiday.故C正確。

　　【知識拓展】現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語。

　　e.g.:(1)Their car was caught in a traffic jam, thus causing the delay.他們的車遇上交通阻塞，因而耽誤了。

　　(2) Her husband died ten years ago, leaving three children for her to look after.她丈夫十年前去世了，留下了三個需要她照顧的孩子。

　　第一次聽說真正的倫敦塔橋是在美國的亞利桑那州的哈瓦索湖城，我認(rèn)為這是一個笑話。一個非常愚蠢的笑話。我的意思是一座完美絕}的著名塔橋怎么會從倫敦被移至有半個地球之遠(yuǎn)的美國西北部的亞利桑那州——還是一個沒有什么名氣的小鎮(zhèn)，這是多么傻的一個人!追溯至1962年，哈瓦索湖城不名一文，當(dāng)時只是一個只有幾家商店，幾戶人家，根本談不上旅游的一個小鎮(zhèn)。

　　事實(shí)證明，羅伯特·麥卡洛克在這件事情上并不是我當(dāng)初所認(rèn)為的那樣——是一個花了245萬美元買下了這座擁有130年歷史的塔橋的傻子。因?yàn)楫?dāng)初的倫敦塔橋快要沉入泰晤士河，所以英國政府決定出售它。從這件事上，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)麥卡洛克是一個真正的商人，他的投資得到巨大的回報。他把哈瓦索湖城變成了亞利桑那州的一個最有吸引力的旅游景點(diǎn)之一。

　　拆卸倫敦塔橋用了9年的時間，隨后用船裝運(yùn)每一塊磚石抵達(dá)哈瓦索湖城，倫敦塔橋在那兒重新建起，工程于1971年結(jié)束。這起事件曾被國際新聞大肆報道。

　　現(xiàn)在位于哈瓦索湖城的倫敦塔橋是一個很受歡迎的旅游景點(diǎn)，在大橋的底端還有一座迷你的“英國村”，在那兒你可以買到紀(jì)念品，甚至能品嘗到地道的英國菜，你還可以度過一段懷舊的快樂時光。

　　如今，哈瓦索湖城已成為一座擁有5.6萬市民的繁華小鎮(zhèn)，每年都有250萬名游客到此旅游。尤其是每年春假期間，鎮(zhèn)中到處都是青春洋溢的年輕游客。甚至狂野女孩的MTV也在此拍攝。所有這一切都?xì)w功于這座倫敦塔橋。

　　我不了解你，但是我是一個節(jié)儉之人。但是如果法國人對埃菲爾鐵塔厭煩想出售的話，我會是第一個出錢買下它的人，從而使它在我的后花園里大發(fā)光彩。

　　56.B【精析】語義題。題干意為“在第一段中，加下劃線的單詞moron是什么意思?”。根據(jù)上下文和常識，我們知道倫敦塔橋是屬于英國的，怎么可能在美國的亞利桑那州出現(xiàn)呢，這是多么傻的一個人。故B正確。

　　57.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“為什么英國政府要出售倫敦塔橋?”。根據(jù)第二段第二句中間部分表述：英國政府因?yàn)閭惗厮虺料?，所以出售。在文中可以找到原句。故C正確。

　　58.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“1962年前哈瓦索湖城是什么樣子的?”。根據(jù)第一段的最后一句話可以得知，當(dāng)時只有幾家商店、幾戶人家，沒有旅游業(yè)。故C正確。

　　59.D 【精析】推理題。題干意為“最后一段作者試圖表現(xiàn)得—__。。根據(jù)最后一段，我們可以看出作者非常幽默，法國人不可能對菲爾鐵塔厭煩，還有個人也沒有那么多錢去購買埃菲爾鐵塔，這一切都是作者的想象和幽默。故D正確。

　　在過去的十年中，猶他州大學(xué)進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)研究表明：司機(jī)開車時，免提電話和手拿電話對司機(jī)的危害一樣大，因?yàn)榉稚⑺麄冏⒁饬Φ牟皇鞘欠袷帜檬謾C(jī)，而是電話內(nèi)容。大衛(wèi)·斯特雷耶教授說：“當(dāng)你接電話時，即使你的眼睛是看著某個物體的，但是你的注意力不在，所以你視若無睹。”“也就是說，在你接電話的99%的時間里都是不危急的，但是還有1%的時間恰好是一個孩子沖向馬路的時間。”他補(bǔ)充道。

　　斯特雷耶教授的研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)打電話時所分散的注意力遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過和乘客講話時所分散的注意力。在開車時聽收音機(jī)、音樂或者聽磁帶評書也比不上打電話時所分散的注意力，因?yàn)檫@些活動不需要像打電話那樣互動。當(dāng)然，司機(jī)集中精力開車時，也可能會錯過一些評書細(xì)節(jié)。有一些人通過訓(xùn)練能夠分出額外的注意力在一些重要的事情上——警官們就學(xué)會了邊開車邊在人群中尋找目標(biāo)。

　　猶他州大學(xué)的調(diào)查者們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一小群“超級任務(wù)者”——約占人口2.5%，這類人能夠很輕松地把注意力放在幾件事情上。

　　很多人認(rèn)為他們能在同一時間有效地做幾件事，實(shí)際上是他們的注意力在這幾件事情上快速轉(zhuǎn)換，而不是在每一件事情上能同時投入全部

　　注意力。顯然，把一些任務(wù)放在一起注意比其他方法更容易。斯特雷耶教授說：“不是所有干擾都是一樣的。”當(dāng)你的注意力在其他事情上時，也能自動地做像打掃衛(wèi)生和鍛煉這樣的事情。但是同時既做家庭作業(yè)和測試是不可能的。甚至邊講話邊看電視也是一件困難的事。“你只要試試在看足球比賽時和妻子講話，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這是不可能辦到。”斯特雷耶教授開玩笑說道。

　　60.A【精析】主旨題。題干意為“第一段主要講什么?”。從文章第一段第一句話可以看出，這是一句主題句，概述了第一段的內(nèi)容：開車打電話是有危險的。故A正確。

　　61.D【精析】推理題。題干意為“第二段中警官的例子說明什么?”。從文章第二段最后一句話“Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important--like police officers learn to search faces in crowds.”可以得知，這種能力是通過“train them-selves”獲得的。故D正確。

　　62.A【精析】推理題。題干意為“Super-taskers最適合被描述成能干什么的人?”。從文章內(nèi)容來看，在第三段“seem able to attend to more than one thing with ease”，有能力輕松地把注意力放在幾件事情上的人。故A正確。

　　63.C【精析】推理題。題干意為“在你講電話時能做哪件事?”。從文章最后一段的第四句可知，當(dāng)你的注意力在其他事情上時，也能自動地做像打掃衛(wèi)生和鍛煉這樣的事情。故C正確。

　　年輕的女性參加選美比賽使得人們一直認(rèn)為：一個女性最重要的就是外貌。

　　多年來女性一直努力工作去改變她們的形象。她們一直試圖去證明女性的價值不僅只局限于美貌。全世界開始認(rèn)同，在評價人們的時候，女性像男性那樣，通過對個性方面如聰明、智慧以及強(qiáng)大來說明這些品質(zhì)比外貌更重要。當(dāng)女性參加選美比賽爭奪冠軍時，她們鼓勵人們單從外貌去評價。而通過外貌決定一個人的價值這是不公平的。

　　選美比賽不但鼓勵觀眾以貌取人，而且還把這種觀念傳遞給了參賽者。這些年輕的參賽者們?yōu)榱诉_(dá)到評委們所說的漂亮，花數(shù)月時間去減肥，以期達(dá)到所謂的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)身材，并且學(xué)習(xí)如何穿衣、化妝、走臺步。我認(rèn)為對女性來說感覺自己長得不錯是很棒的，但并不是要用極端或不合理的方式去追求外貌美。在年輕女性的一生中有著很多的其他重要事情要做：學(xué)習(xí)、交友、為未來的工作或家庭做準(zhǔn)備。

　　只要有選美比賽存在，女性就不可能被作為一個全面發(fā)展的人來評價。

　　64.A【精析】推理題。題干意為“根據(jù)文章，女性試圖通過什么去改變她們的形象?”。由文章第二段第一句和第二句，可以推斷出女性通過證明和男性一樣通過品質(zhì)來判斷自身價值，從而來改變女性的形象。故A正確。

　　65.B【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“女性常常做什么來為選美比賽做準(zhǔn)備?”。依據(jù)第三段第二句文章所陳述的“These young women spend months losing weight to be the' right' size and learning how to dress, wear makeup, and walk just right...”，故B正確。

　　66.D【精析】推理題。題干意為“從文章我們能推理出什么?”。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，我們可以推斷出作者是不贊成選美比賽的，因?yàn)檫x美比賽都是以貌取人，而不是根據(jù)品質(zhì)評價女性。故D正確。

　　67.A【精析】推理題。題干意為“根據(jù)作者，選美比賽是____”。根據(jù)文章最后一段，作者認(rèn)為只要有選美比賽存在，女性就不可能被作為一個全面發(fā)展的人來看待。所以這是一種不尊重女性的行為，故A正確。

　　夜已深，你仍然醒著。你應(yīng)該吃一片安眠藥嗎?經(jīng)常吃安眠藥的人會逐漸依賴藥物，因此你會躺在床上夜不能寐等待著新一天的工作的到來。如果這種情況你持續(xù)至少一個月的時間的話，你可能惠上初期的失眠癥或者是睡眠障礙。在世界上有上百萬的人面臨這樣的問題。

　　匹茲堡醫(yī)學(xué)院的埃里克-諾夫辛格和丹尼爾·伯伊斯實(shí)施了一項(xiàng)新研究，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)如果你嘗試“頭部低溫療法”——降低大腦的溫度，你有可能更快速地入睡并保持長時間的睡眠。他們對12個有失眠癥和12個沒有睡眠障礙的人進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)。給他們每一個人在睡覺的時候都戴上一個柔軟的塑料帽子。

　　帽子里有注滿水的軟管。研究者們通過軟管讓水在里面流動，然后改變水的溫度。通過其他的研究表明患有失眠癥的患者在他們的大腦前部分有更多的化學(xué)反應(yīng)，所以研究者認(rèn)為降低大腦溫度對睡眠有幫助。

　　在測試開始后頭兩個晚上，病人們戴著沒有注水的帽子睡覺;在接下來的兩個晚上，病人們戴上了注水后的帽子，但水溫沒有降低;又過了兩晚上，研究者們降低了一點(diǎn)帽子里的水溫;在實(shí)驗(yàn)的最后兩個晚上，水溫被降得更低了。

　　研究者們發(fā)現(xiàn)直到水的溫度降至14℃才對那些有失眠癥的患者有幫助。絕大多數(shù)患者在最冷的水在他們頭周圍流動時，他們的睡眠速度更快且睡眠狀態(tài)更好。

　　68.D【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“人們可能患上了早期失眠癥，假如他們…”。從文章第一段倒數(shù)第二句話“If this happens to you for at least one month，you may have...”可以得知，有這種癥狀至少一個月。故D正確。

　　69.A【精析】推理題。題干意為“根據(jù)這項(xiàng)研究，人們的睡眠如何得以改善?”。由文章所提到的cerebral hypothermia(頭部低溫療法)這個實(shí)驗(yàn)推理得知。故A正確。

　　70.D【精析】推理題。題干意為“研究者們對失眠病人一共測試了多少天?”。由文章第四段，一共是分四個兩晚上進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)，也就是說一共實(shí)驗(yàn)八天。故D正確。

　　71.B【精析】推理題。題干意為“這篇文章的標(biāo)題是什么?”。根據(jù)文中的實(shí)驗(yàn)過程及結(jié)果，我們可以推出降低大腦溫度對睡眠有幫助。故B正確。

　　Text 5就餐禮儀在英國就餐時什么該做什么不該做?英國人一般比較注重餐桌禮儀，甚至是小孩子也被要求正確使用刀叉。

　　我們吃的絕大部分食物需要用餐具，但是三明治和水果我們不能使用刀又或勺子。

　　你應(yīng)該做的：

　　如果你不能吃某種食物或有一些特別需求，一定要在宴會開始的前幾天告知主人。

　　假如你去做客，讓主人先吃或等主人邀請后再吃，這是禮貌。這也是對主人的一種尊重。

　　在拿取更多的食物或喝飲料之前要咀嚼和吞咽掉你嘴里的所有食物。

　　在別人為你服務(wù)時，總是說謝謝，表明你的感激之情。

　　如果你正和一群朋友野餐或在一個不是很正式的環(huán)境下用餐，你可以用手拿著吃一些東西，像雞肉。如果是正式場合，一定要用刀叉。

　　在正式場合吃面包卷時，一定要先撕開面包后再涂黃油。把面包卷整個吃下會讓人覺得你的品位很差。

　　在正式場合，正確的禮儀是用你的面包刀從黃油碟子里取黃油，然后放在你盤子的一邊，然后用撕下的面包卷來蘸黃油。這樣避免了黃油盤子里到處都是面包屑。

　　在餐館內(nèi)，吃完飯結(jié)賬時，把錢放在盤子里是正常的。，

　　72.C【精析】推理題。題干意為“誰將會發(fā)現(xiàn)這篇文章特別有用?”。由文章來看，文章是給剛到英國，還不是很了解英國的人看的。故C正確。

　　73.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“下面哪項(xiàng)被認(rèn)為在英國是恰當(dāng)?shù)牟妥蓝Y儀?”。由第四段中“If you are a guest，it is polite to wait until your host starts eating or invites you to do so.”可知，假如你去做客，讓主人先吃或等主人邀請后再吃，這是禮貌。故C正確。

　　74.B【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“在正式場合中吃面包卷，你被建議怎么吃才禮貌?”。從文章第八段第一句“When eating bread rolls，break off a piece before buttering.”可知，吃面包卷時，應(yīng)該撕下一1片然后蘸黃油吃。故B正確。

　　75.B【精析】語義題。題于意為“文中加下劃線的單詞cutlery指什么?”。從文章第二段“We eat most of our food with cutlery. The foods we don't eat with a knife, fork or spoon including sandwiches and fruit.”可知，前后兩句是對比關(guān)系，所以得出結(jié)論cutlery是餐具的意思，故B正確。

　　I am very glad to make a speech here! I'm the chairman of the Students Union. This time, I'd like to talk about English activities this week.

　　In order to practice our oral English and know more about English culture, we make a week plan for all of us. On Tuesday, there is a lecture made by our English dean, Professor Lee. On Wednesday, there is a film named The Perfect Man, which is a comedy. On Friday, there is an oral English competition. I hope everybody can actively enter for the competition so that we can speak English more fluently.

　　We know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous

　　hard study, one day we can speak English very well.

　　That's all. Thank you for your attention!
