Lakes,Too,Feel Global Warming
There's no doubt:In the last few decades,the average temperature on Earth has been higher than it has
been in hundreds of years.Around the world,people are starting to measure the effects of global warming一
and trying to figure out what to do about it.
Scientists recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world,and they found
that lakes are heating up.Between 1985 and 2009,satellites recorded the nighttime temperatures of the sur-
faces of 167 lakes.During those 24 years,the lakes got warmer by an average of about 0.045 degree
Celsius per year.
In some places,lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate,a
lake may warm by a full degree Celsius in just 10 years.That difference may seem small一you might not
even notice it in your bath.But in a lake,slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae（水藻）,and
algae can make the lake poisonous to fish.
The study shows that in some regions,lakes are warming faster than the air around them.This is impor-
tant because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how Earth is warming. By using
lake temperatures as well,scientists can get a better picture of global warming. The scientists say data on
lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world.
That's going to be useful,since no country is too big or too small to ignore climate change.Scientists
aren't the only ones concerned.Everyone who lives on Earth is going to be affected by the rapid warming of
the planet. Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it,especially by reducing the
amount of greenhouse（温室）gases we put into the air.
That's why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change,or UNFCCC.
Every year the convention meets,and representatives from countries around the world gather to talk about
climate change and discuss global solutions to the challenges of a warming world.UNFCCC's annual meeting will be held in Mexico this year.

第3题：
"He looks normal." That′ s what everybody says when I tell them my son was just diagnosed as autism (孤独症). They all say it without exception.
It′s true. Alejandro does look like every other 31 boy. He plays, he smiles, and he runs around with the two-year-old boy′ s boundless energy until he is too tired. He laughs when you move your fingers 32 on a sensitive part of his body. And he often plays with his toys like every other young child at his age.
But most of the time, Alejandro 33 in his own little world playing with his toys all by himself even in a group of kids and ignoring you when you talk to him loudly. At that time he′s alone, no matter how hard you try to 34 him.
My wife and I get 35 .We ask for "nose kisses" or hugs and many times he doesn′t notice us. It′s extremely anxious when your child′s face is right in front of you and he won′t admit your presence.
He regularly doesn′t eat. The food often bothers him when he puts it in his mouth. He is very small 36 his age. We are told that it′s another effect of the autism.
Because autism isn′t like some other 37 , there is no set treatment. Each child needs to be treated 38 ; what works for one probably doesn′t work for another. Try a treatment. If it doesn′t work, you have to try another39 you hopefully find something that does work.
The future is cloudy, but we will try everything we can do to reach him, because we love him and we know he′s a special little boy. And we believe with the help of love, we can 40 any difficulty.

Batteries Built by Viruses
What do chicken pox,the common cold,the flu,and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds.
Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachu- setts,scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.
Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engi-neer Angela Beicher,who first came up with the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology(MIT)in Cambridge,she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways.In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know about biology,technology and production techniques.
Beicher's team includes Paula Hammond,who helps put together the tiny batteries,and
Yet-Ming Chiang,an expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery.“We're working on things we traditionally don't associate with nature，”says Hammond.
Many batteries are already pretty small. You can hold A,C and D batteries in your hand. The coin-like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a penny. However, every year,new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before. As these devices shrink,ordinary batteries won't be small enough to fit in-side.
The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now,Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viruses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope.
How small are these battery parts?To get some idea of the size,pluck one hair from your head. Place your hair on a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is一 pretty thin,right?Although the width of each person's hair is a bit different,you could probably fit about 10 of these virus-built battery parts,side to side,across one hair. These micro-batteries may change the way we look at viruses.Which of the following is true of Belcher's battery mentioned in paragraph 6?
A: It is made of metal.
B: It is a kind of watch battery.
C: It can only be seen with a microscope.
D: It is a metallic disk with viruses inside it.答案：D解析：题干意为“根据第一段的内容来看，人们试图……”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语people , microorganisms , chicken pox , flu , various diseases , virus-related diseases , medicines作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：What do chicken pox, the com-mon cold,the flu，and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses（与vi-rus-related diseases呼应）,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds．第一段第二句提到“这些都是由病毒引起的疾病”，这说明病毒会引起疾病。第三句提到“难怪大部分人一提到病毒，首先想到的是如何躲避病毒”，这说明因为病毒会引起疾病，所以人们都想尽力避开病毒，因此C项“因为病毒会造成各种疾病所以躲避病毒”是答案。虽然选项B也提到了躲避病毒，但是选项B后半句中提到的躲避的原因是因为病毒是看不见的，这在短文中没有提到，因此选项B属于“无中生有”的干扰项。提示：备选项中只要一部分信息在短文中没有被提及，该选项也属于“无中生有”的干扰项；备选项中只要有一部分信息与短文中的相关信息不一致，则该选项陈述的信息与短文信息不一致。
题干意为“Beicher所在的小组现在在做什么？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语Belcher's team , at present , ways , mass-producing micro-batteries , virus genes作为定位线索，在第二段和第三段中找到相关句：（第二段）Not everyone runs from the tiny dis-ease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachusetts,scientists have discovered that some vi-ruses can be helpful in an unusual way.They are putting viruses to work, teachiig them to build some if the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.（第三段）Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engineer Angela Belcher,who first came up with the idea．At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in Cambridge, she and her collaborators（与Belcher's team呼应）bring together different areas of science in new ways. In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know a-bout biology, technology and production techniques．定位线索词集中出现在第三段中，该段第一句提到“病毒和电池的搭档似乎并不常见，但这对于工程师Belcher来说却并不陌生。她最先产生了这一想法”。该句中提到的“这一想法”回指上文（第二段）中提到的putting viru-ses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries，即用病毒制造世界上最小的充电电池。由此可知C项“用病毒制造电池”是答案。
题干意为“下列哪个选项的词义与第五段中shrink的词义相反？”该题属于词汇题。首先找到shrink在短文中所在的语境，并依据该语境判断出shrink的词义是“收缩”，也就是“缩小”，因此它的反义词是expand“增大，扩张”。所以答案为D。
题干意为“第六段中关于Belcher所研制的电池的陈述哪个正确？”利用题干及选项中的细节信息词/短语Belcher's battery, metal, watch battery, microscope, metallic disk作为定位线索，在第六段中找到相关句：The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now，Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viru-ses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope．定位线索词集中出现在第六段第二句中，该句意为“Belcher的电池模型是完全由病毒构成的金属圆盘，看起来就像普通的手表电池”。显然，B项“它是一种手表电池”与短文意思不一致：短文中出现的手表电池是用作比较，而不是说Belcher 的电池模型是手表电池。该句意思与D项“它是一种金属圆盘，里面有病毒”一致，因此D是答案。C项“它只能在显微镜下才能看见”，这与第六段最后一句意思不一致：第六段最后一句提到“电池里面的部件很小―小到用高倍显微镜才能看到”，这是在讲述电池部件的情况，并非说电池也需要用显微镜才能看见，因此选项D陈述的信息与短文内容不一致。 -
第5题：
Some college students drink too much alcohol at school．Many of them live on the campus．Heavy drinking has caused many problems．It can cause students to make bad choices and do dangerous things.
One college has decided to ban alcohol．It has gotten a reputation as a party school．Five students at the college have died from drinking too much alcohol．Recently,one student drank too much vodka．He slipped into a coma．The college hopes the new rule will prevent any more tragedies.
The new rule prohibits students from drinking alcohol in the dorms．The first time a student breaks the rule they will receive a warning．If they break the rule again,they will be evicted from the dorm．However,they will still have to pay for the dorm．Some students do not live on the campus．They live in houses near the campus．Those students are also banned from drinking alcohol,even if they are of legal age.
Freshmen at the college are now required to take a special course．The course is called AlcoholEdu,and lasts for two and a half hours．The students learn about the dangers of alcohol．They also take a survey to find out how much they know about alcohol．All first-year students must pass the course.
The college hopes that more information will help students make better choices．
What has the college become known for?A.It's known for its lack of heavy drinking by student
B.It's known for heavy alcohol used by student
C.It's known for its great teacher
D.It's known for its great classe答案：B解析：从第二段可知，有一所学校决定禁酒，原因是那所学校已经以酒吧多而闻名，被称作是酒吧学校。 -

Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations.Also common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day.Each country has its own special holidays,too,often to mark important events in its history.
Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like these.______(1)A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today it is celebrated in many countries一France,England,and Australia,among others.On this day,people play practical jokes.______(2)The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often get angry.Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls.Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.

Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday?If you do,then you will want to mark
March 26 on your calendar.That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.______(3)
A:They bring him back to town,put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.
B:Some of the days people celebrate,however,are less serious.
C:That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
D:Then begins the world's biggest food fight.
E:Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
F:Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.答案：D解析：the days（天，节日；复数），带有定冠词说明其上一句应该有该词出现。how-ever（然而；表示转折），说明此句与其上一句是转折关系。less serious（不那么严肃），说明其上一句应该属于正常或严肃的事情。空白处所在句子为，“学校、银行和政府机构都在这样的节日中停休。”“其中有些天又非常奇怪。”很明显应补入B项。
but（可是，但是）承上启下，转折。these jokes（这些恶作剧），说明前一句肯定有jokes（玩笑）这个词。not...laugh（不……笑），说明下一句一定会是“哭”或“生气”。文中说“这一天，人们开着戏弄人的玩笑。”“发笑的人是开玩笑的人，而被戏弄的人往往会很生气。”很明显应补入F项。
Then(然后，接着），起承上启下作用。（应注意：该词引导的是一个全倒装句，“the world's biggest food fight”是主语，“begins”是谓语）。the world's biggest food fight 中的food（食物）非常重要，说明其前一句中肯定有“食物”这类词。文中说：“每年的八月末，大卡车载着二十多万磅的西红柿进入这个小镇。”很明显应补入D项。
They（他们；指人，复数）；him（他；指人或动物）。文中说，“Killorglin城的人们上山抓了一只野山羊。”很明显应补入A项。
That（这一或那一），代词，指代前一句中的某个名词。Toothache Day（牙痛日），说明其前一句一定会有“某月某日”，才能定为（大写的）……日。空白处50的前一句：“似乎很奇怪，可是听起来比这更有趣的是2月9日。”很明显应该补入C项。 -

第8题：
True Friendship-Recognition How can we find true friendship in this often phony， temporary world？ Friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another's personality. Friends often share likes and dislikes， interests， pursuits， and passion. How can we recognize potential friendship？ Signs include a mutual desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond of some kind. Beyond that， genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern， a desire to see one another grow and develop， and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life. True friendship involves action： doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return； sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or negative criticism. True Friendship-Relationship， Trust， Accountability True friendship involves relationship. Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship. Many people say， "Oh， he's a good friend of mine，" yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend. "Friendship takes time： time to get to know each other， time to build shared memories， time to invest in each other's growth. Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives， thoughts， feelings， and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone， without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are keys to true friendship. Without them， we often feel betrayed， left out， and lonely. In true friendship， there is no backbiting， no negative thoughts ，no turning away. True friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. Friends are dependable. In true friendship， unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends. Sometimes we need to be alone.（）

第11题：
单选题Passage 2Americans don't like to lose wars. Of course,a lot depends on how you define just what a war is. There are shooting wars-the kind that test patriotism and courage-and those are the kind at which the U.S. excels. But other struggles test those qualities too. What else was the Great Depression or the space race or the construction of the railroads? If American indulge in a bit of flag-when the job is done, they earned it.Now there is a similar challenge-global warming. The steady deterioration of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. is losing. Indeed, if America is fighting at all, it's fighting on the wrong side. The U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There are vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly citespatriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a global emergency, there's far less agreement on how to fix it. Industry offers its plans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that could weaken America's growth. But let's assume that those interested parties and others will always bent the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that their needs be addressed. What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan look like-one that would leave the U.S. both environmentally safe and economically sound?Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 years. And yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes short-time profit with long-range objective and blends pragmatism with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will.I'm not saying the challenge isn't almost overwhelming,says Fred Krupp.But this is America, and America has risen to these challenges before.From the last sentence of Paragraph 2，we may learn that the survival of a country's coasts and farms，the health of its people and the stability of its economy is________.Aof utmost importance
Ba fight no one can win
Cbeyond people's imagination
Da less significant issue

Lakes,Too,Feel Global Warming
There's no doubt:In the last few decades,the average temperature on Earth has been higher than it has
been in hundreds of years.Around the world,people are starting to measure the effects of global warming一
and trying to figure out what to do about it.
Scientists recently used satellites to study the temperatures of lakes around the world,and they found
that lakes are heating up.Between 1985 and 2009,satellites recorded the nighttime temperatures of the sur-
faces of 167 lakes.During those 24 years,the lakes got warmer by an average of about 0.045 degree
Celsius per year.
In some places,lakes have been warming by as much as 0.10 degree Celsius per year. At that rate,a
lake may warm by a full degree Celsius in just 10 years.That difference may seem small一you might not
even notice it in your bath.But in a lake,slightly warmer temperatures could mean more algae（水藻）,and
algae can make the lake poisonous to fish.
The study shows that in some regions,lakes are warming faster than the air around them.This is impor-
tant because scientists often use measurements of air temperature to study how Earth is warming. By using
lake temperatures as well,scientists can get a better picture of global warming. The scientists say data on
lakes give scientists a new way to measure the impact of climate change around the world.
That's going to be useful,since no country is too big or too small to ignore climate change.Scientists
aren't the only ones concerned.Everyone who lives on Earth is going to be affected by the rapid warming of
the planet. Many world leaders believe we might be able to do something about it,especially by reducing the
amount of greenhouse（温室）gases we put into the air.
That's why the United Nations started the Framework Convention on Climate Change,or UNFCCC.
Every year the convention meets,and representatives from countries around the world gather to talk about
climate change and discuss global solutions to the challenges of a warming world.Lakes seem to be warming faster in Asia.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：由第二段可知，科学家从1985年开始记录湖水温度的，到现在还不到30年。
由第二段最后一句话可知，此判断正确。
湖水在亚洲温暖的快在文中没有信息依据。
由第三段最后一句话可知，此判断正确。
由第四段第二句话可知，科学家经常用空气温度来研究地球变暖的问题，说明他们关 注的主要焦点在于空气温度。
由第五段的内容可知，地球上的任何人都应关心全球变暖的问题。
在文中没有提及今年的UNFCCC在哪举行。第3部分：概括大意与完成句子 -

The Privileged Children
Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.Dr. Robert Coles believes that________.
A:being rich has as many advantages as being poor
B:rich children often get too little entertainment
C:rich children sometimes can't enjoy the thing they are most in need of
D:rich children aren't given enough things答案：C解析：从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担，从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游，但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误：文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误：第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀，却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处，但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过，只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
silver spoon是一个固定说法，并不真是指银子做的勺子，而是指财富，如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”，而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的，因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。 -

Batteries Built by Viruses
What do chicken pox,the common cold,the flu,and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds.
Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachu- setts,scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.
Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engi-neer Angela Beicher,who first came up with the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology(MIT)in Cambridge,she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways.In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know about biology,technology and production techniques.
Beicher's team includes Paula Hammond,who helps put together the tiny batteries,and
Yet-Ming Chiang,an expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery.“We're working on things we traditionally don't associate with nature，”says Hammond.
Many batteries are already pretty small. You can hold A,C and D batteries in your hand. The coin-like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a penny. However, every year,new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before. As these devices shrink,ordinary batteries won't be small enough to fit in-side.
The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now,Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viruses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope.
How small are these battery parts?To get some idea of the size,pluck one hair from your head. Place your hair on a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is一 pretty thin,right?Although the width of each person's hair is a bit different,you could probably fit about 10 of these virus-built battery parts,side to side,across one hair. These micro-batteries may change the way we look at viruses.How tiny is one battery part?
A: Its width is one tenth of a hair.
B: It equals the width of a hair.
C: It is as thin as a piece of paper.
D: Its width is too tiny to measure.答案：A解析：题干意为“根据第一段的内容来看，人们试图……”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语people , microorganisms , chicken pox , flu , various diseases , virus-related diseases , medicines作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：What do chicken pox, the com-mon cold,the flu，and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses（与vi-rus-related diseases呼应）,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds．第一段第二句提到“这些都是由病毒引起的疾病”，这说明病毒会引起疾病。第三句提到“难怪大部分人一提到病毒，首先想到的是如何躲避病毒”，这说明因为病毒会引起疾病，所以人们都想尽力避开病毒，因此C项“因为病毒会造成各种疾病所以躲避病毒”是答案。虽然选项B也提到了躲避病毒，但是选项B后半句中提到的躲避的原因是因为病毒是看不见的，这在短文中没有提到，因此选项B属于“无中生有”的干扰项。提示：备选项中只要一部分信息在短文中没有被提及，该选项也属于“无中生有”的干扰项；备选项中只要有一部分信息与短文中的相关信息不一致，则该选项陈述的信息与短文信息不一致。
题干意为“Beicher所在的小组现在在做什么？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语Belcher's team , at present , ways , mass-producing micro-batteries , virus genes作为定位线索，在第二段和第三段中找到相关句：（第二段）Not everyone runs from the tiny dis-ease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachusetts,scientists have discovered that some vi-ruses can be helpful in an unusual way.They are putting viruses to work, teachiig them to build some if the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.（第三段）Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engineer Angela Belcher,who first came up with the idea．At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in Cambridge, she and her collaborators（与Belcher's team呼应）bring together different areas of science in new ways. In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know a-bout biology, technology and production techniques．定位线索词集中出现在第三段中，该段第一句提到“病毒和电池的搭档似乎并不常见，但这对于工程师Belcher来说却并不陌生。她最先产生了这一想法”。该句中提到的“这一想法”回指上文（第二段）中提到的putting viru-ses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries，即用病毒制造世界上最小的充电电池。由此可知C项“用病毒制造电池”是答案。
题干意为“下列哪个选项的词义与第五段中shrink的词义相反？”该题属于词汇题。首先找到shrink在短文中所在的语境，并依据该语境判断出shrink的词义是“收缩”，也就是“缩小”，因此它的反义词是expand“增大，扩张”。所以答案为D。
题干意为“第六段中关于Belcher所研制的电池的陈述哪个正确？”利用题干及选项中的细节信息词/短语Belcher's battery, metal, watch battery, microscope, metallic disk作为定位线索，在第六段中找到相关句：The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now，Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viru-ses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope．定位线索词集中出现在第六段第二句中，该句意为“Belcher的电池模型是完全由病毒构成的金属圆盘，看起来就像普通的手表电池”。显然，B项“它是一种手表电池”与短文意思不一致：短文中出现的手表电池是用作比较，而不是说Belcher 的电池模型是手表电池。该句意思与D项“它是一种金属圆盘，里面有病毒”一致，因此D是答案。C项“它只能在显微镜下才能看见”，这与第六段最后一句意思不一致：第六段最后一句提到“电池里面的部件很小―小到用高倍显微镜才能看到”，这是在讲述电池部件的情况，并非说电池也需要用显微镜才能看见，因此选项D陈述的信息与短文内容不一致。 -

Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations. Also
common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day. Each country has its own special holidays,
too,often to mark important events in its history. Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like
these.__________(46)A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebra-
tions have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today
it is celebrated in many countries一France,England,and Australia,among others.On this day,people play
practical jokes.___________(47)The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often
get angry.Does celebrating, this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the
heads of girls. Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated
in Bunol,Spain一 Every year,in late August,big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this
little town.___________(48)For two hours,people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone
ends UP red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from
the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat._________(49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes one person gets
an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is
on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9._________(50)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday?If you do,then you will want to mark March 26 on
your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.___________（47）
A:They bring him back to town,put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.
B:Some of the days people celebrate,however,are less serious.
C:That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
D:Then begins the world's biggest food fight.
E:Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
F: Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.答案：F解析：前面介绍的是一些流行的，大家都知道的节日，空后说有些节日非常奇怪，故知空中应 填虽然有些节目被人们所庆祝，但它们不是很重要。
因空前提到了jokes，下文应填与jokes有关的话语，故选F。
前文说运来二十万镑西红柿，空后又说人们在街上互相扔西红柿，可知，是食物大战爆 发了。
从山上抓来一只野山羊干吗呢？从排除法可知只有A项符合语境，把山羊抓来当三天 的皇帝。

Semco
At 21,Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business in Brazil,Semco,which sold parts for ships.
Semler Junior worked like a madman,from 7:30 a. m.until midnight every day.One afternoon,while touring
a factory in New York,he collapsed.The doctor who treated him said,"There's nothing wrong with you.But if
you continue like this,you'll find a new home in our hospital."Semler got the message.He changed the way
he worked.In fact,he changed the ways his employees worked too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went
wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries,and he cut all the jobs he thouuht were unnecessary.like
receptionists and secretaries._______(46)"Everyone at Semco,even top managers,meets guests in
reception,does the photocopying,sends faxes,types letters and dials the phone."
He completely reorganized the office:instead of walls,they have plants at Semco,so bosses can't shut
themselves away from everyone else._________(47)As for uniforms,some people wear suits and others wear
T-shirts.
Semler says,"We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour
after hour. He doesn't even pretend to be busy.But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails
and millions of gallons of oil is about to spill into the sea,Rubin springs into action._________(48)That's
when he earns his salary.No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time."
Semco has flexible working hours;the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.The
employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year._________(49)
It sounds perfect,but does it work?The answer is in the numbers:in the last six years,Semco's revenues
have gone from $35 million to $212 million.The company has grown from 800 employees to 3,000.Why?
Semler says it's because of"peer pressure".Peer pressure makes everyone work hard for everyone else.
__________(50)In other words,Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like
adults.And they do.__________（50）
A:If somone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.
B:This saved money and brought more equality to the company.
C:And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.
D:He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.
E:Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.
F:Also,Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects,and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.答案：A解析：该空格前一句提到Semler撤销了一些非必需的工作岗位，例如秘书和接待员，而后一 句应说明这样做的好处：既经济又平等，即B选项的内容。
该段主要讲的是办公室结构的变化，例如老板和员工的办公室都是用植物隔开的，还 提到了员工的着装也比较自由，因此这里选C较为合适，即员工可以随心所欲地装饰他们自己的办公室。
该段以负责公司油泵维修的Ruhin Agater为例米作说明。该空前一句提到公司的油泵 (pump）出问题的话Rubin Agater会马上采取行动，故推测他是这方面的专家，因此该题选D。
该段第一句说明公司在工作时间方面具有灵活性，员工可以自己决定几点来上班。只 有F项的内容（允许员工使用公司的机器来做自己的项目，而且员工每年至少有三十天的假 期）和这一思路吻合。
该段前两句中提到Semler说这源自同事的压力，它让每一个员工为其他员工努力工 作。因此选A。第6部分：完形填空 -

Beyond that， genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern， a desire to see one another grow and develop， and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life. True friendship involves action： doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return； sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or negative criticism. True Friendship-Relationship， Trust， Accountability True friendship involves relationship. Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship. Many people say， "Oh， he's a good friend of mine，" yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend. "Friendship takes time： time to get to know each other， time to build shared memories， time to invest in each other's growth. Trust is essential to true friendship.

单选题Passage 2Americans don't like to lose wars. Of course,a lot depends on how you define just what a war is. There are shooting wars-the kind that test patriotism and courage-and those are the kind at which the U.S. excels. But other struggles test those qualities too. What else was the Great Depression or the space race or the construction of the railroads? If American indulge in a bit of flag-when the job is done, they earned it.Now there is a similar challenge-global warming. The steady deterioration of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. is losing. Indeed, if America is fighting at all, it's fighting on the wrong side. The U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There are vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly citespatriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and stability of its economy.The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a global emergency, there's far less agreement on how to fix it. Industry offers its plans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to native wish lists that could weaken America's growth. But let's assume that those interested parties and others will always bent the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that their needs be addressed. What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan look like-one that would leave the U.S. both environmentally safe and economically sound?Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 years. And yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes short-time profit with long-range objective and blends pragmatism with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will.I'm not saying the challenge isn't almost overwhelming,says Fred Krupp.But this is America, and America has risen to these challenges before.What is the author's attitude towards America's policies on global warming？ACritical.
BIndifferent.
CSupportive.
DCompromising.
