46．Where did this most popular day for couples come from？And how does it come into beings，year after year？Noel Lenski，professor of the University of Colorado，said the lovers'holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals held every year on February 15and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A．D．C
47．The first Earth Day in 1970was a raucous，radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air，clean-water，and endangered species legislation in the United States．Now，40years later，Earth Day is every day，as the saying goes．The thing is，it's also everyday-environmentalism has become a routine with greenness as much a marketing tactic as a moral pursuit．F
48．Some 242million turkeys were raised in the U．S．in 2010for slaughter，according to the U．S．Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service．Last year's birds were worth about U．S．﹩3.6billion．Before the big dinner，debunk the myths，we need to know that the first"real"U．S．Thanksgiving wasn't until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010．D
49．Father's Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother's Day，and，for the most part，dads are cool with that，experts say．Nevertheless，as traditional roles around the house gradually change，fathers are gaining more attention on their special day，at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19，2011，when the holiday will be celebrated in dozens of countries．A
50．Cookouts，fireworks，and，of course，a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big"happy birthday"-the day means summer in full swing across the United States and beyond．Besides the founders of the US，F(xiàn)ireworks，first authorized by Congress in 1777，are another legacy．More than 14，000fireworks displays light up U．S．skies each year．E．

分析 本文討論了美國(guó)的幾個(gè)節(jié)日．
A是排在母親節(jié)之后的父親節(jié)，現(xiàn)在很多國(guó)家的人都在慶祝父親節(jié)；B是開(kāi)始于戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間的母親節(jié)；C是在二月十五日慶祝的浪漫的情人節(jié)；D是開(kāi)始于十七世紀(jì)的感恩節(jié)；E是每年七月四日舉行的國(guó)慶節(jié)；F是第四十個(gè)地球日．

解答 46．C．根據(jù)46題中的Where did this most popular day for couples come from？And how does it come into beings，year after year和the lovers'holiday 可知本段討論情人節(jié)的來(lái)歷，所以答案是C，因?yàn)閂alentine's Day 是情人節(jié)．
47．F．根據(jù)47題中的The first Earth Day in 1970was a raucous，radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air，clean-water，and endangered species legislation in the United States． 可知本段討論地球日，所以答案是F，因?yàn)镕項(xiàng)的題目是Earth Day at 40．
  48．D．根據(jù)48題中的that the first"real"U．S．Thanksgiving wasn't until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010可知本段討論感恩節(jié)，所以答案是D，因?yàn)樗念}目是Thanksgiving 2010     
49．A 根據(jù)49題中的Father's Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother's Day和fathers are gaining more attention on their special day，at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19，2011．可知本段討論的是父親節(jié)而不是母親節(jié)，所以答案是A．
50．E．根據(jù)50題中的a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big"happy birthday和More than 14，000fireworks displays light up U．S．skies each year可知本段討論美國(guó)國(guó)慶日的活動(dòng)，所以答案是E，因?yàn)樗念}目是4th of July Facts：1st Fests，Number of Fireworks，More．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查閱讀配對(duì)．感恩節(jié)（Thanksgiving Day）（十一月的最后一個(gè)星期四）
11月的第四個(gè)星期四是感恩節(jié)．感恩節(jié)是美國(guó)人民獨(dú)創(chuàng)的一個(gè)古老節(jié)日，也是美國(guó)人合家歡聚的節(jié)日，因此美國(guó)人提起感恩節(jié)總是倍感親切． 感恩節(jié)的食品富有傳統(tǒng)特色．火雞是感恩節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)主菜，通常是把火雞肚子里塞上各種調(diào)料和拌好的食品，然后整只烤出，由男主人用刀切成薄片分給大家．此外，感恩節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)食品還有甜山芋、玉蜀黍、南瓜餅、紅莓苔子果醬等．

2．Bluebirds  looking  secretly  from  nest  boxes．Tadpoles  swimming  in  a  pond．Tiger swallowtails flying quickly around a butterfly bush．And over here，a class of students watching it all．A field trip to a nature center？No，it's a schoolyard．With some work on your part，it could even be your schoolyard．
Interested in building a schoolyard habitat？Here's how to get started．
Gather a Team 
Students can do a lot on their own，but you'll need adults for a project this big．Get teachers，parents，and  even  the  headmaster  interested．Don't  forget  the  maintenance（維修）staff-they know more about your school's yard than anyone else and can give you lots of help．Also，ask around your neighborhood for gardeners，naturalists，and others willing to give advice．
Map Your Site 
Which part of the schoolyard can you turn  into a habitat？Is there an unused corner of the playground？Part of a lawn or field you could let go wild？You'll need to make a map of the area showing what's  there now．Then  you  can  figure out  how you want  to  change  it．For  that，you need a plan．
Plan a Habitat 
Here's what you'll need to make your area attractive to wildlife．
Food：Plant  flowers，bushes，and  trees．These  provide  seeds，berries，leaves，flowers，and sweet  liquids．And  all  of  these  feed  birds，and  insects．You  can  also  add  some  feeders  for squirrels and birds．Where possible，stick with native plants-wild plants that grow naturally in your area．They need less care，which means less work for you．
Water：A  small pond，birdbath，or  even  a  shallow dish  of  clean water  in  the ground will attract birds．Other small animals like insects may visit as well．
Shelter：Bushes and trees make great escapes for birds．Tall grass and"weeds"are home to grasshoppers，garter  snakes，and  some  ground-nesting birds．You  can  also  add  stone  piles  and brush piles．
Places to Raise Young：Butterflies need special plants to lay their eggs on．Frogs and toads lay eggs only  in shallow water．Many birds use birdhouses； others nest  in  trees and bushes．In fact，nearly all your shelters may become homes for wild young．
Put It on Paper 
Using the map you made of your area，draw in the changes you want to make．Mark where the plants，nest boxes，and other items will go．Remember，this is a long-term plan-you don't have  to  do  everything  this  spring．Maybe  you  could  put  up  a  few  birdhouses  and  plant  some butterfly bushes now and save the trees and bushes for next year．Even a small start is a big step for wildlife．
Reach for Resources 
To make the habitat happen，you'll need lots of plants，seeds，and other supplies．You'll also need to buy or borrow tools and maybe even some heavy equipment．Now's the time to reach out for donations．Start by asking your parent-teacher organization．Then go to garden clubs，garden stores （they might give you a discount），local government agencies，and businesses．If they can't donate supplies or money，ask if they can donate workers!
The workers can help build  the habitat．You'll also need people  to help maintain  it．Some schools ask their students'families to take turns during the summer．Each family maintains  the habitat for a couple of weeks．
Build Your Design 
Now you can dig in．Set a date，and get growing!
46．What is this article mostly about？A
A．How to start a wildlife habitat．
B．Making a place where animals can hide．
C．How to gather food for a wildlife habitat．
D．Creating places for people to plant gardens．
47．The section"Plan a Habitat"is mostly aboutD．
A．finding a place to use for the habitat  
B．how to raise money for the habitat
C．finding people to work on the habitat  
D．how to attract wildlife to the habitat
48．The main purpose for creating a nature habitat at school would be toC．
A．improve the school's appearance  
B．raise money for other school projects
C．teach students more about nature  
D．convince people to work as volunteers
49．How has the author organized the article？A
A．By giving step-by-step instructions．
B．By listing both sides of an argument．
C．By telling a story，from beginning to end．

3．All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners．Other children may have manners that are not like yours．There are all kinds of manners．
Many years ago，children who had good manners were seen and not heard．They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking．Today，well-mannered children have more freedom．
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places．
Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia．Some friends ask you to eat with them．What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud"burp"（打嗝）after you finish eating．Burping would show that you liked your food．
In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say"excuse me，please．"
In many places people like to eat together．But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all．People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat．
What are manners like in an East African town？The people try not to see you．They are being polite．You may see a friend．He may not see you at all．If you are polite，you will sit down beside him．You will wait until he finishes what he is doing．Then he will talk to you．
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia．You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent．If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one．People will ask you to eat with them．And it is bad manners if you say no．
Manners are different all over the world．But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way．People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends．

28．People turn their backs on others while they eat inA．
A．some parts of Polynesia．    B．a(chǎn)n East African town．
C．Mongolia．                    D．Arabia．  
29．In an East African town，the people try not to see you．This is becauseC．
A．they are busy doing things．B．they don't want to talk with you．
C．it is good manners．        D．they are waiting for you to talk with them．
30．Which of the following statements is True？A
A．Manners are different all over the world．
B．Children with good manners are quiet．
C．You should not walk behind the tents in Arabia．
D．In Mongolia，you should say"excuse me"when you give a burp after dinner．
31．The best title of the passage should beA．
A．Different kinds of manners．
B．What are good manners？
C．Children's manners are different．
D．When you are in Rome，do as the Romans do．

20．A refrigerator of the future that tells you what to cook with your leftovers and automatically re-orders fresh food is being designed m the UK．The self-cleaning"refrigerator of the future"will automatically place supermarket home delivery orders when required and move food near its use by date to the front of the shelves．
         Researchers hope the fridge could clean itself，cut down on wasted food and offer up recipes，which could be tailored to different countries，cuisines and seasons （調(diào)味品）．With the British spending 36 million hours on extra-hour work every year，leaving little time for housework，the refrigerator could help save time during busy modern-day lives．These new developments are oh the way thanks to combined efforts between scientists at the University of Central Lancashire and online supermarket Ocado．
         The planned new qualities include the ability for refrigerators to scan their shelves to see what is in store and use this information to both plan meals and automatically place a supermarket food order．
         The smart fridge will use"nano-articulated（納米） technology"shelf surfaces，smooth to the touch．The shelf surfaces will have millions of independently controlled micro-tiles （小瓷格） which will move products which soon need to be eaten to the front of the refrigerator．Ultrasound-scanning technology built into the door will allow the refrigerator to"look through"the food on a plate before and after mealtime，meaning it can assess what type and amount of food is wasted．
         Dr Simon Somerville，an expert from the University of Central Lancashire，said．"Cookbooks are lists of food items．For this purpose the most available information that the refrigerator will have is a set of arrangements that allow a set number of ingredients（佐料） to produce a large number of quite different dishes．The key concept in the successful accomplishment of this process is accurate list tracking （跟蹤）．"
71．The smart fridge can do the following exceptB．
A．offering up recipes for dishes
B．making the food in it cleaner
C．placing a supermarket food order automatically
D．moving food near its use by date to the front of the shelves

A．a(chǎn)ssess the type and amount of the food wasted
B．show the amount of food in store
C．look for food in the refrigerator
D．decorate the refrigerator door
74．According to the last paragraph，we can conclude thatC．
A．the refrigerator can cook different dishes
B．Dr Simon Somerville are strongly against the refrigerator
C．the success of the process lies in the accurate list tracking
D．a(chǎn) well-designed cookbook is included in the refrigerator

7．首先，請(qǐng)閱讀下列關(guān)于名著的介紹：
A．Pride and Prejudice （Jane Austen）
The classic love story explores the lives of the five Bennet sisters at the turn of the 19th century in rural England．At that time women were not allowed to get their father's wealth after his death，so their mother is desperate to marry them off into wealthy families．Therefore various love stories start with the question-whether marriage is for love or for money．
B．The Red and the Black （Stendhal）
Julien has a strong desire for power and glory，and for ridding himself of his low social status as the son of a tradesman．Thus，he tries every means to achieve his goal．
The two colors，red and black，symbolize his inner struggle between being sincere and false．And this conflict in his character finally brings about his downfall．
C．Jane Eyre （Charlotte Bronte）
There is great kindness and warmth in this love story．Poor and plain as Jane Eyre is，she has a strong will，sharp wisdom and great courage．She is forced to battle against a harsh employer and a rigid social order．Yet she is never defeated．Standing on her feet，she gains her own happiness in the end．
D．Oliver Twist （Charles Dickens）
It reflects people's tragic life in Britain in the 18th century．In the story，Oliver Twist，a mild young boy，is born in the workhouse and stays there until he is made to leave．What waits for him next is the falseness of the wealthy and the depths to which poverty pushes the human spirit．
E．Gone with the wind （Margaret Mitchell）
This is an all-time best-seller by Margaret Mitchell．The story takes place during the American Civil War．It records the tragic love stories of Katie Scarlet O'Hara，a southern beauty．In the end of the story，Scarlett is left only with her Tara，a plantation which symbolizes the culture of the Old South，a place where she could ever gather her strength．
F．The Adventure of Tom Sawyer （Mark Twain）
Tom Sawyer，a naughty boy in the quiet town of St．Petersburg，unexpectedly witnesses the murder of Dr．Robinson．At first he is frightened and keeps it a secret．But at the trial of the case，he bravely exposes the real criminal．He and his friend start tracing the escaping murderer．Finally they find his dead body together with hidden treasures．

17．Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism．Their critics（批評(píng)家）seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around．Why don't they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods？After all，it's the consumer who pays．
The poor old consumer!He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products．It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap．But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods．Another equally important function is to inform．A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read．Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about．Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine，it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance，price，etc．，from an advertisement．
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements，but this claim may be seriously doubted．It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days．And what fun they often are，too!Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements．Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train？A cheerful，witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters．
We must not forget，either，that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets．The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper，or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers．Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn't forget is the"small ads．"What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community!Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns．For instance，you can find a job，buy or sell a house，announce a birth，marriage or death in what used to be called the"hatch，match and dispatch"column（欄目） but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or"agony"column．No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature．It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!

48．What is the main idea of this passage？C
A．Advertisements steal money from our pockets
B．The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements．
C．Advertisers perform a useful service to communities．
D．Advertisements are everywhere．
49．What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements？A
A．He appreciates the role of advertisements．
B．He doubts the effect of advertisements．
C．He believes what is said in advertisements．
D．He complains too many advertisements in daily life．
50．Which of the following is Not True？B
A．The personal or"agony"column makes us know more about human nature．
B．The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods．

4．Climbers at the top of Mount Everest，the world's highest peak，will now be able to make video calls and surf the Internet on their mobile phones，a Nepalese （尼泊爾的） telecom group claims．
Ncell，a branch company of Swedish phone giant TeliaSonera，said on Thursday it had set up a high-speed third-generation （3G） phone base station at an altitude of 5，200metres in the Everest region．
"Today we made the world's highest video call from Mount Everest base camp successfully．The coverage （覆蓋范圍） of the network will reach up to the peak of Mount Everest，"Ncell Nepal chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu．
The installation （安裝） will also help tens of thousands of tourists and hikers who visit the world's highest mountain every year．
Climbers who reached its 8，848-metre peak previously depended on expensive satellite phones and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007on the Chinese side of the mountain．
"This is a great milestone for mobile communications as the 3G high speed Internet will bring faster，more affordable telecommunication services from the world's tallest mountain，"said Lars Nyberg，chief executive of TeliaSonera，which owns 80percent of Ncell．
The 3G services will be fast enough to make video calls and use the Internet，said the company，which also claimed the world's lowest 3G base at 1，400metres below sea level in a mine in Europe．
Despite the installation in Mount Everest，telecom services cover less than one-third of the 28million people of Nepal，one of the poorest countries in the world．
TeliaSonera said it planned to invest $ 100million in the next year to ensure that mobile coverage increases to more than 90per cent of the Himalayan nation's population．
The 3G network on Mount Everest puts TeliaSonera ahead of state-controlled Nepal Telecom，Indian-owned United Telecom and China Mobile．
Around 3，000people have climbed to the Everest summit since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the peak in 1953．

1．Although Paris is often considered the city of romance，close to a million adults who call it home are single．Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people．The complaints（抱怨）of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as"supermarket dating．"At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list．They can look for someone who has blue eyes，brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list．
At this paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6：30 and 9：00 p．m．When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love．They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly，and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles（過(guò)道）．

2．Some children are natural-born bosses．They have a strong need to make decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow．Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，"operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine，"says his mother．"The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers（劍）．Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones．"
"Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation．It's an inheritable trait，"says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina．Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位） when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other．
Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family．Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，says family psychologist John Taylor．Children，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，"have secret feelings of weakness"and"a desire to feel safe．"It's the parents'role to provide that protection．
When a"boss child"doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family．The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends．It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways．
"I see more and more parents giving up their power，"says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years．"They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were．But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills．Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious．"
66．Bossy children like Stephen JacksonB

67．The underlined phrase"inheritable trait"in Paragraph 2 meansA

68．The study on bossy behavior implies that parentsB．
A．should give more power to their children
B．should be strict with their children
C．should not be so anxious about their children
