4．For thousands of years，the most important two buildings in any British village have been thechurch and the pub．Traditionally，the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town，where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news．
As a result，British pubs are often old and well preserved．Many of them have become historicsites．The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called"The Old Trip to Jerusa-lem"．which dates hack to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England．
     However，British pubs are not just for kings and queens； they welcome people from all classesand parts of society．On a cold night，the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire．There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price．
     That's how things used to be．Things are beginning to change．It is said that the credit crunch（信貸緊縮 ） is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business．People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer．Recently，the UK government banned （禁止） smoking in all pubs，and that  may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs．
     This decline（衰退） is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p．m．Previously，with 11 p．m．a(chǎn)s closing time，customers would have to drink quite quickly，meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly．The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as"binge drinking"，and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities．
In order to save their businesses，pubs are trying to change with the market．British pubs now offer something for everyone．A lot of pubs used to be"Working Men's Clubs"，meaning that women could not usually enter．Today，however，women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems．Perhaps things are changing for the better after all．
64．The passage mainly tells us something aboutC
A．the long history of British pubs                   
B：the decline of British pubs
C．the past and present of British pubs                 
D．the importance of British pubs
65．Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs？B
A．The credit crunch．
B．The present closing time．
C．The ban of smoking．
D．Having no spare money．
66．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．binge drinking means drinking less beer
B．British people used to like drinking slowly
C．closing the pubs early will reduce social problems
D．British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking
67．We can see from the last paragraph that the authorA
A．holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs
B．is against the admission of too many women to the pulbs
C．thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems
D．thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need．

解答 CBDA
64．C  主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章全篇講的都是有關(guān)英國(guó)的從過去到現(xiàn)在有關(guān)"pub"的事情，故答案為C
65．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm．Previously，with 1l pm as closing time，customers would have to drink quite quickly，以前關(guān)門時(shí)間是晚上11點(diǎn)鐘，顧客們不得不快速喝酒，現(xiàn)在允許11點(diǎn)后經(jīng)營(yíng)也沒有阻止酒吧的衰落，因此選B．
66．D 推理判斷題． 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as"binge drinking"，and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities．對(duì)于英國(guó)政府出臺(tái)的這個(gè)政策可知，政府是反對(duì)酗酒的，因此用法律的手段來限制酗酒．選D

16．Parents are anxious about their children's education and should be more detached（超脫的）to allow them to develop naturally，a leading headteacher，Peter Tait，says．
Writing in Attain，the magazine of the Independent Association of Prep Schools，Mr．Tait said．"While parents are determined to do the very best for their child，they can end up doing the opposite，"He said parents need to exercise"common sense and parental nature"when it comes to raising their children．
He added，"Parents also need to have confidence in those whose job it is to look after their children's education．To do this requires a certain detachment，a willingness to trust the passage of time，focusing on whether their children are happy，challenged and purposeful and are learning the right values．If so，they will be fine"．
However，he said，some parents are changing from"sensible"and"moderate（有節(jié)制的）"people，who have faith in their schools and teachers，and are"turning into fighters ready to battle with anything and anyone on behalf of‘their'child"．"What has made some parents put their own child at the centre of the universe and never to care about the rest？"And he also blamed the obsession（強(qiáng)迫癥）over league tables for some parents'anxiety．He said，"League tables have caused too much anxiety for parents and have led to a boom in the number of tutoring agencies as parents feel they have no choice but give their children a chance"．
Mr．Tait acknowledged that being a parent has become increasingly difficult．He conclude，"While teachers may occasionally fed discouraged by over sensitive and demanding parents，they should note that this parenting lark is rather more difficult than it used to be"．

32．Why does Mr．Tait say parents should be more detached？D
A．They haven't tried their best for their children．
B．They have no common sense or parental nature．
C．It's wrong for them to care about children's education．
D．Their effort doesn't pay off．
33．What does Mr．Tail think parents should care more about？A
A．Children's mental development  B．Children's school reports．
C．Children's wide interests      D．Children's physical health．
34．Which of the following can hest replace the underlined phrase"league tables"in  Paragraph 4？C
A．Parents'obsession        B．Teachers detachment
C．Students'scores ranking  D．Faith in school and teachers
35．What's the main idea of the text？B
A．Parenting is more difficult than it was．

19．Men and women are still treated unequally in the workplace．Women continue to earn less，on average，for the same performance，and they remain underrepresented in top jobs．Research has shown that both conscious and subconscious biases （偏見） contribute to this problem．But we've discovered another，subtler source of inequality：Women often don't get what they want and deserve because they don't ask for it．In three separate studies，we found that men are more likely than women to negotiate for what they want．This can be costly for companies-and it requires management intervention．
The first study found that the starting salaries of male MBAs who had recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon were 7.6%，or almost 4，000dollars，higher on average than those of female MBAs from the same program．That's because most of the women had simply accepted the employer's initial salary offer； in fact，only 7% had attempted to negotiate．But 57% of their male counterparts-or eight times as many men as women-had asked for more．
Another study tested this gender difference in the lab．Subjects were told that they would be observed playing a word game and that they would be paid between 3dollars and 10dollars for playing．After each subject completed the task，an experimenter thanked the participant and said，"Here's 3dollars．Is 3dollars OK？"For the men，it was not OK，and they said so．Their requests for more money exceeded the women's by nine to one．
The largest of the three studies surveyed several hundred people over the Internet，asking respondents about the most recent negotiations they'd attempted or initiated and when they expected to negotiate next．The study showed that men place themselves in negotiation situations much more often than women do and regard more of their interactions as potential negotiations．
There are several reasons accounting for the phenomenon．First，women often are socialized from an early age not to promote their own interests and to focus instead on the needs of others．The messages girls receive-from parents，teachers，other children，the media，and society in general-can be so powerful that when they grow up they may not realize that they've internalized this behavior，or they may realize it but not understand how it affects their willingness to negotiate．Women tend to assume that they will be recognized and rewarded for working hard and doing a good job．Unlike men，they haven't been taught that they can ask for more．

72．According to this passage，what causes the inequality in the workplace？D
A．social bias                               
B．women's poorer working ability
C．women's worse academic background        
D．women's less negotiating
73．Which can be the result of the following survey，according to Para 4？When do you expect to negotiate next？A

74．Which of the following statements is not true？D 
A．Women accept the employer's initial salary offer willingly．
B．Men tend to ask for more money than woman．
C．Women care more about other's interest instead of themselves'．
D．Men believe that the better they work，the better they're paid．
75．What will be discussed in the following paragraph？C

9．First lady's campaign brings change
WASHINGTON （AP）-Wal-Mart（沃爾瑪） is putting special labels（標(biāo)簽）on some  products to help shoppers quickly notice healthier ones．Millions of schoolchildren are helping themselves to vegetables from salad bars in their lunchrooms，and kids'meals at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants come with a side of fruit or vegetables and a glass of low-fat milk．
These changes are taking place due to the campaign against childhood fatness，for which the first lady Michelle Obama began fighting three years ago．
Fatness has become a serious problem in the country．About one-third of U．S．children are overweight，which puts them at increased risk for any number of deadly illnesses，including high blood pressure and heart disease．
Still，Mrs．Obama faces challenge．Not everyone welcomes her effort．Some blame her for going too far and say she has no right to tell what people should and shouldn't eat．But nutrition supporters and others praise her for using her influence to help bring interests to the table．They said the first lady has raised public awareness about fatness，which will help decrease childhood fatness rates．
There is evidence of small decrease in childhood fatness rates in some parts of the country．New York reported a 5.5percent drop in fatness rates in kindergarteners through eighth-graders between the 2006-07and 2010-11school years．In Philadelphia，the drop was 4.7percent among students in grades K-12．
Fighting against children fatness is hard work，but it's well worth the effort．The first lady is planning a promotional tour．She has been talking up the campaign against childhood fatness on daytime and late-night TV shows and on the radio．She also plans discussions next week on Google and Twitter．
"We've been spending a lot of time educating and re-educating families and kids on how to eat，what to eat，"the first lady said．"We're starting to see some changes and we're starting to show some improvement．"

56．What is the purpose of the campaign started by the first lady？B
A．To call on healthy eating．
B．To reduce childhood fatness rate．
C．To show the harm caused by fatness．
D．To educate people how to avoid illness．
57．What is the first paragraph mainly about？D
A．The popularity of healthy food．
B．The importance of balanced diet．
C．Children's preference for vegetables．
D．The changes brought out by the campaign．
58．What can we learn from the passage about Mrs．Obama？C
A．She is an expert in healthy eating．
B．She has won support of the whole nation．
C．She shows great concern about childhood fatness．
D．She makes good use of media to increase her influence．

16．Your Car Is Ready for Take-off
   The flying car has been talked about for many years，but now it appears that the idea is about to become a reality．
   An international company has built a two-seater plane that，at the touch of a button，transforms into a car perfectly suitable for driving on public roads．It has been designed so that the wings fold up automatically； and it takes just 15seconds to switch between flying and driving．With its wings fully open and the propeller（螺旋槳）spinning，it can take off from any airfield．
   Flying cars are quicker than traditional ones for travelling from city to city，and they can run on ordinary fuel．Another big advantage is that they are cool，like something you would see in an action film．At the moment 9however，the flying car's wheels are illegal to leave the ground．That is not because of technical reasons or problems with the design．It is because the various road and aircraft authorities simply cannot agree on whether it is a car or a plane．
"The government and the authorities have never thought seriously about a flying car，says Alan Price，the president of the company that has developed it．"I wanted a car that could fly and drive，but it is difficult to find an organization prepared to insure the vehicle against accidents．
  Nevertheless？the company hopes to produce and deliver its first flying car soon．The company already has orders for 40of them．The majority the potential customers are older and some are retired．There have even been orders from some people who have no pilot's license．
  The flying car will cost around 200.000．"Foranairplane，that'saveryreasonableprice，butforacar，It'squiteexpensive，"explainsAlan．"Butitjustisnotpossibletomakea 10，000 flying car yet．"
  This latest means of transport will not become a mass-market item in the near future，but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel．It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway．Travel time could be reduced by more than half．
  So the next time you are told to fasten your seat belt，it may be to prepare for take-off．

60．We know from the passage that the flying carD
A．has to run on special fuelB．will replace traditional planes
C．is popular with the richD．can shift between two forms
61．The flying car is presently forbidden to take off becauseB．
A．many people think driving it not very safe
B．it's hard to decide whether it's a car or a plane
C．the government and the authorities don't accept it
D．there are still some technical problems to be solved
62．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．few people will be able to afford a flying car
B．flying cars may share the market in the future
C．traffic jams will disappear because of flying cars
D．driving a flying car doesn't require a pilot's license．

13．You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk．Do you stop to help？In a study of by-standers，it was found that some people keep on walking．
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed，"says a psychologist，"In order to take action，you have to work against them．"Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping．
●Why should I be the one？I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd．You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance．
●What if he doesn't really need my help？The fear of embarrassment is powerful； no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others．
●No one else looks concerned．We can follow the people around us，but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public．
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction，force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on，"says the psychologist．"Then retry to involve other people； you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful．Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying，'It looks like we should do something．'Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and，if not，to call for one．Once you take action，most people will follow you．"
66．According to a study of by-standers，what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk？C

14．As we grow old，we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to．Yet re-readers are everywhere around us．For certain fans，re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually．One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him，despite his having read it over 50times．
New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading．Journalist Rebacca Mead，a long-time Englishwoman in New York，first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17．Since then，she has read it again every five years．With each re-reading，it has opened up further； in each chapter of her life，it has resonated （引起共鳴） differently．Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeated reading，but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines．These kinds of books grow with us．
Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading．Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading，we are concerned with the"what"and the"why"．Second time round，we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express．As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained，returning to a book"brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers．"
It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books （if we're fond of making notes on the pages）．These texts can carry us back to a time and place，and remind us of the kind of person that we were then．We're changed not only by living experience but also by reading experience．More than the movie director，the writer calls upon our imaginations，using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature．
Re-reading a book takes up more time，but as Mead confirms，the rewards make it extremely worthwhile．
28．The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1mainly toB．
A．a(chǎn)ttract the attention of readers          
B．introduce the topic of the passage
C．provide some background information   
D．show the similarity between re-readers
29．The underlined expression"crack their spines"in Paragraph 2refers toB．
A．recite them     
B．re-read them      
C．recall them     
D．retell them
30．It can be learned from the passage thatC．
A．reading benefits people both mentally and physically
B．readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading
C．we know ourselves better through re-reading experience
D．writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do
31．The purpose of the passage is toC．
A．call on different understandings of old books
