1．Below is a page adapted from About Wikipedia （維基百科） on how to take full advantage of Wikipedia．
Wikipedia is a web-based，free-content encyclopedia （百科全書） in many languages．
§Exploring Wikipedia
Many visitors come to Wikipedia to acquire knowledge，while others come to share knowledge．At this very instant，dozens of articles are being improved，and new articles are also being created．Over 3，500articles have been listed by the Wikipedia community as featured articles．Another 15，000 articles are listed as good articles．Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English．Its related projects include a dictionary，quotations，books，manuals，and scientific reference sources，and a news service．All of these are kept，updated，and managed by separate communities，and often include information and articles that can be hard to find through other common sources．
§Basic navigation in Wikipedia
Wikipedia articles are all linked，or cross-referenced．In every article，there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-depth information．Holding the mouse over a certain link will often show to where the link will lead．There are other links towards the ends of most articles，for other articles of interest，related websites and pages and so on．Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions，audio-book readings，quotations，the same article in other languages etc．
§Using Wikipedia as a research tool
Wiki articles are never considered complete and may be continually edited and improved．Over time，this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing agreement over a representation of information．Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start．Indeed，many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint； and，after a long process of discussion，debate，and argument，they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through agreement．Others may，for a while，become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time-months perhaps-to achieve better balanced coverage of their subject．
§Wikipedia vs．paper encyclopedias
Wikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias．Wikipedia has a very low"publishing"cost for adding or expanding entries and a low environmental impact in some respects，since it never needs to be printed．In addition，Wikipedia has wikilinks instead of in-line （內(nèi)嵌） explanations and its articles provide not only summaries but also plenty of details．Additionally，the editorial cycle is short．A paper encyclopedia stays the same until the next edition，while editors can update Wikipedia at any instant，around the clock，to help ensure that articles keep up with the most recent events．

46．We know from the passage that WikipediaC．
A．provides very accurate information
B．offers links to most leading media
C．covers rich resources of knowledge
D．comes available in any language
47．The underlined word"they"in the passage probably refers to"B"．
A．users
B．a(chǎn)rticles
C．editors        
D．subjects
48．The links in Wikipedia to other resources are mainly toB．
A．provide details of the same articles
B．help the users to be better informed
C．guarantee the quality of the service
D．offer basic guidance on web research
49．The passage is presented in a way ofC．
A．discussion
B．description
C．instruction      
D．summary．

分析 本文主要介紹了維基百科網(wǎng)頁：
1，維基百科是一個眾人分享知識的平臺，文章豐富，內(nèi)容以多種語言展示，題材豐富；
2，維基百科有內(nèi)嵌設(shè)置，瀏覽者點擊鏈接可以瀏覽到很多內(nèi)容；
3，維基百科是很好的學(xué)術(shù)平臺，文章一直處于被完善的狀態(tài)；
4，相對于紙媒，維基百科的優(yōu)點是低價發(fā)布，而且更新及時．

解答 46．C 判斷推理． 選項A從倒數(shù)第二段句子Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start．可知并不總是很準(zhǔn)確；選項B在倒數(shù)第三段Wikipedia articles are all linked，or cross-referenced．可知是all，不是most；選項D從第三段Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English．可知并非所有的語言．答案為C有非常豐富的知識．
47．B 上下文語意推測．由劃線詞所在的語段句子Indeed，many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint可知，是談?wù)揳rticles，故為B．
48．B 細節(jié)理解．由第四段句子there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-depth information．可知是為了提供更多的信息，故為B．
49．C 寫作手法．本文主要是說明維基百科的用途和特點以及優(yōu)勢．因此寫作的呈現(xiàn)方式是instruction．

點評 本文為說明文．考生需注意文章所說明事物的特點，用途及相對于其他事物的優(yōu)點．

3．One in three American children now live with only one parent．（33）Even though/Even ifthe traditional family of Japan is strong，divorce still went up quickly between 1980 and 1995．（34）Whatis more important is that the nature of the family is changing．In Sweden and Denmark，around half of all babies are now born to unmarried parents，and in the United Kingdom and France more than a third．
Families are getting smaller．The average Turkish family had seven members in 1970； today it has only five．And in Spain and Italy，（35）wherefamilies were always traditionally large，the birthrate was the lowest in the developed world in 1995．This fall in the birthrate is due to the fact that，as more women have careers，they are waiting longer and longer （36）to start（start） a family．The age （37）at whichthe average woman has her first baby is now 28 in Western Europe，and it is getting later．
So the nuclear family is clearly changing，but is it in danger of （38）disappearing（disappear） completely？
The truth is （39）thatit is still too early to tell．In some countries these patterns are actually reversing．In the United States，Scandinavia and the United Kingdom，the birthrate is rising once more； and in Denmark，for example，marriage is becoming more popular again．In the United States，the divorce rate in fact fell （40）by10 per cent between 1980 and 1990，and it is continuing to fall．

10．I walked up to the counter．Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head．
"Excuse me，"I said．She looked up．"You're that Clements kid，"she said．"I'm Miss Bee．Come closer and let me get a look at you．"She pushed her glasses up her nose．"I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store．"
"I'm not a thief!"I was shocked．I was seven too young to be a thief!
"From what I can see you're n ot much of anything．But I can tell you've got potential．"She went back to reading her newspaper．
"I need to get these．"I said，holding up my list．"So？Go get them．"Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door．"I'm not your servant，so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling．"
I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer．Sometimes she short-changed me．Other times she overcharged．"That can of beans is only twenty nine cents"I corrected her one afternoon．I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely，and Miss Bee had added 35 cents．She didn't seem embarrassed．She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price．

6．While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged，loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face．Of all the reasons （32）that explain their loneliness，a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one．This phenomenon is commonly known as"Empty Nest Syndrome"（空巢綜合癥）．
In order to seek （33）better（good） chances outside their countries，many young people have gone abroad，（34）leaving（leave） their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home．Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights，taking care of themselves，in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them．The fact （35）that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty （36）as they would have if they had not left their countries．Whatever the case，it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match （37）what they actually do．This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing timely response （38）for the needs of their aged parents．
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents （39）has been described （describe） as"distant parent phenomenon"，（40）which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries．Our society has not yet been well prepared for"Empty Nest Syndrome"．
The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries．Whatever the case，it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do．

13．Since my retirement from teaching music in 2001，I have spent a good deal of time （25）painting （paint） as an artist．I actually began drawing in the summer of 1995when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover （26）from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just paintings （27）that brought back memories of him．In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes much influenced by Krenkel and St．John for five years．
For some strange reason，I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again，but （28）as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time，I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth，who quickly became my favorite artist．I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be （29）the closest （close） to how I thought good watercolors should look．So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting．However，watercolors remained my first choice，and I think I did my best work there，（30）displaying （display） my paintings at a number of art shows．
It is wonderful to have some time doing （31）what/something/everything I want to do．As Confucius once said，"At seventy I can follow my heart's desire．"
