16．Becoming a Minimalist
I have loo many things．My bedroom is often very messy．I have shelves with dirty books I never read and CDs 1don't listen to．My drawers are filled with clothes I never wear．I was getting upset that I never had any space in my bedroom．Then I read about minimalism．Minimalism suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and get rid of （處理掉）everything else．After reading about minimalism I felt encouraged to solve my problem．
|started clearing out a lot of the things which I  didn't use．I collected bags of clothes to give to charity．I sold some of my CDs and books online．
Although  I know that I would never need these things again，I still found it very difficut to get rid of them．My brain tried to stop me from letting them go．I said lo myself?§I might need them in ihc fulure!?¨or?§won't I be sad if I lose that？?¨But the things was，I  knew I couldn't keep everything．
After getting lots of thing out of my room，I actually became quite excited to see the tidy room with some fresh space．And on organized bedroom also makes me have a clear and organized mind!The main idea behind minimalism is to cut down what you own，and by doing this you can really value the things you have，It's not easy to be a minimalist．We are often told that it is better to have more things．Advertisements try to make us believe that we will only be happy by spending more money to buy more things．Of course I'm not a perfect minimalist-I've only just started I still own a lot of things which I don't really need，but 1think this was a good start．In the future f I will be more mindful of what I buy．And I will continue to make an effort to get rid of what I don#l need．
61．What does minimalism suggest？It suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and get rid of everything else．
62．How did the writer get rid of some of her CDs and books？She sold them online．
63．How did the writer feel after getting lots of things out of her room？She felt excited．
64．Why is it hard to be a minimalist？Because we are often told that it is better to have more things．
65．What are the advantanges of being a  minimalist？It helps us to keep our rooms tidy，have a clear and organized mind，save money and really value the things we have．．

分析 本文主要講述了作者最開(kāi)始擁有很多不需要的東西，通過(guò)了解了簡(jiǎn)約主義之后，開(kāi)始慢慢的清理自己的東西，發(fā)現(xiàn)簡(jiǎn)約主義對(duì)自己的生活有著很大的幫助．

解答 61．It suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and get rid of everything else．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段minimalism suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and get rid of （處理掉）everything else可知簡(jiǎn)約主義建議你擺脫一切只保留最必要的和重要的事情．故答案為：It suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important things and get rid of everything else． 
62．She sold them online細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中第二段I sold some of my CDs and books online可知作者在網(wǎng)上賣(mài)掉了他的一些CD和書(shū)籍．故答案為：She sold them online．
63．She felt excited．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中第三段After getting lots of thing out of my room，I actually became quite excited to see the tidy room with some fresh space可知從作者的房間里拿出很多東西后，他真的很高興看到整潔的房間里有一些新鮮的空間．故答案為：She felt excited． 
64．Because we are often told that it is better to have more things． 
細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中第四段It's not easy to be a minimalist． We are often told that it is better  to have more things可知當(dāng)一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)約主義者是不容易的．我們經(jīng)常被告知有更多的東西是更好的．故答案為：Because we are often told that it is better to have more things． 
65．It helps us to keep our rooms tidy，have a clear and organized mind，save money and really value the things we have． 主旨大意題．通觀(guān)全文可知作者開(kāi)始過(guò)簡(jiǎn)約生活之后房間由之前的亂糟糟變得整潔了，思維也變得有序了，買(mǎi)的東西少了并且還能夠知道什么是對(duì)我們有價(jià)值的東西．故答案為：It helps us to keep our rooms tidy，have a clear and organized mind，save money and really value the things we have．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做題時(shí)首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結(jié)合具體的題目，找出相關(guān)信息，就可以確定正確答案．

Find Your Own Way to Learn English
There are many ways to learn English，but everyone should have his or her own way．
At first，I had many difficulties in Learning English．For example，I couldn't spell some English words，and couldn't understand what people said when they were talking fast．I often made mistakes in grammar and read very slowly．
Now I have found some ways to improve my English．I copy down the vocabulary lists for each unit and keep them in my mind．I listen to English tapes every day and I can understand mostly what people talk about．I often borrow English books and read them after class．
In my opinion，the key to learn English well is to devoteour hearts and souls to Enlish learning and have our own methods．．

5．What are you going to do today？Perhaps you'll email your friends，watch a DVD or listen to your MP3 player．It's likely that sometime soon you're going to surf the Net．Today，we take new technology for granted （視…為當(dāng)然），so you may be surprised to learn that 50% of the people in the world have still never even used a telephone!
    There is a huge gap between those who have access （訪(fǎng)問(wèn)） to new technology and those who don't．It is called the‘Digital Divide'．The truth is that fewer than 17% of the people in the world can actually use the Internet．
    To go online，you need a computer，the right software，a phone line，a modem and a subscription （訂閱費(fèi)） to an Internet service provider．These aren't cheap and a lot of people，especially in poor countries，just can't afford them．
    Then，there's the language barrier．Four-fifths of all websites are in English and many people around the world cannot even read or write in their own language，let alone （更談不上） a foreign language．If people can't read，it will be hard to teach them how to use a computer．
    The technology gap also exists simply because many people do not understand how technology can help them．They have an old-fashioned way of thinking and cannot imagine the difference that technology will make to their lives．
    Education is the key．Governments，IT industries and educational institutions （機(jī)構(gòu)） should work together to educate people and train them，and at the same time introduce local languages into computer usage．When we bridge the digital divide，then everyone will have equal opportunities and the power that technology brings．
    Facts
●Only 3.6% of nearly a billion people in Africa have Internet access．
●0.1% of these have broadband．
●Almost 70% of the people in North America have Internet access．
●Only 10% of the people in Asia have Internet access．
●Africa，parts of Asia，South America and the Middle East are the least connected．

56．What is NOT the cause of the"digital divide"？D
A．Being poor．B．Language barrier．
C．Old-fashioned way of thinking．D．Local languages．
57．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word"barrier"？A
A．difficulty            B．change          C．mistake            D．development
58．What is the most important way to bridge the"digital divide"？B
A．Giving money to the poor．        B．Education．
C．Language teaching．                   D．Technology support．
59．Why does the writer give us the"Facts"at the end of the passage？A
A．To support the topic of the passage．
B．To show the gap between America，Africa and Asia．
C．To introduce information technology to readers．
D．To show that few people in Africa have Internet access．
60．What's the best title of the passage？C．
A．New Technology                                   B．Information Gap
C．Digital Divide                                        D．Internet Service．
