11.A good reader becomes sooner or later a good book buyer.The sooner,the better.The reading done in a book drawn from a library can not be so pleasant at the moment nor so  permanently useful as the reading done in our own copy.
    A book which is worth reading is likely to be read more than once,and at each reading some idea or some statement makes such an impression that we wish to refer to it again. Some readers underline the page as they read,but I find that a page which I have underlined can not give me so many fresh impressions as one which has no marks on it.My habit is to make my own index(索引)of a book as I read.I put down the number of the page and a word or two to identify the thought or the fact which I get from it.On a second or third reading I am likely to double or triple the size of this index.This is my substitute for underlining.Most of the books in my library are so indexed that I can find quickly the passage which from time to time I wish to look up.
    To use a book in this way,organizing it for continued usefulness year after year,we  must,of course,do our reading in a copy which belongs to us.The books I buy are chiefly   those of less expensive editions.
    As I have grown older and the number of books on my shelves has increased,I appre-ciate editions which do not take much room.By careful and continuous selection I keep my  librarv down to ten thousand books.This would be,of course,too large a number for any but a professional scholar or writer.But my advice to a book lover is to weed but his library  at least once every two years,giving away the books which are not likely to be read again.And never never buy a book which you will not immediately read.A library bought only for looks is not literature,but indoor decoration.
61.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the first paragraph?
A
A.Reading your own book benefits you more than reading a copy from a library.
B.Reading a book at home is more pleasant and useful than doing it in a library.
C.Reading a book in a library is more pleasant and useful than doing it at home.
D.A book drawn from a library cannot take as much time as your own copy.
62.What is the disadvantage of underlining according to the author?C
A.Underlined books look old and not worth reading.
B.The lines make it difficult for the reader to concentrate.
C.Underlined books cannot give the reader enough fresh impressions.
D.The reader cannot find the passage he or she wishes to read again.
63.What would the author's index look like after a third reading?B
A.It contains the number of the page and a word or two.
B.It contains the number of the page and 3 to 6 words.
C.It numbers the page,the paragraph and the lines.
D.It fills the cover of the book with numbers and words.
64.Which of the following books would the author most probably like to keep?D
A.Big expensive good books.   
B.Thin and cheap books.
C.Books with lots of pictures.   
D.Good books in cheap,thin editions.
65.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.The writer has read only some of the books in his library.
B.The writer is a professional scholar or writer.
C.The writer has never given away any books in his library.
D.The writer's library is indoor decoration rather than literature.

分析 本文是一篇關于讀書買書的文章,作者通過如何做索引,買什么樣的書給我們介紹了關于書籍的知識.

解答 ACBDB
61A猜測語句題.根據(jù)文章第一 段A good reader becomes sooner or later a good book buyer. 可知從圖書館借的書不如買的書帶來的樂趣和用處多,最后會成為圖書購買者,故選A.
62C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二 段I find that a page which I have underlined can not give me so many fresh impressions as one which has no marks on it. 可知被劃線的書籍不能給予我們新鮮的印象,故選C.
63B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二 段I put down the number of the page and a word or two to identify the thought or the fact which I get from it. 可知作者在做索引的時候回記下頁碼并且一到兩個單詞,但是一本書至少讀三遍,所以是3到6個單詞,故選B.
64D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三 段The books I buy are chiefly   those of less expensive editions. 可知作者買的書籍既簡單又不貴,故選D.
65B推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第最后一 段This would be,of course,too large a number for any but a professional scholar or writer. 可知作者買了很多書籍因此是一個學者或者作家,故選B.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

2.It seems hard to watch someone yawn(打哈欠) and not to yawn ourselves.Even reading about yawning can make you do it.Now,a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn,the study suggests,is a form of social connection.Kids don't develop this behavior until around age four,the study found.Autistic(患自閉癥的)children are less likely to catch yawns.In the most serious cases,they never do.Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly.The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
"Emotional(情緒的) effect seems to be a born thing that connects us together,"said Molly Helt,a graduate student at the University of Connecticut."Yawning may be part of that."Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane.She repeatedly yawned at him,hoping he would yawn back.He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don't do it might mean they're really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,"she said."The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others',"she added."Autistic people never seem to understand that."
Like infectious (有感染力的)laughter and crying,scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection.Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

12.According to the passage,which of the following statements is True?B.
A.It is hard to yawn when you see others yawn.
B.Yawning is a form of communication.
C.Autistic children are more likely to catch yawns.
D.Yawning too much does harm to people's health.
13.In her study,Molly Helt has found thatB.
A.people get inspired when they yawn
B.yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
C.people only communicate with others by yawning when they are young
D.yawning helps clear ears on planes
14.From the passage,we can know thatD.
A.it is strange to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B.some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C.a(chǎn)utistic children yawn easily when others yawn.
D.yawning can be used to test children's development.
15.From the the last paragraph,it can be inferred thatD.
A.yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying
B.it is impolite to yawn on some social occasions
C.yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection
D.yawning can make people feel relaxed.

19.I  learned a  long  time ago  that hair has meanings-plenty of meanings.Growing up  in  the 1960s,my friends and I struggled with out parents'control over the length and style of our hair.
At  the  time,hair  represented  our  need  to  break  free  from  adults  in  our  lives.Long  hair represented our freed inner selves.
My clients are often surprised when I asked them questions about their hairstyle-why they choose it,how else they've worn their hair,how they feel about it,and so on.However,while it may  seem  to  be  a  simple  topic,even  today  our  hairstyles  still  have many  psychological  and emotional meanings.Understanding some of those meanings can lead to understanding of many different aspects of a person's mind.How we view our hair,for example,can show something about how we view ourselves.
Our  hair  can  show  physical  and  emotional wellbeing,desirability,and  even  social  and financial  status.When  it  becomes  dull  or  fragile,it  can  communicate  emotional  and  physical diseases.But hair can also show unrecognized and often unspoken daydreams about oneself and one's world.One woman-a successful professional-wore her long hair in a thick bun(發(fā)髻).
But  one  day  she  showed me  that  tangled(纏結的) hair was kept  in  the bun.She  said  that  she never brushed out the tangles because the hair showed her secret image of herself as a helpless,disturbed woman,like Ophelia in the play Hamlet.
Another woman came to therapy in a huge shirt and huge pants that she believed they could hide the weight she had put on since the birth of her child.She talked about how much she hated her  body  and  how  helpless  she  felt  about  doing  anything  about  it.But  her  hair  was  always beautifully  coloured  and  decorated.When  I  pointed  out  that  she  seemed  to  have  a  different relationship with her hair  from she did with her body,she said  that her hair had been  thinning 
and  that she was  trying  to make  it  look as good as she  could.I pointed out  that what she was doing  with  her  hair  and  her  body  was  kind  of  contradictory,and  wondered  if  she  had  any thoughts about that.
She was surprised.But as we talked about her contradictory attitudes towards different parts of her physical self,we began to open up all sorts of other thoughts and ideas about her inner self.
And interestingly,as we continued opening those internal doors,changes started to happen.She started eating differently and exercising  regularly.One day some months  later,she appeared  in my  office  in  skinny  jeans  and  a  tight  sweater,and  her  hair was  pulled  back  in  a  ponytail."I decided to see what would happen if I stopped trying to hide myself,"she said with a big smile.
"And…?"I  asked."People  keep  smiling  at  me  in  the  street.My  husband  hugged  me  this morning for the first time in ages.And I feel good!"
Besides,selfrespect in both men and women can be damaged by thinning hair;they may 
feel  alone  even  though  they  are  really  not.Given  our  cultural  focus  on  physical  appearance,youth,and health,hair loss can be unpleasant for both men and women.The market is filled with hairenhancing  treatments,but  there  are  those who  have decided  to be  against  the  system  and change to the"bald is beautiful"position.But it is much harder for women to take the"bald is beautiful"approach to hair loss.We tend to try to hide it in one way or another.
But no matter what approach you use,it is important to remember that the thickness of your hair  has  nothing  to  do with  your  value  in  the world.Remember  that  you  have  nothing  to  be ashamed of if you have thinning hair.Thinning hair may not be something you can change,but it doesn't have to control how you represent the person who lives underneath it.
50.In the 1960s,long hair representedD.
A.fashion  B.honesty     C.peace      D.freedom
51.Why does the author ask clients questions about their hairstyle?B
A.Because this topic can reduce clients'pain.
B.Because the hairstyle can reflect one's inner self.
C.Because it's a simple topic to start a conversation.
D.Because this is a topic most people are interested in.
52.The author mentioned stories of two women in order toA.
A.prove her idea      
B.introduce the topic
C.make comparisons       
D.stress the importance of good hair
53.What can we know about the woman wearing her long hair in a thick bun?B
A.She had long but thinning hair.
B.She was helpless and disturbed.
C.She was too busy to brush her hair.
D.She loved the play Hamlet very much.
54.What does the author advise us to do in the last two paragraphs?A
A.Not to be affected by thinning hair.
B.To take the"bald is beautiful"position.
C.To find suitable treatments for thinning hair.
D.Not to pay too much attention to our physical appearance.

6.People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver.Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida,Nevada and California.They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road.The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars,which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August.Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.
     In September,California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state."Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car."The technology for these cars includes cameras,radar and motion sensors.The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U.S.government agency DARPA.Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.
     Cars have become much more fuel-efficient,and new electronic features are making Hondas safer,said Angie Nucci of Honda America."A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes."Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars.Thesystems help drivers,but don't replace them.Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.
"By taking out drivers,you also remove most risks of an accident,"Kendall said.He said consumers,however,may be unwilling to lose control."It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable,but it will have to prove itself first."
     Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable.He said this will happen as the technology is improved.
