As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常規(guī))basis. As a matter of fact, we can see this at work in people of all ages. For example, on Christmas morning, children are about playing with their new toys. But their soon wears off and by January those same toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a time, however, the burden of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great excitement but are soon looking forward to .

試題分析：

1.考查名詞詞義辨析及上下文語(yǔ)境。A原則，定理；B習(xí)慣；C弱者；D權(quán)力，電力。文章開頭提出As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常規(guī))basis.（通常說(shuō)來(lái)當(dāng)各種活動(dòng)變成日常常規(guī)的時(shí)候都會(huì)讓人厭倦。）這一常見的現(xiàn)象，下文用this指代前句所表達(dá)的信息，由此判斷上述情況其實(shí)是一種定律，是在人們中經(jīng)常發(fā)生的一種狀況，故答案選A.。

2.考查形容詞辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A.驚訝的；B. 感動(dòng)的；C. 興奮的；D.滿意的。從情理可知孩子們對(duì)新玩具感到非常興奮的，會(huì)愛不釋手，選C。

3.考查名詞辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A. 自信；B. 興趣；C. 焦慮；D. 難過(guò)。從上文可知孩子們對(duì)圣誕節(jié)得到的新禮物非常激動(dòng)高興，但是根據(jù)后句內(nèi)容and by January those same toys can be found put away in the basement.可以推斷他們對(duì)以前的玩具不再熱衷，興趣索然，選B。

4.考查形容詞辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A有組織的；B彩印的；C剛收集的；D半滿的；本文主要講述的是人們的興趣經(jīng)常會(huì)變，我們總是不把事情做圓滿，不會(huì)持之以恒，集郵本只有一半郵票，小說(shuō)只寫了一部分，沒有完工。這些都是興趣轉(zhuǎn)移的情況，故答案選D

5.考查形容詞辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A.失去的；B. 過(guò)去的；C. 發(fā)展中的；D. 倒下的。上句提到收集了一半的集郵冊(cè)，只寫了一部分的小說(shuō)，這些都是興趣轉(zhuǎn)移的情況，都是逝去的興趣的見證，答案選B。

6.考查副詞辨析及語(yǔ)境串聯(lián)。A安靜地；B不耐煩的；C高興地；D擔(dān)心地。當(dāng)父母親把寵物帶回家時(shí)孩子們很高興地給寵物洗澡，梳理毛發(fā)。這說(shuō)明在新鮮事物出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，人們總是興趣濃厚。

7.考查形容詞辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。 A. 有趣的；B. 短的；C.長(zhǎng)的；D. 無(wú)聊的，枯燥的。上文講述的是人們興趣愛好的不斷轉(zhuǎn)移，而且根據(jù)下句however, the burden of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents.可以判斷孩子對(duì)寵物的興趣很快就消失了，所以是短時(shí)間內(nèi)就失去了興趣，選B。

8.考查名詞詞義辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A畢業(yè)；B獨(dú)立；C責(zé)任；D成功；這個(gè)例子仍然告訴我們年輕人的興趣也是很快就消失的。剛進(jìn)入高中時(shí)很興奮，但很快他們就厭倦了高中生活，期待著畢業(yè)了，選A。

9.考查名詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境串聯(lián)。A孩子；B學(xué)生；C成年人；D退休的人。在前面內(nèi)容作者敘述了小孩子，青年人的情況之后，從本句開始講述成年人的情況。那些抱怨開車很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間上班的人在剛剛拿到駕照的時(shí)候又是無(wú)比興奮，選C。

10.考查副詞辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A細(xì)心地；B急切地；C緊張地；D勇敢地。從情理可知?jiǎng)倓偰玫今{照的成年人非常興奮，急切地連續(xù)開車好幾個(gè)小時(shí)，慢慢地他們厭倦了開車，開車上班都有了抱怨，選B。

11.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境串聯(lián)。A要求，請(qǐng)求；B獲得；拿到；C注意到；D發(fā)現(xiàn)。在上文中作者講述了小孩子，年輕人對(duì)于剛剛開始做的事情非常期待，從情理以及上文內(nèi)容可以推測(cè)本句是指成年人在剛剛得到駕照的時(shí)候無(wú)比急切地要去開車。

12.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及上下文串聯(lián)。A需要；B學(xué)習(xí)；C開始；D計(jì)劃；從后句which they never had time to do while working.可知即將退休的老人在退休之前對(duì)退休后的生活也充滿著期待，計(jì)劃在退休之后要做很多的事情，選D。

13.考查形容詞辨析及語(yǔ)境串聯(lián)。A美妙的，偉大的；B強(qiáng)壯的；C困難的；D正確的。從情理判斷人們都是期待著美好的事情，所以老人們?cè)谕诵葜靶坌牟赜?jì)劃要去做他們?cè)谏习鄷r(shí)候沒有時(shí)間去做的事情。選A。

14.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境串聯(lián)。A失去；B選擇；C離開；D放棄。文章介紹的是人們的興趣愛好容易轉(zhuǎn)移放棄的情況，所以他們放棄高爾夫等是因?yàn)檫@些愛好和他們離開的工作一樣都變得很無(wú)聊乏味了。

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.

Because no light can get out, people can’t see black holes. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from other ones.

Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or “staff”, in an object.

Another kind of black hole is called “stellar”(星球黑洞). Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. There may be many stellar mass black holes in Earth’s galaxy. Earth’s galaxy is called the Milky Way.

The largest black holes are called “supermassive”(超大質(zhì)量黑洞). These black holes have masses that are more than one million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy has a mass equal to about four million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.

Scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began. Stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it exploded part of the star into space. Scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in.

A black hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. But scientists can see how the strong gravity affects the stars and gas around the black hole. Scientists can study stars to find out if they are flying around, or orbiting a black hole.

When a black hole and a star are close together, high-energy light is made. This kind of light cannot be seen with human eyes. Scientists use satellites and telescopes in space to see the high-energy light.

1. The gravity of a black hole may become so strong that light cannot get out when ____________.

A. the star is going to die

B. special tools are used on it

C. other stars come close to it

D. it is seen from the space telescopes

2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. A black hole can be very tiny but extremely heavy.

B. The gravity of a black hole holds all light in its center.

C. Scientists observe high-energy light through their own eyes.

D. Some small black holes came into being as early as the universe.

3. Which can be inferred from the passage?

A. Every galaxy must have a black hole.

B. A galaxy is the center of the universe.

C. A galaxy consists of a large group of stars and planets.

D. Earth’s galaxy is called the Milky Way.

4. What does the last sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?

A. Neither the sun nor the earth is as heavy as a black hole.

B. There is only one supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

C. The supermassive black hole had existed before the Milky Way was formed.

D. There is a reason why the large black holes are called “supermassive”.

5. The last two paragraph mainly focus on the question of _________.

A. what a black hole is

B. how black holes form

C. how big black holes are

D. how scientists know about black holes

I got my first real job when l was ten．My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a cardboard - box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist．He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr．Ben's Coiffure．

The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m. to pick up rubbish.

Feeling blue about the world? “Cheer up,” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”

Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he’s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist . He views mankind as grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.

Here’s how he explains his views.

1）Shopping fuels invention

It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be.

2) Brilliant advances

One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it’s half second.

3) Let’s not kill ourselves for climate change

Mitigating(減輕) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel(化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well- meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet(止血帶) around our necks.

1.What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?

A. Weakness of human nature.

B. Concern about climate change.

C. Importance of practical thinking.

D. Optimism about human progress.

2. How does Ridley look at shopping?

A. It encourages the creation of things.

B. It results in shortage of goods.

C. It demands more fossil fuels.

D. It causes a poverty problem.

3.The candle and lamp example is used to show that__________.

A. oil lamps give off more light than candles

B. shortening working time brings about a happier life.

C. advanced technology helps to produce better candles.

D. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods.

4. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?

A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.

B. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.

C. People’s health is closely related to climate change.

D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.

5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?

A. Matt Ridley doesn’t think the world is a good place to live in.

B. Climate change won’t cause a child’s death.

C. Matt Ridley based his unique point of view on his long-term research.

D. People will have more freedom for the development of the world.

How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

There are now more than a thousand genetic tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’（老年癡呆癥）.

“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.

“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” “That’s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”

Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.

1.The first paragraph is meant to__________.

A. ask some questions

B. introduce the topic

C. satisfy readers’ curiosity

D. describe an academic fact

2.Which of the following is true of James Watson？

A. He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.

B. He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

C. He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.

D. He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease.

3.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, if a person is at a higher genetic risk, it is__________.

A. advisable not to let him know

B. impossible to hide his disease

C. better to inform him immediately

D. necessary to remove his anxiety

4.The underlined part “freak out” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.

A. break down B. drop out

C. leave off D. turn away

5.The study led by Dr. Green indicates that people__________.

prefer to hear good news

B. tend to find out the truth

C. can accept some bad news

D. have the right to be informed

Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happening. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid saved.

I was proud with what I had done. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.

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 sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自閉癥) 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 infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology 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 promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

1.What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?

A. Yawning is a form of communication.

B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.

C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.

D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.

2.According to Molly Helt, _________.

A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others

B. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans

C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not

D. yawning helps clear ears on planes

3.Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?

A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.
