19．Indian's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．The charmers，who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子），used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins．
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas，as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife．There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders．
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest，"said Behar Dutt，a conservationist behind the plans，"if a policeman doesn't catch them，animal rights activists report them．"
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target for police．
The fate of Shisha Nath，56，from Badarpur，a village just outside of Delhi，is typical of practitioners （從業(yè)者） of the dying art．"I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，"he said．"Now it's hard to earn even£1a day．My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．But it's become impossible．"
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune，western India，where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge．
More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers．
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，"said Prakash Nath，who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader．

66．Snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly becauseD．
A．schools need large numbers of such teachers
B．most of them cannot support their families
C．their performances on the street are banned
D．the government plans to save the dying art
67．The purpose of the proposed"dial a snake charmer"telephone service isD．
A．to give performance of snake dancing
B．to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C．to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D．to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses
68．The word"clandestinely"in paragraph 4can be best replaced by the word"A"．
A．secretly   B．publicly   C．subconsciously   D．diligently
69．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？B
A．Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street．
B．Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers'job．
C．Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen．
D．The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers．

分析 作者描述了印度的耍蛇者被抑制為野生動(dòng)植物老師，主要目的是阻止他們特有的技能和知識(shí)失傳，

解答 66．D  67．D  68．A  69．B
 66  D   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第一段第一句"Indian's snake charmers（耍蛇者） are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．"可知印度的耍蛇者被抑制為野生動(dòng)植物老師，主要目的是阻止他們特有的技能和知識(shí)失傳，故選D．
67  D    細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段最后一句"There is also a proposal to set up a'dial a snake charmer'service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders（入侵者）．"可知建議撥打耍蛇者電話的目的是幫助戶主處理不受歡迎的入侵者，故選D．
68    A   猜測(cè)詞義題． 由第一段最后一句"until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins．"可知印度已經(jīng)頒布法令禁止耍蛇者進(jìn)行表演，由此可知第四段第一句"Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．"的意思是耍蛇者為了謀生，只能繼續(xù)從事這項(xiàng)工作，盡管被法律禁止．由此可知"clandestinely"的意思應(yīng)該是"不公開的，秘密的"，因?yàn)槿绻麄児_這么做的話就會(huì)被抓進(jìn)監(jiān)獄，所以只能秘密從事這項(xiàng)工作，故正確答案為A．
69    B   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第四段第四、五、六句"My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．"可知在印度耍蛇者的孩子也會(huì)追隨父親成為耍蛇者，由此可知這項(xiàng)工作在印度已經(jīng)成為家族事業(yè)，所以B項(xiàng)與文意不符．故正確答案為B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文，把握文章大意，對(duì)文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解，能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié)，并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)判斷．

10．For Juan Manuel Pineda，it was a long way to succeed．
His story began in El Salvador，where he was born with something wrong with his mouth．He had great difficulty in speaking．At age 2，his family's home burned down．Pineda was injured，and his legs needed to be cut．His mother died when he was 8，and he spent years on the streets before he was taken in by an orphanage（孤兒院）．

Pineda was amazed that he had come into such a good luck，after having so many years of hardship．"We have a saying in El Salvador，‘Suffer first，then enjoy．'I guess that's what's happening，"he said．

7．Sounds crazy？Fans across the UAE（阿聯(lián)酋）are so excited as Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform at a stadium in Dubai on May 4．In less than 36 hours all the tickets available were sold out．
If you have a teenager lying under your roof，it's likely that she has spent your hard-earned cash on some concert tickets．Clare Smart，a researcher on teenage development in Dubai，has some ideas about the pop phenomenon．"Justin Bieber is a teenager himself and therefore teenagers feel a connection to him，in the songs that he sings，his hairstyle and how he dresses…h(huán)e represents what many teenagers would like for themselves，such as the latest clothing trends，exciting travel and high earnings．Besides，it gives teenagers the feeling of being part of a group and a shared experience with other teenagers who have the same interest in a particular celebrity…"says Smart．
    It's easy to be sheltering as a parent and it's a good idea to talk to your teenagers about their idols，find out what they like about them and why．"You could accompany your teenagers to a concert or listen along to the latest song in the car with them，"suggests Smart．"This shows that you are interested in the things they consider to be important．"
Sometimes，however，a normal level of interest slips into an obsession （癡迷） and then it becomes a cause for concern．It is now considered a personality disorder，which is closely related to higher levels of depression，anxiety and stress．In practice，teenagers who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents．
    The good news，however，is that there is plenty that parents can do to prevent their teenagers from becoming overly obsessed with those so called celebrities．Let them know what their real life is like behind the story，and they can see these celebrities in a new angle．
46．What does the first paragraph intend to tell the reader？C
A．How expensive the concert tickets are．
B．Why teenagers love music concerts．
C．How popular Justin Bieber is．
D．What idols teenagers worship．
47．According to Clare Smart，Justin Bieber represents teenagers'A．
A．dreams           B．families         C．friendship           D．trouble
48．According to Para 2，teenagers can getCfrom worshiping an idol．
A．a(chǎn) knowledge of pop culture                   B．a(chǎn)n easier way to become famous
C．a(chǎn) sense of belonging                         D．a(chǎn) closer relationship with parents
49．What does Clare Smart tell US in Para 3？D
A．Teenagers and parents often have a tense relationship．
B．Parents always have the same interests as the teenagers．
C．Celebrity worship exist among different age groups．
D．Parents should understand and protect the teenagers．
50．If teenagers are overly obsessed with celebrities，theyB．
A．will establish a connection with their idols
B．a(chǎn)ctually suffer from a personality disorder
C．often see themselves as a particular celebrity
D．a(chǎn)lways care too much about their friends．

14．All of us exist in‘bodies'of different shapes，heights，colors and physical abilities．The main reasons for the differences are genetic，and the fact that people's bodies change as they age．However，a huge range of research indicates that there are social factors too．
Poorer people are more likely to eat‘unhealthy'foods，to smoke cigarettes and to be employed in physically difficult work or the opposite：boring，inactive employment．Moreover，their housing conditions and neighbourhoods tend to be worse．All of these factors impact upon the condition of a person's health：the physical shapes of bodies are strongly influenced by social factors．
These social factors are also closely linked to emotional wellbeing．People with low or no incomes are more likely to have mental health problems．It is not clear，however，whether poverty causes mental illness，or whether it is the other way around．For example，certain people with mental health issues may be at risk of becoming homeless，just as a person who is homeless may have an increased risk of illnesses such as depression．
There are other types of social factors too．Bodies are young or old，short or tall，big or small，weak or strong．Whether these judgments matter and whether they are positive or negative depends on the cultural and historical context．In fact，the culture of different societies promote very different valuations of body shapes．What is considered as attractive or ugly，normal or abnormal varies enormously．Currently，for example，in rich societies the idea of slimness is highly valued，but historically this was different．In most societies the ideal body shape for a woman was a‘full figure'，while in middle-aged man，a large stomach indicated that they were financially successful in life．
Sociologists are suggesting that we should not just view bodies and minds in biological terms，but also in social terms．The physical body and what we seek to do with it change over time and society．This has important implications for medicine and ideas of health．Thus，the idea of people being‘overweight'is physically related to large amounts of processed food，together with lack of exercise，and is therefore a medical issue．However，it has also become a mental health issue and social problem as a result of people coming to define this particular body shape as‘wrong'and unhealthy．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）
78．Besides social factors，what are the other two reasons for differences in bodies？Genes and aging．
79．The social factors are likely to have a great effect on people'sphysical healthandmental health．
80．Valuations of body shapes change withculture and history．
81．The"This"in the last paragraph refers toviewing bodies and minds in social terms．

4．[1]Calling a taxi is easy-you stand in the street and stretch out your hand．But have you tried to call a taxi using a mobile application （軟件）？It's not hard-you download a taxi-calling application，input your location and destination，click"calling"and wait for a taxi to pick you up．Didi taxi and Kuaidi Taxi are two of the most popular taxi apps．
[2]However，what appeals to people about the apps is not only convenience but also potential prizes．In early January，Didi announced that for each successful ride arranged over the app，both passengers and drivers get 10 yuan subsidies （補(bǔ)貼）．A few days later，Kuaidi decided to offer 10 yuan for passengers and 15 yuan for drivers per ride．

[4]"Taxi-calling apps are a new thing and we should observe them carefully，"said Liu Xiaohua，deputy director of Guangdong Transport Department．"Authorities are expected to regulate the market when they cause safety issues or market disorder．"
[5]Some cities_______．Beijing said last month that each taxi is only allowed to be linked with one taxi-calling app，China Daily reported．In Shanghai，drivers will be banned from using these apps during rush hour starting on March l．The city also decided to include these taxi apps in its own taxi-calling service platform．
