分析 作者講述了不同國家，不同文化，會以不同的方式慶祝新年．

解答 33   D   細節(jié)題．由第二段第一句"In the US，many people attend New Year parties．"可知很多美國人參加新年晚會，故選D．
34．B   細節(jié)題．由第三段第二句"In Mexico and Venezuela，many people wear red or yellow underwear for good luck．"和第三段第三句"…in China，they wear red clothes and give children red envelopes with money in them．"可知在中國和墨西哥紅色是幸運色，故選B．
35．C  主旨題．文章主要介紹了世界各地不同的慶祝新年的方式，C項符合文意，所以C項正確．A項，文章雖然涉及不同的風俗，但文中提到的不同的風俗是慶祝新年的一部分，不是文章主要內(nèi)容，所以A項正確．B項，太片面，不是文章主要內(nèi)容，所以B項錯誤．D項，文章主要講新年慶祝，不是風俗，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為C

點評 本文是廣告布告類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

18．Though the next 5billion people who connect to the Internet will experience a better quality of life and improve society，technological advances can also"empower some terrorists"，Eric Schmidt，leader of Google，said on Tuesday．
Co-author of the recently published The New Digital Age，Schmidt explored the promise and the hidden trouble of a completely connected world．"The terrorists can get phones，too，"he said．"But terrorists will make mistakes，and it'll be possible to track them down"
He cited the Boston Marathon bombing investigation，which got quick results by broadcasting and sharing photos of the suspects．In another case，police also said the victim left his cell phone on，which allowed them to track the suspect's vehicle and arrest the suspect at last．
Jared Cohen，founder of Google Ideas and Schmidt's co-author，said，"It's going to be difficult for criminals and terrorists to operate off the Internet．When individuals that do criminal activity are using technology，the room for error goes up．"
"The biggest thing that Google and other companies can offer is the mobile device you carry，which you'll become even more dependent upon，"Schmidt predicted．"It can remember things …and make suggestions that surprise you．"
"Privacy and security are the ultimate shared responsibility between companies，government，and the people who are actually using the tools，"Cohen，The New Digital Age co-author，said．"More connectivity doesn't remove the importance of human judgment in the future．"
He predicted that parents are going to have to educate their children about online privacy and security perhaps years before having"the talk"about the sex education．
"It'll be a long time before the machines take over the world，"Schmidt said．"The main problem in society is not that the machines are taking over the world，but rather，automated machines are taking over some low-skilled jobs．"
"The answer to that，of course，is education，"he added．

71．According to the passage，The New Digital AgeC．
A．was written for children
B．is an official report from Google
C．has more than one author
D．is very popular recently
72．What can we know about the future of mobile devices according to what Schmidt said？C
A．Mobile devices will probably become more portable．
B．Mobile devices will greet you every morning．
C．Mobile devices can offer us some good advice．
D．Mobile devices can help us find information quickly．
73．Which of the following is Cohen likely to agree with？A
A．Human judgment will still be important in the future of Internet．
B．More connection to the Internet will help education develop．
C．Most people are not making the most of the Internet．
D．Children should be stopped from using the Internet too often．
74．It can be inferred form the passage thatC．
A．the development of technology is facing a great obstacle
B．criminals escape from the police taking advantage of high-tech
C．criminals making use of technology are easy to be tracked
D．criminals and terrorists seldom operate on the Internet
75．The passage is mainly toB．
A．tell readers how police can clear up a case by technology
B．show the benefits and risks of a largely-connected world
C．explain why privacy and security are important on Internet

5．Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets，John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery，human nature，and philosophy．Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education，his own studies and passion brought him much success．Additionally，his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly．
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower，middle-class family，the young John didn't attend a private school，but went to a public one．His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies．After his father's death in the early 1800s，followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺結(jié)核），he began viewing life differently．He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on．
At around the age of 16，the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor．However，his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy，especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser．He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816，entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell．Within two monthOs in 1817，Keats had written an entire volume of poetry，but was sharply criticized by a magazine．However，the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm （韻律）．
John Keats'next work was Endymion，which was published in May 1818．The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human．Following Engymion，however，he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella．During this time，John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences．He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems．His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned．However，a bout （發(fā)作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821．

31．John Keats'attitude towards life changed because ofB．
A．his early education from school           
B．the deaths of his parents
C．Edmund Spenser's poetry                
D．the criticism of a magazine
32．What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother？C
A．They read many books．
B．They had a bad childhood
C．They died of the same disease．
D．They showed strong interest in poetry
33．What do we know from the passage？B
A．Keats received little education at school．
B．Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor．
C．In 1816Keats spent two months writing a poem．
D．Endymion was about a real love story．
34．While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first，John Keats wasA．
A．determined       B．experienced    
C．knowledgeable    D．impatient
35．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Keats'family must have been very poor when he was young．
B．Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats'time．
C．It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella．
D．The poem Hyperion wasn't completed by Keats．
