8．Common phrases like"no pains，no gains"give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study．It's almost as though the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear．
When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea，all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book．It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult．Just as children learn from playing，we can learn from doing，or at least from study techniques that interest us，rather than make us switch off．
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying．This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work，you are troubled by how unfair it is that you must study．
When you hate your work it's very difficult to make yourself star，or approach it with any kind of structure or enthusiasm．This can be part of a vicious cycle（惡性循環(huán)） that traps you into ineffective revision，your poor progress fuelling further annoyance．
Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and，thankfully，it's perfectly possible to work in the company of other people．We just need to learn how to deal with distractions（使人分心的事物）．
It's not necessary to avoid all company，just idle（懶散的） company．Studying in the same room as someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible．People who are bored and looking to be distracted，however，are terrible to work around．They constantly try to keep others in conversation．
It's also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities that you would rather be doing than studying．Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision．
If being around others means working in a noisy environment，a pair of headphones and some background music can block out even noisy children．They also act as a psychological barrier，so that people think twice before interrupting you．
When you're studying for a big exam，it seems like your whole life is taken up with study．Friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation（孤立）．And connecting with other people makes us happy，so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize．
51．The author might believe that the phrase"no pains，no gains"D．
A．best describes how to study well        
B．makes people treat study as a habit
C．encourages people to learn step by step     
D．is not a good inspirational phrase for study
52．Which saying about study might the author prefer？C
A．There is no royal road to learning．

D．He who is ashamed of asking is ashamed of learning．
53．Which might lead to an effective study based on this text？C
A．A correct goal．B．A good teacher．
C．A favorable interest．D．A hard task．
54．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 implies thatB．

B．one shouldn't let a video player to be his/her company
C．one should study from certain activities that he/she is interested in
D．the more time one spends in playing games，the higher marks he/she will get

A．give indication of not wanting to be interrupted
B．give up others'company at one
C．think twice before taking any action
D．force yourself to be accustomed to the environment．

分析 本文是一篇議論文，討論了像"no pains，no gains"這種諺語會讓人產(chǎn)生一種學(xué)習(xí)的過程就是一種受苦的過程的感覺．作者認為積極的話語和行為會給人帶來積極的影響，從而會產(chǎn)生良好的學(xué)習(xí)結(jié)果．

解答 51-55 D C C B A
51．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章首段Common phrases like"no pains，no gains"give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study．可以推斷作者認為這句俗語不會起到積極的激勵作用，選D．
52．C 推理判斷題．作者在文章開頭提出Common phrases like"no pains，no gains"give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study．，認為這種激勵人們學(xué)習(xí)的諺語會讓產(chǎn)生壓抑感，會認為學(xué)習(xí)是一種累人的事情，換句話說作者認為積極的語言會讓人們學(xué)習(xí)更有積極性，也會帶來更好的學(xué)習(xí)效果，故判斷答案選C．
53．C 推理判斷題．作者在文章第一段提出"no pains，no gains"這種諺語，會讓人們在潛意識里認為學(xué)習(xí)是一種累人的事情，也就是作者通過反面的例子說明自己認為積極的語言會讓人們學(xué)習(xí)更有積極性，由此判斷答案選C．
54．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第六段和第七段內(nèi)容可知在學(xué)習(xí)時候有讓人分心的同伴或者事物會影響學(xué)習(xí)效果，故答案選B．
55．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容They also act as a psychological barrier，so that people think twice before interrupting you．可知當(dāng)在嘈雜的環(huán)境中學(xué)習(xí)的時候，帶上耳機是一個不錯的選擇，這樣人們在想打擾時會三思，由此推斷A選項正確．

點評 本篇閱讀理解為議論文，難度適中．學(xué)生在做題時需整體閱讀，然后帶著問題找答案．尤其注意第一段以及每段的第一句話，快速抓住大意．

16．A family in Guelph，Ontario is spending a year living"in 1982"．They're doing it so their kids can see what life was like before technology like iPads，computers and even coffee machines was part of everyday life．
They have stopped using all technology from their home and are relying on the things people would have used back in the 80s．There is a box at the front door where people can put their cell phones in，while they're visiting the family．
Blair McMillan and his wife Morgan want their kids-Trey，5，and Denton，2-to have a year without technology．
Instead of reading e-readers，they are reading books．Instead of using a GPS，they used paper maps．The home the family is living in was built in the 1980s．Even the way they dress and style their hair is from the 80s．
The whole idea started when young Trey was called to come outside．He didn't because he was busy playing on the ipad．That's why his dad thought of the idea of living"in 1982"for a year．The family plans to live like"it's 1982"until April next year．To them，one of the hardest things was giving up their cell phone．

3．Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home．
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals．Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week．You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health．
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2，3and 4of the transport system．Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential．Zones 3and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area．It is very convenient to travel in London by underground．
Meal Plans Available
?Continental Breakfast
?Breakfast and Dinner
?Breakfast，Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast．Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice，cereal （谷物類食品），bread and tea or coffee．Cheese，fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England．Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert，fruit and coffee．
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit，you must first ask your host's permission．You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy．
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room．This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student．However，it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much．

70．The passage is probably written forD．
A．hosts willing to receive foreign students
B．foreigners hoping to know British culture
C．travelers planning to visit families in London
D．English learners applying to live in English homes
71．Which of the following will the host provide？A
A．Room cleaning．   B．Medical care．
C．Free transport．  D．Physical training．
72．According to the passage，what does Continental Breakfast include？C
A．Dessert and coffee．
B．Fruit and vegetables．
C．Bread and fruit juice．
D．Cereal and cold meat．
73．Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation？D
A．To experience a warmer family atmosphere．
B．To enrich their knowledge of English．
C．To entertain friends as they like．
D．To enjoy much more freedom．

13．A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days，according to a survey about socialising，conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world．Wherever you live，a typical night out is spent eating burgers，seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars．Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere．
Differences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing．Most people surveyed felt that it was‘perfectly normal'for groups of young women to go out alone，that it was‘equally acceptable'for young women to smoke and drink，and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together．For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents'．
Interestingly，however，most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with．Overall，only 10 per cent thought that parents treat their sons and daughters equally，and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!
Important national differences appear，however，when it comes to time-keeping．In the Far East and Eastern Europe a night out starts---and finishes---much earlier：there seven o'clock was the average time for meeting up with friends．For many Southern European and South Americans，on the other hand，an evening out doesn't even start until ten or eleven o'clock，by which time many of their South Korean or Japanese counterparts are safely home in bed!
Parents'rules reflect this．Most Japanese parents expect their teenagers home by ten o'clock or even earlier，whereas in Europe it is more likely to be eleven or twelve o'clock．The most surprising findings came from Argentina，however，where it is apparently quite normal for 15 and 16-year-olds to stay out all night．But then perhaps this is because their parents have less to worry about---80 percent of Argentine youngsters claimed that they rarely or never drink alcohol!

66．Night out in Tokyo is similar to it in Milan becauseC．
A．English-language activities are highly welcomed
B．they are experiencing the different globalized-culture
C．American culture is very popular all around the world
D．a(chǎn)ll the young people have the same habits and hobbies
67．One of the biggest differences between young people and their parents lies inB
A．the music style and stars they loved
B．their attitude towards paying money for dinner
C．the decreasing number of young women smoking
D．the time they meet up with people and have evening out
68．In the last paragraph，"this"refers toC．
A．evening out      B．drinking alcohol     C．time-keeping D．staying up late
69．What is the passage mainly talking about？B
A．The same night-out life in all the modern cities．
B．The similarities and differences in social behaviors．
C．Comparing night life between the east and the west．
D．Parents'different rules between their sons and daughters．

20．Imagine you're at a party full of strangers．You're nervous．Who are these people？How do you start a conversation？Fortunately，you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's name tag．The chips send back names，jobs，hobbies，and the time available for meeting-whatever．Making new friends becomes simple．
This hasn't quite happened in real life．But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology．
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product，under your pet's skin，even under your own skin．Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it．The energy comes from the reader，a scanning device，that sends out energy （for example，radio waves） that starts up the tag immediately．
Such a tag carries information specific to that object，and the data can be updated．Already，RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport．Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records．At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP （very important person） section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm．
Take a step back：10or 12years ago，you would have heard about the coming age of computing．One example always seemed to surface：Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk．The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler．
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon．"The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices，connected wirelessly，"predicts Dr．J．Reich．Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology．It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags，they say．We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it．And how many beers．Accompanied by how many biscuits．
When Marconi invented radio，he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication，not for pop music．Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future．Here's a wild guess：Not for buying milk．

74．The article is intended toD．
A．warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B．explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C．convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D．predict the applications of RFID technology
75．We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags，peopleA．
A．will have no trouble getting data about others
B．will have more energy for conversation
C．will have more time to make friends
D．won't feel shy at parties any longer
76．Why are some people worried about RFID technology？C．
A．Because children will be tracked by strangers．
B．Because market competition will become more fierce．
C．Because their private lives will be greatly affected．
D．Because customers will be forced to buy more products．
77．The last paragraph implies that RFID technologyB．
A．will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B．will be widely used，including for buying milk
C．will be limited to communication uses
D．will probably be used for pop music．

18．There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way people behave．Moreover，it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of entertainment，whether it is a television，a video tape or a DVD．Therefore，the effects of the visual（可視的） media cannot be ignored．
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them persuade people to buy certain products．Television advertising is widespread and nowadays，even movie theaters permit advertisements．Another way TV or movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted （歪曲） one，depending on what type of program they watch．Those who watch news and educational programs can learn many new things while those who watch entertainments shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks．It may make them dissatisfied with their own lives．Finally perhaps the most easily influenced viewers are children，who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies．
With the ever-increasing popularity（普及） of video entertainment，society must pay attention to these effects．Television and movies，while entertaining and informative（信息的）cannot take the place of experiences．

A．make people live better                   B．make people feel pleased
C．make people change their way of life      D．make people live worse
51．The writer believes thatC．
A．people may take no notice of the effects of the visual media
B．people must pay attention to the effects of the video media

A．Those who watch news and educational program can earn a lot of money．
B．Most people possess great wealth and good looks．
C．People buy products when they are persuaded by TV advertising．
D．Never believe advertisements on TV or in movie theater．
