7.Dear Max,
Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future.Your new life is full of promise,and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully.You've already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.
Like all parents,we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.While newspapers often focus on what's wrong,in many ways the world is getting better.Health is improving.The number of poor families is decreasing.Knowledge is growing.People are connecting.Technological progress in every field means your life should be much better than ours today.
We will do our part to make this happen,not only because we love you,but also because we have a responsibility to all children in the next generation.We believe all lives have equal value.Our society has its duty to improve the lives of all those coming into this world,not just those already here.
Today,most people die from five things-heart disease,cancer,stroke,neurodegenerative and infectious diseases-and we can make faster progress on these and other problems.Once we recognize that your generation and your children's generation may not have to suffer from disease,we collectively have a responsibility to increase our investments (投資) a bit more towards the future to make this reality.Your mother and I want to do our part.Curing disease will take time.Over short periods of five or ten years,it may not seem like we're making much of a difference.But over the long term,seeds planted now will grow,and one day,you or your children will see what we can only imagine:a world without suffering from disease.
There are so many opportunities just like this.If society focuses more of its energy on these great challenges,we will leave your generation a much better world.Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas:advancing human potential (潛能) and equality.Our society must do this not only for justice or charity,but for the greatness of human progress.
Today your mother and I are devoted to spending our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges.I,Zuckerberg,will continue to serve as Facebook's CEO for many,many years to come,but these things are too important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work.
We will give away 99% of our Facebook shares-now about 45dollar billion-during our lives to advance this mission.We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these matters.But we want to do what we can,working alongside many others.
As we become parents and enter this next chapter(篇章)of our lives,we w ant to share our deep appreciation for everyone who makes this possible.We can make progress towards these opportunities only by standing on the shoulders of experts.And we can only focus on serving this community and this mission because we are surrounded by loving family,supportive friends and amazing colleagues.We hope you will have such deep and inspiring relationships in your life too.
Max,we love you and feel a great re sponsibility to leave the world a better place for you and all child ren.We wish you a life filled with the same love,hope and joy you give us.We can't wait to see what you bring to this world.

分析 本文講述了Zuckerberg 在他的女兒出生后寫一封封信,信中表達了對女兒的愛以及對她未來的無限期盼,同時他又表述了他會捐贈自己的公司股份以促進疾病治療發(fā)展的想法.

解答 65.答案 C  推理判斷題.由第一段第二句 Your new life is full ofpromise,and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully 可以推斷,新生命的出現(xiàn)意味著這封信是 Zuckerberg 的女兒出生之后,由他寫給他的女兒的.故正確答案為C.
66.答案 C 細節(jié)理解題.由第二段第三四五六句 Health is improving.Thenumber of poor families is decreasing.Knowledge is growing.People areconnecting 可知,世界在人類健康改善、貧困家庭數(shù)量減少、知識進步、人們聯(lián)系更緊密等方面變得更好,因此排除A、B、D項.由第二段最后一句 Technological progress in every field means your life should bemuch better than ours today 可知,各個領(lǐng)域的技術(shù)都在進步,C項意為"幾乎沒有領(lǐng)域的技術(shù)取得進展",不包含在世界變得更好的方式里面.故正確答案為C.
67.答案 D 細節(jié)理解題.由第四段第二三句 Once we recognize that yourgeneration and your children's generation may not have to suffer from disease,we collectively have a responsibility to increase our investments a bit moretowards the future to make this reality.Your mother and I want to do our part 可知,Zuckerberg 想增加投資是因為他想讓他的后代們不再遭受疾病的威脅.故正確答案為D.
68.答案 A 推理判斷題.由第五段第二句 If society focuses more ofits energy on these great challenges,we will leave your generation a muchbetter world 可知 Zuckerberg 對生活還是充滿了憧憬的;由第九段最后一句 We can't waitto see what you bring to this world 可知,他對后代的未來也是充滿了希望,表明他對生活的態(tài)度是積極的,向上的.故正確答案為A.
69.答案 A 推理判斷題.A項,由第四段第三句 Yourmother and I want to do our part 可知,Zuckerberg和他的妻子都想通過自己的能力為這個社會做一些貢獻,這體現(xiàn)出他們兩人鼓舞人心的精神和關(guān)系.故A項正確.B項,由第四段第五句 Overshort periods of five or ten years,it may not seem like we're making much of adifference 可知,此處信中表達的意思是疾病的克服難以在五到十年內(nèi)實現(xiàn),但是并不是說人類五年內(nèi)無法有所成就.故B項錯誤.C項,由第三段最后一句 Oursociety has its duty to improve the lives of all those coming into this world,not just those already here 可知,社會不僅對現(xiàn)在的人負責,也需要對即將來到這個世界上的人負責.故C項錯誤.D項,由第四段第一句Today,most people die from five things-heart disease,cancer,stroke,neurodegenerative and infectiousdiseases-and we canmake faster progress on these and other problems 可知,信中表述"我們"有能力在這五種疾病上做出更快的進步,但并不是說已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了更快的進步.故D項錯誤.故正確答案為A.
70.答案 D 主旨大意題.通讀全文可以發(fā)現(xiàn),Zuckerberg 在他的女兒出生后寫了這封信,信中表達了他對女兒的愛以及對她未來的無限期盼,同時他又表述了他會捐贈自己的公司股份以促進疾病治療發(fā)展的想法.由最后一段第一句 Max,we love you and feel a great responsibility to leave the worlda better place for you and all children 可以總結(jié)推斷出,這封信是為了表達他的愛以及表述他未來的行動.故正確答案為D.

2.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up,and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved,whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his parents,he is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living,he can no longer expect others to pay for his food,his clothes,and his room,but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents,he may go to prison.If,however,he works hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
51.According to the second paragraph,the writer thinks that B.
A.only children are interested in life
B.life for a child is comparatively easy
C.a(chǎn) child is always loved whatever he does
D.if much is given to a child,he must do something in return
52.After a child grows up,he D.
A.will have little time playing
B.has to be successful in finding a job
C.can still ask for help in time of trouble
D.should be able to take care of himself
53.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage A?
A.People are often satisfied with their life.
B.Life is less interesting for old people.
C.Adults are freer to do what they want to do.
D.Adults should no longer rely on others.
54.The main idea of the passage is D.
A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C.childhood is the more enjoyable time in one's life
D.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
55.The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss C.
A.examples of successful young men
B.how to build up one's position in society
C.pleasures and pains of old people
D.what to do when one has problems in life.

12.One day I was walking home along the street with my iPod on,when suddenly my headphones(耳機) were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck,saying"Just be quiet."I was being attacked,and this man's arm was gripping (緊夾) onto me!I started screaming and tried to pull him off me,but failed.He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying:"Be quiet."
My mind froze with fear.Then I heard my great-grandmother's voice in my head.She was saying:"Come on now,I know you are stronger than that!"She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自衛(wèi)) training,but I went for it-I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(脛骨)!He let go of me and I ran off.When I looked back to see if he was running after me,I saw he was running in the opposite direction.Then I ran like crazy to a nearby drugstore.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom.She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs."I am calling the police!"She cried.When we got home,two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience,I was afraid to do anything.Things slowly got better,but I still don't like anyone going near my neck.
The fear isn't totally gone-after all,the guy is still out there somewhere.But I had a new understanding of my own strength.I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker.I am stronger than I realized.

26.How did the author get rid of the man?D
A.Her great-grandmother came and helped.
B.She used all her strength to pull him off her.
C.Her loud scream scared the attacker and people came to help.
D.Her great-grandmother's words gave her the strength to defend herself.
27.After the author escaped from the man,B.
A.she called the police   B.she called her mother
C.she screamed to get more attention  D.she looked back to remember his appearance
28.What does the underlined word"sobs"in Paragraph 4probably mean?C
A.Smiles.B.Quarrels.C.Cries.D.Complaints.
29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.The accident left no influence on the author now.
B.The attack made the author more confident in a way.
C.The author suddenly remembered some self-defense moves.
D.The author was so frightened that she did nothing to fight back.
30.What might be the author's purpose of writing this passage?A
A.To share her experience and tell us that we are not as weak as we thought.
B.To warn teenagers of possible dangers on the way to school.

16.Are you smarter than your parents and grandparents?According to James Flynn,a professor at a New Zealand university,you are!Over the course of the last century,people's IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher---on average,three points higher each decade.This improvement is known as the"Flynn effect",and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge.Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment,but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity.So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test.Others have pointed to better nutrition.Babies now are born larger,healthier,and with more brain development than in the past.Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles,with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information,which improves their problem-solving skills.
Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test.Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing  better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving.For example,one part of the test shows a set of shapes,and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.
According to Flynn,this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.Every time you play a computer game,you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.So are you really smarter than your parents?In one very specific way,you may be.

31.According to the passage,the"Flynn effect"isB.
A.a(chǎn) method used to measure intelligence
B.a(chǎn)n increase in IQ test scores over time
C.the influence of technology on intelligence
D.a(chǎn) theory that connects intelligence to experience
32.What is the function of the third paragraph?C
A.To list the findings of Professor Flynn's research.
B.To provide possible explanations that disprove Flynn's ideas.
C.To outline different theories explaining the increase in IQ scores.
D.To describe how research was carried out in the measuring of intelligence.
33.According to the passage,newer educational techniques includeD.
A.exposing children to fewer tests
B.giving children clearer teaching instructions
C.getting children to memorize lots of information
D.encouraging children to find out things themselves
34.The writer believes that computer gamesC.
A.have discouraged people from taking exercise
B.have made young people become less intelligent
C.have helped improve people's visual intelligence
D.have caused young people to have poorer vocabularies
35.Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?C
A.People today are taking easier tests.
B.People today have fewer problems to solve.
C.Not all aspects of intelligence have increased.
D.The language ability of people has improved.

17.A couple had two little boys aged 8and 10who were very naughty.They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any trouble occurred in their town their sons were probably involved.
The boys'mother heard that a clergyman(牧師) in the town had been successful in educating children so she asked if he would speak with her boys.The clergyman agreed but asked to see them individually.So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning with the elder boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
