11．"How call I obtain more drugs？"I cried．"I can't live without the help of drugs!''．You see，I was only 14 years of age when someone said to me，"Here，smoke this!It will make you feel good．"So that is how my habit of d rug-taking began．
Soon I felt I could not live without more and more drugs．So I found I needed more and more money to buy drugs．So I began to steal things from my family and from shops．Then in the street I pointed my gun at people，saying，"Give me your money，or I will shoot you!"
I lost all my friends．My family also said，"Get out of this house and never return here!"I then realized the truth-drugs were killing me．"Unless someone told me how to escape from the desire for drugs，I will soon be dead，"I said．
Then one day，I read in a paper，"We help drug-takers!''I decided，"I will go and see what these people think they can do for me．"So I stayed at their meeting place for seven months．But they failed．They did not take the desire for drugs from me．
Then one day，I read something in the magazine called"La Paloma"．I read how people said，"We could not escape from the desire for drugs．But now we have freedom．God gave us power to escape this desire．God gives us the power of the spirit when we believe what Jesus Christ obtained for us by dying for us．"SO I decided，"I will go to this Betel meeting place as reported in‘La Paloma'．I will see if they can help me．"
Now I found these Betel people never left me alone．Yes，someone was always there with me day and night．Then one day I cried out to God，"God，please help me!"I know God heard my cry．I found I now had power to escape the desire for drugs．
At last I am free from the desire for drugs．I have found real peace of mind．I now enjoy life and help other people to overcome their d rug problem．

分析 "我怎么得到更多的毒品呢？"我哭喊著．"沒有毒品的幫助我活不了"你知道嗎，在我只有14歲時有人對我說"來，吸這個，它會讓你感覺很好的"．"所以那就是我吸毒這個習(xí)慣的開始"．
很快我就覺得沒有越來越多的毒品我活不了．所以我發(fā)現(xiàn)我需要越來越多的錢去買毒品，因此我開始從家里和商店里面偷東西，接著在街上我用槍指著人們，說"給我你的錢，不然我就開槍．"
我失去了我的朋友，我的家人也說"從家里出去，然后永遠(yuǎn)不要回來了"．之后我才意識到一個道理--毒品正在殺死我．"如果沒有人告訴我如何擺脫毒品的欲望，我很快就會死的"，我說．
接著有一天，我在報紙上看到"我們幫助那些吸毒的人"．我決定"我將去看看這些人他們覺得能幫助我什么"．所以我呆在他們見面的地方七個月．但是他們失敗了，他們沒有成功幫我戒毒．
然后又有一天，我在一本叫做"La Paloma"的雜志上看到，我看到人們這么說"我們逃脫不了要吸毒的欲望，但是現(xiàn)在我們有自由，上帝給我們力量去逃脫這種欲望，上帝給我們這種精神力量當(dāng)我們相信耶穌為了我們而犧牲．"所以我決定"我將去"La Paloma"雜志上報道的這個Betel會所看看，我看看他們是否能幫助我"．
現(xiàn)在我發(fā)現(xiàn)這個Betel會所的人從來沒有離開過我，是的，有人為了你日夜在那．然后有一天我哭著對上帝說，"上帝，請你幫幫我"．我知道上帝聽到了我的叫喊．我發(fā)覺現(xiàn)在我有能力逃脫吸毒的欲望了．
最后我完全戒毒了，我真正發(fā)現(xiàn)了我內(nèi)心的平和．現(xiàn)在的我很享受生活并幫助其他人克服吸毒這個問題．

解答 41．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段I was 14 years of age when someone said to me，Here，smoke this!Itwill make you feel good"，可知作者對毒藥成癮是有人說服他的，故選B．
42．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段I lost all my friends．My family also said，"Get out of this houseand never return here!"可知作者意識到毒品正在殺死他是當(dāng)他的家人和朋友都拋棄他的時候，故選D．
43．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一句話I now enjoy life and help other people to overcome their drugproblem．可知作者戒毒后是幫助那些吸毒的人，而不是D選項(xiàng)說的"遠(yuǎn)離那些對毒品成癮的人"，故選D．
44．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章God gave us power to escape this desire．God gives us the power of the spirit when we believe what JesusChrist obtained for us by dying for us．可知"La Paloma"是通過把上帝的力量轉(zhuǎn)移到吸毒成癮的人身上，使他們戒毒成功的，故選D．
45．C主旨大意題．通過文章的理解，是描寫了作者吸毒成癮，在親人朋友的離棄后，通過各種方式最后戒毒成果，因此選C"作者如何戒掉吸毒"．

點(diǎn)評 本文描寫了作者對毒品成癮，以及后來通過各種方式戒毒成功，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性地找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)找出正確答案，推理判斷題和主旨大意題是要抓住關(guān)鍵語句對文章進(jìn)行理解，才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

6．Although his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly，Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it．
"There are many better ones available now．It's time to upgrade（更新）my phone．"
Li's impatience is shared by many．Shortly after the season when new products are released，many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment，even though the ones they have still work just fine．
As consumers'minds are occupied by Apple's newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle，it might be time to take a step back and ask："Do we really need the latest upgrades？"
According to Donald Norman，an American author，"planned obsolescence （淘 汰）"is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today's consumer electronics industry．
Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically，both for hardware and software，so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version．
"This is an old-time trick-they're not inventing anything new，"Norman said．"This is a wasteful system through which companies-many of them producing personal electronics-release poor-quality products simply because they know that，in six months or a year，they'll put out a new one．"
But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system，as Norman admitted，"We now want something new，something pretty，the next shiny thing．"In its most recent year，Apple's profit margin was more than 21percent．At Hewlett-Packard，the world's biggest PC maker，it was only 7percent．
Apple's annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year's MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version，even when the changes are slight．
As to Li Jijia，the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates．When they are switching to the latest equipment，he worries about feeling left out．
"Some games require better hardware to run，"said Li．"If you don't join in，you lose part of the connection to your friends．"

39．What's the author's attitude towards people's greed for new products？C
A．Supportive．
B．Optimistic．
C．Critical．
D．Unclear．
40．How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products？A
A．They make full use of the"planned obsolescence"strategy．
B．They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products．
C．They control the customers'way of thinking while shopping．
D．They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jij ia．
41．Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product？D
A．To provide customers with better service．
B．To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard．
C．To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers．
D．To make huge profits out of its business．
42．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone as a result ofB．
A．new psychology
B．peer pressure
C．life style
D．friends'expectation．

16．Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing．
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic（邏輯）behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand．Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power．"
Try this experiment．Explain how you'll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea how right now．Just start with anything，and create an explanation．For example，start with"I'll learn chess''or"I'll read an article on the mind every week．"Explain how that will help．You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan，and if you actually do this you'll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now．
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notice．You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you'll working on a big project，you'll probably have more success．
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it．That's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better．Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem，why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and  you're half-way there．
Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand．Often，they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．Writing will help bring you to an understanding．Give it a try．

41．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．A Way on How to Write
B．Increase Your Brain Power through Writing
C．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D．How to Start Your Writing

A．the increase of your brain power
B．the ability to remember
C．the development of your interest in study
D．the better understanding of a topic
43．If a writer writes something，it means that he or sheB．
A．has understood it very well
B．needs to understand it better
C．wants to remember it in his or her mind
D．is exercising his or her"explain power"

A．you are already successful
B．you still need to work hard
C．writing can help you walk half way
D．writing is important to solve problems
45．What's the main purpose of the writer writing the text？A
A．To advise readers to start their writing．

3．How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed？Did you know that THomas Edison failed 10，000 times while trying to invent the light bulb？He certainly had a"learn and do"atfitutle!He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb．So what can we learn from this？You can adopt the"fail forward"strategy too．
In reality，none of us axe failures．It's true，we will experience times of defeat，problems，and disasters，but remember，each one of us is meant to succeed in life．However，we must choose our fate．Henry David Thoreau said，"Men are born to succeed，not to fail．"
We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life．Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do．You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have．No matter how difficult things may seem，say to yourself．"I choose to be a happy and successful person．"
Why do some people get what they want and others fail？I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning，and it doesn't just happen by luck．So how do we plan for success？
It has been proven that successful people do things more differently．than unsuccessful people．They recognize the patterns of success and follow them；one of those patterns is planning．They plan what they think and do，which sets them apart．They know exactly what they desire，have an intelligent plan for getting it，and then work their plan．They know what success will cost them in terms of time，energy，and results，and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen．
56．The writer refers to Thomas Edison toB．
A．introduce his invention     B．put forward the topic of the text
C．praise the inventor        D．show the way to success
57．What Henry David Thoreau said implies thatA．
A．everyone is able to be a success
B．most people lack the confidence to succeed
C．everyone can do nothing but succeed in his life
D．no one can succeed without difficulty and suffering
58．What is stressed in Paragraph 3？D
A．You can have a happy life by chance．
B．Your thoughts destroy your happy life．
C．You are sure to experience hardship in your life．
D．Your life is controlled by your attitude and your actions．
59．The main idea of the last two paragraphs is thatA．
A．planning plays an important role in success
B．successful people differ from unsuccessful ones
C．successful people have many patterns of success
D．devoting the right resources cma help reach one's goal
60．Which of the following would match the text？D
A．All roads lead to Rome．         B．Think twice before you act．
C．No pains．no gains．         D．Failure is the mother of success．
