12．When I was in junior high school，I was really a bad boy．My history teacher-Mr Oven criticized me a lot because I was naughty in his class．By the end of the first semester，I'd had enough of his words and had decided that I would get my revenge on him．
The opportunity arose one morning when Mr．Oven was called to the office for a certain reason．While Mr．Oven left，my company Billy and I grabbed Mr．Oven's lunch bag from under his desk．I opened his sandwich and placed a bug in between the two slices of bread．We put it back and closed it．To keep it in memory，Billy took photos of the whole process．We laughed for weeks over this．
Well，it all went south during Thanksgiving break．Billy's mother found the pictures in his room，and demanded that he should tell her where these pictures were from．Billy told his mother the whole story，and Mr．Oven was informed．Not only was I punished from school for two weeks，but also I was kicked off the football and basketball team．Before I could return to school，I had to turn in a 1000-word essay on what I did and why I did that．I really felt embarrassed every time I saw Mr．Oven in the hallway for the rest of the school year．I felt a little regret that Mr．Oven left our school the next year．

3．We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy．The story goes like this：the more consumers spend，the more money circulates in the economy，which contributes to healthy job growth and profits．Keynes，a British economist，went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy．Sounds troubling，doesn't it？
Fear not．You aren't actually hutting anyone else by saving money．Strong economic growth only comes from one place：savings．Not consumption．In fact，economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth．For example，somebody takes their money，walks into a store，and purchases goods．The store increases its revenue．
But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money？Simple：Other people are allowed to consume them．Think of it this way：When you lend out your savings，you are actually saying，"Here，I am not going to consume right now，so why don't you？"Banks simply play the middleman：they collect lots of people's savings and then lend out lots of funds．
It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building．It takes food，shelter，and entertainment for all of the workers，as well．Without savings，it is quite impossible to finance such a construction．The coordination（協(xié)調(diào)）between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth．This coordination is also why consumer lending （say，to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car） is not productive，in a strict sense．It doesn't increase the net （凈的） amount of wealth of an economy．Those savings could have been used to construct，say，factory equipment．
None of this means consumption and spending are"bad"things．They simply do not make us wealthier．Alter all，the final goal of production and savings is to consume．But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse．Or，to rephrase：the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier．Happier，perhaps．Wealthier，no．

63．What is the author's attitude towards Keynes'theory？D
A．Approving．
B．Reserved．
C．Uncertain．
D．Critical．
64．The underlined word"revenue"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toD
A．cost             
B．reputation           
C．interest         
D．income
65．The author holds the view thatD．
A．governments shall cut out banks as financial middleman
B．economic activity is equal to economic growth
C．consumer lending is the engine of economic growth
D．consumption is likely to lead to increased happiness
66．According to the author，which chart could show the effect of savings on economy？B

67．What would be the best title for this passage？D

20．Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team．It was the final quarter．The score was two to one，my son's team in the lead．Parents surrounded the playground，offering encouragement．
With less than ten seconds remaining，the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate，Mickey O'Donnel．With shouts of"Kick it!"echoing（回響）across the playground，Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted（爆發(fā)）．O'Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence．Mickey had scored all right，but in the wrong goal，ending the game in a tie．For a moment there was a total hush．You see，Mickey has Down syndrome （唐氏綜合癥） and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal．All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey．He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored．
The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，hugged my son tightly and shouted，"I scored!I scored．Everybody won!Everybody won!"For a moment I held my breath，not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched，through tears，as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致禮）salute and started chanting，"Way to go Mickey!Way to go Mickey!"Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey，joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him．
Later that night，when my daughter asked who had won，I smiled as I replied，"It was a tie．Everybody won．"

7．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
    That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies especially like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization does not pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but the impact of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts（文科） graduate．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree．"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior and a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．
67．The job market is in great need of people withC．
A．special training in special fields
B．a(chǎn) bachelor's degree in education
C．formal schooling and work experience
D．a(chǎn)n MBA degree from top universities
68．The underlined sentence in Paragrph 2 meansA．
A．a(chǎn)n MBA degree does not help in future promotion
B．MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C．people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D．most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation
69．David Birch says that he only hires liberal-arts people becauseB．
A．they will follow others'ways of solving problems
B．they can do better in bundling changing situations
C．they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields
D．they have attended special programs in management
70．The author supports the idea thatD．
A．on-the-job training is less costly in the long run
B．formal schooling is less important than job training
C．specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists
D．generalists will do better than specialists in management．

1．Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever，even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started．Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country．In fact，according to an official report on youth violence，"In our country today，the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment，but the terrible reality of violence"．Given that this is the case，why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems，drive cars，or stay physically fit？
First of all，students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable．A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult （侮辱）．For example，a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime．Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults，which in turn can lead to
violence．The problem isn't in the sandwich，but in the way students deal with the conflict．
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable，they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution （解決）：stay calm．Once the student feels calmer，he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well．Rude words，name-calling，and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire．On the other hand，soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control．
After both sides have calmed down，they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution：listening．Listening allows the two sides to understand each other．One person should describe his or her side，and the other person should listen without interrupting．Afterward，the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position．Then the two people should change roles．
Finally，students need to consider what they are hearing．This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person．It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish．For example，a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things．Students need to ask themselves questions such as these：How did this start？What do I really want？What am I afraid of？As the issue becomes clearer，the conflict often simply becomes smaller．Even if it doesn't，careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution．
There will always be conflict in schools，but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence．After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program，according to Educators for Social Responsibility，"64percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom； 75percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation； and 92percent of the students felt better about themselves"．
Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends，teachers，parents，bosses，and coworkers．In that way，conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country．
32．This article is mainly aboutD．
A．the lives of school children
B．the cause of arguments in schools
C．how to analyze youth violence
D．how to deal with school conflicts
33．From Paragraph 2we can learn thatB．
A．violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B．a(chǎn) small conflict can lead to violence
C．students tend to lose their temper easily
D．the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
34．Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5？C
A．To find out who is to blame．
B．To get ready to try new things．
C．To make clear what the real issue is．
D．To figure out how to stop the shouting match．
35．After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta，it was found thatA．
A．there was a decrease in classroom violence
B．there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C．more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
D．the teacher-student relationship greatly improved．

2．Music for Humans and Humpback Whales
As researchers conclude in Science，the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species，but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain，and is far more ancient than previously suspected．
In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology，the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music，researchers present various evidence to，show that music-making is at once an original human"business"，and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom．
The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom，and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music，rather than random sound．Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that，even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise，the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty，and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians，and human ears，everywhere．
For example，male humpback whales，who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing，use rhythms （節(jié)奏） similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length-a few seconds．Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves （八度音階），yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals，rather than moving forwards madly．They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio （比例） which agrees with that heard in much western music．They also use a favorite technique of human singers，the so-called A-B-A form，in which a theme is stated，then developed，and then returned to in slightly revised form．
Perhaps most impressive，humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme．"This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do：as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material，"the researchers write．
25．The underlined words"converge on"in Paragraph 3probably  meansA．
A．tend towards      
B．refer to    
C．turn into     
D．put forward
