15．It was 1961 and was in the fifth grade．My marks in school were miserable and，the thing was，I didn't really care．My older brother and I lived with Mom in a small multi-family house in Detroit．We watched TV every night for hours．
But one day Mom changed our world forever．She came home，turned off the TV，sat us down and said："You boys are going to read two books every week．And you're going to write me a report on what you read．"We complained about how unfair it was．Besides，we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible．But she explained："I'll drive you to the library．"So pretty soon the two boys were driven to Detroit Public Library in her white 1950 old car．I wandered reluctantly among the children's books．I loved animals，so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals，I started leafing through them．
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder．It was about beavers（海貍）．For the first time I was lost in another world．The experience was quite different from watching TV．There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes．Soon I began to look forward to visiting the library．I moved from animals to plants，and then to rocks．Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds，and I was free to go anywhere in them．
Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery（神經(jīng)外科） at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore．Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey，from a failing student to this position，which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery．
But I know when the journey began-the day Mom turned off the TV set and put us in her old car for that drive to the library．

分析 本文作者講述了自己童年的一段經(jīng)歷：他和他的哥哥如何在母親的督促下，放棄看電視轉(zhuǎn)而去圖書館閱讀書籍，從一開始的不情愿到后來逐漸被書中的知識所吸引，進而對書愛不釋手，最終學(xué)業(yè)有成、事業(yè)成功．

解答 BBACD
61．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文章最后一句話But I know when the journey began-the day Mom turned off the TV set and put us in her old car for that drive to the library．
可以得知，作者的人生之路發(fā)生變化是在媽媽關(guān)上電視到我們?nèi)D書館，可以判斷是閱讀改變了作者，故答案為B
62．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)媽媽說You boys are going to read two books every week．And you're going to write me a report on what you read．可知，媽媽讓作者每周讀兩本書并寫出讀書報告，故答案為B
63．A 詞義猜測題 根據(jù)I wandered reluctantly among the children's books．I loved animals，so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals，I started leafing through them．可知，作者剛開始并不喜歡閱讀，只是喜歡動物，便隨便翻了翻一本關(guān)于動物的書，故答案為A
64．C 推理判斷題 根據(jù)The experience was quite different from watching TV．There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes．可知，讀書可以在腦海中想象圖畫，故答案為C
65．D 推理判斷題 根據(jù) Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery（神經(jīng)外科） at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore．Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey，from a failing student to this position，which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery．
可以得知作者在醫(yī)院是神經(jīng)外科的主治醫(yī)師，并世界各地講學(xué)并做手術(shù)，故答案為D

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

6．Jiang Nan，a full-time mother in Beijing，keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home，carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries．"Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns，but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations，"she explained．
Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production，sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter （毫米），and retailers（零售商） are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers，regardless of the thickness．
Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping．"A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao，but it's more about how bad they are for the environment，"Jiang said．
The plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities，and has been distinctly effective in reducing white waste．On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing，an NGO environmental organization，shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone，saving more than 1.2 million tons of petroleum．
However，enforcement shows considerably less muscle in smaller cities，towns and country-side．In a remote town like Lichuan，the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities．Street vendors（街頭小販） worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags．Seeing no significance in the issue，local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag traffic in the market．
There are still those who don't have an interest in living green．Cui Lin，another Beijinger，often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping，and has to buy plastic bags．"Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner，and I don't mind paying a couple more jiao，"he shrugged．
Mrs Yu，a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County，Jiangxi Province，recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s，Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market．"Plastic bags are more convenient，"she comments，and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags，paid or free．This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day．
49．In Paragraph 1，the writer uses Jiang Nan's case toA．
A．introduce a topic                                      
B．tell a story
C．describe a person                                      
D．offer an argument
50．How did Jiang Nan get her cloth bags？C
A．She bought them at a low price．
C．She borrowed them from her relatives．
B．She got them for free．
D．She made them herself．
51．Which is NOT the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping？A
A．Cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry．
B．People's awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough．
C．People don't mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags．
D．Street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them．
52．What message does the writer mostly convey in the passage？C
A．To reduce white waste is urgent．
B．The plastic bag ban has achieved great success．
C．There is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban．
D．People's awareness of environmental protection should be stressed．

3．In our culture，the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same．Women often are told"You can't have it all．"Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is："You choose a career，so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life．"or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career？"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that，for women，well-being has two aspects．One is mastery，which includes self-respect，a sense of control over your life，and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life，to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect，and it is made up of happiness，satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure，and vice versa（反之亦然）．For example，a woman who has a good job，but whose mother has just died，might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life，but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time．
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women，and correct past mistakes．In the past，women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study，all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed．
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles．At least by middle adulthood，the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages，motherhood，and employment-were the highest in well-being，in spite of warnings about stress and strain．

65．It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD．
A．for women，a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B．for women，a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C．women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
66．The author's attitude towards women having a career isB．
A．negative         B．positive         C．indifferent          D．realistic
67．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles，D．
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
68．Which of the following can be considered as a source of"pleasure"for women？A
A．Family life                              B．Multiple roles in society
C．Regular employment                       D．Freedom from anxiety．

20．Michael，Rae，Jequita，Alice，Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common：They all love animals so much that they're driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter．
The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter，help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray（流浪）pets．
The shelter，at 12300 Wayne Road，opened in June 2011and operates on money raised in the community．To date，bingos and other fundraising activities have brought in more than＄177.000，according to community leader William Wadsworth，but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet．
"Without their help，this building would not be an outstanding place，"Wadsworth said．"Their time and devotion is beyond what I ever expected．And I thank them all．"
The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers，Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff，who spend much of their day patrolling（巡邏）the city and housing stray dogs and cats．The two，both with 32 years of experience，count on the public to be the eyes and cars of the shelter．They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter．
That's where the volunteers come in．They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption．They clean cages，play with the animals，feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks．They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms．
