12．A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China-"tuhao"-which loosely translated means"nouveau riche"．There have been more than 100 million references to the word"tuhao"on social media since early September．
It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building，to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling，and the new gold-coloured iPhone．
In Chinese"tu"means earth and"hao"means rich．To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background，and have made it rich quick-but don't quite have the manners，or sophistication to go along with it．It's like the term"nouveau riche"，says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham-but has even more negative meanings，suggesting a certain vulgarity（粗俗）．
"Tuhao"is actually an old word-dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1，500 years ago-but it has always meant something rather different．During the communist revolution，from the 1920s to early 1950s，it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them．
This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich，but unhappy man，who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice，expecting to be told to live a more simple life．The monk replies instead with the phrase："Tuhao，let's be friends!"
Chinese internet users are highly creative in their use of language，and are constantly inventing，and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship rules．But in this case，its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it brieflyhttp://www．ks5u．com/expresses China's changing society so well-many people sneerat those with wealth，but are secretly jealous．
51．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Tuhao，a new popular word in China
B．The long history of Tuhao
C．The new usage of Tuhao
D．Tuhao，a newly-invented Chinese word
52．Which of the following may NOT be considered"tuhao"？D
A．A vulgar nouveau riche 
B．A bully landholder
C．A quick-rich peasant without proper manners
D．A Buddhist monk．
53．The last but one paragraph mainly tells usB．
A．what the new usage of the word is
B．how the word becomes popular again
C．why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk
D．what advice the monk gave the unhappy man
54．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？C
A．respect      B．envy    C．underestimate    D．disbelieve．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了"土豪"這一新興詞語；介紹了它的由來和結(jié)果．

解答 51．A．主旨大意題．通讀全文可知，該文向讀者講述了一新興詞語"土豪"，且根據(jù)文章的具體內(nèi)容可知"土豪"一詞并非新造之詞，而要突出其"新興"二字，故該題正確答案為A．
52．D．細(xì)節(jié)信息題．根據(jù)文章對"土豪"的具體定義可知，該詞在共產(chǎn)革命時指代欺壓弱小的土豪劣紳．在當(dāng)下，其重新流行，卻指代那些來自于貧困農(nóng)村，而又迅速富起來的"爆發(fā)戶"，他們往往行為粗俗．而D．A Buddhist monk．佛教僧侶，并非為"土豪"，故該題正確答案為D．
53．B．推理判斷題．本題詢問的是文章倒數(shù)第二段的段落大意．而該段主要講述的是"土豪"一詞再次流行的起因，故該題正確答案為B．
54．C．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)語境（尤其是"but are secretly jealous．"）可知，該句句意："但是對于‘土豪'這個詞，它之所以如此流行似乎是因為，歸根結(jié)底，它正是中國社會轉(zhuǎn)型的一個縮影--許多人對這些擁有財富的人表面‘鄙夷'，暗中卻非常妒忌．"，故該詞應(yīng)為表示貶義的動詞；故該題正確答案為C．

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

5．The house was quiet at 5am and Tim's mother was asleep．Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet．He'd dreamt of the cave last night．The purring （輕微顫動聲） of the freezer had been the sea．
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag．It was too early for breakfast．He'd eat after he'd been through the cave，sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea．He wished he had a proper pack．His schoolbag would have to do．What else？Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches，she'd want to know why he had to leave so early．He settled for some biscuits，and left a note stuck to the table：Gone to Michael's．Back tonight，Tim．
The sky was high and soft and light outside，though the sun still wasn't up．Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street．The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet．
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun，though the top of the sand was cool．He ran down to the beach impatiently，but there was no one，just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves．
The light changed suddenly．The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea．The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．
Over the first rocks，along to the point，Tim glanced back．The beach was still empty．The sun sailed higher in the sky．
He could see the cave now，even darker in the morning light．The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it．He had to force himself to go closer．Why was it so much more mysterious now？But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble．He needn't go in all the way…
24．What did Tim do at the beginning of the story？D

20．These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint．Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices．
Green building means"reducing the impact （影響） of  the building  on the land"，Taryn Holowka of the U．S．Green Building Council in Washington D．C．said．
According to Holowka，the building accounts for 65percent of total U．S．electricity use．
But green building can reduce energy and water use．Also，the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways，so that people can drive their cars less．That could be good for the environment，because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution．Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings don't destroy forests．
Marty Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action．The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building．According to Dettling，"We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50percent．"
The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power．"On the face of the building we have solar panels（板） which change the sun's energy into electricity，"Dettling explained．The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room．In addition，the building has lots of windows，allowing people to use the sun for light during the day．The Solaire cuts water reusing it．
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building，however．Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources．Anyhow，Holowka said，"It's going to be big．"

72．In the second paragraph，the underlined words"the building"most probably refer toA．
A．a(chǎn)n ordinary building              B．a(chǎn)n energy-saving building
C．a(chǎn) green-colored building          D．a(chǎn) building in Washington D．C．
73．A green building is often built on an area of landC．
A．which has thick forests around
B．where people of high income live
C．which has already been for buildings
D．where traveling around by car is most convenient
74．When saying"It's going to be big"，Holowka means that green buildingsB．
A．will be more comfortable
B．will become popular in future
C．will be more environmentally friendly
D．will take the place of traditional building
75．What is the main subject discussed in the text？A
A．Green buildings help save environment．
B．The Solaire serves as a model of high building．
C．Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design．
D．Dettling designed the first green building in the U．S．

7．People are being lured（引誘） onto Facebook with the promise of a fun，free service，and don't realize that they're paying for it by giving up loads of personal information．Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data（資料） to advertisers that want to send targeted （目標(biāo)的）messages．
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening．Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook，because people don't really know what their personal details are worth．
The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules．Early on，you could keep everything private．That was the great thing about Facebook-you could create your own little private network．Last year，the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city，your photo，your friends'names-were set，by default（默認(rèn)），to be shared with everyone on the Internet．
According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to improve its service，and if people don't share information，they have a"less satisfying experience．"
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money．Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed．Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends？
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington．In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy．He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites．"I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，"Schrage admits．
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy，it's only the beginning，which is why I'm considering deactivating（撤銷） my account（賬號）．Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust．That is too high a price to pay．
71．What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph？C
A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users．
B．It makes money by putting on advertisements．
C．It earns money by selling its user's personal data
D．It provides a lot of information to its users
72．What does the author say about most Facebook users？B
A．They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook
B．They are unwilling to give up their personal information
C．They don't identify themselves when using website
D．They care very little about their personal information
73．Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage？A
A．To help its users make more friends
B．To obey the Federal guidelines
C．To make money by attracting more users
D．To offer better service to its users
74．What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for？C
A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
B．Setting rules for social-networking sites
C．Stopping sharing user's personal information
D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites
75．Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account？C
A．He is dissatisfied with its service．
B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy．
C．He doesn't want his personal data badly used．
D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes．

17．How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change color to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimps．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000shrimps!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish （觀賞魚）．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．

71．The sea horse got its name because of itsA．
A．head     B．tail          C．skin       D．pouch
72．How does a sea horse keep safe from other fish？A
A．It hides in plants and grasses．    B．It runs away quickly．
C．It remains still．                  D．It rolls up．
73．We can learn from the text that sea horsesC．
A．like to move around                       B．live in cold ocean waters
C．feed on small sea animals                 D．change color with the temperature
74．What does a female sea horse do with her eggs？A
A．She puts them in the male's pouch．
B．She hides them in sea grasses．
C．She carries them around．
D．She hatches them．

A．They grow at a very low speed．
B．Their homes are being destroyed．
C．They are killed by people for food．

4．After commuting，cooking dinner and doing household chores，the average parent has just 30minutes to devote to their children in the evenings，according to a new study．One in four working parents worry that half an hour simply isn't enough，while almost half fret that they aren't a good enough parent during the week．
However，parenting experts believe just 12minutes a day may be enough for mothers and fathers to fully   reconnect with their child-as long as they ask the right questions．Child psychologist Dr Claire Halsey said asking a series of open-ended questions can help improve parents'relationship with their children．

Dr Halsey，working with the makers of Ribena Plus，who commissioned the research，said："There is no one as tough on their own parenting skills as a parent-but this study shows there is no need for parents to be so harsh．It's hard for working parents to juggle all their responsibilities and it can feel like guilt is simply a parent's lot-but it's absolutely not．By using clever tactics such as a little preparation alongside use of open-ended questions-such as‘Tell me what the best bit about your day was？'-parents can reduce the time worrying about chores and work and spend more time learning about their children's day．"

1．I travel a lot，and I find out different"styles"of directions every time 1 ask"How can I get to the post office？"
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names； in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many landmarks．There are no mountains，so the land is very flat； in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Inste ad of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances．In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，"Go north two miles．Turn east，and then go another mile．"
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map； they measure distance in time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"you ask．"Oh，"they answer，"it's about five minutes from here．"You say，"Yes，but how many miles away is it？"They don't know．
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes．What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say，‘Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers"I don't know．"People in Yucatan believe that"I don't know"is impolite，They usually give an answer，often a wrong one．A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!

21．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usuallyD
A．descr ibe the place carefully      B．refer to recognizable buildings and places
C．show him a map of the place        D．tell him the names of the streets       
22．Which is the place where people measure distance in time？B
A．New York．  B．Kansas．  C．Los Angeles．  D．Iowa．
23．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answerC
A．so as to be polite    B．a(chǎn)s a test        C．for fun         D．in order to save time
24．What can we infer from the text？A
A．It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly．
B．People have similar understandings of politeness．
C．It's important for tra velers to understand cultural differences．
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors．
