13．Riding a London subway，a person from other countries will notice one major difference：in London，people do not look at each other．In fact，eye contact is avoided at all times．That's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what，you ask？Well，they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book．
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007，over 40，000-yes，that's 40，000-"apps"（programs downloaded for the iPhone） have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One"app"，called iShoot，is a game that features tanks（坦克）．Another one，Tube Exits，tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the"steam"on your phone screen．
For those without an iPhone，another Apple product，the iPod，may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It's not just teenagers who"plug in"to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games，e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied，then perhaps you would prefer a film．The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．With all these distractions，it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

64．Commuters on a London subway don't make eye contact becauseD．
A．the British are usually shy on the train     
B．the British law doesn't allow them to do so
C．they are busy working on their laptops
D．they are busy enjoying high-tech distractions
65．All the following belong to"apps"exceptC．
A．iShoot       B．Tube Exits   C．iPod   D．iSteam
66．IShoot features a function ofA．
A．war games   B．listening   C．writing   D．guiding
67．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．Seeing you have these time-fillers，other commuters usually hesitate to bother you．
B．Apple must have made much money by selling their products to commuters．
C．IPod is not popular with the commuters of old age in London．
D．With the time-fillers，commuters usually miss their destinations．

3．When I was growing up，16 was always a magical age，a symbol of maturity，responsibility and of course  more independence and freedom．I sat through the hours of Driver's Ed classes eager to get out on the road．I couldn't wait to get my driver's license．
But it's a different story for today's teens．In January，the U．S．Department Transportation released 2012 data that showed only 30.7 percent of U．S．teens got their license at age 16，Twenty years before，that number was almost 45 percent．
There are numbers of reasons for the fall-off．The growing responsibilites like paying for insurance and high gas prices discourage teens from getting behind the wheel．Plus，many teens today are so busy with homework，endless hours of activities and part-time jobs，that finding the time for Driver's Ed classes may be more difficult that ever．
In addition，many states have raised the driving age，or restricted when teens can drive and who they can have in the car．Parents may also be making their own personal restrictions until they feel their teens are responsible enough to drive safely．
Driving is part of the American culture，but it's not the central focus like it was 25 years ago．They have so many other things to do now．One of the more interesting fators delaying teens driving might be the change of their social life．Today，teens need to look no further than Facebook or other social networking sites to connect with their friends．There is simply less need，maybe less desire，to be able to grab the keys and go．
Michelle Wei got her license as a senior in high school because her digital social life made it easy not to drive．"If I couldn't get a ride to see my friend who live a town over，"the 19-year-old said，"I could talk on IM or Skype．"
Research has shown that these online relationships can lead to higher quality friendships，so it isn's necessarily a bad thing．However，it's important to find a balance．If old face-to-face friendships are good，why not drive top find them？
71．We can infer from the first paragraph thatC．
A．Driver's Ed classes allowed teens to know what maturity was
B．getting a driving license at 16 was a must for American teens
C．16 was considered an age when one could get his driver's license
D．teens could drive on the road without taking Driver's Ed classes
72．What does the passage mainly talk about？A
A．Derire to drive on the road declines among American teens．
B．Getting a license costs much more than ever before．
C．Social networking sites are changing the life of Amiercan teens．
D．American teens are becoming more responsible than ever．
73．Which is NOT a facot delaying American teens getting their driving licenses？D
A．The cost of insurance and gas．
B．Too many school courses and activities．
C．Restrictions from families and states．
D．pursuit of more freedom and independence．
74．Micheels Wei's example is used to explainC．
A．why American teens are crazy about digital social life
B．what social networking websites are bringing to American teens
C．to what degree the Internet is affecting the American car culture
D．what the Internet does to help teens to get a driving license
75．The last paragraph is reminding the readers thatB．
A．the Internet h as a bad effect on the teen's social life
B．teens should keep a balance in choosing their lifestyle
C．a(chǎn)ctual contacts can be replaced by talking on line
D．face-to-face friendship is always the best choice．

4．Today is National Bike-to-Work Day．And on New York City's jammed streets，people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes．But New York's widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars．
When the weather is good，Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal（用踏板踩）his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle．Naparstek supports the new lane．
Aaron：The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it's possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around．This is what 21st century New York City looks like．
Prospect Park West is still a one-way road，but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic，now it has two，plus a protected bike lane．Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone，including pedestrians，by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk．But some longtime residents disagree．Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety．She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic．
Lois：We wanted a lane-the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe，that would keep the bikers safe．But we want it to be done the right way．And it has not been done the right way．
Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan．I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own．
Craig：I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in．You took what used to be a full street and you're shrinking it．
Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg，Brooklyn，who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood．But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%．Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that  a mandate．
Caroline：If this was an election，we would have already had our victory．The public has spoken and they keep speaking．And I think，more importantly，the public is starting to vote with their pedals．

72．What does Aaron mean by saying"This is what 21st century New York City looks like．"？C
A．There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21st century New York City．
B．Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York．
C．Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21st century New York City．
D．It's possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York．
73．According to the passage，which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes？C
A．Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars．
B．The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents．
C．We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before．
D．The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority of New Yorkers．
74．"A mandate"in Paragraph 8was referred to a demand or command fromB．
A．the authority  B．the public  C．the supporters  D．the government
75．What of the following might be the best title of the passage？C
A．Ride on National Bike-to-Work Day
B．A New Bike Lane Appears in New York
C．A Bike Lane Divides New Yorkers
D．Who Wins an Election．

1．In Europe，people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal，a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method．Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal，so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat．It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets，making a lot of noises．
A few explanations for this American style are as follows：?
（1）Americans are practical and efficient．Since most of us are right-handed，it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently．?
（2）Americans，the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）．They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England．Americans are a restless kind．They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining．
（3）Forced to do so，they respond by"playing"with the silver．?
Whatever the reason for the practice，it is now certainly as American as apple pie．Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence（無知）of form．Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition．In Old World dining，the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）．However，such alertness（警覺） is out of place in the New World，as every American believes that this is the home of the brave．Americans juggle their silverware，perhaps，to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）．
31．Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad．A
A．the right hand   
B．the left hand
C．both hands     
D．either of the two hands
32．As the masters of the New World，Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World toB．
A．show their independence of Mother England
B．show their disrespect to Mother England
C．a(chǎn)dd a new tradition to those in Mother England
D．show off their creativeness to Mother England
33．In the last sentence，the word"juggle"probably meansB
A．hold       B．play with         C．pick up            D．lay down
34．Also in the last sentence，the two"them"refer toC
A．Americans              
B．Europeans and Americans separately
C．Americans and Europeans separately           
D．Europeans                    
35．Which of the following statements is NOT true？D
A．European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand．
B．The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics．
C．The zigzag eating method has become an American feature．
D．European people will use the American method because of its efficiency．

8．You have probably read the books．You have probably seen the movies．But have you heard the music？The latest Harry Potter news is that bands form to play what is called"wizard rock"or sometimes just"wrock"．
The new kind of music began when Joe De George and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band．Ron on guitar，Hermione on bass，Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group．In one day，the brothers wrote，rehearsed and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts．After the first performance，Paul decided that"we are Harry and the potters．"
Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like：rock"n"rock inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter．The De George started a trend．Today there are dozens of wizard-rock bands：the Whomping Willows，the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few．Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals．
People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome．The songs can be funny，but the music is not a joke．Just ask the De George brothers．They've played more than 500shows in 49states and their hit songs are inspired by characters from Harry Potter："Save Ginny Weasley"and"Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!"The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowling's books：love and friendship，upset and struggle．
Wizard rock is just one more by-product in the Harry Potter craze．Two years after J．K．Rowling published her last book in the series，Potter popularity continues to grow．There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grow-ups to help fight hunger，for example．And the fact that they may do it while humming"Wizard Chess"or"Platform 9"makes those meetings fun．

51．What is the text mainly about？C
A．Harry Potter．       B．Harry Potter's music． 
C．Wizard rock．         D．Joe and Paul's band．
52．The underlined word"awesome"in Pa4 probably meansB in the text．
A．a(chǎn)musing           B．serious           C．considerate       D．inviting
53．Which of the following is true about wizard rock？D
A．It's no different from rock"n"rock．
B．It's sung in the films Harry Potter．
C．It's a funny business．
D．It follows the themes in Rowling's books．
54．According to the last paragraph，we can learn thatA．
A．Harry Potter has had great effects in many aspects
B．Harry Potter is very popular in the world
C．Wizard rock is Harry Potter's only by-product
D．Potter's clubs have helped the hungry．

5．It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas．While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone．
The bike，a black Kona 18speed，was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，and then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity．And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we，too，can share with others．No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．

56．Why was the bike so important to the couple？C
A．The man's job was bike racing．
B．It was their only possession．
C．They used it for work and daily life．
D．It was a nice Kona 18speed．

3．Once Dr．Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man，aged 34，who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving，and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr．Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and，in a very gentle voice，asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like？"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home？"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If you had food that you liked，would you eat it？"
"Yes，yes．"the patient said．
The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious．Nothing was said，but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received．
Later，the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat．One of the students said，"We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose，"the doctor replied，"you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it，would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request？"
"I would probably insist，"the student said．
"Very well，"the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won't be easy，but I can help you．Meanwhile，let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible，and stay with it．Or he'll be killed by hunger．By the way，there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress，we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later，Dr．Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people； you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．
55．The patient had no desire to eat becauseB，
A．he was not hungry                
B．he was not satisfied with the food

56．According to the passage，we can conclude thatA．
A．the patient was from another country．
B．the patient's illness was caused by hunger
C．Dr．Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient
D．the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient
57．Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr．Mellinkoff？D
A．Cold   B．Curious．C．Confident．D．Considerate．
58．What do you think Dr．Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case？A
