14．As for older people，some of the applications（应用程序）are hard to use because they didn't grow up with them．They don't have simple models of how it should work．They don't know what to do when it doesn't work．
I think there is huge potential，so I have designed some for them．The ability to connect to friends，who remember the same movies，news and music，is really important，especially as people get older．They end up in retirement homes and they aren't always close to their friends．Allowing the network to help them connect with friends  and family members is a really powerful thing．
My wife likes using the Internet，although it took me years to get her to use e-mail．She was born withnormal hearing，but lost it when she was three years old．She was totally deaf for many years until 53whenshe got ear implants（移植）．They work really well．That is a big change for her．Before then，her friendscouldn't call her on the phone，so they insisted that she use e-mails to communicate with them．
The younger people don't even think of this as technology．It's just there，and they use it．There's beena very interesting change in communication styles between the old and the young．A woman named Sharryturkle wrote about this phenomenon（现象）．There are some kids who are now in their teens and aretending not to make phone calls．And they think of e-mail as old-fashioned and slow．
The reason why teens don't make phone calls seems to be that they don't know what to say．Whenthey call they often pause for a while．On the other hand，texting is considered proper，and it's OK if you don't answer．You might have been distracted（心烦意乱的）．It's not considered rude，but it's consideredunusual if you're in this kind of voice conversation and simply stop talling．

57．We can infer from the text that the author is aB．
A．company manger
B．programdesigner
C．college professor
D．family doctor
58．Why did the author's wife connect with others by e-mail？Because sheD．
A．didn't like to talk on the phone
B．didn't know how to use the phone
C．couldn't move or meet with her friends
D．was deaf and couldn't hear others on the phone
59．What do the young people think of the Internet according to the text？C
A．Interesting．
B．Amazing．
C．Common．
D．Dull．
60．What is the best way for the teens to communicate with others？D
A．Sending e-mail．
B．Making phone call．
C．Writing letters．
D．Sending text messages．

分析对于年长的人来说，一些新的科技对他们来说太复杂了而不能得到充分利用．但是与朋友进行联系是很必要的，于是作者为老年人专门涉及了一些应用程序．在本文中作者也对老年人和青少年对电话网络等的使用进行了比较．

解答 BDCD
57 B 推理判断题．文章首段提到电脑的一些应用程序对老年人来说很复杂，然后在第二段提出I think there is huge potential，so I have designed some for them．由此推断作者是一名编程人员，选B．
58   D 细节理解题．根据文章第二段She was born withnormal hearing，but lost it when she was three years old．She was totally deaf for many years until 53 whenshe got ear implants可知他妻子喜欢用邮件的原因是她曾经失聪多年，故选D
59   C 细节理解题．根据文章倒数第二段 The younger people don't even think of this as technology．It's just there，and they use it可知年轻人认为网络是非常常见的东西，选C．
60   D 细节理解题．根据文章末段Whenthey call they often pause for a while．On the other hand，texting is considered proper，and it's OK if you don't answer．可知青少年喜欢发信息，选D．

点评学生需要认真阅读原文，把握文章大意，对文章脉络有整体的了解，能仔细查找文中细节，并能根据文章内容进行合理的推测判断．

4．I remembered that when I was a little child，I used to look for Sunday of the week．Yes，I was so looking forward to an adventure．
Now，I still have a strong affinityfor buses．I used to wonder where those gigantic （巨大的） buses finally stopped．On sunshine Sundays，that's my adventure times．He took me to the bus stop．Time passed，while I was growing impatient，he was smiling，as he always does．
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today．I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us．I waved my hands so high with all my strength．I looked hopefully at him．He didn't move at all．He was still standing．It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn't any trouble to him at all．
He took my hand．We managed to find seats on the upper deck．I was so excited．Only sitting beside the windows made me happy．Looking at the rewinding buildings，streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun．Then，he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop．I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him．
That is me．I know now．I am all he cares．He wants me to be happy，as he always does．That's the strong bond between father and son．Childhood，naive（天真） and precious，you showed me the world and the way I look at the world．I am so grateful for your presence in my life．Thanks，you are so wonderful!

5．When two Bangs meet
SHELDON Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show，The Big Bang Theory （《生活大爆炸》）．He finally met his match last year：Stephen Hawking．
This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV．He has also been on Star Trek （in 1987）and The Simpsons （in 1989）．Each time，he played himself．
Hawking，71，is perhaps the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein．He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe，including the Big Bang （宇宙大爆炸） theory．
The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe．According to the theory，about 13.7billion years ago everything was all squeezed together in a tiny，tight little ball，and then the ball exploded．The results of that explosion are what we call the universe．?
Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people．His book：A Brief History of Time was published in 1988．In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language．The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers，including the Big Bang，black holes and light cones （光锥）．
Hawking's achievements are even greater if you think about his disability．When he was 21，Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking．Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side．To communicate，he moves two fingers to control the computer's mouse．He chooses his words from the screen，which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer （合成器）．
Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space．However，he believes they are probably very dangerous，so we should not look for them．"I imagine they might exist in very big ships…having used up all the resources from their home planet，"Hawking said in a British documentary named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking．

40．What does the"two Bangs"in the title refer to？D

2．Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck．I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do．Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is．
However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical．And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000hours studying and practicing．To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in．
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love．If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it．
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost．It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway．
Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time．If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards．Consistent，hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become rally good at whatever it is you put all that work into．
53．In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers toB．
A．being good at something
B．setting a practical goal
C．putting in more time
D．succeeding in life
54．Successful people suggest doing what one loves becauseD．
A．work makes one feel pain
B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．one gives up his work easily
D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
55．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？B
A．Successful people like to show their great skills．
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent．
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life．
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success．

9．Dogs are social animals and without proper training they will behave like wild animals． They will spoil your house，destroy your belongings，bark excessively，fight other dogs and even  bite you．Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong  time or place or are directed at the wrong thing．The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets （发泄途径） that are acceptable in the domestic setting．
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it．Obedience training  （驯服训练） doesn't solve all behavior problems，but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem．Training sets up a line of communication between you and your dog．Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do．
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order．When your dog obeys a simple request of"come here，sit，"it is showing obedience and respect for you．It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack （群） by using extreme measures．You can teach your dog its subordinate （从属的） role by teaching it to show submission to you．Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge．
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog．It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable．A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal．

4．Kiss crisis，hug horrors and the UK's handshake headaches
Greeting someone，saying goodbye-these situations fill me with unease．You have a second to make a dangerous decision．One peck （轻吻）？Two pecks？Three？No kisses at all？Why，I think，as I crash into the other person's face，why can't it be as simple as a handshake？
A survey by the soap company Radox in May showed one in five Brits now feels a handshake is"too formal"，according to the Daily Mail．Some 42percent said they never shook hands when greeting friends．For one third of people the alternative was a hug，for 16percent a kiss on the cheek．
British people are known to be reserved （保守的）-unfriendly，some would say．Handshakes used to work for us because we didn't have to get too close．But the super-British handshake is no longer fashionable．We want to be more like our easygoing Mediterranean neighbors who greet each other with kisses and hugs．
The trouble is，we still find it a bit awkward．What does a married man do when greeting a married female friend，for example？How should someone younger greet someone older？
Guys don't tend to kiss one another； my male friends in Britain go for the"manly hug"，taking each other stiffly （不自然地） in one arm and giving a few thumps on the back with words like"Take it easy，yeah？"．
The biggest questions，if you do decide to kiss，are how many times and which cheek first．Unlike the French，who comfortably deliver three，our cheek-pecks usually end in embarrassed giggling （咯咯笑）："Oh，gosh，sorry，I didn't mean to kiss you on the lips，I never know where to aim for first!"
But then it's never been easy for us poor，uncomfortable Brits．Even the handshake had its problems：don't shake too hard，but don't hold the other person's hand too limply （无力地） either，and definitely don't go in with sweaty hands．
Maybe it's better to leave it at a smile and a nod．

45．What is the article mainly about？B
A．Origin of the traditional British way of greeting someone．
B．New trends and problems that Brits have with the way they greet people．
C．Why the author feels uneasy when greeting someone or saying goodbye．
D．Differences in greetings between Britain and other Western countries．
46．What did the survey by the soap company Radox show？D
A．It is now considered unfriendly to greet friends with a handshake in Britain．
B．A kiss on the cheek is becoming the most popular form of greeting in Britain．
C．Most Brits no longer offer to shake hands with those they meet．
D．More and more Brits prefer to be greeted with a hug or kiss．
47．The underlined word"awkward"in paragraph 4is closest in meaning toC．
A．not helpful
B．too informal
C．quite embarrassed
D．very interesting
48．Which does the author think might be the safest form of greeting for a British person？B
A．A hug．
B．A smile and a nod．
C．A handshake．
D．A kiss on the cheek．
49．Who wrote the article？A
A．A British writer．
B．An American writer．
C．A French writer．
D．A Chinese writer．
