    10．My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died．As a single parent，I tried to do my best to talk to him，but the more I tried，the more he pulled away．When his report card （成绩报告单）arrived during his junior year，it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year．At this rate he would never graduate．I sent him to the school adviser，and I even begged him．Nothing worked．
    One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help．"Please God，I can't do anything more for my son．I'm at the end of my rope．I'm giving the whole thing up to you．"Just then，I got a phone call．A man introduced himself as the headmaster，"I want to talk to you about Karl's absences．"Before he could say another word，all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger．"I love my son but I just don't know what to do．I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked．It's out of my hands．"For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line．The headmaster seriously said，"Thank you for your time"and hung up．
    Karl's next report card showed a great improvement in his grades．Finally，he even made the honor roll（光荣榜）．In his fourth year，I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl．I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around．On our way home，he said，"Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year？"I nodded．"That was me．I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said，it really hit me how much I was hurting you．That's when I knew I had to make you proud．"

    点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．

    20．Britain's most popular lie has been discovered，with one in four people admitting using"Sorry I had no signal"when returning a missed mobile phone call，a survey found．
    According to a recent survey people usually use this little white lie after they hit the"ignore"button when their mobile rang．The second most common fib is"I haven't got any cash on me"when asked for money by beggars．Modern technology is a major excuse in many of our lies with"I didn't get your text"in 18th，"Our server was down"in 20th and"My battery died"in 26th place．
    Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year．One in three Britons have lied about their weight，a quarter have fibbed about the amount of debt they are in and 30 percent have bent the truth about the amount of exercise they do．
    Almost a quarter of men have told their wife or girlfriend they look good in an outfit，despite thinking the opposite．More than 40 percent of women have admitted lying about how much new clothes actually cost while 30 percent have fibbed about how much they've had to drink．
    Three quarters of people think women are better liars．The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying，compared to 58 of men．Men tell the most fibs，coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times．
    A spokesman for one poll，which carried out the research of 4，300 adults，said，"As a nation we are obsessed with trying to be nice and not upsetting people．Often little white lies are used to cover what we actually want to say．"
    "Most of these were considered either completely harmless or necessary depending on the situation in which they are delivered．"He added，"It was sad to see a string of compliments in the top 50，but once again in many cases perhaps it is better to compliment（恭维） with a lie than destroy someone with the truth．"
    26．What is the best title for the passage？A
    A．The most popular British lies         B．British people like to lie
    C．The reasons British people lie        D．Technology makes us lie
    27．According to the research，what do women most frequently lie about？D
    A．Their weight
    B．The amount of their debt．
    C．Their drinking habits
    D．The cost of their clothing．
    28．Which of the following statement is true according to the research？B
    A．Three quarters of women are better liars
    B．Men lie more often than women．
    C．More men are better liars than women
    D．More women lie than men．

    A．very concerned with                  
    B．surprised about
    C．opposed to

    1．Indian's snake charmers （耍蛇者） are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．The charmers，who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子），used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins．
    The government is now considering a plan to train the snake charmers，as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife．There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders （入侵者）．
    "For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest，"said Behar Dutt，a professor behind the plans，"if a policeman doesn't catch them，animal rights activists report them．"
    Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hanging from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target （目标） for police．
    The fate of Shisha Nath，56，from Badarpur，a village just outside of Delhi，is typical of practitioners （从业者） of the dying art．"I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，"he said．"Now it's hard to earn even for a day．My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．But it's become impossible．"
    Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune，western India，where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge．
    More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers．
    "We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，"said Prakash Nath，who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader．

    B．most of them cannot support their families
    C．their performances on the street are banned
    D．the government plans to save the dying art

    A．to give performance of snake dancing
    B．to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
    C．to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
    D．to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses

    A．secretly  B．happily  C．unconsciously  D．diligently
    63．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？B
    A．Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street．
    B．Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers'job．
    C．Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen．

    2．With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer，Jeremy Lin （林书豪） finished the New York Knicks'dramatic reversed victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters．
       The Knicks have won six games in a row，and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions．Although the season is still young，the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff （季后赛） contestant．Lin，not team's high-paid stars，has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job．
    After nearly 15 years of disappointing，sometimes unsuccessful seasons，Madison Square Garden is alive again，and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks．To put things into perspective，consider this：Just several years back，Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas．
    Now，Madison Square Garden Co．shares are at a record high，the Knicks'average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup （首发阵容），and jersey sales are increasing very quickly．I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem，and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s．
    Beyond the Knicks，Lin may be saving the NBA as well．Just a few months back，the NBA took a massive credibility hit during a multi-month lockout，where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels．As a consequence，the season did not even begin until Christmas Day．Over the past few years，LeBron James'（勒布朗﹒詹姆斯） relatively long and unpleasant free-agent （自由职业球员） events，combined with poor play around the league，have angered fans and damaged the league's brand．
    Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival．His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans，increased NBA sales in China，and turned the basketball world upside down．
    51．According to the passage，Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following exceptD．
    A．The NBA                                     
    B．Madison Square Garden Co．'s shares
    C．The Knicks                                    
    D．Coach Isiah Thomas
    52．The underlined word"young"in Paragraph 2 probably means"A．"
    A．in the early stage    
    B．not old yet．
    C．not completely grown．
    D．in the development      
    53．Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
    A．These Knicks'stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season
    B．The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden
    C．The owners and the players didn't agree on raising the TV ratings
    D．The Knicks didn't satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season
    54．The passage is mainly aboutA．
    A．how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks，probably including the NBA
    B．why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks  
    C．how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff  
    D．why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin．

    19．"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic．"say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．
             The lowering of the waters'PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues，they warn．Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett，from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory，report their concerns in the journal Nature．Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air，and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater．Once in the water，it reacts to form carbonic acid．Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century．
             These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere，"said Dr Caldeira．And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超过） anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years，let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小行星） impacts
              However，it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface，where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur，but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs（珊瑚礁） and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（碳酸钙） may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up，the team predict．They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH．
             In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered．"Previously，most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing--because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet，and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean，it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming．"
    57．The ocean is becoming more acidic due toC．
    A．the lower water PH value                                     
    B．the warming atmosphere
    C．the higher level of CO2 in the air                         
    D．the increasing use of oil fuels
    58．According to Dr Caldeira，D．
    A．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
    B．more oil fuels will be used in the near future
    C．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
    D．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
    59．If the water's acidity level keeps rising，A 
    A．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
    B．the water's PH value will become higher and higher
    C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changes
    D．some disastrous events will occur more often than before
    60．Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduceB．
    A．the CO2 absorbed by the ocean                          
    B．the amount of greenhouse warming
    C．the acidity of the ocean                                         
    D．the gradual release of CO2．

    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．
