13．

The New York Times announced Wednesday that it intended to charge frequent readers for access to its Web site，a step being debated across the industry that nearly every major newspaper has so far feared to take．
Starting in early 2011，visitors to NYTimes．com will get a certain number of articles free every month before being asked to pay a flat fee for unlimited access．Subscribers（订阅者） to the newspaper's print edition will receive full access to the site．
But executives（执行主管） of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan，like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading．They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time，in response to economic conditions and reader demand．
Still，publishers fear that income from digital subscriptions would not compensate for the resulting loss of audience and advertising revenue．
NYTimes．com is by far the most popular newspaper site in the country，with more than 17million readers a month in the United States，according to Nielsen Online，and analysts say it is easily the leader in advertising revenue，as well．That may make it better positioned than other general-interest papers to charge-and also gives The Times more to lose if the move backfires．
The Times Company has been studying the matter for almost a year，searching for common ground between pro-and anti-pay camps-a debate mirrored in dozens of media-watching blogs-and the system will not go into effect until January 2011．Executives said they were not bothered by the prospect of absorbing barbs（冷嘲热讽） for moving cautiously．
"There's no prize for getting it quick，"said Janet L．Robinson，the company's president and chief executive．"There's more of a prize for getting it right．"

72．The first paragraph serves as aC．
A．conclusion B．comment C．lead-in D．background
73．We may know from the passage thatD．
A．non-paying readers will get no access to NYTimes．com
B．readers will be charged more to read more articles on NYTimes．com
C．visitors to NYTimes．com frequently will get more free online articles
D．subscribers to the print edition will enjoy free access to the site as well
74．Which of the following best describes The Times Company's attitude towards its announcement？B
A．rude B．serious C．hurried D．doubtful
75．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．the Times to offer free access to its web site
B．the Times to increase audience to its web site
C．the Times to attract advertisement to its web site
D．the Times to charge for frequent access to its web site．

分析本文主要介绍了纽约时报准备向读者频繁进入网站收费的事情．

解答 CDBD
72   C   段落大意题：通读全文可知这段介绍了纽约时报准备向读者收费的事情，为了引入下文．选C
73   D 细节题；从第二段的句子：Subscribers to the newspaper's print edition will receive full access to the site．可知订阅报纸的人可以免费享有网站的内容．选D．
74 B 推理题：从第三段的句子：executives of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan，like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading．可知时报公司的态度是：草率的，轻率的，选B
75   D 主旨题：从第一段的主题句；The New York Times announced Wednesday that it intended to charge frequent readers for access to its website，可知纽约时报准备向读者频繁进入网站收费，故选D．

3．As you grow older，you'll be faced with some challenging decisions-like whether to cut class or try cigarettes．Making decisions on your own is hard enough，but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder．People who are your age，like your classmates，are called peers．When they try to influence how you act，to get you to do something，it's called peer pressure．
Peers can have a positive influence on each other．Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system．Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book，and now everyone's reading it．These are examples of how peers positively influence each other．
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways．For example，a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them； your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball．
It is tough to be the only one who says"no"to peer pressure，but you can do it．Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do．
You've probably had a parent or teacher advising you to"choose your friends wisely．"Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this．If you choose friends who don't cut class，smoke cigarettes，or lie to their parents，then you probably won't do these things either，even if other kids do．
If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to handle，talk to someone you trust．Don't feel guilty if you've made a mistake or two．

29．For whom is the passage most probably written？A
A．Students．B．Parents．C．Teachers．D．Doctors．
30．In the last three paragraphs，the author mainlyB．
A．explains why friendship is so important
B．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure
C．discusses how peers influence us
D．shows how to make more good friends
31．Which of the following may help handle peer pressure？C
A．Spending more time with classmates．
B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies．
C．Choosing friends with no bad habits．
D．Helping others who are in trouble．
32．What is the topic of the passage？D
A．Friendship．B．Making decisions C．Self-confidence D．Peer pressure．

4．After we meet people，it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend．The major qualities like faithfulness，devotion，friendliness，flash through our minds．But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one's whole character，such as cheerfulness，friendliness and punctuality．After all，"to make a friend，be a friend"is not such a big and difficult order．There are particular favorable qualities，which attract others to us，and some fundamental psychological dos and don'ts．
If you are in the presence of a shy person，talking and asking casual questions may bring him out of his shell．Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person for you to talk，or to listen．Either way，the goal is to make yourself pleasant．
Always remember to listen，but listen intelligently．To have anyone"hang on our words"is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody．For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction，but when it is our turn to be audience，let us remember how we felt as the actor，and let's be genuinely interested in what the other fellow is saying．
Other people will like us，if we like them．If you want friends，keep your mind and heart open to friendship．Be alive to the other person's world．
54．This passage is mainly aboutB．
A．the way of talking to a shy person
B．how to make a friend and be a friend
C．how to make yourself attractive to listeners
D．some favorable qualities to be a psychologist
55．According to the passage，an important way in making friends is toC．
A．attract them

C．help him understand the question better
D． make him become active
57．Of the qualities in a friend，which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？C

8．BEIJING，January 4，2010 （Xinhua net）-Dubai is set to open the world's tallest building to meet growing numbers of tourists to the Gulf Arab emirate （酋长国），according to media reports Monday．
The tower is being celebrated as a grand feat on the world stage，despite the city state's shaky financial footing．
But the final height of the Burj Dubai-Arabic for Dubai Tower-remains a closely guarded secret．It long ago beat its nearest rival，the Taipei 101，and ranks as the world's tallest structure，Dubai-based architects said．
People walk in front of the Burj Dubai，the world's tallest tower，in Dubai January 3，2010．Started at the height of the economic boom and built by some 12，000laborers，the world's tallest building will open on Monday in Dubai as the emirate seeks to rekindle optimism after its financial crisis．
Some 12，000workers and 100cranes （吊车） have built the hotel，residential and shopping complex which will include over 1，000luxury apartments．The tower alone would cost at least 1billion U．S．dollars to construct，excluding the complex malls，lakes and smaller tower blocs．
"The design has pushed the limits of what technology can achieve，no one has gone that high before．You have to invent new elevators that can sustain such heights，"Naaman Atallah，sales manager for its owner Emaar told．
The Burj's record-seeking developers didn't stop there．The building boasts the most stories and highest occupied floor of any building in the world．Its observation deck-on floor 160-also sets a record．
Designed by a U．S-based consultancy，the tower employs the geometric patterns of Islamic architecture around a base in the form of a six-petalled desert flower．The plans show an ambitious single structure comprising conjoined tube-shaped towers with the kind of space-age look seen in the New Age album covers of 70s progressive rock bands．
Dubai-part of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates-received about 5.4million visitors in 2004，up 9percent from 2003，and that the number is expected to grow three times by the end of the decade．

60．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．Burj Dubai is the second tallest building in the world．
B．Dubai has the strongest financial footing in the world．
C．No other country in the world has a taller building than Dubai．

D．Dubai wants to fill its people with confidence after the financial crisis
62．Dubai Tower is mainly used forD．
A．service industry
B．shopping center
C．entertainment and residence
D．hotel，residential and shopping complex

18．Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education．One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere．He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English，French，Math and History at a private school in Manchester．Here is his response：
For me，the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic，but goes against the idea of liberty．We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools．If parents pay taxes，surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school．
The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast．Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools．Many state schools are already overburdened； do they really need more pupils？Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated．In the times of economic crisis，should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education？There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools．
It is noted that，in general，private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools．Yet，why do people view this as a bad thing？The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education．This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them!If the private schools did not exist，where would be the impetus for state school improvement？
Government should not simply ban a system which produces results．It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model．Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody，learning from a successful system will．
66．In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere，parents have the right toC．
A．criticize state-funded schools
B．pay taxes for the promotion of private schools
C．choose the way their children receive education
D．advocate the competition between state schools and private ones
67．According to the passage，banning private education willD．
A．obviously contribute to lower taxes
B．not cause the state schools to be overburdened
C．force the government to boost state education
D．lead to many people losing their jobs
68．The underlined word"impetus"in the fourth paragraph probably meansA．
A．motivation         B．prevention         C．participation       D．assessment
69．Compared with state schools，private onesD．
A．educate a little fewer students
B．conduct better than all state ones
C．are better received by the public
D．are more competitive on the whole
70．Which of the following statements will Anirudh Mandagere agree with？B
A．His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers．
B．Without the existence of private schools，state ones wouldn't get improved much．
C．Private education is a good system to make students successful in life．
D．Private schools are supposed to be sponsored more than state ones．

5．A typical Chinese Internet user is a youny male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail，seldom makes online purchases and favors news，music and games sites．Accrding to a study，about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news-often entertainment-related--or for online games．About half download music and movies．
