The red phone box in Britain is a perfect example of the British traditional culture.However,with the fast development of mobile phones,it has lost its place in people's everyday life.In order to save their loved red phone boxes,people have thought up many ideas,for example,to turn them into toilets or art houses.
In a village in Somerset,a place in South West England,villagers have found a  novel  way to save their red phone box.They turned it into a mini library to cope with the shortage of libraries in their area.The idea was given by a local villager,Janet Fisher,who lives opposite the phone box.Villagers rallied together to set up the book box after their mobile library service was cancelled.Over 100books and a variety of movies and music CDs are available at this tiny library.The books are of different kinds,ranging from cooking books to the classics and children's books.
People can put the books that they have read inside the phone box,and take away the books that they'd like to read.The books are always changing.There is a regular check on the books to keep the phone box collection fresh.
Anyone is free to come to read books there.The phone box library is open every day around the clock and is lit at night."It's very pleasing that the red phone box has been saved.More importantly,it can continue providing a service for us,"said one of the villagers.

65.The red phone box has been a symbol ofB.
A.the European architecture      B.the British culture
C.the development of technology  D.British people's daily life
66.The underlined word"novel"in paragraph 2meansD.
A.separate  B.traditional  C.ridiculous  D.new
67.People in Somerset turned the red phone box into a mini library toB.
A.keep its original function

68.Which of the following statements is true about the red phone box?C
A.The library is open to the public only at night.
B.The library was set up by a local villager living opposite a phone box.
C.People can borrow books and other audio-visual products there.
D.Regular check is made to keep the books in good order.

分析 通过阅读短文,我们可以知道红色电话亭曾经是英国传统文化的一个象征.随着移动电话的发展,它渐渐失去了在人们生活中的作用.为了保护这一文化遗产,人们想出了各种各样的方法,文中重点介绍了在萨默赛特的一个小村庄人们为保护红色电话亭,把它改造成一个微型图书馆的故事.

解答 65-68  BDBC
65.B 细节题.由文章第一句"The red phone box in Britain is a perfect example of the British traditional culture."可知正确答案为B.
66.D  推断题.由第一段最后一句"In order to save their loved red phone boxes,people have thought up many ideas,for example,to turn them into toilets or art houses."可知,人们已经想出许多办法来保护红色电话亭,接着第二段第一句"In a village in Somerset,a place in South West England,villagers have found a novel way to save their red phone box."作者写道,在一些地方,一些村民找到了 novel 的方法来保护红色电话亭,由此推断,novel 意为"新的",与之前的方法相对应,故正确答案为D.
67.B  细节题.由第二段第二句"They turned it into a mini library to cope with the shortage of libraries in their area."可知正确答案为B.
68.C  细节题.由第二段倒数第二句"Over 100 books and a variety of movies and music CDs are available at this tiny library."可知,红色电话亭里有书和音像制品.再由第三段第一句"People can put the books that they have read inside the phone box,and take away the books that they'd like to read."可知,书可以被借出.C项符合文意,故正确答案为C.

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.

16.Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam,a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched(伸出的).Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes (36)A.She never (37)Dto return my smile,my grasp,and my greeting.
On the last day of our (38)B,I found myself (39)B on a busy corner across the street from our hotel.Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me.We had been advised to walk(40)C  through the heavy traffic without looking right or left.Let them (41)A us.But tonight I was by myself and felt (42)B to face the stream of vehicles.(43)C I hesitated on the sidewalk,I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me.She nodded her head toward the street,(44)D that she would take me across.Together,we moved slowly into the chaos.
Then we moved on (45)D the sidewalk,where she pulled my face down to hers,kissed me on both cheeks,and then walked away,still smiling and waving back to me.I had not given her a single coin.We had (46)B something vastly more important-a warming of hearts in friendship.
Traveling in poorer nations,I have (47)D a variety of ways to deal with beggars.The most (48)D response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to (49)A them and focus their eyes elsewhere.I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in (50)C.A few may hurriedly drop a few coins,and then make a quick getaway in hopes that another 20ragged beggars won't immediately appear on the (51)D.
For many reasons,giving money is not the best (52)Bto an outstretched hand.The greatest gift is time and respect.To look beggars in the eye and smile,thus acknowledging their existence,is a small thing.Putting your hand into another's outstretched hand and grasping it (53)Afor a moment is also a small thing.But these are important.Everyone needs (54)A,to be seen as worthy of being (55)D,to feel appreciated and loved.And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.

20.Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white.Westerners think of dragons as monsters.Chinese honor them as symbols of God.Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对立)with the West,as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string.Now in the University if California,Berkeley,a psychologist,has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.
His findings go gar toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive,when compared to each other.More importantly,the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways.The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth,said Kaiping Peng,a former Beijing Scholar,who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology.And Americans could profit enormously from he Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life,he said.
"Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,"said Peng."The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don't need to find the truth,or maybe there isn't any."Chinese people,said Peng,are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages,because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions.They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans,he added.
In studies of interpersonal argument,for example,when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school,Peng found that Americans were"non-compromising,blaming one side-usually the mother-for the causes of the problems,demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise"in dealing with the conflict.Compared to this angry,blaming American method,the Chinese were paragons(模范)of compromise,finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle.

67.In Paragraph 1,the author sets examples in order toB.
A.expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans
B.show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture
C.find the reason for the differences
D.generalize the main idea of the passage
68.Compared with Americans,Chinese areD.
A.likely to find the truth in life
B.unwilling to admit their own failure
C.unwilling to have a general idea of things
D.likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things
69.The studies showC.
A.an American treats his or her mother badly
B.different ideas of treating the aged
C.different personality of Chinese and Americans
D.different conflicts of Americans and Chinese
70.The main idea of the passage isA.
A.polarities between American and Chinese cultures
B.extreme ends of the string
C.different attitudes towards the aged
D.different manners in social occasions.

10.Hidden in our subconsciousness(潜意识)is a perfect mental picture.We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent.We are traveling by train.Out the windows,we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways,of children waving at a crossing,of cattle feeding on a distant hillside,of smoke pouring from a power plant,or row upon row of corn and wheat,of flat lands and valleys,of mountains and rolling hills,of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.On a certain day at a certain hour,we will pull into the station.Bands will be playing and flags waving.Once we get there,so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle.How restlessly we pace the aisles,condemning(谴责)the minutes for loitering(虚度)-waiting,waiting,waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station,that will be it!"we cry."When I'm 38.""When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the debt!""When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of rement,I shall live happily ever after!"
Sooner or later,we must realize there is no station,no one place to arrive at once and for all.The true joy of life is the trip.The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish(appreciate) the moment"is a good motto,actually it isn't the burdens of today that drive man mad.It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow.Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles.Instead,climb more mountains,eat more icecream,swim more rivers,watch more sunsets,laugh more and cry less.Life must be lived as we go along.Then the station will come soon enough.
63.Why does the author describe the mental picture?D    
A.To lead us into a perfect world.
B.To let people enjoy the scenery.
C.To introduce an actual trip of his.
D.To compare it to our life's journey.
64.How do people feel when they're on their trip?D
A.Puzzled.B.Happy.C.Relaxed.D.Impatient.
65.What does the author mean by"Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of
today"in Line 2 Paragraph 5?C
A.Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
B.We must be careful of the two thieves:regret and fear.
C.Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D.We're frequently challenged by the two:regret and fear.
66.Why does the author write the passage?B
A.To teach us a good lesson.
B.To tell us the right attitude to life.
C.To advise us to forget our worries.
D.To stop us wandering along the aisles.

17.This is a dangerous world we live in.The number of murders goes up every year,people are dying of cancer,more people contract HIV,more teens are using drugs,etc.You know this because you have heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper.But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean?The numbers are growing up,but how do they compare to the growth in population?Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques,or are the diseases more common?The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.
This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous.For example,several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide.This chemical,found in most cancerous tumors(肿瘤),is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol,and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once.After reading his report,more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical!Every one of the above statements is true,yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth.The students made the mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics,rather than the chemical's full background.
The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said.When one finds a new fact or number,one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths.Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view,and will leave out information that is different to his view.For example,look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe.Only 32people may die each year when skiing,while 897die from lightning strikes,but which is really the most dangerous?If you think about it,you realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people who are in danger of a lightning strike.When you think about it,skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at statistics.If we teenagers are to be left in this world,we had better be able to think critically,and form our own views,rather than be easily persuaded by another's.To be warned is to be prepared.

47.In the first paragraph,what problem does the writer want to warn us?C
A.We are now living in a dangerous world.
B.We get a lot of false statistics from the media.
C.Statistics alone without full background doesn't give us an accurate pictures of things.
D.There are around us more and more murders,diseases,etc.
48.Why does the writer use the example in the second paragraph?B
A.To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.
B.To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.
C.To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.
D.To warn us of the harmful substance around us.
49.Relative information is often left out becauseC.
A.Relative information is not that important.
B.too much information will make readers feel confused.
C.the author is trying to show what he or she says is true.
D.readers are not able to analyze so much information at once.
50.What can we learn from the passage?A
A.We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.
B.Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.
C.The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.
D.Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.

14.You are busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; lets assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree.Isn't it tempting to lie just a little,to claim on the form that your diploma (文凭)represents a Harvard degree?Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to an utter deception (欺骗)like this to land their first job or to move ahead in their careers.For personnel officers'like most Americans'value degrees from famous schools.A job applicant may have a good education anyway,but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars(学籍管 理员)at most well-known colleges say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms.If it turns out that an applicant is lying,most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly.One Ivy League school refers to them as"special cases."One well-known West Coast school,in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all,says these claims are made by"no such people."
To avoid complete lies,some job seekers claim that they"attended"or"were associated with"a college or university.After careful checking,a personnel officer may discover that"attending"means being dismissed after one semester.It may be that"being associated with"a college means that the job~seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend.One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century that's when they began keeping records,anyhow.
If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth,there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma.One company,with offices in New York and on the West Coast,will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges.The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from"Smoot State University."The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the"University of Purdue."As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University,the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.
68.The writer mainly wants to tell us thatC,
A.college degrees can now be purchased easily
B.nowadays it is very hard for people to find jobs
C.lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problem
D.employers are no longer interested in applicants'actual performances
69.As used in the first line of the second paragraph,the word"utter"meansA
A.thorough B.careful C.incomplete D.spoken
70.Once finding applicants with false diplomas,most colleges would.C
A.keep the records of them
B.drive the them out of college
C.avoid direct conflicts with them
D.accuse them of such behaviors
71•We can Ieam from the passage thatA.
A.US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universities
B.University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school
C.people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in US easily
D.people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universities.

15.Linden Wolbert on What It's Like to Be a Real-Life Mermaid
    Many little girls dream of swimming with or meeting a mermaid,but Linden Wolbert actually left her day job to become one.
"I have always been attracted to water,"she said in an interview."Not just because of the animals that live in it,but because I feel so comfortable swimming in it.I just was always a swimmer and loved to be in the water."
    After three years of working 9 to 5 as a residence director for Emerson College,"I was just daydreaming over every single lunch break about being in the water and among the fish,"she said.As an experienced swimmer and scuba diver,Wolbert also loves free diving,in which you dive as deep as you can and swim back up to the surface in a single breath-perfect training for a professional life as a mermaid.She made the change from office worker to mermaid in 2005 and hasn't looked back since.
  Though Wolbert,32,loved movies like"The Little Mermaid"and"Splash"as a kid,she says that she really spent most of her time watching the wildlife documentary(纪录片)."My goal was to become an underwater wildlife documentary filmmaker like Jacques Cousteau,"she says-and she also works in the Los Angeles area as an advisor on underwater photo and video shoots.When special-effects artist Allan Holt asked her to help him with an underwater music video a few years ago,she mentioned that she'd always wanted an artificial mermaid tail but didn't know where to find one.
    With the help of advanced technology,Holt ended up making a 35-pound,6-foot-long tail for her,sealing a fish tail inside high-quality rubber,hand-making the scales(鱼鳞),and creating a detailed copy of Wolbert's body.It took seven months to complete and cost approximately $15,000.
    She also produces and stars in her own internet show,"The Mermaid Minute",in which she teaches kids about the oceans and the creatures that live in them.
"I am a smart science mermaid."she said."And working with children is my favorite."
