10．Since Brandon was a kid，he has loved playing baseball．For him，baseball，was and still is his life and his impetus and drive for staying in school．
    But as Brandon got older，he started making bad choices．He cut classes，hung out with the wrong friends and got suspended（被停学）often．His grandmother took care of the family and his mom worked 12-hour shifts at a car lot，doing everything she could to provide for the family．
    Dr．Decmona Warren，a teacher of a Communities In Schools（CIS），saw the signs but when she tried to help，Brandon wouldn't take it．"When I heard her call my name，I would nearly run away．"Brandon said later．
    His GPA（平均成绩）fell to a 1.4 and Brandon was kicked out of the baseball team．He knew if he wanted to play baseball，he had to stop acting like that．Determined to become successful both on the field and in the classroom，Brandon decided to embrace the support from Communities In Schools．He turned to Dr．Warren，who welcomed him as a CIS student with open arms．From tutoring to parent-teacher conferences，he allowed Dr．Warren to become his"school mom"，and slowly，things started to turn around．
"GIS of Atlanta has made a big difference in my life．This program has taught me to think before I act and make better choices in choosing friends．Before CIS it seemed like every week I was either out of school or in school suspension．Once when I was an honor student in middle school，I found myself failing miserably in almost all of my classed as a freshman in high school．But with the help of CIS I am now back on track，more focused and determined to do better in my academics and behavior．"
    He's back on the team now playing in the Catcher position，with a 2.8 GPA．He is already looking at colleges for baseball scholarships．

34．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
A．one can never be too old to learn
B．every man is the architect of his own future
C．barking dogs seldom bite
D．almost no man can do two things at once
35．What may be the best title for the passage？D

B．Brandon，Grateful to GIS for Its Financial Support
C．Brandon，The Beast Baseball Player from GIS
D．Brandon，Back on the Baseball Team Again．

分析本文写了Brandon因为成绩不好而被踢出棒球队，由于对棒球的热爱，Brandon通过努力学习提高了学习成绩而重返球队的故事．

解答 32．D 猜测词义题．根据文中句子For him，baseball，was and still is his life and his impetus and drive for staying in school对他来说，棒球一直以来都是他的生命，也是驱使他留在学校的动力．所以猜测这个单词意义是 Motivation"动机，动力"，所以答案选D．

1．The world is filled with smart，talented，educated and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5percent of Americans earn more than 100，000ayear．Abusinessconsultantwhospecializesinthemedicaltradewastellingmehowmanydoctorsanddentistsstrugglefinancially．Itwasthisbusinessconsultantwhogavemethephrase，"Theyareoneskillawayfromgreatwealth．"Thereisanoldsayingthatgoes，"Jobmeans"justoverbroke（破产And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers"live within their means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．
     When I ask the classes I teach，"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？"almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？"The answer is obvious：McDonald's is excellent at business systems．The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．

25．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show thatC．
A．he has a sharp sense of hearing
B．he is ready to help others
C．he is just one of the talented people
D．he knows little about car repairing
26．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by"D"．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle
D．live within what they earn
27．Why do talented people earn so little according to the author？A
A．They lack financial intelligence．
B．They don't work hard enough．
C．They don't make full use of their talents．
D．They have no specialized skills．
28．The main purpose of the author is to tell usD．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．what schools should teach students
C．how McDonald's makes much money．
D．why so many talented people are poor．

18．How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn't have to be as difficult as it might seem．The trick is to be patient，straightforward，and to remember that deaf people communicate visually．Before you know it，you'll forget you were ever worried!
Method 1：Staring Your Conversation
（36）AYou can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance，or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder．If it's a real emergency，you can also turn the lights off and on quickly．
Position yourself carefully．Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face，and that you're not standing with your back to a light．（37）E
Fid out how the person prefers to communicate．Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others．Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter．Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods．（38）F
Method 2：Communicating through Lip-reading．
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language．（39）GThe more complex your phrasing and vocabulary，the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something．Try to avoid using slang or expressions that aren't widely known．
When someone else is speaking，don't turn away from the deaf person in your group．（40）DYou don't have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking，but try to make sure your face is visible．

A．Get the person's attention．
B．It's important not talk too quickly．
C．Or，they'll miss parts of the conversation．
D．If so，it'll make them feel left out of the conversation．
E．Stand directly in front of the person，at a normal distance．
F．The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask．
G．Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning．

5．Are you a team player？
    We hear a lot about team building these days．Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other．And they organize awaydays（息工日）-a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace．
    Here in the UK，employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking'dead people'．For the brainier office workers amongst us there are crime investigations modelled on popular TV dramas like Sherlock Holmes and CSI．
Stressed-out city workers might have ukulele lessons made available to them．Why is that a good team-building exercise？Ukulele teacher Lorraine Bow says："The fact that they can play a musical instrument within an hour is quite a fulfilling thing，really．It's not competitive-it's quite easy to do and a bit less intimidating than a guitar…"
    Actually，a horse might be a bit more intimidating than an instrument．The animals are used by a company in Abu Dhabi which teaches leadership through horse training．Basically，you have to go in a yard with a horse and persuade it that you're the boss by using body language．
    Kelly Eide，co-founder of True Leadership，says："The horses don't care if your hair is purple，if you're a man or a woman，if you're old or young…It transcends all of those cultural boundaries-age，gender，religion，tradition etc．-so that's a perfect fit．And in an organization where you really need groups of people togel，who come from backgrounds which have no common norms，you can teach that most efficiently with a horse．"
     And the horse feels instinctively whether or not you are a natural leader．So if after you've done a good presentation your boss offers you a carrot，you'll know where he might have learnt it from．

24．What are awaydays for？B
A．To gather employees to join a meeting on how to work more effectively with each other．
B．To building team spirit among people who work for the same company．
C．To criticize employer who have not satisfied outstanding achievement．
D．To teach people how to make term more united．
25．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．The one in which you learn to'kill'Zombies is more physically demanding．
B．Ukulele lessons are designed for people who are highly intelligent．
C．Stressed-out city workers both have ukulele lessons made available to them．
D．A horse must be a bit more intimidating than an instrument．
26．How long does it take for you to learn how to play the ukulele？A
A．One hour             B．Two-hour      C.15minutes      D．half hour
27．We can infer that the word"gel"（Line 4，Para5）refers toC．
A．invitation             B．recreate        C．cooperate       D．help．

15．Have you ever wondered that we parents are the true fighters in the college-admission wars？We are pushing our kids to get good grades，take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes so they can get into the college of our first choice．In our eyes，a degree from Stanford or Princeton is the ticket for life．We see our kids'college background as something showing how well or how poorly we've raised them．But we don't realize we are selfish．We think more about ourselves than the kids．
It's true getting into college has generally become tougher because the number of high school graduates has grown．We suffer great anxiety； we worry there won't be enough honors to show off．Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever．We hold the belief that graduates of best universities must enjoy more success because they get a better education．All that is seemingly acceptable-and mostly wrong．
"We haven't found any convincing evidence that a prestigious university（名牌大学） matters，"says Ernest T．Pascarella of the University of Iowa，co-author of"How College Affects Students"，an 827-page report of hundreds of studies of the college experience．
According to some studies，graduates of prestigious universities do earn much money．But even this seems like just a coincidence．
Kids count more than their colleges． Getting into Yale may mean intelligence，talent and ambition．But there are many other things that are equally important．The reason：so many similar people go elsewhere．Getting into college isn't life's only competition．In the next competition，the results may change．Princeton economists Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph．D．program．High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in； degrees of prestigious universities didn't．
So，parents，lighten up．America is a competitive society； our kids need to adjust to that but too much pushiness can be destructive．The very ambition we place on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment．They may have been so accustomed to being on top that anything less disappoints them．

32．Parents are the true fighters in the college-admission wars，probably becauseB．
A．they make more preparations than their children．
B．they focus on the results more than their children．
C．they decide which university fits their children best．
D．they think more about themselves than their children．
33．The writer believes that in the present USAC．
A．a top college means a bright future
B．children suffer greater anxiety now than in the past
C．being admitted to college has become more and more difficult
D．children should apply to more schools than ever to enter a top college
34．What is the meaning behind the sentence"kids count more than their colleges"？D
A．Continuing education is more important to a person's success．
B．A person's happiness should be valued more than their education．
C．What kids learn at college cannot match job market requirements．
D．Kids'actual abilities are more important than their college background．
35．What does Krueger's study suggest？B
A．Getting into Ph．D．programs may be more competitive than getting into college．
B．Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs．
C．Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores．
D．Connections built in prestigious universities may be kept long after graduation．

2．For those who have no access to clean water，the phrase"a thirst for knowledge"may soon have a new meaning．Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can make water safe to drink．The researchers say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world．
    An estimated 600 to 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean．The water is infected with harmful bacteria or other pollutants．But researcher Teri Dankovich has developed a special book that could turn dirty water into clean，drinkable water．The book contains 25 pages．Each page is about one millimeter thick．The pages contain very small particles （微粒） of silver．The pages can be used as filters （过滤器） to remove harmful microorganisms that can pollute drinking water．The filter kills the organisms that pass through it．Ms．Dankovich says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water．Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read．The pages are made of filter paper．They are designed to be torn from the book．Water can be poured through the paper to be decontaminated．
    Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh，Ghana and South Africa．The tests proved to be successful．At the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston，Ms．Dankovich was asked whether she has considered adding classic literature on the book's pages．"The idea of classical texts-that's of interest maybe later．But we have discussed a little bit more exciting text．But we really haven't had the time to go through that part，"she laughed．
Water for Life，a non-governmental organization，has provided financial support for the project．It costs just pennies per page to produce each book．

19．How to Manage Your Phone's Data Use

17．I believe that we should talk to strangers．By talking with strangers，our lives can be affected in ways that are unusual．
I worked in a restaurant in Chicago，and I spent most of my time on work and hardly joined in"real"conversations．I didn't talk to unknown people．Similarly，I never knew the name of the woman I rode the train with every day，but the process ended in a life-changing way．
One night，an old man，probably in his eighties，came in and sat beside me．I noticed that he came in week after week and always sat beside me．Slowly，I began having short conversations with him．His name was Mr．Rodgers．I learned that he and his wife had gone to dinner and watched a movie every Saturday．After she died，he carried on the tradition alone．I began looking forward to his coming in and telling me his stories．
As the weeks went on，I began to enjoy talking with Mr．Rodgerrs．We talked about his wife，his days flying in the war，and his son who had grown up and moved away．Eventually，we began to talk about my dream and my experience．
About four months after meeting Mr．Rodgers，I received a call from a nurse telling me that Mr．Rodgers was in hospital．He was experiencing an emergency heart surgery．I immediately drove to the hospital to see him．The first thing he did was thank me for helping him so much in his life．At first I didn't know what he was referring to．Then I remembered that about three weeks earlier，he was complaining about chest pains and I gave him the telephone number of a doctor I know．
After meeting Mr．Rodgers，I have learned that strangers can become friends and that life can be much more enjoyable．I recently find myself really talking to customers at the restaurant．I have had a lot more fun，and the time has gone by faster．
