19.[1]Twenty-five years ago in San Diego,Karen Lange was asked by her neighbor,the husband  of a woman who had unknowingly picked up HIV,for help.Everyone else had turned their back  on the couple and the husband was desperate.Despite only knowing them for a short time,Karen agreed.
[2]The woman was in the last stages of a life.By her side,spending time with her and caring for her,was not her family,not her friends,but her next-door neighbor.In those moments,Karen's personal purpose in life became clear as she realized the major difference that we as individuals can have on another person's life.
[3]After her friend passed,Karen became involved in a local grass-roots organization called Mama's Kitchen,delivering meals to the critically ill,and eventually becoming a Board Member.She says that shethrew her energy in volunteering as a way to"help me feel better after her death and all the pain that I had seen."
[4]After a few moves around the country,Karen landed in Baltimore.At that time,some aspects of her life were‘‘difficult,''and she was working hard to get"out of a rut."Despite focusing on eating right,exercising,and trying to surround herself with positive people,she stayed in this rut,until she returned to volunteering.
[5]"It was volunteering at Moveable Feast that finally helped my soul and heart to heal,"Karen recalled.She found in the Bahimore-based nonprofit the same task as Mama's Kitchen in San Diego-to            people living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening conditions.
[6]That is Karen's true gift-to be proof that giving of our own resources,especially our time,can have a massive life-changing impact on the lives of others,while also showing that volunteering helps you become a healthier,more positive person.

分析 本文为记叙类.介绍了Karen Lange 她从事志愿者工作来帮助那些身患重病的陌生人,以及告诉我们志愿者工作对其他人有一个重要的影响同时也让从事志愿者工作的人更加健康积极.

解答 66.He was picked up HIV  unknowingly.第一段的第一句话"the husband  of a woman who had unknowingly picked up HIV"可以看出,她的邻居莫名的感染了艾滋病.
67.It helped her soul and heart to heal.第五段开头"It was volunteering at Moveable Feast that finally helped my soul and heart to heal"提到从事志愿者工作帮助了她洗涤心灵治愈创伤.
68.devoted herself to"threw her energy in"指奉献,致力于,类似"devote…to../dedicate..to..".
69.provide food to 根据"the Bahimore-based nonprofit the same task as Mama's Kitchen in San Diego"这句话,看出the Bahimore和 Mama's Kitchen 类似,都是给需要的人提供"delivering meals to the critically ill".
70.Volunteering can have a massive life-changing impact on the lives of others./Volunteering helps you become a healthier,more positive person.
根据最后一段"That is Karen's true gift-to be proof that giving of our own resources,especially our time,can have a massive life-changing impact on the lives of others,while also showing that volunteering helps you become a healthier,more positive person."可以很容易概括出答案.

10.Businesses are witnessing a difficult time,which has in turn produced influence on consumers'desire to go green.However,shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago,while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves.And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly.Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies,with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company's environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison,chief executive of the Carbon Trust,sympathizes:"I understand this situation where survival is very important now.But from environmental considerations,the clock is ticking-we don't have much time.In addition,cutting carbon emission (排放) has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand."
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint,as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions.Those that have taken early action will have a head start.More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible.This suggests that firms that are able to convey clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing."When companies are granted the standard,they can use a logo in all their marketing,which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,"Mr.Morrison said.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS.)

78.According to the passage,what is likely to influence shops on what to sell?Customers'environmental concerns
79.A company may lose its regular customers unlessit is environmentally responsible.
80.According to Harry Morrison,businesses will benefit fromcutting carbon emission.
81.According to the last two paragraphs,companies can gain advantages byinforming customers about what they are doing towards cutting emissions.

14.Since IQ testing began a century ago,women have been as much as five points behind,leading psychologists to suggest genetic differences between the male and the female.
That gap has been narrowing in recent years and this year women have moved ahead.
The finding has been made by James Flynn,a world-famous expert on IQ tests."In the last 100 years,the IQ scores of both men and women have risen but women's have risen faster,"said Flynn."This is a result of modernity.The complex modern world is making our brains adapt and raising our IQs."
One possible explanation is that women's lives have become more demanding as they multitask between raising a family and doing a job.Another might be that women have a slightly higher potential intelligence than men and are only now realizing it.
Flynn also made the great discovery that scores in western countries increased by roughly three points a decade,which means people today get 30 more points than those living 100 years ago and that IQs can be improved.
Flynn conducted new IQ tests in western European countries,America,Canada,New Zealand,Argentina and Estonia,which showed that the gap between men and women had become very small.In New Zealand,Estonia and Argentina,women scored slightly higher than men.
Maybe because of this,many women have exchanged the role with their husband in family life.Helena Jamieson,33,works a full-time job and her husband,Luke,37,is a stay-at-home father.Helena said,"I'm definitely the more intellectual person in the relationship and I'm at work full-time rising up the career ladder while he is raising our daughter."
She added,"In the past,men would look down on me,thinking that I was a woman and not as smart as them.But today,things have changed.I think women probably always know secretly deep down that they are the more intelligent ones-but as the gentler sex,we were just quiet about it in the past and let men believe that they ruled the world."
33.In the psychologists'view,what led to women getting lower scores than men in IQ tests?B
A.Family genes
B.Genetic differences.
C.Educational levels
D.Job positions.
34.Helena's words in the last paragraph show thatA.
A.women may have been thinking they are smarter
B.men have the right to continue ruling the world
C.things have changed and men have got less clever
D.women were looked down upon,for they were quiet
35.The main idea of the passage is thatD.
A.wives now serve as breadwinners while husbands raise children
B.people today are much smarter than those living 100 years ago
C.in western countries,women scored higher than men in IQ tests
D.women's IQ has risen faster and has even gone beyond men's.

4.Was the London Olympics a success?Many people hold different opinions.However,one thing is certain,London could win a gold medal for hosting the"greenest"Games ever,BBC News reported.
Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction,waste and transport.But things had to be different in London.
What is most impressive is that London considered the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas.2 million tons of polluted soils were removed and 200 old factory buildings were torn down,according to sustainablebusiness.com.But that's not all.99 percent of the debris(废瓦砾)were reused to build the Olympic Park.
As well as using recycled materials,all gymnasiums were built with green building techniques.The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built,which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed.Also,the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent.
The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise.Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater.In this way,about 30-40 percent less water was used in total.Waste food package were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy.
As one of the best connected places in Europe,London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport.For example,it had trains deliver half of the building materials,instead of cars,which greatly reduced carbon emissions(排放).
The clean anti-doping result also added to the greenness of the Games.Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing,which is why the IOC President,Jacques Rogge,has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games.
32.To make the Olympic Park green,LondonB.
A.recycled 2 million tons of polluted soil
B.applied green building techniques to the construction
C.built the Olympic Stadium mostly with recycled materials
D.removed 99 percent of the debris from the city
33.The underlined word"minimized"in the fourth paragraph probably meansC.
A.increased as much as possible   
B.made use of
C.reduced as much as possible
D.took little notice of
34.What can we conclude from the article?C
A.The London Olympics cost less than the other Olympics ever held.
B.London has possessed the most advanced techniques to deal with waste.
C.Public transport is made good use of in London during the Olympic Games.
D.The anti-doping result in the London Olympics turned out to be dissatisfactory.
35.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?B
A.The effort that London made to deal with waste isn't worthy of praise.
B.In terms of holding the greenest Games,the London Olympics was a success.
C.London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of private cars for free.
D.The IOC President,Jacques Rogge was unsatisfied with the anti-doping efforts at the London Games.

11.Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence-and a not-so-good influence-on this generation of American teenagers.More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a"mostly positive"effect on their students'research habits and skills.But 64 percent said the technologies"do more to distract(使------分心) students than to help them academically."And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an"easily distracted generation with short attention spans."
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project.Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report.Ms.Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster."Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging.Young people favor these tools.The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content,and not just sort of consumers."
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy.They trust too muck of the information they find on the Internet.Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information."It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to.Because in a world in which things happen quickly,you do need to step back,reflect and analyze the information you have."
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all:being able to quickly find information online.Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
32.The text mainly tells usD.
A.all the students use digital tools
B.the Internet is playing a key role
C.teachers encourage using digital tools
D.digital tools bring about benefits and problems
33.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?A

34.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably meansD
A.students do not have the right digital tools
B.students do not always have access to the Internet
C.students haven't the ability to adjust themselves
D.students can't judge online information properly
35.Some students don't tend to work hard becauseA
A.they can get answers on the Internet quickly
B.printed books and libraries around aren't enough
C.the Internet can't make students concentrate
D.they can copy each others'work without being punished.
