    Her life has one problem after another．Her husband had just lost his job while her only child had dropped out of high school．Even worse，he had left home．He told his mom he would call from time to time．but he hadn't called in two weeks．She was worried sick．She didn't know where he was．She didn't know if he was dead or alive．Her husband said she shouldn't worry．He had done the same thing when he was 17．But when he found out that life on the road wasn't as easy as he thought it was，he returned home and got his high school diploma （毕业证书）．

    C．Both Emily and her husband had no work to do．
    D．Husband and wife didn't love each other．
    58．Why did Emily's husband comfort her about their son？B
    A．Because he knew where their son was．
    B．Because he had the same experience when young．
    C．Because he didn't love his son as Emily did．
    D．Because he never minded where his son was．
    59．Why did Emily's husband then return home after he left home at a young age？D
    A．Because he had no money on him．
    B．Because he didn't get his high school diploma．
    C．Because he missed his parents very much．
    D．Because he found life wasn't as easy as he had imagined．

    分析 本文写了一个家庭里不高兴的事情接连发生，但是慢慢地都会变好，离家的儿子也回来了．

    解答 56．A  细节理解题，根据句子She liked Ellen who was a comedian and told good jokes；because Ellen's live show was usually on at 4o'clock．可以看出Ellen在节目中讲好的笑话，而且她的节目通常是在四点播出，所以答案选A．
    57．B 细节理解题，根据文中叙述Her husband had just lost his job while her only child had dropped out of high school她丈夫刚刚失业，而她唯一的孩子却辍学了．可见他家里不愉快的事情不止一件，所以答案选B．
    58．B 细节理解题，根据句子He had done the same thing when he was 17．他丈夫十七岁的时候做过同样的事情，所以答案选B．
    59．D 细节理解题，根据句子But when he found out that life on the road wasn't as easy as he thought it was但当他发现路上的生活并不像他想象的那么容易，他就回来了，所以答案选D．

    15．A failed plot to kill Barack Obama，uncovered by US federal agents recently，has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers．
    Two white American Neo-Nazi racists （新纳粹种族主义者） had planned to kill 88African Americans，before finally assassinating （暗杀） Obama．The number"88"is equated with"HH"，initials （首字母） for the Nazi greeting，"Heil Hitler"．"H"is the eighth letter of the alphabet．
    Many people were not familiar with the Neo-Nazi importance of 88，but associations attached to other numbers are more well-known，if not always believed．The number 13，for instance，is considered deeply unlucky．
    In the US，many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13．They instead label it 12A，or use the letter M，which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet．New York's John F．Kennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13．And the popular Irish flight carrier，Ryan Air，has banished （摒弃） row 13from all its planes．
    Last year when Brussels Airline put 13dots in their new logo，the flood of complaints was so vast the airline was forced to change their"unlucky logo"and add an additional dot．
    The fear comes from a Bible story，which states that Judas Iscariot，the disciple （门徒） who betrayed （出卖） Jesus，was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper．
    But the most fascinating fear of the number relates to Friday the 13th．It's a day of double bad luck．In the US，many people would not schedule a wedding for Friday the 13th．According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in the US，an estimated 17to 21million Americans are affected by a fear of this day．

    51．From the first two paragraphs，we can know thatC．
    A．a lot of Americans want to kill Barack Obama
    B．the number 88is equated with 13
    C．there are still racists in the US
    D．the two white Americans had killed 88African Americans before killing Barack Obama
    52．When you go aboard the Ryan Air，you will probably find thatD．
    A．row 13is replaced with 12A
    B．there is no gate 13
    C．passengers complain that there is 13dots on its logo
    D．none of their planes have row 13
    53．If you are in the US，you will probably notA．
    A．live on the 13th floor   B．attend a wedding on Saturday the 14th
    C．see a floor numbered 3   D．have an M floor
    54．From the passage，we can know that the Brussels AirlineB．
    A．doesn't have row 13                B．has 14dots on its logo
    C．has no flight take off on Fridays   D．was once stuck in a flood
    55．From the last paragraph but one，we can learn thatD．
    A．Jesus wrote the Bible
    B．Judas was the 13th disciple of Jesus
    C．Judas read a Bible story in the Last Supper
    D．Judas betrayed Jesus．

    20．One day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk．He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase．I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store．
    On the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties．His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in the next instant a beautiful，bright smile covered his face．I gave in immediately．The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding．
    "Beautiful day，isn't it？"I remarked，passing．Then I turned back．"I really owe you a debt of thanks，"I said softly．
    His smile deepened，but he made no attempt to answer．A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby．The woman stepped forward and volunteered，"Sir，but he doesn't speak English．Do you want me to tell him something？"In that moment I felt transformed．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stand ten feet tall．
    "Yes，"my reply was enthusiastic and sincere，"tell him I said，‘Thank you!'"
    "Thank you？"The woman seemed slightly puzzled．
    I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave．"Just tell him that，"I insisted．"He'll understand．I am sure!"
    Oh，what a smile can do!Although I have never seen that young man again，I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．From that day on，I became smile-conscious，and I practice the art diligently anywhere and everywhere，with everybody．

    C．he would thank the young man         D．he was still in a bad mood

    A．had helped the author before         B．taught the author how to smile
    C．taught the author a valuable lesson  D．was a kind employee of the store

    10．What Is a Boy？
        Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a"boy"．Boys come in different sizes，weights，and colors，but all boys have the same belief：to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．
    Boys are found everywhere-on top of，under，inside of，climbing on，swinging from，running around，or jumping to． Mothers spoil them，little girls hate them，older sisters and brothers love them，and God protects them． A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face，BEAUTY with a cut on its finger，WISDOM with chocolate in its hair，and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．
    When you are busy，a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise． When you want him to make a good impression，his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．
    A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse，the digestion of stones and sand，the energy of an atomic bomb，the curiosity of a cat，the imagination of a superman，the shyness of a sweet girl，the brave nature of a bull，the violence of a firecracker，but when you ask him to make something，he has five thumbs on each hand．
    He likes ice cream，knives，saws，Christmas，comic books，woods，water （in its natural habitat），large animals，Dad，trains，Saturday mornings，and fire engines． He is not much for Sunday schools，company，schools，books without pictures，music lessons，neckties，barbers，girls，overcoats，adults，or bedtime．
    Nobody else is so early to rise，or so late to supper． Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees，dogs，and breezes． Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife，a half eaten apple，a three-feet rope，six cents and some unknown things．
    A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams，he can mend them like new with two magic words，"Hi，Dad!"
    41．The whole passage is in a tone ofA．
    A．humor and affection                     
    B．respect and harmony
    C．ambition and expectation             
    D．confidence and imagination

    A．he has altogether five fingers              
    B．he is slow，foolish and clumsy
    C．he becomes clever and smart          
    D．he cuts his hand with a knife
    43．According to the writer，boys appreciate everything in the following exceptD．
    A．ice cream                          
    B．comic books        
    C．Saturday mornings                    
    D．Sunday schools
    44．What does the writer feel about boys？C
    A．He feels curious about their noise．     
    B．He is fed up with these creatures．
    C．He is amazed by their naughtiness．     
    D．He feels unsafe staying with them．

    17．Men have always believed that they are smarter than women．Now，a study has found that while this is certainly true，men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex．
    In the study，scientists measured the IQ of 2500brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent，but also in the bottom two percent．
    The study's participants were tested on science，maths，English and mechanical abilities．
    Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group，there were also twice as many men among the bottom．
    The aggregate（总数）scores of men and women were similar．
    One of the study's authors，psychology professor Timothy Bates，said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their homes．
    "The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground．，"the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates，of Edinburgh University，as saying．
    The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds．
    It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics．Women have always found to be steadier in their learning．
    A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds，while men are continuing to receive more thirds．
    The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach．

    61．The purpose of the passage is to tell us thatC．
    A．man are smarter then women
    B．man are more stupid the women
    C．a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
    D．men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
    62．According to Timothy Bates，less women are in the smartest group becauseB．
    A．they are born stupid
    B．they have to spend more time to tale care of their homes than men
    C．they don't like to take risk
    D．they are not expected to be high achievers
    63．The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph meansA．
    A．agree with      B．deal with     C．go against     D．go with
    64．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
    A．Women are steadier in their learning．
    B．men are more ready to take risk in everything
    C．women are securing more firsts and seconds
    D．women are doing much better in academy
    65．Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage？D．
    A．Why are men smarter than women？
    B．Why are men more stupid than women？
    C．How does the result go along with the past research？
    D．How can we help the men in the bottom？
