    【试题分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了一旦我们的各种活动成为我们日常生活必须做的事情时，无论是哪个年龄段的人都会感到无聊而半途而废了。接下来具体说明了从小孩子、到青少年、再到成年人、到老人都会有这种情况出现。
    小题1:A。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。事实上，我们可以看到这个法则在起作用。此处principle法则；habit习惯；way方式、方法；power力量。只有principle和第一句话中的rule意思接近。故选A。
    小题2:D。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。后面详细描述了不同年龄的人的情况，因此可知本句话的意思是：其实，我们在不同年龄的人在工作时都会看出这一点。此处parties党、聚会；B.races竞赛；countries国家；ages年龄。故选D。
    小题3:C。考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。例如，在圣诞节的早晨，孩子们兴奋地玩他们的新玩具。此处working工作；living和…一起生活；playing 玩；going去。短语 play with的意思是玩弄……。故选C。
    小题4:B。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。根据语境可知，但是孩子们对这些玩具的兴趣很快就越来越少了。此处confidence自信；interest兴趣；anxiety焦虑；sorrow悲伤。故选B。
    小题5:A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。到一月份可以发现同样的那些玩具就被放在了地下室里。此处same相同的；extra额外的；funny好玩的；expensive贵的。the same同一个的，说明还没持续几天兴趣就没了。故选A。
    小题6:D。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。这个世界充满了装了一半的集邮册和为完成的模型，此处well-organized 组织好的；colorfully-printed涂得五颜六色的；newly-collected新收集来的；half-filled完成一半的。这里又是一个不能把兴趣保持下去的例子。所以最佳选D。
    小题7:B。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。每一个都如一个立在那里的纪念碑来纪念某个人短暂的兴趣。此处broad宽的；passing短暂的；different 不同的；main主要的。如果知道passing的意思是短暂的。那么选B就很容易了。
    小题8:C。考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。当父母带回家一只宠物，他们的孩子高高兴兴地给它洗澡、给它刷毛。此处silently安静地；impatiently 不耐烦地；gladly高兴地；worriedly担心地。小孩子对宠物很感兴趣，所以选C最能表达这里的意思。
    小题9:B。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。然而，很快照顾动物的责任就交给父母。此处promise承诺；burden负担、责任；right权利；game游戏。如果兴趣变成了每天必做的是，孩子就坚持不下去了。当然照顾宠物的责任就由父母来承担了。
    小题10:D。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。青少年进入高中时很激动。此处courage勇气；calmness平静； confusion 混淆；excitement激动。根据常识可知，一开始进入新环境人们应该是兴奋、激动的。故选D。
    小题11:A。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。但是很快就盼着毕业了。此处graduation毕业；independence独立；responsibility责任；success成功。但是有的人不能坚持，过不久就盼着毕业离开了。只有A符合语境。
    小题12:C。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。前面根据年龄提到小孩子、十多岁的青少年、青年人。接下来应该说成年人了。成年人抱怨要开好长时间的车去上班。此处children孩子们；students学生；adults成年人；retirees退休人员。故选C。
    小题13:B。考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。和前面的人们一样，他们一开始拿到驾驶证时多么渴望一次开上几个小时。此处carefully小心地；eagerly渴望地、急切地；nervously紧张地；bravely勇敢地。故选B。
    小题14:B。考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。他们一开始拿到驾驶证时多么渴望一次开上几个小时。此处required需要；obtained获得；noticed注意；discovered发现。只有B符合语境。
    小题15:D。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。在退休前人们经常计划着做很多的事。此处need需要；learn学；start开始；plan计划。对未来生活的憧憬应该用plan更合适。故选D。
    小题16:A。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。在退休前人们经常计划着做很多伟大的事。此处great 伟大的；strange奇怪的；difficult困难的；correct正确的。结合前面的例子可知，自己以前没有做成的事，一开始总是觉得很伟大，很了不起。故选A。
    小题17:A。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。这些事在工作期间都没有时间去做。此处time时间；money钱；skills技能；knowledge知识。等到退休了再去做，应该是以前忙于工作而没有时间做。故选A。
    小题18:D。考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。但是退休后不久，打高尔夫、钓鱼、读书和所有其他的消遣方式都变得无聊了。此处only仅仅；well好；even甚至；soon不久。这里表达兴趣一旦变成每天必须做的事时，老人也一样难以坚持。故选D。
    小题19:C。考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。这些想做的事就像他们离开的工作一样变得索然无味了。此处lost失去；chose选择；left剩下、离开；quit停止。leave work 离开工作岗位。故选C。  
    小题20:B。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。就像那个一月的孩子一样，他们又去寻找新的玩具了。此处pets宠物；toys玩具；friends朋友；colleagues同事。和一开始的例子一样。说明老人和小孩子一样没有长性。把老人比作孩子，那孩子玩的东西就是玩具了。故选B。

    The Home of My People

    When Lewis and Clark stepped onto the Weippe Prairie in present-day Idaho in September 1805, they met the Nez Perce Indians. In the following years, the white explorers（探险者）began to fight with the Indians for their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land.
    Other chiefs refused to go along with the government’s plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley（present-day Oregon）.
    “In order to have all people understand how much land we owned,” he once explained, “my father planted poles around it and said: ‘Inside is the home of my people…It circled around the graves（坟墓）of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man.’”
    But in 1874, the U.S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a reservation（保留地）. Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.
    Later fighting broke out between the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give in.
    56. Which historic site （on the map）lies in the south of today’s Nez Perce Reservation?
    A. Buffalo Eddy.             B. Dug Bar.
    C. Joseph Canyon Viewpoint.         D. Chief Looking Glass Camp.
    57. What can we learn about the Nez Perce lands from the map?
    A. They were in the state of Oregon.
    B. They have become a historic site.
    C. They have become much smaller.
    D. They were limited to the Wallowa Valley.
    58. From Paragraph 3, we know that the Indians wanted to ______.
    A. show off their land      B. keep their land
    C. turn their place into a graveyard      D. build their homes around the poles

    One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
    Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.
    Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
    The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
    It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
    The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
    If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
    小题1:What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident？
    A．She was not familiar with the road.
    B．It was dark and raining heavily then.
    C．The railway workers failed to give the signal.
    D．Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.
    小题2:The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.
    A．close hitB．heavy loss
    C．narrow escapeD．big mistake
    小题3:Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
    A．Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
    B．Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
    C．Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
    D．GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.
    小题4:In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.
    A．one-sidedB．reasonable
    C．puzzlingD．well-based
    小题5:What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
    A．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
    B．The relationship between human and technology.
    C．The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
    D．The human unawareness of technical problems.

    Being young is great. Most of the parts of your body still work great, you have a full head of hair, you’re energetic, and you have a world of opportunity in front of you. However, there’s going to come a time when you start to get older. And as you get older, you’ll have new responsibilities, complete independence, and perhaps most importantly, less time to recover from mistakes.
    You see, we all make mistakes in life. Maybe you spent more money than you should have on a car, you passed up on a great job opportunity, or you didn’t try as hard as you could have in school. It’s a part of life and we learn from it. But there are certain mistakes that are much better made while you’re still young and have plenty of time to recover.
    I’m definitely not telling you that you should purposely go out and make these mistakes (because they’re a pain to recover from). But these are all mistakes that are much better made when you’re younger so that you can learn from them and not have them ruin your entire life.
    Starting the wrong career
    Wouldn’t you hate to be 45 years old and discover that you absolutely hate what you do for a living? It’s a reality that a lot of people face and it can be difficult to fix. You see, when you’re 23 and find out you don’t like the career path you’ve chosen, you can easily explore new career options.
    We no longer live in an age when people are expected to stay with one company until they retire. You can bounce around a little bit and find out what you want to do. When you get older, just switching careers whenever you want isn’t as simple.
    You have to consider your family, retirement, the difficulties you might run into with starting from the bottom in a new industry, and plenty of other issues that someone in their early 20’s just doesn’t have to deal with.
    Dating the wrong person
    The divorce rate in the U.S is extremely high. Other parts of the world aren’t doing too much better either. While everyone gets divorced for their own reasons, I think we can all agree that it’s better to find out that the person you’re with is wrong for you sooner rather than later.
    Hopefully you find out whether or not the person you’re with is right for you before you tie the knot, because around 50% of first marriages end in divorce.
    Messing up your credit
    Ruining your credit is never a good idea. Even if you ruin it while you’re young, it could affect you in the future. The upside of having bad credit while you’re young instead of older is that you have time to build it back up.
    It can take 7-10 years to rebuild your credit if you have a history of late payments, loan defaults, foreclosures, or bankruptcy. During those 7-10 years, you’ll have a hard time financing anything unless you have a cosigner or put down a substantial down payment.
    Most people tend to make most of the bigger purchases in life when they get older such as a house or their dream car. If you have bad credit, you can kiss all of that goodbye.
    Making bad investments
    If you’re investing money for your retirement, making bad decisions can mean you’ll be working your entire life. Whether you choose to pay someone to do the investing for you or handle it all yourself, it’s a lot better to take risks when you’re younger.
    If you invest in stock or even real estate while you’re young and the market takes a hit, you’re not ruined. Investing is a long-term venture, so the younger you start, the more fluctuation you can withstand and still come out with a positive return.
    Blowing your money
    What would you do if you went broke at 60 years old? You would be working your behind off when you really should be relaxing and getting ready to retire soon.
    But if you’re 25 and broke, you still have plenty of time to earn more money. Also, nobody will judge you because it’s not unusual for people in their 20’s to not have money these days. You might have blown your money on a nice car or have an obsession with all the newest gadgets.
    When you get older, you’ll be able to look back and realize how dumb you were for spending $20,000 on a brand new car when you were only 20 years old. But when you’re older and waste your money, you’ll REALLY have nothing to show for it.
    小题1:The following are all the advantages of being young EXCEPT ___________.
    A．you have more time to recover from mistakes
    B．most of the parts of your body still work great
    C．you have many responsibilities and complete independence
    D．you have a world of opportunity in front of you
    小题2:You can bounce around a little bit and find out what you want to do. “Bounce” in this sentence is most similar in meaning to __________.
    A．My father would burst into the kitchen bouncing a football.
    B．The wind was bouncing the branches of the big oak trees.
    C．I was an army brat, I always bounced a lot when I was young
    D．The ex-boxer's job is to bounce people who want to enter this private club.
    小题3: What does the author really mean by saying “it’s a lot better to take risks when you’re younger”?
    A．You should purposely go out and make these mistakes so that you can learn from them and not have them ruin your entire life.
    B．There are certain mistakes that are much better made while you’re still young and have plenty of time to recover.
    C．When you get older, you’ll have rich experiences to share with your friends and families however dumb you were
    D．The younger you start, the fewer risks you can withstand and still come out with a positive return.
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that ___________.
    A．about 50% of first marriages end in divorce in the U.S, much higher than other parts of the world
    B．never tie the knot before you make sure he or she will not divorce you
    C．it usually takes 7-10 years to rebuild one’s credit if it is broken for any reason
    D．it’s unusual for people in their 20’s to have money these days
    小题5:The author wrote this article mainly to tell the young ____________.
    A．if you are to take risks, the earlier, the better
    B．it’s better for the young to take any risk than the older
    C．that they should make big purchases such as a house when they get older
    D．if you don’t take risks when young, your youth will be dumb

    (Q =" Question;" A = Answer)
    Situation I
    Q: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?
    A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.
    Situation II
    Q: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?
    A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.
    Situation III
    Q: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?
    A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.
    Situation IV
    Q: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?
    A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."
    Situation V
    Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?
    A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.
    小题1:You will get annoyed in a theater when         .
    A．a person is too active
    B．a person is too rude to you
    C．a person talks too loudly

    小题3:The underlined word "belated" in Situation IV probably means      .
    A．predictedB．returnedC．cancelledD．delayed
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Modern ways to mind your manners.
    B．Different ways to change others' manners.
    C．Proper manners to offer help to others.
    D．Good manners to talk to people.

    Multitasking
    What is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
    But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sightsand sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
    A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.
    When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
    Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
    Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
    小题1:According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?
    A．Friendly assistant.B．Unique scents.
    C．Soft background musicD．attractive window display.
    小题2:E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .
    A．ashow the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
    B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
    C．push stores to use sights and sounds
    D．introduce the rise of e-commerce
    小题3:The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .
    A．a platform that exhibts goods
    B．a spot where travelers like to stay
    C．a place where customers love to go
    D．a target that a store expects to meet
    小题4:The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .

    When Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor, she checks her Blackberry at the door. “I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,” says Baxter, who’d rather focus at home on her husband and 12-year-old daughter. “It’s there and it beckons(召唤). That’s human nature (but)…we kind of get crazy sometimes and we don’t know where it should stop.”
    Americans are connected at unprecedented(前所未有的) levels—93% now use cell phones or wireless devices; one third of those are “smart phones” that allow users to browse the web and check e-mails, among other things. The benefits are obvious: checking messages on the road, staying in touch with friends and family, efficiently using time once spent waiting around. The downside: often, we’re effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.
    That’s why, despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever, 2010 was the year we stopped talking to one another. From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook from work or checking e-mails while on a date, the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention, not to mention social anxiety. Many analysts say it’s time to step back and reassess (再评价).
    “What we’re going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before,” says Scott Campbell. “It can be a good thing, but I also see new ways the traditional social construction is getting somewhat torn apart.”
    Our days are filled with beeps and pings—many of which pull us away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations. We may feel that the distractions(干扰) are too much, but we can’t seem to stop posting, texting or surfing. “We’re going through a period of adjustment and rebalancing, ” says Sherry Turkle and she wants to remind people that technology can be turned off. “Our human purposes are to really have connections with people,” she says. “We have to reclaim it. It’s not going to take place by itself.”
    小题1:According to Paragraph 1, Gretchen Baxter thinks _____.
    A．the new technology always influences people’s life in a positive way
    B．the new technology always influences people’s life in a negative way
    C．the family isn’t that important compared to the new technology
    D．people are too dependent on the new technology to let go
    小题2: The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
    A．advantage B．weakness
    C．strengthD．effect
    小题3: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The wide use of mobile devices has nothing to do with the traditional social construction.
    B．Mobile devices play a less important part in American life.
    C．Mobile devices create a lot of divided attention and social anxiety.
    D．Many analysts speak highly of the wide popularity of mobile devices.
    小题4: What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．Something must be done to get connection with people in reality again.
    B．Using mobile services can help people get con- nection with each other.
    C．Mobile services have a strong impact on people’s life.
    D．The connection with people can happen naturally.
