1.About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table,I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked,"So,how have you been?"And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-replied."Frankly,I've been feeling a little depressed lately."
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember,my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed",that is,in low spirits,until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don't seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults,dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states,but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social posifions.Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in stages;traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30years,however,a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information to all viewers allke,whether they are children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation(诱惑),many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging,more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print,as a matter of fact,allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain.Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.

41.According to the author,feeling depressed isD.
A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B.a mental state present in all humans,including children
C.something that cannot be avoided in children's mental development
D.something hardly to be expected in a young child
42.Traditionally,a child is supposed to learn about the adult worldB.
A.through connection with society     B.gradually and under guidance
C.naturally without being taught      D.through watching television
43.According to the author'that today's children seem adultlike results fromA.
A.the widespread influence of television
B.the poor arrangement of teaching content
C.the fast pace of human scientific development
D.the rising standard of living
44.What does the anthor think of communication through print for children?D
A.It enables children to gain more social information.
B.It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C.It helps chlldren to read and write well
D.It can control what children are to learn.
45.What does the author think of the change in today's children?B
A.He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.
B.He thinks the change worthy of note.
C.He considers it a rapid development.
D.He seems to be upset about it.

分析 文章讲述的是作者偶然听到孩子类似于成年人的对话,从而分析了孩子之所以成熟的原因和看法.

解答 41.D.细节理解题.根据第二段可知,作者认为对于如此小年龄的孩子来说,depressed 是很难想象的.
42.B. 推理批判答题.根据第五段Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in stages;traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.可知从传统意义上来讲,小孩子学会模仿成人的世界这个过程是耳濡目染,渐渐地并且受大人影响的.
43.A.细节理解题.根据第六段可知,作者认为是电视的普及,让孩子出现了这样的特征.
44.D.推理判断题.根据最后一段Communication through print,as a matter of fact,allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain可知,作者认为通过印刷的方式可以控制孩子所学的东西.
45.B.判断推理题.根据文章作者的口气和观点可以看出,他对孩子的这些变化感到焦虑,应当引起人们的重视.

点评 科教类阅读题材的通过叙述一个现象来揭示其社会意义.题目经常是细节的,阅读时思路要清晰.能抓住中心思想和段落大意,再进行合理的推断.

Thinking the gentleman (27)mightneed something to eat,I turned around and said to the gentleman,"Sir,are you hungry?"He said,"Yes."I then asked,"May we buy you something to eat?"He responded with,"Sure,I can order something myself."
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter.I told him to order (28)whatever/what he wanted.The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened.I spoke before he had an opportunity to say anything."This gentleman will have lunch with us today,"I said."Please add his order (29)to our bill."The manager said with a frown(皱眉),"Ok."We turned to our table and the gentleman said,loudly and quickly,"Thank you!"Soon we seated ourselves at the table and upon finishing our meal we (30)were handed our bill.I asked my husband what the gentleman (31)had ordered(order).One fresh orange juice,one coffee,one breakfast combination with a slide of hash browns.

Dear editor,
I'm Wang Ping.I'm writing to offer your newspaper an article Trying to Save Both for Natural Resources and the Environment.
Saving is very important because natural resources in our world may run out one day,so we should save some for our offspring.Meanwhile,saving can help us avoid producing waste,which will make our homeland more beautiful.As students,we should make our contributions.For example,we can recycle our textbooks or use both sides of our exercise books.In this way more trees would be saved.What's more,we Chinese have a good tradition of saving and regard wasting as a shame,so we call for everybody's action to save what we can to make our beautiful life last forever.
Best wishes
Yours sincerely.

6.Ride sharing startup Zimride is launching a new experimental mobile app called Lyft that will enable drivers and riders to connect in real time,and even watch the drivers drive to the agreed upon pick-up spot via a map on the smartphone.
    Booking a lift via Zimride can be a good choice for a long trip that you schedule in advance.But what about if you want to catch a ride right now?Just turn to the mobile app Lyft!
    The app,only available via invite now,lets potential riders look for available drivers close by and request rides.The riders and drivers can look at each other's profiles and the app is using Facebook Connect for log-in and social security.Once booked,riders can watch their drivers drive to them on a mobile map in real time.Riders pay the driver based on a suggested donation mobile via the app itself (no cash exchange) and Zimride says the rides will be about 30 percent cheaper than a cab.
    The biggest problem with these types of apps will likely be safety issues-riders getting picked up by drivers they don't feel comfortable with.To address some of these concerns,the company says drivers will be investigated via car inspections,background check,personal interviews and DMV record checks.Zimride says its fellow 500 Startups-backed company Task Rabbit advised it on some of these security moves.
    For now the service will only be available during the evening rush hours.Over time,the service will be available 24 hours,says Zimride.San Francisco is rapidly becoming a test bed for these types of next-generation,more efficient,transportation apps,like Scoot Networks and Ridepal.
56.For what purpose did Zimride create the new experimental mobile app?
A.To help to arrange a long trip ahead of time.B.To encourage drivers to make a larger profit.
C.To share information with fellow companies.D.To enable riders to catch a ride in real time.
57.What does the underlined word"profiles"probably mean?A
A.Personal information
B.Self evaluation
C.Specific address
D.Brief comments.
58.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the mobile app Lyft?B
A.Its working system
B.Its safety measures.
C.Its installation
D.Its fellow companies.
59.What do we know about the Lyft service?C
A.It charges riders more money
B.It is not well received at present.
C.It provides efficient transportation
D.It runs twenty hours every day.
