9．When her five daughters were young，Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity（团结）．To show this，she held up one chopstick，representing one person．Then she easily broke it into two pieces．Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family．She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks．This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up．
Helene Ann and her family own a large restaurant business in California．However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money．They moved their family to San Francisco．There they joined Danny's mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop．Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant．The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young．However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business．They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles．Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked together to make the business successful．Daughter Elizabeth explains，"Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace．Without the strength of the family，there is no business．"
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with three generations of Ans working together．Now the Ans'corporation makes more than $20 million each year．Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together．Now they are a big success．

32．Helene tied several chopsticks together to showA．
A．the strength of family unity
B．the difficulty of growing up
C．the advantage of chopsticks
D．the best way of giving a lesson
33．We can learn from Paragraph 2that the Ann familyB．
A．started a business in 1975
B．left Vietnam without much money
C．bought a restaurant in San Francisco
D．opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles
34．What can we infer about the Ann daughters？C
A．They did not finish their college education．
B．They could not bear to work in the family business．
C．They were influenced by what Helene taught them．
D．They were troubled by disagreement among family members．
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？D
A．How to run a corporation
B．Strength comes from peace
C．How to achieve a big dream
D．Family unity builds success．

分析文章通过讲述一个家族企业的发展历程来强调家庭团结的重要性．Helene和丈夫离开越南时，他们并不富有．Helene给她的女儿讲述了一个关于团结的故事．几双筷子被绑在一起将会很难被折断，家庭亦是如此．

解答 32．A．细节理解题．根据第一段"she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family．This lesson about family unity…"可知，Helene把筷子绑在一起并试着折断它们，是为了显示团结的力量．
33．B．细节理解题．　根据"when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money．"可知，当离开越南时，Helene夫妇并没有太多的钱．
34．C．推理判断题．　根据倒数第二段"Eventually the girls all graduated from college"排除A；根据"the daughters returned to work in the family business"可知，Helene的女儿们相继都回到了家族企业，但文中未提到她们无法承受家族企业里的工作，排除B；根据"they worked together to make the business successful"可知，虽然有分歧，但她们还是齐心协力地工作，排除D．
35．D．选择最佳标题．根据第一段"Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity （团结）．"和第三段"to succeed we must have unity"与第四段"and they worked together．Now they are a big success．"可知，文章主要讲的是家庭团结对取得成功的重要性．文章没有讲怎样经营一家大型公司，也没有提到怎样实现伟大梦想．

点评做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

20．When it comes to the Internet，people talk about the password most．Actually，it's been under fire for a long time．Research has shown that passwords are not a very good way to protect sensitive information．
People would use some random characters，numbers and symbols．Furthermore，a unique password would be used for every site or application the user uses．Unfortunately，the longer and more complex passwords become，the more people are likely to forger them．Therefore，they use the same password for every service or application．These are all big no-noes and essentially defeat the purpose of a password．
Google is trying to kill off passwords on Android devices by introducing the Trust API，which does what simple passwords cannot and gives developers a framework for securing their application using a number of security systems and metrics（衡量标准）on the device．A Trust Score will be generated based on a number of metrics including your device location，face scanning，fingerprints，and the things like your typing speed or the way you speak．Taken one at a time，these metrics are not secure．But taken together，these metrics will help recognize the real"you"．
The good news is that Google has already been testing this on real world data．Google has proven the Trust API works．Next Google will run tests will some banks to see if the Trust API meets their needs before rolling out the system on Android phones later．It may take another year for apps and popular sites to start using the Trust API．
This is a pretty exciting change．Passwords have been around for a lone time．Although the security of systems has been improved，the usability of systems hasn't been proved much．Google appears to have the best of them．Maybe that never-ending conflict between security and convenience will be able to take a break once the Trust system comes out．

28．What is implied in the underlined sentence in Para.2？B
A．Users make mistakes in using passwords．
B．Users should know the purpose of passwords．
C．Users have learnt to say no to their passwords．
D．Users misunderstand the meaning of passwords．
29．How is the key part of the Trust API generated？C
A．By taking one metric at a time．
B．By combining various metrics．
C．By developing security systems．
D．By analyzing complex passwords．
30．What can we know about the Trust system from the text？A
A．It needs to be improved in the future．
B．It hasn't been proven to be effective．
C．It will be used on Android devices first．
D．It is secure and convenient for the users．
31．What would be the best title for the text？D
A．How does Google develop the Trust API？
B．Will the Trust API meet the users'needs？
C．Will passwords soon be a thing of the past？
D．How do passwords protect personal information？

17．Martha Graham，born in 1894，was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance，whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts，Stravinsky had on music，or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture．She created almost two hundred dance pieces．She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance．
Earlier in her life，however，Martha did not know that she would become a dancer．At that time，the dancers were looked down on．So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning．Until 1916，she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts，founded by Ruth St．Denis and Ted Shawn，where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing．
In 1936，Graham made her defining work，"Chronicle"，which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance．The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner．Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929，the Great Depression that followed，and the Spanish Civil War，it focused on depression and isolation，reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes．（服装）
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy．Once again，she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows．But she didn't give up．Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag．"A Dancer's World"is an introduction to Graham and her work．She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods．Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime，including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventy-six．She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor．She died in 1991at the age of ninety-six．In 1998，Time magazine listed her as the"Dancer of the Century"and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century．

B．American dance was seen as a lower art form．

4．Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best．Similarly，students'performance varies in what types of test they are given．Therefore，it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested．However，this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material．Teachers are already very busy，creating tests，grading，coming up with interesting lesson plans，teaching classes，not to mention holding parent teacher conferences，and creating new tests would only add to their burden．
Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways．For instance，how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book？Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay．But perhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldn't write a critical essay about something in it．
This is not to say，however，that students should be graded in the same manner every time．This would be equally unfair as again，different students test better when assessed by different methods．Therefore，teachers need to be sure to give essay tests，multiple choice tests，as well as other multi-media（多媒体） projects to assess their students，just not over the same material．This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and make up for tasks that they're not good at．For instance，a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a well-performed project．Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities．As such，students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to complete their extra credit．If a student is a strong essay writer，they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade．This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they aren't as accomplished．

32．We know from Paragraph 1that if students could choose how they are tested，teachers wouldA．
A．have more work
B．lose their authority
C．change their lesson plans
D．prepare more testing materials
33．What does the underlined word"strain"in Paragraph 2 mean？B
A．Possibility．
B．Difficulty．
C．Approach．
D．Hesitation．
34．The author writes the last paragraph in order toA．
A．offer suggestions
B．draw a conclusion
C．predict the future
D．prove his point
35．Where is the text most probably taken from？D
A．A science book．
B．An announcement．
C．A news report．
D．An education magazine．

19．Common public speaking problemsThe use of"I feel"，"I think"and"maybe"
In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition，many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like"I feel"，"I hear"，"maybe"and"perhaps"．These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view．（36 ）G
Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point．Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence．Instead of the empty-sounding"I guess"，using facts，together with a clear conclusion based on those facts，is far more likely to be popular with an audience．
（37 ）CDon't stick to the same tone．It can be boring．Try to mix it up．For example，when they spoke about their dreams，some sounded romantic．Others used humor．Very few used several different styles tighter．（38 ）A，rather than just sticking with the same one．
Irresponsible answers
（39 ）E．you're responsible for your words．Even though you want to answer quickly，you don't want to sound foolish．So you should think twice before you talk．Don't be like the student who，when asked about his opinion on book piracy（盗版），started by saying he supported it．
Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it
You should focus on one point and give a clear solution．（40 ）F．is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view？
Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion．Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree，but on your ability to say what you think clearly．

A．Try mixing more than one style．
B．Improving your communication skill．
C．Using only one speaking style
D．It's important to involve your audience．
E．Public speaking is different from personal conversations．
F．The key is to work out what question is being asked
G．To the judges and audience，this lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable．

20．Having a shy style isn't necessarily a problem．It's perfectly OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations．Here are some tips for overcoming shy feelings．
Start small with people you know．Practise social behavior like eye contact，confident body language，introductions，small talk，asking questions，and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around．Build your confidence this way．（36）B
Think of some conversation starters．（37）EThink of conversation openers，like introducing yourself，giving a compliment，or asking a question．Being ready with a conversation starter （or a few） makes it easier to approach someone．
Rehearse （排练）what you want to say．（38）D Practise it again and again，maybe even in front of a mirror．Then just do it．Don't worry if it's not exactly like what you practised or if it's not perfect．Few of the things more confident-seeming people do are perfect either．Next time，it'll be even better because it will be easier．
（39）C Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests．Give yourself a chance to practise socializing with these new people，and get to know them slowly．People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them．So treat yourself like your own best friend．Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail．
Most of all，be yourself．It's OK to try out different conversational approaches you see others are using．（40）FBeing the real you-and daring to let yourself be noticed-is what attracts friends．

A．It's important to make friends．
B．Then branch out into doing this with new friends，too．
C．Give yourself a chance．
D．Write down what you want to say in advance．
E．Often，the hardest part of talking to someone new is how to get started．
F．But say and do what fits your style．
G．Shyness is an obvious shortcoming．
