    20．A．Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs，it is difficult to get rid of．
    B．Over the years，shopping has become a very common activity．
    C．They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty．
    D．However in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions．
    E．People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves．
    F．They get deep in debt，and they can even go bankrupt（破产）and get sent to prison．
    G．It can also cause financial problems．

    The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs．（71）D
     Some people are compulsive（难以自制的）shoppers．Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work．Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games．
    （72）BMany people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day，but it's more than a common hobby for some of them．They have turned into shopaholics．They are people who  simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it．They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need．Even though they don't have enough money，they buy everything they want．
    The question is，why do they have this addiction？There isn't a specific answer．Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried，upset or lonely and they want to feel better．They use this activity as a way to forget their problems．Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something．（73）C  
    Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction，but it can bring out problems．Some of them can be psychological．If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit．However，the process，like for most addictions，is long，and they suffer a lot． （74）G  They just think about satisfying their feelings，so they spend money they don't have．（75）F．

    分析 本文属于说明文的阅读范畴．主要描述了与烟酒不同的新的嗜好疯狂购物的癖好，分析了购物狂的现象、成因以及由此带来的后果．

    解答 71．D    72．B    73．C    74．G    75．F
    71．D． 根据前面一句The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs中的usually可知，这是对addiction（嗜好，成瘾）的传统看法，和D项中的However in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions．构成一种对比关系，呼应开头的内容，故选D．
    72．B．分析后面的内容Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day，…They have turned into shopaholics可知，本段开始描述人们新的嗜好就是购物，由B项来衔接上下文正好吻合；故选B．
    73．C． 本段Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried，upset or lonely and they want to feel better分析了许多购物狂疯狂购物的原因．那么C项They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty进一步举例说明另外的原因；故选C．
    74．G． 根据后面so引导的结果状语从句so they spend money they don't have可知，这是叙述的购物带来的问题即消耗金钱；故选G．
    75．F．紧承前面疯狂购物会带来经济问题，所以F．They get deep in debt，and they can even go bankrupt（破产）and get sent to prison．进一步叙述带来的危害；故选F．

    点评 这是一类完成性阅读．在题型上与完型填空很类似．解题时，要在理解文章整体的情况下，充分考虑语境和空格前后的句子，注意句子之间的逻辑关系，尤其要学会把握信息词（选项中出现的与文章中相同或相近的词），快速准确的选出最符合文章原意的答案

    10．For lots of people in Britain，the 31st of December，or New Year's Eve as we call it，is the biggest party of the year．It's a time to get together with friends or family and welcome in the coming year．New Year's Eve parties can take place at a number of different places．Some people hold a house party； others attend street parties，while some just go to their local for a few drinks with their mates．Big cities，like London，have large and wonderful fireworks shows．
    There's one thing that all New Year's Eve parties have in common：the countdown（倒计时） to midnight．When the clock strikes（敲）twelve，people give a loud cheer，and give each other a kiss．They then link arms and sing a song called Auld Lang Syne，by a Scottish poet called Robert Burns．Not many people can remember all the words of the song，but the tune（旋律） is well known，so lots of people just hum along．The parties then continue into the early hours of the morning with lots of dancing and drinking．Other people might spend the day visiting relatives or friends they haven't managed to catch up with for a while．Whatever happens，New Year's Day tends to be very relaxed．
    In Britain，it's popular to make a promise to yourself about something you are going to do，or want to stop doing，in the New Year．This is called a New Year's resolution．Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and joining a gym to get fit．However，the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days．
    New Year's Day is the last bank holiday of the festive season，which means most people have to go to work the next day：bright and fresh and ready for the new year ahead!

    21．New Year's Eve parties in BritainD．
    A．end at midnight
    B．can only be held indoors
    C．only take place in big cities
    D．include countdown to midnight
    22．The underlined word"hum"in Paragraph 2probably meansB．
    A．dancing to the music        
    B．singing with your mouth closed
    C．learning to sing
    D．keeping silent
    23．What does the author think of the New Year's resolution？C
    A．It can help people keep fit．
    B．It's a promise to your family．
    C．It's often hard to keep．
    D．It's a joke played on New Year's Day．
    24．What is the main idea of the passage？D
    A．New Year parties in Britain．
    B．New Year countdown in Britain．
    C．New Year's resolution in Britain．
    D．New Year celebration in Britain．

    11．As computers become all the more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters．But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes （笔画） of each Chinese character when writing on paper．Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more．
    Do you write by hand more or type more？In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school．And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students．Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer．
    All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer．
    It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer．And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education．But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly，problems appear．
    "When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it．"
    "I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper．"
    Many students don't feel this is something to worry about．Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite？
    Many educators think differently．Shi Liwei，headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said，"Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic （审美的） value．But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value．All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost．And handwriting contains the writer's emotion．Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality．Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them．"
    To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand．

    60．The underlined expression"taking stock in"in paragraph 4probably meansB．
    A．getting bored with    B．getting dependent on
    C．becoming crazy about  D．getting curious about
    61．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly becauseD．
    A．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
    B．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
    C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
    D．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
    62．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting？C
    A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotions．
    B．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value．
    C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self-confidence．
    D．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting．
    63．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A
    A．To Type or to Handwrite．
    B．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing．
    C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand．
    D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters．

    8．A son in many developing countries means insurance，who will inherit his father's property and help support the family．However，to parents，a daughter is just another expense．Her place is in the home，not in the world of men．A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy．Her future is，to some extent，shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater，which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career．
    Deep discrimination （歧视）against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential．It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm．These"servants of the household"come to accept that life will never be any different．What's most harmful，it results not only in millions of individual tragedies，but also in the lost potential for the entire country．Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress．The status of women is central to the health of a society．If one part suffers，so does the whole．
    To deal with the situation，many women turn to education．Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination，starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women．Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia，for instance，are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education．
    Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later，survive childbirth，have fewer and healthier children，and make sure their own children complete school．Understanding the importance of hygiene （卫生）and nutrition，they are more likely to stay in physical wellness．
    Nevertheless，the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education．As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs，they gain status in their communities，which translates into the power to influence their families and societies．Such power may，together with other forces of outside interference，make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries．
     
    （Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）
    81．What two facts make a woman achieve less than men in developing countries？
    Her family limiting her opportunities and treating her as second-rater
    82．The most severe result of discrimination against women isthe lost potential for the entire country
    83．Why are educated women in developing countries more likely to remain healthy？
    Because they understand the importance of hygiene and nutrition
    84．High social position at home helps women to have the ability toinfluence their families and societies．

    15．The Mississippi
             The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century．The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food，and it was they who gave it its name-"misi"meaning"great"and"sipi"meaning"water"．When the length of its branch，the Missouri，is added to it，the Mississippi becomes greater（71）C．．From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta （三角洲），it is 2，480 miles long．
             Great rivers are likely to suffer floods．In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres，sweeping away farms，towns，everything in its path．In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless．Today the river has largely been controlled．（72）B．
             Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta，but otherwise the delta is a remote place，the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century．They still speak French，mixed with English，Indian，Spanish and Negro idioms．They keep to themselves，fanning the rich soil of the delta．（73）G．
            （74）D．Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went，but what lay beyond．In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river，and named it after their king，Louis XV．This city，named St．Louis，became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains，and the way to the Far West．
             Some 40 years earlier，at the beginning of the 18th century，the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta，New Orleans．（75）A．New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world，and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic．

    A．It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is
    B．Levees，high banks built of earth，hold back the flood waters
    C．Therefore，as we know，it's the third longest river in the world
    D．It is known that the"Great Water"has also been a frontier river
    E．However，they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune
    F．The"Great Water"always remains a thread，for the streets of the city are below the level of the river
    G． They call themselves Cajuns，who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and  preserving their own traditions．

    5．An Open Letter to an Editor
    I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently-one who works for you．In fact，he's one of your best reporters．He wants to leave．
    Your reporter gave me a copy of his résumé （简历） and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you．The headlines showed you played them proudly．With great enthusiasm，he talked about how he finds issues，approaches them，and writes about them，which tells me he is one of your best．I'm sure you would hate to lose him．
    Surprisingly，your reporter is not unhappy．In fact，he told me he really likes his job．He has a great assignment，and said you run a great paper．It would be easy for you to keep him，he said．He knows that the paper values him．He appreciates the responsibility you've given him，takes ownership of his profession，and enjoys his freedom．
    So why is he looking for a way out？
    He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him．He wants to be pushed，challenged，coached to new heights．
    The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions，but his editors usually ask how l ong the story will be，when it will be in，where it can play，and what the budget is．
    He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones．He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out，exploring the best ways to report it．He wants to be more valuable for our paper．That's what you want for him，too，isn't it？
    So your reporter has set me thinking．
    Our best hope in keeping our best reporters，copy editors，photographers，artists-everyone-is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential．If we can't do it，they'll find someone who can．

    10．A little boy had a bad temper．His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost（71）his temper，he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence．
    The first day，the boy hammered 37nails into the fence．Over the next few weeks，as he learned to control his anger，the number of nails hammered daily（72）gradually （gradual） dwindled down．He discovered it was（73）easier （easy） to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence．
    Finally the day came （74）when the boy didn't lose his temper at all．He told his father（75）about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper．The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father （76）that all the nails were（77）gone （go）．
    The father took his son（78）by the hand and led him to the fence．He said，"You （79）have done （do） well，my son，but look at the holes in the fence．The fence will never be the same．When you say things in anger，（80）they leave a scar just like this one．A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one．"
