(Text 10)
Card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine，International Telephone Cards.One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a variety of different and often very attractive designs.There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone，and there you can put your own design into a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
The first telephone cards，produced in 1976，were Italian.Five years later the first British card appeared，and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries.People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive，small and light，and they do not need much space.It is also a cheap hobby for beginners，although for some people it becomes a serious business.In Paris，for example，there is a market where you can buy only collectors’ telephone cards，and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds.The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds.Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.

A
Mr.DeLucie，the chef behind downtown’s current red-hot spot，the Lion，as well as its last red-hot spot，the Waverly Inn，as well as a new restaurant，the Royal，in Miami Beach，has his work cut out for him.
So when he comes home from the Lion，usually around 11 p．m.，still tired up from work，he has found a way to shut out the noise and pipe in his own — via a guitar and a pair of headphones.
“I’m in the kitchen all day long，” he said，sitting in his West Village apartment.“You need something that takes you out of the daily grind(日常工作)．I can come in here，put these on，turn the volume (音量)all the way up，and no one will ever hear.”
“This isn’t ‘Guitar Hero，’ ” he said，chuckling.“This so isn’t that.”
In some ways，he said，making music is similar to cooking.The success of both comes down to the quality of the ingredients as much as how they’re put together.He grew up on Long Island with an Italian grandmother who loved to cook and a father who played guitar，and good food and music were mainstays of his childhood diet.
But the real pleasure he gets out of playing guitar is how it takes him away from thinking like a cook.So，of all his guitars，it’s the Gibson ES-330，made in 1964 with dual pickups and an ombré “sunburst” design of brown and blond，that he loves above the rest.He bought it in 2006，not long after the Waverly Inn opened to such success.
56．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?
A．Mr.DeLucie doesn’t like his job as a chef.
B．Mr.DeLucie is doing a very busy job and has a very tight schedule.
C．Mr.DeLucie is enjoying his lifestyle very much.
D．Mr.DeLucie is working so hard to be isolated from the world.
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文中第一段的“Mr.DeLucie，the chef behind downtown’s current red-hot spot，the Lion，as well as its last red-hot spot，the Waverly Inn，as well as a new restaurant，the Royal，in Miami Beach...”内容可知，Mr.DeLucie从事于很多家餐馆或宾馆的工作，故此处是“工作很忙碌”之意。
57．Which of the following is in disagreement with the passage?
A．Mr.DeLucie works for the Lion，the Royal and the Waverly Inn.
B．Mr.DeLucie usually comes home at 11 in the evening，tired. C．Mr.DeLucie plays guitar to get him out of his tiring work as a chef.
D．Mr.DeLucie is very tired of his job as a chef.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文中内容可知，虽然Mr.DeLucie作为厨师的工作很累，但是原文并没有提及他很讨厌自己的工作。
58．What delight does Mr.DeLucie take in playing guitar from the text?
A．Playing guitar can make him relaxed after a whole day’s hard work.
B．He can make a living by playing guitar instead of as a chef.
C．Playing a guitar can make him realize his dream.
D．He can escape the reality of the everyday life in playing guitar.
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据文中末段的“But the real pleasure he gets out of playing guitar is how it takes him away from thinking like a cook.”内容可知，Mr.DeLucie通过弹吉他可以让他不再考虑自己作为厨师的生活。即弹吉他是他放松的一种方式。
59．The best title of the passage probably is ________.
A．Chef John DeLucie Relaxed With His Guitar
B．The Chef and His Musical Life C．How to Relax after a Whole Day’s Hard Work
D．The Guitar Hero—John DeLucie
解析：选A。主旨大意题。本文主要描述了厨师在劳累了一天后通过弹吉他来放松的生活方式。
B
Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest composers in musical history.He was born in Bonn，Germany in 1770.Both his father Johann and his grandfather Ludwig were musicians.
Ludwig’s father gave him early musical training and hoped that the boy would become a musical genius like Mozart.He forced him to get up in the middle of the night and practise the piano.
When he was 7，Ludwig started playing in public and at the age of 13 became an assistant organist(风琴演奏者) at a small church in Cologne.In 1787 Ludwig van Beethoven travelled to Vienna where he met Mozart but after a short stay he had to go back to Bonn because his mother had died.He returned back to Vienna in 1792，where he stayed until his death.
Vienna was one of the great musical centres of Europe during this time.Some of the city’s upper-class citizens had already heard of Beethoven and were interested in his music.They gave him money to live and study.In Vienna Ludwig also met Joseph Haydn and became his pupil for a short time.The Viennese thought that Beethoven was a strange man with his untidy appearance.He had wild black hair and lived by his own rules.
In the late 1790s Beethoven discovered that he was slowly becoming deaf.This became a great crisis in his life.But it was during this time that Ludwig van Beethoven wrote the best works of his life.In his music he showed his joy and emotions，but also his agony.He composed his most popular symphony，the Fifth and his famous opera，Fidelio.By 1820 Beethoven became completely deaf.He didn’t show himself in public very much and spent most of his time writing music.
60．Which of the following is in disagreement with Ludwig van Beethoven?
A．Either Beethoven’s father Johann or his grandfather Ludwig was musicians.
B．When he was 13，he became an assistant organist.
C．Johann forced Beethoven to get up in the middle of the night and practise the piano.
D．Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest musicians in the world.
解析：选A。细节理解题。由文中第一段的“Both his father Johann and his grandfather Ludwig were musicians.”内容可知，贝多芬的父亲和爷爷都是音乐家。
61．Why in the Viennese’s eyes，Beethoven was strange? Because________.
A．he lived in disorder
B．his mother died
C．he was a person who cared little about his appearance
D．they didn’t understand his strange music
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文中第四段的内容“The Viennese thought that Beethoven was a strange man with his untidy appearance.He had wild black hair and lived by his own rules.”可知，因为贝多芬是一个不修边幅的人，所以维也纳人们把他看作一个奇怪的人。
62．The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．pain
B．pleasure
C．excitement
D．interest
解析：选A。词意猜测题。此处表示“他的歌曲表达了他的快乐也表达了他的痛苦”；与前文的joy构成反义复现。
63．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Deaf and Able Music Composer
B．Ludwig van Beethoven—One of the Greatest Composers
C．The Most Popular Symphony—the Fifth
D．All the Whole Life of Ludwig van Beethoven
解析：选B。主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，本文主要描述了最伟大的作曲者之一——贝多芬的一些情况。

The NBA’s version of the Ming Dynasty is done.After helping pro (正面地) basketball gain a foothold in the world’s most populous market，Chinese star Yao Ming has retired.
Yao made it official Wednesday，telling a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.
“I will formally end my career，” said Yao，who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002.Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.
“Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future，” Yao said.“I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture (断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year.My past six months were a painful wait.I have been thinking about my future over and over.Today I am announcing a personal decision，ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire.But_one_door_is_closing_and_another_one_is_opening.”
Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team，the Shanghai Sharks，with the possibility of becoming general manager.He already owns the club and wants to contribute more.
“My playing career started with the club.I hope I can do something for it，” Yao said.
He later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd.He thanked a lot of people－his family，former coaches，even players like Shaquille O’Neal－“for making me a better player.I will be always with you.Thank you.”
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was among those attending the farewell (告别) conference Wednesday.Morey made the long trip from Houston.Morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but he would be sorry if he wasn’t here.“It’s a big moment，” Morey added.“Yao had a sense of humor，a great attitude and sense of responsibility.I hope we can continue his culture in the NBA.”
Yao had played six years with the Chinese national team before joining the Rockets，and was already a star in his home country.He carried the Olympic torch through Tiananmen Square and his country’s flag during the opening ceremony at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.He also donated $ 2 million and set up a foundation to rebuild schools in the wake of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan.
64．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Yao Ming：a household name
B．Yao Ming retires from basketball
C．A farewell conference
D．Yao Ming’s personal decision
解析：选B。主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们讲述的是姚明因饱受伤痛之苦，正式退役一事，所以B项最能概括全文。
65．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．He has retired from playing basketball and his new career will begin.
B．He can’t go to the US because of his retirement.
C．He is welcome in his motherland.
D．He would return to work with the charity.
解析：选A。句意理解题。该句上文告诉我们姚明退役，下文告诉我们他崭新事业的开始，由此可以推出，该句表达的意思和A项所表达的意思相同。
66．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The reason why Yao Ming retired is that he is too old.
B．Yao Ming played six years in America.
C．Yao Ming started his playing career in Houston.
D．Yao Ming was once an Olympic torch bearer.
解析：选D。正误判断题。由最后一段的“He carried the Olympic torch through Tiananmen Square”可以看出，姚明曾是奥运会的火炬手，故D项正确。由第二段可知，姚明退役是因为伤痛，故A项错误；由最后一段的第一句话可以看出B项错误；由第五段的第一句话和第六段可知C项错误。
67．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph but one?
A．Daryl Morey is the general manager of Rockets.
B．Daryl Morey was very tired at the conference.
C．Daryl Morey thought highly of Yao Ming.
D．The conference was a big moment of the year.

I learned of Saidullah and his amphibious(水陆两用的)bicycle
through the Honeybee Network，the organization created by Indian business professor Anil Gupta that aims to track inventions in India’s rural villages.Since 1988，Gupta has been traveling across India in search of inventions that are changing the lives of the country’s rural poor.The network now says 13,000 inventions，from a foot-pedal operated washing machine to a mobile-phone activated irrigation pump that saves farmers the time and difficulty of manually turning on/off water in their fields.More recently，Gupta worked with the Indian government to set up the National Innovation Foundation，which helps formalizes their inventions and their intellectual property rights and is finally helping to change India’s rural masses into self-sustaining industrialists.
In the process，the Honeybee Network is drawing attention to industrialists like Mohammad Saidullah，who developed a simple device out of necessity that now has the power to save thousands of lives.
Saidullah arrived at the idea for a floating bicycle during one particularly terrible flood season in his home state of Bihar，India.Like many in his town，Saidullah used a bicycle to get around and a boat to cross a river to get basic flood provisions in a nearby city.He thought if only he could make his bicycle float on water，he could save the cost of hiring a boat to cross the river and catching a bus once he arrived on the other side.
It took Saidullah three days and just over $130 dollars to create his amphibious bicycle.He named it the NOOR Bicycle (after his wife)，and claims he can now assemble a model for half that much.
Such a simple invention with the power to ameliorate the lives of so many should be a winner for our cover.
68．From the text，we can learn that Gupta________.
A．is an Indian businessman who created the organization Honeybee Network
B．likes traveling across the country to enjoy the beauty of his country
C．created the bicycle which can be used in water as well as on land
D．cooperated with the local government to set up the National Innovation Foundation
解析：选D。细节理解题。D项所述与文中第一段的“...Gupta worked with the Indian government to set up the National Innovation Foundation...”的内容相吻合。
69．The National Innovation Foundation does the following things to support the masses Except________.
A．making their inventions more formal
B．protecting their legal rights in intellectual property
C．helping them to earn money from their inventions
D．helping transition the masses into industrialists
解析：选C。推理判断题。由文中第一段的最后一句话可知，这一组织帮助人们“规范发明创造”、“保护他们的合法知识产权”、“帮助他们从农村群众转变为企业家”；而C项不符合原文所述。
70．We can infer from the text that________.
A．the amphibious bicycle was named after Saidullah’s wife
B．the author agreed that Saidullah’s invention is appropriate to be used as a cover
C．to create his amphibious bicycle Saidullah spent a very long time and so much money
D．Saidullah’s invention is not fit to be used as a cover because it is too simple
解析：选B。推理判断题。由文中末段可以推断出，B项正确。而A项是在文中明确提出的内容，故不符合题干要求 “infer”；由文中第四段第1句话可知，C项错误；由文中末段所述可知，D项错误。
71．The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means________.
A．improve
B．transfer
C．change
D．reform
解析：选A。词义猜测题。此处是对上文的总结，故应该是“有能力改善人们生活的简单发明创造”。

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement.But we knew he loved us...He just had his own way of showing it.
When I was a teen，we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived.Each family had their own campsite with water and electric，and you basically parked your camper there from May through October.Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months，with the occasional weeklong stay.There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend，and they came to be some of my closest friends.Of course，many of them were boys.
We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends，and we’d hold hands as we walked around the campground.We’d play PingPong，have some snacks，and sing songs.Most weekends were pretty similar，but the couples would change.You’d see soandso with a different soandso than they were with the weekend before.You know how it is when you’re a teen－a threeweek relationship is a really long time.
So，needless to say，my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys.But every single one of them had something in common...They’d all received the Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing.One simple look from my dad，and the boy immediately knew not to mess_with me.It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys’brains.
“You will not put your hands on my daughter...You will not kiss my daughter...You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter’s ear.”
I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark.We came from one direction，and my dad from the other.The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second，then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away，giving me a quick “See you later.”
Yes，the Evil Eye.Best way ever to keep wandering teen boys’ hands away from your daughter.
【解题导语】 深沉的父爱不必用言语表达，那令人望而生畏的眼神诠释着父亲对女儿的挚爱。
72．The Evil Eye in the passage implies that ________.
A．Dad gets angry easily
B．Dad’s eyes are evil
C．Dad’s eyes are uglylooking
D．Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter
解析：选D。推理判断题。结合文章最后三段的内容可推知父亲的眼神对女儿有保护作用。
73．The underlined words “mess with” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean “________”．
A．cause trouble
B．make untidy
C．get married to
D．talk to
解析：选A。猜测词义题。下一句提到作者父亲的目光是在警告男孩，由此可推测其含义是“招惹麻烦”。
74．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．As teenagers，we went camping every weekend.
B．We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.
C．We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.
D．The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved the Evil Eye.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句的内容可知他们当时结交了很多朋友。由第二段第三句可知他们并不是每周末都去野营，故A项错误；由第三段第三、四句可知他们经常更换朋友，故C项错误；由倒数第二段中的．..dropped my hand like a hot potato...可知那个男孩儿害怕the Evil Eye，故D项错误。
75．It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.
A．is a teenage girl who loves her father
B．is a teenage boy who hates his father
C．is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love
D．used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段开头部分的时间状语When I was a teen，...可知本文是作者对过去的回忆，再结合最后一段推知作者现在已经是成年人，已经开始理解父亲的爱。再由第六段的内容可知作者当时是一个小女孩，故选C项。
