　　B

　　Using too much water or

　　throwing

　　rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the

　　water

　　we

　　use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water

　　can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

　　Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more

　　rainfall，but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

　　Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too. In the United States，a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live，but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

　　You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗机)only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

　　60．Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

　　A．Using river water.

　　B．Throwing batteries away.

　　C．Paving parking lots.

　　D．Throwing rubbish into lakes.

　　61．What can be inferred from the text?

　　A．All water shortages are due to human behavior.

　　B．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

　　C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.

　　D．The average family in

　　America makes proper use of water.

　　62．The last paragraph is intended to

　　________．

　　A．show us how to fix leaks at home

　　B．tell us how to run a dishwasher

　　C．prove what drinking glass is best for us

　　D．suggest what we do to save water at home

　　63. The text is mainly about

　　________．

　　A．why paving roads reduces our water

　　B．how much we depend on water to live

　　C．why droughts occur more in dry climates

　　D．how human activity affects our water supply

　　【要点综述】 人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响巨大，人类应该通过调整自身的活动方式来改变自身的生存环境。

　　60．C　细节理解题。根据第一段“The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.”可知，铺设马路、停车场会导致地下水减少，而A、B、D三项都会导致水的供应量减少，而不是地下水减少，故排除。

　　61．B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“good management”、第三段中的“the way we use water every day”，以及第四段中的“take steps to save water in your home”可知，为满足我们用水的需求，需要做的努力还有很多。

　　62．D　推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“last paragraph”定位到该段第一句“You can take steps to save water in your home.”，且它后面的内容都是围绕这个主题句展开的。

　　63．D　主旨大意题。根据题干中的关键词“mainly about”定位到全文的内容。文章第一段讲的是“铺设马路、停车场会导致地下水减少”，后三段讲述了“为了满足我们的用水需求，我们能做些什么”。所有这些讲的都是人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响，故选D。

　　D

　　“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before，” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达)．” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

　　Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life－changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.

　　However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

　　We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

　　68．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

　　A．People can tell good from bad behavior.

　　B．Radar is able to observe human behavior.

　　C．People care little about their behavior.

　　D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

　　69．Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________．

　　A．they are becoming less patient

　　B．they are growing too independent

　　C．they have to handle many important messages

　　D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward

　　70．The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________．

　　A．ridiculous

　　B．disgusting

　　C．acceptable

　　D．reasonable

　　71．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A．We should applaud good behavior.

　　B．Technology can never be blamed.

　　C．We should keep pointing out mistakes.

　　D．Technology will take over our lives one day.

　　【要点综述】 科技的发展改变了人们的生活方式。许多人变得冷酷无礼了，他们不愿意与别人交流，整天宅在家里上网。

　　68．C　句意理解题。根据第一段“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor' than ever before”可知，“现在的人变得更加没有礼貌”，而画线句是对该句作补充说明的，意思是“现在的人们不注意自己的行为举止(礼貌行为用雷达都探测不到)”，故选C。

　　69．A　推理判断题。根据题干中“less willing to deal with humans”定位到文章第二段中第二、三句内容。由此可知，有些人不愿意跟人打交道是嫌人太慢(feels very slow)，达不到4G速度(don't work at 4G speeds)。也就是说，这些人变得缺乏耐心。故选A。

　　70．B　细节理解题。根据题干中“unsigned awful messages”定位到第三段最后一句“Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.”。由线索定位中的句子可知，发一些不署名的恶俗信息很令人厌烦。

　　71．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“…it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.”可知，作者认为，我们应该为那些礼貌行为喝彩。故选A。

　　Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

　　Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!

　　According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time，” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”

　　The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century BC, painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold－out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain(抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film－stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

　　Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.

　　If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.

　　Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.

　　63．It can be learned from the passage that stars today

　　________．

　　A. are often misunderstood by the public

　　B. can no longer have their privacy protected

　　C. spend too much on their public appearance

　　D. care little about how they have come into fame

　　64．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

　　A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.

　　B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

　　C. Well－known actors are usually targets of tabloids.

　　D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

　　65．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?

　　A. Availability of modern media.

　　B. Inadequate social recognition.

　　C. Lack of favorable chances.

　　D. Huge population of fans.

　　66．What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?

　　A. Sincere.

　　B. Sceptical.

　　C. Disapproving.

　　D. Sympathetic.

　　【要点综述】 本文主要论述名人的烦恼，涉及名人的压力、与世界的隔离、历史由来、现在的状况，最后提出了解决名人烦恼的办法。

　　63．B 　细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，名人几乎难有隐私。所以选B。

　　64．B 　段落大意题。第三段主要讲名人烦恼的历史由来。所以选B。

　　65．A 　细节理解题。根据第四段cameras、the Internet等可知选A。

　　66．D 　观点态度题。作者对于名人的压力、存在状况是非常同情的。所以选D。sincere真挚的；sceptical怀疑的；disapproving不赞成的；sympathetic同情的。

　　A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

　　Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

　　Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said：“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.

　　“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world－famous firms such as Honda.

　　“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.”

　　Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛)．

　　The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop; it was amazing，” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”

　　The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.

　　Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”

　　The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
