I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them, to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came FaceBook, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via FaceBook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred as an example. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his FaceBook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man and then write about it.
Take Andy as an example. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook. He’s doing well—level 731. Thanks to FaceBook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies and this is how you spend your down time? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz as an example. She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on FaceBook and once on Twitter.
In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to FaceBook, my friends are like blind dates which go horribly wrong.
I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine madman on FaceBook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standard?
58. Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the text?
A. Fred.
B. Andy. C. Liz. D. Chris.
59. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?
A. He’s running his company.
B. He’s playing golf all day.
C. He’s looking for another job.
D. He’s playing computer games.
60. According to the text, FaceBook tends to .
A. present another side of people
B. offer some foods for free
C. show endless advertisements
D. get you to more parties

Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels(分贝)measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼).
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.
The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染的).
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don’t think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the oceans.
61. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
A. The sound of cars.
B. The sound of voices.
C. Man-made noise pollution.
D. The sound of steps.
62. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?
A. The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.
B. Different places may have different types of noises.
C. The decibel is not a right unit(单位)for measuring underwater noise.
D. Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.
63. Which of the following is TRUE of whales?
A. They won’t be confused by noises.
B. They are deaf to noises.
C. Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.
D. Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.
64. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A. They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.
B. They will protect ocean animals from harmful noises.
C. They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.
D. They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.

Surrounded by Brothers
I know it is wrong to envy my children. But when I see my sons, Tonio and his younger brother Sam going down a slide together, one’s arm around the other, I know I have missed something wonderful.
Not only did I never have a brother, but also I had no friendships like theirs. My sister was old enough to help take care of me, so she was more a mother than a playmate, and I was more a pest than a friend. A brother would have been wonderful, but it was not in the family planning.
Now I finally live with brothers, my sons, Tonio and Sam. I am watching them build the kind of relationship that I once dreamed about. They go to bed together. When one comes into our bed after a nightmare, my wife and I know that before morning his brother will follow.
Sam manages the world with more ease than his elder brother, whose frustrations often bring him to tears. With a sincere “Smile, Tonio, ”Sam is the one who comforts him. Tonio, on the other hand, has stopped playing with boys at his age who don’t like playing with Sam. They are always backing each other up.
I don’t know what kind of relationship they will have when they grow up. Parents always want their children to have what they never have. I want them to have each other. So I imagine them going to the same college, marrying sisters and living on the same block.
That’s why I was so worried the day Tonio started kindergarten. I felt that I would lose something too. As we headed for school that morning, both boys seemed relaxed, as if neither had any idea that the day was going to be different, that starting then, Tonio would be leaving behind his brother, his best friend, his right arm.
Tonio’s first day was chaotic, with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers. Before any of us could say goodbye, Tonio disappeared with his new classmates. He turned to wave and then was gone. It was so sudden. Sam even didn’t see him go. Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by staying out of the school, I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonio’s classroom, looking for a glimpse of Tonio. Sam spotted him first.
My wife and I didn’t head back home immediately, stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate. We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers. Sam was still quiet, so I asked him if he missed his brother already.
He didn’t answer. Instead he asked, “Daddy, is Tonio going to be gone forever? ”
“No, Sammy, ”I said, feeling happy about his sweet question. “Not forever, just until three o’clock. ”
I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers. And I didn’t stop with them. We had another child, and for the third time in a row, it was a boy. It wasn’t long before his brothers climbed into the crib(婴儿床)to play with him. I am surrounded by brothers.
65. What makes the author envy his sons?
A. He has no friends like Sam and Tonio.
B. He has only one brother in his family.
C. He doesn’t enjoy brotherhood as they do.
D. He doesn’t have a good relation with his sister.
66. What does the underlined word “pest” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. A bad person.
B. An annoying person.
C. A good companion.
D. A lovely brother.
67. What can we learn about the two little brothers?
A. Tonio often encouraged Sam when Sam burst into tears.
B. The two brothers went to the same kindergarten.
C. Neither of the brothers played with other children.
D. They supported each other in different ways.
68. The author was worried the day Tonio started his kindergarten, because .
A. Tonio might not spend so much time with Sam
B. Tonio might not do well in his study
C. he was afraid he would lose Tonio forever
D. he wanted Tonio to have what he didn’t have
69. On the first day of the kindergarten, .
A. Tonio had a nice day playing with his new classmates
B. Sam was very sad because Tonio was gone forever
C. Sam was allowed to have ice-cream with fingers as usual
D. the father felt happy when he sensed Sam’s love to Tonio
70. What does the title “Surrounded by Brothers” suggest?
A. The author experienced brotherly affection by raising his sons.
B. The author often plays with his sons whenever he has time.
C. Parents want their children to stay at home and play together.
D. The youngest son is always surrounded by his elder brothers.

The World Bank, the United Nations and the London School Of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine did a study to urge hand-washing around the world. They found that one million lives could be saved each year if people washed their hands with soap often. They said that programs to increase hand-washing with soap could be among the most effective ways to reduce infectious disease.
Doctors say, many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand-washing. These include pinworms(寄生虫), influenza(流行性感冒), the common cold, hepatitis(肝炎)A, meningitis(脑膜炎)and infectious diarrhea(腹泻).
Hand-washing destroys germs from other people, animals or objects a person has touched. When people get bacteria on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then these people can infect other people.
The experts say the easiest way to catch a cold is to touch your nose or eyes after someone nearby has sneezed or coughed. Another way to become sick is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not clean. The experts say that hand-washing is especially important before and after preparing food, before eating and after using the toilet. People should wash their hands after handling animals or animal waste, and after cleaning a baby. The experts say it is also a good idea to wash your hands after handling money and after sneezing or coughing. And it is important to wash your hands often when someone in your home is sick. The experts say the most effective way to wash your hands is to rub them together while using soap and warm water. They say you do not have to use special antibacterial soap. Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds. The rubbing action helps remove germs. Then rinse(冲洗)the hands with water and dry them.

21.【解析】选D。考查冠词的用法。句意: 网上购物在中国是一个新兴的产业, 因为中国是世界上最多人口的家园。第一空泛指“一个正在兴起的产业”; 第二空在home前不加冠词, 指“……的家园”。故选D。
【拓展延伸】

22. 【解析】选C。考查介词短语。句意: 我代表出席晚会的各位同学, 向你们为大家举办这样一个精彩的晚会表示衷心的感谢。on behalf of“代表”, 符合句意。in honour of向……表示敬意; in favour of赞成; in place of代替。
23. 【解析】选A。考查固定用法。句意: 既然好的故事都具有普遍性, 那么这些动画片激发了世人的想象力也就不足为怪了。It is no wonder that. . . 难怪……, ……不足为怪; There is no need for sb. to do sth. 某人没有必要做某事; There is no point/sense in doing sth. 做某事没有意义。
24. 【解析】选B。句意: 看起来他不高兴, 他一定已经被告知这个坏消息了。can表示推测时, 常用于否定句和疑问句, 用于肯定句时, 表示理论上对客观情况的推测; must表示推测时, 只能用于肯定句, 推测的可能性很大, 译为“一定”; would常用于虚拟, 不用于推测; need表示推测时, 常用于否定句。根据句意可知答案为B。
【拓展延伸】
关于表示推测的情态动词后面所接动词形式, 有下列三种情况: 若对此刻正在发生的事进行推测, 接“be +现在分词”; 若对现在或未来情况的推测, 接动词原形; 若对过去情况的推测, 接“have +过去分词”。
25. 【解析】选A。考查形容词辨析。句意: 因为已经生活在这条街道上近半个世纪, 这位老人能精确地描述在此期间发生在这里人们身上的那些事。accurate精确的, 准确的; sensitive敏感的; cautious谨慎的; particular特别的, 挑剔的。
26.【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意: 站在角落机器旁的那位女工是组长。整个句子是主系表结构, 所以空格处应是非谓语动词作定语, 表示“站在角落机器旁的那位女工”, worker与stand之间是主谓关系, 所以答案为B。
【误区警示】
本题可能会误选C。误选的原因在于没有正确理解句子的结构, 本句的主语为The woman worker, 谓语部分为系表结构is the team leader, 这里需要的不是谓语动词, 而是非谓语动词作名词的后置定语。
27. 【解析】选C。考查动词词义辨析。句意: 不管销售商做出什么样的承诺, 他们都不可能保证其所销售的商品质量良好。confirm确认, 确定, 证实; argue与that连用, 意为“主张, 认为”; guarantee保证, 担保; permit允许, 许可。

30. 【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。句意: 这座城市建立于8世纪, 长期以来一直是文化、艺术和宗教中心。本句主语the city与found之间是被动关系, 故用过去分词作状语, 故答案为C。
31. 【解析】选B。考查名词性从句。句意: 使我不高兴的是你没有将事情的真相告诉我。what引导主语从句, 在句中作主语, 符合句意。that引导主语从句时, 不作句子成分; who指人; which引导主语从句, 意思为“哪一个, 哪一些”, 均不符合句意。故答案为B。
【加固训练】
The fact you didn’t tell me the truth makes me unhappy.
A. that B. what
C. who
D. which
【解析】选A。考查名词性从句。句意: 你没有将事情的真相告诉我使我不高兴。根据关键词the fact可知, 后面的从句为同位语从句, 意思清楚, 逻辑完整, 所以要用that引导。
32. 【解析】选A。考查交际用语。句意: ——难道你还没收到汤姆的生日聚会的邀请? ——收到了。但是恐怕我不能去。那个时间我必须去北京。I’m afraid I can’t make it“恐怕我做不到”; I’m not sure“我不确定”; it is not worth the time“那是浪费时间的事”; it’s nothing“没什么”。根据句意可知答案为A。
【误区警示】
本题可能会误选B。如果不能正确理解I will have to go to Beijing then所暗含的意思“我想去但去不成”, 就会误选B“我不确定”。
33. 【解析】选A。考查连词用法。句意: 尽管宇航员在轨道运行中不能去打棒球或者看电影, 他们还是有很多类似的可以娱乐的活动。A当……时候, 然而, 尽管; B既然, 自从; C在……之前; D除非。前句讲宇航员不能做的事, 后句说他们还有很多类似的可以做的事, 由此可知前后句子之间为转折关系。所以A选项正确。
34.【解析】选B。考查倍数表达法。句意: 住在香格里拉酒店一天要花费在我的家乡租一所房子一个月房租的三倍。倍数关系句型结构为: 倍数+as+adj. +as. . . , 倍数+the+名词+ of. . . 或倍数+what引导的从句等几种形式。故选B。
35.【解析】选A。考查倒装。句意: 我在任何时候都未做过任何违背公众信任的事。at no time放在句首, 句子要部分倒装。倒装提前的是助动词、情态动词和系动词, 此处要提前助动词have, 而ever不可提前。故答案为A。

【参考范文】
In the picture, two goats are tied to each other with a rope. They both see some grass in opposite directions, and try to pull to get their own food. They are unsuccessful because the rope is too short to allow them to eat the food at the same time.
The picture is trying to tell us that cooperation is better than conflict. Both of the goats want their food at the same time, which has formed a conflict between them. However, if they decide to cooperate and eat the grass on the left first, and then the grass on the right, they will both be able to get their food. Thus things will turn into a “win-win” situation.
In conclusion, sometimes our goal is not that we get something and the other gets nothing, but that all people get what they want. If we are to succeed, cooperation plays an important role and will benefit both sides. Therefore, it’s essential that we should attach more importance to teamwork and cooperation in what we do.
