I was in Sarasota,
Florida,
teaching a seminar when,
at the end of the day,
a lady came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son.
We walked out to the beach,
and I told her of my mom’s undying love and about the “To read when you’re alone” letters.
Several weeks later,
I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son.
［6］That night as I went to bed,
I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter.
In the midst of my turbulent teen years,
the letters were the calm assurance(保证) that I could be lovedin spite of me,
not because of me.
Just before I fell asleep I thanked God that my mom knew what I,
an angry teenager,
needed.
Today when the seas of life get stormy,
I know that just under my pillow there is that calm assurance
that love－consistent,
abiding (永久的),
unconditional love－changes lives.

S.
workers regularly attends after-work
drinks with co-workers,
where the
most common mishaps range from
bad-mouthing another worker to drinking too much,
according to a study released on Tuesday.
Most workers attend so-called happy hours to bond with colleagues,
although 15 percent go to hear the latest office gossip and 13 percent go because they feel necessary,
said the survey conducted for CareerBuilder. com,
an online job site.
As to what happens when the after-work drinks flow,
16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague,
10 percent shared a secret about a colleague and 8 percent said they drank too much and acted unprofessionally.
Five percent said they had shared a secret about the company,
and 4 percent confessed to singing karaoke.
While 21 percent of those who attended said happy hours were good for networking,
85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position.
An equal number of men and women said they attended happy hours with co-workers,
with younger workers aged 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least likely to attend.
Overall,
21 percent of workers attend happy hours with co-workers and of those nearly a quarter go at least once a month. The survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder. com among 6, 987 full-time employees between February 11 and March 13.
Harris Interactive said the results had a sampling error of plus or minus 1. 2 percentage points.
本文主要论述了美国工人下班后喝酒的时候干什么的问题。 66. Harris Interactive made the survey to find out
______ .
A. how U. S.
workers spend their after-work time
B. what U. S.
workers do at after-work drinks C. the relationships between U. S. workers
D. who are most likely to attend after-work drinks 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段可知美国工人下班后经常聚会喝酒，而主要内容不是说别人坏话，就是饮酒过量。因此推断，这项调查的目的是为了弄清楚工人下班后喝酒时干什么。 67. ______
of workers who attend after-work drinks speak ill of a colleague.
A. 4 percentB. 8 percent C. 16 percent
D. 10 percent 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段“16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague, ”可知。bad-mouth是“说坏话”的意思。 68. According to the passage,
most of those surveyed believed attending after-work drinks
______ .
A. benefited them a lot B. could provide information C. only made them relaxed D. was of no help to them 【解析】选D。 细节理解题。根据第二段“. . . 85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position. ”可知85%的人认为这种聚会没什么好处。 69. We can learn from the text that ______
.
A. workers over 55 don’t like to attend happy hours at all B. about 75% of workers attend happy hours more than once a month C. 10. 5% of male workers attend happy hours with co-workers D. about 700 workers surveyed shared a secret about a co-worker 【解析】选D。 推理判断题。第二段中“. . . workers over 55 least likely to attend”意思是55岁以上的工人很少去聚会喝酒，并不能说明他们都不喜欢，排除A；“. . . nearly a quarter go at least once a month”近四分之一的人每周去一次并不意味着剩下的四分之三的人每周就去两次以上，还有些人可能不会去，排除B；文章中没有确切的信息说明男工中有10. 5%的人参加聚会，排除C；根据第二段“10 percent shared a secret about a colleague”和第三段“. . . among 6, 987 full-time employees. . . ”可知D正确。 70. After the survey,
it can be inferred that ______
.
A. all the workers oppose after-work drinks B. the workers may change their attitudes towards after-work drinks C. all the workers support after-work drinks D. all the workers are suggested going to attend after-work drinks 【解析】选B。推理判断题。综合文章介绍的情况，85%的被调查者认为下班后聚会喝酒并没有带来什么帮助，因此被调查者应该会改变对这种聚会的态度。而A、C、D三项过于绝对化。 （D） When it comes to dieting,
most of us are willing to turn to a trick or two to help us control our appetite and eat less—drinking water to fill up when we’re hungry,
for example,
or choose artificial sweeteners instead of sugar to get the same satisfying sweetness without the offending calories.
But new research suggests that the body is not so easily fooled,
and that sugar substitutes are no key to weight loss.
In a series of experiments,
scientists at Purdue University compared weight gain and eating habits in rats whose diets were provided with sweetened food containing either zero-calorie saccharin(糖精)or sugar.
The report,
published in Behavioral Neuroscience,
presents some counter-intuitive(反直觉的)findings:
Animals fed with artificially sweetened yogurt over a two-week period consumed more calories and gained more weight—mostly in the form of fat—than animals eating yogurt containing glucose(葡萄糖),
a natural,
high-calorie sweetener.
It’s a continuation of work the Purdue group began in 2004,
when they reported that animals consuming saccharin-sweetened liquids and snacks tended to eat more than animals fed high-calorie,
sweetened foods.
The new study,
say the scientists,
offers stronger evidence that how we eat may depend on automatic,
conditioned responses to food.
So does that mean you should ditch the artificial sweeteners and welcome sugar back into your life?
Not exactly.
Extra sugar in the diet can lead to diabetes and heart disease,
even independent of its effect on weight.
But it’s worth remembering that when it comes to counting calories,
it’s not just the ones you eat that you have to worry about.
The calories you give up matter too and they may very well reappear in that extra helping of pasta or dessert that your body demands.
Your body may actually be keeping better count than you are.
文章主要介绍糖的代替品也能让人变胖的问题。 71. This text most probably appears in a magazine about ______
.
A. dieting B. science C. animals
D. health 【解析】选D。推理判断题。此题要从文章的整体去把握。整篇文章主要介绍糖的代替品也能让人变胖的问题，所以可推断出这篇文章应该出现在关于“健康”的杂志上。 72. Which statement about the experiment is right?
A. Rats eating low-sugar food gained less weight.
B. Rats eating high-sugar food gained more weight.
C. Rats were given two different kinds of food respectively.
D. The experiment result was completely strange to the scientists.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段可知，在实验中老鼠分别被给予人工加糖的低糖酸乳和含葡萄糖的酸乳两种食品。再根据第二段第三句可知被给予前一种食品的老鼠比被给予后一种食品的老鼠增加了更多的体重，即两种老鼠的体重都增加了，故C项正确，A、B两项均错误；再根据第二段可知该实验结果2004年的研究人员就提出来了，所以对现在的研究人员来说并非是完全陌生的，故D项错误。 73. The underlined word “ditch” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______ ”.
A. abandon B. accustom C. acceptD. relieve 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。上文介绍了糖的代替品也能让人变胖。根据上下文可知本句意为“那是不是就意味着在生活中你应该放弃食用糖的代替品而重新青睐糖呢？”，所以，ditch此处应意为“放弃”，故A正确。 74. What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A. Rats like both sugars and sugar substitutes.
B. Body can’t be controlled at random in food by man.
C. People should turn to sugar substitutes to lose weight.
D. Sugar substitutes and sugars have the same effect on people.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。文章第二段叙述了食用两种含糖食品的老鼠都增加了体重，并非证明老鼠喜欢含糖食品，故A错误；根据第二段最后一句及第三段最后两句可知，人体对食物的需要及依赖是由人体本身自动决定的，并非受人为控制，故B项正确；根据文章可知不论是糖的代替品还是糖都能增加人的体重，但二者对人体的影响却不尽相同，故C、D两项错误。 75. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Can sugar substitutes make you fat?
B. How can we lose weight easily?
C. Sugar substitutes and sugar,
which is better?
D. Why can’t man lose weight by adjusting the diet?
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章主要介绍糖的代替品是否也能让人变胖的问题。只有A项正确概括了本文主题。 第Ⅱ卷 Ⅴ. 书面表达(共1题，满分35分) ［2010宿州高三检测］ 现在各类电视节目广泛使用短信作为参与方式，人们对此评价不一。请你根据下表提供的信息介绍人们的看法，并谈谈个人的观点。
要求：1. 文章应包括以上所有内容，对所给要点不要单纯翻译。 2. 要有个人观点。 3. 词汇：青少年adolescent At present,
short messages ________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 At present,
short messages are widely involved in various TV programs.
People react to them in different ways. Some hold the view that short messages offer the audience more chances to participate in the live programs.
In this way,
the mass media benefit a lot from them.
Moreover,
they appeal to the need of the young people,
so it is a most popular way for young people today. Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control,
we cannot ensure the taste of the program.
What’s more,
such kind of messages usually cost more than usual ones;
the expense may cause bad feelings among audience.
To make matters worse,
some adolescents are so addicted to them that too much time and energy are wasted. As far as I am concerned,
the short message is a typical thing of information technology,
but it is a powerful tool that needs to be used with care.
【备选题】 Ⅰ. 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意问题后的词数要求） ［1］I was 13 years old.
My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before.
I hit adolescence with a vengeance .
I was angry and rebellious,
with little regard for anything my parents had to say,
particularly if it had to do with me.
Like so many teenagers,
I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t agree with my picture of the world.
A “brilliant without need of guidance” kid,
I rejected any overt offering of love.
In fact,
I got angry at the mention of the word love.
［2］One night,
after a particularly difficult day, I ______
,
shut the door and got into bed.
As I lay down in the privacy of my bed,
my hands slipped under my pillow.
There was an envelope.
I pulled it out and on the envelope it said,
“To read when you’re alone. ” ［3］Since I was alone,
no one would know whether I read it or not,
so I opened it.
It said “Mike,
I know life is hard right now. I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t do everything right.
I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that.
I am here for you if you ever need to talk,
and if you don’t,
that’s okay.
Just know that no matter where you go or what you do in your life,
I will always love you and be proud that you are my son.
I’m here for you and I love you － that will never change.
Love,
Mom. ” ［4］That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters.
They were never mentioned until I was an adult.

Ben Saunders was the last
kid in his class picked for any sports team.
“Football,
tennis,
cricket—anything with a
round ball,
I was useless, ” he says now
with a laugh.
But back then he was the one
always made fun of in school gym classes in
Devonshire,
England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him.
At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest.
Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend.
Gradually,
Saunders set his mind on building up his body,
increasing his speed and strength.
At the age of 18,
he ran his first marathon. The following year,
he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland，where he learned about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits.
Greatly interested，Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures,
then decided that this would be his future.
In 2001,
after becoming a skillful skier,
Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole.
It took unbelievable energy.
He suffered frostbite(冻伤),
ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit,
pulling his supply loaded sled(雪橇)up and over rocky ice.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole,
and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man.
His old playmates would not believe the change.
Next October,
Saunders,
27,
heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back,
a 2，900-kilometre journey that has never been completed on skis.
本文主要讲述了起初Ben Saunders不喜欢体育运动，后来加强体质锻炼，增强了体质，完成了北极探险；之后又决定探险南极。 56. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?

C. He joined a sports team.
D. He made his first friend.

______ .
A. journeysB. researches C. adventures D. operations 【解析】选C。词义猜测题。该词前面的“. . . School of Adventure. . . ”有一定提示作用；下文的“. . . Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures,
then decided that this would be his future. ”也提示了该词应与“adventures”近义。 58. The story mainly tells us Saunders ______
.
A. is a success in sports B. is the best British skier C. is Ridgway’s favorite friend D. is a good instructor at school 【解析】选A。推理判断题。通读全文可知Saunders克服了重重困难完成了北极探险，而又决定独自探险南极。从这些不难判断出：他是一名成功的运动员，也可以说是一位成功的探险家。其余选项都是对他的片面认识。 59. What’s the right order of the events related to Ben Saunders?
a. He ran his first marathon.
b. He skied alone in the North Pole.
c. He rode his bike in a forest.
d. He planned an adventure to the South Pole.

D. Lonely and successful.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。通读全文，可知起初Ben Saunders不喜欢体育运动，后来加强体质锻炼，增强体质，完成了北极探险；又决定探险南极。根据这些我们不难判断出他是一个 “意志坚强、勇敢的”人，所以选C；其余选项在文中没有充足的信息支持。 （B） ［2010泰安高三检测］ Archaeologists believe they are on the
turning point of throwing light on the life of
William Shakespeare — by excavating(发掘) what may have been the playwright’s dust hole.
Experts have begun excavating the ruins of New Place,
Shakespeare’s former home in Stratford-upon-Avon,
which was destroyed 250 years ago.
Although little remains of the property,
the team,
led by Birmingham Archaeology,
believes it has identified a dust hole used by the 16th century poet.
Small pieces of pottery(陶瓷)and broken clay pipe have already been found from a muddy hole on the site,
which they claim could yield some of the most significant discoveries about Shakespeare in decades.
The dig focuses on three areas of the property,
which Shakespeare bought in 1597 when he returned to his home town from London having achieved fame—including the so-called knot garden at the back of the building.
Dr Diana Owen,
Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust,
which owns the site,
said,
“We do not know if the knot garden was an area used by Shakespeare—it may have been a yard simply used by his servants.
But this could actually yield some fantastic results,
especially if it was an area where rubbish was thrown or the dust hole was located. ” Kevin Colls, from Birmingham Archaeology, added,
“Through documentary evidence we know Shakespeare lived at New Place but we have very little information regarding the layout(布局)of the houses and gardens at this time.
Through archaeological fieldwork,
in particular the dig of structural remains and the recovery of artefacts,
we hope to fill in the blanks. ” Until October,
visitors will be able to watch archaeologists and volunteers at work as they excavate the remains of the house,
which was knocked down in 1759.
Experts hope to unearth evidence to support theories that Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous works at the property.
本文主要讲述了探索莎士比亚的生前生活的考古情况。 61. The purpose of the excavation is to ______
.
A. know something about the playwright’s dust hole B. search for some treasure in the dust hole C. explore the life of William Shakespeare D. find something that Shakespeare lost 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段可知此次发掘的目的就是探索莎士比亚的生前生活。其余选项均是关于本次发掘的一些相关细节，并非挖掘目的。 62. New Place was destroyed in the
______
century.
A. 15thB. 16th C. 17thD. 18th 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Experts have begun excavating the ruins of New Place,
Shakespeare’s former home in Stratford-upon-Avon,
which was destroyed 250 years ago. ”可知New Place是在18世纪被破坏的。 63. Small pieces of pottery and broken clay pipe on the site ______
.
A. could show Shakespeare’s luxurious life B. could lead to important discoveries about Shakespeare C. could show us that Shakespeare lived at New Place D. could prove when New Place was knocked down 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“. . . which they claim could yield some of the most significant discoveries about Shakespeare in decades. ”可知B项与题目要求相吻合。 64. The underlined phrase “the blanks” in Paragraph 5 refers to
______ .
A. the ruins of New Place B. the smallest pieces of broken pottery C. three areas of the property D. the layout of the houses and gardens of New Place 【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句，可知根据书面证据知道这个时间莎士比亚生活在New Place，但是一直没有关于其房屋及花园布局的相关信息，这正是下文讲的所要填补的“空白”之处，故选D。 65. What can we learn from the text?
A. Shakespeare used to live at New Place.
B. Shakespeare became famous after 1597.
C. Only his servants used the knot garden.
D. Dr Diana Owen owns Shakespeare’s property.
