　　It all starts with a tree, with several trees, in fact. Since the first modern guitars were made in northern Spain over 150 years ago, craftspeople have known that a guitar is only as good as the wood of which it is made.

　　Every guitar is made of several different kinds of wood.Each piece is carefully chosen and then cut to fit the part of the guitar for which it is designed.The most important part of any guitar is the soundboard (共鸣板)—the piece of wood with the large hole that lies underneath the strings. Guitar－makers are careful to make the soundboard just the right shape and thickness. Then they glue strips of wood across the inside in a special pattern. This bracing (支柱)helps strengthen the soundboard. It also improves the tone of the guitar.

　　Wood for the curvy (弯曲的) sides of the guitar must be soaked in water and bent over a hot iron pipe. When all the

　　pieces of the guitar are ready, they are carefully glued together.

　　Special woodworking tools are used to shape and smooth the neck of the guitar. Craftspeople must make sure the neck is perfectly centered over the soundboard.

　　Finally it is time to apply varnish or lacquer (漆). This brings out the beauty of the wood and protects it from moisture (潮气)and wear and tear (裂缝). Varnish also improves the sound of the guitar—but too much makes the guitar sound flat and dull!

　　Guitar strings are attached and tightened to make just the right musical tones. And_now—it's_time_for_a_song!

　　36．In order to make the soundboard strong, ________.

　　A．people tie strings on the top of it

　　B．strips of wood are glued across the inside

　　C．a large hole is made in it

　　D．several pieces of wood are glued together

　　【答案与解析】　B　推断题。可根据“glue strips of wood across the inside”和“This bracing helps strengthen the soundboard”判断。37．________ if too much varnish is applied to the wood.

　　A．The beauty of the wood can be seen clearly

　　B．The sound of the guitar will be less beautiful

　　C．The tone of the guitar will be improved

　　D．A guitar will never tear【答案与解析】　B　细节题。从倒数第2段看，太多的漆可使吉他的声音平淡、枯燥。

　　38．By saying “And now—it's time for a song！”， the author really means ________.

　　A．it is time for people to sing songs

　　B．a guitar is a good musical tool for a party

　　C．a guitar has been finished

　　D．a concert is about to begin

　　【答案与解析】　C　推断题。根据最后一句看，把吉他弦上好并绷紧后，一个吉他也就做完了。39．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The soundboard made of one piece of wood is better.

　　B．The shape of the soundboard is not very important.

　　C．The thickness of the soundboard affects the tone of the guitar.

　　D．The strings must be tied properly under the soundboard.

　　【答案与解析】　C　细节题。根据“make the soundboard just the right shape and thickness”判断，共鸣板的厚度影响吉他的音调，所以C项正确。

　　B

　　Becoming aware of the warning signs of learning disabilities and giving children the necessary help early can be key to a child's future.

　　Learning disabilities affect one in seven people according to the National Institutes of Health. Parents, therefore, need to be familiar with the early indicators of a learning disability in order to offer the right help as soon as possible.

　　The earlier a learning disability is detected, the better chance a child will have of succeeding in school and in life. Parents are encouraged to understand the warning signs of a learning disability from as early as pre－school. The first years in school are especially crucial for a young child.

　　The most common learning disability is difficulty with language and reading. A recent National Institutes of Health study showed that 67 percent of young students identified as being at risk for reading difficulties were able

　　to achieve average or above average reading ability when they received help early.

　　Many children and adults with learning disabilities remain undiagnosed and go through life with this “hidden handicap (障碍)．”The resulting problems can lead to poor self－esteem, failure to thrive in school, and difficulty in the workplace. With early detection and intervention (干预), parents can give their children the necessary skills for coping with and compensating (补偿) for the learning disability.

　　All children learn in highly individual ways. Children with learning disabilities simply process information differently, but they are generally of normal or above－average intelligence. Having a learning disability can affect a child's ability to read, write, speak, do math, and build social relationships.

　　40．What does the text mainly tell us?

　　A．Learning disability is a serious problem among children.

　　B．Learning disability will affect children later in life.

　　C．Knowing the warning signs of learning disability of children and helping them is important.

　　D．The warning signs of learning disability are hard to find.

　　【答案与解析】　C　主旨题。第1段是文章的主题段，主要讲述了“了解学习障碍的征兆并给孩子必要的帮助对他们至关重要”。41．From the text we can infer that ________.

　　A．learning disabilities are very common among people

　　B．few people suffer from learning disabilities

　　C．learning disabilities mainly happen to pre－school children

　　D．67 percent of young students have learning disabilities

　　【答案与解析】　A　推断题。文章的第2段谈到“每七个人中就有一个患有学习障碍”，所以学习障碍在人们当中非常普遍。

　　42．In this passage the word unlined word “crucial” probably means ________.

　　A．quite possible

　　B．necessary

　　C．most important

　　D．invisible

　　【答案与解析】　C　词义推测题。根据“家长在孩子学前时期就应觉察孩子患有学习障碍的征兆”以及especially判断，该词的意思是“重要的”。

　　43．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A．If a child is diagnosed with a learning disability earlier, he will have better chance to get over it.

　　B．Most of the children with learning disabilities can become normal with necessary help.

　　C．Giving children with learning disabilities the right help can prevent them from failure.

　　D．Most of the children with learning disability have intelligence problems.

　　【答案与解析】　D　推断题。短文的最后一段中讲到“患有学习障碍的孩子们一般智力正常或高于正常水平”。由此判断D项错误。

　　C

　　WHAT IS ZERO CARBON CITY?

　　Zero Carbon City is our global campaign to raise awareness about climate change and the energy challenges facing the world’s cities.

　　WHY ZERO CARBON CITY?

　　An increasing majority of the world’s population are living in cities. A significant part of climate change is affected by the actions of people in these cities. That is why we we’re running a campaign that concentrates on the relationship between climate change and cities.

　　WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?

　　Climate change is caused by gases that limit the heat radiated into outer space, by creating a blanket of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. This trapped heat then increases the Earth’s temperature. Water vapour has some part in the greenhouse effect; however, it’s the increase in carbon dioxide, methane(甲烷), and ozone(臭氧) that has been the greatest cause of climate change. All of

　　these gases have increased over the past 300 years as a direct result of human industry and population growth.

　　WHY WORK IN CITIES?

　　As major energy consumers, cities occupy an important position in the climate change. They are centres of innovation（改革）, where action is most likely to happen. Cities also have great potential to make a difference; change in cities can have a significant effect on the global situation.

　　HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

　　Zero Carbon City will visit over 60 countries around the world with a wide variety of interactive(交互式的) events, including city debates, a touring photography exhibition, workshops, school projects, and experiments. Why not find out more from our selection of related articles, books and websites.

　　44．What is the purpose of Zero Carbon City?

　　A．To improve the relationship between nature and humans.

　　B．To limit the increase of world population.

　　C．To reduce the use of natural resources.

　　D．To raise people's awareness about population.

　　【答案与解析】　A　推断题。根据第2部分中的“集中在天气变化和城市之间的关系的一项运动”判断，其目的是为了改进“自然与人类之间的关系”。

　　45．Why does Zero Carbon City mainly go to cities?

　　A．Population is the cities is creasing very fast.

　　B．The climate is the cities is changeable.

　　C．Cities are to blame for the climate change.

　　D．The campaign can be easily developed in cities.

　　【答案与解析】　D　细节题。根据第4部分看“城市是改革的中心，在那里行动很容易发生”，由此判断，在城市里“运动能很容易展开”。

　　46．Which of the following is NOT the cause of greenhouse effect?

　　A．The water vapor in the air.

　　B．Gases like methane and ozone.

　　C．The heat people have produced.

　　D．The out space.【答案与解析】　D　细节题。根据第3部分看，外层空间不是引起温室效应的原因。

　　47.We can conclude from the passage ________.A．climate change is mainly caused by people in cities

　　B．the increase of population is the main cause of pollution

　　C．human activity is one of the most important causes of pollution

　　D．air pollution is the greatest pollution in our modern world【答案与解析】　C　推断题。城市是能源消耗大户，在气候改变方面起重要作用。而能源消耗的主体是人，所以“人类活动是导致污染的重要原因之一”。

　　D

　　The discovery of two large pieces of the Titanic's hull (残骸) on the ocean floor indicates the fabled luxury liner (豪华客轮) sank faster than previously thought, researchers said Monday.

　　The hull pieces were a crucial (主要) part of the ship's structure and make up a bottom section of the vessel missing when the wreck was first located in 1985, the researchers said.After the bottom section of the hull broke free, the bow and stern (船尾) split, said Roger Long, a naval architect who analyzed the find.The stern, which was still buoyant and filled with survivors, likely plungged toward the North Atlantic floor about five minutes later. “It turns out the Titanic was more merciful. It was over more quickly，” Brown said.

　　Previous researchers believed the ship broke in just two major pieces, the bow and stern, which was how the sinking was described in the 1997 film version of the

　　catastrophe. David Brown, a Titanic historian, estimated before the latest find that the stern took 20 minutes to slide into the water.

　　The newly found hull sections, located about a third of a mile from the stern of the wreck, were examined during an expedition in August sponsored by The History Channel.

　　On Monday, Titanic experts met at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to discuss their analysis of the find for a documentary to be aired on the cable channel on February 26.The sections, both about 40 feet by 90 feet, were once a single section and were found in good condition, with red bottom paint still visible. The missing sections had been believed to have broken up into hundreds of small pieces.

　　The 46,000－ton ship was billed as “practically unsinkable” by the publicity magazines of the period.It struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank about 2.5 hours later, on April 14, 1912.About 1,500 people died.

　　Explorer Robert Ballard found the bulk of the wreck in 1985, at a depth of 13,000 feet and about 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland.Ballard was not impressed with the expedition's find.

　　48．Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?

　　A．New Find Indicates Titanic Sank Faster Than Thought

　　B．Titanic's Hull Was Discovered on the Ocean Floor

　　C．Two Titanic's Missing Sections Have been Found

　　D．Which Sank Faster, the Bow and Stern

　　【答案与解析】　A　主旨题。第1段为主题段，新的发现表明Titanic比原先预想的要下沉得快。所以用A项作题目可起到画龙点睛的作用。

　　49．By saying “It turns out the Titanic was more merciful...”， the write indicates that ________.A．we should have mercy on those who died at that time

　　B．people had fewer chances to survive the disaster

　　C．it took so few time for such a large ship to sink

　　D．the survivors of the accident were those on the stern【答案与解析】　C　推断题。原以为Titanic用了20分钟才沉入海底，而事实上只用了大约5分钟。作者说这句话的含义是船快速地沉海了，没有使人们遭受更长时间的痛苦，所以是“仁慈的”。

　　50．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．In fact it took over 20 minutes for the ship to sink to the bottom of the sea.

　　B．After the ship was hit by the iceberg, it broke into two pieces.

　　C．With the latest find experts can know more about the disaster.

　　D．The other sections all broke into small pieces except the bow and the stein.

　　【答案与解析】　C　细节题。最新的发现可以帮助专家们更多地了解Titanic。

　　Dear Brad,

　　I'm a student from Xinhua Senior High School. I have some difficulty communicating with my parents. Although I have tried my best, I find it really difficult to make them satisfied. So I feel lonely sometimes. I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Brad

　　【答案】　

　　One possible version：

　　Dear Li Hua,

　　I feel greatly honored to be trusted with your personal affairs.

　　I have to say that you are not alone when having trouble communicating with your parents. Almost everybody has it or had it when they were in their adolescence. Therefore, it's a common problem shared by many, whose cause lies in what we call “generation gap”．

　　As for my advice for you, first, don't hide your feelings. You can make it a routine to share your thoughts with your parents. Second, convince them you have tried your best. It is not their fault to place high expectations on their child.I believe they will be satisfied with you as long as they know you have tried whatever you can to live up to their standard.

　　Anyway, there is no one who loves you more than your parents in the world.Whatever you do, they will always be there for you. Love them, and love can heal everything.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Brad
