A Few Famous Left handed Persons
Bill Gates
Claiming the nation’s richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for America’s society of southpaws (左撇子)．In fact，the Microsoft titan (巨人) and philanthropist (慈善家) is one of a surprising number of U．S. business areas to be left handed，including Henry Ford，John D. Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner.But the club seems to be a only guys fraternity (联谊会)．Research suggests that while left handed men tend to earn more than their right handed colleagues，there is no similar advantage for women.A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left handed men favor “divergent” (发散性) thinking，a form of creativity in which the brain moves “from conventional knowledge into unexplored association”．Maybe that’s what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at least 570 billion dollars.
Oprah Winfrey
The talk show queen doesn’t need much more to set her apart from the rest.She has her estimated 2.7 billion dollars fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them，but she also has the distinction of being a member of the left handed club.Men are more likely to be left handed than women，which makes Oprah more impressive.She’s “in good company”：other showbiz ladies of the southpaw persuasion include Whoopi Goldberg，Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie (her husband Brad Pitt is also a lefty)．
Napoleon Bonaparte
Legend has it that Napoleon objected to the timehonored military practice of marching on the left side of the road with weapons at the ready in the right hand：it put lefties (左撇子) like him at a strategic disadvantage.Once in power，the story goes，the French Emperor，whose queen，Josephine，was also a southpaw，ordered his armies to change sides.Civilians in countries he conquered had to do the same.Hence，it’s said that the rules of the road were born，which also explains why the British (who，along with the Prussians，defeated Napoleon at Waterloo) still drive on the left.
Marie Curie
Not only was atomic scientist Marie Curie left handed，but she was the matriarch (女家长) of a whole family of accomplished，southpaw scientists.Curie，who discovered the principles of radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes，was married to fellow lefty Pierre Curie，who was playing an important part in helping Marie’s atomic research and shared one of her Nobel awards.Historians believed their daughter，Irene，was also left handed.Irene went on to win a Nobel Prize of her own with her husband，who，you guessed it，was also left handed.
Lefty scientists are hardly unusual.In addition to the Curie Clan，Einstein，Newton and Alan Turing—founders of modern computer science were all left handed as well.
25．Through this passage，the author mainly wants to tell us that ________
A．Bill Gates’s contribution to society is greater than Marie Curie
B．Napoleon Bonaparte made the rules of the road in England
C．Oprah Winfrey had nothing but 7 billion dollars for tune at that time
D．4 persons were not only successful but all left handed
26．According to the first paragraph，what maybe develop a net worth estimated at least 570 billion dollars?
A．Club of southpaw.
B．Woman advantage.
C．Divergent thinking.
D．Conventional knowledge.
27．What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．Oprah Winfrey has a special ability to sell books only by glancing at them.
B．Oprah Winfrey is completely different from other left handed women.
C．Oprah’s appearance makes her doubly impressive in the left handed club.
D．Oprah Winfrey and her husband are both southpaws.
28．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife are both left handed.
B．Marie Curie and her husband are both left handed.
C．Irene，Marie Cure’s daughter，and her husband are left handed.
D．Brad Pitt’s wife，Julia Roberts，is also left handed.
C
The very last topic any parent wants to discuss is cancer.In fact，wouldn’t it be wonderful if the topic never had to be broached？Unfortunately，few among us haven’t been touched，in some way，by the disease.
One teacher at Howell’s Land O’Pines School decided last year to make a learning experience out of cancer awareness，and with the help of his fellow teachers，has succeeded in taking a terrible subject and turning it into something that allows the children to make a difference while helping others.
The Hats On Day project began a decade ago in Missouri when a fifth grade class wanted to raise money to help a fellow classmate battling cancer.The children wanted to raise awareness about the effects of chemotherapy(化疗)and decided to wear hats to show their support for people who lose their hair while undergoing treatment for cancer.
During the 10 years since the first Hats On Day，the project has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children with cancer.Raymond Gredder，a fifth grade teacher at Land O’Pines，heads up the program locally.As part of the project，Land O’Pines students are asked to bring in monetary donations this week that will be contributed to the Foundation for Children with Cancer.
This is the second year Land O’Pines is participating in the Hats On Day project.Last year the Student Council organized the weeklong collection and raised more than 2,000.This year Gredder is running the program through the fifth grade health curriculum.He believes it is extremely important for children to be involved in events such as Hats On Day that promote an awareness and understanding of people in need.
29．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Pupils Put on Their Hats to Show Off
B．Pupils Put on Their Hats to Help Other Youngsters
C．How to Deal with the Children with Cancer
D．How to Get along with the Children with Cancer
30．From the first two paragraphs，we can learn _______________________________
A．parents are unwilling to discuss the disease cancer
B．it is unfortunate for some children to develop cancer
C．few people have been touched by cancer
D．the students helped a teacher with cancer
31．Which of the following is NOT the purpose to practice Hats On Day for the people with cancer?
A．To raise money.
B．To show support.
C．To protect hair.
D．To raise awareness.
32．The underlined word “broached” in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A．ignored B．discussed
C．felt D．avoided
D
Here are the four most common stereotypes(固有观念)regarding college education in the United States.
Myth No.1：American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.
There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States，each with varying admission standards.Some are highly selective，and some not at all.The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well being，but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours a night on their homework.There is a phrase in the United States called an“all nighter” which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment.
Myth No.2：American students party all night and day.
The college life portrayed(描述)in movies such as “Animal House” is very much a stereotype.While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full extra curricular lifestyle，they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior and academic excellence.
Myth No.3：American students are all rich and can afford a college education.
Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes，most American college students come from moderate income families.At some universities，up to 80% of the student body receives some form of financial aid from the university and other sources.
Myth No.4：Most college students live in large cities which are crime ridden with drugs and drive by shootings.
Of all industrialized nations，the United States has one of the lowest crime rates.College campuses are no exception.Safety is of primary importance to all students，parents，and staff at a university.Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students，from campus transportation services to on campus police officers.The majority of universities located outside of the city are extremely safe.
33．We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A．people are likely to have wrong ideas about American college education
B．there are only four common stereotypes about American college education
C．people around the world have common ideas about American college education
D．American college education is little known to people in other countries
34．In high selective colleges in the US，________.
A．students don’t care about their academic well being
B．students prefer to study in the evening
C．admission standards are still varying
D．“all nighters”are commonly seen
35．People tend to believe that American college students ________.
A．have all passed strict selections
B．have less pressure from academic requirements
C．work as hard as those in other countries
D．spend countless hours a night on their homework
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
__36__In very general terms，pop culture，or popular culture，includes the movies，television shows，sports，music，cooking，clothing styles and other examples of mass culture that a society produces.
Many professors who study culture argue about what is，what is not，and what once was but is no longer，popular culture.__37__
Most people would probably agree that popular culture is influenced in some way by the cultural products that sell well and make money.Some experts note the differences between a popular or “low” culture and a “high” culture valued by wealthier and more educated people in a society.For example，such experts might say that a song by Britney Spears is an example for pop culture.__38__
Then again，other experts believe that there is no longer a “low” and “high” culture because the two have mixed together.The American economist Tyler Cowen does not believe in organizing culture into high and low.Instead，he says that a strong economy makes all kinds of culture possible.
__39__He is the father of Pop Art.During the nineteen sixties，Warhol created a movement that celebrated turning everyday images of famous people and food advertisements into fine art.
__40__Andy Warhol said that once you understood Pop you could never see a sign the same way again.And he said that once you thought Pop，you could never see America the same way again.
A．Professors have no idea of what it is.
B．But music by classical composers like Mozart or Bach is not.
C．Pop artists praised popular culture in all of its forms.
D．Pop culture varies from country to country.
E．The fact that popular culture is always changing makes it even more difficult to define exactly.
F．Speaking of popular culture we must talk about Andy Warhol.
G．What is popular culture?

阅读理解
21．D [细节理解题。纵览全文，特别是由第三段中的“I prefer Chinese festivals.”和第四段中的“I like Chinese festivals better...”可知，本题答案为D。]
22．C [细节理解题。由第一段中的“Christmas”和第七段中的“April Fools’ Day and Halloween”可知，本文总共提到了三个西方节日。]
23．A [推理判断题。由文章第六段中的“But I want to spend more time with friends.”和第九段中的“I want to be as cool as other young people.”可以得知，Susan就是想和朋友更多地待在一起，而Linda是为了赶时髦。因此可以判断这两个人喜欢西方节日的目的不同。]
24．C [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“While embracing the Western festivals with curiosity and enthusiasm，don’t forget our own festivals.”可得出，这位老师更注重和推崇中国的传统节日。故选C。]
25．D [作者意图题。根据全文内容可知，文章讲述了四位著名人物的共性，他们不仅在各自的领域取得了伟大成就，而且都是左撇子。故选D。]
26．C [细节理解题。根据第一段的最后两句“A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left handed men favor ‘divergent’(发散性)thinking，a form of creativity in which the brain moves “from conventional knowledge into unexplored association”．Maybe that’s what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at least 570 billion.”可知，也许就是发散性思维创造了一个价值估计至少为5 700亿美元的“网络”。]
27．A [细节理解题。由第二段中的“The talk show queen doesn’t need much more to set her apart from the rest.She has her estimated 2.7 billion fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them”得知，她有一种魔力就是仅需瞄一眼就能把书卖掉。故选A。]
28．D [细节理解题。由第二段最后一句中的“...Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie(her husband Brad Pitt is also a lefty)．”得知，Brad Pitt是Angelina Jolie的丈夫。故选D。]
29．B [由本文的内容可知，B项为最佳选项。]
30．A [从第一段第一句话可知，家长们最不愿讨论的话题就是癌症。]

33．A [people are likely to have wrong ideas about American college education从文章第一句可知，人们对美国大学教育的错误观念不止四项，因此推断人们很容易对美国大学教育产生错误观念。]
34．D [“all nighters” are commonly seen从文章对第一种认知错误的解释来看，在淘汰率高的大学，学生学习刻苦，“通宵达旦者”并不鲜见。]
35．B [have less pressure from academic requirements从文章对第一种认知错误的解释来看，人们认为美国学生课业负担不大，学习不如其他国家的学生刻苦。]
36---40:．G .E. B .F . C
完形填空：
41．D [考查上下文暗示。下一句提到作者对其他人的内心感受非常敏感，而人的内心感受往往通过举止表现出来，由此可推断作者发现这对夫妇的“举止”有一点奇怪，从而引起了作者的注意。C项表示“外表”，与下一句的内容不相符。]
42．B [考查逻辑推理，上一句提到作者注意到这对夫妇的举止有一点奇怪，而空白处后面是“to the feelings”，故应用be sensitive to“对……敏感”。故选B。]
43．C [考查逻辑推理。作者通过观察立刻感觉到这对夫妇几乎支付不起外出就餐的费用。因此C项符合语境。]
44．A [考查段落间的内在逻辑关系。下一段提到作者产生了替这对夫妇埋单的念头，由此可推断作者认为他们几乎不能支付外出就餐的费用。所以hardly“几乎不”符合语境。]
45．D [考查逻辑推理。起初，作者对这种想法不予理会，可是这种想法反复出现在作者的脑海中，挥之不去。因此D项符合语境。]
46．B [考查逻辑推理。通过观察，作者开始产生一种替这对夫妇支付餐费的“欲望”。作者当时还没有付诸行动，所以A、C两项不正确；替别人埋单显然不是危险的事情，因此D项错误。]
47．C [考查逻辑推理。虽然作者并不富裕，但是能够负担得起这笔费用。作者当时打算主动替对方埋单，而不只是“面对”这件事，所以B项不恰当。]
48．C [考查逻辑推理。作者走近老板，想支付这对夫妇的饭费。所以approach“靠近，接近”符合题意。]
49．D [考查逻辑推理。根据本句中的“and might still order coffee”可知他们已经吃完了饭菜，本句中的course表示“一道菜”。根据下文可知作者替他们付了钱，因此干扰项C项不正确。]
50．A [考查语境化选词。老板告诉作者这对夫妇目前的账单消费“共计”75美元。come to sth.“合计，共计”。B、C、D三项均不符合题意。]
51．A [考查生活常识。作者与这对夫妇素不相识，却主动替他们埋单，老板自然会追问作者“为什么”替他们付钱。]
52．A [考查上下文暗示。根据本句后半句中的“...I tried to cover my feelings.”可知作者当时有一点顾虑，不愿向老板透露内心的想法。经过思想斗争后，最终还是作了解释。因此shy“迟疑的；提防的”符合题意。]
53．D [考查上下文暗示。通过观察，作者认为这对夫妇经济拮据，为了生活他们不得不努力拼搏。作者出于同情，伸出了援助之手。]
54．A [考查句子间的内在逻辑关系。作者心甘情愿地替他们埋单，“但是”作者不想让这对夫妇知道是谁替他们支付了饭费。]
55．C [考查逻辑推理。作者帮助这对夫妇完全发自肺腑，不追求任何回报，就算是送给他们的一件“礼物”。B项的意义过于模糊，不能很好地突出作者当时的慷慨及善意，因而不恰当。]
56．B [考查上下文暗示。这对夫妇前去结账时发现已经有人替他们支付了餐费，自然感到无比惊讶，不相信好运会降临到他们头上。]
57．D [考查逻辑推理。根据引号中的内容可知以前这样的事情在他们身上从未发生过，由此可推断此处表示的是否定含义，所以用nothing。]
58．C [考查逻辑推理。这对夫妇难以相信他们会有如此好运，这样的事情还是第一次，由此可推断他们从未“赢得”过任何东西或被给予过任何东西。故选C。其余三项既不符合语境，也不符合常识。]
59．D [考查上下文照应，此处like是介词，表示“像……一样”，与上文中的“like this has ever...”中的“like”照应。像这样的事情在这对夫妇身上从未发生过。A、B、C三项分别表示“除……之外(还)”；“为了”；“尽管”，都不符合语境。此外，引号中的开头部分也是提示。]
60．A [考查语篇理解。每当作者想起在饭店中替那对夫妇埋单的那件小事，嘴角就露出微笑。因此incident符合语境。]
My sister found a bird on the roadside.We named him Jack and kept(keep) him for about three years.He would greet us in a tree outside our bedroom，calling(called) “Hello” as we lay in bed in the(a) morning.He also passed “Hello” to the cats when they came into the room.We often played tricks on him(himself).We’d throw a coin as far as possible(possibly).Jack would fly away and bring it back for us ∧tothrow again.He would also catch the food thrown(throwing) to him from the other side of the room and sing happily.But for\ the most wonderful thing about Jack was(were) his musical ability.Leaving him at home all day，we would return at night to hear what(that) he’d picked up from the radio in the day.

Bill Gates
Claiming the nation’s richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for America’s society of southpaws (左撇子)．In fact，the Microsoft titan (巨人) and philanthropist (慈善家) is one of a surprising number of U．S. business areas to be left handed，including Henry Ford，John D. Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner.But the club seems to be a only guys fraternity (联谊会)．Research suggests that while left handed men tend to earn more than their right handed colleagues，there is no similar advantage for women.A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left handed men favor “divergent” (发散性) thinking，a form of creativity in which the brain moves “from conventional knowledge into unexplored association”．Maybe that’s what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at least 570 billion dollars.
Oprah Winfrey
The talk show queen doesn’t need much more to set her apart from the rest.She has her estimated 2.7 billion dollars fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them，but she also has the distinction of being a member of the left handed club.Men are more likely to be left handed than women，which makes Oprah more impressive.She’s “in good company”：other showbiz ladies of the southpaw persuasion include Whoopi Goldberg，Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie (her husband Brad Pitt is also a lefty)．
Napoleon Bonaparte
Legend has it that Napoleon objected to the timehonored military practice of marching on the left side of the road with weapons at the ready in the right hand：it put lefties (左撇子) like him at a strategic disadvantage.Once in power，the story goes，the French Emperor，whose queen，Josephine，was also a southpaw，ordered his armies to change sides.Civilians in countries he conquered had to do the same.Hence，it’s said that the rules of the road were born，which also explains why the British (who，along with the Prussians，defeated Napoleon at Waterloo) still drive on the left.
Marie Curie
Not only was atomic scientist Marie Curie left handed，but she was the matriarch (女家长) of a whole family of accomplished，southpaw scientists.Curie，who discovered the principles of radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes，was married to fellow lefty Pierre Curie，who was playing an important part in helping Marie’s atomic research and shared one of her Nobel awards.Historians believed their daughter，Irene，was also left handed.Irene went on to win a Nobel Prize of her own with her husband，who，you guessed it，was also left handed.
Lefty scientists are hardly unusual.In addition to the Curie Clan，Einstein，Newton and Alan Turing—founders of modern computer science were all left handed as well.
25．Through this passage，the author mainly wants to tell us that ________

The very last topic any parent wants to discuss is cancer.In fact，wouldn’t it be wonderful if the topic never had to be broached？Unfortunately，few among us haven’t been touched，in some way，by the disease.
One teacher at Howell’s Land O’Pines School decided last year to make a learning experience out of cancer awareness，and with the help of his fellow teachers，has succeeded in taking a terrible subject and turning it into something that allows the children to make a difference while helping others.
The Hats On Day project began a decade ago in Missouri when a fifth grade class wanted to raise money to help a fellow classmate battling cancer.The children wanted to raise awareness about the effects of chemotherapy(化疗)and decided to wear hats to show their support for people who lose their hair while undergoing treatment for cancer.
During the 10 years since the first Hats On Day，the project has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children with cancer.Raymond Gredder，a fifth grade teacher at Land O’Pines，heads up the program locally.As part of the project，Land O’Pines students are asked to bring in monetary donations this week that will be contributed to the Foundation for Children with Cancer.
This is the second year Land O’Pines is participating in the Hats On Day project.Last year the Student Council organized the weeklong collection and raised more than 2,000.This year Gredder is running the program through the fifth grade health curriculum.He believes it is extremely important for children to be involved in events such as Hats On Day that promote an awareness and understanding of people in need.
29．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Pupils Put on Their Hats to Show Off
B．Pupils Put on Their Hats to Help Other Youngsters

31．Which of the following is NOT the purpose to practice Hats On Day for the people with cancer?
A．To raise money.
B．To show support.
C．To protect hair.
D．To raise awareness.
32．The underlined word “broached” in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A．ignored B．discussed
C．felt D．avoided
D
Here are the four most common stereotypes(固有观念)regarding college education in the United States.
Myth No.1：American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.
There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States，each with varying admission standards.Some are highly selective，and some not at all.The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well being，but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours a night on their homework.There is a phrase in the United States called an“all nighter” which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment.
Myth No.2：American students party all night and day.
The college life portrayed(描述)in movies such as “Animal House” is very much a stereotype.While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full extra curricular lifestyle，they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior and academic excellence.
Myth No.3：American students are all rich and can afford a college education.
Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes，most American college students come from moderate income families.At some universities，up to 80% of the student body receives some form of financial aid from the university and other sources.
Myth No.4：Most college students live in large cities which are crime ridden with drugs and drive by shootings.
Of all industrialized nations，the United States has one of the lowest crime rates.College campuses are no exception.Safety is of primary importance to all students，parents，and staff at a university.Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students，from campus transportation services to on campus police officers.The majority of universities located outside of the city are extremely safe.
33．We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A．people are likely to have wrong ideas about American college education
B．there are only four common stereotypes about American college education
C．people around the world have common ideas about American college education
D．American college education is little known to people in other countries
34．In high selective colleges in the US，________.
A．students don’t care about their academic well being
B．students prefer to study in the evening
C．admission standards are still varying
D．“all nighters”are commonly seen
35．People tend to believe that American college students ________.
A．have all passed strict selections
B．have less pressure from academic requirements
C．work as hard as those in other countries
D．spend countless hours a night on their homework
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

__36__In very general terms，pop culture，or popular culture，includes the movies，television shows，sports，music，cooking，clothing styles and other examples of mass culture that a society produces.
Many professors who study culture argue about what is，what is not，and what once was but is no longer，popular culture.__37__
Most people would probably agree that popular culture is influenced in some way by the cultural products that sell well and make money.Some experts note the differences between a popular or “low” culture and a “high” culture valued by wealthier and more educated people in a society.For example，such experts might say that a song by Britney Spears is an example for pop culture.__38__
Then again，other experts believe that there is no longer a “low” and “high” culture because the two have mixed together.The American economist Tyler Cowen does not believe in organizing culture into high and low.Instead，he says that a strong economy makes all kinds of culture possible.
__39__He is the father of Pop Art.During the nineteen sixties，Warhol created a movement that celebrated turning everyday images of famous people and food advertisements into fine art.
__40__Andy Warhol said that once you understood Pop you could never see a sign the same way again.And he said that once you thought Pop，you could never see America the same way again.
A．Professors have no idea of what it is.
B．But music by classical composers like Mozart or Bach is not.
C．Pop artists praised popular culture in all of its forms.
D．Pop culture varies from country to country.
E．The fact that popular culture is always changing makes it even more difficult to define exactly.

阅读理解
21．D [细节理解题。纵览全文，特别是由第三段中的“I prefer Chinese festivals.”和第四段中的“I like Chinese festivals better...”可知，本题答案为D。]
22．C [细节理解题。由第一段中的“Christmas”和第七段中的“April Fools’ Day and Halloween”可知，本文总共提到了三个西方节日。]
23．A [推理判断题。由文章第六段中的“But I want to spend more time with friends.”和第九段中的“I want to be as cool as other young people.”可以得知，Susan就是想和朋友更多地待在一起，而Linda是为了赶时髦。因此可以判断这两个人喜欢西方节日的目的不同。]
24．C [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“While embracing the Western festivals with curiosity and enthusiasm，don’t forget our own festivals.”可得出，这位老师更注重和推崇中国的传统节日。故选C。]
25．D [作者意图题。根据全文内容可知，文章讲述了四位著名人物的共性，他们不仅在各自的领域取得了伟大成就，而且都是左撇子。故选D。]
26．C [细节理解题。根据第一段的最后两句“A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left handed men favor ‘divergent’(发散性)thinking，a form of creativity in which the brain moves “from conventional knowledge into unexplored association”．Maybe that’s what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at least 570 billion.”可知，也许就是发散性思维创造了一个价值估计至少为5 700亿美元的“网络”。]
27．A [细节理解题。由第二段中的“The talk show queen doesn’t need much more to set her apart from the rest.She has her estimated 2.7 billion fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them”得知，她有一种魔力就是仅需瞄一眼就能把书卖掉。故选A。]
28．D [细节理解题。由第二段最后一句中的“...Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie(her husband Brad Pitt is also a lefty)．”得知，Brad Pitt是Angelina Jolie的丈夫。故选D。]
29．B [由本文的内容可知，B项为最佳选项。]
30．A [从第一段第一句话可知，家长们最不愿讨论的话题就是癌症。]
31．C [从第三段第二句可知B、D项正确，由第四段第一句话可知A项正确，C项未提及，故选C。]
32．B [根据上下文的语境和文章开头第一句话中的“discuss”可知，B项为最佳选项。broach意为“提出话题”。]
33．A [people are likely to have wrong ideas about American college education从文章第一句可知，人们对美国大学教育的错误观念不止四项，因此推断人们很容易对美国大学教育产生错误观念。]
34．D [“all nighters” are commonly seen从文章对第一种认知错误的解释来看，在淘汰率高的大学，学生学习刻苦，“通宵达旦者”并不鲜见。]
35．B [have less pressure from academic requirements从文章对第一种认知错误的解释来看，人们认为美国学生课业负担不大，学习不如其他国家的学生刻苦。]
36---40:．G .E. B .F . C
完形填空：
41．D [考查上下文暗示。下一句提到作者对其他人的内心感受非常敏感，而人的内心感受往往通过举止表现出来，由此可推断作者发现这对夫妇的“举止”有一点奇怪，从而引起了作者的注意。C项表示“外表”，与下一句的内容不相符。]
42．B [考查逻辑推理，上一句提到作者注意到这对夫妇的举止有一点奇怪，而空白处后面是“to the feelings”，故应用be sensitive to“对……敏感”。故选B。]
43．C [考查逻辑推理。作者通过观察立刻感觉到这对夫妇几乎支付不起外出就餐的费用。因此C项符合语境。]
44．A [考查段落间的内在逻辑关系。下一段提到作者产生了替这对夫妇埋单的念头，由此可推断作者认为他们几乎不能支付外出就餐的费用。所以hardly“几乎不”符合语境。]
45．D [考查逻辑推理。起初，作者对这种想法不予理会，可是这种想法反复出现在作者的脑海中，挥之不去。因此D项符合语境。]
46．B [考查逻辑推理。通过观察，作者开始产生一种替这对夫妇支付餐费的“欲望”。作者当时还没有付诸行动，所以A、C两项不正确；替别人埋单显然不是危险的事情，因此D项错误。]
47．C [考查逻辑推理。虽然作者并不富裕，但是能够负担得起这笔费用。作者当时打算主动替对方埋单，而不只是“面对”这件事，所以B项不恰当。]
48．C [考查逻辑推理。作者走近老板，想支付这对夫妇的饭费。所以approach“靠近，接近”符合题意。]
49．D [考查逻辑推理。根据本句中的“and might still order coffee”可知他们已经吃完了饭菜，本句中的course表示“一道菜”。根据下文可知作者替他们付了钱，因此干扰项C项不正确。]
50．A [考查语境化选词。老板告诉作者这对夫妇目前的账单消费“共计”75美元。come to sth.“合计，共计”。B、C、D三项均不符合题意。]
51．A [考查生活常识。作者与这对夫妇素不相识，却主动替他们埋单，老板自然会追问作者“为什么”替他们付钱。]
52．A [考查上下文暗示。根据本句后半句中的“...I tried to cover my feelings.”可知作者当时有一点顾虑，不愿向老板透露内心的想法。经过思想斗争后，最终还是作了解释。因此shy“迟疑的；提防的”符合题意。]
53．D [考查上下文暗示。通过观察，作者认为这对夫妇经济拮据，为了生活他们不得不努力拼搏。作者出于同情，伸出了援助之手。]
54．A [考查句子间的内在逻辑关系。作者心甘情愿地替他们埋单，“但是”作者不想让这对夫妇知道是谁替他们支付了饭费。]
55．C [考查逻辑推理。作者帮助这对夫妇完全发自肺腑，不追求任何回报，就算是送给他们的一件“礼物”。B项的意义过于模糊，不能很好地突出作者当时的慷慨及善意，因而不恰当。]
56．B [考查上下文暗示。这对夫妇前去结账时发现已经有人替他们支付了餐费，自然感到无比惊讶，不相信好运会降临到他们头上。]
57．D [考查逻辑推理。根据引号中的内容可知以前这样的事情在他们身上从未发生过，由此可推断此处表示的是否定含义，所以用nothing。]
58．C [考查逻辑推理。这对夫妇难以相信他们会有如此好运，这样的事情还是第一次，由此可推断他们从未“赢得”过任何东西或被给予过任何东西。故选C。其余三项既不符合语境，也不符合常识。]
59．D [考查上下文照应，此处like是介词，表示“像……一样”，与上文中的“like this has ever...”中的“like”照应。像这样的事情在这对夫妇身上从未发生过。A、B、C三项分别表示“除……之外(还)”；“为了”；“尽管”，都不符合语境。此外，引号中的开头部分也是提示。]
60．A [考查语篇理解。每当作者想起在饭店中替那对夫妇埋单的那件小事，嘴角就露出微笑。因此incident符合语境。]
My sister found a bird on the roadside.We named him Jack and kept(keep) him for about three years.He would greet us in a tree outside our bedroom，calling(called) “Hello” as we lay in bed in the(a) morning.He also passed “Hello” to the cats when they came into the room.We often played tricks on him(himself).We’d throw a coin as far as possible(possibly).Jack would fly away and bring it back for us ∧tothrow again.He would also catch the food thrown(throwing) to him from the other side of the room and sing happily.But for\ the most wonderful thing about Jack was(were) his musical ability.Leaving him at home all day，we would return at night to hear what(that) he’d picked up from the radio in the day.
