　　Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (機(jī)組資源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.

　　I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. They attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架)down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.

　　CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”.

　　1. What does the author say about doctors in general?

　　A. They like flying by themselves.

　　B. They are unwilling to take advice.

　　C. They pretend to be good pilots.

　　D. They are quick learners of CRM.

　　2. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________.

　　A. he saved the plane by speaking up

　　B. he was in charge of a flying task

　　C. his boss landed the plane too late

　　D. his boss operated on a patient

　　3. In the last paragraph “landing gear up”probably means ________.

　　A. following flying requirements

　　B. overreacting to different opinions

　　C. listening to what fellow doctors say

　　D. making a mistake that may cost lives

　　4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe

　　B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

　　C. The Making of a Good Pilot

　　D. A Pilot­Turned Doctor

　　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(狗仔隊(duì)) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報(bào)) 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 B. C.， 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 sold­out 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 film­stars 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.

　　1. It can be learned from the passagethat 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

　　2. 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. Well­known actors are usually targets of tabloids.

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

　　3. 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.

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

　　A. Sincere. B. Sceptical.

　　C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.

　　Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(繞行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

　　For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.

　　Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

　　But then Banner，our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices：leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.

　　That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour，let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

　　We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist­high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(見(jiàn)識(shí)).

　　We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.

　　I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

　　Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.

　　1. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?

　　A. It was less tiring.

　　B. It would be faster and safer.

　　C. Her kids would feel less confined.

　　D. She felt better with other drivers nearby.

　　2. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to________.

　　A. relax in the fresh air

　　B. take a deep breath

　　C. take care of the lamb

　　D. let the kids play with Banner

　　3. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?

　　A. Freeways are where beauty hides.

　　B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.

　　C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.

　　D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.

　　4. Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?

　　A. To give herself some time to read.

　　B. To order some food for them.

　　C. To play a game with them.

　　D. To let them cool down.

　　5. What could be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Charm of the Detour

　　B. The Road to Bravery

　　C. Creativity out of Necessity

　　D. Road Trip and Country Life

　　It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.

　　Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsessionwith it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.

　　Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.

　　Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather­speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather­speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather­speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank“fillers”. In other words, English weather­speak is a means of social bonding.

　　1. The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that________.

　　A. most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson

　　B. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation

　　C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago

　　D. English conversations usually start with the weather

　　2. What does the underlined word“obsession” most probably refer to?

　　A. A social trend.

　　B. An emotional state.

　　C. A historical concept.

　　D. An unknown phenomenon.

　　3. According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.

　　A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather

　　B. there is nothing special about the English weather

　　C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles

　　D. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty

　　4. What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?

　　A. To explain what English weather­speak is about.

　　B. To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.

　　C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.

　　D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

　　You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain­sensing umbrella.

　　The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (傘篷) built into a street lamp, ” he said.

　　The Lampbrella is a standard­looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built­in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (傳感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.

　　In addition to the rain sensor，there's also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

　　According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed (安裝) at 2 metres off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

　　While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

　　1. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

　　A. To predict a heavy rain.

　　B. To check the weather forecast.

　　C. To protect people from the rain.

　　D. To remind people to take an umbrella.

　　2. What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?

　　A. His creation was inspired by an experience.

　　B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.

　　C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.

　　D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

　　3. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?

　　A. motor→canopy→sensors

　　B. sensors→motor→canopy

　　C. motor→sensors→canopy

　　D. canopy→motor→sensors

　　4. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?

　　A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance.

　　C. Its installation. D. Its safety.

　　5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

　　A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.

　　B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.

　　C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

　　D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

　　No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.

　　Let's take a man we'll call Mr. Fielder，for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn't make the bricks for his house，cut his trees into boards, make the plows(犁), or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.

　　Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps，he thought，other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.

　　How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why，he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.

　　Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.

　　A medium，in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell，were used to get people's attention.

　　A crier，in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt，shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words，not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today's world.

　　1. What probably led to the start of advertising?

　　A. The discovery of iron.

　　B. The specialization of labor.

　　C. The appearance of new jobs.

　　D. The development of farming techniques.

　　2. To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright ________.

　　A. praised his plows in public

　　B. placed a sign outside the shop

　　C. hung an arrow pointing to the shop

　　D. showed his products to the customers

　　3. The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to ________.

　　A. explain the origin of advertising

　　B. predict the future of advertising

　　C. expose problems in advertising

　　D. provide suggestions for advertising

　　4. In ancient Egypt，a crier was probably someone who________.

　　A. owned a ship

　　B. had the loudest voice

　　C. ran a shop selling goods to farmers

　　D. functioned like today's TV or radio commercial

　　5. The last two paragraphs are mainly about________.

　　A. the history of advertising

　　B. the benefits of advertising

　　C. the early forms of advertising

　　D. the basic design of advertising

　　A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制) 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(實(shí)習(xí)) with world­famous 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 (論壇).

　　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 (問(wèn)題) 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.

　　1. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to________.

　　A. train staff for world­famous firms

　　C. the effect of unemployment

　　D. the shortage of money

　　3. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can________.

　　A. build up their confidence at school

　　B. find work experience opportunities

　　C. improve their social skills for the future

　　D. play an active role in the change of society

　　4. We can learn from the passagethat ________.

　　A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing

　　B. Kieran has made great progress in many aspects

　　C. the youth have found a way to solve their problems

　　D. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday

　　5. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　We've considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers (票販子), or purchasing line­cutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue(waiting your turn) with the morals of the market(paying a price for faster service).

　　Markets and queues-paying and waiting-are two different ways of allocating things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First come, first served，” have an egalitarian (平等主義的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets.

　　The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply because it's the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards.

　　Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank: “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue. It's as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.

　　But don't take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people's calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping.

　　Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other non­market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queue­jumping schemes we've considered-at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors' offices, and na tional parks-are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered.

　　1. According to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come, first served”?

　　A. Taking buses.

　　B. Buying houses.

　　C. Flying with an airline.

　　D. Visiting amusement parks.

　　2. The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates________.

　　A. the necessity of patience in queuing

　　B. the advantage of modern technology

　　C. the uncertainty of allocation principle

　　D. the fairness of telephonic services

　　3. The passageis meant to________.

　　A. justify paying for faster services

　　B. discuss the morals of allocating things

　　C. analyze the reason for standing in line

　　D. criticize the behavior of queue jumping

　　Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.

　　However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.

　　This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

　　When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.

　　Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

　　1. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.

　　A. the reasons for success

　　B. the meaning of success

　　C. the standards of success

　　D. the importance of success

　　2. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to________.

　　A. being good at something

　　B. setting a practical goal

　　C. putting in more time

　　D. succeeding in life

　　3. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because________.

　　A. work makes one feel pain

　　B. one tends to enjoy his work

　　C. one gives up his work easily

　　D. it takes a lot of time to succeed

　　4. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

　　A. Successful people like to show their great skills.

　　B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

　　C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

　　D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

　　5. What is the main theme of the passage?

　　A. Having a goal is vital to success.

　　B. Being good is different from being great.

　　C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.

　　D. Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.

　　Going green seems to be a fad (時(shí)尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

　　On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

　　With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

　　Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有機(jī)的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home­made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

　　Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

　　1.What might be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Going Green

　　B. Protecting the Planet

　　C. Keeping Open­Minded

　　D. Celebrating Our Green Year

　　2.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because ________.

　　A. they were expected to follow the green fad

　　B. they didn't know how to educate other people

　　C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy

　　D. they needed to perform unusual green tasks

　　3.What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

　　A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

　　B. They ignored others' ungreen behavior.

　　C. They chose better chemical cleaners.

　　D. They sold their home­made food.

　　4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　B. The couple may continue their project in the future.

　　C. Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.

　　D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

　　1.B'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的They don't listen because they already know it all.可知作者認(rèn)為醫(yī)生們總是認(rèn)為自己什么都知道所以就不聽(tīng)別人的意見(jiàn)，故選B項(xiàng)。作者沒(méi)有提及醫(yī)生們喜歡自己飛行，故排除A項(xiàng);也沒(méi)有信息說(shuō)他們假裝成優(yōu)秀飛行員，故排除C項(xiàng);文中也找不到作者說(shuō)醫(yī)生很快就學(xué)會(huì)CRM，故排除D項(xiàng)。

　　2.A'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后的I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now!”可知是我在緊要關(guān)頭勇敢說(shuō)出自己的建議而挽救了我倆的性命，故選A項(xiàng)。根據(jù)該段中的The attending doctor was flying...he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架)down.可知是我的老板駕駛飛機(jī)而不是我，故排除B項(xiàng);在我的提示下飛機(jī)安全著陸了，故排除C項(xiàng);事情發(fā)生在我倆開(kāi)飛機(jī)時(shí)而不是老板給病人做手術(shù)的時(shí)候，故排除D項(xiàng)。

　　3.D'推理判斷題。最后一段作者描述自己在給病人做手術(shù)的時(shí)候總是鼓勵(lì)別人發(fā)表意見(jiàn)，但有時(shí)候他們不愿意說(shuō)，我還是繼續(xù)鼓勵(lì)。這樣做是為了某一天有人會(huì)讓我避免犯下致命的錯(cuò)誤，就像當(dāng)初我提醒我的老板及時(shí)放下起落架一樣，故選D項(xiàng)。其他三項(xiàng)與該句中的keep me from搭配不符合文章要表達(dá)的意思。

　　4.B'主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中的but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon以及第二段用自己的一次親身經(jīng)歷來(lái)證明這一點(diǎn)和最后一段我在自己的工作中堅(jiān)持CRM工作法可知本文的主題是：飛行讓我變成了一個(gè)更好的醫(yī)生。A：CRM: 一種讓飛行更安全的新方法;C：一個(gè)好的飛行員的培養(yǎng);D：一個(gè)由飛行員轉(zhuǎn)變的醫(yī)生。這三項(xiàng)都與本文主題無(wú)關(guān)。

　　[長(zhǎng)難句]　It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.這就進(jìn)一步要求醫(yī)生們?cè)诼?tīng)到相反觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，不要反應(yīng)過(guò)激。這么做會(huì)使得同行們?cè)僖膊话l(fā)表他們的觀點(diǎn)了。

　　It further requires that...這進(jìn)一步要求……。which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。

　　[語(yǔ)篇解讀]'本文為議論文。作者主要對(duì)現(xiàn)在的名人沒(méi)有隱私的問(wèn)題發(fā)表了自己的看法。

　　1.B'推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二、三、四句“They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.”可知現(xiàn)在的明星沒(méi)有隱私，故選擇B項(xiàng)。

　　2.B'主旨大意題。此段通過(guò)列舉歷史上的名人所遇到的麻煩來(lái)證明名人所遇到的問(wèn)題由來(lái)已久，故選擇B項(xiàng)。

　　3.A'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段所描述內(nèi)容可知以Internet為代表的現(xiàn)代媒介令名人們的處境更加不易，故此題選擇A項(xiàng)。

　　4.D'觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。通讀全文可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，作者對(duì)現(xiàn)代名人沒(méi)有批判、懷疑或是大加鼓勵(lì)，倒是同情他們沒(méi)有隱私、體諒他們難處的句子頻繁出現(xiàn)，故此題應(yīng)選擇D項(xiàng)sympathetic同情的。sincere真誠(chéng)的，sceptical懷疑的，disapproving不贊同的。

　　[長(zhǎng)難句]　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.盡管成名或許聽(tīng)起來(lái)就像夢(mèng)想實(shí)現(xiàn)了一樣，可如今的明星感覺(jué)就像動(dòng)物園的動(dòng)物，承受著少有人能夠想象的壓力。

　　本句是復(fù)合句，although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句;feeling like zoo animals 是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)，主句為today's stars face pressures that few of us can imagine。

　　1.B'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段最后一句提到作者堅(jiān)持走高速公路，到達(dá)的時(shí)候會(huì)比較累。A項(xiàng)與此相反，故排除。C和D項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)有涉及。

　　2.C'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第五段中的第二、三句得知：作者出于需要要走鄉(xiāng)間小路。他們不得不每小時(shí)停下讓Banner伸伸腿并且喂它。故選C項(xiàng)(停車去照顧小羊羔)。

　　3.B'推理判斷題。作者通過(guò)看到的自然現(xiàn)象得出感慨：走這樣的路要比走最好的高速公路要好，這里才是真正的生活，并且增長(zhǎng)了見(jiàn)識(shí)。故選B項(xiàng)(接近自然可以增加生活的樂(lè)趣)。

　　4.D'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第八段中提到，在回去的路上，孩子們?cè)谲嚿蠣?zhēng)吵，所以作者就命令他們下車到前面等著，也就是要孩子們冷靜下來(lái)不要爭(zhēng)吵。故選D項(xiàng)。

　　5.A'主旨大意題。作者以詩(shī)人William Stafford對(duì)繞行道的理解引題，加上自己的親身經(jīng)歷，進(jìn)一步理解了繞行道更深刻的意義——它會(huì)讓你發(fā)現(xiàn)旅行中最好的部分，也發(fā)現(xiàn)最好的自己。故選A項(xiàng)——繞行道的魅力。

　　1.D'推理判斷題。第一段作者首先提出英國(guó)人見(jiàn)面談?wù)撎鞖膺@一現(xiàn)象，接著就給出了Dr.Johnson的評(píng)論，由此可判斷引用Dr.Johnson評(píng)論的目的是說(shuō)明這一現(xiàn)象的普遍，故選D項(xiàng)。

　　2.B'詞義猜測(cè)題。第二段提到Bill Bryson認(rèn)為由于英國(guó)的天氣一點(diǎn)也不讓人興奮，所以人們見(jiàn)面就談天氣的這種癡迷令人費(fèi)解。可推斷obsession的意思可能是“癡迷”，是一種情感狀態(tài)，故選B。A：社會(huì)趨勢(shì);B：情感狀態(tài);C：歷史概念;D：未知現(xiàn)象。

　　3.D'推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.”可知人們見(jiàn)面談?wù)撎鞖獾呐d趣不在天氣本身，而在于天氣的不確定性，故選D。

　　4.A'主旨大意題。文章第一段首先引出英國(guó)人見(jiàn)面愛(ài)談天氣的現(xiàn)象，第二和第三段分別闡述了Bill Bryson和Jeremy Paxman對(duì)這一現(xiàn)象的兩種相反觀點(diǎn)，最后一段提出了自己的觀點(diǎn)：英國(guó)人見(jiàn)面談?wù)撎鞖馐巧缃坏囊环N手段，可判斷文章的寫(xiě)作目的是剖析英國(guó)人見(jiàn)面談天氣的原因。

　　[長(zhǎng)難句]　Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.然而，Jeremy Paxman 和Bryson持有相反的觀點(diǎn)。他認(rèn)為英國(guó)的天氣在本質(zhì)上是吸引人的。

　　[語(yǔ)篇解讀]'本文為說(shuō)明文，題材是科普知識(shí)與現(xiàn)代技術(shù)類。走在大街上突遇大雨而又沒(méi)有帶雨具該怎么辦?一位有心人在圣彼得堡街頭的一次經(jīng)歷讓他產(chǎn)生了一種發(fā)明的想法：燈桿傘篷。

　　1.C'細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的That's why he created Lampbrella...可知他設(shè)計(jì)這種雨傘的目的就是為了保護(hù)行人免受雨淋之苦，故選C項(xiàng)。

　　2.A'推理判斷題。第二段提到一次在圣彼得堡街頭路燈照耀下他看到很多人試圖避雨，于是就產(chǎn)生了設(shè)計(jì)這種雨傘的想法。由此推斷出他的發(fā)明創(chuàng)造來(lái)自于一次經(jīng)歷，故選A項(xiàng)。

　　5.C'推理判斷題。最后一句中說(shuō)他堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為自己設(shè)計(jì)的這種雨傘可以在任何行人多但沒(méi)有傘篷提供保護(hù)的街道上安裝，由此推斷出他認(rèn)為自己的設(shè)計(jì)非常實(shí)用，故選C項(xiàng)。

　　[長(zhǎng)難句]　While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 盡管現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有計(jì)劃將這種燈桿傘篷投入生產(chǎn)，但Belyaev說(shuō)他最近把他的發(fā)明介紹給了莫斯科的一個(gè)部門，并堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為他的發(fā)明能夠安裝在那些行人很多但沒(méi)有傘篷提供保護(hù)的街道上。

　　在此while引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，while=although盡管、雖然。主句的主語(yǔ)Belyaev有兩個(gè)并列謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞says和insists。其中where引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾先行詞street。

　　[語(yǔ)篇解讀]'本文為議論文，題材屬于社會(huì)生活類。本文論述了在人生中要成功，運(yùn)氣、天賦、家庭環(huán)境固然很重要，但一個(gè)人首先要樹(shù)立目標(biāo)，然后花大量的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐，堅(jiān)持努力為自己的目標(biāo)奮斗，才能取得真正的成功。
