11．

There are lots of misunderstandings（误解） about Americans，and not just to do with money．Here are some of the most common ones：
All Americans are （56）rich．
Like China，the US has big problems with poverty （贫穷）．According to a report in 2011，almost half of all Americans are now （57）either poor or low-income （低收入）．This is partly because the economic crisis （经济危机） makes many Americans lose （58）jobs．
All Americans like fast food．
Many Americans are confused when a Chinese friend （59）invites them to McDonald's or KFC．Chinese think that's the kind of food Americans will （60）enjoy．In fact，many Americans think this is junk food．They would rather （61）have a Chinese meal．In fact，there are lots of different kinds of restaurants in the US，including Chinese ones．Some Americans can （62）even use chopsticks!
All Americans own guns（枪）．
This year，a lot more Americans own guns than before．Most gun （63）owners live in certain parts of the US，like the South and Midwest，especially in rural areas．If you visit a city（64）like New York or San Francisco，don't worry about （65）getting shot； you're not likely to meet anyone who owns a gun there．

分析本文讲述了一些对美国人的误解，如美国人很富裕，所有的美国人喜欢快餐；所有的美国人拥有枪支．

解答 56．rich    考查形容词的辨析．根据上一句：There are lots of misunderstandings（误解） about Americans对美国人有很多误解，再根据下一段内容可知美国人不富裕，故填rich．
57．either     考查连的辨析．根据下半句or low-income 可知这是either…or句型，或者…或者，故填either．
58．jobs     考查名词的辨析．根据前半句部分原因是经济危机．可以推断出此处应该是：使许多美国人失去了工作．故填jobs．
59．invites    考查动词的辨析．根据空格后的them to McDonald's or KFC可知这是invite sb．to do sth．句型，邀请某人做某事，主语是第三人称单数，动词应该用第三人称单数形式．故填invites．
60．enjoy   考查动词的辨析．根据上一句：很多美国人当中国朋友邀请他们去快餐店是很困惑，可以推断出此处应该是：中国人认为美国人会喜欢这种食品．故填enjoy．
61．have    考查动词的辨析．根据上一句：许多美国人认为这是垃圾食品，可以推断出此处应该是：他们宁愿吃一顿中国饭．故填have．
62．even   考查副词的辨析．根据句意：一些美国人甚至可以用筷子！故填even．
63．owners   考查名词的辨析．空格后是动词，此处应该是主语，结合句意：大多数拥有枪支的人生活在美国的某些地区．故填owners．
64．like       考查动词的辨析．结合句意：如果你去像纽约或三藩的城市，故填like，介词，像…一样．
65．getting 考查动名词的辨析．空格前是介词about，此处应该是动名词，结合句意：不必担心被射杀．故填getting．

点评首先要通读全文，了解大意，紧紧抓住上下文所提供的信息，然后明确词义，词型，词的搭配，并按上下文需要作答，然后读全文，校对答案．

16．Frederic Mishkin，who's been a professor at Columbia Business School for almost 30years，is good at solving problems and expressing ideas．Whether he's standing in front of a lecture hall or engaged in a casual conversation，his hands are always waving and pointing．When he was in graduate school，one of his professors was so annoyed by this constant gesturing that he made the young economist sit on his hands whenever he visited the professor's office．
It turns out，however，that Mishkin's professor had it exactly wrong．Gesture doesn't prevent but promotes clear thought and speech．Research demonstrates that the movements we make with our hands when we talk form a kind of second language，adding information that's absent from our words．It's learning's secret code：Gesture reveals what we know．It reveals what we don't know．What's more，the agreement （or lack of agreement） between what our voices say and how our hands move offers a clue to our readiness to learn．
Many～f the studies establishing the importance of gesture to learning have been conducted by Susan Goldin-Meadow，a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago．"We change our minds by moving our hands，"writes Goldin-Meadow in a review of this work．Particularly significant are what she calls"mismatches"between oral expression and physical gestures．A student might say that a heavier ball falls faster than a light one，for example，but make a gesture indicating that they fall at the same rate，which is correct．Such differences indicate that we're moving from one level of understanding to another．The thoughts expressed by hand motions are often our newest and most advanced ideas about the problem we're working on； we can't yet absorb these concepts into language，but we can capture them in movement．
Goldin-Meadow's more recent work strews not only that gesture shows our readiness to
learn，but that it actually helps to bring learning about．It does so in two ways．First，it elicits （～） helpful behavior from others around us．Goldin-Meadow has found that adults respond to children's speech-gesture mismatches by adjusting their way of instruction．Parents and teachers apparently receive the signal that children are ready to learn，and they act on it by offering a greater variety of problem-solving techniques．The act of gesturing itself also seems to quicken learning，bringing new knowledge into consciousness and aiding the understanding of new concepts．A 2007study by Susan Wagner Cook，an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Iowa，reported that third-graders who were asked to gesture while learning algebra
were nearly three times more likely to remember what they'd learned than classmates who did not gesture．
72．According to Paragraph 1，Frederic Mishkin was asked to sit on his hands becauseC
A．he could litter express his ideas that way
B．he always pointed his finger at his professor
C．his professor did not like his gesturing
D．his gestures prevented his professor from thinking
73．How is gesturing important in acquiring knowledge？A
A．It draws tasteful responses from others and increases learning speed．
B．It promotes second language learning and quickens thinking．
C．It provides significant clues for solving academic problems．
D．It reduces students'reliance on teachers'instruction．
74．What can be inferred from the passage about gesture-speech mismatches？B
A～They can stimulate our creativity．
B．Instructors should make full use of them．
C．Teachers can hardly explain new concepts without them．
D．They serve as a stepping stone to solving real life problems．
75．What could be the best title of the passage？D
A．Hand Motions，a Second Language B．Gesturing：Signal of Understanding
C．New Uses of Gesturing D．The Secret Code of Learning．

1．Dear Sir/Madam，
I am writing to complain about the TV advertisement for your product Cheese in a Tube．In my opinion，there is some false information in it，and it also encourages children to have bad eating habits．
In the advertisement，there is a popular TV cartoon character who says that Cheese in a Tube is"the best cheese in the world"．This is，of course，not true．However I have two young children who love the cartoon character in the advertisement．Now they hope to eat the cheese every day．
They believe that your cheese is the best in the world and they don't want any other kind．
The cartoon character then says that Cheese in a Tube is"good for young kids"．Well，I checked the information on the packet．There certainly isn't very much cheese in your product-only 5%-and it has more fat and calories（热量） than chocolate!It's probably one of the unhealthiest things you can buy in the supermarket．Child obesity is a huge problem in our country．Our children are the fattest in the world，and products like yours just make things worse．
Finally，the advertisement ends with two beautiful，slim，healthy-looking children sitting in front of the TV．Their mother calls them to come to the kitchen to eat a vegetable salad．The children say they're watching their favourite cartoon-the same character who is in the advertisement，of course-so what does the mother do？She brings each of them some Cheese in a Tube!The parents eat their salad in the kitchen while the children enjoy the cheese in front of the TV!I believe that it's good for children and parents to eat together，but obviously （明显地） your company doesn't．
Please change this terrible advertisement．And why don't you start making healthier foods too？
Yours sincerely，
Maddy Moore
