13．Since my retirement from teaching music in 2001，I have spent a good deal of time （25）painting （paint） as an artist．I actually began drawing in the summer of 1995when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover （26）from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just paintings （27）that brought back memories of him．In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes much influenced by Krenkel and St．John for five years．
For some strange reason，I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again，but （28）as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time，I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth，who quickly became my favorite artist．I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be （29）the closest （close） to how I thought good watercolors should look．So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting．However，watercolors remained my first choice，and I think I did my best work there，（30）displaying （display） my paintings at a number of art shows．
It is wonderful to have some time doing （31）what/something/everything I want to do．As Confucius once said，"At seventy I can follow my heart's desire．"

分析本文作者通过讲述自己作为音乐教师退休后练习画水彩画的经历，旨在说明能有时间做一些自己想做的事情真是太好了，正如像孔子所说的那样：七十而从心所欲，不逾矩．

解答答案：
25． painting     考查固定短语      固定短语spend…doing sth．意为：花费…做某事；这里指：像画家一样花费大量的时间画画；故填painting．
26．from     考查固定短语      固定短语recover from意为：从…中恢复；这里指：从失去父亲的痛苦中恢复过来；故填from．
27．that     考查强调句中的连接词     本句是强调句；意为：也许只有绘画才能勾起了对他的回忆；由于此处强调的是句中的主语paintings（指物）；故用连接词that．
28．as soon as      考查从属连词    本句的意思是：但是我最后一次一迈出学校的大门，就拿起了我的画笔，然后重新又发现了安德鲁•怀斯，他便迅速成为了我最喜欢的艺术家；此处的意思是：一…就…；故填as soon as．
29．the closest   考查副词的最高级     这里指的是：最接近我想象中的好水彩画应该具有的样子；故填the closest
30．displaying    考查现在分词    此处在句中作结果状语，由于动词display与其逻辑主语构成主谓关系，故填displaying
31．what/something/everything      考查宾语从句中的连接代词或不定代词      分析句意可知，此处用在动词的现在分词doing之后，引导宾语从句，由于该从句中缺少宾语，意为：…的（事情），所以应填what；也可以将"I want to do"看作是定语从句，用来修饰先行词something/everything，意为：有时间做一些/所有我想做的事情真是太好了；故答案为：what/something/everything

点评本题主要考查了各种语法在短文中的具体运用．做本题时，需要在正确理解短文的前提下，逐句分析句意以及所考查到的语法现象；因此在平时的学习中，应熟练掌握各种语法知识，其中包括词法，句法，各种时态语态以及虚拟语气等．

1．Below is a page adapted from About Wikipedia （维基百科） on how to take full advantage of Wikipedia．
Wikipedia is a web-based，free-content encyclopedia （百科全书） in many languages．
§Exploring Wikipedia
Many visitors come to Wikipedia to acquire knowledge，while others come to share knowledge．At this very instant，dozens of articles are being improved，and new articles are also being created．Over 3，500articles have been listed by the Wikipedia community as featured articles．Another 15，000 articles are listed as good articles．Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English．Its related projects include a dictionary，quotations，books，manuals，and scientific reference sources，and a news service．All of these are kept，updated，and managed by separate communities，and often include information and articles that can be hard to find through other common sources．
§Basic navigation in Wikipedia
Wikipedia articles are all linked，or cross-referenced．In every article，there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-depth information．Holding the mouse over a certain link will often show to where the link will lead．There are other links towards the ends of most articles，for other articles of interest，related websites and pages and so on．Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions，audio-book readings，quotations，the same article in other languages etc．
§Using Wikipedia as a research tool
Wiki articles are never considered complete and may be continually edited and improved．Over time，this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing agreement over a representation of information．Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start．Indeed，many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint； and，after a long process of discussion，debate，and argument，they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through agreement．Others may，for a while，become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time-months perhaps-to achieve better balanced coverage of their subject．
§Wikipedia vs．paper encyclopedias
Wikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias．Wikipedia has a very low"publishing"cost for adding or expanding entries and a low environmental impact in some respects，since it never needs to be printed．In addition，Wikipedia has wikilinks instead of in-line （内嵌） explanations and its articles provide not only summaries but also plenty of details．Additionally，the editorial cycle is short．A paper encyclopedia stays the same until the next edition，while editors can update Wikipedia at any instant，around the clock，to help ensure that articles keep up with the most recent events．

46．We know from the passage that WikipediaC．
A．provides very accurate information
B．offers links to most leading media
C．covers rich resources of knowledge
D．comes available in any language
47．The underlined word"they"in the passage probably refers to"B"．
A．users
B．articles
C．editors
D．subjects
48．The links in Wikipedia to other resources are mainly toB．
A．provide details of the same articles
B．help the users to be better informed
C．guarantee the quality of the service
D．offer basic guidance on web research
49．The passage is presented in a way ofC．
A．discussion
B．description
C．instruction
D．summary．

8．A．Different people express anger differently
B．Expressing and repressing（压抑）anger mean almost the same to a person
C．Anger can be very harmful to a person
D．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repessing it
E．How to deal with anger
F．Repessing angry can be more dangerous to a person
Have you ever made a foolish or harmful decision when angry？Have you ever said or done something in the heat of the moment that you wish you could take back？Or do you tend to keep your anger hidden，choosing to bury the feeling and hoping it just goes away？
61．C
People will be angry when they meet with unpleasant things．But doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer．
62．A
Anger is a normal emotion that we can release from time to time．Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger，scream and yell．But other people keep their anger inside．They can not or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．
63．F
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormone（荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc．Anger may cause you a cancer
64．B
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
65．E
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is，they say，"Do not express your anger while angry．Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"

18．A．What do you think of the competition between China and the US？
B．What do you think of the image of"tiger mom？"
C．How do your daughters take the criticism about you after your book was published？
D．You said you would not get her Christmas gifts or anything when your daughter refused to repeatedly practice the music．How did your husband respond？
E．What do you think makes a good mother？
F．What does your husband think of your method of bringing up kids？

61．E
Chua's answer：Well，actually I think there are many ways of being a good mother．In my book my focus is just a memory about my own family story，me trying to raise my own children in a kind of traditional Chinese way．I make mistakes and I make fun of myself．It's amazing the way the book has been received internationally，because．I didn't intend my book to be telling other people of view and I am a proud strict"tiger mom"．But I'm not trying to tell other people what are the best ways to teach or raise their children．
62．B
Chua's answer：Well，the title may sound a little frightening．Let me tell you why I chose the title．I was born in the year of the tiger．And"battle Hymn"in the United States comes from"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"．The book is really about finding some sort of balance：how can we find the balance between the eastern way of parenting and the western way of parenting．In mays the book as been misunderstood maybe because of the title．
63．A
Chua's answer：I didn't write this book to have any foreign policy implications．But it's been taken into the foreign policy realm．It is of course true that there is a connection between child-raising and the future of nations．We are raising，as parents，the next generation．So I think Henry is right．We tapped into this thing of insecurity，American's fear about the rising power of china．A friend of mine told me that if the book hasd been called The Battle Hymn of an Italian Mother or The Battle Hymn of a Mexican Mother，nobody would have cared．It's really"China"．you know．
64．F
Chua's answer：I don't think he opposes my idea of raising children．I'd like to think we have a combination，which is the right solution．You need a balance．From my perspective，what I give my kids is something that I thought was lacking in the US educational system．You know，they hate memorization，while in China you have too much of it．In the US，learning should be fun，a lot of games，．So I b rought hard work and disciplines．My husband and I think this is a great thing always teaching them to question the authority and to ask why．Don't accept everything just because somebody tells you．Figure it out yourself．I really think you need to combine both these qualities if you want creativity and dynamism．
65．C
Chua's answer：They both are stronger than I am．I am really proud of them．Their friends and communities supported them．At a time，I couldn't even look at the Internet because there are so many negative comments．And they would find the good ones and text them to me，saying"here's a good one mommy，hang in there．"This experience has actually brought my family together．Believe it or not，not just my kids，also my parents and my three younger sisters have supported me．

3．A student has produced a series of vivid photographs that reveal what the networks that keep us connected to the web look like．
The images，created by Luis Hernan from Newcastle University，show mystery of Wi-Fi sweeping and swirling（旋转）around in bright beams．They were produced as part of Hernan's Digital Ethereal project，which aims to bring the invisible world around us to life．Luis，who is studying for a PhD in Architecture and Interaction Design，said he is fascinated with the idea of being able to see the hidden wireless networks which surround us．He said，"I call the images‘specters （恐怖之物）'because wireless networks remind me of ghosts．They are there but you can't see them with the human eyes．""The fact that we are becoming increasingly reliant on something that we can't see inspires me．I want to find a way to show the wireless which is around us and also to show how it changes．"
Hernan created the photographs using a custom-made instrument designed to reveal them．It scans continuously for wireless networks，and transforms the signal strength to colour LEDs．The results are multi-coloured lines of light which spin and wrap in spaces，showing how they surround objects and people．
Hernan has also created an app which can be downloaded for free，and for Android devices called Kirlian，which allows people to see the strength of Wi-Fi around them．He said"I would love other people to get involved and to create their own images using the app．""I used it as an important part of an exhibition of my work，where we hung mobile phones from the ceiling and it showed how signal strength was varying as people moved around the room．"
28．The purpose of Hernan's Digital Ethereal project is toB．
A．produce a series of photos
B．visualize what cannot be seen
C．reveal the images of Wi-Fi
D．bring bright beams to life
29．Which of the description about Hernan's invention is WRONG？C
A．It scans for wireless signals and transforms them into color LEDs．
B．Colorful beams of light are shown to reveal invisible Wi-Fi．
C．Hernan's app Kirlian is just for Android's download system．
D．People can download an app to see the strength of Wi-Fi around them．
30．What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph mean？A
A．An app．B．An Android device．C．Wi-Fi．D．The ceiling．
31．Which of the following can best describe Hernan？A
A．Creative．B．Honest．C．Modest．D．Tolerant．
