    语篇解读　 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。生活中我们常常会遇到这样的情况，明明喝的是咖啡却非常在意装咖啡的杯子，殊不知咖啡杯只是一个器具，杯中的咖啡才应该是真正的旨趣所在。
    小题1:解析：　考查名词辨析。根据本句的“stress”及下文第二段末句中的“problems and stress”可知，此处应该是抱怨生活和工作中的压力。
    答案：　B
    小题2:解析：　   考查名词辨析。根据第一段内容可知，学生们来看望教过自己的大学教授，对于教授来说这些学生就是客人。
    答案：　C
    小题3:解析：　   考查动词辨析。因为前文提到要给学生们咖啡喝，那么教授去了厨房之后应该是又返回客厅。
    答案：　B
    小题4:解析：　考查名词辨析。从破折号的解释可看出，教授拿来许多不同的咖啡杯。如果选择A项则意为“一种杯子”，与下文的叙述相悖。a variety of cups意为“各种各样的”，符合语境，故选C。
    答案：　C
    小题5:解析：　考查动词辨析。help oneself to是固定搭配，意为“随便用(或吃)”。教授拿回不同的杯子和咖啡让学生自便，从而引出下文教授的评价与教导。
    答案：　C
    小题6:解析：　考查动词辨析。教授拿出许多不同的咖啡杯，这是教授引起学生注意的方式，所以教授说：“你们都注意到了”。因此答案选D，noticed意为“注意，关注”。
    答案：　D
    小题7:解析：　考查动词短语辨析。句意为：价钱贵，样子又好看的杯子你们都用上了，放在一旁的都是一些不好看的便宜货。taken up意为“占用”，符合句意，故选D。take  in意为“吸入”；take back意为“退回”；take out意为“切除，获得”。
    答案：　D
    小题8:解析：　考查形容词辨析。此空所填词应该与plain构成并列关系，所以选择A项，另外cheap与本句中的“expensive”也是相对的。
    答案：　A
    小题9:解析：　考查连词辨析。根据下文可知。“the best”和“problems and stress”形成对比，故此处应该选择表示转折意味的词语。while意为“虽然”，符合语意语境，故答案选B。
    答案：　B
    小题10:解析：　考查名词辨析。句意为：虽然你只想给自己选择最好，这是人之常情，但是这也正是你们的问题和压力的根源所在。根据句意可知，应选择B项，source意为“根源”。
    答案：　B
    小题11:解析：　   考查动词辨析。add to意为“增加”，即教授认为杯子本身不会增加咖啡的质量。故答案选D。increase一般表示具体数量上的增加；expand意为“扩大，增加，增强(尺码、数量或重要性)”；extend意为“使伸长，扩大，扩展”，均不符合题意，故排除。
    答案：　D
    小题12:解析：　考查介词短语辨析。in most cases意为“在大部分情况下”，与本句中的“in some cases”相呼应。
    答案：　B
    小题13:解析：　考查动词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指“我们所喝的咖啡”，what引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语，指代咖啡。
    答案：　A
    小题14:解析：　考查副词辨析。选择咖啡杯是有意识地选择。
    答案：　C
    小题15:解析：　考查动词辨析。自己已经选择了自认为是最好的杯子，选好之后还要打量别人的杯子。eye用作动词，意为“注视，审视，细看”，符合语境。suspect一般不用于进行时，意为“怀疑”；envy意为“嫉妒”；consider意为“考虑”，均不符合语境。
    答案：　D
    小题16:解析：　考查名词辨析。本段教授开始做总结，将故事加以升华，挖掘出其深刻的寓意。与工作，社会地位能够并列的只能是钱财。
    答案：　A
    小题17:解析：　考查动词辨析，与and后面的“contain”是同义词，并且能够接宾语life的只有D项，hold意为“容纳”。
    答案：　D
    小题18:解析：　   考查动词辨析。句意为：我们使用的杯子的类型不能限定也改变不了我们的生活质量。根据上下文可知，杯子并不能使杯中的咖啡发生任何改变，故C项符合语意语境。
    答案：　C
    小题19:解析：　考查动词辨析。句意为：有时候人们只关注盛咖啡的杯子，而没能品尝出咖啡的味道。言外之意是人们过于关注生活的外在表现形式，而忽略生活的真正内涵。fail to do sth.意为“不能做某事”，符合语境，
    答案：　D
    小题20:解析：　考查动词辨析。本句是全文的结束句，也是对全文的总结，即不要让杯子牵着你走，应该享受咖啡本身。drive此处表示“迫使，驱使”，符合语境，故选B。
    答案：　B

    Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard，they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help  the couple to maintain their health and emotional well­being­­and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.
    “Rest，relaxation，and  stress  reduction are very  important for people’s well­being and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities，such as exercise and meditation，but vacation is an important part of this as well，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing，so a rested，relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better，” said Withers.
    Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great，” said Francine Lederer，a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation，even if it is a 24­hour time­out.” The trips could be good for their health，good for their family and good for their businesses.
    The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010，and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list，with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued，but that’s not always good for the individual，the family or the employer.
    Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this，the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker，making it actually more difficult to shift into less­stressed states，” Mulhern said.
    小题1:How did the author introduce the topic of the text?
    A．By making comparisons.B．By giving an example.

    A．weaken reaction system
    B．cure serious diseases
    C．reduce the level of well­being
    D．decrease the risk of heart disease
    小题3:Expedia’s survey shows that Americans________.
    A．dislike family gatherings
    B．have the shortest vacation
    C．enjoy as many vacations as the French
    D．think much of spending long hours on the job
    小题4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．One should never wait to relax.
    B．Work and rest go against each other.
    C．Time and opportunity wait for no man.
    D．A relaxed mind determines everything.

    Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
    Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
    The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
    1. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated      .
    A. in spring              B. summer  C. in autumn             D. in winter
    2. The first to celebrate thanksgiving were      .
    A. some people from England   B. the American Indians
    C. Sarah Josepha Hale         D. Governor Bradford
    3. We can infer from the passage that New England must be      .
    A. in the U. S. A.  B. in Great Britain
    C. in Canada   D. on some island off the Atlantic
    4. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.
    B. Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.
    C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indian people’s thanks to God.
    D. There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadian way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
    5. The passage mainly tells us      .
    A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.
    B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebrated
    C. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holiday
    D. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and places

    Having finished her homework，Ma Li wants some music for relaxation(娱乐)．As usual，she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.Come to download music files.But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs'copyright bursts onto the screen.The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright.Lawsuits(诉讼)have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation(赔偿)for their losses.Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website.This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
    “Baidu's defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying.Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines，”said an official.
    Like many teens，Huang Ruoru，an 18­year­old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province，doesn't think that getting music from websites is wrong.She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends.When told about the lawsuit，she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others' work without paying.
    However，other teenagers have different ideas.Wang Yafei，a Senior 2 girl from Jinan，Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers.“If I download a song and really like it，I will buy the CD，”she said.“So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music，rather than pursuing(追赶，追击)file­sharers.”
    小题1:Which of the following best describes the passage?

    Some students get so nervous before a test; they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test­takers.
    Sian Beilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”
    Professor Beilock and another researcher，Gerardo Ramirez，have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam，highly anxious test­takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
    Sian Beilock: “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper，they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize it's not as bad as they might think it was before and，in essence(本质上)，it prevents these thoughts from popping up when they're actually taking a test.”
    The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
    The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.
    Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.
    Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.
    Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of  B＋，compared to a B－ for those who did not.
    Sian Beilock: “What we showed is that for students who are highly test­anxious，who'd done our writing intervention(排解)，all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.”
    But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．The result in the math test agrees with that in the biology test.
    B．In the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better.
    C．In the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse.
    D．Some college students are highly anxious test­takers while others are not in the tests.
    小题2:What may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety?
    A．Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.
    B．Test anxiety can improve students' performance to some degree.
    C．Students' attention and memory resources run out when worried.
    D．Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried.
    小题3:The result of the research suggests that ________.
    A．proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thing
    B．facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve more
    C．avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxation
    D．taking no action before difficulty may result in success
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．It is important for students to overcome test anxiety.
    B．Anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears.
    C．It is a common practice for students being worried before a test.
    D．Being worried before tests does harm to students' performance.

    IMAGINE that you are in school, giving a speech to your class.
    Now think what it feels like when stammering(口吃)makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.
    The King’s Speech, which won the best picture at
    the Academy Awards, highlights(突出) stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain’s King George Ⅵ, who became king after his brother Edward Ⅷ gave up the crown to marry an American woman.
    As a result of British actor Colin Firth’s performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a person’s self-confidence and cause him/her to escape from life.
    “The problem is unseen and unheard,” said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.
    “Stammering masks(遮盖) your ability,” he said, “It's a serious disability(残疾).”
    Most stammerers face bullying(欺负) in school, something that is “usually carried over into the workplace”.
    George Ⅵ’s stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. “Some simply don't like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public,” she said.
    Travis Treats from Saint Louis University’s department of communication sciences in the US, praised The King’s Speech. He said it shows that “how one’s speech does not mean what one is inside”.
    He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world.
    小题1: What is the point of the first two paragraphs?
    A．To tell readers about speech speaking.
    B．To show how harmful a stammer is.
    C．To draw the attention of readers to the problem of a stammer.
    D．To show how a stammer makes a person popular
    小题2: According to the article, King George Ⅵ _____.
    A．was a hero during World War Ⅱ
    B．took the place of his brother
    C．married a divorced American woman
    D．was a failure because of his stammer
    小题3: What is Norbert Lieckfeldt’s view of the challenge of a stammer?
    A．A stammer can destroy a person’s self-confidence.
    B．A stammer is a serious problem for many people but it is often ignored.
    C．People who stammer need to have their own voice.
    D．People who stammer do better in work than in school.

    When you’re returning to Australia, be careful that you don’t bring in pests and diseases. Some items you might bring back from overseas can be pests and diseases that Australia doesn’t have. When you return, declare(申报)all food, meat, fruits, plants, seeds, wooden souvenirs, animal or plant materials.
    Australia has strict quarantine(检疫)laws and tough on-the-spot fines. Every piece of luggage is now screened or X-rayed. If you fail to declare any quarantine items, or if you make a false declaration, you will get caught. In addition to on-the-spot fines, you could be accused and fined more than $60, 000 and you may risk 10 years in prison. All international mail is also screened.
    Some products may require treatment to make them safe. Items that are restricted because of the risk of pests and diseases will be seized and destroyed by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service(AQIS).
    In many cases, the goods you declare will be returned to you after inspection. However, any item that presents a quarantine risk will be withheld(扣留). You will be given a range of options for each item depending on the quarantine risk:
    Treating the item to make it safe;
    Holding the item until an import permit is presented*; ·
    Re-exporting the item；
    Destroying the item.
    Those treatments with the sign “*” are subject to fees.
