    Everyone knows that you can study the English language for years and still not understand a
    native speaker of English when you meet one. Everyone knows that native speakers say a lot of
    things that you can't find in any dictionary. Well, here's a secret for you: a lot of British people
    can't understand each other either!
    There are different local accents across the UK, and a number of areas have several different dialects, that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.
    Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. For example, a language and its accents often vary across class or level of education. Another example is how language can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are
    creating a "yoof culture".
    The word "yoof'”is an informal spelling of "youth". Some people don't consider "yoof' to be a positive term, since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than "youth". Other people see the term
    as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts and
    identity. When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the examining of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. Even though certain groups of society feel threatened
    by "yoof culture", new words come and go like fashions.
    Therefore, learners should not worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Even British people don't speak English properly! The UK no longer owns the English language.
      76. worries 77. understand/catch 78. appear/exist 79. vocabulary
    80. place/birthplace 81. education 82. differently 83. pronounce
    84. create 85. afraid

    （D）
    Read a whole book in English? Me?
    Yes, you. Believe it or not, that may be easier than you think. Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So you’re not limited to the simplified versions. And the easier books are not all for children.
    Books in their original versions may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment（成就）. The key is to find the right books. Let’s take a look at these.
    The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)
    Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures. The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.
    The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)
    Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish . . .
    Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.
    A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)
    Meg’s father, a U.S. government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.
    Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter（遇到） on their journey through time and space. Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too late?
    This novel is more than just a science fiction adventure. It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.
    The Pearl (John Steinbeck)
    One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. "No," says Kino. "I will have my chance. I am a man." But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.
    The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
    It’s winter, 1880—1881, on America’s northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.
    This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.
    63. In the passage, the author intends to _______.
    A. recommend a few simplified versions of classics

    第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    A
    Michael Phelps and his U.S. teammates crowned the greatest single Olympic performance Sunday morning with a win in the 4×100－meter medley relay(混合泳接力).
    The victory gave Phelps his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, the most golds ever won by an athlete at one Games. With gold No. 8, Phelps earned an unusual place in the Olympic record books.
    "There is no comparison in the swimming world for what Michael has done," said Gregg Troy, coach of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, who finished third to Phelps in two races here in Beijing but also won gold alongside him in the 4×200－meter freestyle relay. It's hard to find comparisons even in the sports world overall. Phelps is solidly in the company of seemingly undefeatable superstars such as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
    "I think years and years down the road we'll realize more and more how amazing he is and how special he really is." U. S. teammate Natalie Coughlin said. The 23－year－old from Baltimore capped a brilliant meet at the Water Cube. He set a world record in every event aside from the 100 butterfly which he narrowly won on Saturday, completing a program of 17 races in nine days.
    Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals and 16 total medals. He holds the record for most medals won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972－1980. Soviet female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with 18.
    At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he'll swim in the 2012 London Games. Phelps' victories in Beijing include: 200－meter freestyle, 200 and 400 individual medleys, 100 and 200 butterfly, 4×200 free relay, 4×100 medley relay, and 4×100 free relay.
    41．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A．Phelps Plans To Attend 2012 London Games
    B．Phelps Wins 4×100－meter Medley Relay
    C．Phelps Writes Games Gold History
    D．Phelps Finishes His Competitions
    42．Why are Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?
    A．To memorize the two heroes' contributions to the world.
    B．To indicate Phelps' great efforts to his championship.
    C．To attract the world's attention to the young Phelps.
    D．To emphasize Phelps' unique position in swimming.
    43．Which of the following is true of Phelps?
    A．Phelps has got the most gold medals in Beijing Olympic.
    B．Phelps has won 18 Olympic gold medals till now.
    C．Phelps won 8 gold medals at the Athens Games.
    D．Phelps defeated Nikolai Andrianov in Beijing.
    44．It can be inferred from the text that __________.
    A．Phelps is a swimming genius by nature
    B．Phelps succeeded in Athens at the age of 18
    C．Phelps has won the most golds all by himself
    D．Phelps will have a brilliant future in the 2012 London Games

    A man from Sri Lanka on Friday broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished with 69 hours and 48 minutes.
    Suresh Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby (门厅) of WABC-TV as part of the “Guinness World Record Breaker Week ” on the TV talk show “Live With Regis and Kelly”.
    After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until about 7 am Friday.
    Sitting on a brown leather couch, he watched nothing but ABC shows.
    “I’m going to be a little tired of watching TV after this,” Joachim told reporters by phone during a brief break.
    Rules of Guinness for the couch potato honor, allow for a five-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every eight hours. The viewer must be constantly looking at the screen.
    The hardest part, Joachim said on Live With Regis and Kelly, was “I couldn’t watch the people” — the many waving passers-by on the street outside the ABC studio.
    Joachim, who lives in Toronto but comes from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration (持续) balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children.
    64. Which paragraph shows the main idea of the passage?
    A. The first paragraph.                                B. The last paragraph.
    C. The second paragraph.                            D. The sixth paragraph.
    65. How long had Joachim spent when the new “couch potato” record was made?
    A. Half a week.                                   B. Less than two days.
    C. 76 hours, 40 minutes.                             D. Nearly three days.
    66. Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined word “constantly”?
    A. All the time.  B. At times.  C. Some time.   D. Once upon a time.
    67. What’s the biggest pity for Joachim when he did his TV viewing?
    A. That Joachim could eat nothing.
    B. That Joachim couldn’t watch the people outside.
    C. That Joachim felt very tired.   
    D. That Joachim didn’t have any time for a break.

    Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者), was so good at his profession that hs was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1838 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered(繁荣)by selling his small but genuine collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名).

To lessen the chance of detection (被发现). He sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale, Forgers have a hard time selling products. A forger cannot approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways of making their works look real. For example, they buy old books and use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals
    In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so Spring invented a respectable young lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts (手稿) belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. However, all this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.

    A. running a bookstore in Philadelphia              B. as owners of old books
    C. selling real signatures of famous Americans           D. as a forger

    Darby grew up in western Pennsylvania, US To help his family, he worked at a fast food restaurant as a teenager and as a mechanic after graduating from high school. He thought the Army might lead to a better life—even a college education. So, like many others, he ended up in Iraq.

    One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home. His name was Kyle. He was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd(书呆子).” So I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw some kids running at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I handed him his glasses. He said, “Thanks!” There Was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived, It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why! had never seen him before.

He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
