    5．My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45．He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life．
    Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter，some of his words have lived in my heart．Only part always times out．"Right now，you are pretending to be a time-killer．But I know that one hay，you will do something great that will set you among the very best．"Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself．"You will do something great．"He didn't know what that would be，and neither did I，but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself，I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask．"Is this what you were talking about，Dad？Should I keep going？"
    A long way from 12 now，I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress．Lately，though．I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next：to be proud of，and believe in，somebody else．It's time to start writing my own letters to my children．Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had．Our kids don't  hold back because they're afraid to fail．They're only afraid of failing us．They don't worry about being disappointed．Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment．
    Give your children permission to succeed．They're writing for you to believe in them．I always knew way parents loved me．But trust me．That belief will be more complete，that love will be more real，and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts；"Don't worry； you'll do something great．"Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back．

    68．We learn from the text that the authorA    
    A．lost his father when he was young
    B．Worked hard before he read his father's letter
    C．Asked his father's permission to believe in himself
    D．Knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do
    69．What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph？D
    A．Children need their parents'letters．
    B．Children are afraid to be disappointed．
    C．His children's fear of failure held them back．
    D．His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents．
    70．Which of the following is true of the author？C
    A．He got no access to success．
    B．He wrote back to his father at 12．
    C．He was sure his parents loved him．
    D．He once asked his father about the letter．
    71．The main purpose of the text is toD．
    A．describe children's thinking
    B．answer some questions children have
    C．stress the importance of communication
    D．advise parents to encourage their children．

    分析 作者12岁时收到父亲的写给他的信，让作者铭记在心的是父亲对他的鼓励，让他有了成功的信心．作者认为每个家长都应该多给予孩子鼓励和支持．

    解答 1．A    细节理解题．根据第一段的"My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45．（父亲知道自己不可能活到45岁）"可知，作者小时就失去了父亲．
    2．D    推理判断题．从本段的"Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail．They're only afraid of failing us．"可知，孩子们并不是因为害怕失败而退缩，而是因为他们害怕让我们失望．又根据"Their fear----as mine was until my father's letter----is of being a disappointment．"可知，作者直到读了父亲的信以后，他的这种"害怕"才结束．言外之意，父亲的信打消了作者担心让父母失望的想法．故选D．
    3．C   细节理解题．根据最后一段的"I always knew my parents loved me．"可知，作者相信父母是爱他的．故选C．
    4．D   推理判断题．通读全文尤其是最后一段，作者提到家长应该给孩子成功的机会，要相信孩子会成功的，给孩子信心，这才是父母对孩子的更完整的，更真实的爱．所以作者写这篇文章的目的是在建议父母给孩子以鼓励．故选D．

    点评 解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．

    8．Characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so"wrong"that when he'd finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．
    Of course it's not the characters'fault．The problem lies with the author．Take Stephen King，who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．"It is definitely harder，"King said．"When I wrote Carrie many years ago，I was one step away from physical labour．"
    This is also true for characters'ages，added King．"When you have small children，it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It's been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．"
    For other authors，such as Karen Fowler，there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks：boredom．"I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon，"she says．"She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you．"
    According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．"I think I struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath's is，without making that feature define him，"Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that"when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable"．
    "That is a fantastic thing to happen，"Mukherjee says，"I celebrate it．It is one of the great，lucky gifts given to a writer．"

    41．What can we infer about Steven King's book Carrie？C
    A．It was his most difficult book to write．
    B．It was the first successful novel King wrote．
    C．There were few children featured in the story．
    D．Some of its main characters were working class．
    42．Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon？D
    A．She disagreed with the character's attitudes．
    B．The age difference between the two was too large．
    C．She found the character very uninteresting．
    D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult．
    43．Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write charactersB．
    A．are a sign that the story is not realistic
    B．are often the most interesting
    C．should be praised by all authors
    D．need to be researched more thoroughly
    44．The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probablyA．
    A．famous and successful         
    B．unknown to the readers
    C．all from the same country      
    D．just starting their writing careers
    45．In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage？B
    A．Careers．
    B．Culture．
    C．Advice column．
    D．Lifestyle．

    13．What do you use as your online password？
    According to a new study （25）conducted （conduct） by Google in the UK，a pet's name is the most common choice---about 16percent of people use their pet's name as their passwords．
    The next （26）most popular （popular） kind of password is an important date such as a wedding anniversary or the date of birth of a family member．The name of a child，words related to favorite sports teams and even （27）the word"password"were among the most common passwords chosen by users，reported the Daily Mail．
    Eran Feigenbaum of Google has warned that passwords that are easy to guess （28）make （make） accounts unsafe．The truth is （29）that one in six people has tried to log into someone else's account by guessing a password，including that of a colleague or family member，the study found．
    Some of our other bad habits when using the Internet also make our accounts easy to steal．For example，almost 20percent of people have walked away from their computers without logging out of websites，thus （30）allowing （allow） those who use the computer after you to get into your accounts （31）without having to enter any passwords．
    "People often leave their information open to online security breaches （安全漏洞） without even realizing it，"Feigenbaum said．"Simple steps such as choosing more complicated passwords and always （32）logging （log） out of service can make a real difference to your security online．"

    10．Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly，flies like a fat chicken，eats green leaves，has the stomach of a cow and has claws （爪） on its wings when young．They build their homes about 4.6m above the river，an important feature （特征） for the safety of the young．It is called the hoatzin．
      In appearance，the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside．The head is small，with a large set of feathers on the top，bright red eyes，and blue skin．Its nearest relatives are the common birds，cuckoos．Its most striking feature，though，is only found in the young．
      Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip．Using these four claws，together with the beak （喙），they can climb about in the bushes，looking very much like primitive birds must have done．When the young hoatzins have learned to fly，they lose their claws．
      During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20to 30birds，but in April，when the rainy season begins，they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes．

    B．they have claws on the wings
    C．they eat a lot like a cow
    D．they live on river banks
    65．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text？A
    A．They had claws to help them climb．
    B．They could fly long distances．
    C．They had four wings like hoatzins．
    D．They had a head with long feathers on the top．
    66．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes？D
    A．To find more food．
    B．To protect themselves better．
    C．To keep themselves warm．
    D．To produce their young．

    14．The death of languages is not a new phenomenon．Languages usually have a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate．Only a few，including Egyptian，Chinese，Greek，Latin，have lasted more than 2，000 years．
    What is new，however，is the speed at which they are dying out．Europe's colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity，eliminating at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time．Over the last 300 years，Europe has lost a dozen，and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century．
    The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sidelining others．By making great efforts to establish an official language in education，the media and the civil service，national governments have deliberately tried to eliminate minority languages．
    This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientific progress，which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift，straightforward and practical．Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge．Monolingualism became an ideal．
    More recently，the internationalization of financial markets，the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to"small"languages．A language not on the Internet is a language that"no longer exists"in the modern world．It is out of the game．
    The serious effects of the death of languages are evident．First of all，it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language，our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness．We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of"the first language"．As each language dies，a chapter of human history closes．
    Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism．The destruction of the first will inevitably lead to the loss of the second．Imposing a language without any links to a people's culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius．A language is not only used for the main instrument of human communication．It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it，their imagination and their ways of using knowledge．To safeguard languages is an urgent matter．
     
    74．Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages？B
    A．Colonial conquests of Europe
    B．The boom of human population．
    C．Advances in science and industrialization
    D．The rise of nation-states．
    75．What does the underlined word"stifles"in Paragraph 7 probably mean？D
    A．boosts      B．fuels         C．imposes      D．kills
    76．The serious effects of the death of languages include all except thatB
    A．people would fail to understand how languages originated．
    B．language diversity would become an obstacle to globalization．
    C．monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism．
    D．human brains would become less creative linguistically．
    77．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage？C
    A．To explain the reasons why languages are dying out．
    B．To warn people of the negative aspects of globalization．
    C．To call people's attention to the urgency of language preservation．
    D．To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages．
