1．When you are little，it's not hard to believe you can change the world．I remember my enthusiasm when，at the age of 12，I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit．"I am only a child，"I told them．"Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers，what a wonderful place this would be．In school you teach us not to fight with others，to work things out，to respect others，to clean up our mess，not to hurt other creatures，to share，not to be greedy．Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do？You grown-ups say you love us，but I challenge you，please，to make your actions reflect your words．"
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation．Some of the delegates even cried．I thought that maybe I had reached some of them，that my speech might actually spur（激勵） action．Now，a decade from Rio，after I've sat through many more conferences，I'm not sure what has been accomplished．My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual's voice to reach them has been deeply shaken．
When I was little，the world was simple．But as a young adult，I'm learning that as we have to make choices-education，career，lifestyle-life gets more and more complicated．We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful．We are taught that economic growth is in progress，but aren't taught how to pursue a happy，healthy or sustainable（可持續(xù)的） way of living．And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12was ideal and innocent．
Today I'm no longer a child，but I'm worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in．I know change is possible，because I am changing，still figuring out what I think．I am still deciding how to live my life．The challenges are great，but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices，we will rise to the challenges，and we will become part of the positive tide of change．

66．The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12was toC．
A．end poverty and make school beautiful
B．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves
C．end poverty and solve the problems about environment
D．find a wonderful place and clean it up
67．What does the underlined word"ovation"in the second paragraph refer toD．
A．a(chǎn) long period of laughing  
B．a(chǎn) warm welcome
C．a(chǎn)n expression used for greeting   
D．a(chǎn) long period of clapping and applause
68．It becomes clear that the writer is possiblyB now．
A．in his teens  B．in his twenties  C．in his thirties  D．in his forties
69．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12is mature．
B．the writer's children will certainly live in an ideal environment．
C．the writer's confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice．
D．the writer's belief does not change when he grows up．

分析 作者12歲時在里約地球峰會上發(fā)言，希望大人們能做到在學(xué)校教育孩子時的要求，解決貧困問題，找出治理環(huán)境的方法，建立一個和平、美麗的世界，他的發(fā)言受到各國代表熱烈贊揚．十年后作者成為一個青年，雖然面對更為復(fù)雜、壓力巨大的現(xiàn)實，他的初衷并未改變，從我做起一起改變這個世界．

解答 66．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題：根據(jù)第一段中"Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environment answers，what a wonderful place this would be．"我卻知道如果所有花在戰(zhàn)爭上的錢是花在消除貧困和環(huán)境找到答案，這將是多么美妙的地方，此句是作者12歲時發(fā)言的中心思想，即結(jié)束貧困，找出治理環(huán)境問題的方法，建立美好世界．故選C．
67．D：推理判斷題：劃線部分句意是"我說了六分鐘，贏得了滿堂喝彩．"由此可知D項an expression used for greeting，長時間掌聲和歡呼聲符合語境．故選D．
68．B：推理判斷題：根據(jù)第一段I remember my enthusiasm when，at the age of 12，可知作者十年前12歲，那么現(xiàn)在他是22歲．故選B．
69．D：推理判斷題：根據(jù)最后一段中"because I am changing，still figuring out what I think"因為我正在改變，仍然清楚知道我在想什么，可知作者仍在堅持自己的信念，因此D項正確．故選D．

點評 本篇文章難點在推理判斷題上．推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提，以具體事實為依據(jù)進(jìn)行推理，做出判斷．這種推理方式比較直接，考生只要弄清事實，即可結(jié)合上下文推斷出合理的結(jié)論．

9．The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education，you could get left behind．Technology touches every part of our daily lives---even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers．If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop，where will that leave you？
Once upon a time，you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma，but those times are gone now．Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce，and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now．Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate as markets grow tighter and tighter．
Education is not only important on the job front，however．Recent studies show that continually learning will keep your brain more healthy．The more active you keep your brain now，the more active it will remain in the long run．It does make sense if you think about it：if you start jogging，your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise．The same could probably be said for your brain：make it work to learn something new，and it will continually seek out the stimulation（刺激）of new information to keep itself sharp．
Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem．If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated，you therefore deserve an old car or a small house and poor life．Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate．Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past．Was it because you just could not learn，or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time？You are an adult now，and will be more focused and goal driven．Never say no to education，never say no to yourself．
56．Why does the author mention"the fast food industry"in the first paragraph？（No more than l0 words）
To show technology touches all aspects of life．/To tell us technology touches every part of life．
57．How can you make your brain sharp according to this passage？（No more than 10 words）
By making it work to learn something new．/By making use of it to learn something new．
58．What does the underlined phrase"give the edge to"mean？（No more than 3 words）
Prefer．/Value．/Favor．/Like．/Pay attention to．/Focus on．
59．What should you do to stop feeling sorry and take charge of your fate？（No more than 20 words）
Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly then．
60．In your opinion，why is education very important？（No more than 15 words）
Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence．．

10．The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's great scientists，biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking，is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men．Surprisingly，they have rather more in common than we think．
Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds．They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families---not wealthy but comfortably off，with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service．Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University---and both succeeded，Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics．
Neither author has a very positive view of his early university life．Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work，"You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail．Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for．"He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student （本科生）．
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins．Like Hawking，he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures．But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful，"It was really only the tutorial system that educated me．"
For both men，scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962．Dawkins，who remained at Oxford，describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students，which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book，The Selfish Gene．This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinism evolution．
Hawking，on the other hand，moved to Cambridge University after graduation，where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicists since Albert Einstein．He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body，leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes．Although communication is slow---he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine---his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and origins of the universe．
Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker．Read together，they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research．
 
41．Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins'backgrounds？D
A．They were both from wealthy families．
B．They studied the same subject in university．
C．They graduated from the same secondary school．
D．They both came from families that valued good education．
42．Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student？B
A．He preferred doing his own research and experiments．
B．Students considered it inappropriate to study too much．
C．The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him．
D．He was more interested in making friends with his classmates．
43．According to Dawkins，what helped him develop his most important ideas？D
A．His hard work as an undergraduate．
B．The support he received from his family．
C．The excellent tutors at Oxford University．
D．The competition from other postgraduate students．
44．What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage？D
A．Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate．
B．Hawking is more respected by the scientific community．
C．They knew each other during their studies a t Oxford．
D．Hawing has experienced more physical difficulties．
45．What is the function of the last paragraph？B
A．To state which book the writer prefers．
B．To recommend the reviewed books to readers．
C．To summarize the achievements of the two scientists．
D．To suggest the order in which the books should be read．
