15．Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket，I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going．
The lottery money is supposed to go to charity，but it makes me angry to see some of the so-called"good causes"that it's being used to support．Also，Camelot，the organizers，have made a profit of￡10.8million in five months．We hear that a lot of that money is boosting（increasing） the pay packets of the company's bosses．
For the past 10years I've been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus．My husband，Sandy，died from cancer 11years ago when he was only 51．There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been destructive．I've also lost two sisters-in-law，my brother，Michael，my father-in-law and my father．That's apart from several close friends
The charity is 50years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research．It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers．Our local group raises￡3million and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets．But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced．
I'm not against people playing the National Lottery，but they should think about what they're doing．The chances of winning the cumulative amount of money are so small； they might as well throw their money away．The Government tells us that the proceeds （收益）are going to things like the arts and sports，but what about the National Health Service？They should give some cash to that，too．How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art like display of potatoes or buying up Winston Churchill's papers at a cost of￡12million？
So who really are the winners in the National Lottery？When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research，I could weep．It's time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery．It's disappointing and so frustrating．

66．The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is thatC．
A．she herself is suffering from cancer    
B．the cancer is the most frightening disease
C．a(chǎn) number of her relatives died of cancer
D．some cancer research needs more money that other research
67．In this text the writer is expressingA．
A．her personal opinions               
B．the opinions of the general sufferers
C．her feelings about cancer sufferers     
D．some ideas of fund-raising
68．The organization"Tenovus"isB．
A．run by a group of people in the writer's town
B．a(chǎn) charity organization which has some local groups
C．set up to collect money for people who lose their relatives
D．set up to assist the National Lottery
69．The writer seems to hope thatC．
A．people will spend more money on the National Lottery
B．people will give more money to charity
C．most of the lottery money will go to charity
D．most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research
70．What's the writer's attitude toward the National Lottery？B
A．The writer is enthusiastically supporting the National Lottery．
B．The writer has objections to the National Lottery．
C．The writer believes that the lottery money should be used for cancer research．
D．The writer is just expressing her feelings about collecting money for charity．

分析 彩票機(jī)構(gòu)雖然號稱是慈善團(tuán)體卻借此盈利豐厚．過去的十年里，我一直為一家叫做TENOVUS的癌癥慈善機(jī)構(gòu)籌資，如今它已成立50年了，但是自從彩票的出現(xiàn)，我們的癌癥慈善機(jī)構(gòu)除了一半來自我們自己的彩票收入外，其余的善款減少了整整一倍．我不是反對人們玩彩票，但他們至少應(yīng)該想想他們在做什么．

解答 66．C  根據(jù)第三段There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been destructive．可知，作者家中有好幾位親人死于癌癥，所以促使她為攻克癌癥而籌集資金，故答案為C
67．A  考查對全文的整體把握．文中作者一直都是以第一口吻的新方式來闡述個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，表露情緒的，如提到"Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going"，"I'm not against people playing the National Lottery，but they should think about what they're doing"，這些都不是在客觀的論證基金積累的問題．故選A．
68．B  釋義題．第四段第三句中提到"我們當(dāng)?shù)氐膱F(tuán)體組織"，即"Tenovous"的下屬機(jī)構(gòu)．D項(xiàng)文中未提到；B項(xiàng)與文意符合；A項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)明顯不對．故選B．
69．C  考查對作者意圖的理解．文章一直在說彩票的去處．A項(xiàng)說"人們在國家彩票上投入更多的錢"，明顯跟作者的意思相矛盾；B項(xiàng)扭解了作者的意思，作者是在惋惜彩票業(yè)的收入不能全用于慈善事業(yè)；D項(xiàng)不全面．故選C．
70．B  推理題．通看全文，很明顯作者的觀點(diǎn)是反對國家彩票的，所以A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的；B項(xiàng)是正確的；作者說"彩票收入本應(yīng)用于慈善事業(yè)"，并沒有說用于癌癥研究．所以C不正確；D項(xiàng)的表述不能概括作者對彩票業(yè)與慈善事業(yè)關(guān)系的看法．故選B．

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

5．Everybody hates rats But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends
What happens after an earthquake？We sent in rescue dogs．Why？Because they can smell  people．Dogs save lives  They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces  So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．
How does it work？First，the rat is trained to smell people When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal（信號）．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．
Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better Christian Linster at Cornell University，New York，says，"Robots'noses don't work well when there are other smells around  Rats are good at that"Rats can also see in the dark They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!
The"rat project"is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，"It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe"Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course ）．
21．In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they canB．
A．take the place of man's rescue jobs
B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D．get into small spaces
22．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person alive byC．
A．the noise made by the rat
B．the rat's unusual behaviour
C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back
D．the smell given off by the person
23．In doing rescue jobs，C．
A．rats smell better than dogs
B．dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C．robots'sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D．rats can seem the dark and smaller than robots
24．Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT thatA
A．they are more fantastic than other animals
B．they are fess expensive to train than dogs
C．they don't need electricity
D．they are small and can get into small places
25．After reading the passage we can know
A．a(chǎn)t present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleD
B．the"rat project"has been completed
C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues．

6．Sitting too much is now listed with smoking and junk food as a bad habit that increases your risk of heart disease．
New Australian research shows that half-an-hour in the gym will not make up for the waist-expanding damage caused by spending the rest of the day sitting．
But the good news is that doing chores（家務(wù)雜事）in the house or gently walking around the office while on the phone might be enough to keep you fit．
The study joins the growing body of evidence suggesting too much sitting might undo（消除）the benefits of exercise．
The study measured the intensity（強(qiáng)度）of physical activities in 168 subjects over seven days．It found that，regardless of how much exercise they did or their total sitting time，those who took more breaks from sitting had lower risk of thick waists and lower levels of blood lipids（脂肪）．
"Higher levels of blood lipids have been linked to a heightened risk of heart disease，"principal researcher Genevieve Healy of the University of Queensland said．"What the study shows is that there are benefits in just getting up regularly and interrupting your sitting time．"
Researchers behind the Stand Up Australia project have written to the Rudd Government requesting $3.5 million for a two-year study into the impact how long sitting offects health and productivity of workers．The study would also develop and test strategies for reducing sitting time on the job．
The latest study builds on work that is shifting the health promotion focus from purposeful exercise，such as running，to lower intensity activities throughout the day．
The Australian research has been backed up by US studies．
"To hold a body that weighs 77 kilograms upright takes a fair amount of energy from muscles，"said Professor Marc Hamilton from the University of Missouri．"There is a large amount of energy associated with standing every day that cannot easily be replaced by 30 to 60 minutes in the gym．"

60．The new Australian research shows thatA．
    A．having breaks from sitting is good for your health
    B．walking is the best physical activity after sitting too long
    C．sitting too long is the main reason for the thick waist
    D．exercising for 30 minutes in the gym is good after sitting too long
61．The health promotion focus used to be onD．
    A．long sitting                     B．running
    C．lower intensity activities       D．purposeful exercise
62．The purpose of the last paragraph is toC．
    A．report the new research findings of professor Marc Hamilton
    B．compare the effect of standing with exercising in the gym
    C．provide a scientific basis for the benefits of standing up
    D．figure out the amount of energy associated with daily standing
63．The best title for the text could beB．
    A．Exercise in the Gym Is out       B．Your Office Chair Is Killing you
    C．A Cause of Health Disease        D．Good News for Workers．

20．In the early part of the twentieth century，racism was widespread in the United States．Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment．Marian Anderson （1897-1993）was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism．She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood．When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917，she was turned down because she was black．Unable to attend music school，she began her career as a singer for church gatherings．In 1929，she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there．Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe．Then she returned to the US in 1935and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City．

There will be 10，000 digital books available for loan（借出）in the BiblioTech library in Bexar County，Texas．About 1.7 million county residents will be able to check out the books online without leaving their homes．The library will also provide 100 e-readers for people to borrow．In the library，people can work，study and access the Internet using dozens of computer stations．
"We wanted to find a cheap，effective way to bring reading and learning to the county and also focus on the change in the world of technology，"Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff，the man who started the project，told reporters．
Digital-only academic libraries already exist in the US．The University of Texas at San Antonio opened the first in 2010，and officials say it's been a success．Many public libraries even offer digital books in addition to paper copies．But Biblio Tech will be the country's first completely paperless public library system．Tucson，Arizona，and Newport Beach，California，attempted to open bookless public libraries in 2002 and 2011，respectively，but both ended up offering paper books after public outcry．
However，Residents of Tucson and Newport Beach lived close to libraries and could easily get to them．Many areas of Bexar County，on the other hand，lack public libraries，so residents don't have easy access to books．Wolff hopes Biblio Tech will solvethat problem．
Critics argue against digital-only libraries，saying many people prefer to see and hold actual books．Some say books with pictures，such as children's books and how-to books，work better than digital books．Others say people who aren't comfortable with technology won't be able to use the paperless libraries．They also point out that many digital books are not available for libraries to purchase for their collections．
But supporters of digital libraries say these institutions will make books available to more people，like the residents of Bexar County．Wolff himself，who collects print books，says he doesn't intend paperless libraries to replace traditional ones，but to exist alongside them．"People are always going to want books，"he says．"But the world is changing．"
