13．Several weeks ago I was at a bus station in California waiting in line to buy a ticket．As I stood there I saw a little boy （61）begging （beg） people for money so that he could buy his breakfast．Most of the travelers simply ignored the little boy or gave him a dirty look，（62）but/yet a well-dressed middle-aged man reacted differently．When（63）approached （approach） by the little boy，the gentleman looked at him and  （64）quietly （quiet） asked，"How much will you need？"I could't hear what the little boy said but watched as the gentleman pulled several notes from his wallet and calmly placed（65）them in the little boy's hands．
I don't know（66）whether the little boy actually used the money for his breakfast or for other（67）purposes （purpose）．What I do know is that I witnessed two different reactions（68）tothe same situation．I saw people who were either afraid or annoyed．And then I saw the gentleman who was not afraid and treated the homeless little boy as though he were a brother．I decided then and there that，even though we have to be（69）careful （care） in this world，I would rather I（70）behaved （behave） like the gentleman，choosing to trust what is beautiful．

分析 作者在加利福尼亞的一個公共汽車站排隊買票時，看到一個小男孩向路人討要買早飯的錢；大多數(shù)人都無視小男孩的存在或給他一個白眼，但是有一位穿著考究的中年男子從錢包里掏出幾張鈔票，然后放在了小男孩的手上；針對以上在同樣的情況下作出的兩種不同的反應(yīng)，作者認(rèn)為，無論這個小男孩是否真的是用這個錢去買他的早餐或是用作其他的用途，自己都愿意像那位紳士一樣，選擇信任美好的事物．

解答 答案：
61．begging   考查現(xiàn)在分詞    由于此處用在感官動詞saw之后，表示正在進(jìn)行的動作；意為：當(dāng)我站在那里時，我看見一個小男孩在向人們討錢；故填現(xiàn)在分詞begging
62．but/yet      考查連詞     根據(jù)空缺處前后的句意可判斷出，此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系；意為：雖然大多數(shù)的游客根本無視小男孩的存在或給他一個白眼，但是一位穿著考究的中年男子的反應(yīng)卻有所不同；故填but/yet     
63．a(chǎn)pproached   考查過去分詞   根據(jù)句意可知，此處的動詞approach與其邏輯主語the gentleman 構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系；意為：當(dāng)男孩靠近這位紳士的時候；故填過去分詞approached 
64．quietly    考查副詞     此處在句中修飾動詞asked，故用副詞quietly
65．them    考查人稱代詞的賓格形式    根據(jù)句意"這位紳士從錢包里掏出幾張鈔票，然后平靜地把它們放在小男孩的手上"可知，這里用在動詞placed之后作賓語，代指的是：several notes；故填人稱代詞的賓格形式them
66．whether    考查連詞   本句的句意：我不知道這個小男孩是否真的用這個錢去買他的早餐或用作其他的用途；空缺處是"是否"的意思；故用連詞whether
67．purposes    考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)     根據(jù)句意可知，此處表示其他的一些用途；由于purpose是可數(shù)名詞，故填purposes
68．to     考查固定短語    固定短語reaction to意為：對…的反應(yīng)；本句的意思是：我所知道的是，我目睹了對于同樣的情況作出的兩種不同的反應(yīng)；故填to
69．careful   考查形容詞    此處用在系動詞be之后，描述的是主語的狀況，故用形容詞careful
70．behaved    考查虛擬語氣    此處用在would rather 之后，需要使用虛擬語氣；意為：盡管我們在社會上要小心，但是我寧愿我表現(xiàn)得像那位紳士一樣，選擇信任美好的事物；根據(jù)"even though we have to be（69）（care） in this world"使用了一般現(xiàn)在時可知，后一句表達(dá)的應(yīng)是作者將來的愿望；故用一般過去時behaved

點評 本題主要考查了各種語法在短文中的具體運用．做本題時，需要在正確理解短文的前提下，逐句分析句意以及所考查到的語法現(xiàn)象；因此在平時的學(xué)習(xí)中，應(yīng)熟練掌握各種語法知識，其中包括詞法，句法，各種時態(tài)語態(tài)以及虛擬語氣等．

8．Cowboy or spaceman？A dilemma for a children's party，perhaps．But also a question for economists，argued Kenneth Boulding，a British economist，in an essay published in 1966．We have run our economies，he warned，like cowboys on the open grassland：taking and using the world's resources，confident that more lies over the horizon．But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship-a closed system，alone in space，carrying limited supplies．We need，said Boulding，an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits．In the half century since his essay，a new movement has responded to his challenge．"Ecological economists"，as they call themselves，want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions．What do they say-and will their ideas achieve lift-off？
To its advocators，ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics，but a mix of both．Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world．Our environment，they note，is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes．But it is ignored in conventional textbooks，where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms，households and the government as though nature did not exist．That is a mistake，say ecological economists．
There are two ways our economies can grow，ecological economists point out：through technological change，or through more intensive use of resources．Only the former，they say，is worth having．They are suspicious of GDP，a crude measure which does not take account of resource exhaustion，unpaid work，and countless other factors．In its place they advocate more holistic（全面的） approaches，such as the Genuine Progress Indicator （GPI），a composite index（復(fù)合指標(biāo)） that includes things like the cost of pollution，deforestation and car accidents．While GDP has kept growing，global GPI per person peaked in 1978：by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer，not richer．The solution，says Herman Daly，a former World Bank economist and eco-guru，is a"steady-state"economy，where the use of materials and energy is held constant．
Mainstream economists are unimpressed．The GPI，they point out，is a subjective measure．And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus，a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted，wrongly，that overpopulation would lead to famine．Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems．But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction．In 2009 a paper in Nature，a scientific journal，argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity（生物多樣性） and climate change．That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions，even if their answers turn out to be wrong．
 
73．Why does Boulding compare the way economy is run with cowboy and spaceship？D
A．To advocate the importance of space programs．
B．To applaud the appearance of ecological economists．
C．To arouse people's interest in cowboys'adventures on grassland．
D．To awaken people to the need of sustainable development of economy．
74．What does the underlined word"challenge"in paragraph 1 refer to？B
A．Sending a cowboy into space through a spaceship．
B．Establishing an economics taking environmental limits into account．
C．Revolutionizing the ecological economists'aims and assumptions．
D．Enabling ecological economists to make their ideas achieve lift-offs．
75．Ecological economists will disagree thatA．
A．economies are worth growing through intensive use of resources
B．economics should attach importance to the idea of environmental limits
C．ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics
D．the human economy is part of the natural world
76．According to the passage，which of the following about GPI is true？C
A．It keeps growing although the peak appeared in the year 1978．
B．Mainstream economists regard it as a holistic and objective approach．
C．Ecological economists believe it is a better indicator of economy than GDP．
D．It fails to take the factors such as deforestation and car accidents into consideration．
77．We can infer from the last paragraph that the mainstream economists'attitude toward ecological economics isA．
A．doubtful        B．sensitive          C．optimistic        D．over-concerned．

5．Researchers may have discovered a perfect material of dieting----low fat cake and cheese．
British researchers say they have created a protein （蛋白質(zhì)） that fat perfectly．
The proteins will enable food producers to remove much of the fat used in their products but without reducing product quality．
Funded by team from University of Edinburgh，the researchers have produced the modified （調(diào)整了的） proteins that easily break down and therefore work nearly the same as the fats do during food production．
"We've paved the way for the development of modified proteins that can be used to produce a wider ranger of appealing low-fat foods，"said Dr．Steve Euston，who led the research．
"The result could be important for health benefits，as well as a reduction in the burden on the National Health Service （NHS） caused by many weight-related health problems．"
Protein-for-fat substitution （替代品） is not a completely new idea，but to date it has been limited to products such as yogurts．
In cheeses and cakes it has proved less successful in ensuring the original taste and texture fundamental to consumer satisfaction，mainly because proteins could not mimic the behavior of fats closely enough．
By studying the proteins'chemical structure，the team has developed a detailed understanding of how proteins behave when they are heated or go through other food producing processes．
The proteins could encourage development of a wider choice of low-fat foods，helping consumers to eat more healthily and reducing weight-related health problems．
The team has achieved particularly promising results in using proteins to replace eggs，which is commonly used in bakery items．
Such substitution not only cuts fat content； because eggs can be subject to sharp changes in price，it could also cut the cost products and so encourage consumers to eat more healthily．

47．What can we learn from the passage？A
A．The NHS will benefit from this new finding．
B．the research team is funded by food producers．
C．Protein for fat substitution is a completely new idea．
D．Products of modified proteins have been put on sale．
48．The underlined word"mimic"meansD
A．reduces 
B．makes 
C．removes 
D．imitates
49．These new proteins work nearly the same as the fats do becauseB．
A．they will cut fat content easily 
B．they will break down easily
C．their products are cheaper and healthier 
D．they ensure the original taste and texture．
50．Which of the following is best title？A
A．A Special Protein 
B．How Proteins Work
C．Cut down the Food Cost 
D．A special Research Team．

12．For years，there has been a bias （偏見） against science among clinical psychologists （臨床心理學(xué)家）．In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science，psychologists led by Timothy B．Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to"provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness"and"give more weight to their personal experiences than to science．"As a result，patients have no guarantee that their"treatment will be informed by …science．"Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment．"The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment，"he told me，and"there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science．"
The"widening"reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying （確認(rèn)） the most effective treatments．Thanks to strict clinical trials，we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new，healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression，panic disorder and other problems，with multiple trials showing that these treatments-the tools of psychology-bring more lasting benefits than drugs．
You wouldn't know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist．Although many treatments are effective，relatively few psychologists learn or practice them．
Why in the world not？For one thing，says Baker，clinical psychologists are"very doubtful about the role of science"and"lack solid science training"．Also，one third of patients get better no matter what treatment （if any） they have，"and psychologists remember these successes，believing，wrongly，that they are the result of the treatment．"
When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science，clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study what works．A 2008study of 591psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues'experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient．If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine，warns Mischel，psychology will"discredit （損傷名譽）itself．"
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO　MORE THAN 12WORDS）

78．Clinical psychologists can't explain the effectiveness of their treatment mainly because they rely ontheir personal experience．
79．What has widened the gap between clinical practice and science？The great progress in psychological research
80．According to Baker，what are the reasons that prevent clinical psychologists from learning or practicing effective treatment？Their doubt about the role of science and inadequate science training
81．To avoid discrediting psychology，clinical psychologists need tosupport their treatment with science．

9．As the pace of life continues to increase，we are fast losing the art of relaxation．Once you are in the habit of rushing through life，being on the go from morning till night，it is hard to slow down．But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body．
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it．In fact，it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be．A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life．It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health．
The amount of stress a person can withstand （經(jīng)得起） depends very much on the individual．Some people are not afraid of stress，and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities．Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties．When exposed to stress，in whatever form，we react both chemically and physically．In fact we make a choice between"fight"or"flight"and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death．The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme，but however little the stress，it involves the same response．It is when such a reaction lasts long，through continued exposure to stress，that health becomes endangered．Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress．Since we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so even if we could），we need to find ways to deal with it．

31．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves becauseA．
A．they are becoming busier with their work
B．they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
C．they are traveling fast all the time
D．they do not know how to enjoy themselves
32．According to the writer，the most important character for a good manager is hisD．
A．having control over performance      
B．knowing the art of relaxation
C．high sense of responsibility          
D．not fearing stress
33．Which of the following statements is true？B
A．We can find some ways to avoid stress．
B．Different people can withstand different amounts of stress．
C．It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work．
D．Stress is always harmful to people．
34．In Paragraph 3，"such a reaction"refers back toC．
A．making a choice between‘flight'or‘fight'
B．responding to crises quickly
C．reaction to stress both chemically and physically
D．losing heart at the sight of difficulties
35．In the last sentence of the passage，"do so"refers toD．
A．expose ourselves to stress
B．find ways to deal with stress
C．established links between diseases and stress

10．Experts from nearly 200 countries have spent the past two weeks in Warsaw，Poland．More than 9，000 representatives gathered for a United Nations conference on climate change．Organizers called the meeting to work toward a treaty（條約）to fight rising temperatures on our planet．The treaty would be signed in 2015 and take effect after 2020．
    In the United States，the Environmental Protection Agency is leading government efforts to fight climate change．The agency just ended a series of public hearings across the country．The EPA was seeking comments as it considers tightening clean air rules for coal burning power plants．
    David Doniger is a climate policy expert．He says it is the duty of the EPA to control carbon as a pollutant．He wants the agency to establish new rules that would move the United States toward a cleaner energy environment．
"No one is coming up with standards that would knock out all those power plants．We're   talking about a shift from the dirtier ones to the cleaner ones，and from all those fossil fuel-powered ones towards renewable and even nuclear sources of energy．"
    He says the government is responsible for protecting clean air，not protecting old and dirty  power stations．He says，"That's the only way that we can continue to have the way of life we want without running into the wall on climate change impacts，which in turn will destroy the quality of life we have．"
    The EPA is now considering comments from the nationwide hearings．The agency plans to announce proposed rule changes in June．
60．The United Nations conference was held toA
A．gather opinions from the representatives     
B．make plans for nearly 200 countries
C．deal with the warming climate

62．The underlined phrase"knock out"in Paragraph 4 has the same meaning asC．
    A．blow up          B．shut down       C．break up          D．move away
63．Who is responsible for the protection of the clean air in David Doniger's opinion？C
A．The public
B．The EPA．
C．The government
D．The United Nations．
64．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the EPAA
