Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger 25 next to him. 26 place where unplanned short sleep 27 is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring (打鼾) so _ 28 that the professor has to ask another student to 29 the sleeper awake. A more embarrassing (尴尬) situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the 30 of the head pushes the arm off the 31 , and the movement carries the 32 of the body along. The student wakes up on the floor with no 33 of getting there. The worst time to fall asleep is when 34 . Police reports are full of 35 that occur when people fall into sleep and go 36 the road.

One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.‎ The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.‎ The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets”, “Love and Care”, and “Peace Walk”.‎ The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals.‎ ‎“The making of a mural enters people’s collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history.” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.‎ ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇社会文化类的记叙文。主要介绍了美国费城在MAP（壁画艺术项目）的帮助下，由一个满是丑陋涂鸦墙的城市转变为拥有许多美丽壁画的城市，并陈述了MLP的理念、如何运作以及取得的成果。‎ ‎41. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists B. MAP, a New Company in Philadelphia C. Jane, an Excellent Mural Artist D. Hope, One Wall at a Time ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】本题属于主旨大意题中的选择标题。本题需要理解全篇文章的整体内容和主旨，为其选择合适的题目。A选项将重点放在了由涂鸦艺术家向壁画艺术家的转变。B选项是用MAP这个组织作为题目。C选项是以MAP中的艺术家Jane作为题目。而文章主旨是介绍了美国费城在MAP（壁画艺术项目）的帮助下，由一个满是丑陋涂鸦墙的城市转变为拥有许多美丽壁画的城市，ABC选项都只提到了其中的一部分，用做题目的话以偏概全，无法囊括文章的主旨。而D选项，用浪漫主义的手法概括了文章的主旨，并且Hope也是MAP的理念所在。‎ ‎42. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?‎ A. Helping the young find jobs.‎ B. Protecting the neighborhood.‎ C. Fighting against graffiti.‎ D. Attracting more visitors.‎ ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的语义转化题。题目考查MAP的目的所在。文章中第二段第四行指出“The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network.”。这个项目新建之初是“费城反涂鸦组织”的一员，因此它的目的是反对涂鸦，和C选项意思相同——和涂鸦抗争。Anti的意思和Fighting against的意思均为“反抗，反对”。‎ ‎43. How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural?‎ A. By having discussions with people in the community.‎ B. By seeking advice from the city government.‎ C. By learning from the young graffiti writers.‎ D. By studying the history of the city.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节题。文章中第三段第二行指出“When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message”‎ ‎。可见当MAP决定壁画的主题时，要和当地的人进行讨论，因此选A。其中community是社区的意思，people in the community即当地的人。‎ ‎44. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?‎ A. Difficult. B. Dangerous. C. Experimental. D. Successful.‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】本题属于观点态度题中的推测作者的情感倾向题。本题考查作者对MAP工作成就的态度。全篇都在描述费城由涂鸦之城变成壁画之城的巨大转变，字里行间对MAP的工作大加肯定。比如在第二段的第一、二行用美丽形容MAP提供的壁画艺术，并感谢MAP做的贡献。在第四段中阐述了MAP的工作量，侧面写出了对费城的巨大作用。因此MAP的工作是成功的。‎ ‎【体裁】记叙文 ‎【话题】社会文化类 B For those who study the development of intelligence (智力) in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.‎ Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying every little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.‎ Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.‎ ‎“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Dianna Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”‎ The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.‎ The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.‎ Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.‎ Diana Reiss said, “We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”‎ ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇科普知识类的记叙文。文章阐述了自我意识是区分动物聪明与否的标志，这可以通过能否在镜中辨认出自己来判断。科学家通过实验证实亚洲象可以辨认出自己身上的标记，是一种高智商的动物。‎ ‎45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?‎ A. Whether they have large brains.‎ B. Whether they have self-awareness.‎ C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.‎ D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节题。文章中第二段第一句提到“Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror”，意思是自我意识可以通过动物能否辨认出镜子中的自己来测试，因此题目问镜子测试能告诉我们什么时，应该选择B选项——是否有自我意识。‎ ‎46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?‎ A. They are most familiar to readers.‎ B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.‎ C. They are included in the study by Reiss.‎ D. They are already known to be intelligent.‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节题。文章在第二段第三行提到“Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.”只有人类和一些高级动物（比如猩猩和海豚）能够在镜子中认出自己。题目问为何作者要提到猩猩和海豚，是为了说明已知它们是非常聪明的动物，故选D选项。‎ ‎47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?‎ A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.‎ B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.‎ C. She painted a mark on her own face.‎ D. She found the hidden camera.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节题。文章中第七段指出“Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.”。三头象中，只有Happy通过了测试，正好对应了题目中的“different”，是Happy与其他两头象的不同之处。后半句又说，在Happy的半边脸上清楚的做了标记。Happy通过看镜子可以找到标记在哪里，她也可以通过镜子用自己的长鼻子触摸标记。因此总体说来就是Happy在镜子实验中可以辨识出自己，故选择B选项。‎ ‎【体裁】记叙文 ‎【话题】科普知识类 C Student Membership—Cambridge Arts Cinema Cambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival. Since 1947 generations of students have discovered the wealth of world cinema. Now you too can make most of it and save money.‎ ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇广告信息类的应用文。文章主要目的是为了宣传剑桥艺术剧院的学生会员制。广告中提供了有关于剧院特色、会员权利、办理方式、价格、期限、联系方式等信息。‎ ‎48. Which of the following is the most famous event held at Cambridge Arts Cinema?‎ A. The Cambridge Film Festival.‎ B. Meetings with filmmakers.‎ C. The preview screening.‎ D. Monthly premieres.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节题。文章中第一段第一句提到“Cambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally Cambridge Film Festival.”，意思是剑桥艺术剧院是英国的众多艺术剧院之一，它也是国际著名的剑桥电影节的故乡。由此可知，剑桥艺术剧院最有名的活动就是剑桥电影节，也就是A选项。用排除法亦可得到正确答案，B、C、D选项都在后面得剧院特色中出现。‎ ‎49. If you’re a member of Cambridge Arts Cinema, you will enjoy free ________.‎ A. Darkroom Gallery shows B. mailed programmes C. special film events D. film shows ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的语义转化题。文章在“What you get as a member”（会员权利）中提到“your own copy of each cinema programme mailed free of charge”，意思是：成为会员，你可以得到免费邮寄的剧院节目单，故可以免费得到的是邮寄的节目单，选B选项。‎ ‎50. How long will the membership for Cambridge Arts Cinema last?‎ A. Four months. B. Eight months. C. Nine months. D. One year.‎ ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的数字计算题。文章中关于缴费和期限的部分指出“your card can be used from 1st October 2011 to 30th June ‎2012”‎，由此可以计算会员的期限是从2011年的‎10月1日到2012年的‎6月30日，总共是9个月，故选C选项。‎ ‎51. For what purpose is the text written?‎ A. Offering students cheaper tickets. ‎ B. Announcing the opening of a premiere.‎ C. Telling the public of the cinema’s address.‎ D. Increasing the cinema’s membership.‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】本题属于观点态度题中的推测作者的写作意图和观点类题。文章的题目就是剑桥艺术剧院的学生会员制，在文中也写到成为会员的好处，如何办理等等，作为一则广告，目的就在于吸引更多的人来办理会员，故选D选项。‎ ‎【体裁】应用文 ‎【话题】广告信息类 D The way we do things round here Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.‎ So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I ‎ don’t just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化). ‎ Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.‎ Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.‎ ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇社会文化类的记叙文。作者通过自身在美国银行工作时误解单词意思的经历，引出整篇文章的主题，即各国文化差异的不同。又举了准时的例子，告诉我们最好的办法就是学习当地的文化并且适应。‎ ‎52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought ________. ‎ A. the American bank didn’t think much of him B. the American bank might hire another person C. it’s difficult to get used to American culture D. it’s easy to misunderstand Americans ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节类。文章中第一段讲到作者在数年前被美国银行雇佣，收到人事部经理的来信时误解了“quite”的意思。他按照英式的理解以为银行对他不是十分的满意，而其实在美式英语中，“quite”是非常的意思，是作者理解错了。因此，文中作者不太高兴的原因是他认为银行不太重视他，因此选择A选项。‎ ‎53. The word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.‎ A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】本题属于词义猜测类中的利用构词法来猜测词义题。“highlight”由“high”和“light”构成，意思组合起来为高光，一束高光照射在某处，可以猜出词义是强调、突出、着重、引起注意的意思，因此选择D选项。整句话的意思是：在不同的文化中，要着重注意人们做事情的方式有何不同。‎ ‎54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?‎ A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them.‎ C. Do things in our own way. D. Do in-depth research.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节类题。题目考查面对不同文化我们该如何处理。文章中多次提到，例如第三段的第二行提到“Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them”，我们必须习惯这些不同并且接受他它们。故选B选项。‎ ‎55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are ________.‎ A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the British.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】本题属于细节理解题中的事实细节题。文章最后一段第三行中提到：“If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock, your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany.”意思是：如果你邀请了朋友七点来聚会，在德国客人会认为准时来是最有礼貌的。后面又列举了在其他国家的情况。故选B选项。‎ ‎【体裁】记叙文 ‎【话题】社会文化类 E ‎“I didn’t hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready?” is what she heard. Then she said, “I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again.”‎ It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana—she was still on cloud nine. ‎ ‎“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance ‎ teacher.‎ Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “She’s always been my role model. I’ve danced with her since I was six. She’s been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I’ve learned to get over bad life’s experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”‎ One of those bad life’s experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother.

In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.‎ When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don’t let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself.”‎ ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇人物故事类的记叙文，讲述的是Shelley Hennig获得美国小姐的故事。文章讲述了她刚刚获奖时的兴奋，她的舞蹈老师以及她哥哥的死对她的影响和她给青少年的建议。‎ ‎56.
