Research revealed one in five parents has ditched old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and execution. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing. The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six episodes(片段) based on traditional fairytales. The poll found a quarter of parents polled wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they prompt too many awkward questions from their offspring(后代子孙). Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.” “As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could take things too seriously. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story.” The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares. However, half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books. 56. Why don’t some parents want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids? A. Rumplestiltskin is too long. B. Rumplestiltskin is too difficult. C. Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing. D. Rumplestiltskin may influence Children badly. 57. We can learn from paragraph 3 that Grimm is ___________. A. a fairytales book B. a movie for children C. a play loved by children D. a drama based on traditional fairytales 58. The underlined word “soothe “in paragraph4 can be replaced by___________. A. put down B. calm down C. take down D. come down 59. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales? A. Optimistic B. Not mentioned C. Casual D. Disapproving 解析： 56.细节理解题。根据“And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and execution.”父母们不愿给孩子念童话故 事《纺线姑娘》，因为故事的主题是绑架和处决。这些都会极坏地影响孩子。故选 D。 57.细节理解题。根据“The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six episodes(片段) based on traditional fairytales.”可知 Grimm 是以传统童话故事为基础的戏剧，故选 D。 58.词义猜测题。因为是睡前故事，所以应该让孩子平静下来。A. put down 镇压，记下； B. calm down 平静下来；C. take down 记下，拿下，拆卸；D. come down 下来，落下。故选 B。 59.推理判断题。本文只是客观阐述了这项调查的结果，介绍了父母对于童话的看法，并没 有提及自己对传统童话的态度。故选 B。 答案：56.

B 61. C 62. A 63. D C Today is National Bike-to-Work Day. And on New York City’s jammed streets, people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes. But New York’s widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars. When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal(用踏板踩) his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane. Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it’s possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around. This is what 21st century New York City looks like. Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic. Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way. Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own. Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a full street and you’re shrinking it. Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate. Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think, more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals. 64. What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21st century New York City looks like.”? A. There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 st century New York City. B. Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York. C. Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 st century New York City. D. It’s possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York. 65. According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bike lanes? A. Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars. B.

C 65. C 66. B 67. C D “Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance(事实) behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually. First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal(丑闻) showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm. Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close. To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself ——the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success. 68. The downfall of the Arthour Andersen accounting firm is due to ___________. A. its dishonesty in business B. its previous images C. its bad management D. its poor service 69. Why did some famous people fall from grace? A. Their images were not well built up. B. They failed to live up to their images. C. They felt much pressure from the public. D. They paid little attention to fame and fortune. 70. The structure of the passage is ___________. A: Argument P: Point C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. 71. The author tries to argue that ___________. A. image creates everything B. image is the key to success. C. truth is unlikely ever to be equaled D. truth and image are equally important 解析： 68.细节理解题。根据“But the recent scandal(丑闻) showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices.

A 69. B 70. A 71. D E Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two. Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. The center studies human-computer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of “garbage in garbage out”. Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.” Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you’re doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.” Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills. “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given. Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understa nding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together. 72. What is the best title for this passage? A. Is GPS system reliable to use? B. What is the use of GPS? C. How to make the most of GPS? D. Blame! GPS or Passengers? 73. What is the implication of the underlined part? A. GPS is just a garbage device. B. GPS will not correct human errors. C. GPS adjusts your wrong destination. D. GPS is just as smart as human beings. 74. Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage? A. Small screen. B. Timing of commands. C. Outdated maps. D. Dear cameras GPS uses. 75. According to the passage, people commonly believe that ___________. A. you have to know where to go when using GPS B. you need to have new competencies to use GPS well C. GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction D. GPS is fit for people having good understanding of maps 解析： 72.标题归纳题。根据“But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. ”及后面对于全球定位系统经常出现的问题的讲述，总结出选 A。 73.词义猜测题。根据“And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in.”可知驾驶人输错了地址，而 GPS 没有纠正这个错误，所以又把他们 带回了原地。故选 B。 74.细节理解题。根据“One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen……” 和“These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.”可知 GPS 的缺点包括屏幕小，过时的 地图和指令发出时间的不准确。不此题选 D。 75.细节理解题。根据第六段“Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational(导航) skills.”可知人们普遍认为 GPS 适合 没有方向感的驾驶者。故选 C。 答案：72.

Smoke from factories and gases from vehicles are the main reasons for air pollution. Rivers are polluted when people throw waste into them, or when factories pour waste water into them. Modern lifestyle and modern ways of production also cause noise pollution. As a result, many species are dying out. More and more people are suffering from health problems. Enough attention should be paid to this problem and measures should be taken. Firstly, we should make laws to prevent factories from pouring waste water into rivers and sending smoke into the air without being dealt with. Secondly, we should raise people’s awareness of the serious problem and call on more people to protect the environment. Only by working together can we help the environment!
