W：Not really. It is quite disappointing.
(Text 6)
W：Why don’t we buy a car，dear?
M：I have been thinking about it for a long time. I think it necessary for us to buy one. We live so far away from my pany.
W：Yes. With a car，you wouldn’t have to catch a bus to work. It can save a lot of time.
M：Sure，but we don’t have enough money at present.
W：Why not borrow some from the bank? I think we won’t have to borrow so much now.
M：Well，let’s go downtown and have a look.

W：It’s true that I did have some wonderful memories. The Olympics were very exciting. But I missed some important things，too. While other girls were playing，I was swimming.

Good morning and wele to the BBC news special.
Have you ever heard of a four-year-old college student? But this is true of Nicholas MacMahon，who is now studying at college because he is too clever for school.
Nicholas spoke well before he was one. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak.
His parents knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak，he corrected his spelling. He tried two different schools，but he was bored and unhappy and his parents decided that he couldn’t stay there. His parents did not have enough time to prepare special lessons for Nicholas. The MacMahons had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London Institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there，and also studies at home. He reads newspaper every day，and he can play the violin well. He doesn’t have any social life in the school. Nicholas is a clever child and the teac hers want to help him in every way.

Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment－to draw a picture of something for which they were __31__.
Most of the class might be considered economically __32__，but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These，the teacher thought，would be the __33__ of most of her students’ art. And they were.
But Douglas made a different kind of __34__.Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery，weak and __35__.As other children played at break，Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the __36__ Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.
Yes，his picture was __37__.When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful，he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an __38__ hand.
His abstract image __39__ the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer，because farmers __40__ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer，because the police protect and __41__ people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God，for God feeds us. And so the __42__ went－until the teacher almost fot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other assignments，she __43__ at Douglas’desk，bent down，and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and __44__，“It’s yours，teacher.” She __45__ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there，__46__ she had the other students.

A
I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations (违反)．It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.
I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work，I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.
The truth is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not e to a plete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的)that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.
The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately，I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before，there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”，I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road，perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.
People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly，it never ourred to me. I felt guilty. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there，as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.
【解题导语】　作者因为开车不专心，在该停的时候没停，被开了第一次罚单。

A．The writer’s most unfettable experience.
B．How the writer got her first ticket.
C．An aident caused by the writer.

52．We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to ________.
A．people who are crazy about driving cars
B．a club for drivers without much experience
C．people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules
D．a club for people to talk about their driving stories
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据前文的get the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations可知the club在这里是指那些因违反交通规则被开了罚单的人。
53．What made the writer unable to focus on her driving?
A．Planning how to spend the vacation.
B．Thinking of the fotten vacation.
C．Thinking about her work.
D．Missing her children.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段的without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.可知作者想起那个被忘了的假期才分了神。
54．From the experience，the writer has probably learnt ________.
A．what is really important to her
B．how to deal with policemen
C．to enjoy the small things in life
D．to be much more careful

B
Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic(逻辑)behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand. Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”．
Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything，and create an explanation. For example，start with “I’ll learn chess，” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this bees a workable plan，and if you actually do this，you’ll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more suess.
Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem，why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re half-way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often，they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
55．What would be the best title for the text?
A．A Way on How to Write
B．Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing
C．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D．How to Start Your Writing
解析：选B。主旨大意题。本文主要是讲了通过写作，可以把你自己的一些想法理解得更加清晰，更加透彻，从而进一步提高你的大脑思维能力。选项B揭示了本文的主旨。
56．Aording to the text，writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT ________.
A．the increase of your brain power
B．the ability to remember
C．the development of your interest in study
D．the better understanding of a topic
解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第二段、第四段和第五段分别提到了选项A、B、D的内容，而对于选项C，文章则没有涉及。
57．The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in Paragraph 5 implies that ________.
A．you are already suessful
B．you still need to work hard
C．writing can help you walk half way
D．writing is important to solve problems
解析：选D。推理判断题。文章第五段主要是说写作能够帮助你去理解一个话题，帮助你解决一些问题，如果写出对于问题的解释，那么就等于解决了问题的一半，这足以说明写作的重要性。解决问题的一半并不是说你就成功了，所以选项A不对；而选项B、C的理解出现偏差，故排除。
58．What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text?
A．To advise readers to start their writing.
B．To explain the importance of writing.
C．To persuade readers to bee writers.
D．To increase readers’ brain power.
解析：选A。主旨大意题。本篇文章叙述了写作的优点，说明了其重要性，但是，所有这些都是为了劝说读者进行写作而进行铺垫，特别是文章的最后一段的最后一句，更是点明了本篇文章的真实目的。
C
It looks like a scene from the thriller movie Jaws，but these photos of a huge shark swimming with swimmers were in fact taken in Britain. The amazing pictures，which showed that the basking shark (姥鲨) was swimming friendly with swimmers，were taken at Porthcurno beach，Cornwall，where the basking shark was swimming just yards off shore.
The single 14⊥foot giant was feeding in the shallow waters off the scenic area，and quickly became curious about the swimmers and surfers sharing the water. Though it came within touching distance，the swimmers and surfers were in no danger. The large sharks are plankton (浮游生物) feeders－unlike the man－eating Great White from Jaws.
Beach-goer Rachel Hosken，who took the pictures，said that several basking sharks had been seen in the area.“It is one of the few I have ever seen around this year and it was great to see，” she said excitedly.“There are usually more of them by now，but for some reason there are fewer around than normal at this time of year. I think more have been spotted in deeper waters，but the particular one in the pictures seems to have taken a liking to this spot. I have seen it a few times.”
Known as the gentle giant of the sea，the basking shark is the second largest fish in the sea，only weighing lighter than the whale shark. They can grow to over 36 feet (11 meters) and weigh up to seven tons (7,000 kilograms) and feed on a diet of plankton and small fish. Basking sharks normally begin to appear in May and June.
【解题导语】　在英国康沃尔的波斯科诺海滩，一群冲浪爱好者遭遇一头身长14英尺的姥鲨。姥鲨看上去很危险，实际上不构成任何威胁，它们主要以浮游生物为食。
59．In the pictures taken by Rachel Hosken，we can infer that ________.
A．swimmers and surfers were escaping
B．surfers were trying to frighten the basking shark
C．the basking shark was swimming far from swimmers
D．swimmers were not frightened by the basking shark
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第一段的which showed that the basking shark was swimming friendly with swimmers可推断游泳者并不害怕这条姥鲨。
60．Why didn’t the basking shark attack the swimmers or surfers?
A．Because it was not hungry.
B．Because it was too far from them.
C．Because it isn’t a man-eating shark.
D．Because it enjoyed swimming with them.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的The large sharks are plankton feeders－unlike the man-eating Great White from Jaws.可知姥鲨不攻击人类是因为他们以浮游生物为食，不吃人类。
61．From what Rachel Hosken said we know that ________.
A．most basking sharks swim deep in the sea
B．this basking shark has often appeared in that area
C．many basking sharks have been killed in that area
D．the basking shark doesn’t like being with other basking sharks
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段的but the particular one in the pictures seems to have taken a liking to this spot. I have seen it a few times.可知那条姥鲨经常在那一带出没。
62．What’s the best title for this passage?
A．A giant basking shark appeared in Cornwall，Britain.
B．A giant basking shark tried to please the British people.
C．Swimmers and surfers were frightened by a giant basking shark.
D．Brave swimmers swam together with a giant basking shark.
解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文主要是讲一条姥鲨在海湾跟游泳者一起游泳嬉戏，故选D。
D
For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life. This 6,825 km waterway，whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers，flows through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great－but so are its challenges.
Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well. Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency.
Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water-borne diseases remain unchecked. In areas where it’s hot and damp，hyacinths grow so fast that they choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud. They’re very poor and have few choices.
But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative(NBI)，is offering very practical assistance. The program is more than just a water-management project. It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions (解决办法)．Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations; yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overe these challenges.
63．What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces?
A．The development of shipping industry and over-fishing of native people.
B．Overfishing of native people and increasing population.
C．Water shortage and water quality.
D．Increasing population and tourism.
解析：选C。根据文章第二、三段内容可知正确答案为C项。
64．The underlined word “hyacinths” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.
A．plants B．fish
C．rocks D．salts
解析：选A。根据划线词所在句子可以推测出hyacinths最有可能是一种水生植物，因此正确答案为A项。
65．The program NBI is mainly aimed at ________.
A．preventing water pollution
B．changing the river course
C．improving living conditions of the poor
D．preventing land from being desert
解析：选C。根据第五段最后一句可知正确答案为C项。
66．What would be the best title of this passage?
A．People’s life in Egypt and Sudan
B．Frequent drought in Egypt and Sudan
C．The poorest countries in the Nile Basin
D．The ecosystem problems in the Nile Basin
解析：选D。通读全文内容尤其是最后一段第一句可知最佳标题为D项。

Oscars anizers promised a new progress to this month’s Academy Awards to greet this year’s nominees (被提名人)．
After years of falling view that ended in last year’s 80th Oscars recording low view rate，the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has to make a fresh start for Hollywood’s yearly show.
The co­producers of the February 22 show，Bill Condon and Laurence Mark，have so far kept full details of their planned changes to the Oscars’ tried­and­tested method secret.
Oscars anizers have already made sure of one change by announcing Australian actor Hugh Jackman as the host of the show.
Among the changes reported to be considered are the decision to leave out the ceremony’s opening monologue(独白)．
The names of the invited on the awards night have also been kept secret while in earlier years the Academy made presenters to the ceremony public before weeks.
The New York Times reported on Monday that the producers are trying to improve the show by asking studios to provide scenes from films.
At the same time Ganis also advised nominees to give some thought to make their aeptance speeches memorable－and short.

Firstly，we should not use our eyes continuously for long periods. After reading for an hour or so，we should rest our eyes by looking at something distant. Secondly，we should not keep our book close to our eyes when reading it. We should also keep in mind not to read in the sun or in dim light，not to read in bed or in a moving bus. Besides，doing eye exercises regularly will help us keep good eyesight. Last but not least，we had better get our eyes checked at least every two years in order to find eyes’ problems immediately.
As the saying goes，“The eyes are the window of the soul.”Let’s take action to protect our eyes.
