toga(長袍)as punishment.His crime？He was charged with underage drinking，illegal possession of alcohol and too much noise while holding a party.This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years，mostly imposed(強加)by local judges for lessserious crimes，such as drunk driving and theft.They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent(威懾)For example，in Tennessee，Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters stand outside WalMart with signs that read，“I am a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie.”“Alternative punishments like community service and fines don't convey moral condenation of the criminal，”said Dan Kahan，a University of Chicago Law School professor，in an article published on the university's website.“They aren't shameful enough.”Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values.Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.Others aren't so sure.“There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in preventing people from committing specific crimes.And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain trust in society，”said Hosmanek.“So, a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crimes to support himself.”36According to the passage，wearing a toga in public is a(n)_Ahonour Bshame Cduty Dcrime解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“This shaming punishment”承前指代wearing a toga這種處罰。答案B37Connolly was punished for_.Ashoplifting Bdrunk drivingCserious crimes Dpetty crimes解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段可得A、B、C三項錯誤。第四段“They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent”可知。答案D38Which of the following is the most effective in preventing petty crimes according to Professor Kahan?AGetting a fine for what one has done.BApologizing to the police for one's wrong doing.CHolding a sign in public that announces one'sown crime.DBeing forced to work for the community without being paid.解析推理判斷題。根據第五段“.they aren't shameful enough”可知Professor Kahan贊同新做法。答案C39According to Hosmanek，shamed criminals are more likely to commit new crimes because_.Ait's difficult for them to find a jobBthey no longer have a sense of shameCthere's too much fighting in societyDthey do not want to do any work解析推理判斷題。根據最后一段“.face a hard battle to regain trust in society .more crimes to support himself”可知這些罪犯犯罪雖小，但是因為失去了社會的信任，難找工作，所以不得不通過繼續(xù)犯罪來謀生。答案ABIf cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its car­plane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2011.“It's the next wow' vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，Ferraris don't fly.”The car­plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go.When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home.The car­plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum take off weight of 1,430 pounds，including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(臨界的)conditions.The Transition's price tag：194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，a transponder or a GPS.Another option is a full­plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，”Gersh said.So far，the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，”Brown said.【語篇解讀】 大千世界，無奇不有。一種既能夠在陸地上行駛，又可以在空中飛行的汽車式飛機即將誕生。40We can learn from the first two paragraphs that_.Acar­planes will be popular in 2011Bpeople might drive a car­plane in 2011Cboth the Transition and Ferrari can take off and landDRichard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts解析推理判斷題。第一段提到這家公司計劃在2011年的年底之前推出這款新產品，由此可推測B項正確。答案B41It takes the car­plane one minute to_.Afold and unfold its wingsBunfold wings for flyingCland in the airportDmeet flying safety regulations解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段可知它打開飛行用的機翼需要一分鐘的時間。故選B。答案B42According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?AThe car­plane needs a runway to take off and land.BTo meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA.CThe car­plane may fly as high as normal planes.DPeople can park the car­plane in the garage at their home.解析推理判斷題。第六段的第一句提到這款產品設計的起初飛行高度是一萬英尺以下，由此可知它不能和正常的飛機飛行同樣的高度。答案CCA 33­year­old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet，and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month.Salman Khan's voice is heard every day on the Netby tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math.He has posted 1,200 lessons on that appear on an electronic blackboard，which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance.And they are free.Khan lives in Silicon Valley，with his wife，a doctor，and their new baby.He got the idea for his“Khan Academy” four years ago，when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams.With Khan's help，the cousin got good at math，and Khan began a new career.Now，Khan records his lessons himself，but he never goes on camera.“It feels like my voice in their head.You're looking at it and it feels like someone's over your shoulder talking in your ear，as opposed to someone at the blackboard，which is distant from you，”he said.When Springfield High School in Palo Alto，California invited Khan to speak in personhe immediately connected to the students there.The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney.She said she had trouble with math in the seventh grade.“I think the teachers are good，but they can't teach at a speed that's perfect for everyone，”she said.“I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.”O(jiān)riginally，Khan kept his lessons short because of restrictions.Now，he thinks short_is_better.“Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration.And anything beyond that and your brain switches off，”he said.For Khan，teaching math，science，and finance is just the beginning.He says he's ready to expand his site to include other subjects as well.【語篇解讀】 加利福尼亞一個財務分析師放棄自己的工作，而從事一個沒有報酬的工作在網絡上教授數學，結果很受歡迎43What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?AHis success in helping his cousin learn math.BHis discovery that many students found learning math difficult.CA suggestion made to him at a local high school.DHis interest in Internet teaching.解析細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段最后兩句可知，A項正確，即他的這個想法源于他輔導自己堂弟數學，并使他的數學成績提高之后。答案A44Why does Khan never go on camera?AHe's too shy to show his face on camera.BIt's restricted by for education videos.CHe wants to keep distance from the viewers.DHe wants to create a more relaxing learning atmosphere.解析推理判斷題。由第三段Khan說的話可推知，Khan不上鏡是想給學生提供一個更寬松的學習環(huán)境。故選D。答案D45From the passage，we know that_.AKhan travels to many schools to promote his lessonsBKhan plans to include more subjects in the futureCKhan gives live math lessons every day for freeDKhan sets up the“Khan Academy”with his wife解析細節(jié)理解題。根據文章最后一句話“He says he's ready to expand his site to include other subjects as well”可直接得到答案。答案B46Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan's lessons?AKhan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher.BThe lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood.CShe can perfectly follow the pace of Khan's teaching.DShe cannot concentrate when learning in class.解析推理判斷題。根據倒數第三段第一句話和該段最后一句話可知，她之所以喜歡Khan的課，是因為這個課程可以重復聽，直到最后完全懂了為止。因此B項正確。答案BDRe­gifting only with careAt this busiest gift­givingtime of the year，many of us wonder what to do with the unwanted presents we get.Is it all right to re­giftto give the unwanted present to someone else?A gift is a symbol of what a relationship means to us.The best gifts meet the needs or satisfy the desires of the receiver.A gift should be about pleasing the other person，not showing off the taste，wealth of power of the giver.We should give with the other person，not ourselves in mind.Still，a friend，colleague or family member who knows us well might now and then buy us something that is the last thing we'd buy for ourselves.People in long­term relationships can be surprised at the choices in clothes，music or gadgets(小玩意) made by their friends of relatives.Re­gifting creates a dilemma(窘境) because we don't want to hurt the feelings of the gift­giver，but we also feel it's wasteful not to use something that might benefit someone else.Re­gifting avoids waste and repays a debt gratitude we owe to someone else，but it presents the risk that the original giver will be hurt if she or he discovers what we did.Following are a few guidelines for re­gifting：Don't use the gift.Re­gift soon，so you don't risk re­gifting to the original giver.Make sure that the new receiver doesn't know the original giver or is unlikely to run into him or her.If there's a possibility that the original giver could learn about the re­gift or if he or she expects to see you wearing the gift，consider asking for permission.Let him or her know how much you appreciate the thought behind the gift.A person who understands that a gift is intended to be pleasing will understand.As long as the person who gave the unwelcome gift doesn't mind or won't find out，you can re­gift with a clear conscience.Besides，you can be sure that at least one of the gifts you've received was given originally to someone else.【語篇解讀】 本文講述如何贈送禮品。47According to the author，the gift that you want to buy for your friend had better be the one _.Athat can benefit someone elseBthat you want to buy for yourselfCthat is a necessity for your friendDthat will surprise your friend解析由文中第二段中“The best gifts meet the needs or satisfy the desires of the receiver”可知，最好的禮物要迎合和滿足接受者的需要。答案C48In the third paragraph，the author wants to tell readers that _.Apeople sometimes get the gifts that they don't really likeBour friends usually choose the best gifts for usCwe should not buy clothes，music or gadgets for our friendsDyour best friend should know what gift is the best for you解析根據短文第三段中：a friend，colleague or family member who knows us well might now and then buy us something that is the last thing we'd buy for ourselves表示把自己最不喜歡的禮物買來送給朋友，換句話說，有時朋友會收到他們不喜歡的禮物。答案A49What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?AThe gift you get is the one you bought for someone.BRe­gifting is a very common practice today.CYou should re­gift at least two gifts each year.DMore than one of your friends will re­gift their presents to you each year.解析通過文章題目可知答案。答案B50According to its meaning，the sentence “After all，some people like orange and red sweaters，or the complete recorded works of Wayne Newton(US singer)，or fruitcake(which you don't like at all)” should be put at the end of _.AParagraph 1 BParagraph 2CParagraph 3 DParagraph 4解析“After all”承前啟后。答案DESomeone asked me this week if I thought we really can have“it all”My immediate answer was“of course”，but after thinking it over，I concluded that it depends on a lot of things.In my opinion，the answer of whether or not you can have “it all” has to vary from person to person because we are all so different，and everyone has a differing definition(定義)of “it all”In fact，I believe that even the same individual's definition of“it all”varies over his life.Most babies believe they have“it all”when they are in the arms of their mommy enjoying a good meal.That's all it takes！But，as those babies mature，their definitions become more complex，and they find“it all”becomes increasingly a private matter.I have learned a lot of important life lessons during my search for“it all”It began in Junior High School，when having“it all”meant having my own room，getting HBO，and being on the“A”volley ball team at school.And，yes，I achieved those goals and had“it all”At least for a little while.Because the first lesson I learned about having“it all”was that as soon as you get“it all”，you want more!In High School，I thought I only needed one thing to have“it all”I wanted so badly to be a member of the Madrigal Singers，a famous choir sponsored by our school.I finally got up the nerve to audition(試音)，despite the fact that no one had ever told me I had a special singing talent or that my voice was unique.At least，until my audition，when the director of the choir had no problem told me how LITTLE talent I had！When I didn't make the choir，I learned that if my definition of having “it all” means having something that isn't a godgiven gift，I will always be defeated.If，however，I choose to pursue goals that fit with the talents I have，the chance to have“it all”is unlimited.51What is mainly discussed in the passage?AHow we can have“it all”BEveryone has a differing definition of“it all”CThe author's own experience in having“it all”DWhether we can have“it all”depends on a lot of
