(64)Tohousing decoration,until he (65)was forced(force) to give that up due to a finger injury.Earlier this year,he discovered sugar painting,something he really had an interest in.
Since there was no sugar painting craftsman in his village,he studied by (66)himself(he) through large quantities of videos and information on the Internet.Li loved painting when he was young,and he found it easy to learn the skill in sugar painting.He soon mastered the skill and could make a (67)variety(vary) of sugar paintings.A sugar painting is made with (68)melted(melt) brown or white sugar.Craftsman (69)normally(normal) paint animals and flowers on a stone board with the syrup(糖浆).When the sugar cools down,(70)what appears is a piece of sugar art.

分析 糖画作为中国传统的艺术形式正在日益消失,38岁的李江中决心将糖画延续下去.

解答 61.distant 考查词性转换.空处修饰名词memory,故填形容词distant"遥远的,久远的"
62.Keeping 考査非谓语动词.一38岁的手艺人李健忠致力于继承糖面艺术.Be committed to中的to是介词,故此处应用动名词.
63.The 考査冠词.上文提到他做过十多年矿工.故此处表示他所在的矿井关闭以后,为特指,故用the.
64.To 考查介词.他转而去做房屋装修的工作了. turn to"转而做,转向".
65.was forced 考查时态和语态.直到他因为手指受伤而被迫放弃.此处讲述过去的事情,故用一般过去时,且句子的主语和force之间是被动关系,应用被动语态.
66.himself 考查代词.由于他的村子里没有糖面手艺人,因此他自学(制作糖面).by oneself是固定用法,表示"独自地,全靠自己地"Study by oneself"自学".
67.variety 考查词性转换.他很快掌握了这项技术并能制作出各种各样的糖画.a variety of各种各样".
68.melted 考查非谓语动词.糖面通常足用褐色或白色的融化了的糖做的.糖是被融化的,故用过去分词作定语.
69.normally 考查词性转换.手艺人们通常用糖浆在石板上画动物和花.修饰谓语动词用副词.
70.what 考查主语从句.分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,表示"所…的东西",故填what.

9.Brain-training software may be a waste of time.People who played"mind-boosting"games made the same modest cognitive gains as those who spent a similar amount of time surfing the web."It didn't really make any difference what people did,"says Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council Cognition,who tested brain-training software on volunteers recruited through a BBC television program.
Owen and his colleagues asked 11,000 volunteers to take tests to measure their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial(空间的)memory.Participants then spent six weeks playing on one of two computer programs,or just surfing the web for pleasure.In one program,which imitates commercial brain-training software,the volunteers solved simple mathematics problems and puzzles that tested their memories.The other was designed specifically to boost cognitive abilities such as reasoning and planning.
After six weeks,the participants underwent a second round of cognitive tests.Both groups who played the games made modest improvements,yet so did the web surfers.Skills learned via the programs didn't transfer to the cognitive tests,even when they relied on similar abilities,says Owen.For instance,people who played a game in which they had to find a match for a briefly overturned card struggled at a similar test that used stars"hidden"in boxes,"Even when the tests were conceptually quite similar we didn't see any improvement,"says Owen.He concludes that brain-training software only makes people better at the specific tasks they have been practicing.
Yet Klingberg,who founded a cognitive-training firm called Cogmed,is indignant at the conclusion that all brain training is bunk.The participants in Owen's study didn't practice for long enough and there was no quality control over what practice people did,he says."Asking subjects to sit at home and do tests online,perhaps with the TV on or other distractions around,is likely to result in noisy data,"he says."This paper does in no way disprove that the brain is plastic or that cognitive functions can be improved by training."Owen counters that his team's research took place in settings similar to the ones people are likely to practice in."This is what people are doing.They're sitting at home on their computers doing brain training."

32.The purpose of Owen recruiting volunteers to do the first round of tests isA.
A.test their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial memory
B.support the BBC television program in his way
C.prove how much information participants can remember
D.detect differences among people in memorizing information
33.From the second round of cognitive tests,Owen concludes thatD.
A.all participants have made much recognizable improvement dramatically
B.participants have developed reasoning ability to solve complicated problems
C.participants can make greater improvement in solving very similar problems
D.participants performed better in certain tasks they have practiced for a long time
34.What's the meaning of"indignant"?C
A.Surprised.
B.Agreeable.
C.Mad.
D.Dishonest.
35.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.There is a debate about whether brain-training software is effective.
B.We should concentrate on brain-training software in our daily life.
C.Brain-training software is useless to most people.
D.It is important to improve reasoning ability and spatial memory.

9.Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally,there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants,and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand,looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor."
He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right."The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand,her head dropped,and his lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,"How much did you say?"
The ticket lady again quoted the price.The man didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.

Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out a﹩20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then he picked it op and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,"Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.'The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on,he looked straight into my dad's eyes,took my dad's hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek,he replied,"Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family."
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.We didn't go to the circus that night,when I asked dad why he did so,Dad said,"My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn't begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young."He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory."We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.We didn't go to the circus tonight,but we didn't go without.Now,who wants an ice cream?".

Memorandum(备忘录)
To:Members of all departments
From:Annette Derringer
Subject:Year-end party
Date:November 26
  This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month's year-end party.As you know,the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club,which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st.1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance,but if you have not let me know yet,please do so in the next day or two.Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company.
  The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before.Basically,there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles,so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool(拼车)as much as possible.Also,the number of lockers available is small,so guests should try to keep belongings to a,minimum.
Thanks in advance,
Annette

Annette,
  I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7:30.I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests.I know it is a bit of a last-minute request,but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time,and they would love to see the Green Vale.If it is not a problem,then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets?Also,assuming this is OK,we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear.I will have a couple of days off before the party,and I will not be in my office December 17th,so could you get back to me before then?
Thanks a lot,
Kyle

3.When other nine-year-old kids were playing games,she was working at a petrol station.When other teens were studying or going out,she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street.But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University.And her amazing story has inspired a movie,"Homeless to Harvard:The Liz Murray Story",shown in late April.
Liz Murray,a 22-year-old American girl,has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination.Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents.There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house.Liz was the only member of the family who had a job.Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15years old.The effect of that became a turning point in her life.Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died,she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school.She threw herself into her studies,never telling her teachers that she was homeless.At night,she lived on the streets."What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding,by understanding that there was a whole other way o f being.I had only experienced a small part of the society,"she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on.She used the benefits that come easily to others,such as a safe living environment,to encourage herself that"next to nothing could hold me down".She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University.But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father,who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much.They are drug addicts.But I never forget that they love me all the time."
Liz wants moviegoers (who often see films) to come away with the idea that changing your life is"as simple as making a decision".

28.In which order did the following things happen to Liz?A
a.Her mother died of AIDS.
b.She worked at a petrol station.
c.She got admitted into Harvard.
d.The movie about her life was put on.
e.She had trouble finding a place to sleep.
A.b,a,e,c,d 
B.a,b,c,e,d 
C.e,d,b,a,c  
D.b,e,a,d,c
29.The main idea of the passage isD.
A.how Liz managed to enter Harvard University
B.what a hard time Liz had in her childhood
C.why Liz loved her parents so much
D.how Liz struggled to change her life
30.What actually made her go towards her goal?B
A.Envy and competition.
B.Willpower and determination.
C.Decisions and understanding.
D.Love and respect for her parents.
31.When she wrote"What drove me to live on…I had only experienced a small part of the society",she meant thatC.
A.she had little experience of social life
B.she could hardly understand the society
C.she would do something for her own life
D.she needed to travel more around the world.
