6．My 3-year-old son and I lived a very hard life because I had been out of work since two years ago．Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says："Can I have some more bread and jam （果酱） please，Mummy？"And you break down in tears，because you don't know how to tell him that there is no more food．With￡6，I went to the supermarket，picked up some food and started to cook at home．It was time for me to make a change and get back on my feet．I began to write a series of articles for the website named Hunger Hurt in July 2011．
   A few months later，local food bank gave me some help--with some free vegetables every month，which made my life a little easier．I began to write recipes（食谱），posting them on my blog．To my surprise，families，students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables．

5．A modern-day love story of a man seeing the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over．
For Web designer Patrick Moberg，then 21，from Brooklyn，it was love at first sight when he saw a woman on a Manthttan train last November．But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch（素描）picture to find her-www．Nygirlofmydreams．com．
Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people，it only took Moberg 48 hours to find the woman，with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing．New Yorkers took pity on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt．
The mysterious girl was named as Camille Hayton，from Melbourne，Australia，who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn．One of her friends saw the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her．
But after finding each other，appearing on TV and getting international press，the couple took their romance out of the public eye，with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more comments-until now．
Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn't work out．
"I say we dated for a while but now we're just friends，"Hayton，now 23，told the newspaper．Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as"that girl"and the question is always the same："So what happened？"
"I think the situation was so intense that it linked us，"she said，adding，"it linked us in a way that you could mistake，I guess，for being more romantic than it was．I don't know．But I wanted to give it a go so didn't wonder what if，what if？"
Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York，keeping busy with acting classes，working in two clothing stores．Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns．
"I just can't believe it happened．It feels like a long time ago，"said Hayton．Moberg，however，was still refusing to comment on the relationship．

4．It's still there，the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go．Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence，the school I knew ten years ago remains the same．
      Every day at 5 p．m．，instead of flying kites with our friends，my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school．No amount of kicking，screaming，or arguing could stop my mother，who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture．She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long，hilly blocks from our home to school，leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school．
    We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room，which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time．I hated that smell．There was a stage far to the right，with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side．
      Although the school mainly taught language----speaking，reading，dictation----the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness．With the entrance of the teacher，the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up，and say in Vietnamese，"How are you，teacher？"
      The language always made me embarrassed．More often than not，I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area．The voice belonged to my grandmother，a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street．Her Vietnamese was quick，it was loud，and it was not beautiful．
      In our area，the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy．I did not want to be thought of as being mad，as talking stupid．When I spoke English，people nodded at me，smiled and encouraged me．Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life．
My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English．He was especially cruel towards my mother，scolding her for her poor English．Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation．
After two years of struggle，I finally divorced my culture．I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school．I thought of myself as American．At last，I thought I was one of you； I wasn't one of them．
 Sadly，I am only an American．

3．Six years ago，a Miami woman walking through the hall of an office building casually noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving，the men murdered a person working in the building．Police investigators determined that the woman was the only witness who had seen the two suspects，and could possibly describe them．In an interview with police，her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear．
Several days later，psychologist Ronald P．Fisher was brought in to get a more complete description from the woman．Fisher's interview produced a breakthrough （突破）-the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．She then recalled several details about his appearances．This information gave police important leads that enabled them to arrest the suspects and close the case．
Police investigators found the help from Fisher because of his rich knowledge in conducting the so-called cognitive （认知的） interview，a kind of memory-rebuilding process．In its original form，the cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques：thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events，reporting everything that comes to mind about those events no matter how broken or unconnected，retelling events in kinds of time orders，beginning to end，end to beginning，forward or backward，and accepting different views while recalling events．
Usually，an interviewer begins the cognitive approach by encouraging the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words，with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques，such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different aspects．
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they get nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training，while error rates remain about the same．
56．What is the purpose of this passage？D
A．To give an description of a murder case in an office．
B．To explain why Fisher was invited to a police interview．

A．strengthening her memory           
B．giving her encouragement
C．rebuilding her memory             
D．giving her more time
58．It can be inferred from the passage that in a cognitive interview，the interviewer mainly plays aArole．
A．directing          B．questioning    C．disappointing       D．interrupting
59．What is the key point of the cognitive interview？B
A．The interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time．
B．The witness is encouraged to take an active role in recalling information．
C．The interview should take place outside the police station．
D．The witness should recall details at the scene of the event．
60．Police trained in the cognitive interview method canA．
A．get more information from the witness than before       
B．decrease the error rate
C．solve the cases more quickly      
D．use the method more skillfully than the psychologists．

2．Today，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare．He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today．
During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays．It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works．For example，in Shakespeare's play"The Comedy of Errors"，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus．For his play"Macbeth"，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information．Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity（强度）of his imagination and language made the plays his own．While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on．
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him．He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays．His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen．Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear．His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people．
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture．But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language．During his time，the English language was changing．Many new words from other languages were being added．Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones．For example，he created the noun forms of"critic"，"mountaineer"and"eyeball"．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including"pomp and circumstance（装腔作势）"from"Othello"，"full circle（绕圈子地）"from"King Lear"，etc．The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless．From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented．Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world．
Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater．His years of hard work paid off．
54．From the passage，we can see thatB．
A．Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student

C．the experience of living in London had no effect on Shakespeare's works

1．Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team．It was the final quarter．The score was two to one，my son's team in the lead．Parents surrounded the playground，offering encouragement．
With less than ten seconds remaining，the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate，Mickey O'Donnel．With shouts of"Kick it!"echoing across the playground，Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted．O'Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence．Mickey had scored all right，but in the wrong goal，ending the game in a tie．For a moment there was a total hush．You see，Mickey has Down syndrome（唐氏综合症）and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal．All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey．He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored．
The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，hugged my son tightly and shouted，"I scored!I scored!Everybody won!Everybody won!"For a moment I held my breath，not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched，through tears，as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting，"Way to go Mickey!Way to go Mickey!"Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey，joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．

Some jobs were more interesting than others，and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones．When giving them out，the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year．During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instructions perfectly．All the children knew Rita would be given the best job．
