【2014高考英语模拟题】ADear , Dec. 24, 1848Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy no w. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you hav e said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very s hort time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can onl y happen by some fault in your behaviour. What that fault is, I th ink I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler. I doubt w hether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s wor k. In any other day,you do not very much dislike to work, and sti ll you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to yo u that you could get much for it.This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is v astly important to you, and still more so to your children, that yo u should break this habit. It is more important to them, becausethey have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit befor e they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in. You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give y ou money for it.Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home—prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for t he best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get fo r your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at t en dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twen ty dollars a month for your work.Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in de bt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your pla ce in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Hea ven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will d eliver possession—Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not n ow mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but foll ow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.AffectionatelyYour brother51.

Remember th at song from "Bye ByeBirdie"?Well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills.Do not expect too much too soon because a t the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, not should it be.Life experience creates both the conditions and the skills for management, and if management went before experiene, there would be tittle of it.Your daughter is an honor student for good reasons. She is s mart, studies withintelligence and you have given her good Values.When the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visit the ones that were specifically desigened for student the top o f their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriend' s influenee.It is rare for an honor student to change the path of their aca demic career for puppy love. That being said, them might be so me adoldscent wisdom in her behavior after all.Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for uncon scious reasons.

Scientists looked at hundreds of studies of mobile exposur e and found no conclusive links to cancer risk, brain function or infertility. However, they said monitoring should continue becau se little was known about long-term effects. The HPA said children should still avoid excessive use of mobiles.It is the biggest ever review of the evidence surrounding the safety of mobile phones. There are now an estimated 80 million m obiles in the , and because of TV and radio broadcasting, Wi-Fi, and other technological developments, the study said expos ure to low-level radio frequency fields was almost universal and continuou s. A group of experts working for the HPA looked at all significa nt research into the effects of low-level radio frequency.'Relatively reassuring'They concluded that people who were not exposed above guid eline levels did not experience any detectable symptoms. That i ncluded people who reported being sensitive to radio frequency . They also said there was no evidence that exposure caused b rain tumours, other types of cancer, or harm to fertility or cardio vascular health.But they said very little was known about risks beyond 15 years , because most people did not use mobile phones until the late 1990s. Prof Anthony Swerdlow, who chaired the review group, said it was important to continue monitoring research. "Even though it's relatively reassuring, I also think it's important that we keep an eye on the rates of brain tumours and other ca ncers," he said. "One can't know what the long-term consequences are of something that has been around for only a short period."There has been speculation about the health effects of using m obile phones for years. The HPA conducted a previous review i n 2003, which also concluded that there was no evidence of har m. But there is now far more research into the subject.Advice on childrenThe experts said more work was needed on the effect of radio f requency fields on brain activity, and on the possible association with behavioural problems in children. They also cal led for more investigation into the effects of new technology whi ch emits radio frequency, such as smart meters in homes and a irport security scanners.The HPA said it was not changing its advice about mobile phon e use by children. "As this is a relatively new technology, the H PA will continue to advise a precautionary approach," said Dr J ohn Cooper, director of the HPA's centre for radiation, chemical and environmental hazards. "The HPA recommends that exces sive use of mobile phones by children should be discouraged."55.What does the HPA not do according to the passage?A. It gives advice to children on using mobile phones.B. It monitors the effects of low-level radio frequency.C. It keeps an eye on different functions of mobile phones.D. It does research about the detectable symptoms after using mobile phones.56.The underlined word “reassuring” in the fifth paragraph most probably means “__________”A. comfortingB. dangerousC. seriousD. expens ive57.Why should they still continue monitoring research though th ere is no evidence of harm to health? _____________.A. Because the speculation about the effect of using mobile pho nes is wrong.B. Because the time of using mobile phones isn’t long enough t o tell the long-term effects.C. Because the HPA should take its responsibility to undertake the task.D.Because they didn’t get enough safety reviews about the effe ct of using mobile phones.58.What can we infer from the passage? _____________.A. Exposure to low-level radio frequency fields is a common phenomenon .B. Using mobile phones does great harm to children’s health.C. More and more mobile phones will be used in the future.D. Long-term consequences of something must be more serious than sh ort-term ones.59. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To make people aware of the harm of using mobile phones t o health.B. To arouse people’s attention on fighting against some diseas es.C. To forbid children to use mobile phones.D. To reveal the truth but arouse persistent attention on effects of using mobile phones.55、C 56—59、ABAD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（请注意问题后的词数要求)[1]They say that “seeing is believing”，but when it comes to TV commercials，this is not always the case。
[2]The world’s leading mobile phone maker，Nokia，released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept 5. The smart phone was supposed to possess an advanced camera，which lets customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos. To show how well these features work, the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side, with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone。
However, several hours later, technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product, nor shot from someone riding a bicycle. Instead, someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera。

文章构造之篇章构造题AThe term “helicopter parents〞refers to “a style of parents who are over focused on their children〞．Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30,40 or even older.They constantly shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time.Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons.Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their child’s life in an attempt to protect them.Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate their own children.When parents see other overinvolved parents，it can cause a similar response.They feel that if they don’t involve themselves in their children’s lives，they are bad parents.The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire.To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen.Marycalled the landlord(房东) to install an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations(协商)，her mother rushed in and demanded action.“I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord.We could have gotten it done ourselves.She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，〞says Mary.Obviously，overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite.In the long run parents are actually damaging their child’s basic skills to deal with matters independently.It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own.They’re winning the battle，but actually losing the war.A．To do something good for their children.B．To make their children not ignored.C．To help their children find a good job.D．To get rid of the pressure from other parents.答案A解析细节理解题。
高中英语真题-2014届高三英语二轮复习专题突破精品训练：阅读理解_7
高中英语真题:2014届高三英语二轮复习专题突破精品训练：阅读理解AWe keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how com e the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the on ly people who can work the remote control are the children. Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to s peak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was…”(dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarde d as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy ni ghts. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the hea vy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, t he crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly t he same time, wherever you are.I’ve even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, do n’t worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang b ack and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so yo u can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completel y covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to r eveal that they are in fact, aha, women.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you dow n a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently pl aced near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminal s, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single s hot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV alsodelivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammabl e (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly i nto the air and land without damage — except police cars.TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV , it shows a news flash about someone they know. Theythen turn the box off immediately after that news item.51. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentencebefore he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his________. A. humor B. sympathyC. deep concernD. medical knowl edge52. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world______ _.A. bad things cause people to break down in the rainB. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain witho ut umbrellasD. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don’t happ en at the same time53. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?A. The news shown is always about someone the person know s.B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.D. TV always shows news about famous people.54. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV.B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative.D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.55. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _______ attitude towar ds TV plays.A. positiveB. casualC. negativeD. indifferentB, (AP) — Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a pla nned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official s aid Monday.Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts captured the 21-foot (6.4-meter) male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Ag usan del Sur province after a three-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captur ed alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts .Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witn essed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in wes tern Palawan province."We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the vil lagers," Elorde told The Associated Press by telephone. "When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes."After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, whic h the crocodile destroyed. They then used sturdier traps using s teel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile lat e Saturday, he said.About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing w here a crane lifted it into a truck, he said.The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where th e town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in avast marshland(沼泽地) in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles (830 kil ometers) southeast of Manila, Elorde said."It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that v illagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangero us crocodile "from a threat into an asset."Despite the catch, villagers remain cautious because several cr ocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37, 000 people.They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.56. What can we infer from the passage?A. The villagers captured the crocodile by chance.B. The crocodile the villagers have captured is the largest croco dile captured in recent years.C. The town has already built an ecotourism park for the crocod ile.D. Not all the crocodile live in saltwater.57. What can we know about the crocodiles in this area accordi ng to the passage?A. The crocodiles in the area are very friendly to the villagers.B. The crocodiles usually wander about in the center of the tow n.C. The crocodiles in the town have become a threat to the villag ers.D. The capture of the male crocodile took three months.58. What happened to the crocodile after it was captured?A. It was sent to the ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland.B. It was sent back to the wilderness.C. It was kept in a fenced cage.D. It became the biggest star in the park.59. When Elorde finally stood before the crocodile, how did he f eel?A. Nervous.B. Proud.C. Shocked.D. Happy.60. In Elorde’s opinion, the existence of the crocodile in the wild in this area is __________.A. threateningB. puzzlingC. reasonableD. suspectingADADC DCCCALong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing( 咒骂) the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher wa s appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divi ded into three periods of 20 minutes during which different refer ees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there we re 61 over the tournament. Converted (转换) to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almo st 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the m atches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officialsgot it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the actio n. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. T he research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisio ns came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve t he standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should enco urage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher arg ues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retir e at age 45 may be misguided.

An experienced football referee can do well even when in po or physical condition.BPsychology(心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors , together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern th erapy（疗法） seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have reco gnized this as a problem. They are now using psychological the rapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physic ally. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. H e is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude a nd behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the pati ent's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the e motional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Sim onton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predi ctable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry . Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behavi ors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emphasizes treatm ent of the “whole” patient.The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, a n X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a pow erful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patie nt imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them t o shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to i magine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstre am and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medic ine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude figh t the disease.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. Howev er, this use of psychology does help some patients because the ir attitudes about themselves change. They become more confi dent because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease.Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is t he use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patie nt to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance（催眠状态）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient ab out the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the su ggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to t reatment.Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used s uggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disea se. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘）is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that c auses the patient to have difficulty in breathing. The patient star ts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or s he needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this dis order. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes m ore easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is ver y useful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the trea tment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in , , and ha d good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent results. They were able to bre athe more easily, and they did not need medication.Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred l ess frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Mo st of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors hav e also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medicaluse of psychology and that psychology has important applicati ons in medicine.55. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.B. How modern therapy focuses on the disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How to use the mind against disease.56. How does psychological therapy work?A. The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cur e him.B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work togethe r to fight disease.D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.57. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D. ?A. The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental di sease.B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C. The mental treatment is more important than medical tr eatment.D. Few patients have emotional response to the disease.58. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that _____.A. the medical effect is better with psychological therapy t han without itB. the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hittin g their tumor cellsC. the patients' attitudes towards themselves have chang edD. the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctor s use to treat them59.

If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the rem ote control are the children.Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was…”(dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things onl y happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are. I’ve even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you ar e ever attacked by 20 bad guys, do n’t worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If a nyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently pla ced near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxi ous: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without dam age — except police cars.TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about so meone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.51. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his________.A. humorB. sympathyC. deep concernD. medical knowledge52. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_______.A. bad things cause people to break down in the rainB. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellasD. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don’t happen at the same time53. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?A. The news shown is always about someone the person knows.B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.D. TV always shows news about famous people.54. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV.B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative.D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.55. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _______ attitude towards TV plays.A. positiveB. casualC. negativeD. indifferentB, (AP) — Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a south ern Philippine town, an official said Monday.Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts captured the 21-foot (6.4-meter) male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a thr ee-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts.Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month an d was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in western Palawan province."We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers," Elorde told The Associa ted Press by telephone. "When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes."After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed. They t hen used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said.About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms) , from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck, he said.The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotouri sm park for species found in a vast marshland(沼泽地) in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southeast of Manila, El orde said."It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they w ould be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset."Despite the catch, villagers remain cautious because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts o f the farming town of about 37,000 people.They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.56. What can we infer from the passage?A. The villagers captured the crocodile by chance.B. The crocodile the villagers have captured is the largest crocodile captured in recent years.C. The town has already built an ecotourism park for the crocodile.D. Not all the crocodile live in saltwater.57. What can we know about the crocodiles in this area according to the passage?A. The crocodiles in the area are very friendly to the villagers.B. The crocodiles usually wander about in the center of the town.C. The crocodiles in the town have become a threat to the villagers.D. The capture of the male crocodile took three months.58. What happened to the crocodile after it was captured?A. It was sent to the ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland.B. It was sent back to the wilderness.C. It was kept in a fenced cage.D. It became the biggest star in the park.59. When Elorde finally stood before the crocodile, how did he feel?A. Nervous.B. Proud.C. Shocked.D. Happy.60. In Elorde’s opinion, the existence of the crocodile in the wild in this area is __________.A. threateningB. puzzlingC. reasonableD. suspectingADADC DCCCALong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing( 咒骂) the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the perform ance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minu tes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Con verted (转换) to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably hi gh number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters p er second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, r ather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.51. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.A. reexamine the rules for football refereeingB. analyze the causes of errors made by football refereesC. set a standard for football refereeingD. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup52.

Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?__2__. With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself.

This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school. __1__When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence from the school, depending on the classroom discipline policy. __2__ To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips：*Set a time for “lights out〞 on school nights.

You just waste your valuable time. __1__ One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you.I'm just looking.〞 Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses.〞She says, “Right this way, please〞__2__ If y ou choose a book, “just looking〞 for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about〞，“to understand the reasons for〞and “to find out how〞．__3__ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America〞．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.__4__ At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately.

I think this is important—to appreciate our wins, losses, new passions, insights, etc. __1__ Here are some tips for you on reflection.1．Focus on the process and not the outcome.This thought was beautifully summed up by Srikumar Rao. He explains how we fail because we focus our energies on the outcome rather than the process itself. When a child learns to walk, she never focuses on the outcome but on the process.2．Failure is a lead not a stop sign.When you hit a wall and things don't turn up the way they are intended, no one is saying to you, “This is where you stop because you failed〞. If you do, you are reading the wrong information. Failure tells us, “__2__ Try another method.〞3．Happiness is not the destination but the journey.We think that happiness is a result that comes after having acquired or achieved something we don't have. This is not quite right. __3__ It's about stepping back and enjoying the ride rather than expecting it at your destination point.4．Wisdom comes from the balance between your knowledge and your heart.Let your heart talk more; it wiser than you think. You can be as knowledgeable and clever as one can be. __4__ Wisdom is really having reached a stage where you balance all your knowledge with your heart.5．Gratitude is the energydrink of the soul.Say thank you to the universe every morning.

But after the tribe’s first meeting with Westerners several decades ago, they were nearly wiped out; diseases brought by outsiders reduced the Surui’s numbers from 5, 000 to about 250. Today, some 1, 300 tribe people live in 23 villages across 600, 000 acres. Though they are as likely to wear T-shirts and jeans as feathered headdresses, the Surui are determined to preserve and protect the tribal culture of their homeland. Now they are under threat again, from illegal logging and deforestation(滥伐), but this time it’s different. The Surui have put aside their bows and arrows and taken up a new weapon: the Internet. The tribe people learned to use the Web from their leader, Chief Almir Narayamoga. “We decided to use computers and technology to bring attention to our situation, ”says Narayamoga, 36. The first in his tribe to attend college, Chief Narayamoga learned how to use computers at the Federal University of Goiás in Goiânia, a city of 1. 2 million. In 2007, he fled the Surui homeland after his fight against loggers who placed a $100, 000 reward on his head. He traveled to the United States
