第二部分：阅读理解（共4小题，每小题10分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑．

41．Since the beginning of the Internet era it has been pretty widely accepted that when you join an online service，whatever data you put into it belongs to you．That's the way things were﹣until Facebook came along．Facebook took a different approach．Until recently，everything you put into Facebook﹣photos，messages，wall posts，your profile info，and，most significant，your address book﹣could not be exported anywhere．In effect，you didn't own your data．Facebook did．

In October it relaxed things a bit with a policy that lets you export most of your stuff，with one glaring exception：the e﹣mail addresses of the

people on your contact list．All you get is a list of names．Facebook says it can't let you take your friends'e﹣mail addresses because that information doesn't belong to you； it belongs to your friends．Of course this is rubbish．The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult，if not impossible，for you to leave．

Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook．Google is steamed because its users can，and often do，export their Gmail contact information into Facebook．But those people can't bring Facebook info back into Gmail．

Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to services that don't reciprocate ﹣meaning guess who．In a countermove，Facebook hacked around Google's roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google．

Google said it was"disappointed"with Facebook's behavior．It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won't get it back．

Both companies declined to comment on the record for this story．But what's really going on is that they're at war．Google views Facebook as a threat to its business and has been trying to launch a social﹣networking service to compete with it．Facebook has rounded up 500million people and intends to generate billions of dollars in revenue（收益） by gathering data about them and selling it to advertisers．

Facebook's position with rival tech companies boils down to this：if you want access to all the information we've collected，strike a deal with us．Microsoft and Yahoo have done that，and now，like magic，they can export Facebook contact info into their systems，while Google still can't．Remember the early days of the Net，when everything was going to be open and free，and we were all going to share information in a techno﹣utopia？That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned

into gold．Now there are billions at stake，and nobody is playing nice anymore．

41．Before Facebook appeared，people generally believed that ．A．they can join any online service at their own will

B．their online information belongs to online service providers C．they own all the data they put into online services

D．their online service providers should keep their online info secret 42．What does the author think of Facebook preventing its users exporting their e﹣mail address to other online services？

A．It can ensure the safety of its users'information．

B．It has quite reasonable explanation．

C．It is one example often seen in online services．

D．It makes leaving Facebook hard for its users．

43．What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4？A．return the favour

B．update in time

C．expand widely

D．guarantee their rights

44．What action did Google take to deal with the threat from Facebook？A．It united Microsoft and Yahoo to fight against what Facebook did．B．It planned to create a social﹣networking service to fight Facebook．C．It warned its users of danger of giving away information on Facebook．D．It created a program preventing Facebook's hackers browsing its site．45．What does the author say about the Net in its early days？

A．The data on it was the tool for people to make profit．

B．It didn't allow people to share the information on it．

C．It made people in danger of revealing their privacy on line．D．All the information it provided was accessible and free of charge．46．

46．Which book would you recommend to someone who is interested in healthy ways of cooking？

A．Eat for Life．

B．Lifespan．

C．Where There is No Doctor．

D．The Twenty﹣Four﹣Hour Society．

47．Who will find Where There is No Doctor most helpful？

A．Those with a wish to live longer．

B．Those studying human physiology．

C．Those without immediate health care．

D．Those hoping to form a healthy eating habit．

48．Who wrote the book about how technology affects our lives？A．Carol Thurman．

B．Martin Moore﹣Ede．

C．Catherine E．Woteki．

D．Thomas J．Moore．

49．From Lifespan we know that ．

A．a person's lifespan has something to do with his genes

B．eating healthy food makes somebody live long

C．a good eating habit is important for people

D．weight watching helps someone enjoy a long life．

50．Much time and effort has been dedicated to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments，but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son's soccer game，or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to see to some personal affairs，have broader physical health benefits beyond making you feel a bit less exhausted？According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews，it seems so．In a review of 10previous studies examining the health implications of flexible work conditions for more than 16，000people，researchers found that flexible work schedules ﹣﹣﹣when employees can shift their starting times，for example﹣﹣﹣were associated with improvements in blood pressure，sleep and overall mental health．Specifically，the review showed that more flexibility in work schedules was associated with improvements in alertness，sleep quality，tiredness，heart rate and other primary health outcomes，as well as benefits to secondary health outcomes，such as sensed social support in the workplace and sense of community．And，perhaps unsurprisingly，in all of the studies included in the review，researchers found no evidence for negative effects of more flexible work schedules．

This primary analysis was intended to shed light on the potential health

benefits of flexible work options，which are increasingly popular throughout Scandinavia，and have recently gained some ground in the U．K．In the U．S．，the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on﹣﹣﹣fewer than a third of U．S．employees have flexible work options，according to estimates from the AARP．Yet，the economic recession（衰退） of recent years may have contributed to growth in workplace flexibility﹣﹣﹣as companies unable to reward employees with bonuses or raises may turn to other forms of compensation（补偿）．Reuters reported early last year．

Previous research too，of course，has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes．And while these latest findings are promising，the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the subtle relationship between flexible work and improved health outcomes．For example，employees who are most frequently granted workplace leeway（时间等的充裕） are generally higher﹣ranking，and as such are likely of higher socioeconomic status，which could impact their overall health apart from work scheduling．To truly grasp the benefits of flexible working conditions，the researchers say，additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wider range of workers﹣﹣﹣from high﹣ranking executives to hourly employees﹣﹣﹣is critical to gaining a deeper understanding of the issue，and helping to shape future workplace policy．

50．Which of the following can best summarize the passage？

A．The reason why more and more countries adopt flexible work options．B．The possibility of carrying out flexible work schedules worldwide．C．Why flexible work options benefits workers in mind．

D．Whether flexible work conditions make healthier workers．51．Which opinion may the research of Cochrane Library's Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews support？

A．Flexibility in work schedules may have some passive effects．

B．Flexibility in work schedules has nothing to do with health．C．Flexible work can benefit people mentally and physically．D．Flexible work can greatly improve employees'work efficiency．52．According to what Reuters reported early last year，what result has recent years'economy recession brought？

A．It has caused the severe decline of employee's salary．

B．It may have led to the growth of workplace flexibility．

C．It may have resulted in many companies'failure．

D．It made companies shorten their employee's working hours．53．What role does the additional study analyzing different kinds of employees'health outcomes play？

A．It can help form the future policy of workplace．

B．It is good for spreading the flexible work schedules．

C．It makes more common workers gain workplace freedom．

D．It assists people to better understand flexible work．

54．What is the author's attitude towards flexible working schedules？A．Supporting．

B．Critical．

C．Objective．

D．Subjective．

55．Benjy and I were working in the yard together one afternoon．It was during a summer between college terms，a time of uncertainty for my son．Benjy wanted to follow in my footsteps as a musician，but he was impatient for success．I ached for him and wished I could say something．Taking a break，Benjy looked around our 15acres with its stream，its trees，and its rolling grass．"This place is beautiful，"he said．"How did you get it？"

"I wondered when you'd ask，"I replied．We tend to take things for granted until we're about to leave or lose them．I told Benjy the story．

Our first child，Suzanne，had just been born．Gloria and I were teaching in a town where I had grown up．We wanted land so we could build a house．I noticed a parcel south of town where cattle grazed（吃草）．It belonged to a 92﹣year﹣old retired banker named Mr．Yule．He owned a lot of land in the area，but was selling none of it．He gave the same speech to everyone who inquired．"I promised the farmers they could use it for their cattle．" Nevertheless，Gloria and I visited him at the bank，where he still spent his days．We made our way past a forbidding mahogany（红木） door and into a dim office．Mr．Yule sat behind a desk，reading The Wall Street Journal．He barely moved，looking at us over the top of his bifocals．

"Not selling，"he said pleasantly，when I told him we were interested in the piece of land．"Promised it to a farmer for grazing．"

"I know，"I replied nervously．"But we teach school here，and we thought that maybe you would sell it to someone planning to settle．"

He pursed his lips and stared．"What'd you say your name was？" "Gaither．Bill Gaither．"

"H'm．Any relation to Grover Gaither？"

"Yes，sir．He was my granddad．"

Mr．Yule put down his paper and removed his glasses．Then he pointed to a couple of chairs，and we sat down．

"Grover Gaither was the best worker I ever had on my farm，"he said．"Showed up early，stayed late，did whatever needed doing and never had to be told．" The old man leaned forward．"I found him in the barn one night an hour after quitting time．He told me the tractor needed fixing and he wouldn't feel right about leaving it undone．"Mr．Yule squinted，his eyes distant with the memory．"What'd you say you wanted，Gaither？"

I told him again．

"Let me do some thinking on it，then come back and see me．"

I was in his office again within a week．Mr．Yule told me he had thought

about it．I held my breath．

"How does 3，800sound？"heasked．At3，800per acre，I would have to come up with nearly 60，000!Wasthisjustawayofputtingmeoff？"Thirty﹣eighthundred？"Irepeated，withacatchinmythroat．"Yup．Fifteenacresfor3，800．"The land had to be worth at least three times that!I gratefully accepted．

Nearly three decades later，my son and I strolled the green property that had once been pasture．"Benjy，"I said，"you've had this wonderful place to grow up on all because of the good name of a man you never met．" At Granddad's funeral，many people had come up to me to say，"Your grandfather was a good man．"He was praised for his compassion，his ability to forgive，his tenderness，his generosity﹣﹣﹣and，most of all，his integrity．He had been a simple farmer，but his character made him a leader．A good man．A wonderful phrase﹣﹣﹣one that has almost been lost in our culture．It reminds me of a verse from Proverbs that I was raised on："A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches，and loving favor rather than silver and gold．"

A good name is the legacy（遗产） Granddad Gaither left me．It is what I hope to leave Benjy，along with a story he can tell his son as they walk this gentle land．

55．When the writer was asked by his son how he got the land，he ．A．felt very surprised

B．didn't know how to reply

B．He agreed as soon as he learned the writer's relation with Grover Gaither．

C．He asked a price that the writer couldn't afford．

D．He said it had already been sold to a farmer for grazing．

58．Why did the writer eventually get the land from Mr．Yule？A．Because he had a good name．

B．Because he offered a reasonable price．

Dear Sally，

Now I'd like to tell you anything about my part﹣time job this summer vacation，in which I worked like a guide in a travel agency．The work was interesting but tired．I think it was helpful to work this holiday．It was the first time that I have earned money on my own．I've come to understand how hard my parents work to support for the family．I used to keep on ask them for money，but now I'll never waste money and learn to share worry with my parent．I've learnt how to get along well with

Yours，

Li Bing．

1．﹣Do you think he'll come to join us in hiking tomorrow？

﹣________．He is absolutely a couch potato．（）

A．That's none of my business．

B．You said it．

C．I wouldn't bet on it．

D．Far from it．

【考点】语言交际．

【分析】﹣﹣﹣你认为明天他会跟我们一起去远足吗？

﹣﹣﹣我看不一定．他是一个终日懒散的人．

【解答】答案C．

A项"不关我的事"；B项"你算说对了"；D项"根本不是，远非如此"；C项"我看不一定"；根据答句中"He is absolutely a couch potato"可知，他是一个终日懒散的人，说话者认为‘他不一定会跟我们一起去远足'，"I wouldn't bet on it"意为"我看不一定"，故选C．

2．There was _______ time when I stopped reading comics for a while，and I got really spellbound by_______classical music．（）

A．a；/ B．the； the C．a； the D．the；/

【考点】不定冠词．

【分析】曾经有一段时间我有一阵子不再阅读连环漫画书，而且我痴迷于古典音乐．

【解答】答案：A．

there was a time when…这是一个固定句型，表示"曾经有一段时间…"，必须加冠词a，第二空后面的classical music为抽象名词，不是特指，不需要加冠词，故选A．

3．_______ production up by 80%，the company has had another excellent year．（）

A．As B．For C．Through D．With

【考点】with的复合结构．

【分析】随着产量上升了百分之60，这个公司又是一个丰收年．

【解答】答案：D．

本句中production后面为介词短语，不是一个完整的句子，所以可排除A项，as为一个连词，用来连接句子；for表示原因，为介词，后面不能跟复合宾语，through为介词，表示通过，用在这里与语境不符；所以用介词with，构成介词with的复合结构，在句中作原因状语；故选D．

4．The photo was taken _______ stood the famous statue，a landmark of the city he paid a visit last July．（）

A．which B．in which C．where D．what

【考点】地点状语从句．

【分析】这张照片是在这个著名雕像那拍的，那个雕像是他去年七月访问的一个城市的地标建筑．

【解答】答案：C．根据 stood the famous statue可知此处为完全倒装，这个著名雕像耸立在哪呢，再结合前面The photo was taken根据句意"这张照片是在这个著名雕像那拍的"，说明后面整句是地点状语从句，而地点状语从句stood the famous statue，可知句子不完整，缺地点状语．故选C．注意B选项是定语从句，前面缺先行词

5．Since studying abroad often puts you on a completely different continent，you are much closer to places you might _______ not have had
