Tim Richter and his wife，Linda，had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo，New York﹣﹣he in computers，she in special education．"Teaching means everything to us，"Tim would say．In April1998，he learned he would need a heart operation．It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose．
Not long after the surgery，Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library，a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation （基金会） that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier，Tennessee．"I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，"Tim recalls．He placed the brochure on his desk，"as a reminder．"
Five years later，now retired and with that brochure still on the desk，Tim clicked on imagination library．com．The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts．
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters．Rather than sign up online，they went to Dollywood for a look﹣see．"We didn't want to give the children rubbish，"says Linda．The books﹣reviewed each year by teachers，literacy specialists and Dollywood board members﹣included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series．
Satisfied，the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work．Since 2004，they have shipped more than 12，200books to preschoolers in their in their area．Megan Williams，a mother of four，is more than appreciative："This program introduces us to books I've never heard of．"
The Richters spend about＄400a month sending books to 200children．"Some people sit there and wait to die，"says Tim．"Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left．"

66．（10分）C
Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21﹣year﹣old twin sons：a combination of savings，income，scholarships，and a modest amount of borrowing．Then her husband lost his job，and the plan fell apart．
"I have two kids in college，and I want to say'come home，'but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，"says Jacobs．
The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools，and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan （贷款） program．They will each graduate with $20，000 of debt，but at least they will be able to finish school．
With unemployment rising，financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs．
More students are applying for aid，and more families expect to need student loans．College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around．
At the same time，tuition （学费） continues to rise．A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007，while average family income rose just 147%．Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade．
"If we go on this way for another 25years，we won't have an affordable system of higher education，"says Patrick M．Callan，president of the center．"The middle class families have been financing it through debt．They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge amount of debt．"
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them．The good news，however，is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing，and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted．
66．According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail？
A．The twins wasted too much money
B．The father was out of work
C．Their saving ran out
D．The family fell apart
67．How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem？
A．They asked their kids to come home．
B．They borrowed 20，000 from the school．
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part﹣time jobs．
D．They got help from the school and the federal government．
68．Financial aid administrators believe that　　．
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon D．America's unemployment will fall
69．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text？
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase．
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade．
C．They will try their best to send kids to college．
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25years．
70．According to the last paragraph，the government will　　．
A．provide most students will scholarships B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans D．go on providing financial support for college students．
71．D
Since the 1970s，scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers．Brain﹣computer interface （BCI） technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines．
Recently，two researchers，Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne，Switzerland，demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts．
In the laboratory，Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band．He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts．
"Our brain has billions of nerve ceils．These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move．But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles，"Tavella says．"Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices．"
The researchers designed a special cap for the user．This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp（头皮） and sends them to a computer．The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair．The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path．They help the computer react to commands from the brain．
Prof．Milan，the team leader，says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands．"The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories：communication，and controlling devices．One example is this wheelchair．"
He says his team has set two goals．One is testing with real patients，so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from．And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time．
71．BCI is a technology that can　　．
A．help to update computer systems B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover D．control a person's thoughts
72．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory？　　
A．By controlling his muscles．B．By talking to the machine．C．By moving his hand．D．By using his mind．
73．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5？　　
A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
74．The team will test with real patients to　　．
A．make profits from them B．prove the technology useful to them
C．make them live longer D．learn about their physical condition
75．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？　　
A．Switzerland，the BCI Research Center
B．New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C．BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disable
D．Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries．
　
第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分15分）第一节阅读表达（第76题2分，77、78、80题每题3分，第79题4分，满分l5分）
76．（15分）阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）．
[1]Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends？Do you frequently ignore work，study，and other activities to check your phone for messages？Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone？Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more，and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much？
[2]If　　，then it is very possible that you are a textaholic．A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages．The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages，which takes precedence （优先）over everything else，and bad moods，low spirits and a lack of self﹣confidence if messages fail to come in．The root of the problem，as with many addictions，is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress，anxiety and relationship problems．Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future，especially among the young．
[3]So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic？The key is to get your life back in balance．Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive，and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out．Most importantly，make a point of spending quality time with friends and family，and make time to re﹣learn the art of face﹣to﹣face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages．Not only will you save time and money，but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication．
76．How does the author introduce the topic of the text？（no more than 5words）
　　
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2with proper words．（no more than 8words）
　　
78．What emotional difficulties may be the causes of text addiction？（no more than 5words）　　
79．What do experts say about text addiction？（no more than 14words）　　
80．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？（no more than 8words）　　．

66．（10分）（2011•山东）C
Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21﹣year﹣old twin sons：a combination of savings，income，scholarships，and a modest amount of borrowing．Then her husband lost his job，and the plan fell apart．
"I have two kids in college，and I want to say'come home，'but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，"says Jacobs．
The Jacobs family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools，and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan （贷款） program．They will each graduate with $20，000 of debt，but at least they will be able to finish school．
With unemployment rising，financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs．
More students are applying for aid，and more families expect to need student loans．College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around．
At the same time，tuition （学费） continues to rise．A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007，while average family income rose just 147%．Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade．
"If we go on this way for another 25years，we won't have an affordable system of higher education，"says Patrick M．Callan，president of the center．"The middle class families have been financing it through debt．They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge amount of debt．"
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them．The good news，however，is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing，and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted．
66．According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail？
A．The twins wasted too much money
B．The father was out of work
C．Their saving ran out
D．The family fell apart
67．How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem？
A．They asked their kids to come home．
B．They borrowed 20，000 from the school．
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part﹣time jobs．
D．They got help from the school and the federal government．
68．Financial aid administrators believe that　A　．
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon D．America's unemployment will fall
69．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text？
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase．
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade．
C．They will try their best to send kids to college．
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25years．
70．According to the last paragraph，the government will　D　．
A．provide most students will scholarships B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans D．go on providing financial support for college students．
【分析】本文主要描述Jacobs家一对双胞胎儿子在上大学时遇到的经济困难．以此告诉人们，在失业率上升的同时，上大学的费用越来越高，贷款的学生也越来越多，以致许多公司不得不停止对学生放贷，但是承担大部分学生贷款的政府贷款资助不会中断．
【解答】66．答案：B．细节理解题．根据第一段最后一句话"Then her husband lost his job，and the plan fell apart．"可知，可以支付两个双胞胎儿子的大学费用的计划由于丈夫的失业瓦解了．故选 B．
67．答案：D．细节理解题．根据第三段第一句话中"They asked and received more aid from the schools，and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan program"可知，他们向学校索求更多的援助，每个儿子增加贷款到最大额度．故选 D．
68．答案：A．细节理解题．根据第四段前两句话中"…financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses． More students are applying for aid，and more families expect to need student loans．"可知，财政援助的管理员们预期会看到更多像Jacobs一家的情况，更多的学生申请援助，更多的交通希望学生贷款．故选A．
69．答案：C．推理判断题．根据第六段中的"They will send kids to college whatever it takes，even if that means a huge amount of debt．"可知，无论需要什么他们都会送孩子去上大学，即使那意味着大笔的债务．故选 C．
70．答案：D．推理判断题．根据第七段最后一句The good news，however，is that federal loans
account for about three quarters of student borrowing，and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted．可知，政府会继续提供不间断的资金支持．故选D．
　
71．（2011•山东）D
Since the 1970s，scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers．Brain﹣computer interface （BCI） technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines．
Recently，two researchers，Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne，Switzerland，demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts．
In the laboratory，Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band．He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts．
"Our brain has billions of nerve ceils．These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move．But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles，"Tavella says．"Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices．"
The researchers designed a special cap for the user．This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp（头皮） and sends them to a computer．The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair．The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path．They help the computer react to commands from the brain．
Prof．Milan，the team leader，says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands．"The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories：communication，and controlling devices．One example is this wheelchair．"
He says his team has set two goals．One is testing with real patients，so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from．And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time．
71．BCI is a technology that can　B　．
A．help to update computer systems B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover D．control a person's thoughts
72．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory？　D　
A．By controlling his muscles．B．By talking to the machine．C．By moving his hand．D．By using his mind．
73．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5？　C　
A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
74．The team will test with real patients to　B　．
A．make profits from them B．prove the technology useful to them
C．make them live longer D．learn about their physical condition
75．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？　C　
A．Switzerland，the BCI Research Center
B．New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C．BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disable
D．Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries．
【分析】本文是一则新闻报道，科学家寻找到了一种方法，把人脑与电脑连接起来，进而发明了Brain﹣computerinterface （BCI）技术的发明，最近科学家们研究出一种"脑控轮椅"．病人戴上特定的帽子就可以通过思考和想法操控轮椅．也许这是一项福音．文中介绍了它的原理和对残疾人带来的益处．

第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分15分）第一节阅读表达（第76题2分，77、78、80题每题3分，第79题4分，满分l5分）
76．（15分）（2011•山东）阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）．
[1]Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends？Do you frequently ignore work，study，and other activities to check your phone for messages？Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone？Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more，and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much？
[2]If　you answer"yes"to any of the questions　，then it is very possible that you are a textaholic．A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages．The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages，which takes precedence （优先）over everything else，and bad moods，low spirits and a lack of self﹣confidence if messages fail to come in．The root of the problem，as with many addictions，is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress，anxiety and relationship problems．Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future，especially among the young．
[3]So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic？The key is to get your life back in balance．Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive，and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out．Most importantly，make a point of spending quality time with friends and family，and make time to re﹣learn the art of face﹣to﹣face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages．Not only will you save time and money，but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication．
76．How does the author introduce the topic of the text？（no more than 5words）

77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2with proper words．（no more than 8words）
　you answer"yes"to any of the questions

80．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？（no more than 8words）　How to get rid of text addiction　．
【分析】本文讲述了生活中，人们都爱以发短信的方式来交流的现象．当然也在文末告诉我们要与朋友和家人一起共度美好时光，学会面对面交流，而不是通过短信来建立自我的人际关系．这样你才会发现真正的沟通乐趣．
【解答】76．答案：By asking/raising questions．仔细审题，此题目是问及作者组织文章的方式，即如何提出话题的．分析本文的文体是议论文，议论文的写作结构是"引出话题﹣陈述论点﹣论证论点﹣小结论点"，通过开头第一段可以看出引出话题的方式是通过问问题．
77．答案：you answer"yes"to any of the questions．此题是补全题，考查上下文理解和补全的能力．通过上文看是提出一些假设的问题，所以空所在的这句是上下段的过渡句，因此应填答案．
78．答案：stress anxiety relationship problems．此题是细节理解题目，依据在第二段第二句话，另外要注意字数限制，因此也考查学生搜索信息和概括的能力．
79．答案：It may become the most common form of addiction，especially among the young．此题要求回答问题且有字数限制，原文提到"Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future，especially among the young．"而回答是要对这句话的信息进行同义的转换和重组，且在字数之内．
80．答案：How to get rid of text addiction．此题是主旨大意题目，通读第三段，从"Most importantly…but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication．"可知，作者在此段主要告诉了我们面对面交流的好处．可以更好的陪伴家人，可以节省时间和金钱，更重要的是可以找到沟通的真正乐趣．作者告诉读者这些好处也是为了通过面对面交流可以帮助读者摆脱短信成瘾．故此段可总结为"How to get rid of text addiction"
