　　I was in Sarasota,

　　Florida,

　　teaching a seminar when,

　　at the end of the day,

　　a lady came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son.

　　We walked out to the beach,

　　and I told her of my mom’s undying love and about the “To read when you’re alone” letters.

　　Several weeks later,

　　I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son.

　?。?］That night as I went to bed,

　　I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter.

　　In the midst of my turbulent teen years,

　　the letters were the calm assurance(保證) that I could be lovedin spite of me,

　　not because of me.

　　Just before I fell asleep I thanked God that my mom knew what I,

　　an angry teenager,

　　needed.

　　Today when the seas of life get stormy,

　　I know that just under my pillow there is that calm assurance

　　that love－consistent,

　　abiding (永久的),

　　unconditional love－changes lives.

S.

　　workers regularly attends after-work

　　drinks with co-workers,

　　where the

　　most common mishaps range from

　　bad-mouthing another worker to drinking too much,

　　according to a study released on Tuesday.

　　Most workers attend so-called happy hours to bond with colleagues,

　　although 15 percent go to hear the latest office gossip and 13 percent go because they feel necessary,

　　said the survey conducted for CareerBuilder. com,

　　an online job site.

　　As to what happens when the after-work drinks flow,

　　16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague,

　　10 percent shared a secret about a colleague and 8 percent said they drank too much and acted unprofessionally.

　　Five percent said they had shared a secret about the company,

　　and 4 percent confessed to singing karaoke.

　　While 21 percent of those who attended said happy hours were good for networking,

　　85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position.

　　An equal number of men and women said they attended happy hours with co-workers,

　　with younger workers aged 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least likely to attend.

　　Overall,

　　21 percent of workers attend happy hours with co-workers and of those nearly a quarter go at least once a month. The survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder. com among 6, 987 full-time employees between February 11 and March 13.

　　Harris Interactive said the results had a sampling error of plus or minus 1. 2 percentage points.

　　本文主要論述了美國(guó)工人下班后喝酒的時(shí)候干什么的問(wèn)題。 66. Harris Interactive made the survey to find out

　　______ .

　　A. how U. S.

　　workers spend their after-work time

　　B. what U. S.

　　workers do at after-work drinks C. the relationships between U. S. workers

　　D. who are most likely to attend after-work drinks 【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知美國(guó)工人下班后經(jīng)常聚會(huì)喝酒，而主要內(nèi)容不是說(shuō)別人壞話，就是飲酒過(guò)量。因此推斷，這項(xiàng)調(diào)查的目的是為了弄清楚工人下班后喝酒時(shí)干什么。 67. ______

　　of workers who attend after-work drinks speak ill of a colleague.

　　A. 4 percentB. 8 percent C. 16 percent　

　　D. 10 percent 【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague, ”可知。bad-mouth是“說(shuō)壞話”的意思。 68. According to the passage,

　　most of those surveyed believed attending after-work drinks

　　______ .

　　A. benefited them a lot B. could provide information C. only made them relaxed D. was of no help to them 【解析】選D。 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“. . . 85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position. ”可知85%的人認(rèn)為這種聚會(huì)沒(méi)什么好處。 69. We can learn from the text that ______

　　.

　　A. workers over 55 don’t like to attend happy hours at all B. about 75% of workers attend happy hours more than once a month C. 10. 5% of male workers attend happy hours with co-workers D. about 700 workers surveyed shared a secret about a co-worker 【解析】選D。 推理判斷題。第二段中“. . . workers over 55 least likely to attend”意思是55歲以上的工人很少去聚會(huì)喝酒，并不能說(shuō)明他們都不喜歡，排除A；“. . . nearly a quarter go at least once a month”近四分之一的人每周去一次并不意味著剩下的四分之三的人每周就去兩次以上，還有些人可能不會(huì)去，排除B；文章中沒(méi)有確切的信息說(shuō)明男工中有10. 5%的人參加聚會(huì)，排除C；根據(jù)第二段“10 percent shared a secret about a colleague”和第三段“. . . among 6, 987 full-time employees. . . ”可知D正確。 70. After the survey,

　　it can be inferred that ______

　　.

　　A. all the workers oppose after-work drinks B. the workers may change their attitudes towards after-work drinks C. all the workers support after-work drinks D. all the workers are suggested going to attend after-work drinks 【解析】選B。推理判斷題。綜合文章介紹的情況，85%的被調(diào)查者認(rèn)為下班后聚會(huì)喝酒并沒(méi)有帶來(lái)什么幫助，因此被調(diào)查者應(yīng)該會(huì)改變對(duì)這種聚會(huì)的態(tài)度。而A、C、D三項(xiàng)過(guò)于絕對(duì)化。 （D） When it comes to dieting,

　　most of us are willing to turn to a trick or two to help us control our appetite and eat less—drinking water to fill up when we’re hungry,

　　for example,

　　or choose artificial sweeteners instead of sugar to get the same satisfying sweetness without the offending calories.

　　But new research suggests that the body is not so easily fooled,

　　and that sugar substitutes are no key to weight loss.

　　In a series of experiments,

　　scientists at Purdue University compared weight gain and eating habits in rats whose diets were provided with sweetened food containing either zero-calorie saccharin(糖精)or sugar.

　　The report,

　　published in Behavioral Neuroscience,

　　presents some counter-intuitive(反直覺(jué)的)findings:

　　Animals fed with artificially sweetened yogurt over a two-week period consumed more calories and gained more weight—mostly in the form of fat—than animals eating yogurt containing glucose(葡萄糖),

　　a natural,

　　high-calorie sweetener.

　　It’s a continuation of work the Purdue group began in 2004,

　　when they reported that animals consuming saccharin-sweetened liquids and snacks tended to eat more than animals fed high-calorie,

　　sweetened foods.

　　The new study,

　　say the scientists,

　　offers stronger evidence that how we eat may depend on automatic,

　　conditioned responses to food.

　　So does that mean you should ditch the artificial sweeteners and welcome sugar back into your life?

　　Not exactly.

　　Extra sugar in the diet can lead to diabetes and heart disease,

　　even independent of its effect on weight.

　　But it’s worth remembering that when it comes to counting calories,

　　it’s not just the ones you eat that you have to worry about.

　　The calories you give up matter too and they may very well reappear in that extra helping of pasta or dessert that your body demands.

　　Your body may actually be keeping better count than you are.

　　文章主要介紹糖的代替品也能讓人變胖的問(wèn)題。 71. This text most probably appears in a magazine about ______

　　.

　　A. dieting　B. science C. animals

　　D. health 【解析】選D。推理判斷題。此題要從文章的整體去把握。整篇文章主要介紹糖的代替品也能讓人變胖的問(wèn)題，所以可推斷出這篇文章應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在關(guān)于“健康”的雜志上。 72. Which statement about the experiment is right?

　　A. Rats eating low-sugar food gained less weight.

　　B. Rats eating high-sugar food gained more weight.

　　C. Rats were given two different kinds of food respectively.

　　D. The experiment result was completely strange to the scientists.

　　【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知，在實(shí)驗(yàn)中老鼠分別被給予人工加糖的低糖酸乳和含葡萄糖的酸乳兩種食品。再根據(jù)第二段第三句可知被給予前一種食品的老鼠比被給予后一種食品的老鼠增加了更多的體重，即兩種老鼠的體重都增加了，故C項(xiàng)正確，A、B兩項(xiàng)均錯(cuò)誤；再根據(jù)第二段可知該實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果2004年的研究人員就提出來(lái)了，所以對(duì)現(xiàn)在的研究人員來(lái)說(shuō)并非是完全陌生的，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。 73. The underlined word “ditch” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______ ”.

　　A. abandon　B. accustom C. acceptD. relieve 【解析】選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。上文介紹了糖的代替品也能讓人變胖。根據(jù)上下文可知本句意為“那是不是就意味著在生活中你應(yīng)該放棄食用糖的代替品而重新青睞糖呢？”，所以，ditch此處應(yīng)意為“放棄”，故A正確。 74. What conclusion can we draw from the text?

　　A. Rats like both sugars and sugar substitutes.

　　B. Body can’t be controlled at random in food by man.

　　C. People should turn to sugar substitutes to lose weight.

　　D. Sugar substitutes and sugars have the same effect on people.

　　【解析】選B。推理判斷題。文章第二段敘述了食用兩種含糖食品的老鼠都增加了體重，并非證明老鼠喜歡含糖食品，故A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第二段最后一句及第三段最后兩句可知，人體對(duì)食物的需要及依賴是由人體本身自動(dòng)決定的，并非受人為控制，故B項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)文章可知不論是糖的代替品還是糖都能增加人的體重，但二者對(duì)人體的影響卻不盡相同，故C、D兩項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。 75. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Can sugar substitutes make you fat?

　　B. How can we lose weight easily?

　　C. Sugar substitutes and sugar,

　　which is better?

　　D. Why can’t man lose weight by adjusting the diet?

　　【解析】選A。主旨大意題。通讀全文，可知文章主要介紹糖的代替品是否也能讓人變胖的問(wèn)題。只有A項(xiàng)正確概括了本文主題。 第Ⅱ卷 Ⅴ. 書(shū)面表達(dá)(共1題，滿分35分) ［2010宿州高三檢測(cè)］ 現(xiàn)在各類電視節(jié)目廣泛使用短信作為參與方式，人們對(duì)此評(píng)價(jià)不一。請(qǐng)你根據(jù)下表提供的信息介紹人們的看法，并談?wù)剛€(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)。

　　short messages ________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【參考范文】 At present,

　　short messages are widely involved in various TV programs.

　　People react to them in different ways. Some hold the view that short messages offer the audience more chances to participate in the live programs.

　　In this way,

　　the mass media benefit a lot from them.

　　Moreover,

　　they appeal to the need of the young people,

　　so it is a most popular way for young people today. Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control,

　　we cannot ensure the taste of the program.

　　What’s more,

　　such kind of messages usually cost more than usual ones;

　　the expense may cause bad feelings among audience.

　　To make matters worse,

　　some adolescents are so addicted to them that too much time and energy are wasted. As far as I am concerned,

　　the short message is a typical thing of information technology,

　　but it is a powerful tool that needs to be used with care.

　　My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before.

　　I hit adolescence with a vengeance .

　　I was angry and rebellious,

　　with little regard for anything my parents had to say,

　　particularly if it had to do with me.

　　Like so many teenagers,

　　I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t agree with my picture of the world.

　　A “brilliant without need of guidance” kid,

　　I rejected any overt offering of love.

　　In fact,

　　I got angry at the mention of the word love.

　　［2］One night,

　　after a particularly difficult day, 　 I ______

　　,

　　shut the door and got into bed.

　　As I lay down in the privacy of my bed,

　　my hands slipped under my pillow.

　　There was an envelope.

　　I pulled it out and on the envelope it said,

　　“To read when you’re alone. ” ［3］Since I was alone,

　　no one would know whether I read it or not,

　　so I opened it.

　　It said “Mike,

　　I know life is hard right now. I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t do everything right.

　　I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that.
