Lesson1:A mother’s love (A)
I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle.（56）Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. （57）I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地點) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next,（60）I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, （58）roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.
全文譯文：突然，我聽到大象正在哭泣，仿佛他害怕。我向下看，立即認識到大象出了什么問題，然后我跑到岸邊。在那里，我看見Ma Shwe和她3個月大的小象（孩子）在快速上升的水里掙扎，并且是一個生死攸關(guān)的掙扎。56.小象浮了起來，恐懼地尖叫。Ma Shwe盡可能地靠近遠處的岸邊，用自己的身體對抗洶涌的水流，并且用她那碩大的身軀抵住小象。不時，那洶涌的水流想把小象沖走。
有一個水流突然上升，在母親的背上，小象被沖洗干凈，然后就不見了。Ma Shwe迅速轉(zhuǎn)向去追趕小象，并用她的頭和象鼻壓著小象頂著巖石般的堤岸。然后通過很大的努力，她把小象卷起來放在她的象鼻里，并一直嘗試直到她能把小象放置在狹窄的巖架。
就在這一刻，她掉回河里。如果她被沖到，她必死無疑。（57）我知道有一個地點，在哪里她可以上岸，她也是那么做的，但那個地方在和的另一邊，這個地方，是她領(lǐng)小象下水的地方。
雖然我不知道我下一步要做什么，（60）我聽到了母愛的聲音。Ma Shwe已過河，并上了岸，她以近可能快的速度正趕往回來的路上，（58）一直在咆哮（吼叫），但對于她的小象來說這就是音樂。

2009年廣東高考（A）考點分布與第一篇一致（類似考研2000-1）
Lisa was running late. Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform，（41）Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away，F(xiàn)rank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
（44）It was hard to lift her. She was just out. （43）But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. （44）That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time. （42）“I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die，”she explained.
41. What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?（細節(jié)）
A. She had run a long way. B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a 1ot of work. D. She had donated blood the night before.
42. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend? （細節(jié)）
A. Because they would miss their train. B. Because he didn’t see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift. D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
43. How did Frank save Lisa? （細節(jié)）
A. By lifting her to the platform. B. By helping her rise to her feet.
C. By pulling her along the ground. D. By dragging her away from the edge.
44. When did Lisa become conscious again? （細節(jié)）
A. When the train was leaving. B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came. D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
45. The passage is intended to ______（主旨推理判斷）
A. warn us of the danger in the subway B. show us how to save people in the subway

Lesson2：A young programmer(B)
Computer programmer David Jones earns ￥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where （60）the problem of most young （people of his age） is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.
（61）But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押貸款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “（62）I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. （63）I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”

（61）但大衛(wèi)的最頭痛的是如何處理他的錢。即使他賺了很多，他不能駕駛汽車，銀行做按揭（抵押貸款），或獲得信用卡。就在大衛(wèi)離開學校一年之后，帶著他的六個O-levels 學歷證書，在電腦商店干了一段時間后，大衛(wèi)在4個月前獲得了一份工作，公司地址設(shè)在利物浦。“（62）我得到這份工作，因為經(jīng)營該公司的人知道我已經(jīng)寫了一些程序，”他說。大衛(wèi)花了一些錢在記錄和衣服上，并給他的母親50磅一個星期。但他大部分的空余時間都花在工作。
“不幸的是，在學校，計算并不是我們研究的一部分，”他說。 “但在我的業(yè)余時間，我一直通過書本和雜志研究了計算機4年。（63）我知道我想做的事，并且從不考慮要繼續(xù)留在學校上。無論如何生意場上的大部分人相當年輕。“大衛(wèi)說：”我想掙100萬元，我想提前退休（退休）是可能的。你永遠不知道市場什么時候會消失。“

Lesson3:Risky foreign pets(C)
（64）（66）We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.（65）“I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call.（在酒店是叫醒服務） （66）Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
譯文：（64）我們已經(jīng)遇到了敵人，并且他是我們的敵人。我們從寵物商店買了他。當猴痘，這個在非洲雨淋里流行的疾病，突然在美國的中西部地區(qū)的孩子們中間出現(xiàn)的時候，人們很容易會猜想這種外國動物才會有的疾病，是否會蔓延于人類社會。我們認為人類感染的大部分感染時從動物開始的，Stephen Morse說，他是哥倫比亞大學公共健康中心的主任。
我們不僅去了那些動物生活的地方，而且我們還把他們帶到我們身邊。流行的國外寵物已經(jīng)把一些全新的疾病帶到這個國家。一種奇怪的疾病殺死了Isaksen的寵物，并且她現(xiàn)在認為，飼養(yǎng)外國寵物是一個壞主意。當我們對于這些寵物的了解如此有限的時候，我不認為把他們當成寵物是公平的”Isaksen說。
Peter Schantz 說，（67）法律允許從叢林深處引進這些動物，而不加以嚴加管控，這樣的法律需要人們?nèi)ジ淖兯?/strong>（66）猴痘可能就是一個明確的警告。研究人員認為，受感染的動物可能感染它們的主人。（67）我們對這些新的疾病了解的非常少。起初一種新的病毒可能是一種。但它可能發(fā)展成為有害的東西。猴天花看起來并不像大的傳染病。但它也不是不可能通過人的疾病傳染到其他人。

A. come from Columbia B. prevent us from being infected
C. enjoy being with children D. suffer from monkey-pox
65. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?（細節(jié)）

Lesson4:How to guide your Child(D)
It’s not easy being a teenager (13至19歲青少年) – nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. （71）It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. （69）If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解決) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隱私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
（68）（70）Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (節(jié)制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.
譯文：（68）做年輕人不容易，做年輕人的父母也不容易。你可以讓你的孩子感到憤怒，傷害，或你沒有意識到自己說的內(nèi)容所誤解。（71）重要的是要給孩子一些成長的空間，同時也要輕輕讓他們知道，當他們需要你時，你將永遠在他們身邊。
（68）期望你的孩子很多，但不是一切。除了健康和安全問題，如吸毒或不小心駕駛，考慮一切都可以坦誠交流。（69）如果你的孩子不愿意討論一些事，不要堅持讓他告訴你他的想法。你越堅持，他越有可能厭煩(拒絕開口)。相反，讓他嘗試由他自己去解決這些事情。同時，提醒他如果想要建議或者幫助的話，你總會給予他幫助的。要顯示對你的孩子的隱私表示尊重。從來不讀他的電子郵件或聽他的私人談話。
(68）教導你的孩子，（70)家庭電話是為整個家庭服務的。如果你的孩子在家里打電話占用過長的時間，告訴他只能打15分鐘，但是在打過電話至少15分鐘之后才能再打。這不僅節(jié)省了線路，使其他家庭成員可以撥打和接聽電話，而是還教導了孩子要節(jié)制。或者如果你的觀念比較開放，讓你的孩子擁有他自己的電話，用零花錢或者做兼職的錢來支付他的電話及費用。

Lesson6:Leftovers for breakfast(A)
I know what you’re thinking : pizza （比薩餅）? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to
I know lots of women who skip breakfast （不吃早餐） , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories （卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food .
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that （42）breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
譯文： 我知道你在想什么：比薩？早餐？但事實是，（41）你可以有昨晚的剩菜，如果你想 。
我知道許多不吃早餐的女人，并且他們有許多不同的借口。有些人說他們沒有時間。有些
認為他們是“節(jié)約”卡路里，還有一些人只是不喜歡吃早餐的食物。
但底線是，（44）在早上吃是很重要的當你試圖減肥。Katherine Brooking , R , D 說“吃含有300到400卡路里的任何東西比什么都不吃要好的多。Katherine為今年的挑戰(zhàn)自我開發(fā)出了超簡單的食譜。甚至是比薩餅如果它與蔬菜一起，披薩是健康的，并且你堅持一小塊。
早餐是我從來沒有錯過一餐，而且同樣幫我減肥成功。研究表明，吃早餐可防止你在當天晚些時候暴飲暴食。南加州大學的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，（42）不吃早餐的人的體重比每天早上都吃飯的人的體重增加的機會多的多。
（43）因此，在早上要吃點東西，任何東西。我知道很多朋友都結(jié)束了不吃早餐，他們喝咖啡或橙汁。我說，盡量加熱昨晚的剩菜，這聽起來瘋狂，但如果它適合你，做到這一點！我覺得如果我告訴自己，“你總是可以吃了明天，”我放好，而不是吃多了當晚的剩菜。試試吧...你可以節(jié)省自己一些前就寢卡路里。看著你的身體得到燃燒脂肪的作用

Lesson7:Housework (B)
Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. （45）“Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”
He points out that differences among households（家庭）exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said.
（48）Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. （46）Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. （47）Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours.
譯文：擁有一個丈夫?qū)ε藖碚f意味著每周要多做7小時的家務。對于男人來說，結(jié)了婚就可以每周少做1小時的教務。“這是一個眾所周知的模式，一個歇根大學社會研究所的首席研究人員Frank Stafford說，（45）“男人通常在外面工作的更多，而女人就要承擔更多的家務了。”
他指出，家庭之間存在分歧。但總的來說，婚姻意味著更多的家務歸婦女，男人做家務比較少。 當家里有了小孩的時候，對于婦女來說，情況就更糟糕了，Stafford說道。
總體而言，（48）在美國家庭里，做家務的情況在不斷變化。 1976年，女士們每周花26小時打掃家務，而相比之下，2005年的時候僅僅為每周17小時。（46）男人們現(xiàn)在負擔起了更多的家務活兒，2005年每周13小時的干家務活時間是1976年的6小時的兩倍還要多。
20多歲和30歲歲的的單身女性做的家務活最少，每周約12小時，而已婚婦女在60歲到70多歲做的最多，大約21小時。
男性的情況則有所不同，年齡較大的男子拿起掃帚往往比年輕男子多。（47）單身男性在家里干活最賣力，超過所有其他年齡的已婚男性群體。
女人有了孩子做家務更多。例如，至少帶3個孩子的妻子們，她們承擔起更多的額外工作，每周大約28小時的干家務的時間，丈夫則僅有10小時。
