I grew up in a middle-class family. Dad worked hard to support our family and Mom tried to save money while making sure we had enough food to eat and clothes to wear. One of their greatest desires was to raise decent, loving children who had an opportunity to finish college
My brother, Gene. never hesitated to learn new things. He had an artistic hand, so he went into fine arts for a while. He also did a lot of screens about computers. He became so good at it that the school hired him to teach there after he completed his studies. My younger brother also pursued computers, following in his footsteps.
Gene did not have a history of any health problems from his very young age to adulthood. One day. he came home from teaching, ate his dinner and went to bed. That evening，my“healthy”brother died suddenly of a cardiac arrest（心跳骤停）．My parents were extremely sad.
At the viewing in the funeral house, amidst the sadness, my parents felt so much pride. So many people came and each was relating a story of how they were touched by Gene
A cleaner came to say that practically every day Gene brought him a sandwich. Finally, Mom found out why Gene had taken so many sandwiches to school! Then there was a man who came in bringing money, saying that Gene had lent him some when he was down and out. Gene had never asked him for the money back.
From the school president to the guard. people came. And because of his good heart and deeds, my younger brother was awarded a full scholarship in the school as a tribute to my dead brother.

Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers, telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.
Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands-free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18, which will take effect on Tuesday, though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞) that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging. Some were doubtful about lawmakers, who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nations most populous state and said hands-free conversations were not safer.
KFI-AM radio talk-show host John Kobylt told Reuters. “It's stupid because we’ve one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it s the conversation that distracts you, not holding the phone.”
State Senator Joe Simitian, who introduced the bill, said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer. He expected his law to save hundreds of lives. The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car. which he said wasn’t an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001.
Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand-held cell phones. In New Jersey, police have issued 35.000 tickets for using a hand-held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.
But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence."On the one hand I don’t want to see people crash into each other, but I'm not going to get an ear thing.” 38-year-old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.
8. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that______.
A. most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the car
B. public transportation in California isn’t developed enough
C. in New Jersey few people use a hand-held phone
D. most of Californians are probably against the new law
9. According to John Kobylt，_________.
A. all the lawmakers are stupid
B. holding the phone is safer than using an earphone
C. it isn’t dangerous to make a phone call while drivin
D. it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous
10. What will State Senator Joe Simitian probably do in the future
A. He will sup suggest a law to forbid text messaging while riving
B. He will conduct a new survey among Californians
C. He will suggest building more roads in California
D. He will suggest a law to completely ban cell phones while driving.
11. The underlined word "ambivalence" in the last paragraph probably refers to______.
A. a positive attitude B. a negative attitude
C. a confused feeling D. an excited feeling

本文是一简新闻报道。加利福尼亚州提出一项新法规：开车时通话只能用耳机，对此民众反应不一。反对者认为，这项法规有漏洞，且戴耳机通话并不能从根本上避免车祸。

In his 1930 essay "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren". John Keynes. a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: needs, which are independent of what others have, and needs. which make us feel superior to our fellows．He thought that although needs may indeed be insatiable（无法满足的), this is not true of needs。
Keynes was surely correct that only a small Part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. Priced at over ＄ 120,000. it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2001. the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however. they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
12. According to the passage, John Keynes believed that______.
A. desire is the root of both and needs
B. needs come from or sense of superiority
C. needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D. needs are stronger than needs
13. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
A. They want to show their superiority.
B. They find specialty important to meals
C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied
D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.
14. what does the underlined word" escalation" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Understanding. B. Increase
C. Difference. D. Study
15. The author of the passage argues that______.
A. needs have no limits
B. demands for quality are not insatiable
C. human desires influence ideas of quality
D. needs decide most of our spending

本文是一篇议论文。它从英国著名经济学家约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯的一篇文章《我们后代的经济前景》入手，辩证地指出了他在文中提出的关于消费需求的正确的和错误的论点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的although needs may indeed be insatiable（无法满足的),this is not true of needs可知John Keynes认为相对的需求可能会导致无止境的需求。故选C项。注意这个题考的不是作者的观点，而是凯恩斯的观点。在约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯看来，人类对于奢华生活的相对需求才是造成过度消费的罪魁祸首。这也是作者极力批驳他的地方。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality以及下面列举的例子可知答案为D项。夫妻的周年庆，的确是两人婚姻里值得庆祝的事情。两人在这天选择用餐可能是与平时不同，因为具有纪念意义。但the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them，想借此感受优越奢华生活的念头可能从来没有过。所以相对需求还是和平时生活质量有关。B选项仅停留于表面，非解释作者论证意图而得出的论点结论。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段后面举的事例可知人们对质量的要求的增长没有明显的限制。故选B项。escalation的意思是“扩大；增加”文章中表示“对生活质量需求的增加”。
【15题详解】
作者意图题。相据文章第一段最后一句中的although needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的)，this is not true of needs,第二段中的He was greatly mistaken以及文章中的其他内容可知作者对“绝对的需求是没有限制的”提出了质疑。故选 A 项。按凯恩斯的观点，人类需求分为“绝对需求”和“相对需求”。从文章第一段可知He thought that although needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的)，this is not true of absolute needs. "(词组 be not true of…对……不适用，不符合……)凯恩斯认为相对需求是无止境的。作者所做的就是辩驳他的论点，应是绝对需求无限，相对需求则和生活质量有关，是可控的、有条件性的和有限的，故选 A。
New research helps to explain why screaming is disturbing and useful.
Screams, like those we hear in horror movies, have a special quality that separates them from other noises we make and hear. These screams are recognized by people all over the world.
___16___"Every kid in every culture screams. Every adult in the context of a true fear responds with screams. So it's just a feature of the human mind and brain．”
David Poeppel is a neuroscientist at New York University. He wondered why screams were recognized the same way by people all around the world. So, he and his colleagues set up an experiment.
They recorded screams from movies and from volunteers who took part in the research.___17___Instead, they measured how quickly the sounds in the scream changed in volume. It was in this area-the change in volume that screams stand apart from other sounds.
When the volume of a sound changes that quickly it has a quality called roughness. "___18___David Poeppel and his team found that car alarms, sirens, and alarm clocks also have this quality, this roughness.”
The scientists then studied how this "roughness" changed brain activity. They asked the volunteers to listen to different types of screams and alarms in an MRI scanner, The researchers found that the greater "roughness" of a sound. the more it activates the amygdala.
___19___“The amygdala acts like a gauge that says ‘wow, this sound has a lot of roughness in it; that’s particularly alarming and scary. ’"
Screams, it turns out, are a direct link to the part of our brain that tells us whether we should be afraid or not. ___20___
Now, we know why a scream.. gets so much attention, So quickly.
A. People who hear these rough sounds are also more likely to react to them very quickly.
B. People of all cultures and languages hear the same thing in a scream: fear.
C. A scream is to say ‘I’m in trouble and I need help.’
D. The amygdala is an area deep in the brain that answers to fear.
E. The more roughness a sound has, the more worrying it is
F. Screams played a very important evolutionary role in our survival
G. The scientists, however, did not measure the screams for loudness or pitch

知识点：短文改错
时态用法错误。根据时间状语several years ago可知，用一般过去时。句意：几年前，毛朝牧从高中辍学。故将drop改为dropped。
名词用法错误。因为one of后用名词复数形式。句意：现在，这位自学英语的人已经被中国最好的外国语学院录取。故将university改为universities。
定语从句关系词用法错误。句中先行词Sichuan International Studies University，在定语从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where。句意：在四川外语学院，他过去常常送食物给学生。故将that改为where。
动词用法错误。这里考查短语work as任…职，当…。句意：毛曾经做过餐馆的快递员。故在worked后加as。
词性用法错误。动词chatted后用副词修饰。句意：在他空余时间，他愉快地跟在线英语学习者交谈。故将happy改为happily。
人称代词用法错误。根据主语he可知，这里用his。句意：在他空余时间，他愉快地跟在线英语学习者交谈。故将her改为his。
形容词用法错误。因为grammatical mistakes为可数名词，故前用many修饰。句意：虽然有很多语法错误，但并不阻止他交谈。故将much改为many。
非谓语动词用法错误。句中逻辑主语为he，与wait之间为主动关系，故用现在分词。句意：当等顾客的时候，他会记忆单词。故将wait改为waiting。
宾语从句关系词用法错误。根据句意可知，这里不需要how。句意：毛说，他希望成为一名翻译员。故将how去掉。
主谓一致错误。句中主语为Whoever，故谓语用单数。句意：有梦想并敢于追求梦想的人是最可爱的人。故将have改为has。
【名师点睛】
