Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome.
Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.
Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.
Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. “It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it，” a source told FOX411. “They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.”
People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye，” said a family member.
And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.
But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.
“If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place，” he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.
Also, Brown is “not brain dead，” as has been reported.
And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They “are NOT fighting，” says our source.
文章大意：本文主要講Kristina病危，幾家報(bào)社的報(bào)道都失真，一家人仍在祈禱出現(xiàn)奇跡。
1．According to Fox News, Bobbi Kristina is ________.
A．within an inch of life B．on the way to success
C．left aside by her family D．in a good state
答案： A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段可知選A。within an inch of life半死；on the way to success在成功的路上；left aside by her family被家人放在一邊；in a good state狀態(tài)良好。
2．Bobby Brown holds the opinion that ________.
A．they are busy issuing statements all day
B．the family is saying goodbye to Kristina
C．he is getting along well with the Houston family
D．most journalists are getting the wrong end of the stick.
答案：D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第七段But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.可知Bobby Brown認(rèn)為大部分記者報(bào)道失真。故選D。
3．Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. An Accident In The Bathtub
B. Kristina, We're Still Praying And Waiting On A Miracle
C. False Reports From Different News Media
D. Bobbi Kristina's Final Days

社會文化（閱讀理解）由 (2012浙江瑞安高三五月模擬)改編
When Chinese student Du Juan brought her American boyfriend home two years ago to use the toilet,her Japanese roommate became so upset that she shouted in English: “I hate you.”
Du,then 21 and an undergraduate at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts,was shocked.So was her boyfriend.
“Later I realized that she didn’t literally mean what she said and that she was not aware of the full meaning of the word ‘hate’in English,” said Du.“It was more a problem with translation,” she added.
Cultural differences can cause confusion about what words or even actions mean,an issue that has come to the forefront recently following the arrest of a Chinese doctoral degree student in New Jersey.
Zhai Tiantian,who studied at the Stevens Institute of Technology,has been accused of trying to set fire to a campus building and of making threats to a professor who gave him a low mark.No physical altercation took place but Zhai reportedly said something along the lines of “at worst,I will risk anything on the line.” The professor called the campus police.
According to the indictment sheet(起訴書),Zhai is facing the serious charge of making a terroristic threat.
For a few days,Chinese media mistranslated,or misunderstood the charges and reported that Zhai was being charged with terrorism.
Some language experts have speculated(推測)that the disagreement between Zhai and the professor can also be chalked up to cultural and linguistic differences.“What Chinese people regard as acceptable speeches may be regarded by Americans as threats,” said Luo Gang,the Chinese Consulate’s Overseas Chinese Affairs consul.“This is an unfortunate incident.Even though Zhai intended no harm,he has done himself a great deal of harm.”
Du,now 23,said she supports Zhai’s actions in fighting to save his academic career,but added he needs to learn more about communication in a foreign language.
“Chinese students in a foreign country must prepare more in terms of languages and conversation skills to avoid misunderstandings,” she said.
1.What does the underlined word “altercation” mean?( )
A.fight B.check
C.education D.experiment
2.By saying “It was more a problem with translation”,what does Du Juan mean?( )
A.Translation was not the real problem,as Du Juan and her roommate can both speak English.
B.Du Juan can not understand what her roommate meant at all.
C.Her roommate didn’t know what “hate”really means in daily conversation.
D.Her roommate spoke such poor English that she felt angry.
3.Which of the following statements about Zhai Tiantian is true?( )
A.He set fire to a campus building.
B.He argued with a professor because he received a low mark.
C.He has received a doctor’s degree at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
D.He is facing a serious charge because he murdered the professor.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?( )
A.Du Juan’s unpleasant experience abroad.
B.Confusion caused by translation.
C.Conversational skills in a foreign country.
D.Cultural differences between China and America.
語篇解讀:文化差異會給身在國外的中國人帶來很多不便,甚至麻煩和危險(xiǎn),所以出國求學(xué)的中國學(xué)生在出國前一定要多了解一下中外之間的文化差異。
答案及剖析:1.A 詞義猜測題。由第五段的描述可知,翟田田雖然沒有和老師發(fā)生身體的沖突,但是他說了老師認(rèn)為具有威脅性的話,故A項(xiàng)正確。
2.C 句意猜測題。由第三段的...she didn’t literally mean what she said and that she was not aware of the full meaning of the word ‘hate’in English可知,那位日本姑娘沒有意識到hate在英語中的真正含義,故選C項(xiàng)。
3.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段的...making threats to a professor who gave him a low mark可知B項(xiàng)正確。由第五段的...trying to set fire to a campus building可排除A項(xiàng);由第五段的...who studied at the Stevens Institute of Technology可排除C項(xiàng);由第五段的No physical altercation took place...可排除D項(xiàng)。
4.B 主旨大意題。全文用幾個(gè)例子表明了由于文化差異而導(dǎo)致的語言翻譯的混亂和麻煩,故選B項(xiàng)。
【疑難詞匯解讀】
1.undergraduate n.(未獲學(xué)士學(xué)位的)大學(xué)生
adj.大學(xué)生(身份)的
Most of them are still undergraduate students.
他們大多還是在讀的大學(xué)生。
2.terroristic adj.恐怖主義的,暴力主義的
Subway is faced with the terroristic threat of various forms.
地鐵面臨著多種形式的恐怖威脅。

Nearly 28% of college Students plan to seek employment using Linkedin, up from 5% last year, according to a survey out today from employee recognition provider i Love Rewards and career-services network Experience．Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook, up from 5%．
No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learn about job possibilities．Instead they're using digital tools to find their dream jobs, says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman．Companies need to know their online image, then update anything that is outdated, inaccurate or not inleractive（互動(dòng)的）．
'The recruited have now become the recruiters," Suleman says．"They are now going out and finding the companies they want to apply for．"
Students learn about employers by viewing their websites, reading Facehook and Twitter updates and perusing（精讀）Linkedln profiles．Another information source: Comments by past and current employees on job-oriented websites．
A strong digital presence is one way for employers to stand out as the search for the best and brightest gets competitive．
Slightly more than four in 10 employers say they will use "different" recruiting tactics（策略）to reach Generation Y, according to a survey by job-search site Monster．com to be released today．Of those respondents, almost 60% say social-networking sites are popular tools to reach Gen Y candidates．
"Our reason for using social media is because that's where we think the candidates are," he says．
The company posts updates and videos on topics such as job opportunities and the benefits of being an employee．It also created a mobile-friendly site for those who want to apply via smart phone．
"Younger people want to attach to you in a different way than the past," Lavery says．"They want to interact with you．They want to learn about you．"
The updated recruitment techniques take effort, but they work, he says．
In 2010, UPS used those tactics to recruit 955 employees．The year before, it hired 29 employees through those means．
"It's a time investment（投資）that you have to be willing to do," he says．"You can't just have a page up there and not have content．In social media, you have to have a give and a take, or people won't be a part of your community．"
63．In order to find their dream jobs, more American graduates like to use ____．
A．newspapers B．magazines C．the Internet D．radios
64．Why do many companies use social-networking sites to recruit graduates?

A．fire B．a(chǎn)ttract C．contact D．employ

Smoking is the worst thing you can do for your health. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get the benefits of quitting. If you’ve tried to quit before and failed, it’s time to make up your mind and try again.
Smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths. That includes 29% of all cancer deaths, 87% of all lung cancer deaths, and nearly 20% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease. But long before smoking kills you, it ages you. You can see that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin. But there are fewer obvious effects as well. Indeed, smoking takes years away from your life. Nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time.
Besides an early death from cancer or heart disease, smoking can cause lung disorders. People who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia (肺炎) than that of non-smokers. By lowering levels of estrogen (雌性激素) in men and women, smoking speeds bone less. If a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day, she will enter menopause (更年期) with 5% to 10% less bone mass than a non-smoker.
The good news is that no matter what your age is or how long you’ve smoked, you’ll live longer if you quit today. The Coronary Artery Surgery Study examined nearly 2,000 long-term smokers over the age of 54. Those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didn’t. Even the oldest ex-smokers had a higher survival rate.
Not only will you live longer if you quit, but you’ll feel better, breathe easier, and find that you have more energy. You’ll have fewer respiratory infections, headaches, and stomachaches. What’s more, you’ll save money. Your clothes and breath won’t smell unpleasant any longer. And your habit won’t annoy, or threaten the health of the people who live and work with you.
33．According to the passage, the percentage of deaths due to smoking is ________.
A．20% B．25% C．29% D．87%
34．All of the following methods are used in the passage EXCEPT ________.
A．giving examples B．mentioning famous sayings
C．comparing D．listing numbers
35．What do we know from the Coronary Artery Surgery Study?
A．It examined about 2,000 smokers who all quit smoking finally.
B．Quitting smoking is easier said than done.
C．long-term smokers who quit smoking can live longer.
D．Quitting smoking has a bad effect on people’s health.

Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.
Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.
Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game .Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
Everyone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who t won the game for his team.
That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

D. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted

本篇文章是一篇關(guān)于愛的教育的故事。一位父親鼓勵(lì)幫助自己心智和身體殘疾的兒子，和正常人一樣參與棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)，并且得到同伴的認(rèn)可。文章富有教育意義。
1. 細(xì)節(jié)題。 根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到文章第一段，but處出題，最后一句”it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence”得出答案D為正確選項(xiàng)。
2.細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在原文第五段surprisingly處，顯示了一種轉(zhuǎn)折。在上一段講了Shay的團(tuán)隊(duì)贏分了，在上文even though點(diǎn)出盡管他沒有一個(gè)球是他進(jìn)的，但他仍然感到很喜悅。在第五段文章說他被伙伴們同意進(jìn)入了最后一局。可見答案B是正確的，所有人都希望能夠幫助他成功。
3. 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干將關(guān)鍵詞定位到第七段”the smallest guy on their team”，這是個(gè)長難句，who引導(dǎo)了一個(gè)非限制性定語從句，他本可以成為比賽最后的hero,可but 點(diǎn)出了轉(zhuǎn)折，他明白pitcher的意圖并且?guī)椭薙hay的成功?？梢姶鸢窤正確。
4.推斷題。題干問下面哪一項(xiàng)是和Shay的成功無關(guān)的。文章第八段最后說眾人喊道: “Shay, run home”,當(dāng)他run home之后，我們看到結(jié)果是他成功了，他成為了Hero，可見沒有任何人在這個(gè)時(shí)候阻止了他。可見C選項(xiàng)是與他的成功無關(guān)的，為正確選項(xiàng)。
5. 主旨大意題。文章處處滲透了球隊(duì)人與人之間的相互尊重，因此A選項(xiàng)包容性最大， B,C,D都是很片面的。
寫人記事（閱讀理解）由 (2013浙江寧波高三上期末)改編
I was a fat kid who grew into an overweight adult.I was constantly laughed at for being heavier than the other kids,leaving me feeling shy.I tried several diets,but none worked,and I ended up gaining weight.Another factor contributing to my weight gain was my love for cooking,especially rich,high-fat desserts,which I enjoyed preparing and,of course,eating.
When I finished high school at the age of 18,I weighed 215 pounds.Lacking the self-confidence to go to a new,faraway school,I decided to stay close to home instead of going away to college.I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on,but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes.
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds.I caught my reflection in a mirror and the truth hit me: I was overweight and unhealthy,and unless I did something about it now,I would only get bigger and unhappier.
After leaving the party,I thought about my past weight-loss efforts and realized they didn’t work because they required me to give up foods I loved.Then I would constantly think about food and binge,abandoning the diet altogether.If I took a common-sense approach and ate smaller portions of all foods,I would be able to satisfy my hunger and not feel deprived.
My biggest challenge was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle.At first,I tried to stay away from the kitchen to prevent myself from thinking about food.The result: Food was all I thought about.There had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating.I found the solution after reading several low-fat cookbooks.With some trial and error,I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat,yet delicious.
The pounds started coming off,and when I started exercising(usually cardio and weight training five times a week),they seemed to melt away.I didn’t feel deprived,and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it deserved.
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years.I had many ups and downs,but I was determined to go on.Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits.Instead,I vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.
Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I am in line with my body and myself.My dream is to help others realize the ease and benefits of low-fat cooking and eating.I’ve created and published a book of low-fat recipes(食譜) and run workshops and seminars(研討會) on healthful eating.Now that I know what I can achieve when I set my mind to it,my dreams are no longer out of reach.I have finally found myself.
1.What factor contributed to the author’s failure in losing her weight at first?( )

A.you will live a healthy life if you cook yourself every day

D.being overweight can not only be bad for your health but also bring you much trouble in your life
語篇解讀:一個(gè)偶然的機(jī)會使一個(gè)因?yàn)殡S心所欲進(jìn)食而導(dǎo)致體重嚴(yán)重超重的女孩改變了飲食的態(tài)度和方法,通過不懈的努力終于減肥成功。
答案及剖析:1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的...my weight gain was my love for cooking,especially rich,high-fat desserts,which I enjoyed preparing and,of course,eating可知,作者體重增加的原因是酷愛烹飪和吃高脂肪的甜點(diǎn)導(dǎo)致的,故選C項(xiàng)。
2.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的...as the weight came on,but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes可知,隨著作者體重的增加,她唯一能做的事情就是買更大號的衣服,故選C項(xiàng)。其他三項(xiàng)均不符合文章的內(nèi)容。
3.A 主旨大意題。作者通過自己辛苦減肥的經(jīng)歷,告訴大家健康飲食的重要性。最后一段的My dream is to help others realize the ease and benefits of low-fat cooking and eating表達(dá)了作者的愿望,故選A項(xiàng)。
4.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。前兩段提到作者雖然很胖,但一點(diǎn)也不注意飲食,在第三段提到參加朋友的新年聚會時(shí)看到鏡子里肥胖且不健康的自己,猛然驚醒,故選D項(xiàng)。由第二段的Lacking the self-confidence to go to a new,faraway school,I decided to stay close to home instead of going away to college可排除A項(xiàng);由第三段的My turning point came 10 years later at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party...可排除B項(xiàng);由最后一段的前兩句話可排除C項(xiàng)。
5.D 推理判斷題。由全文內(nèi)容可知,作者一開始由于肥胖而遭到別人嘲笑,因此變得不自信,而且也嚴(yán)重影響了身體健康,故選D項(xiàng)。
【疑難詞匯解讀】

Psychology(心理學(xué)) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy（療法） seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.
??? ?The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the “whole” patient.
??? ?The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（腫瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.
??? ?Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease.
??? ?Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance（催眠狀態(tài)）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment.
