12．Fantasies for young readers really began with the fairy tales of writers such as the Brothers Grimm．Of course，all the children who grow up reading these books and tales never，at heart，really grow up at all，for such wonderful stories are forever carved in their minds．And fairy tales are as much fun to read when we are fifty，only for memorable reasons，as they are when we are children．
But it's obvious these days that fantasies aren't only for the little ones．In 1977，23years after The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien was published，Terry Brooks published his first novel，The Sword of Shannara．It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on the New York Times Trade Paperback Bestseller List，where it remained for over five months．Following the release of Tolkien's work，earlier works of fantasy，like T．H．White's Once and Future King and Eric Eddison's The Mezentian Gate （in 1958）came out before The Sword of Shannara，but neither had an influence quite like The Sword of Shannara．Fantasies were truly reborn．
As the popularity of fantasies began to grow quickly，the film and television industry climbed aboard the bandwagon．During the eighties，the fantasy/adventure movie was born．Conan is a classic to the eighties．The lack of really good fantasy movies in the recent past can be blamed on substandard special effects．However，now，in an age of post-modern computer technology，the impossible is no longer a concern．Since the release and popularity of The Lord of the Rings，cinema screen production rights have been bought for scores of fantasy novels，from Terry Brooks to Robert Jordan．
The future of fantasies has never looked so assured．Even children's cinema has had its own successes through the big screen release of the Harry Potter series and the classic Peter Pan．While there remains a choice to go beyond the reality we know，there will always be fantasies．

65．What can we learn from the first paragraph？B
A．Children reading fairy tales never grow up．
B．Fantasies are attractive to persons of all ages．
C．Fantasies appear earlier than fairy tales．
D．The Brothers Grimm is famous for The Sword of Shannara．
66．Why were earlier fantasy movies less attractive to people？A
A．The special effects in the movies are not good enough．
B．They are not good stories．
C．The actors in the movies are poorly-skilled．
D．There are not big theaters for them．
67．What does the passage mainly talk about？C
A．Types of fantasies．
B．Famous fantasy works．
C．The development of fantasies．
D．The popularity of fantasies．

分析 本文講述了童話故事的發(fā)展，從故事到小說，再到如今的奇幻電影．

解答 65．B．段意理解題．由第一段all the children who grow up reading these books and tales never，at heart，really grow up at all和And fairy tales are as much fun to read when we are fifty，可知童話故事在我們是孩子的時候伴隨我們成長，并且就算我們五十歲的時候閱讀還是很有趣，可知它對所有年齡階層的人都很有吸引力，故選B．
66．A．細節(jié)理解題．由最后一段The lack of really good fantasy movies in the recent past can be blamed on substandard special effects，近年來缺乏真正優(yōu)秀的奇幻電影可以歸咎于不合格的特技效果．故選A．
67．C．主旨歸納題．由文章內(nèi)容可知，本文講述了童話故事的發(fā)展，從故事到小說，再到如今的奇幻電影，故選C．

2．
"Any apple today？"，Effie asked cheerfully at my window，．I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo．On credit，of course．Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just them．
All pretense （借口）of payment was drooped when our funds，food and fuel decreased to alarming lows．Effie came often，always bringing some gift：a jar of  peaches or some firewood．There were other generosities．A
Effie was not a rich woman．Her income，derived from investment she had made while running an interior decorating shop，had never exceeded﹩200 a month，which she supplemented by selling her apples．But she always managed to help someone poorer．
Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time．She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year．"Here，darling，"I said，"is what I owe you，"F"Give it back as I gave it to you-----a little at a time．""I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt．
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie，for she died a few weeks later．By now，the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times．But a curious thing began to happen．CAt that time，it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled．So the account can never be marked closed，for Effie's love will go on in hearts that have never known her．

3．1 If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands，you might have a hard time believing the news：e-mail is on the decline．
At first blush，that might seem to be the case．The incoming generation，after all，doesn't do e-mail．Oh，they might have an account．They use it only as we would a fax machine：as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites．They rarely check it，though．
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages-are more direct，more concentrated，more efficient．They go without the salutation（稱呼語）and the signoff；we already know the"to"and"from．"Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason：more signal，less noise and less time．This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated．Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later，I can now send you an unobtrusive，easily-consumed message that you can read-and respond to-on the go．
The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era．Instantaneous（及時）written messages are different．These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time：before a movie，in a taxi，waiting for lunch．And because these notes are invariably brief，they're a natural for smartphone typing．With these formats，you also have control over who can correspond with you，which you usually don't in e-mail．And especially on Facebook，instant messaging can take on the character of a chat room，where several people can talk at once．
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history？Not necessarily．E-mail still has certain advantages．Whereas tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them，then they're gone，into an endless string，e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file，search and return to later．It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications：agreements，important news，longer explanations．
So，e-mail won't go away completely．Remember，we've been through a transition like this not so long ago：when e-mail was on the rise，people said that postal mail was dead．That's not how it works．Postal mail found its smaller niche，and so will e-mail．Technology rarely replaces an institution completely； it just adds new avenues．
E-mail down，messaging up．Now go clean out your in-box．
 
62．What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts？C
A．Contact close friends
B．Send long messages
C．Fill in some forms
D．Communicate with their colleagues
63．Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that theyB．
A．illustrate the preferences of the young generation
B．explain the possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail
C．reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels
D．offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages
64．What does the underlined word"ephemeral"in paragraph 5 mean？D
A．Conveniently-sent          B．Randomly-written
C．Hardly readable               D．Short-lived
65．What does the author think of e-mail being replaced？A
A．Negative            B．Indifferent         C．Ambiguous        D．Doubtful．

Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty，a gift from the people France to celebrate the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence，stands upon Liberty Island and is one of the most famous symbols in the world．It represents a woman wearing a stole，a radiant crown and sandals，trampling a broken chain，carrying a torch her raised right hand and a tabula ansata tablet in her left hand．The construction of the statue was completed in France 1886until the jet age，it was often one of the first glimpses of the United States for millions of immigrants．

1．Your best friends may just be your worst enemies，especially when it comes to young women checking out images of their friends on social media sites．
This is according to a recent study carried out by researchers at the Center for Emotional Health at Macquarie University，Australia．The study found that young women are much more likely to be affected by images of their friends on social media than those of celebrities（名人）in traditional media．
A hundred and fifty female undergraduate students were questioned in five daily surveys over a five-day period．The students were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone else's，and whether they made that comparison after looking at social media，traditional media or in person．
Results showed that young women are more likely to compare their appearance with that of their peers'（同齡人的）images on social media than those of models'or movie stars'in traditional media．Most students thought others looked better than them on social media．This led some to diet and exercise，although the majority of those who did were not overweight and didn't need to do so．
The negative effect images of skinny models in mass media has on young women is a well-known source of concern throughout the world，but social media appear t make things worse．
Jasmine Fardouly，lead researcher in the study，explained why social media might be more damaging than traditional media．
"Celebrities may seem more distant and their appearance may have less influence than people you work with or see regularly，"she told The Guardian．
In Fardouly's opinion，people could unfollow or avoid those who post highly improved images of themselves．This may reduce how often people think others look more attractive than them on social media．
But more critical （批判的）thinking may also do the trick．"When surfing social media，it may be helpful for people to stop and think about the motivation behind each post and question how realistic each image is，"Fardouly wrote on news site The Conversation．

59．"Your best friends may just be your worst enemies"，becauseC．
A．your friends might hurt you badly when you become their enemy
B．you feel unhappy because your friends look more attractive than you in person
C．your friends beat you in appearance when you compare their images on social media
D．you disappoint your friends because you don't look better on social media than on traditional media
60．The reasons why more young women are dieting or exercising are as follows EXCEPT thatB
A the skinny models on TV have some influence on them
B．celebrities in traditional media have a far greater influence on them
C．they concern more about their images online with the widespread use of social media
D．they tend to compare and compete after they see their friends'images on social media
61．The underlined phrase"do the trick"in the last paragraph probably meansA
A．meet the desired result
B．make people feel worse
C．remind people of something
D．develop people's interest．
