　　Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent，stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.
　　The 57­year­old，father­of­three，revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.
　　“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone，” the self­made billionaire explained.
　　He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining，“All the other kids have one.I’m the only one without one.It’s so embarrassing.”
　　Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts，Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer,16，who he describes as “independent”.He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now”.
　　Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates，who live in Lake Medina，have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.
　　It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.
　　And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intends to give most of his $61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down.“That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society，” he said.
　　Also during the Today interview with host Matt Lauer，Mr Gates，who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy，said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.
　　“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved.If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it—it lets them get their work done in better ways—that’s exciting，” he explained.
　　1.Bill Gates will not let his children own a cell phone________.
　　A.until they reach the age of 13
　　B.if they don’t really need one
　　C.unless they do some housework
　　D.before they become independent
　　2.Which of the following is true about Bill Gates’ children?
　　A.All his children now have cell phones.
　　B.Phoebe has her own cell phone.
　　C.They are not given any pocket money.
　　D.Jennifer can use the Internet freely.
　　3.What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the text?
　　A.Being a parent as a billionaire.
　　B.Handing all his money down to his children.
　　C.Allowing his children to have their phones.
　　D.Giving away all his money to good causes.
　　4.What can we learn about Bill Gates from the text?
　　A.He is a warm­hearted father to his children.
　　B.He has created a lot of software since 2008.
　　C.He now devotes himself to helping others
　　D.He cares more about money than anything else.
　　5.What is the text mainly about?
　　A.How Bill Gates made himself a billionaire.
　　B.How Bill Gates deals with his money.
　　C.How Bill Gates managed his business.
　　D.How Bill Gates brings up his children.

　　[1]They say that “seeing is believing”，but when it comes to TV commercials，it is not always the_case.
　　[2]The world’s leading mobile phone maker，Nokia，released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept 5.The smartphone was supposed to possess an advanced camera，which let customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos.To show how well these features work，the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side，with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone.However，several hours later，technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product，nor shot from someone riding a bicycle.Instead，someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera.
　　[3]The next day Nokia apologized，“In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of visual image stabilization，we produced a video that simulates (看起来像) what we will be able to deliver.”Indeed，what we have seen in ads is more or less a simulation—a practice called “advertising photography”.
　　[4]McDonald’s video in June explained the “art”.It showed how its burgers get dolled up (打扮起来) before going on camera.Like models preparing for a magazine cover shoot，burgers also get designed in a photography studio.They are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best before photo shoots.Each ingredient，such as onions and sauce，is carefully put into place to make the burger look much juicier，bigger and tastier.Computer software Photoshop is also used to add visual effects.
　　[5]So don’t feel______________when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.
　　1.What do the underlined words “the case” in Paragraph 1 refer to?(no more than 3 words)
　　________________________________________________________________________
　　2.For what purpose did Nokia create the video?(no more than 10 words)
　　________________________________________________________________________
　　3.Why does the author give the example of McDonald’s video in Paragraph 4?(no more than 8 words)
　　________________________________________________________________________
　　4.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.(no more than 2 words)
　　________________________________________________________________________
　　5.How does the author state his point in the text?(no more than 5 words)

答案及解析

　　一.单项填空
　　1.解析：　考查交际用语。“with pleasure”是在别人请求时，表示欣然接受的客套话，符合语境。
　　答案：　A
　　2.解析：　考查冠词。句意为：——2012年北京的第一场雪是在11月下的。——噢，对于我们来说，它是一件令人惊讶的事情。第一空由后面的2012修饰，表特指，用定冠词the;第二空后的surprise是抽象名词具体化，表示“一件令人惊讶的事”，是泛指，用不定冠词a。
　　答案：　B
　　3.解析：　考查介词短语。句意为：他们基本上同意这个计划，但有些细节他们并不喜欢。in principle大体上，基本上，符合句意。in details详细地;in order就序，妥当;in place准备就绪。
　　答案：　D
　　4.解析：　考查动词短语辨析。句意为：当一辆卡车撞向这个装满油的油罐车时，这辆油罐车爆炸了，冒出了滚滚浓烟和火焰。blow up炸毁，爆炸，符合句意。
　　答案：　A
　　5.解析：　考查定语从句。语意表示你肯定有过你被误认为是你姐姐的情况。where you were taken for your sister是定语从句，修饰先行词the case，表示的是抽象地点，where可用in which替换。
　　答案：　C
　　6.解析：　考查非谓语动词。句意为：随着劳动力的减少，留在家里的老龄农民只能选择种植那些不需要太多劳动力的庄稼。leave与farmers是逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用left作后置定语。
　　答案：　C
　　7.解析：　考查情态动词。句意为：——这封信是你母亲写来的吧?——是的。但这封信不可能是她自己写的，因为她一个字也不认识。根据because引导的原因状语从句可知，此处应用can’t have done表示对过去发生的事很有把握的否定推测。
　　答案：　B
　　8.解析：　句意为：因为完全专注于在家照看三个孩子，她不再有时间到俱乐部去尽享各种各样的活动。be devoted to专注于，此处为过去分词短语在句中作状语;attach to附属于，依恋于;occupy oneself in忙于;contribute to有助于，为……做贡献。
　　答案：　D
　　9.解析：　考查动词的时态。根据问话人的问话内容可知，一些学生正在举行聚会，因此使用现在进行时。
　　答案：　B
　　10.解析：　考查定语从句。句意为：我认为会受到严厉惩罚的那位官员反而加薪了。分析句子结构可知“________I thought would be seriously punished”为定语从句，先行词为The official，在从句中作主语，故用who。
　　答案：　C
　　11.解析：　考查时态和倒装。句意为：只有当你毕业时，你才会发现你多么喜爱学校。当only修饰状语从句，而且置于句首时，主句构成部分倒装，要把相应的系动词、助动词或情态动词前置到主句的主语之前。再结合时态可知，此处B项正确。
　　答案：　B
　　12.解析：　当先行词为stage，position等词时，定语从句常用where或in which引导。
　　答案：　A
　　13.解析：　考查名词词义辨析。句意为：新政府做出承诺他们将一定提高人们的生活质量。quality质量;品质，符合句意。outline要点;大纲;轮廓;insurance保险;attitude态度，看法。
　　答案：　B
　　14.解析：　考查动词短语辨析。句意为：我认为我们应该树立一个良好的心态去面对失败，试着用平静和冷静的态度去解决它们。set up树立，符合句意。send up发射;give up放弃;put up张贴。
　　答案：　C
　　15.解析：　考查非谓语动词。句意为：那种材料所剩不多，他们决定开会讨论做什么。分析句意和句子结构可知，第一空用现在分词having作原因状语或用with复合结构，但第二空处暗含将来意味，表示“能用这不多的材料做什么”，故用“疑问词+to do”作宾语，故答案为C。
　　答案：　C
　　二.阅读理解
　　语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。微软公司的创始人比尔·盖茨认为：孩子只有到13岁以后才能使用手机。本文通过一些类似的例子说明了比尔·盖茨教育孩子的办法。
　　1.解析：　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，比尔·盖茨只允许年满13岁的孩子使用手机。
　　答案：　A
　　2.解析：　推理判断题。根据第五段内容可推断出，比尔·盖茨不对Jennifer的邮箱和Facebook账户设置密码，因为他认为年满16岁的Jennifer已经“独立”了，即她可以自由地使用网络。
　　答案：　D
　　3.解析：　指代判断题。画线词所在句子意为：那对我的孩子和整个社会都不好。由于that指代上文中提到过的事，所以根据上一句“在2010年盖茨先生说他打算把他610亿美元的财产大部分都捐出去而不是留给自己的孩子”可知，此处that指把自己的财产留给孩子。
　　答案：　B
　　4.解析：　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Mr Gates，who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy(慈善事业)”可知，比尔·盖茨现在专心于慈善事业，即帮助别人。
　　答案：　C
　　5.解析：　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过介绍比尔·盖茨给孩子配手机时有年龄限制让孩子做家务，和他不准备把所有财产都留给孩子的例子，说明了盖茨先生想让自己的孩子像普通家庭的孩子一样成长，这些都是比尔·盖茨教育孩子的方法。
　　答案：　D
　　三.阅读表达
