If you are interested in studying at an American university，you have to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language.The test is widely known as the TOEFL.It is the most widely used language exam for American universities.
There are two major kinds of the TOEFL test.The first is the IBT，or Internet-based Test.It is offered in most of the world and accepted by nearly every university and scholarship program in the United States.The other kind of the test is called the Paper-based Test or PBT.The PBT is less costly to take and does not require use of the Internet.
But how to get started with TOEFL？Here are some tips.
Plan ahead—It takes a long time to improve your TOEFL score.Do not expect a big lift in your test results after two weeks.You will have to spend a lot of time and energy.
Master the basics first—You should have to be good at basic English before you take the test.If you score below 500 on the PBT or 70 on the IBT，study for a few months and come back to the TOEFL later.
Get a study guide—It is easy to find study guides for the IBT.Pearson，Barron’s，ETS，and Kaplan all produce quality materials.Take a practice test once or twice a month.The best study guides will have explanations in the answer key.
Use outside resources—Remember，you are learning a language，not a test.You can improve your TOEFL score by making English part of your daily life.Some simple ways are listening to English speakers，watching movies and reading newspapers.Some others are reading English textbooks，sending and reading text messages in English，and writing online in English.
The best way to do well on the TOEFL is to know English well.The real goal of the test is to measure how well a student can communicate in English-speaking classroom.

解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“There are two major kinds of the TOEFL test.The first is the IBT...The PBT is less costly to take and does not require use of the Internet.”可知，托?？荚嚪譃閮煞N，一種是網(wǎng)上考試，一種是紙質(zhì)考試，后者(PBT)不需要用到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，花費也(比前者)更低，由此可推斷前者(IBT)花費較高，需要用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。故選A。
23．The real purpose of the TOEFL is to ????????，according to the passage.
A．get more foreign students to study in American universities
B．let foreign students know more about American universities
C．measure one’s communicating ability in English
D．improve foreign students’?skills of taking tests

Japan’s youth are losing interest in science and as a result，threatening the nation’s industrial progress.According to Japan Science and Technology Agency，young Japanese are surrounded by high-tech devices(設(shè)備)，but are not interested in how they work.
Japanese businesses have succeeded partly because they’ve a great many engineers.A drop in interest could lead to a decline in their?numbers and quality.“In the past，the young had a big interest in science and technology，”?said Hirano，director of the agency’s policy department.
There are two main reasons for the problem.The first is known as “black box syndrome”?of modern technology.
Electronic devices depend on tiny silicon chips，which can only be made in big factories，whose workings can’t be seen by the eyes.The devices，unlike machines of the past driven by gears and wheels，are simply boxes.
Young Japanese，brought up on video games and at home with computers，enjoy using modern technology，but this is a passive interest and different from the curiosity about how things work.“You need an active interest to get interested in science.This is declining in the young，”?said Hirano.
About two-thirds of Japanese in their 20s use PCs，twice the number of those in their 50s.But only 40% of those in their 20s say they are interested in news about science and technology，compared to 60% of the 50 to 60 year olds.
“Another reason for it is that life in modern Japan is too comfortable，”he said，“A wealthy society reduces people’s desire to modernize and develop their country.To a degree，you can’t avoid this when the fruits of science and technology are fully developed.”?Similarly，science in Europe and the US has also suffered a lack of interest.
25．Japanese youth’s interest in science is dropping probably because????????.
A．scientists don’t make much money in Japan
B．there are too many scientists in Japan already
C．science is more difficult for young people to learn
D．they’re not curious about how high-tech devices work
答案 D
解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，日本的年輕人對科學的興趣減弱是因為他們對高科技產(chǎn)品的運作方式不感興趣。
26．The underlined word “their”?in Paragraph 2 refers to ????????.
A．Japanese businesses’?? B．Japanese engineers’
C．Japan’s youth’s ? D．high-tech devices’
答案 B
解析 代詞指代題。根據(jù)第二段前兩句可知，日本企業(yè)成功的部分原因是有大量的工程師。而日本的年輕人對科學的興趣日益下降可能會導致工程師數(shù)量的減少和素質(zhì)的降低。故their指代“日本工程師們的”。
27．Why does science meet the same problem in Japan，the US and Europe?
A．People are satisfied with the convenience high-tech devices bring to them.
B．People believe they don’t need to develop their science any more.
C．People think high-tech devices destroys the environment.
D．People don’t want to live the modernized life.
答案 A
解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，一個富裕的社會會降低人們發(fā)展國家的欲望，也就是說，人們的生活太過安逸。在歐洲和美國出現(xiàn)同樣的問題也是同樣道理。
C
Ask anyone what is the most difficult part of changing their lifestyle habits and they are most likely to say，“staying motivated”．But a 36-year-old professor from Carnegie Mellon University claims it may have the answer in the form of robot weight loss coach that dishes out daily health advice and encouragement.
Autom is the work of Robotics trends，a company which claims to be a pioneer in commercial socially-interactive robots.
The robot，which stands around 38 centimeters tall，has a head that swivels(轉(zhuǎn)動)，blue eyes，and a touch screen which allows the user to input information daily about exercise and diet.Its creators say Autom will have daily conversation with its user lasting up to five minutes，giving feedback and encouragement.Over time，it will interact more with the user as it gathers more information about them.
Cory Kidd，a research team manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency，claims research has shown that people find robots a more credible source of information than on-screen-based character.
In a controlled study in Pittsburgh City Council,15 dieters were given Autom for six weeks.Another 15 received a touch-screen computer with identical software and 15 were given a paper log.The study found，people using the robot were more likely to stick with their diets longer，in fact twice as long as those using just a paper log.
“While not one person among the computer or paper groups continued past six weeks，most who had Autom did not want to give her back at the conclusion of the study，”?he said.
The bottom line is that a robot creates a more powerful and long-lasting relationship with the user than a character on the screen.
Autom is expected to go on sale later this year in the United States for around 
500.The robots which speak and understand Cantonese and Mandarin in addition to English according to the demands are also being developed.
28．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The automated way to motivation.
B．The development of Autom.
C．The working principle of robot.
D．The way to change the lifestyle habits.
答案 A
解析 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知這種機器人能給人們激勵。特別是第一段第一句“Ask anyone what is the most difficult part of changing their lifestyle habits and they are most likely to say，‘staying motivated’．”開門見山提出這種機器人的設(shè)計目的，下文進行了驗證。
29．What can we know about the controlled study?
A．The subjects were divided by two.
B．Every person with Autom continued past six weeks.
C．The study was led by Cory Kidd.
D．People using Autom gained more benefit than other people.
答案 D
解析 細節(jié)理解題。本題考查實驗的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。通過第五段和第六段可知實驗是在三組內(nèi)進行，所以A項錯誤；通過第六段第一句話可知B項錯誤；第四段只是說“Cory Kidd，a research team manager”，并沒有說他領(lǐng)導進行了這個實驗；實驗的結(jié)論為D項。
30．Which institution is responsible for the development of Autom?
A．Carnegie Mellon University.
B．Robotics trends.
C．Federal Emergency Management Agency.
D．Pittsburgh City Council.
答案 B
解析 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句話“Autom is the work of Robotics trends...”可知是Robotics trends研發(fā)出這種機器人。
31．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The robot can’t speak English except Cantonese and Mandarin.
B．The robot that can speak many languages has been popular with the users.
C．The robot can help people change their lifestyle habits.
D．The robots that can speak many languages meet the demand of the customers.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章可知這種機器人并沒有真正投入生產(chǎn)和使用，排除選項B；根據(jù)最后一段可知選項A錯誤；選項D是最后一段的具體信息，同時表述也不準確，只是提到了能說三種語言而不是能說多種語言的機器人正在研發(fā)中。根據(jù)第一段的開始和后面的闡述可知C項正確。
D

Mirrors have a very particular??41 ?.They reflect the image in front of them.Just as a ??42 ?mirror works as the vehicle to reflection，??43 ?do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden，that garden??44 ?a reflection.When we love someone，it’s a(n) ??45 ??of loving ourselves.We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I’m with that person”．That simply ??46 ?into “I’m able to love me when I love that other person”．??47 ?，when we meet someone new，we feel as though we “click”．Sometimes it’s as if we’ve ??48 ??each other for a long time.That feeling can come from ??49 ??similarities.

41．A.target ? B．style
C．function ? D．color
答案 C
解析 根據(jù)下一句可知，本句是說鏡子具有獨特的功能或作用，因此選擇function(功能)。
42．A.medical ? B．physical
C．chemical ? D．mental
答案 B
解析 就像人們可以從有形的鏡子中看到自己，生活中的所有人也同樣可以反映自己。physical意為“有形的”。
43．A.so ? B．then
C．nor ? D．neither
答案 A
解析 本句是把我們生活中的人比作鏡子，因為前面的句子是肯定形式，因此選擇so，表示“某人或某物也……”。
44．A.focuses on ? B．applies to
C．works with ? D．serves as
答案 D
解析 我們所看到的漂亮的花園也是一面鏡子。serve as意為“充當”，符合語意。
45．A.reward ? B．evaluation
C．reflection ? D．example
答案 C
解析 我們愛別人就是愛我們自己的反映。
46．A.grows ? B．translates
C．enters ? D．falls
答案 B
解析 從句意可知，本句是對前面句子的解釋，因此用translate(解釋)。
47．A.Obviously ? B．Strangely
C．Fortunately ? D．Frequently
答案 D
解析 經(jīng)常地，我們遇見一個陌生人，感覺仿佛是一見如故。選擇Frequently與下一句中的Sometimes呼應。
48．A.known ? B．supported
C．observed ? D．recognized
答案 A
解析 有時感覺好像我們已經(jīng)相識甚久。
49．A.creating ? B．lacking
C．sharing ? D．comparing
答案 C
解析 這種熟悉感可能來自彼此身上的共同點。share意為“有同樣的感情(或想法、經(jīng)歷等)”，注意到，留心，符合語意。
50．A.ignore ? B．keep
C．take ? D．notice
答案 D
解析 就像“鏡子”或他人能映射出我們積極的一面一樣，我們更有可能注意到映射出自己消極方面的“鏡子”。notice注意到，留心，符合語意。
51．A.In brief ? B．In addition
C．For example ? D．As usual
答案 C
解析 作者是用具體的事例來說明本段的中心，因此選C。
52．A.crazy ? B．anxious

答案 D
解析 我們可能在心中對那個人有些反感。the person指上文提到的那個我們不喜歡的人。
54．A.less ? B．amazing
C．more ? D．valuable
答案 A
解析 當我們認識自己不喜歡與之相處的人時，這種情況就更為明顯。想與他們相處更短的時間，即不喜歡與他們相處，因此less符合語境。
55．A.appreciate ? B．dislike
C．describe ? D．discover
答案 B
解析 本文從兩個方面闡述鏡子的作用，第三段是積極的反映，第四、五段是消極的反映，因此選dislike。
56．A.shouting ? B．shining
C．speaking ? D．pointing
答案 C
解析 我們不喜歡別人身上的品性，這也是“鏡子”的作用。speak to sb.意為“對某人說”，符合語意。
57．A.new ? B．nervous
C．familiar ? D．friendly
答案 A
解析 根據(jù)下文的“feel distant，disconnected，or disgusted”可知這里是指我們遇到陌生人，因此選new。遇到友好的人不會有距離感，因此D項不符合語意。
58．A.If ? B．Although
C．Since ? D．Once
答案 B
解析 盡管我們不想去相信，不容易也不想去深究，但是弄清楚這個人的哪些特質(zhì)在自己身上有所體現(xiàn)是非常重要的一課。因此選Although，引導讓步狀語從句。
59．A.terrible ? B．noble
C．reliable ? D．desirable
答案 D
解析 根據(jù)前面的not easy可知深究這個問題是不容易的或者有時也不愿去深究，因此選desirable更為貼切。
60．A.figure out ? B．take out
C．put out ? D．give out
答案 A
解析 弄清楚這個人的哪些特質(zhì)在自己身上有所體現(xiàn)是非常重要的一課，因此選figure out(弄清)。

Nowadays，most of us teenagers have our own cell phones and some of us are addicted to playing with cell phones.As a result，we ignore the normal communication with our teachers and classmates.
There is no doubt that cell phones have a negative impact on our life.Playing with cell phones makes it hard for us to concentrate on our lessons.Sending text messages makes us lose the ability to communicate with others.Worse still，we don’t have much time for physical exercise.
So we’d better limit the time we spend using the cell phones.Besides，we should learn to communicate with our family members face to face，which helps build a harmonious family atmosphere
