Teaching second grade is always a challenge. Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year a student called Billy 16 me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his 17 emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that， to make 18 progress， his emotions needed controlling.
One 19 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billys mom would 20 me to alert （警告） me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then， I would focus on 21 his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived.
One week our class was studying 22. I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day.
That day began as normal. I was preparing activities focused on dog themes 23 I was told that Billy had a 24 morning at home and I might need to get him 25.

Billy couldnt 29 Rockys charm （魅力） and began laughing as his anger melted away.
Throughout the day， Billy never left Rockys side， feeding him， being gentle with him and even 30 the other students while Rocky was sleeping.
Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid 31， but on this day he found a good dog story， “Cliffords Puppy Days，” and read it to Rocky. How 32 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily！ My little dog was able to 33 Billys day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter， gentleness and 34.

三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
We are in the 21st century now， but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows， so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious： Everything of importance comes from the teacher.
With a little imagination and effort， unless desks are fixed to the floor， the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standardsize classes， chairs， desks， and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways： circles， Ushapes or semicircles. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else.
Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problemsolving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls， it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four or six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other， think out loud， and see how other students thinking processes operate—all these are essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
In courses that regularly use a small group format， students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine， John， allows students to move around during the first two weeks， until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat， with the same group， from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students names and faces. 36. The final purpose of arranging desks in circles or Ushapes is .
A. for teachers to divide students into small groups
B. for teachers to find out how students think
C. to make it possible for students to interact with each other
D. to give students more opportunities to practice speaking
37. The expression “step back in time at least a hundred years” is intended to convey that .
A. college classrooms often reminded people of their past
B. critical thinking was encouraged even one century ago
C. desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different from that a hundred years ago
D. todays arrangement of college classroom space has little difference from pasts
38. The way of arranging desks in classrooms in straight rows indicates that .
A. students can be easily prevented from cheating during tests
B. teachers play a significant role in a classroom
C. it is convenient for teachers to monitor students
D. it is good for students to concentrate on listening to teachers
B
Everyone procrastinates. We put things off because we dont want to do them， or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off—big or small—is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged， it is time to take action， and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an unscheduled.
An unschedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings， but also your untimed activities such as meals， exercise， time with friends， and the like. Once you have made your unschedule， you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize， for instance， that you really dont have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators views of time tend to be unrealistic， and the unschedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly， you will not only get a better nights sleep， you may also end up with a better paper.
The unschedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project， such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done， but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis， you will see that you need to get started sooner， rather than later. In addition， the unschedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months， which will help you budget time for longterm projects. Perhaps most importantly， the unschedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television， and decide to make a change. Its especially important that you build time for fun activities into your unschedule. Otherwise， you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.
You can also use the unschedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what youve achieved will help you reinforce （强化） the productive behavior， and you will feel more motivated in the following process.
As you explore ways to conquer procrastination， dont expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time； you arent going stop magically. But you can change the behavior， bit by bit. If you start to make an unschedule now， you will eventually develop new habits.
39. From Paragraph 2， we can know that procrastinators .
A. usually have sleeping problems
B. tend to be unrealistic in daily life
C. spend more time in doing exercise
D. often fail to notice untimed activities
40. Which of the following statements best reflects an unschedule？
A. “Now I have more time for fun.”
B. “I can start my big project later.”
C. “Ill treat myself to a movie for my progress.”
D. “Im going to have more time to finish my paper.”
41. According to the writer， people need to make an unschedule because of their .
A. interests in doing things differently
B. determination to try out new things
C. inability to manage time properly
D. lack of concentration on a project
C
Youre probably aware of the basic trends. The financial rewards to education have increased over the past few decades， but men fail to benefit.
In elementary and high school， male academic performance is lagging. Boys earn threequarters of the Ds and Fs. By college， men are clearly behind. Only 40 percent of bachelors degree go to men， along with 40 percent of masters degree.
Thanks to their lower skills， men are dropping out of the labor force. In 1954， 96 percent of the American men between the ages of 25 and 54 worked. Today， that number is down to 80 percent. In Fridays jobs report， male labor force participation reached an alltime low.
Millions of men are collecting disability benefits. Even many of those who do have a job are doing poorly. According to Michael Greenstone of the Hamilton Project， annual earnings for average primeage males have dropped by 28 percent over the past 40 years. Men still dominate （主宰） the top of the corporate ladder because many women take time off to raise children， but women lead or are gaining nearly everywhere else. Women in their 20s outearn men in their 20s. Twelve out of the 15 fastestgrowing professions are dominated by women.
Over the years， many of us have employed a certain theory to explain mens economic decline. It is that the informationage economy rewards qualities that women are more likely to possess.
To succeed today， you have to be able to sit still and focus attention in school at an early age. You have to be emotionally sensitive and aware of context. You have to communicate smoothly. For genetic and cultural reasons， many men are not good at these.
But， in her fascinating new book， The End of Men， Hanna Rosin suggests a different theory. It has to do with adaptability. Women， Rosin argues， are like immigrants （移民） who have moved to a new country. They see a new social context， and they flexibly adapt to new circumstances. Men are like immigrants who have physically moved to a new country but who have kept their minds in the old one. They speak the old language. They follow the old customs. Men are more likely to be rigid； women are more fluid.
This theory has less to do with born qualities and more to do with social position. When theres big social change， the people who were on the top of the old order are bound to stick to the old ways. The people who were on the bottom are bound to experience a burst of energy. They are going to explore their new surroundings more enthusiastically.
Rosin reports from workingclass Alabama. The women she meets are flooding into new jobs and new opportunities—going back to college， pursuing new careers. The men are waiting around for the jobs left and are never coming back. They are strangely immune （免疫的）to new options. In the AuburnOpelika region， the average female income is 140 percent of the average male income.
Rosin is not saying that women are winners in a global gender （性别） war or that they are doing super simply because men are doing worse. Shes just saying women are adapting to todays economy more flexibly than men. Theres a lot of evidence to support her case.
A study by the National Federation of Independent Business found that small businesses owned by women outperformed maleowned small business during the last recession （衰退）. In finance， women who switch firms are more likely to see their performance improve， whereas men are likely to see theirs decline. Theres even evidence that women are better able to adjust to divorce. Today， more women than men see their incomes rise by 25 percent after a marital breakup. Forty years ago， men and women stuck to certain theory， what it meant to be a man or a woman. Young women today， Rosin argues， have abandoned both feminist （女权主义者）and prefeminist preconceptions. Men still stick to the masculinity （大男子主义的）rules， which limit their vision and their movement.
If shes right， then men will have to acknowledge that they are strangers in a strange land.
42. Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A. Male labor force participation has declined by 80% since 1954.
B. More men than women take time off to raise children now.
C. Good communication is one of the qualities that women possess.
D. Men are still taking most top and fastestgrowing professions.
43. In Hanna Rosins opinion， male performance is falling behind because .
A. men are less likely to sit still and focus in school at early age
B. men are more rigid and less able to adapt to new circumstances
C. women are doing better for genetic and cultural reasons
D. it is more and more difficult for men to get bachelors degree
44. What is the passage intended to convey？
A. The differences between men and women.
B. The reasons why men do no better than women.
C. The social status of men and women.
D. The reasons why men fail compared with women.

It appears that the police now have a device that can read license plates and check if a car is unregistered， uninsured or stolen. We already know that National Security Agency can dip into your Facebook page and Google searches. And it seems that almost every store we go into these days wants your home phone number and ZIP code as part of any transaction （交易）.
So when Edward Snowden—now cooling his heels in Russia—revealed the extent to which the NSA is spying on Americans， collecting data on phone calls we make， its not as if we should have been surprised. We live in a world that George Orwell predicted in 1984. And that realization has caused sales of the 1949， dystopian （反乌托邦）novel to spike dramatically upward recently—a 9，000% increase at one point on Amazon. com.
Comparisons between Orwells novel about a tightly controlled totalitarian （极权主义的） future ruled by the ubiquitous （无所在的）Big Brother and today are， in fact， quite similar. Here are a few of the most obvious ones.
Telescreens—in the novel， nearly all public and private places have large TV screens that broadcast government propaganda （宣传）， news and approved entertainment. But they are also twoway monitors that spy on citizens， private lives. Today websites like Facebook track our likes and dislikes， and governments and private individuals hack into our computers and find out what they want to know. Then there are the everpresent surveillance （监控） cameras that spy on the ordinary people as they go about their daily routine. The endless war—In Orwells book， theres global war that has been going on seemingly forever， and as the books hero， Winston Smith， realizes the enemy keeps changing. One week were at war with Eastasia and friends with Eurasia. The next week， its just the opposite. There seems little to distinguish the two adversaries （对手）， and they are used primarily to keep the people of Oceania， where Smith lives， in a constant state of fear， thereby making disagreement unthinkable—or punishable. Today we have the socalled war on terror， with no end in sight， a generalized societal fear， suspension of certain civil liberties， and an illdefined enemy who could be anywhere， and anything.
Newspeak—the fictional， strippeddown English language， used to limit free thought. OMG （Oh my God）， RU （Are you） serious？ Thats so FUBAR （Fucked Beyond Ail Recognition）. LMAO （Laugh My Ass Off）.
Memory hole—this is the machine used in the book to change or disappear embarrassing documents. Paper shredders （碎纸机） had been invented， but were hardly used when Orwell wrote his book， and the concept of wiping out a hard drive was years in the future. But the memory hole foretold both technologies.
So whats it all meant？ In 1984， Winston Smith， after an intense round of “behavioral modification”—read： torture—learns to love Big Brother， and the difficult world he was born into. Jump forward to today， it seems weve willingly given up all sorts of freedoms， and much of our right to privacy. Fears of terrorism have a lot to do with this， but dizzying advances in technology， and the ubiquity of social media， play a big part.
There are those who say that if you dont have anything to hide， you have nothing to be afraid of. But the fact is， when a government agency can monitor everyones phone calls， we have all become suspects. This is one of the most frightening aspects of our modem society. And even more frightening is the fact that we have gone so far down the street， there is probably no turning back. Unless you spend your life in a wilderness cabin， totally off the grid， there is simply no way the government wont have information about you stored away somewhere.
What this means， unfortunately， is that we are all Winston Smith. And Big Brother is the modem surveillance state.
45. What caused 1984 to sell well on Amazon.com？
A. The fact that authorities have access to our personal information.
B. The worry that our government agencies can monitor our phones. C. The surprise at how Americans are spied on by the government.
D. The similarities between the world we live in and that of 1984.
46. Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A. When Orwell wrote 1984， paper shredders didnt exist.
B. Winston Smith loves Big Brother due to the fears of terrorism.
C. Telescreens are used to broadcast and spy on citizens privacy.
D. The war with Eastasia makes people in Oceania fearful.
47. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 8 refer to？
A. Willingness to abandon freedom and privacy.
B. Addiction to social media.
C. A round of “behavioral modification”.
D. The phone calls being monitored.
48. The underlined part in the passage replies that .
A. we are walking along the street too far to go back home
B. it is impossible for us to return to our initial path
C. it is very difficult for us to change the current situation
D. the government can find out which street we are going down
49. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A. Were living “1984” today.
B. Big Brother is watching you.
C. We are all Winston Smith.
D. The NSA is spying on Americans.
50. What is the writers attitude towards the phenomenon？
A. Optimistic.B. Concerned.
C. Angry.D. Enthusiastic.
四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
Chronic disorganization （慢性失序症） occurs when one is habitually disorganized over a long period， which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business. One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isnt actually a disease or even an “official” disorder. Its the continued lack of organization in ones life.
Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control. This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand， yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situation.
Ones personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists. Once the attitude of acceptance about being a “slob” is in someones head， its hard to remove. If someone tells himself that he is a slob， he will likely live up to that selfimage created by him or by those around him.
One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members. Everybody becomes affected by this situation， especially those sharing living places with the one involved. The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization （HSGCD） recommends that one get help through a professional organizer. The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions. There were varied reasons given for this problem of decisionmaking. Among them were fears and prioritizing issues. Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decisionmaking and chronic disorganization.
Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization， something most people experience at some point. Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce. Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career may intend to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside. However， one doesnt instantly have chronic disorganization.
“If youre going through hell， keep going.” Thats an old saying thats true about ones struggles with chronic disorganization. Every person has the power to change within himself. Its a matter of staying organized， one day at a time. Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day.51. It means that the person has a（n）

五、One possible version：
In modern society， drugs are becoming a more and more serious problem in the world. The trade of drugs is widespread， which costs up to $800 billion every year.
As is shown on the chart above， 30% of the teenagers taking drugs are cheated into doing it， and 50% are driven by curiosity. Another 15% just seek excitements or try to get rid of their anxieties. The rest try it for some other reasons.
As we all know， taking drugs does great harm to our health， even causing people to die at an early age. Meanwhile， it directly contributes to the happening of crimes. But to our sadness， more and more young people begin taking drugs.
In order to protect us students from drugs， what should we do？ I think， we should be careful to make friends and stay away from those who always behave badly. Also， its very important for us to lead a healthy lifestyle and hold positive attitudes towards life. Do remember that trying drugs out of curiosity is very dangerous.

A
Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
We are in the 21st century now， but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows， so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious： Everything of importance comes from the teacher.
With a little imagination and effort， unless desks are fixed to the floor， the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standardsize classes， chairs， desks， and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways： circles， Ushapes or semicircles. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else.
Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problemsolving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls， it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four or six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other， think out loud， and see how other students thinking processes operate—all these are essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
In courses that regularly use a small group format， students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine， John， allows students to move around during the first two weeks， until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat， with the same group， from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students names and faces. 36. The final purpose of arranging desks in circles or Ushapes is .
A. for teachers to divide students into small groups
B. for teachers to find out how students think
C. to make it possible for students to interact with each other
D. to give students more opportunities to practice speaking
37. The expression “step back in time at least a hundred years” is intended to convey that .
A. college classrooms often reminded people of their past
B. critical thinking was encouraged even one century ago
C. desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different from that a hundred years ago
D. todays arrangement of college classroom space has little difference from pasts
38. The way of arranging desks in classrooms in straight rows indicates that .
A. students can be easily prevented from cheating during tests
B. teachers play a significant role in a classroom
C. it is convenient for teachers to monitor students
D. it is good for students to concentrate on listening to teachers
B
Everyone procrastinates. We put things off because we dont want to do them， or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off—big or small—is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged， it is time to take action， and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an unscheduled.
An unschedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings， but also your untimed activities such as meals， exercise， time with friends， and the like. Once you have made your unschedule， you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize， for instance， that you really dont have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators views of time tend to be unrealistic， and the unschedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly， you will not only get a better nights sleep， you may also end up with a better paper.
The unschedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project， such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done， but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis， you will see that you need to get started sooner， rather than later. In addition， the unschedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months， which will help you budget time for longterm projects. Perhaps most importantly， the unschedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television， and decide to make a change. Its especially important that you build time for fun activities into your unschedule. Otherwise， you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.
You can also use the unschedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what youve achieved will help you reinforce （强化） the productive behavior， and you will feel more motivated in the following process.
As you explore ways to conquer procrastination， dont expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time； you arent going stop magically. But you can change the behavior， bit by bit. If you start to make an unschedule now， you will eventually develop new habits.
39. From Paragraph 2， we can know that procrastinators .
A. usually have sleeping problems
B. tend to be unrealistic in daily life
C. spend more time in doing exercise
D. often fail to notice untimed activities
40. Which of the following statements best reflects an unschedule？
A. “Now I have more time for fun.”
B. “I can start my big project later.”
C. “Ill treat myself to a movie for my progress.”
D. “Im going to have more time to finish my paper.”
41. According to the writer， people need to make an unschedule because of their .
A. interests in doing things differently
B. determination to try out new things
C. inability to manage time properly
D. lack of concentration on a project
C
Youre probably aware of the basic trends. The financial rewards to education have increased over the past few decades， but men fail to benefit.
In elementary and high school， male academic performance is lagging. Boys earn threequarters of the Ds and Fs. By college， men are clearly behind. Only 40 percent of bachelors degree go to men， along with 40 percent of masters degree.
Thanks to their lower skills， men are dropping out of the labor force. In 1954， 96 percent of the American men between the ages of 25 and 54 worked. Today， that number is down to 80 percent. In Fridays jobs report， male labor force participation reached an alltime low.
Millions of men are collecting disability benefits. Even many of those who do have a job are doing poorly. According to Michael Greenstone of the Hamilton Project， annual earnings for average primeage males have dropped by 28 percent over the past 40 years. Men still dominate （主宰） the top of the corporate ladder because many women take time off to raise children， but women lead or are gaining nearly everywhere else. Women in their 20s outearn men in their 20s. Twelve out of the 15 fastestgrowing professions are dominated by women.
Over the years， many of us have employed a certain theory to explain mens economic decline. It is that the informationage economy rewards qualities that women are more likely to possess.
To succeed today， you have to be able to sit still and focus attention in school at an early age. You have to be emotionally sensitive and aware of context. You have to communicate smoothly. For genetic and cultural reasons， many men are not good at these.
But， in her fascinating new book， The End of Men， Hanna Rosin suggests a different theory. It has to do with adaptability. Women， Rosin argues， are like immigrants （移民） who have moved to a new country. They see a new social context， and they flexibly adapt to new circumstances. Men are like immigrants who have physically moved to a new country but who have kept their minds in the old one. They speak the old language. They follow the old customs. Men are more likely to be rigid； women are more fluid.
This theory has less to do with born qualities and more to do with social position. When theres big social change， the people who were on the top of the old order are bound to stick to the old ways. The people who were on the bottom are bound to experience a burst of energy. They are going to explore their new surroundings more enthusiastically.
Rosin reports from workingclass Alabama. The women she meets are flooding into new jobs and new opportunities—going back to college， pursuing new careers. The men are waiting around for the jobs left and are never coming back. They are strangely immune （免疫的）to new options. In the AuburnOpelika region， the average female income is 140 percent of the average male income.
Rosin is not saying that women are winners in a global gender （性别） war or that they are doing super simply because men are doing worse. Shes just saying women are adapting to todays economy more flexibly than men. Theres a lot of evidence to support her case.
A study by the National Federation of Independent Business found that small businesses owned by women outperformed maleowned small business during the last recession （衰退）. In finance， women who switch firms are more likely to see their performance improve， whereas men are likely to see theirs decline. Theres even evidence that women are better able to adjust to divorce. Today， more women than men see their incomes rise by 25 percent after a marital breakup. Forty years ago， men and women stuck to certain theory， what it meant to be a man or a woman. Young women today， Rosin argues， have abandoned both feminist （女权主义者）and prefeminist preconceptions. Men still stick to the masculinity （大男子主义的）rules， which limit their vision and their movement.
If shes right， then men will have to acknowledge that they are strangers in a strange land.

D
It appears that the police now have a device that can read license plates and check if a car is unregistered， uninsured or stolen. We already know that National Security Agency can dip into your Facebook page and Google searches. And it seems that almost every store we go into these days wants your home phone number and ZIP code as part of any transaction （交易）.
So when Edward Snowden—now cooling his heels in Russia—revealed the extent to which the NSA is spying on Americans， collecting data on phone calls we make， its not as if we should have been surprised. We live in a world that George Orwell predicted in 1984. And that realization has caused sales of the 1949， dystopian （反乌托邦）novel to spike dramatically upward recently—a 9，000% increase at one point on Amazon. com.
Comparisons between Orwells novel about a tightly controlled totalitarian （极权主义的） future ruled by the ubiquitous （无所在的）Big Brother and today are， in fact， quite similar. Here are a few of the most obvious ones.
Telescreens—in the novel， nearly all public and private places have large TV screens that broadcast government propaganda （宣传）， news and approved entertainment. But they are also twoway monitors that spy on citizens， private lives. Today websites like Facebook track our likes and dislikes， and governments and private individuals hack into our computers and find out what they want to know. Then there are the everpresent surveillance （监控） cameras that spy on the ordinary people as they go about their daily routine. The endless war—In Orwells book， theres global war that has been going on seemingly forever， and as the books hero， Winston Smith， realizes the enemy keeps changing. One week were at war with Eastasia and friends with Eurasia. The next week， its just the opposite. There seems little to distinguish the two adversaries （对手）， and they are used primarily to keep the people of Oceania， where Smith lives， in a constant state of fear， thereby making disagreement unthinkable—or punishable. Today we have the socalled war on terror， with no end in sight， a generalized societal fear， suspension of certain civil liberties， and an illdefined enemy who could be anywhere， and anything.
Newspeak—the fictional， strippeddown English language， used to limit free thought. OMG （Oh my God）， RU （Are you） serious？ Thats so FUBAR （Fucked Beyond Ail Recognition）. LMAO （Laugh My Ass Off）.
Memory hole—this is the machine used in the book to change or disappear embarrassing documents. Paper shredders （碎纸机） had been invented， but were hardly used when Orwell wrote his book， and the concept of wiping out a hard drive was years in the future. But the memory hole foretold both technologies.
So whats it all meant？ In 1984， Winston Smith， after an intense round of “behavioral modification”—read： torture—learns to love Big Brother， and the difficult world he was born into. Jump forward to today， it seems weve willingly given up all sorts of freedoms， and much of our right to privacy. Fears of terrorism have a lot to do with this， but dizzying advances in technology， and the ubiquity of social media， play a big part.
There are those who say that if you dont have anything to hide， you have nothing to be afraid of. But the fact is， when a government agency can monitor everyones phone calls， we have all become suspects. This is one of the most frightening aspects of our modem society. And even more frightening is the fact that we have gone so far down the street， there is probably no turning back. Unless you spend your life in a wilderness cabin， totally off the grid， there is simply no way the government wont have information about you stored away somewhere.
What this means， unfortunately， is that we are all Winston Smith. And Big Brother is the modem surveillance state.
45. What caused 1984 to sell well on Amazon.com？
A. The fact that authorities have access to our personal information.

四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
Chronic disorganization （慢性失序症） occurs when one is habitually disorganized over a long period， which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business. One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isnt actually a disease or even an “official” disorder. Its the continued lack of organization in ones life.
Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control. This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand， yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situation.
Ones personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists. Once the attitude of acceptance about being a “slob” is in someones head， its hard to remove. If someone tells himself that he is a slob， he will likely live up to that selfimage created by him or by those around him.
One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members. Everybody becomes affected by this situation， especially those sharing living places with the one involved. The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization （HSGCD） recommends that one get help through a professional organizer. The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions. There were varied reasons given for this problem of decisionmaking. Among them were fears and prioritizing issues. Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decisionmaking and chronic disorganization.
Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization， something most people experience at some point. Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce. Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career may intend to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside. However， one doesnt instantly have chronic disorganization.
“If youre going through hell， keep going.” Thats an old saying thats true about ones struggles with chronic disorganization. Every person has the power to change within himself. Its a matter of staying organized， one day at a time. Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day.51.

五、One possible version：
In modern society， drugs are becoming a more and more serious problem in the world. The trade of drugs is widespread， which costs up to $800 billion every year.
As is shown on the chart above， 30% of the teenagers taking drugs are cheated into doing it， and 50% are driven by curiosity. Another 15% just seek excitements or try to get rid of their anxieties. The rest try it for some other reasons.
As we all know， taking drugs does great harm to our health， even causing people to die at an early age. Meanwhile， it directly contributes to the happening of crimes. But to our sadness， more and more young people begin taking drugs.
In order to protect us students from drugs， what should we do？ I think， we should be careful to make friends and stay away from those who always behave badly. Also， its very important for us to lead a healthy lifestyle and hold positive attitudes towards life. Do remember that trying drugs out of curiosity is very dangerous.
