More news on the knighthood is surely to come．but Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish．not English．
Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond, waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag．in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory．No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896．Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray’s achievement had been a victory for Britain． “Absolutely，and for tennis fans everywhere，"Salmond said．“Let everyone enjoy the victory．But you will allow us just the little private thing．Let us wave our national flag．’’
The Scottish government，headed by Salmond，has announced that Scotland will hold a referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014．Murray，who lives in the London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane，has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue，and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views．
But this was，make no mistake，a national moment．Murray’s semifinal victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers．the biggest of the year in Britain．The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million，the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the BBC．
Only one name will go on the trophy(奖杯)，but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event．Murray，who once had frequent fits of anger during matches，has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group．Murray’s rise to champion has clearly something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the2012 season．“He’s been very patient with me; I"m just happy I managed to do it for him．”
Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next month，and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱) well and truly over．
小题1:The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray’s_____.
| A．achievement | B．knighthood |
| C．champion title | D．nationality |
| A．Murray is the first British to have won the singles at Wimbledon． |
| B．Murray’s victory over Jerzy Janowicz drew the biggest audience of the year． |
| C．Murray has won the championship of the United States Open before． |
| D．Murray was born a strong，talented and cool-headed tennis player． |
| A．Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain． |
| B．Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held． |
| C．British government’s rule over Scotland will come to an end soon． |
| D．The British people’s desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied． |
| A．The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray’s victory． |
| B．Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain |
| C．The secret lies behind Murray’s Wimbledon victory． |
| D．Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum． |

解析
试题分析：文章介绍了英国网球选手安迪·穆雷在获得温布尔顿公开赛冠军后整个英国民众对这一荣誉的兴奋之情，他本人既被授予了爵士头衔还创造了1990年以来温网电视收视率的新高。
小题1:推理题：根据第二段中“Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish．not English．”根据后面说他是苏格兰人，不是英国人可知在讨论穆雷的国籍。故选D。
小题2:细节题：根据第三段中“No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896”从1896年哈罗德·马奥尼赢得温布尔登网球男子单打冠军之后在没有苏格兰人得冠。可知A错误；根据第五段内容可知穆雷半决赛战胜Jerzy Janowicz电视观众达到1324万人，决赛时达到1730万人，因此B错误；根据最后一段第一句“ Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next month”下个月开始，穆雷的团队去卫冕美国公开赛冠军，由此可知穆雷得过美国公开赛冠军，故C正确；根据第六段中“who once had frequent fits of anger during matches”他曾在比赛期间频繁的暴怒，由此可知D错误。故选C。
小题3:推理题：根据文章第一段可知英国民众期待本土温网冠军已经等了77年了，此次穆雷得冠满足了英国人民的渴望。故选D。
小题4:推理题：阅读文章可知英国政府以及英国民众在穆雷获得温网冠军时和之后的各种表现，包括决赛时的收视率新高，以及穆雷本人胜利后会获得爵士头衔，由此可知人们喜欢穆雷得冠。故选A。
核心考点
试题【Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player，Andy Murray】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
小题1: According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ______.
| A．self-respect | B．financial rewards |
| C．advertising ability | D．friendly relationship |
| A．lying | B．stealing | C．cheating | D．advertising |
| A．offering advice to the clerk | B．telling the truth to the clerk |
| C．asking the clerk to be more attentive | D．reminding the clerk of the charged item |
Without urgent action to stop that trend，warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report，the miracle drugs to fight them won’t be available in the future．
“If we are not careful，the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection．But if we act now，we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines．”
The report names a drug—resistant abuse of gonorrhea(淋病)，which causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually．Of the number at least 1 4，000 result in death．
Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti—bacterial agents．These can be：doctors prescribing(开药) them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed，so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened，not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth．Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans．
To limit the spread of resistant infections，experts recommend wider use of routine immunizations(预防)，as well as hand—washing in hospitals and other health care facilities．Also， the report urges hand—washing by food handlers．?
Michael Bell，deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC，said Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions．
小题1:What’s the best title of the passage?
| A．Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US |
| B．Drug—Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US |
| C．Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US |
| D．Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US |
| A．we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibiotics |
| B．there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future |
| C．we can’t find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future |
| D．more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year |
| A．at least 5.6％ | B．about 25％ | C．about 1.4％ | D．at least 2.5％ |
| A．people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animals |
| B．doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients |
| C．doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients |
| D．patients don’t take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe |
At that time, any fish caught had to be preserved. Raw fish was cleaned and then pressed between layers of heavy salt. After a couple of months, the whole process was complete. Over time, a discovery was made that by rolling the fish in rice that had been soaked in vinegar the fish was easily fermented (发酵) in a few days rather than months. The rice was then thrown away and the fish was eaten. However, with a food shortage, people began consuming the rice as well as the fish and thus, Sushi today as we know was born. However, in the 1800s, a famous chef by the name of Yohei created two styles of Sushi—one called Edo, and the second, Osaka, for two cities.
Sushi is usually consumed with hot green tea. Also, Gari is offered free and eaten between bites to create a better taste. Two kinds of sauce are usually available: one is soy sauce, which is poured on most kinds of Sushi; the other is a thick sweet sauce used on eel (鳗鱼).
Sushi has taken the world by storm and today is a multi-billion dollar industry. Its popularity continues to rise because people are looking for healthy food that is quick and easy to make. With such unbelievable popularity as well as the health benefits of eating Sushi, it is likely that this food will continue to be a part of everyday life for many more centuries to come.
小题1:Two kinds of Sushi, Edo and Osaka, were probably named after _______.
| A．the chef’s name | B．their birthplaces |
| C．the name of fish | D．some kinds of food |
| A．keep Sushi last long |
| B．make green tea better |
| C．digest Sushi more quickly |
| D．make Sushi more delicious |
| A．It is cheap and delicious. |
| B．It is served with free Gari. |
| C．It is beneficial to people’s health. |
| D．It is easy to be kept for a long time. |
| A．Delicious Sushi and Its Origin |
| B．How to Make Delicious Sushi |
| C．Yohei and Two Styles of Sushi |
| D．The Birthplace of Sushi—China |
Mother seemed only forgetful as well as confused at the beginning of that disease, but sometime later she would go through different time of intense anxiety. She would keep walk ing through the house she used to live in most of her life crying uneasily that she would like to go home. Or sometimes she left home and wandered away if she were unattended for a short time.
Hoping to make her happy and put her mind at ease I would take her in my car, visiting sites where she used to live when she was a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn(草坪). I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shook her head and said, “I want to go home.”
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I think it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still energetic and attentive.
Watching my mother’s suffering set me wondering where I would have in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of senile dementia is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.

You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely,Anonymous
