阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot­ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr Clark wouldn't let that happen.
Mr Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time that some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.
Mr Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr Clark said, “You're all going.”
On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a best­selling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55, in 2003.
Mr Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It's now my dream to one day start a group of women's clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.

36．Without Mr Clark, the writer ________．
A．might have been put into prison B．might not have won the prize

A．It was in Harlem that we saw The Phantom of the Opera for the first time.
B．Mr Clark taught us not to talk with our mouths full, and we did.
C．Mr Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year in Los Angeles.
D．In 2003, Mr Clark moved to Atlanta, and he always kept in touch with us.

KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut…
These fast food restaurants constantly remind us of the American fondness with hamburgers, chips and pizza. But America's reputation as the home of fast food is under threat from the British, according to the research carried out by the BBC in 13 nations among 9，000 people.
Despite fears over obesity, the study found the British are more obsessed with junk food than any other nation.
Almost half of British respondents (参与调查者) said they enjoyed fast food too much to give it up. About 44 percent in the US claimed they would be unable to stop eating hamburgers, pizzas and chicken wings, making the country second in the world's junk food league. The third place went to the United Arab Emirates, where 35 percent are junk­food lovers.
The research also found that attitudes to food and weight vary wildly around the world. Those in the UK and US believed lack of self­discipline was the main factor behind growing waistlines (腰围). They can't deny themselves that hamburger or extra piece of pizza, but “make themselves feel better by washing it down with a diet coke”， the study suggested.
The French, on the other hand, seem to keep a watchful eye on their weight. They get on the scales every day. Only 19 percent of the French surveyed admitted a fondness for fast food.
Thierry Pailleux, of France, from the market research firm that conducted the poll, said the French valued the combination of good food and company. Sharing classic food and time with loved ones is key to the French sensibility. “French people take care of their image as a matter of course. Being thin is part of our culture and a point of pride. We are known for it，” said Pailleux. “On top of this, there is increasing awareness of the devastation (伤害) that obesity can cause to one's health.”
40．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．A study of different attitudes towards fast food.
B．How popular fast food is in foreign countries.
C．Different countries' attitudes towards food and body weight.
D．A study of how popular fast food is in foreign countries.
41．The research shows that ________．
A．Americans are proud of the fast foods they eat
B．those British who love fast foods do not care about their body weight
C．the British would like to think that other foods they eat make up for eating occasional fast food
D．most Americans believe the enjoyment of food is more important than its possible effect on their waistlines
42．What's the meaning of the underlined word “obsessed” in the third paragraph?
A．Crazy. B．Obese. C．Opposed. D．Neutral.
43．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A．British people dislike the fast food best.
B．British people enjoy the fast food best.
C．Americans would be unable to eat hamburgers, pizzas and chicken wings.
D．People in the United Arab Emirates do not like fast food very much.

It has taken Jeremy Lin, a Harvard­educated Chinese­American, less than a week to come out from nowhere and become the latest international phenomenon in the NBA. On the evening of February 14, Lin's game­winning 3­pointer shot in the last seconds secured the New York Knicks their sixth victory in a row.
“Lin was born in America，” says Ma. “He has no language and cultural barriers and he is familiar with the NBA.” Lin also has a growing group of fans. On social media, he has more than one million followers on Weibo, compared to his almost 400，000 followers on Twitter. Others admire Lin, a university graduate, for striking a balance between education and sports. “In China, if you want to be a sports star, you go to sports schools to train and train and forget about attending a regular college，” says Dragon TV's Wang. “Lin is an excellent basketball player who also went to Harvard, and that is why he is such an inspiring example for the Chinese.”
Lin also inspires Chinese Americans like Shawn Shieh, editor of the China Development Brief, an English­language journalist who, like Lin, has ties with Taiwan and the mainland. “As a group we tend to be seen as sports challenged，” Shieh explains. “The stereotype is that we do excellently in math or the violin, so having someone like him who stands out in mainstream American sports is refreshing. It brings a new dimension to who we are and what we can be. He also represents the American dream because of his weaker status.”
Lin was overlooked by most NBA teams until the New York Knicks, desperately looking for a point guard, picked him. He also earns much less than many of his teammates.
But here comes the question: how long will Lin's magical run last? “Playing in the NBA is hard and tiring work and he is not used to playing the minutes，” notes Hawke, who watched Lin play for his high school team in Palo Alto, California. “Opponents will get physical with him. When Carmelo Anthony (Knicks' superstar) comes back (from injury), his minutes may go down.” Still, former national team player Ma gives Lin a fair chance to score well. “He can use his high basketball IQ to make up for his physical disadvantages，” he says.
44．Which of the following is true about Jeremy Lin according to Paragraph 1?
A．He shined once entering the NBA. B．He became famous overnight.
C．He is not that well­educated. D．He once beat the New York Knicks.
45．The last paragraph mainly tells us that ________．
A．Lin has many strong opponents and his good performance won't last long
B．Lin can't be defeated by some of his opponents in physical condition
C．Lin's success in basketball is accidental for his high basketball IQ
D．Lin will face great challenges from his opponents for his weakness
46．What's the best title for the passage?
A．Jeremy Lin's Market Value B．One of the Greatest Players in NBA
C．Jeremy Lin—Refreshing Role Model D．Follow Jeremy Lin to Be a Sports Star
D
Although Americans have embraced social media sites such as Facebook, they are uncomfortable about sharing information about their salaries, according to a new survey.
The poll of 2，118 people showed that more than three out of four participated in a social network site but they leaned more toward posting things like restaurant reviews or vacation photos.
“In this era (时代) of over­sharing, people tend to clam up (拒不开口) on a couple of topics, one of which is salary，” said Rusty Rueff, a career expert at Glassdoor. com, an employment website which conducted the poll.
The survey also showed that about 55 to 70 percent of people did not mind sharing non­personal information, but they were more guarded about their children's activities and their household purchases.
Rueff said that fear and societal norms (准则) are behind the reluctance to share job and pay information.
The study also found out that more women than men were likely to use social networking sites and people 18 to 34 years old were more inclined (倾向) to share information on relationships, employment status and career advancement than other age groups.
