Most observers would not think a tiny new-build flat in a city centre oversupplied with similar homes would be a candidate for such a prize. But exclusive analysis' for The Times from the estate agent Savills shows how the decline in house prices since 2007 has driven up the headline yields in some areas, such as Nottingham, Merseyside and Manchester, when 6 fast-recovering prices have driven them down in Bristol, Edinburgh and Bournemouth.Amateur buy-to-let investors are commonly instructed to check the yield of an investment before commit 7 to buy. The yield is the proportion of the property's value that the owner makes back each year in rent, a higher yield implying a better returnfrom 8 the investment. Savills' analysis of data supplied by the property search website shows how the yield is, on average, as many 9 as 6.04 per cent for a one-bedroom flat and as low as 3.87 per cent for a four-bedroom house. Lucian Cook, a director of research at Savills, says: "The yieldvery 10 depends on the type of property that you are looking at."Amateur investors with access to cash are enjoying a window of opportunity while 11 professional rivals struggle to get credit from risk-averse lenders. But the injunction to mimic these professionals by analysing yields can obscure the truth that yields rise when property values fall. An investor who chases high yields may risk in 12 buying properties with depressed pricesthat have no chance of recovering quickly, while overlooking homesthat are likely to undergo a sustainable 13 increase in value.Aspiring investors who would prefer to focus on potentialcapital gains over the long term are being thwarted by banks and building societies, which 14 refuse to lend unless applicants can show a rent that is large in comparison to theproperty's value and will generously more 15 covermortgage payments, as 16 if the landlord suffers a long "void" period with no tenant. Few lenders are much minded to bet on capital growth after the sudden slowdown in the housing market that began in 2007. But these lenders—and buyers who take their advice—risk overlooking the new two-tier market which 17 sought-after homes in key areas have recovered to boomtime highs and will continue to perform well. Elsewhere, values are languishing.Those hoping to join into 18 the ranks of the buy-to-let investors might be tempted to buy into those markets with low-cost homes and a ready army of frustrating 19 buyersforced to stay in the rental market.The buy-to-let boom was built on debt. Remember the savvy landlords who boasted, as house prices soared,building 20 up portfolios by mortgaging and then remortgaging to release the funds for ever more homes? But just as banks are easing restrictions on someparticular 21 solvent owner-occupiers, they areincreasingly tight-fisted when buy-to-let investors apply for funds. Lenders' suspicious 22 about buy-to-let prospects comejust as agents predict that the departure of the "accidental landlord"—or the homeowners who rented their property out becausethey could not sell—will bolster the market and help to boost rents, especially in the later 23 part of the year.Yet despite of 24 these conditions, it's notamateurs who are suffering—even if 25 longstanding landlords with carefully managed portfolios and an impeccablefinancial record are finding lenders almost closed for business. Will rates rise—making standard deals unaffordable—more quickly than new entrants willing to lend to buy-to-let investors can enter the market? For now, the investment market, like the mainstream, is one inwhich 26 with cash are king.6.正确答案：when→while7.正确答案：commit→committing8.正确答案：from→on9.正确答案：many→high10.正确答案：very→后面加much11.正确答案：while→as12.正确答案：in→in去掉13.正确答案：sustainable→sustained14.正确答案：which→who15.正确答案：more→more去掉16.正确答案：as→even17.正确答案：which→in which18.正确答案：into→into去掉19.正确答案：frustrating→frustrated20.正确答案：building→of building21.正确答案：particular→particularly22.正确答案：suspicious→suspicion23.正确答案：later→latter24.正确答案：of→of去掉25.正确答案：if→if去掉26.正确答案：which→后面加thoseSection 2 Reading ComprehensionThe Sense of HumorBiologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divide world, laughteris a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin's early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, 'Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way.'A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop-sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Humanpain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind outof pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satiristlike Swift writes about war in Gulliver's Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can't agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish.The sense of humor must be singled out as man's most important quality because it is associated with laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative—these are qualities we share with other forms of fife. But the senseof humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.1. It seems that the author of this writing thinks that ______A.the universe and the world is full of humor and humans are the most humorous.B.the universe does not have as much humor as the people can enjoy.C.animals do not have humor and they cannot laugh whereas humanbeings do and can.D.animals do not have humor, though they can laugh the same as men.正确答案：C[解析] 第一段的主题句已明显交待了这样的一个论点：only men can laugh and use satire.2. The statement in the first paragraph that "human relations maybe plagued by ideological factions and political camps" is meant to say that ______A.people may suffer from the fierce struggle between political platforms of parties.B.people may be bewildered by different opinions of differentpolitical parties.C.the ideiological differences between political parties may harm human relations.D.the political parties and their spheres may bring some disease to human relations.正确答案：A[解析] 文中提到的be plagued by ideological factions and political camps的意思是：人深受政治争斗所害，进而成为政治分裂的牺牲品。

It implies that there is a (1) for everything and that each thing used finds its way (2) to its place by a continuos process, not by a spasmodic (3) . The process depends, however, upon the drawer, cupboard and storage (4) being provided, for lack of which one things may literally have (5) place to go.

The aesthetic (12) depends, in turn, upon storage space.(13) it may be true that no house ever had cupboards enough, (14) are some houses which have practically no cupboards (15) all.

The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times areeasy to find.To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose body or mind “hurts” will often pay any amount of money for the promise of relief. Second, even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that beset men and women. People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to more sympathetic ears.Many people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical claims. Given the choice between (a) a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long, expensive and may not work at all, and (b) a salesperson who says that several bottles of a secret formula “snake oil” will cure not only can cer but tuberculosis as well, some individuals will opt for “snake oil”.Many “snake oil” remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic drugs. Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or stoned that they drown their pains in the rising tide of pleasant intoxication. Little wonder that “snake oil” is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts! But let there be no misunderstandings. A very few “home remedies” actually work. However, most remedies sold by quacks are not only useless, but often can be harmful as well.71. In this passage, a quack or a charlatan is someone who ____.A. has a special abilityB. has little knowledgeC. is not a good doctorD. pretends to be a doctor72.

People who seek the advice of quacks and charlatans are those who ____.A. are poorly educatedB. are highly educatedC. dislike medical treatmentsD. mistrust physicians’ truths75. To evaluate medical claims, one must ____.A. turn to reputable doctorsB. make an adequate choiceC. have the necessary trainingD.. disbelieve promise of relief 76. According to the author, a very few home remedies are ____.A. uselessB. harmfulC. pleasantD. effective77. Which of the following statements is NOT trueA.

Many individuals opt for “snake oil” because they ____.A. are misled by a secret formulaB. cannot afford a treatmentC. lack medical knowledgeD. do not trust physicians79. “Snake oil” is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts because it has ____. A. actually worked B. some fruit stonesC. been misunderstoodD. alcohol or narcotic drugs80. Which of the following would be the best title of this passageA. Distrust of PhysiciansB. Medical TreatmentC. Snake Oil RemediesD. Guard Against QuackeryQuestions 81 — 90 are based on the following passage.Modern industrial society grants little status to old people. In fact, such a society has a system of built-in obsolescence. There is no formal system for continuing our education throughout our life in order to keep up with rapidly changing knowledge. When our education and job skills have grown obsolete, we are treated exactly like those who have never gained an education or job skills and are not encouraged or given the opportunity to begin anew.As a society becomes more highly developed, the overall status of older people diminishes. Improved health technology creates a large pool of old people, whocompete for jobs with the young. However, economic technology lowers the demand for workers and creates new jobs for which the skills of the aged are obsolete, forcing older people into retirement. At the same time, young people are being educated in the new technology and are keeping pace with rapid changes in knowledge. Finally, urbanization creates age-segregated neighborhoods. Because the old live on fixed incomes, they must often live in inferior housing. All these factors —retirement, obsolete knowledge and skills, inferior standards of living —lower the status of the aged in society.A century ago, when one could expect to live only to 50 or so, the life span more or less coincided with the occupation and family cycle. But today the average life span allows for fifteen to twenty years of life after these cycles. It appears that our life span is outpacing our usefulness in society.81. By “a system of build-in obsolescence” the author means ___.A. no formal systems exist in modern industrial societyB. old people have no status in modern industrial societyC. young people have chances in modern industrial societyD. knowledge changes rapidly in modern industrial society82. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is trueA. People don’t have to gain education.B. People don’t have to learn job skills.C. People don’t have to be treated as equals.D. People do n’t have chances to begin anew.83. The more highly developed a society is, ____.A. the more advanced technology will beB. the larger the number of people will beC. the more diminished old people’s status will beD. the lower the overall status of the people will be84. The high development of economic technology ____.A. makes job skills out of fashionB. lowers the demand for workersC. forces old people into retirementD. creates new jobs for older people85. Which of the following statements is NOT trueA. Retired people could only live on fixed incomes.B. Retired people are more skillful than young people.C. Young people are educated in the new technology.D. Young people are keeping pace with rapid changes.86. According to this passage, the status of the aged is lowered by their ____.A. forced retirementB. inferior housingC. longer life spanD. fixed incomes87. The sentence “our life span outpaces our usefulness” means we can live longer ____.A. and make progressB. and do more workC. but move slowlyD. but become useless88. The author’s attitude toward the aged is ____.A. realisticB. optimisticC. pessimisticD. sympathetic89. It can be deduced from this passage that one should ____.A. learn new skillsB. be open-mindedC. have a good personalityD. keep pace with the times 90. Which of the following would be the best title for this passageA. The Problem of AgingB. Social StructuresC. Economic TechnologyD. Continuing EducationQuestions 91 — 100 are based on the following passage.When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit,with the alpha rhythm predominating for the first few minutes. This is the first stage of sleep. For the next 30 minutes or so, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. About 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will reach the last stage. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. You may think that you stay at this deep stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. About 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for 8-15 minutes and is called REM sleep. During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but capable of movement. As you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs — most of the voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving. REM sleep is accompanied by extensive muscular inhibition.91.

After you have reached the deepest sleep, ____.A. you will stay at the fourth stage the rest of the nightB. you will lose your consciousness for 40-60 minutesC. your brain waves will show the delta rhythmD. your brain waves will show the alpha rhythm95. In the REM sleep, ____.A. the delta rhythm will disappearB. the activity pattern will appearC. something will occur in front of youD. your eyes will begin to dart around96. You will fall into the fourth stage of sleep ____.A. about 80 minutes after you fall into slumberB. some 10 minutes after you fall into REM sleepC. about 40 minutes after you lose consciousnessD. some 30 minutes after you brain waves slow97.

In every society, some punishments or negative sanctions are established for deviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need for social control and without social control there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable.Social control may be either formal or informal. Informalmechanisms include expressions of disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization. This is any group' s most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individual J s own conscience operates as an agent of social control. When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions; mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents function to limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theorists would also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define unacceptable behavior.Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First, it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated.1.Social control refers to processes by which.A.norms are developedB.norms are enforcedC.people are educated and trainedD.people are rewarded and punished2.Every society has its own.A.planned systemsB.controlled normsC.recognized boundaryD.established sanctionsrmal mechanisms of social control include the following EXCEPT.A. a high level of interest in ensuring conformityB.expression of disapproval by significant othersC.withholding of positive rewards for the deviantsD.people' s internalization of norms in socialization4.The most powerful protection against deviance is.A.negative sanctionsB.severe punishmentsC.the individuaT s conscienceD.unrestrained suppression5.Formal agents of social control include the following EXCEPTA.police stationsB.mental hospitalsC.welfare agenciesD.vocational schools6.The purpose of formal agents is to.A.make beneficial rulesB.preserve social ordersC.control violation of normsD.define acceptable behavior7.Which statement about social control agents is NOT true?A.They tend to serve the interest of those who enforce the norms.B.They tend to serve the interest of those who receive a benefit.C.They tend to serve the interest of those who make the rules.D.They tend to serve the interest of those who are powerful.8.According to conflict theorists, social control agents and systems are.A.liberalB.partialC.neutralD.overall9.In the third paragraph, u a dual function n refers to.A.formal and informalB.rewards and penalitiesC.approval and disapprovalD.clarification and regulation10.The perspective from which the author discusses social control is.A. biologicalB. sociologicalC. psychologicalD. anthropological参考答案：1-5 BADCD 6-10 CBBDB维护世界和平，促进共同发展，谋求合作共赢，是各国人民的共同愿望，也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。

But the necessity of SOMETHING besides accuracy of response may be brought out by the {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}}{{/U}}consideration: Suppose two persons, of whom one believed {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}the other disbelieved, and disbelieved whatever the other {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}.

A thermometer {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}went down for warm weather and up for cold might be just as {{U}} {{U}} 21 {{/U}} {{/U}}as the usual kind; and a person who always believes falsely is just as {{U}} {{U}} 22 {{/U}} {{/U}}an instrument as a person who always believes truly.

Man has found many interesting ways to take his bath. The earliest records often mention the use of rivers for bathing. The Bible speaks of the healing waters of the River Jordan. Egyptian history mentions bathing in the Nile. And the Hindus have believed for centuries that the Ganges River has the power to clean the soul, as well as the body.Several thousand years ago, the {{U}} {{U}} 31 {{/U}} {{/U}}of the island of Crete, in the eastern Mediterranean, built {{U}} {{U}} 32 {{/U}} {{/U}}with running water. The early Jews took ceremonial baths on {{U}} {{U}} 33 {{/U}} {{/U}}occasions, making use of oils and ointments. The {{U}} {{U}} 34 {{/U}} {{/U}}also had a custom of bathing the feet of all strangers that came {{U}} {{U}} 35 {{/U}} {{/U}}their gate. This friendly custom is still practiced in parts of Palestine. Swimming was {{U}} {{U}} 36 {{/U}} {{/U}}among the Greeks of antiquity. By the third century {{U}} {{U}} 37 {{/U}} {{/U}}Christ, almost every Greek city of a certain size had at least one {{U}} {{U}} 38 {{/U}} {{/U}}bath. The wealthy classes had private baths and pools, some of {{U}} {{U}} 39 {{/U}} {{/U}}were beautifully decorated.Many of the public baths that the Romans {{U}} {{U}} 40 {{/U}} {{/U}}utilized natural mineral springs. Since most of these {{U}} {{U}} 41 {{/U}} {{/U}}were naturally warm, the Romans took advantage of this {{U}} {{U}} 42 {{/U}} {{/U}}hot water. By the time of the Roman Emperors these baths were often {{U}} {{U}} 43 {{/U}} {{/U}}in large, marble buildings. The baths built by the {{U}} {{U}} 44 {{/U}} {{/U}}Caracalla, in the center of Rome, covered about one {{U}} {{U}} 45 {{/U}} {{/U}}mile and could hold sixteen thousand people.The Roman baths were as richly ornamented as a {{U}} {{U}} 46 {{/U}} {{/U}}. The floors were of marble and mosaic. And statues {{U}} {{U}} 47 {{/U}} {{/U}}the walls. There were rooms in which the Romans could eat, read {{U}} {{U}} 48 {{/U}} {{/U}}and even watch plays. The baths included swimming pools, {{U}} {{U}} 49 {{/U}} {{/U}}baths, steam baths and hot air baths.While public baths kept the {{U}} {{U}} 50 {{/U}} {{/U}}clean, they also helped to undermine their character. Men would send the entire day relaxing lazily in these beautiful buildings. In fact, a famous Roman philosopher, Seneca, said the Romans were not satisfied unless they were ornamented with precious stones. While the men were being massaged and rubbed with perfumes and oils, they discussed their favorite games and gladiators. Sometimes wealthy bathers had the whole tub or pool filled with wines or perfumes. Many of the roman women bathed in milk: the Emperor's wife kept five hundred donkeys to carry the milk for her bath!As a result of all this bath-oriented frivolity, the early fathers of the Christian church forbade Christians to bathe for pleasure. They were permitted to bathe only for hygienic reasons.（分数：40.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：inhabitants）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：baths）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：certain）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：Jews）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：within）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：popular）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：before）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：public）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：which）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：built）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：springs）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：free）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：housed）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：Emperor）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：square）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：palace）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：lined）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：scrolls）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：warm）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：Romans）解析：。

border between Israel and Palestine,"says Muhammad Hamudi, an olive farmer and olive oil producer from Asira al-Shamaliya,near Nablus in the West Bank.He has been working with the ongoing USAID-funded project Olive Oil Without Borders(OOWB.since its start in2011.Hamudi is in his mid-50s,with smiling eyes and palms so big that an olive looks tiny in them. "Today the border is here,tomorrow it will be there.The olive oil market has no borders as well.The bridge to the global market is the same bridgefor everyone."OOWB is a collaborative economic initiative among34olive oil farming communities in Israel and the West Bank.It is spearheaded by the Near East Foundation(NEF.,a100-year-old nongovernmental organization working on economic development among poverty-stricken communities throughout Africa and the Middle East.The initiative is funded by USAID,which provides financial and operative assistance to foreign nations and regions in need. The program has been successful enough that USAID has just granted OOWB its second US$1.2million round of funding,expected to serve some2,000 Palestinians and Israelis working in the olive oil business over the course of three years.Hamudi,one of the project's success stories,points out Salah Abu-Eisheh, NEF country director for the Palestinian authority."During the three-year run,he has tripled his production,improved significantly the quality and purity of his olive oil,and increased his income."Hamudi smiles when he hears Abu-Eisheh say this."NEF helped me achieve a sustained level of productivity,"Hamudi says."No more bad years and good years;now I am in control of the yield."This success is due in large part to direct grants farmers like Hamudi received for purchasing modern equipment,renovating facilities(such as mills),and planting new varieties of olive trees.The rest of the USAID funding goes to conducting seminars and hands-on workshops led by industry consultants, from agriculture and olive oil production to business management and marketing.Yet Palestinian farmers are only half of the OOWB equation:Israeli farmers and producers provide the necessary cross-border collaboration for this innovative and seemingly conflict-free program.When I ask Hamudi about his experience collaborating with hisIsraeli-Jewish counterparts,his answer is pragmatic."I see it as an exchange. We have things to teach,and they have things to teach.They use modern techniques,we have experience and knowledge.The benefits are for both sides. We have no other choices."But for a region stuck in political conflict,collaborating is a choice—and quite an unusual one.Ayala Noy,a40-year-old farmer and producer from the Israeli side,approaches the project from a different perspective:"It was a very important and empowering experience.Sitting down with a Palestinian farmer who tells me,with tears in his eyes,that his orchard was burned to the ground the previous night by Israeli settlers was very emotional for me. 'How do you sleep at night?'he asked me.I told him not very well.That was the biggest challenge for me—being a representative of Israel,dealing with the hard feelings they have toward us."Although one of OOWB's stated goals is to"leverage economic cooperation to promote peace and reconciliation,"according to NEF President Charlie Benjamin,the organization approaches its work from"a completely depoliticized perspective."The focus is on"building economic relationships. We don't touch the border issue."At the same time,Benjamin does acknowledge the growing trust,communication,and interaction outside the program.Noy agrees that the project has strengthened more than economic ties."We brought Palestinians to our house,we showed them our mill,and we try tokeep in touch by phone,"she says."I think it gave them a chance to see'other' Israelis.Many of them told me that was their first time to meet an Israeli who is not a soldier,or a settler."61、What information about OOWB is released from the passage?______A．It was founded in the early1980s.B．It receives financial support from USAID.C．It only supports olive farmers in Palestine.D．It is a political organization for seeking peace talks.62、The word"collaborative"underlined in Paragraph2is synonymous to ______.A．advanced B．dynamicC．cooperative D．progressive63、According to Paragraph2,which of the following statements is NOT true of NEF?______A．It is a part of the Israeli government.B．It has a history of100years.C．It aims at reducing poverty.D．It produces great results.64、From Paragraph3,we learn that Hamudi's olive production before he received support from NEF could only be described as______.A．disagreeable B．reliableC．stable D．unpredictable65、Besides providing direct grants to farmers,the USAID funding is also earmarked for______.A．running training courses B．building business schools C．purchasing industrial equipment D．consulting with legal departments66、What role do Israeli farmers'play in OOWB?______A．They try their best to stay out of it.B．They monitor it cautiously.C．They lend it a helping hand whenever needed.D．They turn a blind eye to its development.67、The word"pragmatic"underlined in Paragraph6is synonymous to______.A．ironic B．realisticC．majestic D．enthusiastic68、What is the biggest challenge for Ayala Noy?______A．He lacks modern equipment.B．He faces resentment from the Palestinians.C．He operates on the technical request.D．He tries to receive adequate funding for the region.69、The main topic of Paragraph8is that OOWB______.A．acts as an ambassador between the two countriesB．gets involved in economic activities onlyC．exerts political influence on the border tensionD．ignores the border between the two countries70、The Israeli-Palestinian collaboration in the project could be described as______.A．competitive B．imperativeC．peaceful D．resentfulAt the end of a recent feast at Restaurant Revolution in New Orleans,I ordered a cup of hot tea and was presented with an elegant silver kettle filled with an intoxicatingly aromatic lemon brew.Another notable meal enjoyed not long ago at Fixe in Austin began with their house-iced tea,a black tea and fruit blend customized for them by a local"tea guru."Tea has been a cherished beverage in the eastern hemisphere since the third millennium B.C.,but didn't make its way to the UK until late in the17th century,where it enjoyed immediate popularity.Another two centuries later,southerners in the United States began drinking their sweet and iced tea, but not until recently has tea appreciation started to spread throughout the rest of North America.These days,it's not uncommon to find Earl Grey in your cocktail or learn that your fried chicken was cooked in the stuff."I believe tea is still in its infancy in our country,"says Zhena Muzyka, owner of Zhena's Gypsy Tea,a Fair Trade CertifiedTM organic tea company, now in its13th year."It's the second-most-consumed beverage in the world, but the sixth-most-consumed in the U.S."But like a newborn,the U.S.tea industry is growing fast.Since1990, Americans have quadrupled their tea consumption,bringing it to aUS$10-billion industry in2014,according to the Tea Association of the U.S. Tea imports to the U.S.have grown by70percent in the last two decades alone. Starbucks,which started selling more than two dozen varieties of loose-leaf tea at their first location in Seattle,bought high-end tea-shop chain Teavana in2012.The concurrent artisanal food and beverage trend means that as more Americans learn to appreciate a cup of tea,they're also more interested in the source of the leaves,making"Fair Trade"tea particularly attractive. Fair Trade U.S.calculates that just between2012and2013,Fair Trade Certified tea—produced by cooperatives and farms—imports jumped by26 percent.Fair Trade certification ensures that farmers are guaranteed safe working conditions as well as a sustainable wage and fair capital,determined by the prices they set for their products.All workers also receive a Fair Trade premium,which they may choose to invest back into their farm or community."I believe that Americans love Fair Trade—they've backed it and bought it even when the economy was trashed,"Muzyka says,recalling when tea first joined coffee,bananas,and cocoa on the short list of available Fair Trade Certified products.Muzyka has visited Sri Lanka,India and China many times,growing closer with each visit to the families who grow and harvest the tea she uses for her blends.On conventional farms,a tea worker's daily quota is17.6pounds of tea per day,or about16,000individual plucks of leaves,she says.This strenuous work is usually done on steep hillsides at altitudes of5,000feet or higher,and workers collect leaves into large baskets on their backs,which are held in place by a forehead strap.Back when she was starting her company,Muzyka spent several years educating consumers and buyers at major grocery stores to choose Fair Trade suppliers over those without the certification."I showed them the photos I'd taken in the conventional fields,and explained that the workers were being paid US$1.35a day and unable to feed their families,"she says.71、The two cases described in Paragraph1show that______.A．restaurants aim at making more profits by selling expensive tea B．tea is enjoying increasingly great popularityC．tea containers should be different from those for other beveragesD．there should be more varieties of tea in U.S.restaurants72、The main idea of Paragraph2is______.A．the gradual acceptance of tea in different regionsB．the different ways of drinking tea in North and South AmericasC．the UK's dominance in the tea marketD．the history of picking tea leaves in China73、The phrase"Earl Grey"underlined in Paragraph2refers to______.A．a traditional dish B．a tropical fruitC．a tea brand D．a restaurant74、The word"infancy"underlined in Paragraph3is used as a rhetorical device termed______.A．simile B．personificationC．metaphor D．exaggeration75、Tea consumption in the U.S.is______.A．starting not long B．growing fastC．facing great challenges D．falling gradually76、The main idea of Paragraph6is______.A．farmers'complaints about taxesB．the key to pricing farm productsC．benefits from Fair Trade certificationD．the guide to farmers'investment77、The word"backed"underlined in Paragraph7means______.A．supported B．sharedC．sustained D．strengthened78、The word"strenuous"underlined in Paragraph8means______.A．difficult B．dangerousC．diligent D．different79、Muzyka is______tea workers.A．indifferent to B．doubtful aboutC．content with D．sympathetic with80、Muzyka tried to educate consumers at grocery stores to______.A．set preferential prices over qualityB．donate money to poor farmersC．understand the process of certificationD．support Fair Trade suppliersToday the long-awaited,much-heralded Apple Watch goes on sale.Touted by the company as its"most personal device yet,"it promises everything from quicker"interactions and technology"to a more intimate experience with our watches,whatever that might mean.The tech juggernaut,known for its cult-like devotion and grand live-streamed announcements,welcomes new product launches like Elvis just entered the building,with long lines of fans camped at local stores,and hysteria quickly hitting a fever pitch.Along with online launch countdowns and mass speculation,the company's hype always raises questions of whether their latest product will bring on the future of"X"—whether it's tech,retail,communication,or,really,take your pick.Basically,anything Apple does is a big deal.The Apple Watch,which comes at several price points,from the"moderately priced"US$350Apple Watch Sport to the$15,000luxurious Apple Watch Edition, has received pre-orders from over2.3million consumers and counting. Geek-chic watches have been around for decades,but the design of the iWatch, masterminded by Apple Senior Vice-President of Design and usability"god" Jony Ive,is expected to break the mold of what we can expect from all future time-telling gadgets,not just in terms of functionality but also mass production.This great leap forward,however,has just as much a foot in the past as the future—specifically,in an influential German design movement that grew out of the chaos of World War I,aiming to reinvent a more ordered and just society through great design.The Bauhaus school shifted between Weimar (1919-1925),Dessau(1925-1932)and Berlin(1932-1933)during Germany's most pivotal years,and acted as an innovation incubator,not unlike Apple's Design Lab.In both instances,a team of dedicated practitioners thought they could alleviate the alienation of modem society through more personal consumer products,clean lines,and user-friendly interfaces.In other words,a revolution centered on aesthetics that benefited the people.In1915,the visionary Walter Gropius,considered by many to be one of the first masters of modern architecture,began to develop his plan for a "purely organic building,"which declared"its inner laws,free of untruths or ornamentation."This"building"was more of a metaphor than a physical object,and extended beyond the concept of architecture to encompass product design,packaging,and even furniture.Not unlike Steve Jobs,Gropius was single-minded,and could be unwavering and brutally direct in his mission. As the head of the Bauhaus school in Weimar,he recognized the need to surround himself with a team of talented collaborators,instructors,and designers, on-boarding some of the biggest names in contemporary arts,including Paul Klee,Josef Albers,Herbert Bayer,Lazlo Moholy-Nagy and Vassily Kandinsky—names that history would prove incandescent creators.New-media artist Anthony Antonellis is one of those inspired by both modern technology and the Bauhaus's approach toward design education.Antonellis, who gained notoriety for his tech-inspired work and turning himself into a cyborg by implanting an RFID chip in his arm,studied at the current Bauhaus Dessau.He explained to me that the Bauhaus system,handed down by Gropius, is still resonant today."I arrived where I am as a direct result of my studies in Weimar.I studied alongside other artists,students in media,architects, craftsmen,product designers,graphic designers,and all these disciplines taught and learned from each other in a profound exchange of ideas and approaches."So whether you pre-ordered your watch online,or are part of the horde checking it out in stores,when you snap on your Apple Watch,just remember: It took literally thousands of brilliant thinkers and over a century of work to bring you that tiny,dazzling device.81、From Paragraph1,we know that the author's attitude toward the Apple product campaign is______.A．enthusiastic B．indifferentC．disapproving D．neutral82、The word"hysteria"underlined in Paragraph1means______.A．amazement B．revelationC．excitement D．contempt83、We can predict from the public response to the Apple iWatch that the sales of this product will be______.A．disappointed B．promisingC．troublesome D．unpredictable84、Which of the following statements is NOT true of the iWatch?______。
