Boxwars is a fast-growing entertainment phenomenon that takes the childhood pastime of playing with cardboard boxes to a whole new level. Participants use cardboard to create weapons, trucks, tanks, huge animals and so on. Then they put on monumental battle shows during which every creation is completely destroyed!
Boxwars is the brainchild of Australian friends Hoss Siegel and Ross Koger, who came up with it nearly a decade ago over drinks. They did it at a party and had a great time, and then they decided to do it again.
With each new boxwar party, the suits and structures became more and more carefully prepared until they couldn't fit in their back gardens any more. So they moved the party to a local park on Boxing Day 2002, and people who were having barbecues at the park rushed over to watch them. And that's when they realized that their silly games actually had huge entertainment value.
That was the beginning of Boxwars. They go to the same spot every year on Boxing day.
Today, Boxwars builds complex structures for each themed battle. The sport has expanded beyond Boxing Day – it is now a part of nearly every major festival or event in Australia and around the world.
Boxwars is now run by the Boxwars Council, and has lots of fans across the globe. ―One of our main aims is to bring cardboard back to the consumers who deserted it in the first place without realising its true pot ential,‖ the official website states. ―Cardboard, or the street name ?box‘, we quickly discovered, had brilliant properties for engineering. The limits of scale and awesomeness were continuously pushed to greater commanding heights with the development of our skills with this great thing.‖
28．What can we infer about Boxwars?
A．America is its birthplace.
B．It is considered to be a waste of money.
C．Its first appearance was on Boxing Day 2002.
D．All the weapons made for it will be destroyed.
29．What is a main purpose mentioned in the text to run Boxwars?
A．To prepare people for possible war.
B．To exercise children‘s ability of using hands.
C．To make people realize the use of deserted box.
D．To provide a chance to satisfy people's curiosity.
30．What did Hoss Siegel and Ross Koger think of their idea of Boxwars at first?
A．Significant and popular. B．Fun but foolish.
C．Interesting but expensive. D．Challenging but beneficial.
31．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Boxwars – a creative design B．Boxwars– a popular game
C．Boxwars– a new kind of box D．Boxwars– a fierce competition
D
An image is worth a thousand kilos? Okay, so maybe not a thousand kilos, exactly, but a study shows how a photo diary can keep dieters motivated, making them more likely to achieve their target weight.
Elías Kuzmar Daza, a medical professional from Colombia, studied the motivation levels of patients on weight loss programs at a nutrition clinic.
Different measurements were taken of the patients each week, including body mass index （指）food and exercise diaries, etc. to record their progress. In addition, full-body photographs were taken each week, which proved to be very motivating and a key factor in patients completing the full program.
Over the course of the sixteen-week program, a full ninety percent of patients, aged between 16 and 72, saw the treatment through to the end, with seventy percent successfully meeting their weight loss aims. Among those monitored, one measurement proved particularly motivating: waistline.
This finding indicates that the majority of the patients who attended the clinic did so motivated by image, rather than any underlying condition. It should be pointed out that eighty percent of them were female.
Another useful finding of this study was that patients did not necessarily need to attend the clinic in person for the program to be effective. A support line was set up, which patients could call to submit their measurements. They also took and sent their own full-body photographs to the researcher. Fifty percent of patients completed the program in this way.
Summarizing the findings, Kuzmar says: ―What patients want is a photo, rather than cold numbers.‖ These photos serve as visual confirmation that all their hard work is paying off, encouraging them on to further weight loss.
32．What is the purpose of the study?
A．To show losing weight is very easy.
B．To compare several ways to lose weight.
C．To prove the effect of images in weight losing.
D．To see how many people can lose weight successfully.
33．How many patients in the clinic reached their weight-loss goals?
A．50%. B．70%. C．80%. D．90%.
34．What can give people most motivation when they are trying to lose weight?
A．Friends' encouragement. B．Others' strong muscles.
C．Their slimmer waistline. D．Their standard blood pressure.
35．What must the patients do to complete the weight –loss program?
A．Go to the clinic every week. B．Call to submit their measurements.
C．Report to the professional every day.
D．Take full-body photographs each week.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 36
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 38
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 39 The synapses(神经键) in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi‘s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night`s sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information —our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40 ―You keep what matters,‖ Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It‘s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That‘s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. ―Sleep is the price we pay for learning,‖ says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi‘s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

Dear Jack，
It‘s time to say goodbye to you. It‘s also time to look back on those happy days we spent together. You are the kindest and the most humorous person who made me spend the camping days happily. Still remember the first day we met? I cried because I was at a loss about what to do and missed my parents so much. Seeing this, you came to me like an angel, chatting with me to help me get through the first sleepless night. Without your help, I could not have adjusted myself to the new environment quickly.
Long live our friendship! May all your dreams come true!
Yours,
Li hua
