If we have 41 around or changed our life situation 42 ,we may be lucky enough to have had several. The best friend relationship is often our earliest 43 peer relationship, and it can be a source of great warmth and 44 throughout our lives. The characteristics of best friendship change as we grow up and grow older, but the heart of it remains the 45 . Our best friends are a warm shelter in which we feel free to be fully ourselves, to share our deepest secrets, to 46 when we are overtaken by tiredness, to have a 47 when there is something nice to happen in our life--a place in which we feel completely welcome to give and receive that most 48 of all gifts, love.Most close relationships do face 49 from time to time, and one of the characteristics of an enduring best friendship is its ability to 50 the storms and to remain unbroken even as it faces changes.

North BeachB. Xpu Ha BeachC. Wet n’ Wild PaterparkD. Playa Brujas62.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Playa Brujas is close to Mazatlan and lies along the east coast of MexicoB. North Beach is the finest beach in the Yucatan Peninsula for its private locationC. Tourists can rent some equipment at Xpu Ha Beach, which is as busy as othersD. When a couple choose a beach with children, Playa la Audiencia is their best choiceBIf two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the atmosphere--and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions(排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel(燃料): gasoline or jet fuel.This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycle--equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed--would mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic(合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming.Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the conc ept has been built, is operating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said.The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals.There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory: it requires a great deal of energy.According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details had not been published. “It’s definitely worth pursuing,” said Martin I. Hoffert, a professor of physics at New York University. “It’s not that new an idea. It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting.”63.What is the value of the scientists’ proposal?A. It increases the productivity of a fuel factoryB. It decreases the cost of producing gasolineC. It reduces the pollution caused by car drivingD. It promotes a new idea of environmental protection64.The underlined part “has a close cousin that is operating” probably means the technology in the concept .A. has been popular for so longB. has been ignored by many peopleC. is not appropriate for practiceD. will be put into practice in the near future65.What is the biggest challenge in realizing the concept Green Freedom?A. There is no theoretical basisB. It is not economically practicalC. There is no solution to some technical problemsD. Only a few scientists support the ideaCWhy not write in a foreign language? If people feel free to choose their profession, their religion, and eventheir sex, why not just decide which language you want to write? Ever since Jhumpa published In Other Words in Italian, pe ople have been asking me, “Why don’t you write in Italian, Tim? After all, you’ve been in the country 35 years. What keeps you tied to English?” Is it just a question of economic convenience?Certainly economics can be important. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is not possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to take that step.Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write in French and English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy could “sell” their familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan public, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries.There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if English is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it.All these make sense. Critics tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had switched to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English speaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for something more exotic(异国的) and have ourselves translated back into English afterward? However, one fa ct is that changing languages doesn’t always work.I did write a novel in Italian. But after rereading it, I decided against it. My work lost power with the switch of language. My real subject matter still had to do with England and it was to my home culture that my books were addressed. The second language never seems to mean quite as much as the first. In any event, after my early experiment, I never went back to write in Italian. Changing language is not the only way to bring energy to your writing.66.The author writes the first paragraph to .A. introduce the topic of this passageB. provide background informationC. stress the importance of EnglishD. explain why he writes in English67.Why are some writers willing to write in a foreign language?A. They have published a lot of works at homeB. Their works are uncommon in their own countriesC. A new language may offer a wider readershipD. They want to be accepted by middle class68.What can we infer from the passage?A. Native English writers are at a disadvantage for writing in EnglishB. Writers can’t be entirely separated from their own culture and languageC. Writers should write in a foreign language to draw critics’ attentionD. Any writer can succeed with the switch of a new language69.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Write in a foreign languageB. Publish at homeC. Write in mother tongueD. Change language to bring energyDWhen the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires, they pass grand buildings like the Teatro Colon, an opera house that opened in 1908, and the Retiro railway station, completed in 1915. In the 43 years leading up to 1914, GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6%, the fastest recorded in the world. In 1914 half of Buenos Aires’s population wa s foreign-born. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies.It never got better than this. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies; it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.The country’s dramatic decline has long puzzled economists. “If a guy has been hit 700,000 shots it’s hard to work out which one of them killed him.” says Rafael di Tella. But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline. Firstly, Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy. Thirdly, when it needed to change, Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.Argentina was rich in 1914 because of commodities; its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it: cheap labor was what counted.Without a good education system, Argentina struggled to create competitive industries. It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period, but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture, open market and Britain, its biggest trading partner. If that bet turned sour, it would require a severe adjustment. The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade. Next came the Depression, which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain, another country in decline, backfired(失败) as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.After the Second World War, when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, Argentina had become a more closed economy. An institution to control foreign trade was created in 1946; the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary Arg entines. Open borders increased farmers’ taking but sharpened competition from abroad for domestic industry. Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreign-exchange reserves; limits on wheat exports create surpluses(过剩) that drive down local prices. But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land, enabling other countries to steal market shares.70.Grand buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show .A. Argentines were talentedB.

Chances are you have some misunderstanding about caffeine. Read on. Here are some of the most common myths about caffeine and some facts have been gathered to shed light on them.Myth one: Caffeine is addictiveCaffeine is a stimulant(起刺激作用的食物) to the central nervous system, and regular use of caffeine does cause mild physical dependence. But caffeine doesn’t threaten your physical, social, or economic health the way addictive drugs do. If you stop taking caffeine abruptly, you may have symptoms for a day or more, especially when you have been used to consuming two or more cups of coffee a day. However, caffeine does no cause the severity of withdrawal or harmful drug-seeking behaviors as drugs or alcohol. For this reason, most experts don’t consider caffeine dependence a serious addiction.Myth two: Caffeine probably causes insomnia(失眠症)Processed mainly through the liver, caffeine has a relatively short half-life. This means you can get rid of halfof it within about five to seven hours on average. After eight to ten hours, 75% of the caffeine is gone. For most people, a cup of coffee or two in the morning won’t prevent them from sleeping at night. Consuming caffeine later in the day, however, can interfere with sleep. Your sleep won’t be affected if you don’t consume caffeine at least six hours before going to bed.Myth three: Caffeine harms childrenAs of 2004, children aged 6 to 9 consumed about milligrams of caffeine per day. This is well within the recommended limit. However, energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine are becoming increasingly popular, so this number may go up. Some kids are sensitive to caffeine, developing temporary anxiety or irritability, with a “crash” afterwards. Also, most caffeine that kids drink is in sodas, energy drinks, or sweetened teas, all of which have high sugar content. These empty calories put kids at higher risk for obesity. Even if the caffeine itself isn’t harmful, caffeinated drinks are generally not good for kids.Myth four: Caffeine has no health benefitsCaffeine has few proven health benefits. But the list of caffeine’s potential benefits is interesting. Any regular coffee drinkers may tell you that caffeine improves alertness, concentration, energy and clear-headedness. Scientific studies support these subjective finding. One French study even showed a slower decline in cognitive ability among women who consumed caffeine. Other possible benefits include helping certain types of headaches. These research findings are interesting, but still need to be proven.用第五、六模块单词表所列单词的适当形式填空。

If we have 41 around or changed our life situation 42 ,we may be lucky enough to have had several. The best friend relationship is often our earliest 43 peer relationship, and it can be a source of great warmth and 44 throughout our lives. The characteristics of best friendship change as we grow up and grow older, but the heart of it remains the 45 . Our best friends are a warm shelter in which we feel free to be fully ourselves, to share our deepest secrets, to 46 when we are overtaken by tiredness, to have a 47 when there is something nice to happen in our life--a place in which we feel completely welcome to give and receive that most 48 of all gifts, love.Most close relationships do face 49 from time to time, and one of the characteristics of an enduring best friendship is its ability to 50 the storms and to remain unbroken even as it faces changes. Our best friends are those who manage to love us through all of our 51 , as we do the same for them. We find ways to hug and 52 the differences between us and offer love and 53 no matter what.

Playa La Audie ncia is a stunning little beach with a golden shoreline which overlooks the bay and offers great conditions for swimming, diving, and other cool water sports such as jet-skiing and kayaking. If you are a diving enthusiast, you’ll definitely love spending time in Playa La Audiencia since its waters are shallow, calm and filled with rocks covered with corals.Playa Brujas, MazatlanPlaya Brujas is probably one of the best surfing spots in Mazatlan. Playa Brujas is located 20 minutes’ drive from the heart of Mazatlan and it’s a popular spot among local surfers. If you are a surfer looking to hit some waves along the west coast of Mexico, you’ll find Playa Brujas a very good spot to visit since Brujas possesses satisfactory waves all year round.North Beach, Isla MujeresNorth Beach is one of the nicest beaches in Isla Mujeres and it’s one of Mexico’s finestbeaches in the Yucatan Peninsula. North Beach boasts a nice stretch of beach with white-powdery sand, warm turquoise waters and great diving spots.The best bit about North Beach besides its private location is that the beach is just minutes away by boat from Cancun, so you’re never too far from Cancun’s tourist attractions such as Wet n’ Wild P aterpark and Xplor Eco Park, where you can enjoy caving adventures and zip-line rides. Xpu Ha BeachXpu Ha Beach is located roughly between Tulum and Playa del Carmen and it is a nice spot for relaxing under the sun, walking and horseback riding. Xpu Ha is located along the stunning Riviera Maya and unlike other beaches along the Mexican Riviera, Xpu Ha beach boasts a subtle beach club atmosphere. Xpu Ha Beach isn’t as busy as Mamita’s beach club but it still possesses cool beach clubs, a rental shop and a hotel.someone has appreciation for caving adventures, he or she should go to .A. North BeachB. Xpu Ha BeachC. Wet n’ Wild PaterparkD. Playa Brujasof the following is true according to the passage?A. Playa Brujas is close to Mazatlan and lies along the east coast of MexicoB. North Beach is the finest beach in the Yucatan Peninsula for its private locationC. Tourists can rent some equipment at Xpu Ha Beach, which is as busy as othersD. When a couple choose a beach with children, Playa la Audiencia is their best choiceBIf two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the atmosphere--and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions(排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel(燃料): gasoline or jet fuel.This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycle--equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed--would mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic(合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming.Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has be en built, is operating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said.The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists whohave independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals.There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory: it requires a great deal of energy.According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details had not been published. “It’s definitely worth pursuing,” said Martin I. Hoffert, a professor of physics at New York University. “It’s not that new an idea. It has a couple of pieces to it that are inter esting.”is the value of the scientists’ proposal?A. It increases the productivity of a fuel factoryB. It decreases the cost of producing gasolineC. It reduces the pollution caused by car drivingD. It promotes a new idea of environmental protectionunderlined part “has a close cousin that is operating”probably means the technology in the concept .A. has been popular for so longB. has been ignored by many peopleC. is not appropriate for practiceD. will be put into practice in the near futureis the biggest challenge in realizing the concept Green Freedom?A. There is no theoretical basisB. It is not economically practicalC. There is no solution to some technical problemsD. Only a few scientists support the ideaCWhy not write in a foreign language? If people feel free to choose their profession, their religion, and even their sex, why not just decide which language you want to write? Ever since Jhumpa published In Other Words in Italian, people have been asking me, “Why don’t you write in Italian, Tim? After all, you’ve been in the country 35 years. What keeps you tied to English?” Is it just a question of economic convenience?Certainly economics can be important. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is not possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to take that step.Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write in Frenchand English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy could “sell” their familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan public, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries.There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if English is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it.All these make sense. Critics tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had switched to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English speaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for something more exotic(异国的) and have ourselves translated back into English afterward? However, one fact is th at changing languages doesn’t always work.I did write a novel in Italian. But after rereading it, I decided against it. My work lost power with the switch of language. My real subject matter still had to do with England and it was to my home culture that my books were addressed. The second language never seems to mean quite as much as the first. In any event, after my early experiment, I never went back to write in Italian. Changing language is not the only way to bring energy to your writing.author writes the first paragraph to .A. introduce the topic of this passageB. provide background informationC. stress the importance of EnglishD. explain why he writes in Englishare some writers willing to write in a foreign language?A. They have published a lot of works at homeB. Their works are uncommon in their own countriesC. A new language may offer a wider readershipD.

Any writer can succeed with the switch of a new languageof the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Write in a foreign languageB. Publish at homeC. Write in mother tongueD. Change language to bring energyDWhen the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires, they pass grand buildings like the Teatro Colon, an opera house that opened in 1908, and the Retiro railway station, completed in 1915. In the 43 years leading up to 1914, GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6%, the fastest recorded in the world. In 1914 half of Buenos Aires’s population was foreign-born. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies.It never got better than this. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies; it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.The country’s dramatic decline has long puzzled economists. “If a guy has been hit 700,000 shots it’s hard to work out which one of them killed him.” says Rafael di Tella. But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline. Firstly, Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy. Thirdly, when it needed to change, Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.Argentina was rich in 1914 because of commodities; its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it: cheap labor was what counted.Without a good education system, Argentina struggled to create competitive industries. It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period, but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture, open market and Britain, its biggest trading partner. If that bet turned sour, it would require a severe adjustment. The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade. Next came the Depression, which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain, another country in decline, backfired(失败) as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.After the Second World War, when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, Argentina had become a more closed economy. An institution to control foreign trade was created in 1946; the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary Argentines. Open borders increased farmers’ taking but sharp ened competition from abroad for domestic industry. Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreign-exchange reserves; limits on wheat exports create surpluses(过剩) that drive down local prices. But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land, enabling other countries to steal market shares.buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show .A. Argentines were talentedB. Argentina was once a richcountryC. Argentines miss the past of ArgentinaD. Argentina has a suitable infrastructureof the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

Chances are you have some misunderstanding about caffeine. Read on. Here are some of the most common myths about caffeine and some facts have been gathered to shed light on them.Myth one: Caffeine is addictiveCaffeine is a stimulant(起刺激作用的食物) to the central nervous system, and regular use of caffeine does cause mild physical dependence. But caffei ne doesn’t threaten your physical, social, or economic health the way addictive drugs do. If you stop taking caffeine abruptly, you may have symptoms for a day or more, especially when you have been used to consuming two or more cups of coffee a day. However, caffeine does no cause the severity of withdrawal or harmfuldrug-seeking behaviors as drugs or alcohol. For this reason, most experts don’t consider caffeine dependence a serious addiction.Myth two: Caffeine probably causes insomnia(失眠症)Processed mainly through the liver, caffeine has a relatively short half-life. This means you can get rid of half of it within about five to seven hours on average. After eight to ten hours, 75% of the caffeine is gone. For most people, a cup of coffee or two in the morning won’t prevent them from sleeping at night. Consuming caffeine later in the day, however, can interfere with sleep. Your sleep won’t be affected if you don’t consume caffeine at least six hours before going to bed.Myth three: Caffeine harms childrenAs of 2004, children aged 6 to 9 consumed about milligrams of caffeine per day. This is well within the recommended limit. However, energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine are becoming increasingly popular, so this number may go up. Some kids are sensitive to caffeine, developing temporary anxiety or irritability, with a “crash” afterwards. Also, most caffeine that kids drink is in sodas, energy drinks, or sweetened teas, all of which have high sugar content. These empty calories put kids at higher risk for obesity. Even if the caffeine itself isn’t harmful, caffeinated drinks are generally not good for kids.Myth four: Caffeine has no health benefitsCaffeine has few proven health benefits. But the list of caffeine’s potential benefits is interesting. Any regular coffee drinkers may tell you that caffeine improves alertness, concentration, energy and clear-headedness. Scientific studies support these subjective finding. One French study even showed a slower decline in cognitive ability among women who consumed caffeine. Other possible benefits include helping certain types of headaches. These research findings are interesting, but still need to be proven.Title About caffeine76.
