Pay special attention to saving every drop of water hidden in your diet and wardrobe. And keep away from life styles that might waste water. In all, try to form a water-efficient habit.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A new report by the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that around one in a hundred deaths worldwide is due to passive smoking, which kills an estimated 600,000 people a year.In the first study to assess the global __41__ of second-hand smoke, WHO experts find that children are more __42__ exposed to second-hand smoke than any other age-group, and around 165,000 of them a year die because of it.Children’s exposure to second-hand smoke is most likely to happen at home, and thedouble blow of infectious diseases and tobacco seems to be a deadly __43__ for children in these regions. Commenting on the findings, Heather Wipfli and Jonathan Samet from the University of Southern California, said policymakers try to __44__ families to stop smoking in the home.While deaths due to passive smoking in children were skewed (曲解) toward poor and middle-income countries, deaths in adults were __45__ across countries at all income levels.In Europe’s high-income countries, only 71 child deaths occurred, while 35,388 deaths were in adults. Yet in the countries like Africa, an estimated 43,375 deaths due to passive smoking were in children __46__ with 9,514 in adults.Only 7.4 percent of the world population currently lives in places with __47__ smoke-free laws, and those laws are not always __48__ enforced (施行). In places where smoke-free rules are __49__, research shows that exposure to second-hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90 percent, and in general by 60 percent, the researchers said.Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers and lead to higher __50__ rates in those trying to quit.III.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On “Super Bowl Sunday”, millions of Americans are glued to their TVs. They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown (触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on commercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break.After football season, the “March Madness”begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) competitions begin with 68 men’s college basketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the “Final Four”. The winning team becomes the national champion. The NBA (National Basketball Association) All-Star game is also held in February. The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot (吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning (棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on. Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss.66. According to the passage, the Super Bowl is _____.A. a well-received American football gameB. an expensive American sportC. an impressive TV performanceD. a most-watched TV series67. Which of the following may be one of the reasons for the popularity of the Super Bowl?A. Its results are too exciting to meet viewers’ expectations.B. People can eat pizza, chicken wings and chips when watching it.C. Its commercials are expensive enough to draw viewer s’ attention.D. The performances during its halftime show are appealing to viewers.68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans spend a large amount of money on ball games.B. American people of all ages like going to watch baseball games.C. All the American stars take part in the national basketball game.D.

The virtual wall is designed to _____.A. limit the robot to a certain areaB. prevent the robot from bumping into wallsC. stop the robot from reaching 4 metersD. create a bunch of light outside thedoorway(C)We have entered a new age of embedded (嵌入式的), intuitive (直觉的) computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It’s not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine? A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it’s time to take a pill.Technology is being integrated (融入) into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations throughmainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the introduction of the PC (personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.As the third wave keeps developing, designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that still matters, of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significantly and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.74. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2?A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.75. In the first wave of computing _____.A. companies’ operations were reliable on computer systemsB. computing had awareness of people’s needs in the contextC. people could have access to computing almost everywhereD. it was possible for people to experience computing at home76. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing?A. There’s no need to create a single product.B. The definition of the user experience is more significant.C. Products and services are not independent of each other.D. The products’ form and functions are no longer important.77. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing?A. There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.B. There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.You probably don’t need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health —from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity (肥胖) in the long term, to reduced cholesterol (胆固醇) maintenance in the short term, not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine (脊柱).To make matters worse, a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise, according to an article in The New York Times. The article reported that a study of nearly 9, 000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day, the risk of dying rose by 11 percent. In other words, sitting is killing us.Stand up for health. Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting. They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat around. When they looked at the data, there were some striking differences. Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair. Standing also burned more calories (热量单位:卡路里)—about 50 calories an hour. Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30, 000 extra calories, or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.John Buckley, a member of the research team, said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits, our bodies also need the constant, almost imperceptible (感觉不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides. Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.The researchers believe that even small adjustments, like standing while talking on the phone, going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail, or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator, will help.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to the context, the underlined expression “be countered with” in Paragraph 3can best be replaced by “________”.79. The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University ofChester in the UK are that standing _________.80. Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?81. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?第II卷(共47分)I.

I was afraid of being away from my family for the first time. Here I would have to make friends with strange people and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me?I soon lear ned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I were to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent in my study and socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, what to eat, and with whom to be friendly. These questions I had to an swer for myself.At first, life was rough. I made mistakes in how I used my time. I also made mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college. Shortly, however, I had my life under con trol. I man aged to get myself to class on time, do my homework and hand them in, and pass my first exams with satisfy ing grades. In additi on, I developed a circle of friends with whom I felt comfortable and could share my fears. I set up my own routi ne, one that really met my n eeds.As a result, I began to look upon myself from a different perspective (视角).I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family. It felt good to make decisions and see them tur n out to be wise on es. I guess this is what peoplecall “ grow ing up ”What did life have in store for me? At that stage in my life, I was really uncertain where I would go and what I would do with the years ahead of me. But I knew I would be able to han dle what was ahead because I hadsuccessfully overcome the major problem in my life: I hadhis made the change from a person dependent on familyto a person who was responsible for himself.59.

Physical in activity acco unts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major chronic (慢性的)diseases, yet almost one of every three America ns is sede ntary (spe nding a lot of time sitti ng down). According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.4 percent of those surveyed (调查)report they have no free-time physical activity at all. City people tend to be more active than country folks, with say ing they are sede ntary, compared with of those in rural areas.Light activity can improve physical well-being. While light activity is good,moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts en courage every one to have at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity.

In ano ther study, fat wome n ranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics (有氧健身) program —and regained fewer pounds in the following year.Recog nizing the value of differe nt levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobic and muscle exercise and to ack no wledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as ben eficial as one long sessi on.63.

Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study inPsychological Scienee that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are. The study ' authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by using older the “I Ica n advocate on like “ Iresearch show ing that when people get feedback ( 反馈) which they believe is overly positive, they actually feelworse, not better. If you tell your friend who is not very clever that he has the potential of an Einstein, you ' rein cludi ng psychologist Joel Cooper of Prin cet oncon ducted an experime nt. The participa nts were asked to write essays opposing financial support for the disabled, expressing little sympathy for them. When these participa nts were later praised for their sympathy, they felt eve n worse about what they had writte n.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovicmeasured 68 students self-respect. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feeli ngs for four minu tes. Every 15 sec on ds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable. low self-respect didn ' tfeel better after the forced self-approval. I n fact, their feeli ngs tur ned sig nifica ntly worse tha n those of members of the con trol group, who weren ' t urged to think positive thoughts.The study provides support for newer forms forpsychotherapy (心理治疗)that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation ( 静思) techniques, on the con trary, can teach people to realize their shortcom ings from a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of n egative thi nking.67.

Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers —the Yellow River in China and the Hi ndu River in In dia. 72Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture no wadays. Though a bit differe nt from the Chin ese one, it bel ongs to the same system.Whe n the two mother rivers gave birth to the Easter n culture, ano ther famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain ——the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilizatio n later on developed in to the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 73 Like the Chin ese culture, the Europea n one also crossed waters. Whe n the British settled dow n in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culturedoesn ' t distinguish from the Europea n one a lot.74 Take the Ian guage system for example. In the East, most Ianguages belong to the pictographic Ian guage while the Wester n Ian guages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differenee counts as well. But what' more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom comm uni cate un til rece nt centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰)from the other.The differences are everywhere. 75 But differe ntcultures make the world of 21st cen tury more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍)to the civilizati on of huma n bein g. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.B. One importa nt thing is to lear n about other cultures.C. And these two are well-k nown as the base of the Europea n culture.D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differe nces.E. This is because the culture systems are twoseparate systems on the whole.F. They helped the two cultures develop forcenturies and form their own styles.G. They are obvious and affect people ' s ways of thinking and their views of the world.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节(15分)假设你是英语科代表,请根据以下提示,通知你班美国学生参加学校为交换生举办的一次讲座。

Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low doses of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. ―Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,‖ Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. That‘s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees‘ ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeine‘s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. ―The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)‖associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,‖ Wright said.Bee populations have declining since 2007. The dramatic drop in the insects‘ numbers has seriouseffects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.56. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.57. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry, will probably feel________.A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD. excited58. Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?A. improved memory — caffeine nectar — better pollinationB. caffeine nectar — improved memory — better pollinationC. improved memory — better pollination — caffeine nectarD. caffeine nectar — better pollination — improved memory59. We can know from the passage that ________.A. the rat is a mammalB. caffeine has nothing to do with memoryC. bees are good at remembering floral traitsD. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own60. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. SportsBIf you‘re thinking about reaching for another biscuit t o get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz – the equivalent of a whole dress size – while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most common vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: ―We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‗quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.‖The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying, compared to 20 per cent of men. Unfortunately, it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.61. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________.A. on the faceB. on the legsC. on the feetD. in the middle62. What‘s the main reaso n of eating snacks in office?A. Colleagues eat them to save money.B. Staff use them to cope with their lunch.C. Colleagues often bring them to office.D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.63. Why do office workers eat a ―quick fix‖ lunch?A. Because it has much of nutrition.B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.64. It can be inferred that British women are ________.A. less likely to lie on snacks than menB. more likely to lie on snacks than menC. more ashamed of eating snacks than menD. less ashamed of eating snacks than men65. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A. act againstB. appeal toC. cope withD. get inCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as ―character‖.EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.66. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence67. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.68. The underlined word ―upbeat‖ in Paragraph 4 probably means ―________‖.A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic69. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist‘s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.70. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The X- Factor (英国偶像), Britain's got talent(英国达人), American Idol(美国偶像)and Super girl, TV talent shows are popular all over the world.There are many reasons for that. To start with, the show can make the contestant(选手)famous overnight. Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain‘s Got ta lent, in which she sang ―I Dreamed a Dream‖. The video clip (片段) of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks. Second, the show offers a good opportunity to display one‘s talents. Third, everybody has a fair chance to be invo lved in the show regardless of the age and background. Even if you can‘t perform in the show, you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet. Fourth, the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people. Last but not least, the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity.However, many people express concerns about TV talent shows. They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight. Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists, because many winners have little idea about real music and acting. What‘s worse, some judges even humiliate (羞辱) and laugh at contestants. One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn‘t stand the rejection and humiliation. Even the winners suffer. Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show, because she was unable to deal with the pressure.Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show. The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate. China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time. In the USA, some insulting judges are punished.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage, answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling. Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one‘s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.―I must see him,‖ she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.―I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,‖ Jamnalal Bajaj saidlaughingly, ―yet you won‘t trust me with a copper coin.‖ ―This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands,‖ Mahatma Gandhi said. ―If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn‘t mean much.‖ ―But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.‖81.

What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for? (No more than 12 words)_________________________________________________________________________83. Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi?

The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-oldBirmingham resident Jatari Walker who told the Daily News she is scarred by the entire experience.“I can‟t sleep,” she said Saturday afternoon. “And since it happened I‟ve had no appetite.”Walker ordered a combination platter (大浅盘) and egg roll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood Restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening.

V olunteers can get more money when they ______.A. gave the correct answerB. chose the right hand sideC. chose the left hand sideD. remembered the patterns of dots75. Why are participants less likely to form words like “ethical”, “moral” in the afternoon?A. Because their vocabulary becomes smaller.B. Because they are unwilling to tell the truth.C.

The finding especially applies to those who behave ethically.B. Mere time of day can lead to systematic failure of organizations.C. The finding doesn‟t agree with that of previous studies.D.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Not for the first time, Paul Mathis wants us to change. But this time he isn‟t trying to get us to go vegetarian, or dine only on locally grown ingredients. This time he‟s trying to get us to type differently.Paul Mathis, a restaurateur from Melbourne who owns a string of dining establishments, has designed the letter “Ћ” —representing the word “the”. Now he is pushing Apple to allow him to promote his app, which features the new character, in its iTunes store.In a move to branch out of the food business, Paul has invested AUS $38,000 (£23,500) in the new app, but has so far been rejected by Apple. He is hoping he can change their mind, pointing out t hat reducing the word “the” — the most used word in the English language — to one character would be helpful for Twitter and swift typing.“Is this important?” he said, in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald. “No. Is this going to change the world? Not really. But is it something that might be useful for people? I think so, because it can save people lots of time on keyboard.”“The word …and‟ is only the fifth-most used word in English and it has its own symbol — the ampersand …&‟,” said Mr. Mathi s. “Isn‟t it time we gave the same respect to …the‟?”The top five most commonly used words in the English language are said to be: the, be, to, of, and “and”. The ampersand“&” has at times been used as the 27th letter of the English alphabet.Paul has developed the typography —effectively an upper-case “T” and a lower-case “h” bunched together so they share the upright stem — and an app that puts it in everyone‟s hand by allowing users to download an entirely new electronic keyboard complete not just with his symbol but also a row of keys of 15 most frequently typed words.So far, though, the take-up has been minimal. But that might change if he can get his innovation into Apple‟s app store. The problem is, the Californian tech giant has so far resisted his advances. But who knows —maybe in 500 years‟ time people will be amazed that there was a t ime when we didn‟t use …Ћ‟.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)78.
