If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share somewide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2:When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3:Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed thatextra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy,time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, sowomen can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s peoplethe weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A. were mostly slavesB. still led a hard lifeC. enjoyed their new life with familiesD. worked on their own farms27.At the very beginning, the blues were _________.A. not performed on formal occasionsB. traditional songs of the Black peopleC. about the life of travelling musiciansD. very popular throughout the nation28.What kind of emotion does the blues express?A.

You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blo od vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31.By the sentence “you are a cquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people_________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32.Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A.

He got mad because I gave him a confused look, and said I didn’t know how to play. Then he told me to learn the rules first. A couple of minutes later, he went into his room and pulled out an old videotape, so for the rest of the morning we sat down and watched all the videos as he explained all the rules of the game. I picked up really quickly. I understood the game at that point, but I just needed to learn the basic rules of football such as catching, throwing, and how run with the ball!After we watched the videos, he took me outside and we threw the ball around. He liked the way I threw the ball, and he told me that I had a big chance at being a quarterback! Two days later, his friends called him and told him that it’s time to play. We played that day and ended up until we couldn’t see the ball anymore. I was exhausted when we finished playing.Since that day, I knew football was my passion!

During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we unite them and take them wherever we’ve chosen to sleep.On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the space plane; the shuttle’s computers and the engineers at Mission Control do that. If anything goes worry, the computers ring an alarm and the engineers call us on the radio.On the space shuttle, sleeping-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit, the sun “rises”and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes; the it “sets” as our path takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently. Some sleep upside down, some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask, and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then I crawl into the bag, and float in sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before 1 pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath me.26.

Sleeping on the Space ShuttlePassage threeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In most large Japanese companies, there is a policy of lifetime employment. What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise, they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire. In effect, the employee gets job security for life, and can only be fired for serious mistakes, in work. Even in difficult times of business, he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it. By working hard for the company, he believes he is safeguarding his own future. It is not surprising that devotion to one’s company is considered a great virtue in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firm’s interests before those of his immediate family.The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work. They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career. This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time. They can afford to take a longer perspective than their Western counterparts.This marriage between the employee and the company---the consequence of lifetime employment --- may explain why Japanese worker seem positive to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work, for little overtime pay, to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.31. Lifetime employment in the Japanese company means that the employee______.A. Leaves his Company only when businessB. gets a job soon after he leaves school or universityC. can work there throughout his careerD. can have his serious mistakes in work corrected32. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Family and company interests are equally importantB. The Japanese worker is vary loyal to his companyC. One’s future is guaranteed through hard workD. Devotion to one’s company is encouraged33. Lifetime employment influences one’s ______.A. Achievements at workB. performance at workC. career optionsD. attitude toward work34. The Japanese worker is fond of his company’s products because of ______.A. His marriage with the daughter of the presidentB. the close link between him and his companyC. his willingness to work overtimeD. his active participation in quality control35. The passage mainly discusses______.A. How lifetime employment works in JapanB. what benefits employment has brought to Japanese workersC. what lifetime employment isD. how lifetime employment is viewed第二部分非选择题(共50分)IV.

If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2:When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3:Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believedthat extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, sowomen can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s peopleOn the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A. were mostly slavesB. still led a hard lifeC. enjoyed their new life with familiesD. worked on their own farms27.At the very beginning, the blues were _________.A. not performed on formal occasionsB. traditional songs of the Black peopleC. about the life of travelling musiciansD. very popular throughout the nation28.What kind of emotion does the blues express?A. SadnessB. HappinessC. JokingD. All of the above29.How did “improvisation” come into being?A. The blues singers gathered to have contests.B. New words were added into old songs.C. New styles were played with guitars.D. The blues singers created music while playing.30.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.

The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31.By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people_________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32.Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.”The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations(模拟)to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.“My jaw hit the floor,” said astronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around t he sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.16. The newly-found planet ________.A. moves around the SunB. was discovered by two astronomersC. travels a round orbitD. is far away from our solar system17. The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown ________.A. confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18. According to the scientists, ________A. the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB. it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC. Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD. Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB. no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC. scientists have found three planets in modern timesD. the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20. To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT ________.A. mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover(悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parentsthat their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21. The term “helicopter parenting” ________.A. describes parents who give children directions in the airB. was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC. gains more meaning as modern technology developsD. refers to parents who concern too much about kids22. According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following features EXCEPT ________.A. over-directiveB. over-dependentC. over-preventiveD. over-protective23. It can be inferred that a concierge mother will ________.A. regard the world as very dangerousB. allow children to do whatever they likeC. keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD. let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24. In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are ________.A. very clever in studyingB. really good at problem-solvingC. unable to communicate with teachersD. having problems making friends25. Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter parenting is ________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, thiswas a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!26. Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A. We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27. What is special about the music festival?A. It has a special band.B. It has a unique program list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally friendly.28. At the music festival, guests were encouraged to ________.A. make furniture from woodB. bring plastic-bottled drinksC. recycle rubbish by themselvesD. drink free fresh water29. According to Paragraph 3, the author ________.A. fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. raise funds for environment protectionB. highlight that being green can be funC. encourage people to go to music festivalsD. introduce the author's favourite musiciansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.31. Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from ________.A. his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32. When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with ________.A. a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33. Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to ________.A. report emergency traffic problemsB. look for information other than potholesC. choose safer routes without potholesD. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34. To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends ________.A. reported potholes to 311 call systemB. conducted field trips on the streetsC. built their own information databaseD. collected samples in their neighborhood35. We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe ________.A. is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great ambitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.36. Experiments in the photography of moving objects ________ in both the United States and Europe well before 1990.A. have been conductingB. were conductingC. had been conductedD. are conducted37.

精品文档你我共享精品文档你我共享2016年4月24日学位英语考试真题答案解析-阅读理解（统考卷）Passage OneThe new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito ElementarySchool, in San Rafael, California. The last three of the school's 22 classroomsswitched from seated desks to standing desks. “It's now the first all-standingschool,”Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group StandUp Kids. Her goalis to have every U.S. public school kid using a standing desk within the next10 years.Starrett's daughters—Georgia, 10, and Caroline, 7—attend Vallecito.They are thrilled with their desks. “You feel happier, you're less tired, andyou're more active,” Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars. The bars let kidsmove in a way that doesn't disturb the class. Wheels allow the desks to bemoved easily. The desks also adjust to different heights. Kids take breaks bysitting on the floor or on stools.There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe touse. According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standingworkers are more focused and healthier. He says his research shows that kidsusing standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories (卡路里). InDecember, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdomreleased similar findings. But not everyone is convinced standing is betterthan sitting. Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and thatstanding for long periods of time may be harmful. And standing desks are moreexpensive.Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems ifthey are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, standmore,'”he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more.'”11. How many classrooms in Vallecito areequipped with standing desks?A. 3B. 25C. 19D. 2212. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why standing desks are used.B. Where standing desks are used.C. How standing desks are used.D. Who use standing desks.13. Mark Benden's research shows that kidsusing standing desks .A. feel more tiredB. are more focusedC. get better scoresD. tend to eat more14. The researchers in Australia and theUK(para. 4) .A. would agree with BendenB. are not fully convinced by BendenC. partly support Benden's findingsD. find it hard to accept Benden's theory15. Some parents and teachers worry that usingstanding desks may .A. disturb the kids in classB. leave the classroom noisyC. harm the students' healthD. increase the teachers' workloadPassage TwoJapan and Germany have the world's oldest populations, but neithercountry has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults.So, they are turning to Vietnam for help. This month, 100 young Vietnamese aregoing to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric (老年的) nursesto work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-monthlanguage and culture class, they will精品文档你我共享精品文档你我共享spend the next two years in anoccupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they willbe able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another 3 years.Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growingpopulation of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of thepopulation is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continuerising.This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamesecandidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country'shospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam. Japanalready trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health caresystem has been criticized for being too harsh. All candidates must take thesame exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few canspeak the Japanese language.Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed toforeigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead tohigher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.In Vietnam, the situation is very different.60 percent of thepopulation was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1985. There are not enoughjobs for everyone who wants one in Vietnam, but learning the nursing skills canhelp them find jobs overseas.16. The overseas Vietnamese nurses mustcomplete the following EXCEPT.A. a culture courseB. a health care examC. a language trainingD. a driving test17. A Vietnamese youngster will spend atleast in Germany before working there as a geriatricnurse.A. six monthsB. one and a half yearsC. two and a half yearsD. five years18.

Faced with the aging population, manyJapanese .A. welcome foreign nurses working in JapanB. oppose foreign labor working in most placesC. criticize the government for being tooharshD. blame the government for highunemployment20. The last paragraph indicates that .A. the Vietnamese also face the agingproblemB. over half of the Vietnamese are underthe age of 45C. sixty percent people cannot find jobs inVietnamD. more and more Vietnamese have found jobs abroadPassage ThreeBorn around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee. Like otherNative Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn'thelp noticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets ofpaper. They often used these “talking leaves,” as some Native Americans calledthem, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their ownlanguage. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a systemof精品文档你我共享精品文档你我共享writing. So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokeecould use to do just that.Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing adifferent word or idea. He soon realized that writing sentences using pictureswould be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever beable to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different approach. He began to developsymbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made upwords. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 differentsymbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language. Thesymbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokeewere able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah's work did not end there, however. He helped to establish aprint shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee andEnglish. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee. Inlater years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.21. As can be learned from the firstparagraph,a Cherokee was a .A. Native AmericansB. writerC. White manD. genius22. “Talking leaves” in the final paragraphrefers to .A. English spellingsB. pieces of paper with wordsC. English sentencesD. tree leaves that make sounds23. To create an alphabet, Sequoyah beganwith pictures that stand for .A. soundsB. symbolsC. wordsD. syllables24. Sequoyah's invention was important tothe Cherokee, because .A. the Cherokee are now able to read and writeB. the Cherokee now make a living with thewriting systemC. one of their parks was named afterSequoyahD. the Cherokee are proud of hisachievement25. Sequoyah is best remembered for .A. being able to read and writeB. being raised as a CherokeeC. drawing pictures to represent words orideasD. inventing a written language for the CherokeePassage FourClosed Circuit Television, usually abbreviated to CCTV, iseverywhere in today's society. In fact, when we go about our everyday lives itis virtually impossible to avoid it. If you take a bus to school, there will bea camera on it. When you pop out to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camerawill be watching you walk around the shop. If you look up, you'll see camerason many street corners, at bus stops, on trains and even in some publictoilets.
