The following information is about thevolunteer for the World Exposition 2010 Shanghai China．I．Basic Requirements for V olunteers● Be willing to participate in voluntary services of Expo 2010;● Age limit: Expo Site volunteers must be born before April 30,1992 and Expo City Voluntary Service Station volunteers beforeApril 30, 1994;● Obey the laws and regulations of the PRC;● Be able to participate in training and relevant activities before the opening of Expo 2010;● Possess necessary knowledge and skills needed by the position;● Be in good heal th to meet the requirements of corresponding voluntary positions．II．Further Information for V olunteers● SourceResidents of Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, as well as overseas Chinese, and foreigners can all apply to be the volunteers．●Signup methodsApplicants may log in onto the official websites for online signup．They may also consult or connect with the Expo V olunteer Stations．● TimeMay 1 - December 31, 2009Ⅲ．V olunteer TrainingV olunteer training includes general training, special training and position training．General training is carried out through internet, while special training and position training are provided through classroom lectures and field practice．IV．V olunteer Types● Expo Site volunteers refer to those offerin g voluntary services to visitors and the Organizer in the Expo Site, mainly including information, visitor flow management, reception, translation and interpretation, assistance for the disabled, and assistance in media service, event and conference organization and．volunteer management．● Information booth volunteers are stationed in the Expo's information booths at key transportation centers, commercial outlets, tourist attractions, restaurants, hotels and cultural event places outside the Expo Site．They offer services including information, translation, interpretation and even first aid．60．If you were born in April 1993, where can you be a volunteer?A．In the Expo City．B．In the host country．C．In the Expo Site．D．In Chinese mainland 61．Which of the training will be done on the Internet?A．Position training．B．General training．C．Classroom training．D．Special training．62．Which of the following service is offered by information booth volunteers?A．Visitor flow management．B．Helping the disabledC．Assistance in media service． D．Emergency First aid．CWith alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills （泄露）on people, nature, and the environment．Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．Of all of today's environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term．Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run IWe should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power （太阳能）, electricity, hydrogen, and soon．Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal．If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient （高效的）—and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient ?we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．63．What is the passage mainly talking about?A．Oil spills pollution．B．What oil pollution is．C．Oil tanker accidents. D．How to reduce oil pollution. 64．How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?A．By giving a description．B．By making an argument．C．By giving an example．D．By drawing a diagram．65．What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Transportation depending more on oil．B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．D．More environmental damage being caused．66．Which suggestion, is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?A．We should build safer tankers in the near future．B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use．C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．DRecently there was a major discovery in the scientific research—the mapping of all DNA in a human gene （基因）is complete．Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality or religion．Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning．If the clone was free of genetic limitations．then the other clone would be as well．The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term．Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can't get pregnant, to have children of their own．Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs．This, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single （or more）organ （s）．It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists．Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side．Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life．There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development—the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment．Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance．Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear．Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would beregarded as "objects" rather than people in the society．Scientists haven't 100 per cent．guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal．Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool"．Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent to me personally．We should rather try to look at all "shades" of it．I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans．Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life"．I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．67．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women．B．A large number of genes will prevent us from developing．C．Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists．D．First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists．68．What's the author's opinion on cloning?A．Cloning should be entirely banned．B．Cloning should be used in creating life．C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce．D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs．69．Where can you read this article?A．In a story book．B．In a magazine．C．In a science fiction．D．In a brochure．70．Which of the following shows thestructure of the passage?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street．In his hand is a black leather bag．Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms．71 Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student．On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is waiting．They are the two village officials．They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls．72 ? "It’s a pity but it doesn't matter．" says Zeng, who wastes no time in deciding to look for the remaining child, Su Qiuju．After half an hour, they stop outside a small house made of mud brick．A middle-aged man and a girl in a faded pink dress greet them．Su Qiuju is eight years old．She was forced to drop out of school after both her parents died．She is now living with her uncle who cannot afford his own children's education．However, the year of education Su Qiuju did complete was a successful one．73 ．When they are about to leave, Zeng says, "I must find a supporter for this girl to sponsor her education．" Zeng has made it his retirement task to help children complete their schooling．Back in 1999, Zeng took part in a campaign started by the local women's organization to help students from poor families．74 His task had begun and since then he has spent his time persuading his friends and neighbors and others to donate money．"To me, children's education is the most important．75 I have to find sufficient funding before the school opens in September．"When asked how long he will keep up his vital work as the community's guardian angel, he has a simple reply．" Not until my eyes can't see, and my feet can't move．"A．They were having problems with their schoolworkB．These are for the two girls he's going to visit this morningC．They live in a small village not very far, though only one of the girls is still living at homeD．She displayed a talent for handwriting, writing her three-character name neatly and beautifullyE．The thought of students dropping out of school bothers me so much that I can't get to sleep at nightF．Of course, some people question why I would want to give up my retirement to go to so much trouble G．He was so overcome by the tough situation of many poor children ?that he donated all his money to help out a girl第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节：情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的班长李华，你们全班同学在“五一节”放假期间开展了“体验一天低碳生活”的活动。

It also has a high number of online ga me players and related problems. In 2002, a young man fainted and died while playing online games. He had been playing alm ost nonstop for 86 hours at an Internet ca fé. Another young ma n killed his sister after becoming confused between the online w orld and real life. A 12-year-old boy stole US $ 16,000 from his father and ran away from ho me. He did this to continue his obsession (着迷) with an online game. Such problems, however, don’t just ha ppen in . They are spreading to other parts of Asia, as well. What kinds of people are addicted to online games? What does the problem look like?

Each age has its pleasures a nd its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys wh at each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after a nd loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do whathe wishes to do. He is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect other s to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work i f he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time pla ying about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hung ry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have th e great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.61.

The paragraph following this passage will most probably dis cuss _______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifeCEveryone knows a storm is dangerous. A storm is often announced. Though there is expert broadcasting and we have cell ph ones, there’re still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa givin g plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day’s time, en dangering everyone and everything in their path.Oil workers have been stuck off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been trapped in coastal are as without storm warning. It wasn’t but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rai n-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a tr aining exercise. There have been a few instances when traveler s were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to e scape in time.Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us—but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a publi c shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.But there’re a few things you can do to prepare yourself for som e unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If you’re headed outdoors f or a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight wit h extra batteries, a GPS device, and a basic medical box. If you ’re traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high wi nds. You’d better not stay inside to avoid being blown away alo ng with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is es sential to survive in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.66.

What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The bad situations of oil workers.B. People trapped by sudden storms.C. The danger of traveling on an island.D. The Texas National Guard group.68. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To encourage traveling.B. To give some advi ce.C. To underline the danger of hurricanes.D. To give some warnings.69.

Here are some results of it.Many teenagers suggest they should have a brother or sister. P erhaps they feel this might make up for a gap in their own lives. Bao Yunlu, a Senior 2 boy from the No 8 Middle School in , Pro vince, often dreams of having an elder sister. “I want her to help me with my homework, share my feelings and take care of me,” he said.But last week Li Honggui, head of the China Family Planning A ssociation (CFPA), caused a hot discussion when he told news papers there would be no change to the current one-child policy. It will remain the provincial governments’ right to de cide on individual cases.The one-child policy began in 1978. Now has nearly 100 million single c hild families, one-third of the total. The policy has successfully slowed down Chin ese population growth by 10 million babies a year. But there are problems.As the centre of the family’s attention they do not know about th e hardships of life. “The one-child generation has no idea of thrift (节俭).” said Xing Yuan, professor of sociology at . Some of them also don’t know how to get on well with others.Bao agreed that being an only child has had an effect on his pe rsonality. “We are less tolerant (宽容) and considerate than our schoolmates who have brothers or sisters,” he said.But others don’t agree. “I don’t feel the difference between me a nd my classmates who have a brother or sister. They often com plain to me about quarrelling with their brothers or sisters. I feel lucky to have nobody to steal my belongings,” said Bai Yijing, a Senior 1 girl from the Middle School Attached to Beijing Petrole um Institute.What’s your opinion?

They were also faster, increasing the number of random numerical sequences they got through by about 13 percent.The study’s authors wrote that cute objects could be used as a way to arouse _48___ that give rise to careful behavioral tendencies in specific situations, such as driving and office work.”So, if anyone __49___ when he sees giant, pink Hello Kitty doll on your office desk, just show them this report.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone hates to wait in lines. We get that exhausting feeling that our precious life is _50___ away while we’re doing something so meaningless. But it’s not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable. Our behavior when waiting is only partly defined by the length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself. One apparent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is __51___ in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to the __52___ in elevators so that we can __53__ our appearance. We really hate it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that we are much more ___54__ when we are given an idea of how long we’ll be waiting. Walt Disney Co knows this __55___ than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson, these times are __56___ so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them happy.But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our understanding of fairness. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first _57____. Any deviation（偏差）from this _58___ is regarded as unfair and can lead to violent queue intense anger. A simple __59___ on Baidu news with the keywords “cutting in line”and “fight” throws up dozens of headlines in the past year. Queue anger is not __60___ in Western countries either.Sometimes, however, we are willing to make exception. In hospitals, __61___ is given to those with a more critical condition---we can also understand that. But in most situations, we demand fairness. You’ve probably experienced mild queue anger yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line move ahead of you, _62_ yourself for having chosen the “wrong” line.In order to solve this problem, the winding line was invented. Slate magazine’s website explains:“The winding line groups all customers into one big snaking queue, separated by ropes or barriers. When you reach the head of the queue, you are directed to the next __63__ server, or teller, or customs official, which offers important comfort: you _64__ never have to see someone arrive after you and get served before you.”In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart-phone will also do.50.

A. possibly B. absolutely C. actually D. reallySection B (22%)Directions: Read the following three passages. 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)About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than seven or eight years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were no longer exists. Why?Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.65. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in children’s mental developmentB. something rarely expected in children’s mental developmentC. an inevitable thing in children’s mental developmentD. something usually experienced in children’s mental development66. What does the underlined word innate in Paragraph 4 mean ?A. something a person is born withB. something a person is tired ofC. something a person is expected ofD. something a person is dreaming of67. What of the following statement is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A. Communication through print helps children develop their reading skills.B. Communication through print helps children access more social information.C. Communication through print helps children command a complex code of symbols.D. Communication through print helps children read different materials at random.68. What is the attitude of the author about today’s children?A. He feels shocked by their premature behavior.B. He thinks it is a phenomenon unworthy of note.C. He considers it a positive social development.D. He seems to be concerned about the tendency.(B)One of the major functions of an iPhone is, of course, to play music. The iTunes app has been designed in such a way as to take advantage of the iPhone’s touch screen. But what if you want to listen to music that isn’t in your iTunes library, or you want to discover new music without sitting in front of a computer?There are plenty of ways to access music, but not everyone knows what options are available. Either that, or there are so many options that going through all of them is tiring. For these reasons, here we offer a few convenient ways of listening to music on your iPhone without using iTunes.●Stream some radio (Tuneln Radio)Tuneln Radio provides a quick and easy way to listen to thousands of Internet radio stations on your Apple products. In addition to local radio stations, this app compiles more than 40,000 radio stations from around the country. What makes the app special is that it allows you to pause and rewind live radio---pause your station to take a phone call or rewind to replay a favorite song. You can also browse by genre or location, and the app includes plenty of talks, news, sports and weather stations in addition to music.●From desktop to smartphone (QQ Music)QQ Music seems like the obvious choice, and it is. It’s a streaming service based on the Tencent technology that is already wildly popular on the Internet and now also offers a (free) app. Through this app you can listen to existing playlists or create new ones based on the patterns of music you like. It works amazingly well and everything can be saved to your QQ account for access from a computer.●What was that song? (Shazam)Shazam is an innovative and free app that cures your “What was that song?” problem. It happens to all of us: we hear a song (on TV or in a store), love it, know we have heard it before but just can’t remember what it’s called. With Shazam you don’t need to. Just hold your iPhone up and through its microphone, Shazam will identify the album, artist and song title for you. You can then either purchase the song in iTunes or search it on other apps for streaming. How cool is that?69. All of the options are strongly recommended to the users of ___________.A. iTunesB. iPhonesC. computersD. microphones70. If you are to enjoy the freedom to go backward or make a phone call without missing anythingyou are listening, you can turn to ______.A. Tuneln RadioB. iTunesC. ShazamD. QQ Music71. What is possibly the best title for the passage ?A. Beyond the MusicB. Streaming Service of MusicC. Get easier accesses to musicD. Get Familiar to Each Song(C)Petroleum, consisting of crude oil（原油）and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment（海洋沉淀物）.Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved.Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.Oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference（密度差）with water beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighboring wells to help push the oil out.As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean’s continental shelves. More than one-quarte r of the world’s oil and almost one-fifth of the world’s natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on land.Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.72. Which of the following is true about petroleum formation?A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas.B. Large amounts of oxygen are needed for petroleum formation to begin.C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decayingorganisms.D. Petroleum formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists.73. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate?A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land.B. Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.C. The global demand for oil has been increasing over the years.D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.74. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage?A. The formation, process and exploration of petroleumB. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration.C. The changing relationships between countries.D. The future intense situation in oil product markets.75. What can we infer from the passage?A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well.B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.C. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil.D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.Section C (5%)Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. ____________Every year on December 25, families across the UK gather in front of their TV set at precisely 3 pm. Not to watch a televised gala, but to hear the comforting voice of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II as she delivers her annual Christmas broadcast to the UK and the Commonwealth. Listening to the speech has become a fixed Christmas routine for millions of people across globe.77. ____________Since 1932 it has been a tradition for the British monarch to address his/her subjects in a short message broadcast across the UK by radio every year on Christmas Day. In it, the monarch reflects on the major global national and personal issues of the past year and represents the spirit of Christmas by appealing for a harmonious society.78. ____________This element of unity was of particular importance when World War II broke out in 1939. according to the official website of the British Monarchy, that year King George VI said: “A new year is at hand. We cannot tell what it will bring. If it brings peace, how thankful we shall all be. If it brings us continued struggle we shall remain fearless.” At a time of uncertainty and hardship, these words were a source of encouragement and played a large role in boosting confidence.79. ____________Queen Elizabeth II delivered her first Christmas Day Message in 1952 at the age of 26.Last year, she recorded her 61st speech. Over the decades, the Queen has experienced much technological progress---in 1957 she presented the first Christmas speech on live TV, in 2007 it was streamed on YouTube, and last year it was broadcast in 3-D to mark the Diamond Jubliee.80. ____________But far from being a message that is prepared by governmental advisers, it is a personal message written by the Queen herself. Thus, it is one of the rare occasions on which the public can hear of their queen’s personal views, experiences and concerns. It is also an opportunity for the Queen to speak directly to her subjects, including the men and women fighting for the country. The Christmas broadcast is much more than just a televised speech, it is a symbol of unity.Section D (8%)Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 10 words.If your resolutions for the new year are typical, they probably include a determination to lose weight. But if you are like most Americans, any success you have losing pounds will be short-lived, and you’ll end the year weighing more than you do right now.So why are Americans obsessed with weight loss? Many people say they want to lose weight to improve their health, but this may not actually be their primary motivation. In one of the more interesting polls （民意测验）I’ve seen, more than three-fourths of the 231 dieters surveyed said that they would take a pill that would guarantee they would achieve or maintain their desired weight even if it would lowers their life expectancy. On average, they were willing to give up 5.7 years.These findings may seem puzzling, but they are not so surprising when you consider weight-loss attempts for what they really are: efforts to protect against weight-based discrimination. Yale researchers have shown that weight discrimination in the US has increased dramatically in the last decade especially among women. Multiple studies have documented weight bias in employment, healthcare, education and public spaces---unequal treatment based on labeling fat people as lazy, unmotivated, and lacking self-discipline and competence. Heavy women are routinely ridiculed in advertisements, television and film.Of course, there are genuine health risks associated with higher body mass. The clearest case is that of Type 2 diabetes, which becomes more likely as weight goes up. Yet as many medical researchers have pointed out, this association may not be causal. It has become increasingly clear that the link between weight and health is complicated. In some cases, higher body mass seems to protect against death rate. For instance, there is growing evidence documenting an “obesity paradox（肥胖矛盾）”, in which elevated body mass is associated with lower death rate among people with heart disease and among those with Type 2 diabetes. But it is clear that anti-fat bias in and of itself has a serious effect on public health in ways many may not suspect. Fear of ridicule leads many heavier women to avoid exercising in public or even---when they are very heavy---to avoid leaving their homes, depriving themselves of social interaction. And the fear of becoming fat can lead women of all sizes to develop eating disorders that can diminish their lives and be dangerous to their health. What should be done about weight-based discrimination? The answer is to call for increasing tolerance and appreciation of different body types.。

To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血）reactions.The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.4. What can we learn from the text?A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine.D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?A. Meaningful.B. Obvious.C. Inspiring.D. Complex.6. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free.C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-FebruaryC. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them toD. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missedCScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive whenthey are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.8. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.9. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.10. What do Gunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefsDConducting interviews for news stories is an important skill for any journalist. To start, do as much research as you can and prepare a list of questions to ask. Once the interview starts, try to develop a rapport(融洽的关系) with your "source"—anyone a journalist interviews, but don't waste your time. If your source starts to talk about things that are clearly of no use to you, don't be afraid to gently but firmly turn the conversationback to the topic at hand.It's an old debate among journalists: Which works better when interviewing a source, taking notes (the old-fashioned way) or using a cassette or digital voice recorder? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A reporter's notebook and a pen or pencil are the easy-to-use, time-honored tools of the interviewing trade, while recorders enable you to get everything someone says word for word. Which works better? It depends on what kind of story you're doing.Many beginning reporters complain that with a notepad and pen, they can never take down everything a source says in an interview. But you don't have to note everything down. Keep in mind that you're probably not going to use everything they say in your story. So don't worry if youlet slipa few things.So you've done a long interview with a source, you have pages of notes, and you're ready to write. But chances are you'll only be able to choose a few quotes from that information collected directly from the source. Which ones should you use? Reporters often talk about using only "good" quotes for their stories, but what does this mean? Broadly speaking, when someone says something interesting, and says it in an interesting way, that can make a good quote.12. What is a journalist advised to do during an interview?A. Be gentle with the source.B. Carry on a long conversation.C. Make the conversation interesting.D. Prevent the conversation being off-topic.13. What do the underlined words "let slip" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. give awayB. leave outC. get rid ofD. take up14. What is considered as a good quote for a reporter?A. A direct quote.B. An important point of view.C. A piece of basic information.D. Something funny a source says interestingly.15. What is the text mainly about?A. The job of a journalist.B. The process of interviewing.C Some facts about interviewing. D. The relationship between a journalist and a source.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Backpacking Checklist.BElizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, they’ve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. They’ve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.Yet even experts like Spelke don’t understand precisely how babies or adults learn. Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machineeclipsinghuman cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that it’s misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks. “Humans don’t start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty.”4. Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at ________.A playing games B. identifying locations C. labeling pictures D. making adjustments5. What does the underlined word “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Imitating.B. Beating.C. Limiting.D. Promoting.6. According to the text, Francois Chollet may agree that ________.A. AI is good at completing certain assignments.B. AI is likely to gain abilities with less training.C. AI lacks the ability of acquiring specific skills.D. AI performs better than humans in cognitive ability.7. Whichwould be the best title for this passage?A. What is exactly intelligence?B. Why is modern AI advanced?C. Where is human intelligence going?D. How do humans face the challenge of AI?CPut your hand over your heart and sit very still. You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar to the beat of a drum. Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life. For this reason, the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana, a country inAfrica, many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class. Through the drum, the children ofGhanaalso learn about their history and culture. They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum. The stories of the drum also teach children games, rules and lessons about behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica, drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history. Drums told the coming of a king, the start of a war, or the birth of a child. They also allowed people to share messages. But how does a drum tell a story?InWest Africa, the most common drum used for communication is called a “talking drum”. By making higher orlower drum sounds, the drummer can make the drum “talk”.In many African languages, words go up and down in pitch (高音) when they are spoken, almost like a song. Depending on the pitch or tone (音调), the same sound can have many different meanings. For example, when spoken with two low tones, the African word “ilu” means “drum”. When spoken with one high and one low tone, “ilu” means “town”.Drum language works in the same way. Just as in spoken language, the word “ilu” has different meanings depending on how it’s drummed. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using low tones, the word means “drum”. When “ilu” is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone, it means “town”.Drummers create “words” to build ideas, sentences and stories. The next time you hear a song, listen for the heartbeat within the music. Can you hear the story of the drum?8. The first paragraph mainly tells us________.A. drums beat like our heartsB. drums have a long historyC. drums are widely used in the worldD. drums are important for many people worldwide9. From the text, we learn that inGhanadrums________.A. are not as useful as beforeB. teach children a lot of thingsC. help bring the war to an endD. are used in class by teachers10. The example of the African word “ilu” is used to show________.A. how a word can have different soundsB. how to speak African languagesC. how a drum tells storiesD. how to beat a drum11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Know the history of the drumB. Listen to the story of the drumC. Beat the drum of lifeD. Love me, love my drumDKenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publicationToxicon.The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By telling a story.B. By listing figures.C. By referririg to documents.D. By making a comparison.13. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer?A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.14. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa?A. Lack of antivenom medication.B. Environmental damage and climate change.C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.15. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?A. Itis taken from antibodies of sheep.B. There is only one effective antivenom available.C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
