I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious(有声望的)modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At l3, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We had never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 1.75metres.I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt(冲刺)because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes. $500 for a photo shoot and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call, I grew more depressed.The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short. I was devastated(感到难以承受的).Years later, I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.21.

No matter whether it’s big or small, temporary or permanent, it hurts to see them unhappy. As their parent, you want nothing more than to make the hurt or the sadness go away---- with hugs, kisses or a good old fashionedtalk. Sometimes, for kids,the things that can hurt most are words---- especially from their young peers. For my younger son w ho’s in kindergarten, the words that have always hurt him most throughout the preschool years are: you’re not my friend.From the stories I’ve heard of life in the classroom and out on the playground, those four hurtful words are usually expressed when one friend feels wronged by another one. Perhaps one didn’t take turns on the climbing wall or another one didn’t want to sit and read a book together. Whatever the case, it always seems like the quickest and easiest way for these young minds to express their anger and hurt is to quickly lash out with their words. And , the ones they tend to say are: you’re not my friend.But, what do those four words really mean? To my young son, he’s always taken it to heart and thought it to mean that the child really does n’t want to be his friend ever again. As a parent, I know the words are just words. And, that in no time , the children will once again be laughing and playing together in the classroom and out on the playground. But, to the child whose feelings are hurt, it’s hard for them to get past those four words.But, I know that life as a child is more than just those four words. And, in reality, childhood friendships can and do last a lifetime and can be an inspiration to us all. So, with Valentine’s Day quickly a pproaching, I’m encouraging both of my sons to scrawl three words on each of the cards they hand out to their classmates or just say throughout the day: be my friend.28.What makes kids feel upset is that ________.A.they fail to find anyone to share their sadnessB.they hope to be understood by their parentsC.they can’t stand hearing some unkind wordsD.they can’t get any words from their friends29.What do parents think of the four words?A.They bring deep hurt to their childrenB.They really think little of the words.C.They w ish t o find new words for them.D.They try to stop kids talking like that.30.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.the author is a famous expert in educationB.the three words are expected to be powerfulC.the kids will never have a fight in the futureD.the author hopes to be friends with many kids31.What is the proper title for the passage?A.“Be My Friend” for Valentine’s DayB.Kids Play Jokes on Each OtherC.Parents Take Care of Their KidsD.I Don’t Want to Be Your FiendDThe Pew report---which was based on surveys carried out in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland and the Czech Republic --- concluded that the European Union was “ the new sick man of Europe”.The percentage of Europeans with a favorable view of the EU has plunged from 60 percent last year to 45 percent now.The UK may be considered the most Eurosceptic（欧洲怀疑论者）country, but its support for the union has barely changed in the past 12 months, slipping only two points to 43 percent.By contrast, France’s backing for the E U has slipped sharply, from 60 percent last year to 41 percent today.On the question of whether to remain in the EU, 46 percent of the British want to leave the union and surprisingly, the same percentage want to stay.The Pew report’s authors said, “The long-drawn economic crisis has created bad forces that are pulling European public opinion apart, separating the French from the Germans and Germans from everyone else.”They added, “The effort over the past half century to create a more united Europe is n ow the main disaster of the euro crisis. The European project now stands in a bad reputation across much of Europe.”The only European leader rated highly by their own voters was the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with 74 percent voters in favor of her.Prime Minister David Cameron was the next highest with a positive score of 37 percent among the British public, although he can take some comfort from the fact that 58 percent of Poles and half of all French people think he is doing a good job.In spite of the dark economic future and growing doubt of the EU, there were strong majorities of more than 60 percent in favor of keeping the euro in the five countries surveyed that use the single currency.32. Which of the following is TRUE about th e recent Pew report?A. The UK has the smallest number of people against the EU.B. There’s a slight change of the UK’s support for the EU.C.

More than 60 percent of the Europeans are in favor of keeping the euro.D. Angela Merkel has 74 percent voters supporting her.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find night times the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easi er. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life.

This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students, Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses t help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.21.According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to ______A. perform well in studiesB. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates betterD. feel lonely and even suicidal22.The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Pa ragraph 3 most probably means “___”.A. unpopularB. meaningfulC. abnormalD. exciting23.What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m..B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.24. We may infer from the last paragraph that ____.A. all electronics students hate the banning orderB. some students complain about the banning orderC. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever sinceD. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the InternetBWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be leaves ---but artificial(人造的)ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis. Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts. Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell, which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the America n Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera’s recent discovery of several powerful, new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one . Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesn’t need pure water. This is important for some countries that don’t have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries, specially in India and rural China.25.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?A. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenB. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellC. the artificial leaves are put in waterD. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. c,a,b,dB. c,b,a,dC. b,c,a,dD. c,a,d,b26.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to____A. build up more power stations in the worldB. provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC. offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process27. The main idea of this passage is ______A. an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB. a mixture of water power and solar energyC. giving energy to the poorD. an invention copying photosynthesisCIn December, 2010, many American newspapers publish a list of the best books of the year. Freedom by Jonathan Franzen is one of the most repeatedly praised books on this year’s list of favorites. It tells about the ups and downs of the Berglund family over many years. Mr. Franzenfills the book with sharp observations about American politics, culture and society.Jennifer Egan’s book A Visit from the Goon Squad takes place in 13 chapters over 40 years. The story moves back and forth in time, from different viewpoints. One main character is former rock musician Bennie Salazar who works for a record company. The other main character is a troubled young woman named Sasha who works for Bennie. The reader learns about their pasts and those of their friends.The main character in The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is a failing English Language newspaper published in Rome, Italy. Each chapter of the book tells about a reporter or editor working for this paper. Their stories are filled with intelligence and treat personality.Two of the most popular non-fiction books of 2010 were about rock and roll stars. Just kids is by rock singer Patti Smith. It tells about her friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 1970s before they became famous. Life is the autobiography of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. It is an honest and exciting look at the development of rock and roll and the wild times this famous band has experienced.Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand tells about a man named Louis Zamperini. She tells about his extraordinary survival story after his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean during World War Two. Stacy Schiff has received great praise for her book Cleopatra: A Life. It tells about one of the most misrepresented and famous women in his story, Cleopatra. She ruled ancient Egypt about 2000 years ago. One critic said Ms. Schiff has brought Cleopatra to life again by unearthing her story from centuries of lies.28. The following books are related to music EXCEPT____A. The ImperfectionistsB. A Visit from the Goon SquadC. Just kidsD. Life29. If your major is the history of ancient Africa, you may pay attention to____A. Freedom by Jonathan FranzenB. Unbroken by Laura HillenbrandC. The Imperfectionists by Tom RachmanD. Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff30.Which book will give you a practical understanding of the USA?A. LifeB. Cleopatra: A LifeC. FreedomD. A Visit from the Goon Squad31. The last sentence of the passage implies that_____A. Stacy Schiff is an archaeologistB. the critic finds the character in the book very realC. the critic speaks highly of Cleopatra in historyD. Stacy Schiff tells a story about an imaginary Egyptian queenDI want to talk about the econom y. Not “the economy” we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians’ speeches. I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day.Most people aren’t particularly interested in “the economy”. “Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472.35” We hear this and subconsciously switch off.Notice that “the economy” is not the same as the economy, “The economy” is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth. The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life.We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society. So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives. Our towns become more and more crowded. We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals. There’s something w rong here. If timeswere truly good, then you may think we’d all feel optimistic about the future. Yet the majority of us are deeply worried. More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations.The term “economic expansion” suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money. More spending doesn’t mean that life is getting better. We all know it often means the opposite-greed, crime, poverty, pollution. More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption. Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down. If we don’t keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate. How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions. We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world. We create mountains of waste. We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land.The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior. Our main problem is not tha t we don’t know what to do about it. It is gathering the desire to do it.32. According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?A. The Dow Jones Index.B. Increases in interest rates.C. Shopping in a supermarket.D. Skyrocketing share prices.33.It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that____.A. people are benefiting from a well-off societyB. the future generation is a big concern for most peopleC. the majority of people are optimistic about the futureD. people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices34. What is TRUE about economic expansion?A. It may lead to some social problems.B. It guarantees a better life for us.C. It will stop the circulation of money.D. It has only brought desirable effects.35. The author writes the passage mainly to___.A. suggest a solution for over-consumptionB. call on us to change our behaviorC. make a distinction between two economiesD. inform us of the effects of economic expansion第二部分：七选五Flash Mob: The Pop CultureIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel s urprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? 71 . Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. 72 . At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy’s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 73Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 74 . They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.75 People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together.

The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “W hat is this?” I asked.“Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.”I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on it.See, this is what I’ve done so far.”I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”“Oh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.21.Why did the author go to mother’s home?A. To see her mother’s quilts.B. To help prepare for a show.C. To get together for the family dinner.D. To discuss her grandmother’s life.22. The author was surprised because .A. the quilt looked very strange.B. her grandmother liked the quilt.C. the quilt was the best she had seen.D. her mother had made some changes23. The underlined wood “crooked” in the passage most probably means .A. unfinishedB. brokenC. bentD. unusual24. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Quilt ShowB. Mother’s HomeC.A Monday DinnerD. Grandmother’s QuiltBWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.25. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.A. become serious about her studyB. go to her friend’s house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at schoolD. share poems and stories with her friend26. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC. our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD. we parted with each other in London27. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.A. call each other regularlyB. have similar personalitiesC. enjoy writing to each otherD. dream of meeting each other28. What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble CompanionsCTales From Animal HospitalDavid CrantDavid Grant has become a familiar face to millions of fans of Animal Hospital. Here Dr Crant tells us the very best of his personal stories about the animals he has treated, including familiar patients such as the dogs Snowy and Duchess, the delightful cat Marigold Serendipity Diamond.

To sell the booksDEveryone agrees that it’s necessary to redu ce carbon emissions （排放物）around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap – and – trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?With cap – and – trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap – and – trade has the upper hand, but doesn’t defeat the tax just yet.Supporters of the tax argue that a cap – and – trade system would be too difficult to administer – and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap – and – trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower – income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.32. The passage focuses on_________.A. programs of collecting taxesB. systems of reducing carbon emissionsC. reasons for reducing carbon emissionsD. contradictions between the two systems33. According to the cap – and – trade program, companies_________ .A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionC. can sell their remaining allowance within their limitsD. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price34. Carbon taxes work by _________.A. burdening well – off familiesB. encouraging industries to consume carbonC. raising the price for carbon consumptionD. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only35. The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to_________.A. limitB. creditC. levelD. rate第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. __36__. Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?__37__. With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. __38__. This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. __39__. While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. __40__. Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement.

Dakota Fanning's Spelling TestBIt has been said laughter is the best medicine, but no one has yet to prove it. Now a Japanese scientist is unlocking the secrets of the funny bone, which he believes can cheer up people’s genes.Genes are usually regarded as immutable( 不变的), but in reality more than 90 per cent of them are dormant or less active in producing protein, so some types of stimulation(刺激) can wake them up.Geneticist Kazuo Murakami’s tentative theory is that laughter is one such stimulant, which can trigger(引发) energy inside a person’s DNA potentially helping cure disease. “If we prove people can switch genes on and off by emotion like laughter, it may be the finding of the century which should be worth the Nobel Prize or even go beyond that,” said Murakami.Three years ago, Murakami and Yoshimoto Kogyo Co Ltd, a leading entertainment company, jointly carried out their first experiment to let diabetics(糖尿病人) laugh ata comedy show performed by the firm’s top stand—up comedians after listening to a monotonous(单调的) college lecture. The two—day experiment showed that their blood glucose levels—a key gauge(标准) for development of diabetes—became lower after they laughed compared with those after listening to the yawning lecture. His latest experiment with the entertainment firm spotted at least 23 genes that can be activated. Eighteen of them are designed to work for immune response, signal transduction and cell cycle, while functions of the remaining five others are still unknown.Having a good laugh has long been thought of as therapeuti c(治疗学). Laughter has been taught by yoga masters in India, home to a growing number of “laughing clubs” whose members get together just to enjoy a chuckle. With the research still in its early stages, a Japanese medical publisher, under the editorial guidance of Murakami’s research team, began selling DVDs last year instructing patients with diabetes on how to laugh.The ministry of economy, trade and industry believes that laughter therapy could be put to good use in a project as demand grows for preventi ve medical care. “ If the relation between laughter and health is proved scientifically, it may have a big impact on ways to improve health.” Said Hikaru Horiguchi , an official of the ministry.60. Laughter is said to be the best medicine, _______.A. and scientists believe itB. which has been proved in one way or anotherC. which seems to prove trueD. because it is the cheapest61. Which of the following is TRUE about the Japanese geneticist ?A. Murakami has been cooperating with different entertainment companiesB. Murakami insists that laughter has nothing to do with stimulantsC. He is a Nobel Prize winnerD. His latest experiment shows that 23 more genes can be activated62.The underlined word “ dormant “ in the second paragraph most probably means “______”.A. unchangeableB. inactiveC. unusualD. potential63. Which can be the best title of the text ?A. Murakami—a Great Japanese ScientistB. Laughter—the Best MedicineC. Cooperation between Scientists and Entertainment CompaniesD.

In the television programmes we often see pandas playing funny games. Children have panda toys and beautiful cards with pictures of lovely pandas playing funny games. They often visit the giant pandas in the zoo on their holidays and have a good time there.However, scientist are worried about the future of giant pandas. They know only about 1000 giant pandas remain alive today. They think the giant panda will die out in 30 years if the present conditions are not improved.It is reported that the giant pandas have a very low birthrate. About 115 pandas live in the zoos and research centers mainly in China, but during the past 10 years they produced only 34 young pandas that are still alive. Survival rate for giant pandas in the wild are probably the same or lower.There are several reasons for the low birthrate. The main reasons is that male pandas can make love with females in a very short season-only a few days in a few days in a year. When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for both of them. The newborn pandas weigh only a few grams each. They are too weak to live without special care. In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers care for the young pandas, but those living in the wild do not get enough help. It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years. Pandas in China continue to reduce in number. We know pandas live on bamboos. But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die. The pandas there have nothing to eat and die of hunger.Giant pandas now live in 13 separate protected areas in China. Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed on a projecting giant pandas in the wild .We hope it could be helpful.68. According to this passage, we know most of the giant pandas live _____A. in the wild all over the worldB. in the zoos and research centersC. in the area where there are plenty of bamboos for them to eatD. in thirteen separate protected areas in our country69. Scientists are worried about the future of the giant pandas because ______A. sometimes all of the bamboos die in the area where the giant pandas live andthey have nothing to eatB. giant pandas that still live in the wild cannot get enough help from humansC. only a small number of giant pandas remain alive today and their birth-rate is toolowD. male and female giant pandas often refuse to make love in the right season70. The low survival rate of young giant pandas has much to do with the fact that______A. mother pandas are usually unable to care for both young pandas bornB. female pandas are able to have baby pandas only in a special timeC. male and female pandas often refuse to have babies in the right timeD. young pandas weigh only a few grams each71. If the present conditions are not improved, giant pandas in the world willdisappear _____.A. in less than a few yearsB. in several yearsC. in the forties next centuryD. in the thirties next centuryEThousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot(积累奖金) in history.More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers form 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million. But that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized(合法化的) gambling. Some critics(批评家) note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts(成瘾者) who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangements just allows states to legalize vice(恶习), under the name of social progress.No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.72.
