Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Second, what’s a patent infringement? This is where someone creates something the same assomeone else’s patented 56 . Whether this is done intentionally or 57 , they have still caused a patent 58 , and they may be faced with a legal case.The biggest patent war currently taking place in the mobile phone world is between Apple and Samsung. Apple 59 the first shot in 2011, filing a lawsuit that claimed Samsung copied many of its patented ideas in its own Android phones. However, Samsung wasn’t willing to back down, and soon 60 by filing lawsuits in Japan, South Korea and Germany. By July last year, Apple and Samsung were involved in more than 50 lawsuits around the world.Both companies believe the other stole 61 for their own smart-phones.But the big question is over whether the rules on creating patents should be 62 . If one company has the rights to an important piece of mobile phone technology, it risks leading to a lack of competition, and prices will remain 63 . On the other hand, companies are interested in one thing: making a 64 . And so it’s unlikely that they’ll “back off” to allow competition to flourish (活跃).

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.People blind from birth can be taught to “see” images that are conveyed as sounds, says a new study that calls into question a 41 belief about the limits of the human brain.Devices that scan visual images and re-interpret regularities as sounds were used to re-train the brains of born-blind people in a study published this week in the journal Neuron. The authors — at the Safra Center for Brain Science at Hebrew University in Israel — put people who had been blind since birth through 70 hours of training with a visual-to-auditory sensory (感官的) substitution 42 .Initially, the subjects were able to 43 among faces, houses, everyday objects, and body shapes. They were able to read letters and words, identify facial expressions and locate people’s positions 44 . In one video, a blind person is shown a picture of a woman with a ponytail and identified the hairstyle.Blind people have long used the capability to use another sensory ability to make up for blindness: Braille and blind walking canes allow people without sight to read and navigate. But when the authors of the current study put subjects in a brain scanner, they 45 insight into the process by which training with a sensory substitu tion device allowed the mind’s eye to “see”.The human brain is a 46 efficient and adaptable organ: when a sensory perception such as sight is lost, the specialized regions of the brain in which input from the eyes is processed are 47 to other duties.But scientists have long believed that the brain’s 48 is limited by early conditions: when a person is born blind, the capacity of the brain’s visual cortex (大脑皮层) to process sight never develops, scientists have believed. With that 49 opportunity, a window is closed, and even if eyesight were to be restored, the visual cortex, they believed, would forever remain “blind” to images.III.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the onethat fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I believe that memory is never lost, even when it seems to be, because it has more to do with the heart than the mind.At the same time my 44-year-old husband, Ed, was losing his life, my mother was losing her ability to remember. She forgot how to start the car, whether or not she had eaten and which family members had died — including my father.I became afraid that one day I, too, would be unable to recall my husband, not because of Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆), but simply because my memory of him might disappear. So from the day of Ed’s diagnosis (诊断) until his death a year later, I set out to memorize him. I’d always be able to recite his qualities — kind, gentle, smart, funny — but I wanted to be able to think about the physical man in my mind as fully as possible when he was gone.Later I learnt that memory has a will of its own. You can’t control it any more than you can influence the weather. When it springs up, a person loved and lost is found, even just for a few seconds.Recently, when I was driving, I had a deep and sudden sense of Ed, and the way it felt to have him next to me in the car. My body softened as it used to when we were together seven years ago, living a shared life. I wasn’t remembering his face or the way he walked; the careful details I had stored had nothing to do with this moment in the car. And my mom’s brain couldn’t label my father correctly, but that was not important. It was clear to me that her husband was vivid in her heart, a memory even Alzheimer’s could not destroy.I believe there is a difference between memory and remembering. Remembering has something to do with turning the oven off before leaving the house, but memory is nurtured by emotion. It springs from a deeper well, safe from the passage of time.65.Ed is _____.A. the author’s motherB. the author’s fatherC. the author’s husbandD. a physical man66.Memory has its own will so _____.A. the weather can’t control our m emoryB. it may happen anytime and anywhereC. it can spring up for a few secondsD. it is safe from a passage of time67.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Alzeimer’s is not very harmful to human beings.B. A physical man must be kind, gentle, smart, funny.C. Memory has much to do with the deep emotion in one’s heart.D. Good memory begins with turning the oven off before leaving.68.What is the best title of the passage?A. Memory — the deeper well from our heartB. Differences between memory and rememberingC. Alzheimer’s can never destroy our memoryD. Memory — the passage of time69.The letter is probably from _____.A. Supervisor Management UnitB. Thames Valley PoliceC. Criminal Justice SystemD. Crime Reduction Committee70.Ms. Adamczak is _____.A. a victim in a crimeB. a famous crime-news reporterC. a professional policemanD. a detective in clearing up crimes71.What does the word “leads” most probably mean?A. Clue.B. Darkness.C. Investigation.D. Contact.(C)72.The infant who begins to smile or laugh early will _____.A. have more advantages of development in growth and healthB. suffer from schizophrenic psychosis and even die in later lifeC. become a more subtle laughter when he or she grows upD. be more likely to take a whole life to perfect smiling and laughing73.The expression “the first” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.A. a leading factorB. recalling evening activitiesC. mastery over anxietiesD. learning to laugh74.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. The more you laugh and smile, the more likely you will be to succeed.B. Smile and laugh show your ability to overpower weakness and anxieties.C. Mastering social relationships means having a sense of humor.D. Scientists are more likely to go into laughing with no apparent reason.75.What is the best title of the passage?A. Beyond Laughter— A new book with fruitful findingsB. Smiling — A new mastery over anxietiesC. An important sign of confidence and successD. The function and meanings of smilingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.77.We have a whole list of what we describe as “emerging” risk factors. Scientific evidence links them to the development of heart disease, although the strength of the evidence is not as solid as the evidence for the links between heart disease and high blood pressure or smoking.78.Not all doctors and hospitals are the same. Your health is too important not to do some research. Most people spend more time researching a new car than they do a heart surgeon. Ask questions. Get second opinions. Make sure that you get the best for your health. And don’t be worried about offending a doctor by going elsewhere for a second opinion. All of these are what you should be clear about.79.Too many patients wrongly believe in the claims for diets and dietary supplements. We have had many patients stop treatments because they have been convinced that a particular diet will reverse their heart disease. Improving heart health by taking dietary supplements is a totally national rumor.80.Exercise. Too many patients stay at home and sit before computer desks. We’d like to see everybody make the time to exercise for 30 minutes a day. It’s simple. Find a friend and go for a walk. You can even split it up into 10- or 15-minute increments. Maybe, it’s a new begin for some patients.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.The purpose of Berland and Schoen’s research is to __________.82.What is the leading factor that helps individuals to be successful according to Berland and Schoen?83.How will a Natural-Born Leader feel when he is told to finish some challenging tasks?84.Berland and Schoen have studied Independent Seekers in the two aspects: __________.第II卷（共45分）I.

They would only be able to leave waste on the public highway for collectio n during two-hour-long periods —from 5pm to 6pm, and from 5am to 6am. Collections of residentia l and commercial waste are then timed between 6am and 8am, and 6pm and 8pm. Those residents who fail to meet the restrictions will pay a fine.The public committee says it hopes the move will “improve the cleanliness and overall street environment” by reducing the amount of time waste is left on the street for collect ion. In a statement the committee said: “To keep the town’s streets clean is taking another positive step with proposals to introduce a time-specific waste collection plan in Dayton.”However with many working residents likely to arrive home from work after 6pm, homeowners will be forced to rise at 5am to put out their waste. The committee said: “It will help improve the cleanliness of our streets and make our town centres morepleasant and attractive for all.” An informal consultation on the proposals wil l take place over the coming weeks when officers will be speaking to businesses and residents about the plans.(Now listen again)Questions:14.

They have sales on their TVs and CD-players every once in a while.M: Hum. I’ll bet they send you their ads loaded with so-cal led “SALES”!W: I’ll admit some of their items are high-priced, but at least the shopper has guaranteed quality. There are very few places that have such a wide selection.M: I need to buy disks, at least two disk holders, note cards, and that kind of stuff.W: For office supplies, I suggest Office Max.M: You know, one good thing about living in a campus town, though, is that you can easily get that stuff at any of the bookstores. No doubt they do overcharge. I try to get around that by shopping around.W: Shopping around?M: Yes. That simply means you go to different stores, check out the prices of items you need and purchase them from the store(s) with the lowest price or prices.W: I see.

Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternativethan to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was ab le to eat its fruit. But the other man‘s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God‘s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, ―Why are you leaving your companion on the island?‖―My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,‖ the first man answered. ―His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn‘t deserve anything.‖―You are mistaken!‖ the voice rebuked him. ―He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have receiv ed any of my blessings.‖―Tell me,‖ the first man asked the voice, ―what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?‖―He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.‖For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.65.The first man‘s wife is _____.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island66.

He met with a bipartisan (concerning or involving two different political parties) group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Later he met individually with Democratic and Republican House and Senate leaders and spoke to a bipartisan leadership gathering. Incomments to reporters early on Monday, he emphasized the urgency of finalizing economic legislation (立法). ―We have got an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us,‖ he said, ―We are expecting a sobering job report at the end of the week. Nancy Pelosi and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so that we can shape an ec onomic recovery and reinvestment plan that starts putting people back to work.‖Mr. Obama wants tax cuts for individual Americans and businesses to make up a significant portion of expected legislation. This could involve as much as $300 billion of a bill that is likely to go beyond $700 billion and include aid to cash-poor U.S. states, and money for alternative energy and a range of infrastructure (基础设施) projects. Later, Mr. Obama said he expects to be able to sign legislation as soon as the end of this mo nth, adding that quick action is necessary to ―break the drive of the U.S. economic depression‖.Emerging later from bipartisan talks with Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers discussed with the president how to pass a stimulus package as quickly as poss ible. ―An economic recovery package that will create jobs immediately and will grow the economy and that is what we talked about today,‖ said Nancy Pelosi. ―How we could do this fast, deliberatively and to act upon it soon.‖ Just how soon that would be, Pe losi would not say.How much support Democrats can obtain from Republicans will depend on the details. But the severity of the U.S. economic depression has created considerable bipartisan backing for quick action. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said: ―There are investments that we need to make on behalf of the American people to turn around this economy. We felt very good about the meeting; we are confident that we can do this and we have to do this.‖―I think the best thing I can do is to decline to co mment on what they are going to do going forward,‖ said Dana Perino. ―Obviously, we think that tax cuts were the right way to help our economy get out of the economic depression that this president inherited and we know that tax cuts can stimulate innovati on.‖ Asked by reporters how large the economic stimulus package might be, Senate Majority Leader Reid said Obama indicated that all but one of some 28 economists advising him had said it should range from $800 billion to $1.3 trillion.72. Barack Obama urged congressional leaders and met with bipartisan leaders to _____.A. take over the White HouseB. end economic declineC. understand each other betterD. negotiate political issues73.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Factors that influence reactions to pollutantsB. Possible sources of indoor air pollutionC. Ways to identify diseases with similar symptomsD. Long-term effects after repeated exposureE. A commonly-ignored health threatF. Immediate symptoms and regular treatment76.Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health, but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects. Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90％of their time indoors.77.There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home. These include combustion sources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, and tobacco products; building mater ials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products; products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies; central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices; and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.78.Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure or repeated exposures. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of the pollution, if it can be identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity and fever, may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants.79.The likelihood of immediate reactions to indoor air pollutants depends on several factors. Age and pre-existing medical conditions are two important influences. In other cases, whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity, which varies tremendously from person to person. Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures, and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well.80.Certain immediate effects are similar to those from colds or other viral diseases, so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the time and place the symptoms occur. If the symptoms fade or go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns, an effort should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Children and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to have antisocial and criminal behavior when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics. The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. ―Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest antisocial behavior and personality traits.‖Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first ‗real-life‘ study that has asked about TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistentwith most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we‘re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing ra tes of antisocial behavior in society,‖ says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children's television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

The latest __41__ on superfast broadband delivered by fiber to the home (FTTH) show 18% growth over the last survey compiled in late 2008.The continued growth suggests that the __42__ economic decline has not hit plans to build fiber networks. Sweden __43__ the list of nations applying the technology, with 10.9% of its broadband customers using fiber. Karel Helsen, president of Europe’s Fiber-To-The-Home Council, said the growth matched predictions that were __44__ when the credit crisis started to make itself felt. “The numbers in 2009 are in line with the latest forecasts,” said Mr. Helsen.By 2012, the FTTH Council expects that 13 million people across 35 European nations will have their broadband delivered by fiber. Such services would start at a speed of 100 megabits per second (mbps), said Mr. Helsen. Around Europe more than 233 projects were underway to lay the fibers that would __45__ homes or buildings to the net, said Mr. Helsen.

Local governments were interested in FTTH because of the economic and social __46__ it brought in its wake, said Mr. Helsen.The low delay in high-speed fiber networks made __47__ new uses of broadband, he said. “No delay is very important,” he said, “specifically if you talk about __48__ that are time-dependent such as personal communications, conference calls or video calls where delays cause a lot of trouble.” While early FTTH services were __49__ in cities, said Mr. Helsen, many more were reaching out to rural areas for e-health and e-learning projects.III.

The same problem, on a smaller__50__, faces practically every company trying to __51__ new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know. While banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally __52__ to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in __53__ for a share in future profits. This they do by __54__ stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. Bydoing so they can put into circulation the savings of __55__ and organizations, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. __56__, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to __57__ his money.Many of the __58__ needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not __59__. All these require __60__ spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries __61__ frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is __62__ a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not __63__ the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange __64__ to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.50.

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)A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternativethan to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.65. The first man’s wife is _____.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island66.

He met with a bipartisan (concerning or involving two different political parties) group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Later he met individually with Democratic and Republican House and Senate leaders and spoke to a bipartisan leadership gathering. In comments to reporters early on Monday, he emphasized the urgency of finalizing economic legislation(立法). “We have got an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us,” he said, “We are expecting a sobering job report at the end of the week. Nancy Pelosi and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so that we can shape an economic recovery and reinvestment plan that starts putting people back to work.”Mr. Obama wants tax cuts for individual Americans and businesses to make up a significant portion of expected legislation. This could involve as much as $300 billion of a bill that is likely to go beyond $700 billion and include aid to cash-poor U.S. states, and money for alternative energy and a range of infrastructure(基础设施) projects. Later, Mr. Obama said he expects to be able to sign legislation as soon as the end of this month, adding that quick action is necessary to “break the drive of the U.S. economic depression”.Emerging later from bipartisan talks with Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers discussed with the president how to pass a stimulus package as quickly as possible. “An economic recovery package that will create jobs immediately an d will grow the economy and that is what we talked about today,” said Nancy Pelosi. “How we could do this fast, deliberatively and to act upon it soon.” Just how soon that would be, Pelosi would not say.How much support Democrats can obtain from Republicans will depend on the details. But the severity of the U.S. economic depression has created considerable bipartisan backing for quick action. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said: “There are investments that we need to make on behalf of the American people to turn around this economy. We felt very good about the meeting; we are confident that we can do this and we have to do this.”“I think the best thing I can do is to decline to comment on what they are going to do going forward,” said Dana Perino. “Ob viously, we think that tax cuts were the right way to help our economy get out of the economic depression that this president inherited and we know that tax cuts can stimulate innovation.” Asked by reporters how large the economic stimulus package might be, Senate Majority Leader Reid said Obama indicated that all but one of some 28 economists advising him had said it should range from $800 billion to $1.3 trillion.72. Barack Obama urged congressional leaders and met with bipartisan leaders to _____.A. take over the White HouseB. end economic declineC. understand each other betterD. negotiate political issues73. I f the stimulus package is passed quickly and successfully, it can _____.A. obtain support from RepublicansB. finalize economic legislationC. enhance America’s international positionD. provide job opportunities74. W hat is the bipartisan leaders’ attitude towards this meeting?A. Uncertain.B. Hopeful.C. Disappointed.D. Indifferent.75. What can we infer from the passage?A. The best way out of the economic depression is tax cuts.B. The Republic Party plays the key role in coping with the economic depression.C. Democrats and Republicans will team up in the economic depression.D. When the stimulus package will be passed is known to the lawmakers. Section C76many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects. Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors.indoor air pollution in any home. These include combustion sources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, and tobacco products; building materials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products; products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies; central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices; and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of thepollution, if it can be identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity and fever, may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants.factors. Age and pre-existing medical conditions are two important influences. In other cases, whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity, which varies tremendously from person to person. Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures, and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well.so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the time and place the symptoms occur. If the symptoms fade or go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns, an effort should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes.Section DChildren and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to have antisocial and criminal behavior when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics. The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are born naturally to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to adapt the 41 schedule of shift work (轮班) — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this 42 acceptable to you, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep in a(n) 43 condition. This means you may have to unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and ask your family and friends to 44 you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap. When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to 45 energy and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine.It’s best if you go to sl eep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to 46 this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be 47 to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine (尼古丁) to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But in the end these choices are moreharmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough 48 sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medical treatment may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be a potential sleep disorder that needs to be 49 as soon as possible.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: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 dreams of being successful. Does anyone think of the mere question as to what elements 50 success, if there is any? Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost 51 to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it? At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the 52 of 1,500 distinguished people selected at random from who’s who in America. Our research finds out a number of 53that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.Common sense is the most obvious quality 54 by our participants. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And Sixty-one percent say that common sense was very important in 55 their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical 56 on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside 57 ideas and get right to the key of what matters.A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is58 . In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry, 59 a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be 60 . He owes his success to learning how to debate in school. Another way to 61 your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that 62 success: in order for you to achieve anything in your career, you have to first believe. You need to believe in yourself that you can achieve it, that is, you need to have 63 in your goals and your path to that success. However, nothing moves until you do something. Belief alone is not going to achieve anything for you. It must be followed up with concrete 64 . Your plan for career success is nothing unless you act upon it whole-heartedly.50. A. define B. determine C. estimate D. prove51. A. especially B. properly C. inevitably D. alternatively52. A. opinions B. theories C. capabilities D. requirements53. A. challenges B. attractions C. qualifications D. qualities54. A. possessed B. recommended C. proposed D. achieved55. A. thinking about B. approving of C. making out D. contributing to56. A. performances B. judgments C. characters D. principles57. A. original B. common C. extra D. moderate58. A. advancing B. persevering C. simplifying D. revising59. A. reducing B. comparing C. applying D. referring60. A. protected B. maintained C. observed D. developed61. A. add to B. get over C. keep up D. go through62. A. create B. influence C. judge D. attract63. A. preparation B. attempt C. faith D. support64. A. thought B. progress C. plan D. actionSection BDirections: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)Last spring, employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies. A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike. Here is part of the report.●Hartville’s overtime pay is well below the national level, and overtime is obligedat least once a week.●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rateof repetitive (重复的) stress injury. The equipment they are working with is extremely oldand dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards. The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately.●Sick and personal day policies are unclear. Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days, which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action.●In the past four years, five pregnant women with clean work records were dismissed soon after their pregnancies were public. In all five cases, the reasons for firing were not specifically clear, although one of the employees was told by her immediate supervisor that new mothers make very unreliable employees.●Hartville’s upper management is largely unaware of the dis satisfaction of employees. Evidence shows that middle management delays vital information leading to upper management’s underestimation of the seriousness of employee dissatisfaction.65. Why do Hartville employees have a high rate of repetitive stress injury?A. Because the management policy is out of date.B. Because their pays are extremely low.C. Because Hartville’s equipment is below stan dard.D. Because sick and personal day policies are not clear.66. O ne reason that the Hartville”s upper management is unresponsive is that ________.A. they are more concerned with saving money than protecting employeesB. they are unaware of the degree of dissatisfaction among their employeesC. the company authority restricts its management functionD. they have not been trained in the latest management techniques67. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the findings?A. A suggestion to raise employees’ pay and reduce work time.B. A description of employees being unfairly dismissed.C. A comparison between overtime pay at Hartville and the national average.D. A finding about a problem within middle management.(B)Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels(松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.68. The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A. find out the living conditions for squirrelsB. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut treesC. do something to get rid of squirrelsD. save the forests in the American state of Indiana69. The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.A. the way they gather the walnutB. the time they have winter sleepC. the place they have winter sleepD. the place they store the walnuts70. When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.A. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsB. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsC. nuts above the ground will not develop into plantsD. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest71. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.B. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.C. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.D. The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.(C)Television is a relatively stable advertising medium. In many ways, the television ads today are almost the same to those two decades ago. Most television ads still feature actors, still run 30 or 60 seconds, and still show a product. However, the different medium of the Internet causes unique challenges to advertisers, forcing them to adapt their practices and techniques.In the early days of Internet marketing, online advertisers used banner(框式广告) and pop-up ads (弹出式广告) to attract customers. These techniques reached large audiences, led to many sales leads, and came at a low cost. However, a small number of Internet users began to consider these advertising techniques annoying. Yet because marketing strategies relying heavily on banners and pop-ups produced results, companies invested growing amounts of money into purchasing these ad types. As consumers became more complicated, frustration with these online advertising techniques grew. Independent programmers began to develop tools that blocked banner and pop-up ads.A major development in online marketing came with the introduction of pay-per-click ads. Unlike banner or pop-up ads, which originally required companies to pay every time a website visitor saw an ad, pay-per-click ads allowed companies to pay only when an interested potential customer clicked on an ad. More importantly, however, these ads are not affected by the pop-up and banner blockers. As a result of these advantages and the incredible growth in the use of search engines, which provide excellent places for pay-per-click advertising, a great number of companies began turning to pay-per-click marketing. However, as with the banner and pop-up ads, pay-per-click ads came with their shortcomings. When companies began pouring billions of dollars into this emerging medium, online advertising specialists started to notice the presence of what would later be called click fraud (欺诈): representatives of a company with no interest in the pro duct advertised by a competitor click on the competitor’s ads simply to increase the marketing cost of the competitor. Click fraud grew so rapidly that marketers sought to diversify (摆脱) their online positions away from pay-per-click marketing through new mediums.Although pay-per-click advertising remains a common and effective advertising tool, marketers adapted yet again to the changing elements of the Internet by adopting new techniques such as pay-per-performance advertising. As the pace of the Interne t’s evolution increases, it seems all the more likely that advertising successfully on the Internet will require a strategy thatavoids constancy (持续性) and welcomes change.72. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The pace of the Internet’s evolution is increasing and will only increase in the future.B. Internet advertising fails to reach Internet users, causing ads to be blocked.C. The Internet has experienced dramatic changes in short periods of time.D. Rapid development of the Internet calls for new advertising strategies and mediums.73. As an advertising medium, the television and the Internet mainly differ in ________.A. the type of individual each medium reachesB. whether the medium is interactiveC. the pace at which the medium developsD. the cost of advertising with each medium74. According to the passage, which of the following is a typical click fraud?A. Using software to block competitors’ advertisements.B. Clicking on the pay-per-click ads of competitors.C. Clicking on the banner advertisements of opponent companies.D. Using search engine to attack the pages of competitors.75. What does the author imply about the future of pay-per-performance advertising?A. It will eventually become less popular just like other forms of Internet advertising.B. It will not face shortcomings due to its differing approach to online marketing.C. Internet users will develop free software to block its effectiveness.D. Although it improves on pay-per-click advertising, it still suffers from click fraud.Section CDirections: 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.There are increasing fears of global warming. Consequently, many countries are focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy. This shift will lead to major changes in the supply and use ofelectricity. To meet these challenges, countries are investing in Smart Grid(智能电网) technology.This system aims toprovide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand to create a more efficient power network.Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the electricity network. The computer system can be used to collect information about supply and demand and improve engineer’s ability to manage the system. With better information about electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential reductions in fuel needs and carbon emissions (排放).78. Smart Grid technology is profitable to consumers too. They will be able to collect real-time information on their energy use for each appliance. Varying tariffs (收费标准) throughout the day will give customers the motivation to use appliances at times when supply greatly exceeds (超过) demand, leading to great reductions in bills.79. With these changes comes a range of things to be overcome. The first involves managing the supply and demand. Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as nations switch to alternative energy sources, is inflexible. A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions.80. Although Smart Technology is still in its infancy, experimental plans to promote and test it are already underway. Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters which can be used in their homes to manage electricity use. Cities are investing money into smart energy, due to the high population density and high energy use. It is here where Smart Technology is likely to be promoted first, making use of a range of sustainable (可持续的) power sources, transport solutions.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin’s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determinati on are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers’ characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?82. Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?83. Besides learning to design beautiful dresses, students are also taught _______________.84. According to the last paragraph, ____________________ are the two things fashion designershave to consider when working as employees.第II 卷(共45分)I.

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——简答宝山区,杨浦区，静安区，青浦区Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Children and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to have antisocial and criminal behavior when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics. The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. “Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest antisocial behavior and personality traits.”Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first …real-life‟ study that has asked about TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we‟re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society,” says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children's television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today‟s relatively high stan dard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor p eople in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. And over 10 percent of the poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation(动力),they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society‟s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 2010 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs (破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition(军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.The United States government issued an ultimatum(最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender.More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown.Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode, why didn‟t witnesses see a splash in the water? Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?With the mystery still unsolved, the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81.

Katrina Leupp, a researcher,suggests that rather than trying to do everything themselves,working women should get family members or others to help with the housework and not feel guilty about leaving work early when family duty calls. High earners can follow the lead of actress Anna Friel, who let out her secret to dealing with work and being a mother at the same time ---employing two maids.A researcher from the University of Washington said:”Employment is beneficial for women”s health,even when differences in marital(婚姻的) satisfaction and working full-or part-time are ruled out .” But the analysis also found that not all working mothers are equally happy. The women with “supermum” attitudes as young adults showed more signs of depression, the American Sociological Society‟s annual conference stated. Women who try to do it all without any help are more likely to feel they are failures when things do not go to plan. Very often they may be drowned in tiredness. Lack of any”me time” could also be an issue. However, she stressed that working women--- including super mums --- generally still a lower risk of depression than stay-at-home mothers, adding:”But for better mental health, working mums should accept that they can‟t do it all.”Pam Spurr, a life coach and mother-of-two,said working women don‟t have to feel ashamed to take a career break when they have kids to take care of or cut back on time in the office. She said:”We need to accept that we are only human and can‟t do it all.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN THE WORDS.)81.According to a recent study, in order not to be depressed,working mothers________.82.How should working women deal with career and family according to Katrina Leupp?83.What are the signs of super mums‟ depression?84.In Pam Spurr‟s opinion,working women need to realize there is no shame in ________.81. should/ have to/ must accept (that) they are not super humans/ super mums82.

Many of these are now classified as endangered languages and are classified as such by factors such as the number of speakers a language has, the age of the speakers, and the percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency in the language. For example, a language with many tens of thousands of speakers may be considered endangered if the children in the community are no longer learning the language. This scenario (情节) may happen in a place like Indonesia which as many different languages in use, but is trying to make communication easier by teaching a national language nation-wide. In another scenario, a language may only have a few hundred speakers but may not be considered endangered because all of the children in the community are learning the language.Once a language is classified as endangered, conservation efforts may be made in an attempt to revive the language. Whether or not to make such efforts is a decision which is ultimately made by the speakers of the language themselves, but success often requires a great deal of help and approval from the government or other authorities.One of the most famous language conservation success stories is that of the Welsh language. Historically, large numbers of Welsh people spoke only Welsh, but eventually English became the mainlanguage of Wales and fewer and fewer people learned Welsh. Conservation efforts began to be made in the mid-20th century with the establishment of such organizations as the Welsh Language Association in 1962. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act, both passed in the 1990s, protected the Welsh language and made sure that English and Welsh would have equal status in Wales. Since 2000, the study of the Welsh language has been a compulsory subject in school. Today, over 22% of the population of Wales are Welsh speakers, up from 18% in 1991.81. What factors are taken into consideration when we classify languages as endangered ones, besidesthe number and the age of the speakers?82.

The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season‟s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. Italso requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin‟s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determination are absolut ely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won‟t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don‟t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers‟characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81.

However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniors mercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures. In most cases ,useless procedures are not only wasting money, but also subjecting patients to additional risk without the potential ti improve their health.(NOTE: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.82.Patients'________attitude towards medical care caused today's overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the environment problem?81. the young are big consumers of healthcare too82. “More is better”83.

In order to confirm this, he walked up quietly behind her and, at about ten paces away, he asked,“Can you hear me, Jane?" There was no reply from his wife.He then moved five steps closer and asked, "Can you hear me, Jane?" His wife still did not answer.Started to realize how bad his wife's hearing was, he moved up another two paces and asked, "Jane, can you hear me now?"This time he heard his wife say, "Yes, I can hear you! I've already told you three times."As I laugh at this story，I sense that I am seeing a inflection of myself. How many times have I acted like this “husband”? That is, when there is a problem, I tend to think that it must be the other person‟s fault — but then it turns out that I am the one who is to blame! Sometimes, I think I am being tolerant of other people, without realizing that I am actually the one who is being tolerated The man in the joke was not a bad person. Because he wasn't very confident about his suspicion, he used a three-step process to search for the truth. And, happily at the third step he did find out the true situation: his dear wife has indeed retained her good hearing. We as the "husbands" may not even have this questioning spirit in regard to ourselves, because we genuinely think we have enough evidence to prove that there is nothing wrong with us.Furthermore, if others share our opinion, we feel even more confident. As to how good the "hearing" of those who share our opinion is, and how good our own hearing is, we don't have time to consider that.65. Why did the husband ask the same question three times?A. To test his own hearing.B. To see how poor his wife's hearing is.C. To show how tolerant he is.D. To get the definite answer to the question.66. Why does the writer say the man was not a bad person?A. Because he didn't know the true situation.B. Because he blamed himself for his suspicion.C. Because he had certain questioning spirit.D. Because he lacked self-confidence.67. What's the moral of the story?A. Everyone should have confidence in himself.B. Don't blame others unless you have enough evidence.C. Only when others share your opinions can you believe yourself.D. Before criticizing others, we'd better reflect upon ourselves.(B)File Edit _ View Favorite Tools HelpAddress http:/'www.st:ayinwales-Co.iik/detaiLcfbi?i=i989StayinWales.co-ukFind your Welsh holiday here!Bed & Breakfast - St David'sRamsey HouseCatering exclusively for adults, Ramsey House offers you professional hotel standards of accommodation and food service coupled with the friendly, relaxed atmosphere of a high-class non-smoking guest house.Situated within walking distance of St David‟s, the smallest city in Europe, the house stands in its own attractive gardens and has private off-road parking, In the opposite direction, there is easy access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, where you can see some of Britain's most spectacular" coastal scenery with its abundant bird life and wild flowers.We have three double and three twin rooms.

Parents know their children best and can provide the one-on-one time and attention that will lead them to success.77. ____________Establish a daily 15 to 30 minute time when everyone in the family reads together silently. Seeing you read will inspire your children to read. Just 15 minutes of daily practice is sufficient to increase their reading fluency.78. ____________Children with a lot of reading materials in their homes score higher on standardized tests. Tempt your kids to read by having a large supply of interesting books and magazines at their reading level. Put the reading materials in cars, bathrooms, bedrooms, family rooms, and even by the TV. Make reading a part of your children's lives. Have them read menus, roadside sign, game directions, weather reports, movie time listings, and other practical everyday information. Also, Make sure they always have something to read in their spare time when they could be waiting for appointments or riding in a car.79. ____________Find out what reading skills they are expected to have at each grade level. The school's curriculum will give you this information. Track their progress in acquiring basic reading skills on report cards and standardized tests. Your reaction has a great influence on how hard they will try to become good readers. Be sure to give them genuine praise for their efforts.80. ____________ _____________Teachers do not always detect children's reading problems until they've become serious. Find out if your children can sound out words, use context to identify unknown words, and clearly understand what they read. Reading problems do not magically disappear with time. The earlier children receive help, the more likely they will become good readers. Make sure your children receive necessary help from teachers, or learning centers as soon as you discover a problem.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is celebrating the one year anniversary of its Weather-Ready Nation project. Weather experts from across the United Stateshave been working to improve the way the country reacts to extreme weather. They way scientific progress has made weather forecasts, or predictions, better than ever. But, they say the cost of severe weather on life and property is still too high.NOAA says a new generation of equipment has already made its global numerical weather prediction system nearly three times faster in the past seven months. This is expected to improve NOAA's forecast models.Scientist and weather experts have launched a similar effort in the Philippines. It is called Project NOAH 一the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (危害).Mahar Lagmay is the head of Project NOAH. He says his country needs high-resolution imaging to predict when and where natural disasters will strike"To be able to construct hazard maps you need very high resolution topography. To do the simulations of floods you do need high resolution topography."He also ways these images will be used to create smaller area maps, which will shape how people react to natural disasters."By doing local scale, or community scale maps, people can relate with the problem because they see their houses, they see their neighbor's houses, the bridge in their community, and the river in their community in relation to the hazards 一the flood hazards in particular"Geologist Carlos Primo David also works with Project NOAH. He says the group depends on satellites, Doppler radar and hundreds of rain gauges (计里器）across the country. He says the resulting forecasts are very detailed, and can even predict the intensity of rainfall.The Philippine state weather agency used rainfall information from Project NOAH when Manila flooded in August. The weather agency also re-broadcast its warnings on the social networking website Twitter. And a color coded warning system was also put in place Mahar Lagmay says the project passed its first test. He says the government used the information to move people to safety."Relatively it was successful because what we wanted to avoid was mass death." He says now the government has to get people to take severe weather events more seriously, and to actively prepare for the worst.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81.
