Researchers who studied television viewinghabits in Australia calculated that people who watch for a(n) _____42_____ of six hours a day shorten their life expectancy(预期寿命) by almost five years.They based their calculations on data on the _____43 _____between television viewing and death from the Australian obesity and lifestyle study which involved 11,000 adults aged 25 and over. Applying these findings to the whole population over 25, who are estimated to have watched 9.8 billion hours of TV in , they concluded that it _____44_____ for 286,000 years of life lost — equivalent to 22 minutes for each hour watched. By _____45_____, smoking one cigarette is estimated to shorten life expectancy by 11 minutes — equivalent to half an hour of TV watching.Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the authors from the University of Queensland, say the figures suggest “huge loss of life may be _____46_____ with too much TV viewing.” The UK and other industrialized countries are likely to be similarly affected “given the typically large amounts of time spent watching TV and the similarities in disease patterns.” The researchers add: “If these figures are _____47_____ and shown to reflect a cause and effect relationship, TV viewing is a public health problem comparable in size to established behavioral risk factors.”Researchers from Taiwan University found even those who did as little as 92 minutes’ exercise a week — equivalent to 15 minutes a day for six days a week — reduced their _____48_____ of death by 14 per cent.

A. although B. because C. until D. ifSection 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)When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words.”I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices — education, career, lifestyle — life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is in progress, but aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and innocent.Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my childrenwill grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.66.The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _____.A. end poverty and make school beautifulB. find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselvesC. end poverty and solve the problems about environmentD. find a wonderful place and clean it up67. What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to _____.A. a long period of laughingB. a warm welcomeC. an expression used for greetingD. a long period of clapping and applause68. It becomes clear that the writer is possibly _____ now.A. in his teensB. in his twentiesC. in his thirtiesD. in his forties69. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature.B. the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment.C. the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice.D. the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up.(B)70.Zeo is a revolution in the science of sleep mainly because it _____.A. can record one’s sleep processB. is the first product to manage one’s sleepC. is free of medical risksD. provides access to sleep fitness websites71. What is the most remarkable feature of Zeo?A. Its direct contact with sleep scientists.B. Its individualized coaching program.C. Its effectiveness in curing sleep disorders.D. Its immediate analysis of sleep data.70.What customer service does Zeo provide?A. Cheap online tools.B. A 30-day action plan.C. Personalized bedside display.D. Free delivery of the product.71.The passage is primarily written to _____.A. encourage people to try the new productB. instruct people how to use a new toolC. provide the latest health informationD. illustrate the importance of good sleep habit(C)Although websites such as Facebook and MySpace experienced rapid growth during the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, some users remain unaware of the fact that the information they post online can come back to haunt them. First, employers can monitor employees who maintain a blog, photo diary, or website. Employers can look for controversial(引起争议的) employee opinions, sensitive information disclosures, or wildly inappropriate conduct. For example, a North Carolina newspaper fired one of its features writers after she created a blog on which she wrote about the strange things of her job and coworkers without signing her real name.The second unintended use of information from social networking websites is employers who check on prospective employees. A June 11, New York Times article reported that many companies use search engines and social networking websites such as MySpace, Xanga, and Facebook to conduct background checks on college campuses. Although the use of MySpace or Google to check a student’s background is somewhat unsettling to many undergraduates, the Times noted that the use of Facebook is especially shocking to students who believe that Facebook is limited to current students and recent alum(校友).Corporate employers are not the only people interested in college students’ lives. The third unintended use of social networking websites is college administrators who monitor the Internet — especially Facebook — for student bad behavior. For example, a college in Boston’s Back Bay expelled (除名) its student Government Association President for joining a Facebook group highly critical of a campus police sergeant. In addition, fifteen students at a state university in North Carolina faced charges in court for underage drinking because of photos that appeared on Facebook.Although more users of websites such as Facebook are becoming aware of the potential dangers of online identities, many regular users still fail to take three basic security precautions(警惕). First, only make your information available to a specific list of individuals whom you approve. Second, regularly search for potentially harmful information about yourself that may have been posted by mistake or by a disgruntled(不满的) former associate. Third, never post obviously offensive material under your name or on your page, because, despite the best precautions, this material will likely make its way to the wider world. By taking these simple steps, members of the digital world can realize the many benefits of e-community without experiencing some of the damaging unintended consequences.74.The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. explain the growth of the digital world from the view of privacyB. discuss the risks of the digital world and suggest ways to protect yourselfC. propose steps Facebook, MySpace, and Google can take to protect user privacyD. illustrate potential unintended uses of private information75.The writer implies that users should take all of the following actions to protect their online privacy EXCEPT _____.A. know to whom you make your online information availableB. actively hunt for damaging information posted about you or under your nameC. speak with employers to inform them of any misinformation published about youD. avoid uploading information that would be extremely damaging if it were discovered76.According to the passage, which of the following does the author imply?A. Information obtained unwillingly from the Internet is permitted in court.B. It is impossible to protect yourself from unintended uses of information online.C. Even if you restrict who can view your data, the government may still access it.D. Done properly, posting offensive information about oneself brings no risk.77.In the last paragraph the author mainly _____.A. offers detailed examples to support previous viewpointsB. further explores the ill-effects of the Internet on the protection of privacyC. summarizes the points of the above paragraphsD. provides suggestions to overcome the previously mentioned problemsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.New technology links the world as never before. Our plant has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often help support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(流行的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employer at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN SIX WORDS.)78.In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” in paragraph 3 probably means ________________.79. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?80.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations inemploying people today?81.The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can __________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 不努力我们是很容易落伍的。

语法词汇部分(每小题1分,共20分)1.— Is that old factory ______ you often refer to?— Right, just the one _____ I worked for years.A. the one; thatB. one; whichC. what; whereD. which; that【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查名词性从句和定语从句。
句意:---那个旧工厂就是你经常提到的吗?---对,就是我工作多年的那个旧工厂。
第一句的主语为that old factory,is是系动词,______ you often refer to为表语从句,表语从句中的refer to后面缺少宾语,名词从句中缺少宾语一般用what,故第一个空填what。
第二句the one(=the factory)是先行词,在后面的定语从句中作地点状语,把先行词放入句中为I worked in the factory for years,要用where,所以选C。
2.He has lots of friends, only a few of ____ invited to his wedding.A. whomB. themC. whichD. who【答案】B【解析】试题分析:考查定语从句。
本题定语从句的先行词是a lot of friends,在后面的定语从句中whom指代先行词作为介词of的宾语。
Them不能引导定语从句,which所指代的先行词常常是事物,不能是人;who在句中通常作为主语,不做宾语。
故A正确。
考点:考查定语从句点评:定语从句的考查主要就是考查关系词的辨析,关系代词that, which, whose, whom, as,who在句中做主语,宾语,表语或者定语;where, why, when在句中做状语。

Backpacking Checklist.BI waschecking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all ofa sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night,for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.4. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1?A. She missed the G9 bus.B. She paid for her bananas.C. She replaced the credit cards.D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus.5.

Ferguson died Sept 16. The Catonsville resident was 81.“His artist eye was in everything he did. His life was art and his family,” said Jennifer C. Jackson, who was Mr. Ferguson's friend for nearly three decades.” He was a lovable man who was always willing to talk about any topic he was interested in. At shows, people would go crazy for his work,” Ms. Jackson said. “He was also an enthusiastic sailor who loved nothing more than being on the water.” “His sculptures were just memorable,” said Mr. Lund, a Washingtonian. “I used to say, ‘Ferguson, I don't think you know how to do anything that is less than monumental.’”Mr. Ferguson earned a bachelor's degree in 1961 at Holy Cross University, where he developed an interest in painting. He served in the Army for two years until being discharged in 1963, and after studying briefly at the Boston Museum School, registered at the Chicago Art Institute, where he studied until 1966, when he entered the University of Illinois Chicago, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1966 in fine arts. Mr. Ferguson developed his interest and skills as a sculptor after moving to Baltimore to do further studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art's Rinehart School of Sculpture, from which he graduated in 1971 with a master's degree in fine arts.“Over the years my work has moved gradually in the direction of elegance and simplicity,” Mr. Ferguson wrote in his artist statement. “Heavy, bulbous forms have been replaced by dancing, winglike forms. The welding process and respect for the qualities of the materials are interrelated and affect the final piece. “Most of the sculptures that are pictured in my works are made from steel, silicon bronze, and to Cor-Ten steel; shaped to create these beautiful and unique pieces of art. As you can see, my sculptures range in size anywhere from 12 inches to 30 feet or larger.”Through the years, his work found its way into such major public and private collections. “They encourage optimism, for they show strength and affirmation; there's nothing negative, depressing or anxiety-ridden about them”, wrote the late art critic John Dorsey in a 1997 exhibition review.8. What did Mr. Lund think of Ferguson?A. Likeable.B. Ordinary.C. Unwelcome.D. Interesting.9. What did Mr. Ferguson do first after serving in the army?A. He studied at the Boston Museum School.B. He got a bachelor's degree in fine arts.C. He entered the University of Illinois Chicago.D. He continued his studies at the Maryland Institute College.10. What influences the final sculptures?A. An even larger scale than before.B. The material comprised of metalsC. The shape of elegance and simplicity.D. Welding process as well as material quality.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. A stylish, stubborn old manB. Sculptures towering into the cloudsC. JohnD. Ferguson—a famous sculpturer D. The evolution of the sculptural styleDCoke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in cokeovernight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.12. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.13. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Don’t pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.14. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To breakdown the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.15. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He died in Los Angeles, California, Monday. He was 95 years old.Marvel Entertainment and its parent pany, Walt Disney, posted a video about the late writer, editor and publisher on their websites.Disney chairman and chief Bob Iger said Lee is "a super hero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world." He pared Lee to his ic book characters with "the power to inspire, to entertain, and to connect."Lee was born Stanley Martin Leiber in New York City. He began writing for ic books at 19. He wrote under the name Stan Lee. He explained that he used a false name because he wanted to write a serious and great piece of literature someday. He did not want his link with ic books to be known when that happened. But it never did happen. As the pride in his work grew, he decided to legally change his name to Stan Lee.Lee’s ic book heroes stand apart from its petitor DC, the pany that produced the seemingly perfect heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. Lee’s character often had super power,but they also had weaknesses and moral failings.In a piece for Marvel in 1969, Lee discussed the importance of creating these balanced characters. Nobody is all good, or all bad, he wrote, like Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. He is a deeply gifted inventor with serious mental health issues; or, Peter Parker, a sensitive, brainy high-school student who has no idea how to deal with the frightening abilities he gets from the bite of aradioactive spider. Even Steve Rogers, whose CaptainAmerica was the most Superman-like of the Marvel group, had problems. Rejected as a candidate for the armed forces, he volunteers to take a "supersoldier" substance to make him a super-fighting machine.Actor Chris Evans has played that character in several Hollywood films. He posted a tribute to Captain America’s creator on Twitter Monday. “There will never be another Stan Lee,” he wrote. Actor, writer and funny man Seth Rogen never played one of Lee’s characters but he remembered him with thanks in a tweet. “Thank you Stan Lee for making people who feel different realize they ar e special,” he wrote.24.Stan Lee creat many famous ic character,except ________A.Iron ManB. SupermanC. Captain AmericaD. Spider Man25.Why Lee used the false name when he begin to writing ic book?A. In honor of the city where he was born.B. The name was a writer who he admired.C. He was proud of the name.D. He didn’t want to be known as a ic book writer.26. What makes Lee’s character different from others?A. They often had super power.B. They were balance in diet.C. They always saved the world.D. They looked like a real man, not god.27. The author wrote this text to ________A. introduce the characters of Lee’s famous ic book.B. in memory of Stan Lee.C. share the readers the achieve ments of Stan Lee.D. be as a biography of Stan Lee.CWalk down any British shopping street and you will find shops with strange names. Why is the opticians (眼镜店) called “Eyediology”? And who decided to name the butchers (肉铺) “Meat you there” ? What’s going on?Puns are jokes based on words that sound the same. You’ve probably noticed that many words in English which are spelt in different ways and have different meanings are pronounced in the same way. Think about the name of the restaurant: “plaice” is a kind of fish so our restaurant is “the place” to eat fish. Butchers sell meat –so we’ll “meet you there” – and opticians look after our eyes in a scientific way – so eyed – iology (ideology) is a name that fits. Hairdressers shear (cut) your locks (hair) and b it –say the three words together quickly and you have the name of a famous detective. In shop titles and adverts, puns are used to get our attention.Puns are very old. The ancient Egyptians and Romans liked to pun. Shakespeare uses many puns in his plays –King Richard the Third (the son of York) brings “glorious summer” – just think about a word that has the same sound as son.Many people enjoy a good pun (pun / fun for all the family!) –others hate them. Puns aren’t really designed to make you laugh. Here are some puns that might leave you asking for no more puns please. Have you heard about the bears who voted in the North Poll? Or the cheetah (印度豹) who couldn’t be trusted at cards? Or how about the clever little Australian animal that had lots of koalaifications or the camel (骆驼) with no humps (驼峰) that was called Humphrey (and so was f ree of humps...) Puns can be funny but they sometimes make important points. Here’s a fashion tip: “skinny genes make skinny jeans”: so don’t worry if your jeans don’t fit . Look at your parents!28.Where can you probably enjoy fish and ch ips, judging from the name?A. Shearlock bs.B. Eyediology.C. The Plaice to e.D. Meat you there.29.Why King Richard the Third used “glorious summer” to describe himself?A. Because he thought he is as hot as summer.B.Because he thought he is the greastest son of the King York.C. Because it sounds like the word “son”.D. Because he was born in summer.30.How does the author make his poin t in the article?A. By giving examples.B. By making parisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By describing causes and effects.31.In the last paragraph, the fashion tip want express that ______.A. Buy a tight-fitting jeans can help you stay in shape.B. Your genes decide what jeans you likeC. I t’s your family’s fault to be too fat to put the jeans on.D. Jeans consist of your different genes.DIf you’re a fan of smart technology, you may have had some sleepless nights lately.That’s because Alexa, the artificial intelligence (AI) behind US pany Amazon’s Echo smart speakers, has been “letting out an automatic, creepy (令人毛骨悚然的) cackle,” for no apparent reason, according to BBC News.Many social media users shared their stories of Alexa scaring them with the seemingly unprompted laugh.“Every time Alexa laughs, an angel dies,” Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk joked on social media.On March 7, Amazon released an update that fixed the problem, saying that the laugh was triggered (引发) by Echo devices mistaken ly thinking that users had said the mand “Alexa, laugh”.However, what should have been a funny story raised the ongoing topic of man versus machine.With the rise of artificial and robotic technology, “Digital machines have started to demonstrate (展示) broad abilities in pattern recognition, plex munication, and other fields that used to only belong to human,” wrote Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee in their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies. T hey believe that AI will “do more and more, and our lives will get better”.However, ever since the earliest days of AI, there have been concerns that some day, software will take over the world, leaving the fate of humans unknown.meeting at MIT in 2014. “If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that.So we need to be very careful.”Many scientists have shared the same concern. The late British physicist Stephen Hawking said at a technology conference in Portugal in November that “puters can, in theory, imitate human intelligence, and exceed it… AI could be the worst event in the h istory of our civilization.”If creators are to safely control AI, however, Hawking suggested that they “employ best practice and effective management”.“I am an optimist and I believe that we can create AI for the good of the world,” he said at the conference. “We simply need to be aware of the dan gers, identify them, employ the best possible practice and management, and prepare for its consequences well in advance.”32.The story of Alexa is intended to _______.A. lead into the discussion about humans and AIB. prove artificial intelligence has its weaknessesC. inform readers of the development of AID. show how Alexa’s problem was fixed33.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 9 probably mean?A. screamB. laughterC. devilD. soldier34.What message do Brynjolfsson and McAfee probably deliver in their book?A. The development of AI could threaten our survival one day.B. There is no need to worry about the rise of AI.C. Robots will never match humans in plex munication.D. Humans’ lives will be greatly improved with the help of robots.35.Wh at can we infer from Stephen Hawking’s words?A. AI is not as intelligent and efficient as expected.B. Careful management is the key to controlling AI.C. AI is the greatest invention in the history of our civilization.D. AI will be employed in all aspects of our lives in the future.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。
