ALast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!1. H ow did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. DisappointedB. AnxiousC. CuriousD. Relieved2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off.B. The engines often worked double time to get started.C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers.D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.3. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means “______________”.A. think carefully before you make friends.B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen.C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain.D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking ChancesBIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone?I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?• You never turn your phone off• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails• You always take your phone to the bathroo m with you• You never let the battery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购;订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2014.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.5. What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.6. The underlined phrase “on edge”in the third paragraph probably means_______.A. nervousB. energeticC. crazyD. surprised7. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?A. digital phoneB. cell phoneC. bricksD. smart phone8. According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. A successful managerB. A 21-year-old girlC. A 21-year-old boyD. A lonely middle-aged personCWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife".I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Wouldyou along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"?A. Satisfied.B. Proud.C. Regretful.D. Anxious.10.

AACADEMIC ACTIVITIES AND LEARNING TRIPSNACA (Native American Community Academy) involves students in academic activities and learning trips in order to strengthen the classroom learning experience. Some examples of our commitment to academic activities include:☆ Student DemonstrationsAt the end of every school year, NACA celebrates student learning and growth through Student Demonstrations. Each student chooses a project that reflects their best work and demonstrates it publicly for family and community members. Through this process students also practice the skills of giving a proper introduction, sharing content knowledge, making a personal connection, bettering their visual and oral presentation skills and interacting with their community.☆ Student CouncilStudent Council is a group of peer-elected representatives. They serve as leaders of their grade level and promote NACA Core Values. They model positive relationships among each other and staff. Student Council will facilitate school wide events to foster school spirit.☆ Potential Leaders Development Trip to Washington DCEvery summer, about thirty 8th grade students take part in a Potential Leaders Development. A trip to Washington DC is an important opportunity that promotes youth leadership for students while engaging them on a deeper academic level. It provides an experience-based understanding of the endless opportunities that higher education can provide and encourages the pursuit of academic success. Students who attend this trip are greatly impacted, long for completing their high school education in a more focused and determined manner and begin making plans for college. The trip also creates awareness of the significance of Washington DC/US government and importance of government to government relationships.1.What’s the aim of NACA trips?A. To equip students with social experience.B. To help students strengthen what they learn in class.C. To promote the awareness of protecting nature.D. To help students with learning difficulties to catch up.2.How does NACA celebrate the end of a school year?A. By organizing trips for students to Washington DC.B. By choosing model students for their good relationships.C. By getting students to present their best work publicly.D. By making personal connections with the community.3.What does the passage say about Trip to Washington DC?A. Its participants are future leaders of all fields.B. Its teachers are all experts at presentation skills.C. It sets models for students to socialize in real life.D. It aims to inspire students for higher education.BNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alon e in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”4.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.5.Traveling alone is challenging because ________.A. you have to make things on your ownB. it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC. you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD. it will finally build your character6.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started traveling alone at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm. C. He used to work as a salesman. D. His website inspires others a lot. 7.What is the best title for the passage?A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and FarCWhat do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed?You probably pat them on the back or shoulder,or maybe you give them a big,warm hug.We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have.But scientists have discovered that apes(猩猩)have this ability,too,according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta,US,went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos(倭黑猩猩),which are closely related to humans.The researchers analyzed the bonobos' reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations,such as fights and losing temper,and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked,just like humans would have done.However,researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others.In the protection centre,many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters.They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions,making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need.“Orphans,who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions,are much worse at comforting others,”Professor Frans de Waal,one of the researchers,told The Telegraph.“Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly.Therefore,they pay more attention to others.”This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react.Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions—for example,the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences—are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.8.The 5th paragraph is mainly developed by________.A. making comparisons B. following time orderC. giving examples D. presenting causes and effects9.The underlined word“curb”in the 6th paragraph probablymeans“________”.A. express B. observe C. hide D. control 10.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friends.B. There were 370 bonobos involved in the research.C. Moms play a significant role in handling kids' emotions.D. The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings.11.What's the main purpose of this passage?A. To provide better protection for Apes. B. To inform readers of a new study. C. To uncover the mystery of Apes. D. To compare human behaviors with Apes'.DA new course on world heritage and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the legacy(遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.According to a world heritage education programme jointly launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school studentsnationwide.The new course covers photos, slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites. The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected. A total of 177 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China—the third most after Spain and Italy. Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired. Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources. The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and cultural diversity.More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young participants. This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.12.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The world heritage education programme was jointly launched by the United States and China's Ministry of Education.B. The course will first be offered at all the schools in Beijing.C. Protection of the country's cultural and natural resources has been perfect thanks to people's efforts.D. China ranks high among the countries with 29 sites listed on the list. 13.What can you expect to learn at the class?A. What world heritage is. B. Why we should protect world heritage. C. How world heritage should be protected. D. All of the above.14.The underlined word "cultivate" in the third paragraph probably means " ".A. distribute B. exploit C. develop D. improvise15.What's the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of the reason for protecting the heritage.B. To tell us the way to protect the heritage.C. To tell us a new course.D. To tell us heritage preservation starts with education.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。

Festival food will be served without extra charge.BI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other.You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name o na contract(合同)of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).25. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was trying to find an admirable job.C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.26. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money27. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Disturbed.B. Ashamed.C. Confident.D. Uncertain.28. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CLife in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch an ything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can passthrough it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding a ir or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.29. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures30. The underlined word “dead” in Paragrap h 3 means .A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely31. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light32. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDHaving a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn, but you’ll need some help and need to work extra hard. If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, remember thatyou are not slow or stupid.Learning disabilities can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, But kids today have an advantage over their parents. Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works, and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.Dyslexia is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing. Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia. Other kids may have language disorders, meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.It can be confusing, though. What qualifies as “trouble" enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability? Reading, doing math, and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first. But when those troubles don’t fade away and it’s really difficult to make any progress, it’s possible that the kid has a learning disability.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. You might feel different from everyone else. But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work, you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. That can be a challenge, but you can do it soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school.33. Children are likely to have a learning disability .A. if their parents have the same problemB. if they are not interested in a subjectC. if they don’t get help in timeD. if they don’t work hard34. How can you know if you have a learning disability?A. Your teacher says you are a slow student.B. You can’t make progress after hard work.C. You have trouble with some lessons at first.D. Your learning style is different from others.35. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To find out the reasons for the learning disability.B. To get parents to know more about their children.C. To help people know and handle learning disability.D. To ask teachers to help students with learning disability.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。

AAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the g round. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble.” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention.’’ she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital.” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith.” she says. “A couple more s trikes. Alexis.” said her father. “You can do it.”Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the ne arest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”1.

Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren't easy to find. When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily.

A higher score means you have better personal credit. Your score is affected by your monthly debts, whether you pay bills on time and other types of information.Wang is hardly alone in dealing with credit score trouble.

You can't ignore that a credit report can be a judge of character.So how can you get a good credit score? Make your repayments on time and pay off your accounts early if you can. If you're using savings to pay off debts, make sure you keep enough cash in an easy access savings account for emergencies.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins with" Twinkle, twinkle, little star", or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks or the Three bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as " Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn wordsD. Stories for children are easy to remember.13. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples14. According to the author. being able to use multiplication tables is _________.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies15.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest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。

Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.So here's a suggestion_ 33 by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s 34 ?"Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖症)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to 35 foods," note the two researchers."In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance -- like food -- of which immoderate 36 leads to serious health problems."The research references studies of p eople’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:Density _37 : licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out 38 to all comers but are allotted (分配)based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food39 ourA.healthierB.stimulatesC.particularlyD.consumptionE.offeredF.displayedG.primarily K.peculiar H.special I.restrictions J.unplanneddesire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, 40 ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t 41 food stores?Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting 42 price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.(B)Tea —A Brief History of the Nation's Favorite BeverageThe birth of tea in ChinaTea is often thought of as being a typically British drink, and we have been drinking it for over 350 years, But in fact the history of tea goes much further back.The story of tea begins in China. According to legend, in 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a while his servant 43 drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to the infusion that his savant had 44 _created. The tree was Camellia sinensis drink and the resulting drink was what we now call tea.It is impossible to know whether there is any truth in this story. But tea drinking certainly became established in China many centuries before it had even been heard of in the west. Containers for tea have been found in tombs 45 from the Han dynasty (206 BC 220 AD)' but it was under the Tang dynasty AD), that tea became firmly 46 as the national drink of China. It became such 47 that during the late eighth century a writer called Yu wrote the first book entirely About tea, the Ch'a Ching, or Tea Classic. It was shortly after this that tea wag first 48 to Japan, by Japanese Buddhist monks who had travelled to China to studyThe growth of tea in EuropeSo at this stage in the history of tea, Europe wag rather lagging behind. In the latter half of the sixteenth century there are the first brief mentions of tea as a drink among Europeans. These are 49 from Portuguese who were living in the East as traders and missionaries ( , But although some of these individuals may have A.accidentally B.establishedC.remained mercialD.datingE.introducedF.favoriteG.boiledH.turnJ.mostly K.originbrought back samples of tea to their native country, it was not the Portuguese who were the first to ship back t: as a 50 import. This was done by the Dutch, who in the last years of the sixteenth century began to encroach on Portuguese trading routes in the East, By' the 51 of the century they had established a trading post on the island of Java, and it wag via Java that in 1606 the first consignment of tea was shipped from China to Holland, Tea soon became a fashionable drink among the Dutch, and from there spread to other countries in continental western E ope, but because of its high price it 52 drink for the wealthy.Ill.

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)Food and ideas about cooking it have been passing from one part of the world to another since the Stone Age Revolution began in the Middle East. They were part of the spread of civilization, though since people change their tastes in painting and architecture much faster than their tastes in food, knowledge of what was eaten is far less than knowledge of the houses that were lived in or the clothes that were worn. Cookery books were few before the 17th century, and how close are the general eating habits at any period to the cookery books published?Changes owed more to the movement of people, of animals, of merchants, of rich landowners, than to books. Before canals, railways, good roads, most people ate what could be produced within a thirty-mile area. Ports did better, of course, if they were on a route. For most people food was basically regional food and there was not always enough of it either. Even in good areas, poor country people had little to eat since most of what they produced went for sale at local markets.

Moreover, in a world where possibilities are endless, business seems to to limit choice beyond a certain level.

Making significant savings on your grocery bill isn't as hard as you might think, and you can still live well. Here is how.COOK FROM THE BEGINNINGIn general, the more preparation or processing steps a food hag undergone, thehigher the price. So it's best to cook things from the very beginning where possible. Even small changa can make a big cost difference. Try buying unwashed whole lettuce or salad leaves and giving them a cleaning yourself, The per-ki10ÿa m price can be as much as ten times more for prepackaged salad leaves.STEWNG MEATSupply and demand play a big role in food pricing. Food that isn't fashionable can be excellent value for money. Unfortunately, lamb chops are not as inexpensive as they once were—but there are still plenty of other options. Look for oxtail, chicken wing tip' and feet, or • other organs such as livers and lungs. A quick internet search will give you a host of ideas on how to prepare unfamiliar ingredients. A good place to start is with slow cooked casseroles or stews,BUY IN BULKA good rule, based on experience, is that is cheaper", but larger pack sizes aren't always better value.

Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile." With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept, It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK's GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country's economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent thanes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn't the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environmentThis is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of O country's success, the world looks very different, So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a •measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person 's sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.90.Robert F. Kennedy is cited because heA.praised the UK for its GDP.B.identified GDP with happiness.C.misinterpreted the role of GDP.D.had a low opinion of GDP.9I. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 thatA.the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern.B.GDP as the measure of success is Widely disapproved of in the UK.C.the UK will contribute less to the world economy.D.policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP.92.Which of the following is title about the recent annual study?A.It is sponsored by 163 countries.B.It excludes GDP as an indicator.C.Its criteria are questionable.D.Its results are enlightening.93.I n the last two paragraphs, the author suggests thatA.the UK is preparing for an economic boom.B.B. high GDP foreshadows an economic decline.C.it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP.D.it requires caution to handle economic issues.(D)In a rare unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court has overturned the corruption conviction of a former Virginia governor, Robert McDonnell. put it did so while holding its nose at the ethiçs of his conduct, which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari automobile from a company seeking access to government.The high court' s decision said the judge in Mr. McDonnell' s trial failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his ''official acts," or the former governor' g decisions on "specific" and 'unsettled" issues related to his duties.Merely helping a gift-giver gain access to other officials, unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials, is not corruption, the justices found.The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is "distasteful" and"nasty," But under anti-bribery laws, proof must be made of concrete benefits, such as approval of a contract or regulation. Simply arranging meeting, making a phone call, or hosting an event is not an "official act".The court's ruling is legally sound in defining a. kind of favoritism that is not criminal. Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution for bribery." The basic compact underlying representative government," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court," assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns."But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives, not the courts, to ensure equality of access to government. Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual or group provides a campaign donation or a personal gift. This type of integrity requires well-enforced laws in government transparency, such as records of official meetings, rules on lobbying, and information about each elected leader's source of wealth.Favoritism in official access can fan public perceptions of corruption. But it is not always corruption. Rather officials must avoid double standards, or different types of access for average people and the wealthy. If connections can be bought, a basic premise of democratic society—that all are equal in treatment by government—is undermined. Good governance rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each individual.The court's ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption andofficial favoritism.94.The underlined sentence (Para.l) most probably shows that the courtA.avoided defining the extent of McDonnell's duties.B.made no compromise in convicting McDonnell.C.was contemptuous of McDonnell's conduct.D.refused to comment on McDonnell's ethics.95.According to Paragraph 4, an official act is considered corruptive only if it involvesA.leaking secrets intentionally.B.B. sizable gains in the form of gifts.C.concrete returns for gift-givers.D.breaking contracts officially.96.T he court's is based on the assumption that public officials areA.justified in addressing the needs of their constituents.B.qualified to deal independently with bureaucratic issues.C.allowed to focus on the concerns of their supporters.D.spare from conviction on the charge of favoritism.97.W ell-enforced laws in government transparency are needed toA.awaken the conscience of officials.B.g uarantee fair play in official access.C.allow for certain kinds of lobbying.D.inspire hopes in average people.98.The author's attitude toward the court's ruling isA.sarcasticB. tolerantC.skepticalD. supportiveSection A (10')Directions: Fill in the sentences with the proper form of the given verbs.1.H ow happy we are!
