It really is that simple. Eurostat figures show that 66 per cent of mothers in the UK work, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) or Germany (69 per cent). This not only damages Britain’s economic prosperity—it limits women’s careers and squeezes family incomes. It would be fine if this is the choice parents want to make, but it isn’t. Half of those surveyed want to go to work and the expense of childcare is one of the key reasons they c ouldn’t.Despite claims made by Labour (工党) about childcare, a forthcoming (即将到来的) report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) confirms the true legacy of their time in government. They left behind a childcare system with high costs to parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) coverage, despite soaring government spending. British parents now face the highest childcare bills in the world after Switzerland.In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and John Major, the picture was very different. Mothers in England were more likely to go out to work than their Dutch or German counterparts. But the position has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending.So why does the British Government spend more on childcare than France or Germany, even though the costs given to parents are sky-high? As always, under the previous government, money was frittered away (浪费) without adequate focus on improving quality. Instead of clear and transparent funding, four separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and confusing parents and providers alike. The majority of the money was given away in cash benefits; so much of it did not get through to the front line.The IPPR report points out that continental systems, in countries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage to deliver better value for money. What all of these systems have in common is a focus on quality, with greater flexibility and autonomy given to local providers. They also see a much higher proportion of government money getting to the front line.21．Which of the following doesn’t belong to the disadvantages caused by the mothers prevented from going to work?A. Damaging Britain’s economic development.B. Causing damage to women’s car eers.C. Decreasing the family incomes.D. Causing childcare costs to go up.22．According to the second paragraph, we can infer that the former government of the Labour Party _______.A. was highly praised by British peopleB. made British people face the highest childcare billsC. left behind a childcare system full of problemsD. managed to decrease the government spending23．We can learn from the passage that _______.A. in the Eighties and Nineties, mothers in the UK were likely to workB. there is a prejudice against mothers in the UK employment marketC. most of the mothers surveyed in the UK don’t want to workD. the percentage of mothers who work in the UK is the lowest in the worldI was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t re alize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watchi ng her, speechless. What on earth…?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room –if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, y ou just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.24．Why did the author shout at the telephone?A. He was mad at the telephone.B. He was angry with his agent.C. He was anxious about his wifeD. He was impatient with the secretary.25．What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?A. She said nothingB. She shouted at him.C. She called the agentD. She threw the phone away26．What made the author laugh?A. His own behavior.B. His wife’s suggestionC. His changeable feelingsD. His wife’s sweet kiss.27．What does the underlined word “antics” refer to?A. Smart wordsB. Unusual actionsC. Surprising LooksD. Anxious feelingsTalking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically，” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate (评估) conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that it's being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor(蒸汽) that alerts other plants nearby.“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with，” Schultz explained.“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves，” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.In the end, plants' ability to communicate their needs—and our ability to understand them—could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.28．The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can ______.A．communicate with other living things in a chemical wayB．hardly react to any sudden change in temperatureC．use a very special chemica1 language which is familiar to usD．respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals29．When being eaten by an insect, the plant will ________.A．walk away from troubleB．change its chemistry to kill the insectC．release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for helpD．give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest30．The underlined word “alert” most probably means “______”．A．warn B．protectC．threaten D．allow31．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Communication between PlantsB．A Chemical “Language”C．Plants Can TalkD．How Plants Protect Themselves阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

ends with two students going crazy in the school﹣shooting and killing people．This is Elephant．It stars real school kids．American director Gus Van Sant had no ready﹣made lines．The student actors made up their own dialogue，with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives．Although it may not sound very high quality，the film won the Palmed'Or （金棕奖）for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival．The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US，where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999．The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house．The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers．It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone﹣﹣﹣fun and friendly，or hard and lonely．In many ways，the two boys，who carry out the shooting，act like ordinary kids．They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano．But there're hints of the anger they feel inside．One of the boys is bullied （欺负） at school．The other plays violent video games．But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games．In fact，the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens．"I didn't want to explain anything．It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions，"said the 51﹣year﹣old director．21．The lines of the film were ．A．given by the directorB．created by student actorsC．thought out by the director during the actingD．carefully designed by professional people22． The film doesn't tell why school shootings happen ．A．so as to leave room for the audience to think and judgeB．because life itself is the problem makerC．because the mental problems of students are hard to explainD．but there are some hints of the reasons23．The film is named Elephant because ．A．an elephant is always gentle and never causes troubleB．an elephant is a symbol of big problems in American schoolsC．elephant is used to suggest that the school crime is a big problemD．the two boys liked elephants when alive24．What's the passage mainly about？A．It shows American school life．B．It introduces the film Elephant．C．It tells people to be careful while in peace．D．It reports a school killing in a US school．25．Let's face it．No one drinks diet sodas for the taste．People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it．Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect，according to a new study．Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas．"What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank，the more weight they were likely to gain，"said Sharon Fowler．The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large，ongoing research project，where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years．While the findings are surprising，they also offer some explanations．Nutrition expert，Melanie Rogers，who works with overweight patients in New York，has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas，they don't loseweight at all．"We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily，and that was confusing to us，"said Rogers．So why would diet soda cause weight gain？No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas，and so over﹣compensate （弥补） for the missing calories．A related study found some sweeteners （甜味剂） raised blood sugar levels in some mice．"Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky，"said Helen P．Hazuda，professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas．"They may be free of calories，but not of consequences．"25．People drink diet sodas to ．A．enjoy its tasteB．stay in fashionC．achieve weight lossD．gain more energy26．We can learn from the passage that ．A．regular sodas make people lose more weightB．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodC．diet sodas do help reduce caloriesD．most blood diseases come from diet sodas27．The underlined word"They"in the last paragraph probably refers to" "．A．sweetenersB．diet sodas and artificial sweetenersC．sodasD．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers．28．There is no denying that for more than a generation college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt．All high school graduates ought to go，says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence，because college will help them earn more money，become"better"people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than thosewho don't go．But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone．And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending，those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous，and more obvious．College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis； college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools．Others find no stimulation （激励） in their studies，and consequently have to drop out，which is often encouraged by college administrators．Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves﹣﹣they are spoiled and they are expecting too much．But that's a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole，and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness．Others blame the state of the world，and they are partly right．We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen﹣year ﹣olds．But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty﹣two﹣year﹣olds，either．Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school．We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down，it seems，and through the rosy（玫瑰般的） glow of our own remembered college experiences．Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick to learn things﹣maybe it is just the oth er way around，and intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，quick﹣learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place．And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not．This is heresy （异端邪说） to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better．But contrary evidence is beginning to come up．28．According to the first paragraph，．A．people now no longer challenge college education．B．people still have a low opinion of college education．C．the author thinks youngsters should all go to college．D．people have great expectations for college education．29．More young people drop out of college because ．A．they are no longer motivated in their studies．B．they can start selling shoes and driving taxis．C．they compete for admission to graduate schools．D．college administrators encourage them to do so．30．Who does the author think is to blame for campus unhappiness？A．young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much．B．our society that can't offer enough jobs to college graduates．C．our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates．D．young people as well as our society are to blame for all this．31．Which of the following sentences is TRUE about those surveys and statistics？A．They proved wrong as being contradictory to our college experiences．B．They are so convincing that we think of our rosy college experiences．C．They may have been misread because of our rosy college experiences．D．They prove high school graduates are smarter than college gratuates．32．What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragragh 4？A．It is a different wayB．It is just the opposite．C．It is the wrong way．D．There's no other way．33．What's the main purpose of this passage？A．To inform young people college education is no longer important now．B．To prove college education doesn't make young people more intelligent．C．To argue against the idea that college is the first choice for all youngsters．D．To tell young people that there's something wrong with college education．34．34．Which of the following is true？A．This advertisement is probably taken from a magazine．B．For every adult ticktet you will have to pay£4.50in cash．C．You will receive two emails after you place your order using the basket．D．Cineworld encourages viewers to be involved in its management for experience．35．This advertisement is mainly about ．A．a way of booking film ticketsB．a certain ClubcardC．some unmissable films this winterD．the company of Cineworld．第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．A．Decide to be happy．B．Lower your expectations．C．Learn to enjoy the moment．D．Look for the good for everything．E．Let people deal with their own problems．F．Focus more on what you can control than on what you can't．．So many times I hear people say that they will be happy once a certain event occurs．They think that once they move into a new house，start their new job，travel or retire they will be happy．But it doesn't work that way．If you truly want to be happy，here's what to do．You are not just a victim of circumstances or your emotions．Think about it this way．Ifyou are in a horrible argument with someone，and the person you most respect enters the room，what will happen？The fighting will likely stop immediately，your mood will change，and so will your behavior．You do have control，and you are the one who decides how you will face the day！（37）．We are never disappointed unless we have expectations．If you base your emotions on the need for certain things to happen，you will likely be let down most of the time．Instead，work hard，and treat everything good that happens as a bonus for which you can be thankful．（38）．Don't get too wrapped up in issues involving friends or family．We are each responsible for our own lives，and when someone makes a bad mistake，it is not up to you to make things better．And remember that worry doesn't help anyone!（39）．You might not be satisfied with your income，but there is no point complaining about it．Improve your diploma so that you can get a better job in the future．You may have an incurable illness，such as diabetes，but the fact that it's incurable doesn't mean that it cannot be managed．（40）．You don't have to be a Pollyanna （盲目乐观者） about life，but you can see the bright side of almost every situation if you just make a point of looking for it．Happiness is not an uncatchable mouse!Once you have made up your mind that you are going to be happy despite what is going on around you，the task becomes easier．One of the key things to remember is that happiness doesn't come from outside but begins on the inside and actually spreads outward，and can influence everyone around you in a positive manner．第三部分英语知识运用（共1小题，满分30分）第一节完形填空41．From time to time，life can be impossibly

high school．Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football．But there's big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school﹣shooting and killing people．This is Elephant．It stars real school kids．American director Gus Van Sant had no ready﹣made lines．The student actors made up their own dialogue，with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives．Although it may not sound very high quality，the film won the Palmed'Or （金棕奖）for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival．The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US，where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999．The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house．The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers．It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone﹣﹣﹣fun and friendly，or hard and lonely．In many ways，the two boys，who carry out the shooting，act like ordinary kids．They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano．But there're hints of the anger they feel inside．One of the boys is bullied （欺负） at school．The other plays violent video games．But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games．In fact，the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens．"I didn't want to explain anything．It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions，"said the 51﹣year﹣old director．21．The lines of the film were B ．A．given by the directorB．created by student actorsC．thought out by the director during the actingD．carefully designed by professional people22． The film doesn't tell why school shootings happen A ．A．so as to leave room for the audience to think and judgeB．because life itself is the problem makerC．because the mental problems of students are hard to explainD．but there are some hints of the reasons23．The film is named Elephant because C ．A．an elephant is always gentle and never causes troubleB．an elephant is a symbol of big problems in American schoolsC．elephant is used to suggest that the school crime is a big problemD．the two boys liked elephants when alive24．What's the passage mainly about？ BA．It shows American school life．B．It introduces the film Elephant．C．It tells people to be careful while in peace．D．It reports a school killing in a US school．【考点】O3：广告布告类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了美国的一位导演拍摄校园暴力并对其发生的原因进行了分析．【解答】21．B．细节理解题．根据第二段American director Gus Van Sant had no ready ﹣made lines．The student actors made up their own dialogue，with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives可知电影的台词不是导演预先准备的，而是学生演员创造的；故选B．22．A．推理判断题．根据最后一段It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions，"said the 51﹣year﹣old director可知导演把为什么留给了观众，大家思考的不一样，因此原因是由观众自己定的；故选A．23．C．推理判断题．根据第五段The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house．可知电影名字的来源是一句古老的谚语，elephant即大象，本身就是一种体积庞大的动物，如果出现在家里，那么就是在不正确的地方，就是一个问题了．因此这里的引申义就是说明校园暴力事件是一个大问题．故选C．24．B．主题大意题．根据第一段The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school．可知开篇就说电影里面的内容，紧接着第二段就提出了电影的名字，并结合全文可知整篇文章都在讲述这部电影的材料来源，以及对电影内容否认点评分析．故选B．25．Let's face it．No one drinks diet sodas for the taste．People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it．Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect，according to a new study．Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two

that B ．A．regular sodas make people lose more weightB．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodC．diet sodas do help reduce caloriesD．most blood diseases come from diet sodas27．The underlined word"They"in the last paragraph probably refers to" B "．A．sweetenersB．diet sodas and artificial sweetenersC．sodasD．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers．【考点】O5：科教类阅读．【分析】本文是科教类文章，主要讲述了人们为了减肥而喝苏打水，可是最新的研究却表明：喝苏打水不仅不能让人减肥，反而可能让人更胖，并分析了原因．【解答】25．C．细节理解题．根据第一段中的"Peopledrink diet sodas in the hope thatit will help them lose weight…"可知，人们喝苏打水是为了减轻体重，故选C．26．B．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段中的"…they can eat more if they drink diet sodas…"可知，如果他们喝苏打水，人们认为他们可以吃得更多，所以喝苏打水的人倾向于吃更多的食物．故选B．27．B．词义猜测题．此处是承接上一句中的内容，可知They 指代前面提及的dietsodas and artificial sweeteners．（苏打水和人造甜味剂）．故选B．28．There is no denying that for more than a generation college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt．All high school graduates ought to go，says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence，because college will help them earn more money，become"better"people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go．But college has never

He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very 31 . When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t 32 lives, he was planting trees. His house 33 on ten acres of land, and his life’s 34 was to turn this land into a forest. The good doctor had some 35 theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle:―No pain, no gain‖. He never watered his new trees, a(n) 36 which is contrary to 37 wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants 38 them because it made them grow weaker. He said you have to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest 39. He talked about how watering trees made them develop 40 roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots 41 moisture(水分).So Doctor Gibbs would plant an oak(橡树)and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s 42.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him 43 some 25 years ago. They were tall and44 .I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago.

But driving your youngsters to the gates could also cause their academic work to suffer.Researchers found children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, had poorer concentration levels than those who took a more active route such as walking or cycling.The joint study by researchers at two Danish universities found the regular exercise could advance a student up to half a year in their studies. Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had walked or cycled.The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis(假设) originally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils’ ability to concentrate.―The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has about four hours later,‖ Niels Egelund, a co- author of the report said. ―The results showed that having breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercise.‖―As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone half a year further in their studies,‖ he added.In the survey, taken by 19, 527 pupils aged five to 19 years old, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.―Most people know the feeling of being refreshed after having exercised, but it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long,‖ Egelund said.Previous research from the university of Montreal has found that exercise helps our brains make better use of oxygen. It may also reduce mental fatigue(疲劳) and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And last week Swedish researchers said they found that muscular boys will live longer than their weaker friends.And even if they are overweight by the time they get to adulthood, those with stronger muscles tend to live longer.51. What is the best title of this passage?A. Exercise —— Refresh youB. Exercise —— Look slimC. Exercise —— Live longerD. Exercise —— Learn faster52. Which of the following is NOT the result of the research from the University of Montreal?A. Exercise helps our brain make the most of oxygen.B. Exercise can make you sharp- minded.C. Exercise can improve the level of concentration.D. Exercise can decrease mental fatigue.53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct?A. Having breakfast and lunch has a greater impact on concentration than having exercise.B. Children driven to school perform worse in all tests.C. Eating breakfast and lunch can affect children’s ability to focus.D. Having exercise can refresh us but it doesn’t last long.54. Children driven to school performed badly in their academies work because .A. they are too lazyB. they are not healthyC. they are not focusedD. they are not smartBThe meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served （unless in Guangdong style restaurants）to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners，there are always ―public‖ chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it，just leave the food in the plate．People in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough，just say so．Or you will always overeat!55．The main difference on dinner table between China and West is ___________.A．you have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes.B．on Chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork.C．you’re treated to a formal dinner for the first time.D．the host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.56．If you have a dinner in a Chinese home，in which order will the food be served in China? a．a set of four cold dishes.b．staple food such as rice，noodle or dumplings.c．the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.d．serving soup.A．acbd B．cabd C．acdb D．cadb 57．According to the passage，we can infer that ___________.A．Chinese think it impolite for guests to leave food in the plate.B．Chinese think it polite to put food into the plated of the guests with their own chopsticks.C．People in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.D．Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.58．The sentence，in Paragraph 2，―you should say so in good time‖ means ______.A．you should say so early B．you should say so happilyC．you’d better say so D．you should say so kindly．CIs carrying a few extra pounds into your senior years healthy? Advice has been mixed. Now, two studies published this month attempt to better define the ideal weight for fitness and longevity for adults over age 60.The main point is that you don’t need to worry about being slightly overweight, as long as that extra weight is maintained at a consistent level. However, being very overweight is detrimental to health, and exercising to lose body fat and to gain muscle mass is always beneficial.Determining the ideal weight for older people has been a pursuit, with researchers looking for what weight is not too thin, but not too fat. Studies have suggested that being slightly overweight can be protective.For example, a 2001 study by researchers at Yale University found that moderately overweight senior adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 — two points higher than the BMI of 25 that defines being overweight — lived longer than seniors who were either thinner or heavier. There’s a fine line here, though, because carrying extra pounds is a risk factor for many types of cancer and other diseases. And, according to the researchers behind the two new studies, the general public has misinterpreted the Yale findings to mean that being very overweight is healthy.One new study, published this month in the American Journal of Epidemiology by researchers at The Ohio State University in Columbus, found that seniors who maintained a stable, slightly overweight status survived most probably over the 16 years surveyed. Those seniors who had a so-called healthy weight going into the study (a BMI between 18.5 and 25) and who gained weight, but stayed below BMI 25, had a slight possibility of surviving over the study period.People in the obese group, with a BMI higher than 35 and who continued to gain weight, faced the worst among all the groups in the study. But next-to-last were normal-weight people who lost weight, but this was likely because they became sick, the researchers said.The second study, appearing this month in the journal Obesity, was conducted by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., and supports intentional weight loss among senior adults. Whether weight loss is beneficial has been debated because of thisconcept that being overweight is protective.In short, the researchers found that physical activity and weight loss for overweight and obese adults resulted in lower cardiovascular (心血管) disease risk and improved mobility. This finding supports previous studies demonstrating that exercise builds muscle and bone strength, improves balance and coordination, prevents falls and enables seniors to enjoy a more active lifestyle, they said.Hui Zheng of Ohio State, the lead author of first study, said that the negative effects of obesity on health are greatest for young people.59. The underlined word ―detrimental‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. importantB. fundamentalC. harmfulD. helpful60. As for the 2001 study, the general public wrongly think that _______.A. it is healthy and protective for people to be very overweightB. people with a BMI of 27 or more are classified as overweightC. senior adults with a BMI of 27 lived longer than those either thinner or heavierD. carrying extra pounds is a risk factor for many types of cancer and other diseases61. What can we learn from the two new studies?A. It’s difficult for seniors who have a so-called healthy weight to have a long life span.B. It’s most dangerous for normal-weight people to continue to lose weight.C. The two studies are based on and in agreement with previous studies.D. The second one recommends overweight and obese adults work out and lose weight.62. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The negative effects of obesity on health are greatest for young people.B. Being slightly overweight may bring some health benefits for seniors.C. It is harmless for overweight young people to continue to gain weight.D. People at a healthy weight should intentionally put on extra weight.DIt might not come as a surprise that China fell behind Western countries in a recent UN report on global happiness. China was only ranked 112th happiest country out of 156 in the UN’s World Happiness Report in April.The happiest country, it seems, is Denmark, closely followed by three more northern European countries- Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands.But apart from income and lifestyle differences, there are also cultural reasons for this divide. They show that Chinese people and Westerners have different perceptions of happiness.According to a survey conducted by CCTV, income levels most affected Chinese people’s sense of well- being (55.5 percent), followed by health (48.9 percent) and quality of marriage or love life (32 percent).It seems that all these criteria are lagging(落后) in China, and that the obvious explanation for greater happiness in the West is higher incomes.But not so, says Professor John Helliwell, an American economist at the University of British Columbia and coauthor of the UN report.According to Helliwell, low-income individuals may experience an initial jump in happiness when their money increases, but this feeling decreases as they adapt to their new circumstances. He stresses the example of the US, where, despite GDP figures rising consistently for the past 50 years, happiness has been steadily declining.This is because people desire more than money and material wealth. ―To be happy, we need t o feel connection, trust and meaningful relationships,‖ explains Helliwell.Dr Deborah Swallow, a UK expert on cultural diversity however, believes there are some differences in the perceptions of happiness in the West and China.―For North Americans and Europeans, happiness tends to be defined in terms of personal achievement, and is best predicted by self-esteem‖ she says.―For East Asians, happiness tends to be de fined in terms of interpersonal connectedness, and is best predicted by how well involved the self is in a social network.‖Living standards are not necessarily the last word on happiness, as suggested by China’s Urban Happiness Ranking 2012, released by the Hong Kong-based China Institute of City Competitiveness in July.According to the survey’s results, Qingdao in Shandong province is China’s happiest city with a score of 95.08.Surprisingly, China’s first-tier cities scored relatively low, with Shenzhen ranking 94th, Beijing 96th and Shanghai in 99th position.63. According to the passage, which of the following about happiness is Correct?A. People’s sense of happiness has nothing to do with money.B. People’s sense of happiness is determined by many fa ctors.C. A man who has a strong social relationship is sure to be happy.D. A man with healthy body must have the most happiness.64. Which of the following statements might Professor John Helliwell agree with ?A. Happiness is an inner feeling and will not be influenced by the outer factors.B. Poor people may become happier when their income increases.C. Americans’ sense of happiness has been increasing in the recent years.D. People’s sense of happiness is largely determined by income in the west.65. Which of the following statements is true?A. In general, people in West are happier than people in East.B. In East Asian, happiness has much to do with personal factors.C. People’s opinions of happiness is completely different between the West and t he East.D. In china, people in the highly developed areas are not necessarily happier thanpeople in the poorer area.66. You might read the passage in a ________ column of a newspaper.A. CultureB.SocietyC. MedicineD. EducationEThe day the letter arrived from my university telling me how much I owed them for my first semester, I felt a lump forming in my throat. I hadn’t even started my degree and already I was in debt. But although the sum was unsettling, I had peace of mind: I had taken out a loan that would cover the next three years of tuition fees and living expenses.A government body in the UK, the Student Loans Company, provides loans to students whose parents cannot afford to cover the costs themselves. Students forward this amount to the university in advance and agree to repay the loan when they begin their first job. For me, it was a lot of money –around ＆6,000(60,860 Yuan) per year in total –and much more than I had ever been responsible for. I would receive a couple of thousand pounds per semester –half for tuition fees, half for living costs.Even though I will be paying off my debt for a long time, I don’t regret my decision.Having a loan taught me a lot about money management, which I would not have learned otherwise. Each term I paid my tuition fees in one payment, but I also received my loan for living costs in one payment. It was up to me to organize how I would spend this.I divided the amount to calculate my weekly budget and it was important that I tried not to overspend. I had to be disciplined and keep a close eye on my expenditure. Food, clothes and going out are the main things students spend money on.With a loan, students have total financial freedom. Instead of having someone looking over their shoulder, they must make every financial decision for themselves.This year, university fees were tripled. But when it comes to money management, perhaps this generation will be the smartest yet.67. How did the writer feel when the letter arrived?A. Stressed.B. Calm.C. Relieved.D.Unsettled.68. Which of the following statements about the loan is right?A. It’s meant for exce llent students.B. It’s well beyond what the author could be responsible for.C. Students must pay it off as soon as they get a job.D. Students can receive the money monthly.69. The student loan has all of the advantages except that______.A. It can make students live a comfortable life in university.B. It can enable students to carry on with their study.C. It can teach students to spent money wisely.D. It can help to reduce family burden.70. What does the underlined part ―having someone looking over their shoulder‖ mean?A. to spy on you skepticallyB. to rely on them heavilyC. to look after you carefullyD. to watch over you closely第四部分：书面表达71.____________________China will become stronger and stronger in the near future.(hope)在不久的将来中国有望变得越来越强大。
