            • 1． Given that many people's moods （情绪）are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF） has over 100 varieties of chocolates．Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．
              If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates．
              The CRF's produce is"green"，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper，red bean （豆）．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others．

              29．What is good about chocolate？    
              A．It serves as a suitable gift．
              B．It works as an effective medicine．
              C．It helps improve the state of mind．
              D．It strengthens business relations．
              30．Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF？    
              A．He knows the importance of research．
              B．He learns form shops of similar types．
              C．He has the support of many big names
              D．He has a lot of marketing experience．
              31．Which line of the CRF produce sells best？    
              A．The Connoisseur Series．
              B．The Exotic Series．
              C．The Alcohol Series．
              D．The Sichuan Series．
              32．The words"chocolate snobs"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who    
              A．are particular about chocolate          
              B．know little about cocoa beans
              C．look down upon others          
              D．like to try new flavors．

            • 2． It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves．Even reading about yawning can make you do it．Now，a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force．
              Yawning when others yawn，the study suggests，is a sign of pity and a form of social connection．Kids don't develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four，the study found．Kids with autism （自闭症） are less likely to catch yawns．In the most serious cases，they never do．Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly．The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect．
              "Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together，"said Molly Helt，a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut．"Yawning may be part of that．"Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane．She repeatedly yawned at him，hoping he would yawn back．He never did．
              "The fact that autistic kids don't do it might mean they're really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them，"she said．"The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others'，"she added．"Autistic people never seem to understand that．"
              Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying，scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection．Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group．

              32．According to the first two paragraphs，what does the new study suggest？    
              A．Yawning is a form of communication．
              B．It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn．
              C．Children follow others in yawning just after they are born．
              D．Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God．
              33．According to Molly Helt，    ．
              A．humans differ from animals because they communicate with others
              B．yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
              C．emotions are infectious，but yawning is not
              D．yawning helps clear ears on planes
              34．Which of the following is NOT true about yawning？    
              A．It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn．
              B．Some kids are too young to yawn after others．
              C．Yawning can be used to test children's development．
              D．Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn．
              35．The author implies in the last paragraph that    ．
              A．yawning can make people feel relaxed
              B．it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions
              C．the more you yawn，the happier you will be
              D．yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory．

            • 3． In most towns today，you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights，shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters（恶魔）．The machines have names like Space Warrior，Dark Invader and so on．It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space，but now it seems that they are striking back．
               Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing．They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked"fire"．They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure．They play and play that the pains have no chance to cure properly．The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem：The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen（充血红肿） that they press against the bones．This condition is what doctors now call"Space Warrior's Wrist"．
              Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders．
              Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal．She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day．Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked．One day，after playing a game called Dark Invader，she lost consciousness（晕倒） and fell to the floor．
              Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency．

              12．Electronic games are found very popular with    ．
              A．people living in towns                   
              B．students studying in high schools
              C．girls working in their father's workshops    
              D．young people
              13．"Space Warrior's Wrist"is caused by    ．
              A．constantly pressing the buttons            B．rapidly moving across the screen
              C．tightly holding the joystick controls      D．inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist
              14．The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer    ．
              A．supports playing electronic games    
              B．feels very sorry for the girl
              C．disagreed with young people's playing electronic games
              D．feels worried about young people's poor health
              15．From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is    ．
              A．enjoyable and helpful to the study     
              B．exciting but harmful to the health and study

            • 4． Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be："to be happy．"Ed Deiner，an American psychology professor，has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy，comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves．
              Many people would say that this question does not need an answer．But Professor Deiner has one anyway．"If you're a cheerful，happy person，your marriage is more likely to last，and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job．On average，happy people have stronger immune systems，and there is some evidence that they live longer．"
              So who are the world's happiest people？It depends on how the word is defined．There is individual happiness，the sense of joy we get when we do something we like．But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave．According to Professor Deiner，the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual （相互的，彼此） satisfaction．
              "In the West，the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East．People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting．They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things．If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy，they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives．If not much has gone wrong，then they are satisfied．"
              People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture，Professor Deiner found．"The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame．Hispanic （西班牙语言的） cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others．"
              Income also made a big difference to people's happiness，but only at the lowest levels．Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty．But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes．It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure．
              30．According to the passage，happy people enjoy the following benefits except    ．
              A．a long marriage    
              B．better health 
              C．profession success  
              D．respect from others
              31．What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph？    
              A．Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame．
              B．Spanish people take too much pride in themselves．
              C．Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spanish happiness．
              D．If you are from Spain，you are the happiest．
              32．In the last paragraph，the author seems to tell us    ．
              A．Poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionaires
              B．the higher income one gets，the happier life he lives
              C．Enough money can make us feel safe and happy
              D．Average income earners live the happiest life
              33．The passage mainly discusses    ．
              A．cultural differences in happiness    
              B．reasons for happiness
              C．the happiest culture

            • 5． （2015春•菏泽期中）Can you imagine a world without chocolate？It's not something I'd 1ike to do．so I was relieved to read that there's a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!
              The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world's new cocoa varieties．They must be quarantined（隔离检疫）before they can be grown．Why？Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases．Now we don't want that，do we？
              Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem．
              The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London．And it has improved its facilities．The leader of the institution's cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，"One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material．"
              The cocoa centre has a collection of 400plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of  energy to keep them in tropical conditions．After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe  seeds are sent to some 20countries，including several in West Africa．That's where 75%of the  cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from．The crop is extremely important for the local  economy：it employs about two million people．
              Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection．And more of us seem to count on them now．
              The scientist says，"there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing  constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and  people are getting a taste for different chocolates．"

              24．What is the text mainly about？    
              A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds．
              B．Planting cocoa worldwide．
              C．Keeping cocoa in greenhouse．
              D．Finding the new market for cocoa．
              25．The institution's cocoa project is to    ．
              A．have cocoa skin removed

              C．ensure the quality of cocoa 
              D．supply cocoa for two million people
              26．What does the last paragraph tell us？

            • 6． People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor．But，more importantly，if you are in a situation where important，and perhaps controversial（有争议的），ideas must be presented to less than open minds，humor allows those ideas to be presented in a non-threatening （无威胁的） manner．Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point．Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listener's interest high．In a word，individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments，support interesting presentations and，most of all，entertain their audience in a positive and comfortable way．
              While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor，some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience．If you want to become a professional stand-up （单人表演的） comedian whose goal is 100% entertainment，then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking．They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor．To that end，your participation in this study of humor will become necessary．Hopefully，you will come to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor．

            • 7． Depression （抑郁） is a serious problem today．Depression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars．One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is"widespread，costly and deadly"．Depression hits one person in five around the world．
              Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyone．Over any six-month period，between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．
              Suicide（自杀） rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80percent higher than in the population as a whole，and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks．People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping，getting up on time，and doing work unproductively．
              Depression，which researchers agree，has its origin in the genes，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate，making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently．
              Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese being unable to face it．Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy．Besides，there is no good treatment，with few medical experts available．
              "Most patients in China just don't get help，"a Chinese doctor says．"In my hospital，I have to see 30or 40patients in a morning．I just have time to say‘Hello，how do you feel？'"
              In Western countries，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that their boss would fire them．
              "In my experience，aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it，because they feel the most secure about themselves．"an American doctor says．
              Hopefully，in the near future，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment．
              68．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？    
              A．Everyone is suffering from depression now．

            • 8． When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims，the first step is to present the warranty，or any other records which might help at the store of purchase．In most cases，this action will produce results．However，if it does not，there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction．A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager．In general，the"higher up"his or her complaint，the faster he or she can expect it to be settled．In such a case，it is usually settled in the consumer's favor，assuming he or she has a just claim．
              Consumers should complain in person whenever possible，but if they cannot get to the place of purchase，it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter．
              Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly，and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question．If this cannot be done，the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong，rather than by making general statements．For example，"The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear"is better than"This stereo does not work"．The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer．If so，the consumer should do this，stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible．If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result，the consumer can go to a step further．She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights．

              56．When a consumer finds that his or her purchase has a fault in it，the first thing he or she should do is to    ．

              D．show some written proof of the purchase to the store

            • 9． Why play games？Because they are fun，and a lot more besides．Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all"game"ideas that you will come across throughout your life．
              Think about some of the games you played as a young child，such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek（捉迷藏）．Some games are entertaining and fun．But perhaps more importantly，they translate into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives，such as taking turns and cooperating（合作）．
              Many children's games have a practical side．Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups．For instance，some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting．
              Many sports encourage national or local pride．The most famous games of all，the Olympic Games，bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition．People who watch the event wave flags，knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country，not just the athlete who earned it．For countries experiencing natural disasters or war，an Olympic win can mean so much．
              Sports are also an event that unites people．Soccer is the most popular sport in the world．People on all continents play it--some for fun and some for a living．Nicolette Iribarne，a Californian soccer player，has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer．He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future．
              Next time you play your favorite game or sport，think about why you enjoy it，what skills are needed，and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life．
              52．The underlined part in Paragraph 2most probably means that games can    ．
              A．describe life in an exciting way
              B．turn real-life experiences into a play
              C．make learning life skills more interesting
              D．change people's views of sporting events
              53．According to the passage，why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging？    
              A．It inspires people's deep love for the country．
              B．It proves the exceptional skills of the winners．
              C．It helps the country out of natural disasters．
              D．It earns the winners fame and fortunes．
              54．Iribarne's goal of forming the foundation is to    ．
              A．bring fun to poor kids B．provide soccer balls for children

              55．What can be inferred from the passage？    
              A．Games benefit people all their lives．

            • 10． Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems．For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants（居民）of a country．If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy．They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely．They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy．It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them．Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that make tourists feel much interested．Tourism should also advance the well being （health and happiness） of local inhabitants．
              Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry．This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer．
              On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs．Businesses can also lose money．It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，air terminals，first-class roads，and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions．For example，a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50thousand dollars per room to build．If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel lose money．
              Building a hotel is just a beginning．There must be support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，large underground pipes to handle waste and water．All of these support facilities cost money．If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost．
              59．Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage？

              B．Building roads and hotels is essential．

              D．Planning is of great importance to tourism．
