            • 1. Losing weight has become a major concern for so many people.People try different weight loss methods,some of which will never work,while others provide just a temporary solution.It is important to note that there are some green ways to lose weight that are not only healthy and effective but also good for the environment.
              Growing your own vegetables can ensure that you are eating healthy foods.The process is even better if you can use organic manure(肥料).It is not only a good way to go green; it also provides you with plenty of physical exercise.Preparing a garden,including planting and taking care of the vegetables,is a great way to achieve a healthy weight.
              If you usually eat meat on a daily basis,you should consider replacing that meat with more vegetables.If you have no idea what vegetarian( 素食主义者)diets are like,you can do  research on the Internet,and you can also get information from vegetarian magazines such asVegetarian Times Magazine.By reducing your intake of meat,you will be able to reduce your intake of fats,and hence,it will be easier for you to get rid of some weight.
              Reduce periods of driving and try walking or cycling instead.If you are used to driving your car,it would be great for you if you substituted walking or cycling for driving.Cycling and walking are good workouts that will ensure that your body burns excess fat and calories,and therefore,you will be able to lose weight.
              It is important to know that there are so many ways in which we can turn our bad habits into good ones.Most of these good habits will not only benefit our bodies; they will also make the world a better place for all of us.

              49.What does the first paragraph imply?    
              A.Most people have good ways to lose weight.

              C.People don't like the taste of healthy food.
              D.People don't care about the environment.
              50.Planting your own vegetables means    
              A.you will never get sick
              B.you will get enough organic vegetables
              C.you can also get some exercise
              D.the garden will take on a wonderful new look

              D.It shows ways to lose weight in a short time.
              52.What is the passage mainly about    
              A.A few green ways to lose weight.
              B.The environment and children's health.

            • 2. It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,"a brilliantly (精彩地)written book".However,he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
              And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets",Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out),I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42percent of people,I have read the book at number one,George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.
              The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him,but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.)
              Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
              But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.K.Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella (ah,the big sellers,in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58percent said they had never done so).

              29.How did the author find his friend a book liar?    
              A.By judging his manner of speaking.
              B.By looking into his background.
              C.By mentioning a famous name.
              D.By discussing the book itself.
              30.Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report    
              A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
              B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
              C.The author admitted having read 9books.
              D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
              31.By lying about reading,a person hopes to    
              A.control the conversation           
              B.appear knowledgeable
              C.learn about the book              
              D.make more friends
              32.What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?    
              A.Favorable.
              B.Uncaring
              C.Doubtful                
              D.Friendly.
            • 3. The thing about the Internet of Things(物联网),which describes the near future in which all our devices and appliances are connected to the Internet---and one another---is that suddenly they're vulnerable(脆弱的,易受伤害的) to the dark side of constant connectivity,too.Cyber security folks point out it"opens a Pandora's Box of security and privacy risks that cannot be ignored,"writes Christophe Fabre,CEO of software services vendor(供应商) Axway.
              The security firm Proofpoint Inc.reports it has uncovered one of the first Internet of Things cyber attacks.Included in the attack were Smart TVs,wireless speakers and at least one refrigerator.It turns out refrigerators can send out emails,so just as your email can be hacked,your fridge can,too.
              "People should be concerned because unlike PCs and laptops where there are tools and user interfaces (用户界面)where you can tell if something is wrong,there's not a lot to help you tell if your fridge or home audio system has been compromised,"says David Knight.
              Here's how the company says it worked Hackers commandeered(强占) home routers and the like and used them to send out malicious(恶意的) emails to grow their botnet (僵尸网络),or army of infected devices.Botnets-and now,"ThingBots"-can be used by hackers to perform large-scale cyber attacks against websites by drowning them with traffic.
              So as consumers are beginning to buy Internet-connected appliances,Knight says they should consider the security of those devices,too.And that companies haven't done enough to protect appliances from hacks.
              "Many of these devices,without picking on manufacturers,are running old software with known vulnerabilities.They've got very insecure default passwords like〔username〕admin〔password〕admin,"Knight says.The net effect for consumers,he says-other than degraded machine performance because of compromised software-is that their machines will be busy sending malicious messages"instead of playing music or doing whatever they're supposed to be doing,"he says."They also might cease to function or not be reachable for their intended purpose."
              When a fridge was hacked,the firm said it didn't peek."We chose not to pry into the privacy of this person's refrigerator,"Knight says.
              59.What Fabre said in para.1suggests that    
              A.it is dangerous for all devices to be connected constantly.
              B.constant connectivity may cause devices to break down.
              C.a security box is needed for all appliances and devices.
              D.people ignore the risks of connecting the Internet.
              60.What does the underlined word"compromised"mean?    
              A.Exposed.B.Damaged.C.Updated.D.Connected.
              61.Why do some people hack the refrigerator?    
              A.To destroy the function of the refrigerator.
              B.To pry into the privacy of the owner.
              C.To send a lot of messages to drown websites.
              D.To know the contents of the refrigerator.
              62.According to the text,a hacked smart TV    
              A.won't be able to be turned off all the time
              B.will spread harmful messages among viewers
              C.will be busy providing people with junk ads
              D.will fail to broadcast programmes as usual.
            • 4. If you visited your Qzone,Youku.com or other social media websites recently,you might have thought that some famous people and even some of your friends had gone mad.
              They took buckets(桶) of icy water and poured them over their heads.They recorded the process,and even asked you to join them!
              Welcome to the Ice Bucket Challenge.The challenge is simple:When challenged,one either pours a bucket of icy water over his or her head or donates $100 to the ALS(肌萎缩侧索硬化) Organization.He or she can do both,of course.
              As the challenge has got more and more popular,however,I think that it has lost its real meaning.The activity's initial(最初的) purpose was to make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money for scientists to treat the disease.However,the videos have caught people's attention too far from the real purpose of the activity.Many people did it just for fun or to follow the trend(潮流).They didn't even know what ALS was,let alone donate money to the charity.
              Some people even tried hard to take the challenge in a funny way.They didn't know how bad the ALS patients would feel if they watched those videos.
              At the same time,the world is facing another challenge-the water crisis(危机).According to The Washington Post,the Ice Bucket Challenge had already used over 5 million gallons (14 million liters) of water by August,which put the world's freshwater reserves(储存) under a lot of pressure.
              In short,the Ice Bucket Challenge has changed from a good thing to a show.ALS patients need our kindness,help and respect.We should do something to help them.
              29.According to the passage,the real purpose of the Ice Bucket Challenge was to    
              A.ask more people to join in making films and become famous.
              B.let more people have fun and follow the trend.
              C.make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money.
              D.make ALS patients feel that they are not alone.
              30.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?    
              A.Many people knew what ALS was and donated lots of money.
              B.Some people tried to take the challenge in a funny way.
              C.The Ice Bucket Challenge has wasted a lot of water.
              D.The world is facing another challenge-the water crisis.
              31.What best describes the writer's attitude to the Ice Bucket Challenge?    
              A.Exited.B.Worried.C.Satisfied.D.Interested.
            • 5. When my family moved to America in 2010from a small village in Guangdong,China,we brought not only our luggage,but also our village rules,customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.Unluckily,this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
              I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One time,when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that,her face showed great displeasure.My manager,who happened to hear what I said,took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description"old".I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple heard my reason,they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.
              In my village in China,people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
              However,in the United States,people think"growing old"is a problem since"old"shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by taking exercise,and women put on makeup,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly,they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
              After that,I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more; I still respect them,but now I don't show my feelings through words.

              56.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because    
              A.the manager asked him to do so
              B.he respected the elderly
              C.the couple wanted him to do so
              D.he wanted more money
              57.When Jack called the couple"elderly",they became    
              A.nervous 
              B.satisfied
              C.unhappy
              D.excited
              58.In Jack's hometown,    
              A.people dislike being called"old"
              B.young people can learn from old people's experience
              C.many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
              D.the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
              59.After this experience,Jack    
              A.lost his job in the restaurant
              B.made friends with the couple
              C.no longer respected the elderly
              D.changed his way with old people
              60.Which of the following is TRUE?    
              A.The more Jack explained,the angrier the couple got.
              B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
              C.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.
              D.From this experience,Jack learned more about American culture.
            • 6. When asked why he or she wears clothes,some people will probably answer"to keep warm and to cover my body".These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn,but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
              If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies,most clothes would be simple and cheap.In most Western countries,however,clothes are sometimes very expensive.The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes.The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
              Successful businessmen,for example,often wear very expensive suits,shirts and ties.Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie.It's just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer.A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.
              Fashion is always changing,which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months,even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice.Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion.Being fashionable,therefore,can be a very expensive pastime!

              61.What do people basically wear clothes for?    
              A.Looking attractive to others.
              B.Following the fashion.
              C.Appearing successful to others.
              D.Keeping warm and covering bodies.
              62.The main reason why clothes are sometimes very expensive is that    
              A.one has to buy new clothes      
              B.these clothes are in fashion
              C.the cost of the cloth is high      
              D.making clothes costs much
              63.We can learn from the passage that    
              A.expensive clothes are not any warmer than cheap ones
              B.fashion is not always changing
              C.expensive clothes are warmer
              D.fashion designers like expensive clothes
              64.What does the underlined word"wardrobes"in Paragraph 4mean?    
              A.Fashionable clothes shops.
              B.The clothes that some people have.
              C.Cupboards for storing clothes.
              D.Shelves used for keeping books.
              65.What is the passage mainly about?    
              A.Suits and ties.
              B.Clothes and fashion.
              C.Beauty and success.
              D.Cost and pastime.
            • 7. Kiss crisis,hug horrors and the UK's handshake headaches
              Greeting someone,saying goodbye-these situations fill me with unease.You have a second to make a dangerous decision.One peck (轻吻)?Two pecks?Three?No kisses at all?Why,I think,as I crash into the other person's face,why can't it be as simple as a handshake?
              A survey by the soap company Radox in May showed one in five Brits now feels a handshake is"too formal",according to the Daily Mail.Some 42 percent said they never shook hands when greeting friends.For one third of people the alternative was a hug,for 16percent a kiss on the cheek.
              British people are known to be reserved (保守的)-unfriendly,some would say.Handshakes used to work for us because we didn't have to get too close.But the super-British handshake is no longer fashionable.We want to be more like our easygoing Mediterranean neighbors who greet each other with kisses and hugs.
              The trouble is,we still find it a bit awkward.What does a married man do when greeting a married female friend,for example?How should someone younger greet someone older?
              Guys don't tend to kiss one another; my male friends in Britain go for the"manly hug",taking each other stiffly (不自然地) in one arm and giving a few thumps on the back with words like"Take it easy,yeah?".
              The biggest questions,if you do decide to kiss,are how many times and which cheek first.Unlike the French,who comfortably deliver three,our cheek-pecks usually end in embarrassed giggling (咯咯笑):"Oh,gosh,sorry,I didn't mean to kiss you on the lips,I never know where to aim for first!"
              But then it's never been easy for us poor,uncomfortable Brits.Even the handshake had its problems:don't shake too hard,but don't hold the other person's hand too limply (无力地) either,and definitely don't go in with sweaty hands.
              Maybe it's better to leave it at a smile and a nod.

            • 8. Poet Dean Young has dealt with impermanence (无常) a lot in his career,but it's a particularly strong theme in Young's latest collection,Fall Higher.The new collection was published in April,just days after the poet received a life-saving heart transplant (移植) after about a decade of living with a weakening heart condition.
              Young,whose work is often frank and rich with twisted humor,tells NPR's Renee Montagne that as he recovers from operation,he's also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits.
              "I'm getting back to it,"Young says,"not with the sort of concentration and sort of flame that I look forward to in the future,but I am blackening some pages."
              And on those blackened pages you'll find poems like"How Grasp Green",which carries themes of springtime and rebirth.It's one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant.
              It's easy to spot clues (线索) to Young's awful health situation in the lines of his poetry.
              Fall Higher's"Vintage"opens with"Because I will die soon,I fall asleep,during the lecture on the ongoing emergency."And the poem"The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish"-published in The New Yorker in February-opens with the CT scan that revealed Young's heart condition.
              Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry,and that's especially true if Young's work,which has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart.
              "A lot of times,it's not just a metaphor (暗喻),"Young says."For me,it's an actual concern because I've been living with this disease for over 10years.My father died of heart problems when he was 49,so it's been a sort of shadowy concern for me my whole life.
              But Young's poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart.He wrote Fall Higher's,"Late Valentine"for his wife."We've been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital,"Young says of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young,who says"‘Late Valentine'is very sweet."
              His work also touches on themes of randomness and fate-two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of transplanting a new heart from a 22-year-old student."I just feel enormous gratitude,"he says of his donor (捐献者)."He gave me a heart so I'm still alive …I'm sure I'm going to think about this person for the rest of my life."

            • 9. 阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题.(请注意问题后的词数要求)
              [1]Some expressions describe people who are important,or who at least think they are.One such expression is bigwig.
              [2]In the seventeenth century,important men in Europe began to wear false hair,called wigs.As years passed,wigs began to get bigger.The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was. The more important he was-or thought he was一                 
              Today,the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important.People never tell someone he is a bigwig.They only use the expression behind his back.
              [3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person.A big wheel may be the head of a company,a political leader,a famous movie star.They are big wheels because they are powerful.What they do affects many people.Big wheels give the orders.Other people carry them out.As in many machines,a big wheel makes the little wheels turn.Big wheel became a popular expression after World WarⅡ.It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks.They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had influence.
              [4]The top of something is the highest part.So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person.The expression is top banana.A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show.The funniest comedian is called the top banana.The next is second banana.And so on.Why a banana?A comedy act in earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the others over the head with a soft object. The object was shaped like the yellow fruit:the banana.Top banana still is used mainly in show business.Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area.
               
              76.What's the best title of the text?(no more than 7 words)

            • 10. A.There are few statues in the Middle East.
              B.Art is a good means for people to know about religions.
              C.Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.
              D.People know more about our culture through learning art history.
              E.Art is more objective than history itself.
              F.Art history provides information of different places and people.

              80.A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate on politics,economics and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people,but also religious beliefs,emotions,and psychology.    
              81.In addition,information about the daily activities of our ancestors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art.In short,art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place,and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.    
              82.In history books,objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is,facts about politics are given,but opinions are not expressed.Art,on the other hand,is subjective:it reflects emotions and opinions.The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly"political"artist.In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808,he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people.Over a hundred years later,symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso's Guernica to express the horror of war.Meanwhile,on another continent,the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera,Jose Clemente Orozco,and David Alfaro Siqueiros-as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins-depicted these Mexican artists'deep anger and sadness about social problems.    
              83.In the same way,art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs.For hundreds of years in Europe,religious art was almost the only type of art that existed.Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible.Although most people couldn't read,they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.    
              84.By contrast,one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.
