            • 1． You may know the English letters A，B and C．But do you know there are people called ABC？You may like eating bananas．But did you know there is such a thing as a"banana person"？How strange!Are these people from"another earth"？No．They are just Chinese people like you and me．
                  ABC means American-born Chinese．An ABC is a Chinese，but was born in the United States．Sometimes，people call an ABC a"banana person"．A banana is yellow outside and white inside．So，when a person is a banana，he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese．
                  Do you know why？Usually，ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language．Some of them don't speak Chinese．Also，they are not interested in Chinese politics．
                  But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese，can we still call them Chinese people？Yes，of course．They are Chinese．They are overseas Chinese．These people may be citizens of another country like the US，Canada or Singapore．But they have Chinese blood．Their parents，grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China．They all have black eyes and black hair．But they are not Chinese citizens．They are not people of the People's Republic of China．For example，we all know the famous scientist C．N．Yang．He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957．Chinese people love him．But he is an American citizen．
              12．"ABC"in this text stands for"    "．
              A．three English letters         B．a kind of banana
              C．Chinese born in America       D．Americans born in China
              13．Chinese in Western countries are called"banana persons"because    ．
              A．their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
              B．they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
              C．they were born in China but go to study in America
              D．they are Chinese who look like bananas
              14．C．N．Yang is mentioned here to show that    ．
              A．American Chinese are great
              B．we love American Chinese
              C．Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes
              D．American Chinese are not Chinese citizens
              15．This text is mainly about    ．
              A．different kinds of bananas
              B．overseas Chinese
              C．the Nobel Prize
              D．the life story of C．N．Yang．

            • 2． Life is good for penguins in Antarctica（南极洲）at the end of the movie Happy Feet．Real-life penguins，though，have little to celebrate．
              Twelve of the world's 19penguin species（种类）face serious dangers，according to wildlife experts．
              They are in danger of disappearing from the earth，including emperor penguins．
              "Many of the world's penguin species are in big trouble，"penguin expert Kassel Siegel told WR News．
              Her wildlife group is asking the US government to protect the 12species of penguins in danger．Several countries are making efforts to make sure the rapidly increasing tourists in Antarctica do not cause environmental problems．
              Overfishing is one reason for the problem．Penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill．Fishing boats are catching lots of krill．That leaves less food for penguins to eat．
              Another reason for the decline（减少）in the number of penguins is global warming．Global warming is the slow increase in average temperature around the world．It is causing sea ice to melt．Penguins need the sea ice as a place to rest while they search for krill．
              Scientists say global warming is caused when we drive cars or use electricity．That burns coal，oil，and natural gas．The burning of coal，oil，and natural gas gives off gases that add to the overheating of the earth．"We can and must reduce gas emissions（排放）to keep penguins safe in the future，"says Siegel．

              24．What would probably happen if people reduced their use of coal，oil，and natural gas？    
              A．Penguins would have to move toother places to live．
              B． Penguins would be less likely to disappear from the earth．
              C．There would be more krill for penguins to eat．
              D．t would save people a lot of money．
              25．Which o the following are the reasons for the decline in the number of penguins？    
              A．The development of tourism and overheating．
              B．Overfishing and attacks from other animals．
              C．Overfishing and overheating．
              D．The develoment of tourism and attacks from other animals．
              26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？    
              A．Penguins mainly live on small fish and tiny animals which live in water．
              B．Penguins need the sea ice as a place to feed their children．
              C．Nineteen of the world's penguin species face serious dangers．
              D．The US government has taken measures to protect the penguins in danger．

            • 3． 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．

            • 4． 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．

            • 5． 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

            • 6． 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    ．

            • 7． （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    
              B．offer more jobs to people
              C．ensure the quality of cocoa 
              D．supply cocoa for two million people
              26．What does the last paragraph tell us？    
              A．The taste of chocolates is changing．

            • 8． 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．
              B．Depression is a commonly--existing problem only in rich countries．
              C．Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work．
              D．The poorer and the less educated a person is，the less he will suffer from depression．
              69．Depression becomes more serious in China because of    ．
              A．the lack of treatment and doctors           
              B．the pressure of unemployment
              C．their unwillingness to tell it to their bosses    
              D．the doctor's careless work

              A．very unconfident and often absent-minded

            • 9． 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    ．
              A．complain personally to the manager

              C．Make polite and general statements about the problem．
