6．We've been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us．We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy．Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves．
However，the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk．The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow．
You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule．If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them．Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk．
When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up．If you're not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer．
The built．in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you've burned．You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand．The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements．
All of that smart tech doesn't come cheap though．The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep 2，990，whilethemoreexecutivemodelwithaddedfeatures，theF1，goesfor4，190．
While expensive，it's worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks．Much like a good mattress（床墊），a good desk that works with you is worth the investment．Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive．

32．The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed toC．
A．help users with their work 
B．keep users moving all the time
C．get users to exercise while working 
D．remind users of their working schedule
33．Which is the feature of the touchscreen of the deskB？
A．It can tell users when to change positions．
B．It can track users'changes of positions．
C．It can keep users in a fixed position．
D．It can detect users'health condition．
34．Which of the following can best describe the deskD？
A．Productive but challenging． 
B．Convenient but unaffordable．
C．Complex and impractical．
D．Multi-functional and intelligent．
35．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraphA？
A．To spend money on such a desk is rewarding．
B．We should get such a desk as soon as possible．
C．It won't be long before the desk is widely used．
D．Desks play a very important role in our daily life．

7．British MPs （國會議員） have voted in favour of the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man，in a historic move．The UK is now set to become the first country to introduce laws to allow the creation of babies from three people．In a free vote in the Commons，382MPs were in favour and 128against the technique that stops genetic diseases being passed from mother to child．During the debate，ministers said the technique was"light at the end of a dark tunnel"for families．
A further vote is required in the House of Lords．If everything goes ahead then the first such baby could be born next year．Supporters said it was"good news for progressive medicine"but critics say they will continue to fight against the technique that they say raises too many ethical （倫理的） and safety concerns．Estimates suggest 150three-person babies could be born each year．
Prime Minister David Cameron said："We're not playing god here； we're just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one．"The method，which was developed in Newcastle，should help women like Sharon Bernadi，from Sunderland，who lost all seven of her children to mitochondrial （線粒體的） disease．Ms Bernadi said she was"overwhelmed"by the decision．
Mitochondria are the tiny compartments （隔間） inside nearly every cell of the body that transform food into useable energy．They have their own DNA，which does not affect characteristics such as appearance． Defective mitochondria are passed down only from the mother．They can lead to brain damage，muscle wasting，heart failure and blindness．The technique uses a modified version to combine the DNA of the two parents with the healthy mitochondria of a donor woman．It results in babies with 0.1% of their DNA from the second woman and is a permanent change that would be passed down through the generations．

25．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？C
A．The new technique is intended to provide the parents a healthy baby．
B．The mitochondrial disease can lead to various fatal illnesses．
C．Britain is the first country to have created three-person babies．
D．All of Ms Bernadi's children died of a genetic disease．
26．The underlined word"defective"is closest to the meaning ofD．
A．strangely-made                     
B．normally developed
C．functioning perfectly                
D．not functioning properly
27．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．Mitochondria are inside nearly every cell that change food into useable energy
B．DNA of Mitochondria can affect a person's appearance
C．in medical science ethical factors should be taken into consideration
D．the donor woman's DNA will not be found in the three-person baby
28．Prime Minister David CameronA the creation of such babies．

4．
A．What does the Olympic Motto mean？
B．Research on individual styles improves performance．
C．Research holds the key to success．
D．Personalized programs will help．
E．New equipment has made a difference．
F．Is there a limit to record-breaking？
76．F
A world record is every athlete's dream，but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times．Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956has been beaten by nearly 15seconds，while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since.1953．‘Faster，higher，stronger'，is the Olympic motto，and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve．But one wonders if this can continue．
77．E
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances．For example，since the introduction of strong flexible，fiberglass poles，over a meter has been added to the pole vault record．There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe．And while a shoe won't actually make someone run faster，modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable，injury-free training．
78．C
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science，technology and medicine than anything else．Athletic technique，training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record．It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough．
79．B
The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on．Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing．Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach，as once thought，but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off．However，the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles．For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump．
80．D
In the future，it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes．Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining，the cause of many injuries．If athletes feed all their information into a database，it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut．

8．We've used the wind as an energy source for a long time．The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4，000 years ago，and sailing boats were around long before that．Wind power was used in the Middle Ages，in Europe，to grind（磨碎） corn，which is where the term"windmill"comes from．
We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower，with a large propellor on the top．The wind blows the propellor round，which turns a generator to produce electricity．We tend to build many of these towers together，to make a"wind farm"and produce more electricity．The more towers，the more wind，and the larger the propellors，the more electricity we can make．It's only worth building wind farms in places that have strong，steady winds，although boats and caravans（大篷車）increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged．
The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas，at the tops of rounded hills，open plains and gaps in mountains-places where the wind is strong and reliable．Some are offshore．To be worthwhile，you need an average wind speed of around 25 km/h．Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales．Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators．In California，several"wind farms"supply electricity to homes around Los Angeles．
The propellors are large，to obtain energy from the largest possible volume of air．The blades can be angled to cope with varying wind speeds．Some designs use vertical turbines（垂直渦輪機），which don't need to be turned to face the wind．The towers are tall，to get the propellors as high as possible，up to where the wind is stronger．This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming．
66．The first paragraph aims to introduce to usD．
A．the function of wind power                
B．the source of wind power
C．the nations using wind power                        
D．the history of using wind power
67．How does a wind power work？D
A．The generator turns the propeller blades and produce electricity．
B．The tall tower helps turn the energy in the air into electricity．
C．Warm air rises and makes the propellor move round．
D．The propellor blown round by wind turns the generator to produce electricity．
68．The best places for building the wind farm are places whereD．
A．boats and caravans can often be seen         
B．isolated farms don't have enough electricity
C．there are less human activities                   
D．the wind is strong and reliable
69．We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．wind farms will not take up too much farming land
B．wind farms need no fuel because wind is free
C．the blades can be angled to turn to face the wind wherever it comes from
D．the higher and larger the towers are，the stronger the wind is
70．What can be a suitable title for the passage？B
A．Where to build a wind farm．
B．ABC of the using of wind energy．
C．How to make best use of wind．
D．Wind energy is the best energy．

5．Some people may be born happy，while others are genetically negative，scientists have suggested in a study published late February in a British journal．
Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in determining how the neurotransmitter （神經(jīng)傳遞素） serotonin works within the brain．Serotonin，a hormone （荷爾蒙），passes chemical messages between nerve cells．It has been closely linked to mood．Several anti-depressant （抗抑郁） drugs regulate serotonin levels．
Scientists had also identified three variants （變體） of the gene．Two so-called"short"variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide （自殺） attempts．Unlike the two"short"variants，the"long"variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images，such as fierce animals，and a clear liking for positive ones，such as flowers．
Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain showed participants a series of images，which were divided into three kinds：negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a snake or person about to commit suicide，pleasant ones and neutral （中性的） ones．
The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene"showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material，"the researchers found．They paid close attention to the pretty pictures，and ignored the frightening ones．On the other hand，the short variant groups had the opposite reaction．
In January，the Australian government organized"happiness workshops"，teaching government staff how to be happy．The department that held the"happiness workshops"said unhappy staff weren't productive staff．
Australian political opposition parties have argued that the"happiness workshops"are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity as intended．However，whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result，we will have to wait and see．

71．Various kinds of images were shown to the participants toC．
A．draw their attention
B．cater to their different tastes
C．find out about their reactions
D．teach them to improve their artistic appreciation
72．The"short"variants of 5-HTTLPR differ from the"long"variants of 5-HTTLPR in thatB．
A．the former is connected with positive mood while the latter negative
B．the former is connected with negative mood while the latter positive
C．the former has a greater effect on one's mood than the latter
D．the latter has a greater effect on one's mood than the former
73．Which of the following statements is true about"happiness workshops"？D
A．Most people believe that they are a waste of money．
B．They will be beneficial in the long run．
C．The purpose of"happiness workshops"is to teach all Australians to be happy．
D．They are organized in the belief that happy staff can work more efficiently．
74．It can be learned from the article thatA．
A．drugs can be used to control people's serotonin levels
B．happiness is more important than sadness
C．nothing can affect our mood
D．people with the short variant of 5-HTTLPR prefer a flower to a snake
75．The article is mainly aboutB．
A．the reason for the foundation of"happiness workshops"
B．the link between people's mood and their gene
C．the study on people's likes and dislikes
D．the differences in people's attitude towards life．

6．Like all animal species，plant species must spread their offspring to suitable areas where they can grow and pass on their parents'genes．Young animals generally spread by walking or flying．Because plants don't have that ability，they must somehow hitchhike（搭車）．Some plant seeds scatter by blowing in the wind or floating on water．Many other plant species，though，trick an animal into carrying their seeds．How do they do this？They enclose the seeds within a tasty fruit and advertise the fruit's ripeness by its colour or smell．The hungry animal collects and swallows the fruit，walks or flies off，and later spits out the seeds somewhere far from its parent tree．Seeds can thereby be carried for thousands of miles．It may surprise you to learn that plant seeds can resist digestion．In fact，some seeds actually require passage through an animal's body before they can grow．
Wild strawberries offer a good example of hitchhiking tactics．When strawberry seeds are still young and not yet ready to be planted，the surrounding fruit is green，sour and hard．When the seeds finally mature，the berries turn red，sweet，and tender．The change in the berries'colour serves as a signal to birds which then eat the strawberries，fly off，and eventually spit out the seeds．
Naturally，strawberry plants didn't set out with a conscious intention of attracting birds only when their seeds were ready to be dispersed．Nor did birds set out with the intent of planting strawberries．Rather，strawberry plants evolved through natural selection．The sweeter and redder the final strawberry，the more birds spread its ripe seeds； the greener and more sour the young strawberry，the fewer birds destroyed the seeds by eating berries before the seeds were ready．
46．What does the underlined word"dispersed"in the third paragraph mean？A
A．spread                                
B．eaten         
C．born                                  
D．planted
47．For plants，which of the following is NOT a way of spreading their offspring to suitable areas？D
A．Hitchhiking．
B．Blowing in the wind．
C．Floating on water．
D．Tracking an animal．
48．Which strategy does the example of wild strawberries describe？D
A．The conscious intent of attracting birds．
B．Spreading by walking．
C．Spreading by flying．
D．The strategy of taking a lift．
49．Why does the author describe how strawberry seeds are spread？C
A．To show plants are good at adapting to the environment．．
B．To show strawberry's special way．
C．To show the plant has different ways of spreading seeds．
D．To show the mystery of plant．
50．What's the passage mainly about？B
A．How animals disperse offspring．
B．How plants disperse their offspring．
C．Plant evolution．
D．Plants'hitchhiking on animals．
