5.In the Netherlands,cycling isn't seen as eco-friendly exercise; it's part of everyday life,as it is people's top choice to go to school and work.
"There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands.In cities like Amsterdam and The Hague,up to 70percent of all journeys are made by bike,"said BBC.
So how did cycling become such a popular means of transportation in the European country?
In the 1970s,the Dutch government began to improve its cycling basic facilities(設施) due to both a national social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children and the oil crisis in the Middle East,when oil-producing countries stopped their exports to Western Europe.
To make cycling safer and more appealing,the Dutch have over 40,000kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths,which are clearly marked,have smooth surfaces and include separate signs and lights for those on two wheels.
In many cities the bike lanes are completely separated from motorized traffic.And in many traffic situations cyclists are given priority (優(yōu)先權(quán)) over drivers.Sometimes,where space is limited and both must share,you can see signs showing an image of a cyclist with a car behind accompanied by the words"Bike Street:Cars are guests".
As young people aren't allowed to drive alone until they are 18,cycling offers Dutch teenagers an alternative form of freedom.The government also makes cycling skilled lessons a necessary part of the Dutch school curriculum(課程).
Bike parking  facilities  are common  in  the  country.Cyclists are
accommodated(容納)in the way motorists are elsewhere.Take Groningen for example,the city's central train station has underground parking for 10,000bikes.
For many Dutch people,bikes are trusty company for life's adventures.In that kind of relationship it is longevity((長壽) that matters---that's why many Dutch people ride older bikes.
29.What does the Dutch government do about teenagers'cycling?C
A.It will watch over teenagers who ride bikes.
B.It asks some teenagers to learn cycling skilled lessons.
C.It makes cycling skilled lessons become what teenagers must learn in all subjects.
D.It will help teenagers to solve the problems about cycling.
30.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A
A.Most vehicles the Dutch use are bikes.
B.There are more people than bikes in the Netherlands.
C.Most vehicles the Dutch use are buses.
D.The bike is the only vehicle for the Dutch to work.
31.Which of the following about cycling in the Netherlands is TRUE?D
A.Cycling is regarded as eco-friendly exercise.
B.Cycling is considered as a way to entertain.
C.Cycling is looked on as a way to lose weight.
D.Cycling is thought of as part of their everyday life.

16.It's long been known that dogs and cats,with their well developed sense of smell,can be trained to identify the chemicals released by human illnesses.In some cases,researchers have even trained household pets to detect or predict epilepsy(癲癇病).But what if we could put the sense into a microchip(芯片),allowing us to create a breathalyzer(呼吸分析器) for diseases?
For Dr.Andrew Koehl,the inventor of the microchip technology at the heart of this digital nose,the technology that will allow us to do just that is already here."We can detect down to parts per billion levels,"Koehl says."To give you a similarity that's equal to one drop in an Olympic size swimming pool."The sensor(感應器) identifies each chemical's make-up in the air.If the sensor is set to a certain level,it will set off an alarm.
Work continues to make it smaller and makes it able to enter the healthcare market.Within several years,the company hopes to develop it as a diagnostic(診斷) tool"What's amazing is that there really are chemicals on your breath that indicate illness.That's been shown though a number of studies and we can detect those,"he said."There have already been a number of research papers published suggesting we can detect many disease."
At the beginning,the technology had been developed for defense purposes.He said the terror caused by the events of September 11had got him thinking about the application of this type of sensor in safety check."Originally it was aimed at detecting things like explosives,poisonous chemicals and other terrors that might occur,"said Dr Koehl.
Eventually the sensor could become a part of many everyday instruments,warning users of which foods are going bad in the fridge or even the best moment to take the roast out of the microwave oven.
You could even,one day,have a digital nose that you could carry in your pocket."More recently we've been looking at user spaces so we're talking to a number of producers of mobile phones and mobile phone parts,"he said."We want to develop a module small enough to put into mobile devices(裝置) like phones."

24.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A.This type of sensor was designed to prevent disease at first
B.The digital nose can be put into mobile phones at present
C.Users might take the mobile devices with them in near future
D.The new invention has alreay entered the healthcare market
25.The underlined word"detect"(Paragraph1)is closest in meaning toB.
A.protect  B.discover  C.settle  D.remove
26.What does the passage mainly want to tell readers?D
A.Dogs and cats have a strong sense of smell.
B.A new sensor is used to identify chemicals.
C.Modern technology is developing very fast.
D.Digital noses on a microchip can smell diseases.

20.Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice(《傲慢與偏見》),Jane Austen's most famous work,might be updated,200years on.Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life,as would her characters.Here's my own suggestion.
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men,however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
"My dear husband,"said his hopeful wife one day,"have you heard that the local store,standing empty for so long,is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"
Her dull and indifferent (漠不關(guān)心的) husband replied that he had not."But it is,it is,"she replied excitedly.Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
"Don't you want to know her plans?"she cried with some impatience.
"Well,clearly you think it matters to your silly little head…so I'd better listen."
"Well,my dear,the rumour(傳言)is that she has already set up a series of successful businesses in northern England,though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me".She will move in herself next month."
"What is her name?"
"Bingley."
"Is she married or single?"
"What a question!And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys."
"How so?How can it possibly affect them?"
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be (注定) jobs going."
"Is that her point in settling here?Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place."
"Nonsense,my love,how little you've noticed the world has changed.She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,I'm told.She surely needs one of our boys!Perhaps you might give her a call."
"Me?No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks,after all.She may even offer you a job."
"Oh,that's not likely.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it,I think I'll go along all the same."
And Mrs.Bennet went along.That was 10years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
It would remain the case,of course,that Mrs.Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board,that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues,her bonus of a more"female"dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs.Still,she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos-and might even have hobnobbed (攀談) with influential figures.

32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.Austen was born 200years ago.
B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.
C.Austen's updated work gains popularity.
D.Austen's success lies in her wisdom.
33.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs BennetA.
A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
B.felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
C.was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
D.had a great curiosity about Bingley
34.In the eyes of Mrs.Bennet,Bingley surely needed one of their boys toC.
A.get married to              
B.help her move in
C.work for her                              
D.take over her store
35.What does the writer intend to tell us?D
A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.
B.Women have to pay a high price for success.
C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.
D.Sex discrimination (歧視) still exists nowadays.

10.Children have their own rules in playing games.They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores.They don't care much about who wins or loses,and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished.Yet,they like games that depend a lot on luck,so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared.They also enjoy games that move in stages,in which each stage,the choosing of leaders,the picking-up of sides,or the determining of which side shall start,is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting,and they often feel puzzled(迷惑的)at why their kids play such simple games again and again.However,it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons.He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person,and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid.He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn.He can be confident,too,in particular games,that it is his place to give orders,to pretend to be dead,to throw a ball actually at someone,or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.Everyone knows the rules,and more importantly,everyone plays according to the rules.Those rules may be childish,but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

32.What is true about children when they play games?A
A.They can stop playing any time they like.
B.They can test their personal abilities.
C.They want to pick a better team.
D.They don't need rules.
33.To become a leader in a game the child has toB.
A.play well
B.wait for his turn
C.be confident in himself
D.be popular among his playmates
34.Why does a child like playing games?A
A.Because he can be someone other than himself.
B.Because he can become popular among friends.
C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
35.The writer believes thatC.
A.children should make better rules for their games.
B.children should invite grown-ups to play with them.
C.children's games can do them a lot of good.
D.children play games without reasons.

17.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺騙)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
 For example,some might say,"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
This guy is a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought  $200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents says,"During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!"That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,"During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements,so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache."It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
29.We may infer that the author believes people shouldC.
A.buy lottery tickets if possible          
B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told      
D.not trust the Yucky Company
30.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
C  
A.one             B.Two              C.Three             D.Four
31.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.Using half truths is against the law.
B.Technically,half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D.Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.

14.How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(36)AMany people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(37)GSome people fight laziness by removing the temptations (誘惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(38)FComplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(39)DBe the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
(40)CEnough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
D.To fight family laziness,set an example.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.
G.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
