9.Cardiovascular disease(心血管疾。 is the main cause of early death in China and many developing countries.Studies show that it kills more than 17million people around the world every year.In the next 15years that number is expected to rise to 23million.These deaths are,for the most part,preventable.
At a recent agreement signing ceremony in Washington D.C.,Douglas Boyle made a speech.He said the partnership can help people live longer and healthier lives.
The agreement between the American Heart Association and China has three main parts.It calls for increasing opportunities for researchers,health care providers and public health specialists in the U.S.to meet with those in China.The agreement also seeks the sharing of cardiovascular research.And,finally,it calls for training in China of life-saving techniques such as CPR.
CPR can restart a stopped heart.It has helped lower death rates from heart disease in the United States by 30percent.Improvements in medical science and educational campaigns about preventing heart disease also played a part.
The question is,will a by-stander in China give CPR to a complete stranger having a heart attack?
Several media reports have suggested people in China may be resistant to helping strangers in medical emergencies.This could be because the person helping can be held legally responsible for damage to the injured person.
Some relevant reports once went viral on the web.In a very short time millions of people read and made comments on them.These incidents may be few,but they draw attention to a lacking area of China's legal system.China does not have a national Good Samaritan law.Good Samaritan laws protect people who aid others in medical need.

29.What do you know about cardiovascular disease from the text?B
A.It is incurable.
B.It is deadly.
C.It is caused by overweight.
D.It is universal in the U.S.
30.We can infer that American public health specialists willA.
A.have more chances to communicate with those in China
B.do more experiments in the lab
C.give training to the doctors around the world
D.share their personal experiences with the world
31.People in China might hesitate to carry out CPR to a stranger probably becauseC.
A.they haven't grasp this technique
B.CPR is difficult to carry out
C.they are afraid to get into trouble
D.CPR is not fit for the Chinese
32.Which of the following can probably replace the underlined words"went viral"in the last paragraph?D
A.Disappeared finally.
B.Found immediately.
C.Ignored completely.
D.Spread quickly.

19.Men and women are still treated unequally in the workplace.Women continue to earn less,on average,for the same performance,and they remain underrepresented in top jobs.Research has shown that both conscious and subconscious biases (偏見) contribute to this problem.But we've discovered another,subtler source of inequality:Women often don't get what they want and deserve because they don't ask for it.In three separate studies,we found that men are more likely than women to negotiate for what they want.This can be costly for companies-and it requires management intervention.
The first study found that the starting salaries of male MBAs who had recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon were 7.6%,or almost 4,000dollars,higher on average than those of female MBAs from the same program.That's because most of the women had simply accepted the employer's initial salary offer; in fact,only 7% had attempted to negotiate.But 57% of their male counterparts-or eight times as many men as women-had asked for more.
Another study tested this gender difference in the lab.Subjects were told that they would be observed playing a word game and that they would be paid between 3dollars and 10dollars for playing.After each subject completed the task,an experimenter thanked the participant and said,"Here's 3dollars.Is 3dollars OK?"For the men,it was not OK,and they said so.Their requests for more money exceeded the women's by nine to one.
The largest of the three studies surveyed several hundred people over the Internet,asking respondents about the most recent negotiations they'd attempted or initiated and when they expected to negotiate next.The study showed that men place themselves in negotiation situations much more often than women do and regard more of their interactions as potential negotiations.
There are several reasons accounting for the phenomenon.First,women often are socialized from an early age not to promote their own interests and to focus instead on the needs of others.The messages girls receive-from parents,teachers,other children,the media,and society in general-can be so powerful that when they grow up they may not realize that they've internalized this behavior,or they may realize it but not understand how it affects their willingness to negotiate.Women tend to assume that they will be recognized and rewarded for working hard and doing a good job.Unlike men,they haven't been taught that they can ask for more.

72.According to this passage,what causes the inequality in the workplace?D
A.social bias                               
B.women's poorer working ability
C.women's worse academic background        
D.women's less negotiating
73.Which can be the result of the following survey,according to Para 4?When do you expect to negotiate next?A

74.Which of the following statements is not true?D 
A.Women accept the employer's initial salary offer willingly.
B.Men tend to ask for more money than woman.
C.Women care more about other's interest instead of themselves'.
D.Men believe that the better they work,the better they're paid.
75.What will be discussed in the following paragraph?C
A.The suggestions given to women.
B.The warnings to men.
C.Another reason for women's not asking.
D.Another reason for men's asking.

20.Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself?Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults prefer to catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health,Britain's largest health charity.The results were very astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed (調(diào)查) said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of the 654respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey,medical director of Nuffield Health,said;"People need to get fitter,not only for themselves but also for their families,friends and evidently their pets.If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basics of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was ashamed as the most lazy city in the UK,with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise,followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

68.From the passage we can learn thatA.
A.Birmingham is second to Glasgow in laziness
B.half of the parents don't care enough for children
C.one in six people in the UK don't take exercise
D.British people are more lazy than those in other countries
69.The report suggests that some pre-school children in the UK are obese becauseD
A.they have a big appetite
B.they have a sweet tooth
C.their parents often work too hard
D.their parents seldom play with them
70.According to the passage,overweight mightA.
A.contribute to heart disease
B.result from some heart attack
C.be common in developed areas
D.not be controlled in a short time.

17.New research shows that sheep are clever
People often make jokes about how dull sheep are,but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think.Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (嚙齒動物).Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in,and some may even be able to plan ahead.
Young fish prefer noisy neighbors
A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors!Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live.The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments.The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs,complete with noisy animals!The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival,choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17species of butterflies found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20years.The information collected from 3,000sites across 15countries shows it may be caused by the loss of grasslands covered with flowers.You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.

21.According to the first paragraph,we may infer that sheepB.
A.a(chǎn)re less clever than rodents 
B.can find their home
C.can read maps                  
D.a(chǎn)re good planners

4.Whether in the home or the workplace,social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's"Oshbot"robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees."We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,"said Breazeal.

33.How are social robots different from household robots?B
A.They can control their emotions.
B.They are more like humans.
C.They do the normal housework.
D.They respond to users more slowly.
34.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots willB.
A.train employees
B.be our workmates
C.improve technologies
D.take the place of workers
35.What does the passage mainly present?D
A.A new design idea of household robots.
B.Marketing strategies for social robots.
C.Information on household robots.
D.An introduction to social robots.

14.As we grow old,we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to.Yet re-readers are everywhere around us.For certain fans,re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually.One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him,despite his having read it over 50times.
New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading.Journalist Rebacca Mead,a long-time Englishwoman in New York,first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17.Since then,she has read it again every five years.With each re-reading,it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life,it has resonated (引起共鳴) differently.Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeated reading,but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines.These kinds of books grow with us.
Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading.Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading,we are concerned with the"what"and the"why".Second time round,we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express.As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained,returning to a book"brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers."
It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we're fond of making notes on the pages).These texts can carry us back to a time and place,and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.We're changed not only by living experience but also by reading experience.More than the movie director,the writer calls upon our imaginations,using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature.
Re-reading a book takes up more time,but as Mead confirms,the rewards make it extremely worthwhile.
28.The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1mainly toB.
A.a(chǎn)ttract the attention of readers          
B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.provide some background information   
D.show the similarity between re-readers
29.The underlined expression"crack their spines"in Paragraph 2refers toB.
A.recite them     
B.re-read them      
C.recall them     
D.retell them
30.It can be learned from the passage thatC.
A.reading benefits people both mentally and physically
B.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading
C.we know ourselves better through re-reading experience
D.writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do
31.The purpose of the passage is toC.
A.call on different understandings of old books
B.focus on the mental health benefits of reading
C.bring awareness to the significance of re-reading
D.introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books.

1.Parents'meetings may be your worst nightmare (噩夢).However,that's not always the case.The parents'meeting we had after our mid-term examinations,for instance,couldn't have been more surprising.
Sitting in our chairs next to our parents,we felt like we were on pins and needles,expecting a final outburst when they examined our grades and rankings.However,our teacher came to our rescue.He told our parents the stress we faced in our daily school lives and how hard we had worked for the college entrance examination."No matter the score,they all studied very hard and each one of them has made progress.They deserve encouragement rather than blame,"he said.When they heard these words,many parents nodded,their anger gone.Well,to be honest,we hadn't worked that hard before the meeting,but we decided we would try our best to live up to our teacher's expectations after it.
Another highlight of this parents'meeting was when our parents read our letters that we had written in advance.In our daily lives,we are so busy doing homework and preparing for exams that we hardly have time to communicate with our parents.Yet this parents'meeting gave us an opportunity to show our appreciation.In the letters,we expressed our love for them and gratitude for everything they had done for us.Many parents burst into tears after reading their children's letters.
So you see,our parents'meetings may not be as bad as we think.They could be opportunities to bring us closer to our parents.
21.What does the underlined phrase"on pins and needles"(in Para 2)mean?A
A.Restless.
B.Proud.
C.Curious.
D.Sleepy.
22.How did many parents feel before they heard the teacher's words?D
A.Excited.
B.Stressful.
C.Disappointed.
D.Angry.
23.Who was moved most during the meeting?B
A.Students.
B.Parents.
C.Our teacher.
D.Our headmaster.
24.Which of the following statements is TRUE?D
A.The parents will try to live up to the teacher's expectations.
B.The parent meeting brought the teacher and our parents closer.
C.The parent meeting was held after the college entrance examination.
D.The teacher showed great concern and understanding for the students.

18.If you want to pay a visit to Iceland,you'll enter a whole new region of experience.You'll discover original nature as you've never seen it before.The freedom to wander in the city or the wilds as you please is the key to the Iceland experience.
Reykjavik,the capital of Iceland,is just a part of the Icelandic experience with its midnight sun or the magical landscapes mixed with ice and fire.Reykjavik has a population of around 170,000and offers an interesting mix of culture and local village roots.
Old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland's first settler to make his home in Reykjavik.He named the place Reykjavik (Steamy Bay)after the geothermal(地?zé)幔﹕team he saw,which today heats homes and outdoor swimming pools throughout the city,a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air very fresh,clean and clear.
