2．The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback．Modern holistic medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient，not just the disease．It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness．The most important influences on today's holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine，both of which promoted whole body health．
Holistic medicine usually combines diet，physical exercise and meditation，together with other alternative techniques such as massage（按摩）and acupuncture（針炙）．Herbal treatment，a practice of treating illness by using plants，is influenced by the writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine．Homeopathy（順勢療法）is one of the forms of holistic medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA．Homeopathy began in Germany in the early 1800s，when Samuel Hahnemann bescribed how very tiny doses（劑量）of a drug had an effect on his patients．According to Hahnemann，the more the drug was diluted（稀釋），the stronger its effects．The substance selected would produce similar effects to the disease itself if given in large doses．In the UK homeopathy is regarded as a non-traditional but just about acceptable treatment．
Meditation and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine．They were brought to Europe by Indian teachers who combined Indian Ayurvedic medicine with Western beliefs．Transcendental meditation（超脫靜坐）is one of the best known of these techniques．People repeat words inside their head to reach a state of deep relaxation．
The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient，not just the disease．Life-style，emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person's health．Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet，exercise and fresh air，all of which
contribute to health．Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments，so
that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them．One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure a doctor is reliable．To solve this，many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies．

A．curing a disease         B．herbal treatment

13．We Chinese are not big huggers．A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another．So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug，some of us feel awkward．Many questions go through our head．Where should I put my arms？What distance should I maintain？Should our chests touch？
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space．
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal，US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture，Americans do seem to be hugging more．From politicians to celebrities，hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike，whether they are willing or not；and the public has been quick to pick up the practice．
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability（親和力）like a good hug．US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England．Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast，telling her fans that"I will always，always，try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you．"
But not all are grateful to be hugged，even by the most influential and famous．To them，any hug is offensive if it's not sincere．Amanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate，says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet．For them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，compassion or affection．It's all part of a show．

28．Chinese people don't enjoy hugs becauseA．
A．they are conservative in physical touch
B．they don't know how to hug correctly
C．they think a handshake is the best way to convey friendship
D．they feel awkward to communicate with westerners
29．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase"pick up the practice"？B
A．Enjoy the medium touch culture．    B．Follow the trend．
C．Give hugs to enemies．              D．Resist physical touch．
30．Public figures like giving hugs toD．
A．obtain public support    B．show sincere friendship
C．express enthusiasm       D．win fellowship or affection
31．What can we learn from the last paragraph？D
A．People are grateful to hugs of any kind．
B．A hug is a gesture of friendship．
C．A famous person's hug is usually sincere．
D．An insincere hug is a part of show．

10．閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應的位置上（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）．
[1]The health of our children and young people matters to us，and it matters to them．We should help them understand what makes and keeps them healthy and what to do when they have worries，are not feeling so good，or are simply ill．
[2]While health promotion，the process of enabling people to manage and improve their own health，plays a key role．a(chǎn) key significant and early point of private contact with health services for a teenager is their GP．While GPs continue to improve in terms of their confidence and ability to make a child patient feel comfortable，it is not yet a guaranteed good experience for teenagers-they may not always．while talking to a doctor and some express feeling embarrassed while seeking advice from their GP
[3]Thus，two changes are required  Firstly，better professional development．GPs do have some training in child development but it is not enough After all，learning how to talk to 12-18 year olds，and even more importantly，how to listen to what they have to say and encourage them to speak up； and to be confident that they understand what is said to them before they leave，takes time  Secondly，we can include young people as the"teachers"here to help GPs learn how to interact effectively with their younger patients．GPs would benefit from feedback about their manners，the quality and simplicity of their communication and their way of explaining treatments and next steps-going beyond theory to learning by doing．
[4]In addition．children and young people are those with the time and energy to put into making our communities healthy．As enthusiastic learners，teenagers contribute through voluntary activities far more than adults and are deeply interested in the health services．And in doing so they are able to educate themselves in ways which can change lives．
76．What's the author's purpose of writing this passage？（no more than 15 words ）To give suggestions on how to help children/teenagers improve their health
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words．（no more than 3 words）
feel comfortable/be comfortable/be relaxed/take things easy/take it easy
78．What's the meaning of the underlined word"interact"in Paragraph 3？（no more than 3 words）communicate/exchange ideas/have a talk
79．Complete the following statement according to Paragraph 4．（no more than 5 words）Young people can make contributions to the health services byParticipating in/taking part in voluntary activities 
80．Du you think teenagers should participate in the health services？State your reasons．（no more than 20 words）yes，I do．Because health services are important to teenagers and the best way of promotion is learning by doing．

17．Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect．But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to﹩1.01per pack-smokers have jammed telephone"quit lines"across the country seeking to kick the habit．
This is not a surprise to public health advocates．They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive．Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase．
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message．Tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they  deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted．Yet the rate of taxation varies widely．
In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost﹩10.06at one drugstore Wednesday．In Charleston，S．C．，where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was﹩4.78．
The influence is obvious．
In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%，far below the national average．By comparison，26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky．Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records．
Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans"who choose to smoke．"
That's true．But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place．As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better．

61．The text is mainly aboutC．
A．the price of cigarettes                   B．the rate of teen smoking
C．the effect of tobacco tax increase        D．the differences in tobacco tax rate
62．What does the author think is a surprise？B
A．Teen smokers are price sensitive．
B．Some states still keep the tobacco tax low．
C．Tobacco taxes improve public health．
D．Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise．
63．The underlined word"deter"in Paragraph 3most probably meansA．
A．discourage       B．remove       C．benefit       D．free
64．Rogers'attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that ofD．
A．tolerance       B．unconcern       C．doubt       D．sympathy
65．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A
A．The new tax will be beneficial in the long run．
B．Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill．
C．Future generations will be hooked on smoking．

7．People are being lured（引誘） onto Facebook with the promise of a fun，free service，and don't realize that they're paying for it by giving up loads of personal information．Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data（資料） to advertisers that want to send targeted （目標的）messages．
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening．Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook，because people don't really know what their personal details are worth．
The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules．Early on，you could keep everything private．That was the great thing about Facebook-you could create your own little private network．Last year，the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city，your photo，your friends'names-were set，by default（默認），to be shared with everyone on the Internet．
According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to improve its service，and if people don't share information，they have a"less satisfying experience．"
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money．Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed．Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends？
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington．In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy．He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites．"I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，"Schrage admits．
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy，it's only the beginning，which is why I'm considering deactivating（撤銷） my account（賬號）．Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust．That is too high a price to pay．
71．What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph？C
A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users．
B．It makes money by putting on advertisements．
C．It earns money by selling its user's personal data
D．It provides a lot of information to its users
72．What does the author say about most Facebook users？B
A．They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook
B．They are unwilling to give up their personal information
C．They don't identify themselves when using website
D．They care very little about their personal information
73．Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage？A
A．To help its users make more friends
B．To obey the Federal guidelines
C．To make money by attracting more users
D．To offer better service to its users
74．What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for？C
A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
B．Setting rules for social-networking sites
C．Stopping sharing user's personal information
D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites
75．Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account？C
A．He is dissatisfied with its service．
B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy．
C．He doesn't want his personal data badly used．
D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes．

11．Most of the time，people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions．Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position．But nowadays，hats，especially women's hats，are much more than that．More exactly，hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars．What's more，people now consider many different features （特點）when choosing even a simple hat．Many designers point out that，when choosing the right hat，it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair，your height，and the shape of your face．

First of all，the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair．For instance，black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned．If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair，one will look as attractive as a summer flower．Second，the height of the hat is also an important point．Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns，just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height．Third，and most importantly，the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick．A small，gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face．However，women with big，round faces should choose a different style．

As the saying goes，"Fine feathers make fine birds．"A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features，so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public？
44．What does the underlined word"harsh"in Paragraph 1 probably mean？C
