This year’s winner is a little different. Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert hall s. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work the te mporary (暂时的) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters .Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildin gs out of paper — cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually te sted the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surpris ed by what he had discovered. He has used them to build tem porary buildings in Japan, Haiti, and elsewhere.“After a disaster, the building material is going to be more ex pensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a b uilding material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the mate rial easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earth quake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t n eed heavy machines to work with them.”Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from roll s of paper in his office.Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. be fore moving back to to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temp orary buildings have become permanent (永久的), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.60.

He builds special houses for special groups of people.62. Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.D. Because they are common and hard to break.63. What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?A. A new way of building houses by using wood.B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material. CMy name is Jack. I am eighteen years old and next fall I will g o to college. So far I have not done any things that are really i nteresting. I have not seen a natural wonder of the world. I ha ve not thought up any amazing ideas. I have not met anyone f amous. I have not even swum in the Pacific Ocean.Some weeks ago, I read an article written by a teenager. He h as cancer and doesn’t have many days left. He is traveling ar ound the world to do what he really wants to do before he die s. What he wrote made me realize that I need to go out and e xperience life. It is not like I am unhappy with my life now. I ju st think there is much more to see and do outside my home a nd school.Mahatma Gandhi said, “Learn as if you were to live forever. Li ve as if you were to die tomorrow.” This quote makes me hav e a strong desire (渴望) to experience a more exciting life. The life given us by nat ure is short, but the memory of a life well spent lasts forever. Ihope that when I look back on my life many years from now, I will be able to say, “I saw that, I did that, and I was a part of t hat.” Now I do not know what “that” is, but if it is something sp ecial enough to remember fifty, sixty, or seventy years later, I will be happy to do it.64. In Para. 1, the author wants to show that .A. he wants to have a change in collegeB. he lives a very boring life every dayC. he is just like any other young man in the worldD. he hasn’t done anything exciting in his life so far65. What do we know about the teenager mentioned in Para. 2?A. He is a popular writer.B. He has passed away.C. He wants to make good use of his remaining days.D. He is interested in nothing now because of his cancer.66. What does the author want to tell us?A. We should learn well about our life.B. We should quit school for a better life.C. We should spend every day studying.D. We should live every day to its fullest.DWe now only sleep for six hours and 41 minutes each night a nd half of us have no chance of a weekend lie-in, a new study shows. And it seems even during the week, w e are struggling to get enough shut-eye.It is said that two-thirds of us are sleeping for only six hours and 27 minutes eve ry night, one hour and 33 minutes shorter than the normal dail y amount (总额) of sleep — eight hours. More than 27 percent are getting l ess sleep than they did a year ago. Instead of a weekend lie-in, most people will choose 11 minutes of extra snooze button (睡眠键) time, which could be bad for health. 68 percent now use th eir mobile phone to wake them up every morning. Four out of ten adults say they set their wake-up call earlier than needed, then hit the snooze button on their mobile phones twice for an 11 minutes’ rest, in order to make their bodies feel like they have had more sleep.Professor Stevie Williams said, “Setting your alarm clock muc h earlier and continually pressing the snooze button actually makes you feel even weaker after a night’s sleep. Napping in this way can make you miss out on the important REM sleep,which happens just before you wake up. And it is necessary f or you to use the weekend to catch up on the sleep debt durin g the week.”A third of adults are kept awake at night because of money w orries, a quarter can’t fall asleep due to family problems, and j ust under one-fifth worry about work stresses. Being short of sleep is extrem ely harmful to a person’s heath and well-being. But we have to stop treating sleep as a luxury (奢侈品), and realize that it is necessary to get eight hours of sleep every night.67. What can we know about REM sleep?A. We should avoid it before we wake up each day.B. It happens before we wake up and is good for our health.C. It’s useless to enjoy this stage of sleep before we wake up.D. It can do harm to our health as it makes us wake up earlier .68. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?A. To show what keeps us awake.B. To tell us why we need to treat sleep seriously.C. To give us some tips on how to get a sound sleep.D. To offer some evidence that sleep is a kind of luxury.69. The author writes the passage in order to tell us that we s hould .A. avoid working late into the nightB. get enough sleep and know its importanceC. try to keep a balance between family and workD. replace the unhealthy lifestyle with a healthy one70. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage ?A. What an eight-hour sleep meansB. Why people need to sleep every dayC. How to get a sound sleepD. Enough sleep is very importantEAre African wild dogs really dogs? What’s the difference betw een African wild dogs and the dogs we know as pets? For on e thing, African wild dogs, which live in Africa, only have four t oes, while domestic (驯养的) dogs and wolves have five. But you won’t want to count fo r yourself, because they are truly wild animals.“Wild dogs are not somebody’s domestic dogs that ran away and didn’t come back, although some people used to think tha t,” explains Dr. McNutt, who studies these animals at Wild Do g Research Camp in the African country of . “They are actuall y Africa’s wolves, and just like wolves, they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are sup posed to do — find the food they need to survive and feed the ir babies.” In fact, they travel so far that researchers have to u se radio collars (颈圈) to keep track of them. The collars send out radio signals t hat tell people where the dogs are. No two wild dogs have the same pattern of coats, so it is easy to tell them apart. African wild dogs are smart and sociable, like pet dogs. Adult dogs, male and female, are willing to take good care of young ones.Millions of domestic dogs live on the planet, but there are pro bably fewer than 6,000 African wild dogs left. Humans hunt th em, and farmers who don’t want them to go after cows and sh eep poison them. Humans are also destroying the wild, natura l habitat (栖息地) they need to survive in. Fortunately, today more farmers are finding other ways to protect their cows and sheep from Afri can wild dogs instead of killing the animals.71. Which of the following can explain why African wild dogs a re different from domestic dogs?A. African dogs can live longer than domestic dogs.B. African dogs are much bigger in size than domestic dogs.C. African dogs have fewer toes than domestic dogs.D. African dogs are much more dangerous than domestic dog s.72. In Dr. McNutt’s view, African wild dogs .A. generally are not used to living in groupsB. can be trained as pet dogsC. actually are missing domestic dogsD. are a kind of wolves73. What’s the researchers’ purpose of using radio collars?A. To tell African wild dogs apart from other dogs.B. To play games with African wild dogs.C. To know where African wild dogs go.D. To prevent African wild dogs from traveling too far.74. What suggestion does the author give in the last paragraph?A. African wild dogs should be protected instead of being kille d.B. Farmers should use domestic dogs to fight against wild do gs.C. Farmers should take responsibility for feeding African wild dogs.D. African wild dogs should be used to protect farmers’ cows and sheep.75. Which of the following can be used as the title of the pass age?A. How to keep wild dogsB. An introduction to African wild dogsC. How to train domestic dogsD. Differences between domestic dogs and wild dogs第三部分写作(共两节, 满分35分)第一节任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

She was worried that the amount would be so large that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it. However, when she looked at the bill, she found words on the side of the bill. They were, “Paid in full witha glass of milk.”1. The woman came to a big city because .A. she was ill and no local doctors could help herB. she was invited by a group of specialists to a studyC. she wanted to visit the poor boy whom she had helpedD. her rare disease could only be dealt with by Dr. Howard Kelly2. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. the rest of her lifeB. a glass of milkC. her illnessD. the bill for her treatment3. What can we know about Howard Kelly according to the passage?A. He earned a lot of money.B. He was an experienced doctor.C. He opened his own hospital in the city.D. He became the best friend of the woman.BWhat if you had only three minutes to grab whatever you could take from your home and the rest would be lost forever? What would you take?As the disasters in Japan changed from the earthquakes and tsunamis (海啸) to nuclear radiation (核辐射),many people that have been forced to leave their homes are facing the fact that they may not be able to return for a long time.With this in mind, let‟s discuss the value of a Bug Out Bag. This bag is a collection of goods t hat you would need to survive (生存) if you have to escape from your home with no shelter, food or water during the unexpected situations.A good B.O.B. should include things that are needed for life:● A sleeping bag, or at least a blanket.● Drinking wate r.● High-calorie, no-cook foods like protein bars, peanut butter, etc.● First-aid supplies.● Fire-starting methods, and a small pot to boil water or cook.● A few basic tools like a knife, some rope, etc.● Flashlight with extra batteries.● Cash.● A d igital backup (备份) of all your important documents and family treasures.You could keep a B.O.B. by the front door, or even have several bags at home, at the office and in your car. This might seem like more than needed to some of you, but just imagine what a difference this kind of preparation would have made to the people of Japan. Then think of the difference a B.O.B. will make if those disasters happen to you.4. The author asks the questions in the first paragraph to .A. test the readers‟ common s enseB. show the importance of a B.O.BC. attract the readers‟ interestD. encourage the readers to ask questions5. What is the main purpose of preparing a B.O.B?A. To find out the causes of disasters.B. To help people protect their treasures.C. To prevent disasters from happening.D. To help people survive unexpected disasters.6. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. aB.O.B. should be as light as possibleB. we can prepare more than one B.O.BC. a B.O.B. is only necessary for the JapaneseD. a B.O.B. should contain all the valuable things7. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. What aB.O.B. isB. How to escape from disastersC. Preparations for outdoor lifeD. Dangerous disasters on the earthCFor one week, books will be everywhere in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. That‟s because from May 3 to 10, the city will become a “Reading Town”. It‟s a project to grow a society in which everyone has an equal chance to become a lifelong reader.During the special reading week, the 35,000 people there will have reading made into every part of their lives through several amazing events, accor ding to the Reading Town website. For example, the town‟s popular Crescent Park will set up a number of reading corners with chairs, blankets and of course books and magazines. People are encouraged to drop by the park and get a book.When someone orders a pizza that week, they‟ll get a poem along with their pepperoni pie. All of the babies born at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital during the city‟s reading week will be given a gift bag with books sent by Canadian publishers.There will be a “Caught Reading” con test on Twitter. People can take a photo of someone who is reading and post it on Twitter for a chance to win prizes.On the town‟s Main Street, a short story by Margaret Atwood will be posted page by page in shop windows so people walking along can read Death by Landscape.Even the town-criers (公告传报员) will be getting in on the act. During the reading week, instead of crying out the latest news, they will read popular poems. Moose Jaw was selected for the program because it has an interesting books, music and arts scene (现场), according to the Reading Town website.8.

The reading week is held in Moose Jaw in order to .A. provide people with free booksB. introduce people to lots of latest booksC. help people get into the habit of readingD. make Moose Jaw a well-known reading cityDExperts say with just a little bit of planning and creativity (创造力), parents can make their children eat healthy foods, and their children will develop healthy eating habits.A trip to the grocery store with 15-year-old Zarea Adams is an education on healthy eating. She learned her healthy ways at Children‟s Healthcare of Atlanta‟s Camp Strong 4 Life. She first attended the camp as an overweight 12-year-old.“By going to the camp, they teach you new habits and show you how much sugar or how much fat is in something. It changes the way you think,” Adams said.Change isn‟t always easy. For parents who want to change their kids‟ eating habits, Professor Josh Spitalnik said, “Don‟t be afraid to fail. The best way to make changes is to make small steps in which you make mistakes and learn lessons.”One of those lessons could be patience. Dietitian (营养学家) Trisha Hardy stressed, “It takes 10 to 20 times for kids to like a new food. So one of the things is: don‟t give up.”Experts said a healthy plate is one that is half fruits and vegetables. Parents should also watch what their children drink. Most pa rents know soda water is full of sugar, but don‟t realize sports drinks and fruit juices are as well. It‟s best to drink water.“At the camp, they teach you how to make flavored water. And that‟s by using fresh fruit and adding it to your water. I like st rawberries, watermelon and pineapple,” Adams said.Adams is proof that exercise and healthy eating lead to a strong future for a child. “I actually feel healthier and more confident about myself,” said Adams.12. The passage mainly talks about .A. healthy eating for kidsB. how to form good eating habitsC. the importance of good habitsD. the Camp Strong 4 Life13. According to the passage, we can know that Adams .A. succeeded in losing weight in the campB. started to change her living habit on purposeC. had developed her love for fruits and vegetablesD. refused to take in any sugar and fat after going to the camp14. What should parents do to change their kids‟ eating habits?① Try to be as patient as possible.② Be creative and good at making plans.③ Send their kids to the Camp Strong 4 Life.④Keep a watch on their kids‟ food and drink.⑤ Avoid providing their kids with too much food high in sugar.A. ①④⑤B. ①②④C. ①②④⑤D. ②③④⑤15. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. it is hard for all parents to change their kids‟ eating habitsB. all of the grocery stores should tell parents what to buy for their kidsC. it may take a long time for some parents to change their kids‟ eating habitsD. kids should be provided with their favorite food and drink to keep healthy第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

14-15学年新课标高一上学期期中测试ⅡClass: Name: Marks: 满分（120）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AThere is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In her grief (悲痛), she went to the holy man (圣人) and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”Instead of sending her away or saying a few words to comfort her, the holy man said to her, “Bring me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in search of that magical seed.She first came to a beautiful castle, knocked at the door, and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.”They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place.” And then they began to describe all the bad things that had recently happened to them.The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these unfortunate people than I?” So she stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, in hotels or in other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.The woman became so busy helping others to deal with their sorrows that she finally let go of her own. She would later come to understand that it was the search for the magical mustard seed that drove away her suffering.1. Leaving the holy man, the woman .A. was full of hopeB. was filled with sadnessC. was determined to try againD. became discouraged2. The “magical seed” refers to “”.A. a cure for sorrowB. being open to othersC. showing respect to othersD. a home that has never known sorrow3. We can learn from the passage that .A. the holy man was playing a trick on the womanB. the woman didn’t go to the right place for the seedC. a mustard seed would bring the woman’s son back to lifeD. the woman was curing herself of sorrow while looking for the seed4. What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?A. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.B. Time passed cannot be called back again.C. You can’t feel happy unless comparing with others.D. You can’t expect to know the result until you have tried.B5. Whom would the magazine Zootles most probably attract?A. Young kids who like simple rhymes.B. Young kids who are fond of animals.C. Children who love interesting stories.D. Teenagers who want to gain basic skills.6. What do we know about the magazine Thomas & Friends?A. It mainly tells young kids about friendship.B. It cannot help children who want activities.C. It tells stories that happen in a magical world.D. It publishes stories written by Thomas and his friends.7. If a parent wants his/her kids to know different cultures, he/she should buy .A. ZoobiesB. BabybugC. Highlights High FiveD. National Geographic Little Kids8. We can infer that the activities, puzzles and non-fiction given in Highlights High Five are aimed at helping kids .a. know how to reasonb. solve problems betterc. find their favorite animalsd. express themselves clearlye. recognize colors, shapes and sizesA. abdB. bcdC. abcD. cdeCReading is important, but getting kids to enjoy reading can be quite difficult. There are two steps you can take to help kids to enjoy reading. Firstly you need to find something they actually want to read. Then, you need to get them to read school books, but this is not the place to start.So how do you choose something for your kids to read? You have to find out what your kids enjoy. It doesn’t matter what you buy, so long as your kids will find it interesting. A book given as a reward (奖励) will often be more enjoyed by kids. If your kids have just done well at something, this is a good time to give them a new book.The second thing you need to consider is where your kids are going to read. I strongly suggest creating a “reading space” in their room and also a time for them to read on their own, ideally just before bed time.There is another way to really speed up your kids’ reading. It is to get them writing. When you set up their “reading space”, be sure to give them a diary and a pen. Just by writing a few sentences each day they will improve their skills.So to successfully get your kids to enjoy reading you need to create them a space in which they read, give them something fun to read, and improve their skills through writing. Before you know it, their abilities will have moved forward and you will be amazed at their progress. Of course, remember all the time to reward good reading with more books.9. The author wrote this passage to .A. show us how to speed up our readingB. tell us the benefits of reading for kidsC. give us some tips on how to get kids to enjoy readingD. give us examples of how to choose proper books for kids10. Whom is this passage intended for?A. Teachers.B. Kids.C. Parents.D. Workers.11. Which of the following methods will most probably get kids to value their books?A. Giving them books as a reward.B. Reading books together with them.C. Choosing books they like.D. Giving them a reading space.DResearchers found that a “name pronunciation effect” played an important role in how people were perceived (感知) by others. They concluded that the easier a person’s name was to say, the better their successwas in the workplace and the quicker career advancement (提升) they enjoyed. Their study also found that a simple name improved people’s ability to make new fr iends.Dr. Simon Laham, who led the study, said people with simple names were generally judged more positively (积极地). “The effect is not because of the length of a name or how foreign-sounding or unusual it is, but rather how easy it is to pronounce,” he said.In their study the team studied the way names can influence a person’s impressions and decision making. They looked at lots of names of 500 university student volunteers from British, Asian, and European backgrounds and a field of 500 lawyers in America. The team found that people with more pronounceable names were more likely to achieve success. They found that American lawyers with easier sounding names got career advancement faster within their law firms. Names including Sherman, Jenkins, Benson, and Angus ranked among the easiest to pronounce, while Farquharson and Loughnane and European names such as Leszczynska were found to be difficult to pronounce. They concluded that a simple name was the key to success.Dr. Laham said the results could have important implications (意义) for how managers dealt with bias (偏见). “It’s important to treat the biases that shape our choices and judgments about others,” he said. “It may help remove bias, leading to fairer, more objective treatment of others.”12. What factor of a name plays the key role in deciding its effect?A. The length of the name.B. The pronunciation of the name.C. The meaning of the name.D. Whether the name is unusual or not.13. The underlined part “pronounceable names” in Para. 3 refers to names that .A. can be spelled easilyB. can’t be pronounced easilyC. can be pronounced without difficultyD. sound like foreign names14. Which of the following would Dr. Laham most probably agree with?A. People should use simple names to avoid biases.B. Foreign names are considered to be hard to pronounce.C. The name effect can be found only in English-speaking countries.D. The study can help people treat those with hard-to-say names more fairly.15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Having an easy-to-say name will help you get quicker career advancement.B. People with hard-to-say names should struggle for fairer treatment.C. People with hard-to-say names should avoid unfair treatment from others.D. The importance of changing hard-to-say names to easy-to-say ones.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and drives a small car, but he is very happy.Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world by sending them each $ 200 a month.

The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, ―I am just doing my job!‖Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world--the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins (海豚) for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dol phins. ―We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,‖ she said.Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example : karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers.63.

Which of the following is TRUE about Al Gehrke?A. He does his job in high places very well.B. He cleans 30 windows each night.C. People admire him for his job.D. He works 18 hours each day.65.

AWhen I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and ma de the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her l ove towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love yo u!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper na pkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kid s were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they we re teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Ein stein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writ es me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about b eing green.Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share st ories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. M aura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas. We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home . Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch i s going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “Where’s Gr andpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” h e said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”21. When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.A. movedB. awkwardC. proudD. nervous22. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?A. Words of love.B. Pictures of flowers.C. Drawings of their favorite animals.D. Famous words of wisdom23. It can be inferred that ________.A. the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins.B. the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.C. the author’s husband is an environmentalist.D. the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes .24. What’s the best title for the text?A. Old generation’s way of expressing love.B. Different bra nds of lunch box notes.C. Lunches packed with love.D. Some interesting family traditions.BLiving near the beach may come with an extra perk (利益): better health. A new study analyzed information from mor e than 48 million people in and found that the nearer they live d to the coast, the more likely people were to report good heal th within the past year.Living near the coast may be associated with better health be cause the seaside environment reduces stress, the researche rs said. They pointed to another British study that found that p eople who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.The difference from living near the coast was relatively small. But a small effect, when applied to an entire population, can h ave a substantial impact on public health, said study research er Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistr y in , .However, it’s too soon to advise people to hit the beach to im prove health, Wheeler said. The study only found an associati on, not a cause-effect link, and it’s possible that other factors could explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthie r, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired lo cations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon know n as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the associat ion between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.Because the study looked at only —an island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of th e coast—it’s not clear whether the findings would apply to other populat ions. Far from , a health expert not involved in the study said t hat while the British research certainly doesn’t prove that peo ple’s health and the place they live are linked, it’s possible tha t proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.If future studies confirm the results, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health . Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, f or instance.25. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. people are encouraged to move to the coastB. people living near the sea may be healthier.C. people pay increasingly attention to healthD. people are worried about residential environment26. According to the researchers, living near the sea ______.A. doesn’t nearly affect the British populationB. ca n cure some difficult diseases in a wayC. can help get over one’s stressD. means freeing from sadness or troubles27. What Ben Wheeler said means ______.A. the British public health is decreasingB. concrete evidence favors life near the seaC. wealthier people are likely to be healthierD. exact reasons are proposed for further research28. What does the underlined word “proximity” in the passage mean?A. being closeB. being distantC. being similarD. being oppositeCAs we know, Julian Beever is an international well-known sidewalk chalk artist whose drawings have appeared o n the streets of London, Buenos Aires, , , and countless other cities around the world. Beever creates drawings that look co mpletely three- dimensional when seen from the correct angle .Now, in his book, Pavement chalk artist: The three-dimensional drawings of Julian Beever, the artist shares some of his most fascinating and humorous pieces, Here are a few examples you’ll find in the book.●Philadelphia eagleIn Pennsylvania, Beever created “eagle ”a huge drawing with an eagle landingsuccessfully on an American national flag.●Meeting Mr. Frog“Meeting Mr. Frog” was created in , , and is about a realistic-looking frog sitting on a Lily pad.●Swimming pool in the high streetMy personal favorite is “Swimming pool inthe high street” from , which is abouta woman relaxing in a swimming pool-----a swimmingpool sunk into the middle of the street, that is!Along with an introduction about his background, Beever inclu des a description of the techniques he used and the challenge s he overcame with every drawing. He shares information abo ut his time at home in the . and abroad; there is a fun story to back up each piece of art.Beever’s artwork is truly jaw drooping. You’re sure to spend a ges turning the leaves back and forth, surprised at how one m an can create what looks like a three-dimensional design on a flat surface with just a bit of chalk. Fr om animals to superheroes to famous buildings, the paintings are a wonder to lay eyes on.＊Payment chalk artist: The three-dimensional drawings of Julian Beever is surely worth a look. And another look. This 112-page hardcover book is available now from Firefly Books at a list price of $ 29.95What do we know about the book mentioned in the text?A. It has a paper cover.B. It hasn’t been publ ished.C. It includes some drawing techniques.D. It’s a biography of Julian Beever.30. What does the underlined part “ jaw dropping” most proba bly mean?A. Romantic.B. Amazing.C. FrighteningD. Depre ssing.31. We can infer that the text is ______.A. a book review.B. a description of st reet art.C. an advertisement for a new book.D. an introducti on to an artist.DPeople are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service with out realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make mone y by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targete d messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if t hey know what the company is up to, they still have no idea w hat they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really k now what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps ch anging the rules. Early on, you 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, yo ur friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making chang es 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 mak e more money. Its original business model, which involved sel ling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting wit h their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water i n . In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privac y policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated tha t 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 o ur privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by th e idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t kn ow. That’s too high a price to pay.32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragrap h?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It provides loads of information to its users.D. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.33. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To follo w the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectivity.D. To expa nd its scope of business.34. What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.C. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.D. Formulating(制订) regulations for social-networking sites..35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account ?A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.B. He doe sn’t want his personal data abused.C. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下列短文内容，从文章后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。
