Dayron Robles of Cube was disqualified(撤消资格) of his mark and the title in the men's 110m hurdles final for disruption( 中止，损坏 ) of the event after the Chinese team made an appeal on Monday night at the Daegu worlds.
In the breath-taking final, Robles and Chinese legend Liu Xiang were neighbors
in Lane 5 and Lane 6, respectively. After the starting gun fire, the two world's
fastest-ever hurdlers were almost running neck to neck in the first eight hurdles
and took the lead.
In the ninth hurdle, however, Robles' right trailing hand was seen hitting on
Liu's left hand. As a result, Liu's rhythm was disturbed a nd his blistering pace slowed down. Right before the tenth and final hurdle, Robles made further hand contact with Liu, who tripped on the hurdle.
An official with the IAAF told reporters that the Daegu track referee council
has decided to disqualify Robles' mark and it was unknown whether the Cuban team would appeal.
Before the disqualification,Robles won the 110m hurdles in 13.14seconds, followed by Jason Richardson with 13.16 seconds. Liu Xiang finished third in 13.27
seconds.
Robles, in a televised interview, admitted that he didn't like his technique in
Monday night's game and he was tangling with Liu over the last hurdle.
Liu said he “felt like someone touched my elbow and I lost my balance for a while but then I managed to stabilize it”．
A member of Liu's coach team had told Xinhua right after the game that the Chinese Athletics Association might appeal for the disruption.While Liu told reporters that he didn't care about the color of the medal.
Daegu on Monday night sees the first Championship clash of hurdling's current
big three—Robles, Liu Xiang and 2011's fastest man David Oliver of USA.
They are also the three fastest men in the history of the event—Robles, 12.87 seconds, Liu 12.88, Oliver 12.89. The 110m hurdle final is their first meeting in
a final at a global championship.

Are you media addicts who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobile—or would you easily survive?
Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if
they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and
Journalism at Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn't yet know the full findings.However, during the experiment, D r Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said:“They're
reporting withdrawal symptoms( 症状 ), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected. ” During their 24-hour painful experience, three of the experiment's
guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion( 扰乱 ) from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100
lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. El liot Day wrote: “Today, my whole morning routine was_thrown_up_into_the_air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers. ” From Caroline Scott, we read ：“ I didn't expec t it, but being prevented from the media
for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry
out than usual...I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us
all to, but it's not something I would like to do again ！” And Charlotte Gay wrote:
“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not
only is it a social tool, it's my main access point of communication.”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about
half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once.
And a recent study by Nielson found that on average, US teenagers send and receive
over 3,000 texts per month— that's about six texts per waking hour. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
文章粗心：两个小时不看电视，不上网不玩手机的话，你会有啥反响？看一下叫Unplugged 的全世界实验吧！
67． What's the purpose of the first paragraph?

C. the experiment was still going on
D. volunteers were allowed to take their laptops

由文章粗心可知，全文叙述的是一个叫Unplugged 的实验。

阅读以下资料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、 B、C和 D）中，选出最正确选项。

A
How often do you travel by plane?
How much electricity do you use? These days everyone is worried about the size
of their carbon footprint.In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footp rints smaller. But how much CO 2 are we responsible for?
A new book by Mike Berners Lee (a leading expert in carbon footprint) might be
able to help. How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at the
different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created: the ingredients, the electricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the
travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging. It ’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation.And it ’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.
But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lee’s calculations, it’s clear that a pint (568ml) of locally-brewed beer has a smaller
carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer
has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only
produces 300g of CO, but
the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint
of local beer
2
is better for the environment
than three cans of
cheap foreign
lager
from the
supermarket.
Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing
is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it
depends on what
you ’ve had to eat before.
To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food.
So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of
CO 2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it
’s 200g. In fact, bananas are
good in general because they don ’t need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.
So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for
a start, if you cycle, you d on ’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the
fewer traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three time s more CO 2 than cars
traveling
at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely
to go to a hospital.
And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!
So maybe it ’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana
and a pint of local beer, please.
1. According to Berners-Lee, which of A. A
pint of imported beer we drink.
C. The bacon we eat before a bike ride.
the following produces the most carbon dioxide ？ B. A pint of local beer we drink.
D. A banana we eat before a bike
ride.
2. Why are bananas good in general?
A. They don ’t need packaging.
C. They produces less CO
2
.
B. They provide energy for cycling.
D. They grow naturally.
3.
The underlined word “brewery ”
in
Paragraph
3 most
probably
means
“___________”.
A. one of the things from which beer
is made
B. a machine which makes beer
4. To make our carbon footprints smaller, we should often ___________.
A. calculate the amount of CO 2
B. cycle to work
C. drink more local beer
D. buy cheap things from the supermarkets
5. What ’s the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Carbon Footprint of Everything
B. Starting to Make Changes
C. Bikes, Beer and Bananas
D. How Big Is Your Carbon Footprint?

The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the
world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching
a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people
get sick becaus e they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families
from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For
instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and
insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is
necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking,
and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By
giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevent ion and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing
one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information
about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should
is too late.
However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant.After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect.In conclusion,we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.

(2012 ·南昌一模 )
One Tuesday evening in the beginning of the fall 1996 semester at Shippensburg
University, sirens( 警笛 ) sounded. These sirens were not in celebration; they were
a cry to the university that something was wrong. A house, only one block away, was
on fire. Nine of the university's students lived there.
From the minute the word got out that help was needed, it seemed like everyone
showed up. The victims of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for
the night. The very next day, everyone got_into_gear to do their part in helping them. Flyers( 小传单 )were posted with items that were immediately needed, just to get these students through this next couple of days. Boxes for donations and money jars were
placed in every residence hall( 学生宿舍 ) ．
As a residence director ， I went before the students in my hall to ask them to
do what they could. I knew that college students don't have much, but I asked them
to do their best: “Every little bit will help. ” I really didn't think they could
do much. I was proved wrong.
At the hall council meeting the night after the fire, my residents decided to
have a wing competition, where each wing of the building would team up to see who
could bring in the most donations. I announced that the wing who won would receive
a free pizza party.
Thursday evening we announced over the PA system that we were beginning the wing competition. Within minutes, the place exploded. The single large box that I had placed in the lobby ( 大厅 ) was over-flowing. We quickly grabbed more boxes, and we watched
in amazement as they, too, filled to the brim. Members of the resident assistant staff and I began to count the items. I was astonished by what I saw, and I was inspired
by these kids.
When we came to the final tally( 得分 ), the winners turned to me and announced
that they would like to donate their winnings as well. They wanted the victims of
the fire to have their pizza party.
Tears welled up in my eyes. I had watched these students jump to action, work
tirelessly and donate all that they could. And then, as if that were not enough, they handed over their reward. I was touched and so very proud of them.
