To provide evidence for the passage.D. To attract the attention of the public.BTwo graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans (贷款) to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.The men, Ross Harper and Edward Moyse, set up the website last October as a way to get rid of the £50,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they advertise a different business by painting the brand’s name or logo on to their faces and upload the pictures to the homepage of , adding a link to the advertiser’s website and including a short piece of text about it. After they paint their faces and publish them on the website, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme park s to maximize their faces’ exposure. They hope more people will pay attention to the advertisements on their faces.At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they’re more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about £1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increases. For advertising space during the rest of April, they range between £250 and £750.Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said that she had heard of people tattooing (纹身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and unusual and attract attention. People are interested in this particular style of advertisement and would like to try what they advertise. But she is unsure how long it would last.At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces have written positive comments on the pair’s website. ―We had a three percent increase in website traffic on the very day and for two days more afterwards,‖ said one of the companies.39. At , you can ______.A. enjoy a good chat with your friendsB. buy everything you want to haveC. share experiences in doing businessD. get information on certain goods40. Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to ______ .A. offer their helpB. make more friendsC. show their facesD. raise more money41.

A toy is included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer, since the company will replace toys with books, and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strateg y of ―catching its customers young‖—a move that has paid off very well for the fast food company.Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent on caring for these health problems. On November 2, 2010, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law requiring that children’s meals sold in restaurants must meet certain nutritional sta ndards before they could be sold with toys, to overcome the problem of childhood obesity—in other words, the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that the fast-food company, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.43. The aim of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ______.A. give a surprise to the toy loversB. get readers’ attention to the articleC. call on readers to buy boxed mealsD. make readers think about the answer44. Books will be added into Happy Meals to______.A. introduce the use of the toysB. increase the cost of the mealsC. help kids learn about nutritionD. spread the message of fast food45. According to Paragraph 3, Happy Meals ______.A. have achieved the desired resultB. help the customers stay youngC. cost more money than ordinary mealsD. receive approval from health supporters46. What is the author’s opinion about Happy Meals?A. They bring much fun to children.B. They teach children a lot about nutrition.C. They do no actual good to children’s health.D. They are popular with the young and the old.DCyclingYou need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body. But what about the mind? It’s a question that has long challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state of emptying your mind.Dr. John Ratey thinks cycling increases ―the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm,‖ but also that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment, as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements, while the rest performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic (有氧的) demands. Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the ―complex‖ group did a lot better.There have been other interesting findings too. In 2003, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle, a bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease, a condition affecting the nervous system. The idea was to raise awareness of the disease, but to the surprise of both riders, the patient showed significant improvements. Dr. Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson’s patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.We don’t know how this happens, but there is more evidence of the link between Parkinson’s and cycling. A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe Parkinson’s. At first, we watch the patient trying to walk. He can barely stand and his hands shake uncontrollably. Then we see the man on a bicycle being supported by others. With a push, he’s off, cycling past cars with perfect balance. Doctors don’t fully understand this discrepancy either, but say that cycling may act as some sort of action that helped the patient’s brain.The science of cycling is incomplete, but perhaps the most remarkable thing for the everyday rider is that it can require no conscious focus at all. The mindlessness of cycling can not only make us happier, but also leave room for other thoughts. On the seat of my bike, I’ve solved problems at work and made life decisions, as, I’m sure, ha ve countless others.47. What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest?A. Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.B. The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.C. Lack of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.D. Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task.48. Studies of people with Parkinson’s show that ______.A. cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into itB. cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the diseaseC. not every person with Parkinson’s will benefit from cyclingD. social awareness is more important for Parkinson’s sufferers49. What does the underlined part ―this discrepancy‖ in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. W hy Parkinson’s affects some people and not others.B. W hy someone with Parkinson’s can cycle but not walk.C. How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinson’s.D. How a link b etween cycling and Parkinson’s was discovered.50. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.B. Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.C. Cycling has a significant influence on people’s mind.D. People may be more intelligent with the help of cycling.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
