第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Strange Baby-Naming Laws
Germany Parents are banned by law from using last names and the names of objects and products as first names. A child’s first name must clearly indicate his or her sex, and all names must be approved by the office of vital statistics in the area in which the child was born.
Iceland The country’s naming committee consults the National Register of Persons to determine if a name is acceptable. If parents want to go off-list, they must apply for approval and pay a fee, and the name must contain only letters in the Icelandic alphabet.
New Zealand The country’s Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act of 1995 prohibits parents from choosing a name that “ might cause offense to a reasonable person; is unreasonably long; or is, includes, or resembles an official title or rank,” including, apparently, Adolf Hitler and Yeah Detroit—both names recently rejected.
Denmark If Danish parents prefer a moniker not on the list of 7,000 preapproved baby names, they must get permission from local church and government officials. Fifteen to 20 percent of the 1,100 reviewed names—including creative spellings of common names, last names as first names, and unusual names—are rejected each year.
21. You can tell whether a baby is a girl or a boy according to the first name in _____.
A. Germany
B. New Zealand
C. Iceland
D.Denmark
22. In Iceland, the names should _____.
A. be approved by the office of vital statistics.
B. be accepted by the National Register of Persons.
C. contain only letters in the Roman alphabet.
D. be paid for some money.
23. Which name is accepted in New Zealand?
A. Bin Laden
B. Talula Does The Hula
C. John Smith
D. Keenan Got Lucky
24. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Parents should pay a fee for babies’ names if the names are rejected.
B. Each year about 150-200 reviewed names are rejected in Denmark.
C. Adolf Hitler is banned in Iceland.
D. Danish babies’ names should be on the list if parents can’t get t he permission.
What is so amazing about giving blood?
The National Blood Service, which covers all of England and North Wales, needs nearly two and a half million blood donations each year. When you give blood, you’ll be doing one of the most amazing things anybody could dream of — saving a life.
___________________________
All types of blood are needed —not just rare ones. In fact, the commoner the blood type, the more are needed. So even if your blood is one of the most common types —group O for example —you can be sure that by donating three times a year, you really are doing something amazing.
What is the donation process?
The donation will last about an hour in all. When you arrive, you will be asked a few questions about your health. Then a drop of blood will be taken and tested just to make sure you’re not anemic(贫血). If all is well, your donation will be taken.
This only takes about ten minutes, during which time 470ml of blood will be collected. Most people hardly feel a thing. After a short rest, a drink and biscuits, you’ll be up and ready to go. All equipment used in the collection of your blood is new and is never reused, so you don’t have to worry about risks to your health in the collection of your blood.
Who can become a blood donor?
Becoming a blood donor really is very simple. As long as you’re in good h ealth and aged between 17 and 60, you can become a blood donor. If you would like more information or advice, or you want to become a blood donor, ring the donor helpline on 0845 7711. The donor helpline is open 24 hours a day — every day of the year.
25. Which is the subtitle (副标题) of Paragraph 2?
A. Why should you donate blood?
B.What should you consider before donation?
C. What types of blood are needed?
D. How many times a year can you donate blood?
26. Before giving blood, you will ________.
A. take a blood test
B. wait for one day
C. fill in a form
D.rest for a while
27. What does the passage tell us about the donation process?
A. It takes many hours.
B. It’s done on computer.
C. It doesn’t need equipment.
D. It won’t affect donors’ health.
28. The purpose of the writing is to _______.

Reducing the amount of salt in our diets could save nearly 20,000 lives in the
UK every year, according to researchers.
The recommended maximum daily intake for adults is 6g in the UK, although just month the World Health Organization (WHO) revised this down to 5g. Yet according to figures from the British Heat Foundation, men consume around 9.7g a day, while women
revealed the dramatic effect reducing salt could have on death rates by using computer models. They estimated that reducing salt intake to 6g would save 500,000 to 850,000 lives in the US over the next decade.
British doctor Ian Campbell, medical director of charity Weight Concern, told Mail Online: Salt is a big problem in the UK, too. It’s a silent killer. Over time consuming too much of it increases the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks. About 80 percent of our salt intake comes from processed foods, so it can be difficult to avoid.
Many people are unaware of where salt is hidden, such as bread, soups, ready meals, and even breakfast cereals (麦片). The government approach has been to encourage food companies to cut the amount of salt in their products. There has been a reduction but it is taking too long. The Food Standards Agency should consider setting compulsory maximum levels for salt.
Victoria Taylor, Senior Dietitian at the British Heat Foundation, added: Eating too much salt may raise your blood pressure and having high blood pressure increases your risk of developing heart disease.
The government has worked with the food industry to reduce the amount of salt in our food and make labels clearer. But there is still work to be down by everyone because the majority of Brits are still consuming more salt than they would be.
32.Which of the following in the table reaches the daily maximum amount of salt
recommended by the WHO?
A. A large chips and a McDonald’s Big Mac.
B. A spicy crayfish and a large chips.
C. An original chicken and a spicy crayfish.
D. A McDonald’s Big Mac and an original chicken.
33.According to the passage, when people eat processed food they ________.
A. needn’t add salt
B. should add a
little salt
C. may ruin their health
D. can have risk
of heart attacks
34.To solve the problem of eating too much salt, Ian Campbell
advises ________.
35. A. having healthier breakfast B. punishing the
illegal food companies
C. reducing the amount of processed food
D. making laws
about maximum levels for salt
36.The last paragraph emphasizes the importance of ________.
A. making food tables clearer
B. monitoring the food industry
C. promoting the awareness of salt content
D. strengthening
the government’s functions

Your teen is falling asleep in class
Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school. 36
When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence from the school, depending on the classroom discipline policy. 37 To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips:
* Set a time for “lights out” on school nights. This is never be any later than 10 p. m. and preferably 9 p.m. 38 Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.
* Help your teen develop a nighttime routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 39 Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.
* 40 This will reinforce （增强）what it feels like to be rested and capable of accomplishing what he/she wants.
A. What’s worse, they may even fall asleep in class.
B. Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.
C. Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.
D. Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night’s rest.
E. All of these things affect your teen’s academic success and can be avoided.
F. “Lights out” means the computer, television, lights and cell phone should be off.
G. While your teen keeps his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she
may have his/her own
goals.
