阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A
The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices, even though it is not fully operational yet.
The hotel consists of 68 "capsules", each 1.1-meters high, 1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long. The basic rate is 28 Yuan （$4.22） per person, plus an additional 4 Yuan an hour. The hotel also offers a package of 68 Yuan for 10 hours and 88 Yuan for 24 hours.
All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated, and each is equipped with independent sockets, clocks, lights, TV and wireless Internet service. The hotel also has a public lavatory, shower room, smoking room and shared guest room.
"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai," said Ta Zan, the owner of the hotel. Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005, so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.
He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests' habits. "In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs, but in China people are more willing to take a shower, so we have the shower room," he said. He has also separated the
capsules into three snoring （打鼾的）zones so that guests who often snore won't disturb others. Like most of capsule hotels in Japan, the one in Shanghai is for men only.
But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone. "I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin （棺材），and the price is also not that appealing. A bed at a youth hostel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night," said Wang Lei, a student from Beijing.
56.The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in .
A.Shanghai
B. Japan
C. Beijing
D. America
57.If you stay in the capsule hotel in Shanghai for 8 hours, you will have to pay yuan.
A.28
B.60
C.68
D.88
58.What does the underlined word "compact" mean?
A.Dear
B. Cheap.
C. Close.
D. Clean.
59.The capsule hotel in Shanghai differs from those in Japan in that.
A.it serves men as well as women
B. its capsule is much larger
C. it has a shower room
D. it has no snoring zones
60.We can know from the passage that .
A.everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stay
B.all the capsules of the hotel were made in China
C.each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory
D.no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel in Shanghai

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.
A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people
without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brai n is changed by the experience of learning a second language/9 said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. "'Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible（灵*舌的）,"he said. "You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. "'Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world/9 explained the scientists.
66.The main subject talked about in this passage is.
nguage can help brain power
B.man's ability of learning a second language
C.science on learning a second language
nguage learning and maths study
67.In the second paragraph, the writer mentions "exercise" in order to.
A.say language is also a kind of physical labor
B.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
C.to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D.prove that one needs more practice when he （she） is learning a language
68.The underlined word “bilingual" probably means.
A. a person who can speak two languages
B. a second language learner
C. a researcher on language learning
D. an active language learner
69.We may know from the scientific findings that.
A.the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people's brain
B.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn't know a
second language
C.the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is
D.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
70.In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that.
A.learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B.Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
C.you'd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
D.early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjects

About a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.
Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.
"Even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.
WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases.
Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率)is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.
Rachel Thompson, the WCRF's head of science, said that while the message was simple 一that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers 一it was still a difficult one to get across.
The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.
Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who don't smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.
“There isn't a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we ha ve the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,9, Baldini said.
71.Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off' in the sixth
paragraph?
A. protect
B. prevent
C. develop
D. cure
72.Which of the following statements is Not true according to the text?
A.Exercising and eating healthily can help to reduce cancer risk.
B.Each year about 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer around the world.
C.Every year millions of people die from smoking and lung cancers.
D.Adults should walk for fifty minutes three times per week.
73.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A.Simple life changes could stop millions of cancers
B.Cancer is a leading cause of death
C.Our bad lifestyle caused many diseases
D.The incidence of common cancers is rising
74.By writing the passage, the author mainly intends to.
A.advise people to develop healthier lifestyle.
B.warn people of the danger of cancers
C.explain why many people die from cancers every year.
D.introduce the ways to protect people from developing cancers
75.We can infer from Peter Baldini's opinion in the last two paragraphs that.
A.all the lung cancers are linked to smoking
B.there is no medicine to cure the cancers but it's our duty to find one
C.all governments should take measures to control smokers and protect people's health
D.it's our opportunity and duty to persuade people to give up smoking

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

Why can't I get it done?
This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. It is not
as if you are not working hard, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and productivity. Your plan is what gives you a clear picture of what you are aiming at, but the method of achieving may vary from time to time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were not working on it. The problem is whether you will be able to manage time.
Before you start on the next activity, task or project, first ask yourself why you want to do what you are about to do now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is right.
Doing the right thing at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do what is right, also consider. Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when it is done at the right time.
You will feel sorry about the time spent on what was not profitable to you. Time can not be wasted, because it can not be preserved and replaced. You are always doing something with your time. What matters is the value of what you are doing at the moment with your time.
The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. It will become simple if you learn to manage time effectively.
