21．（6分）A Common Habit Leads to Shocking Harm
C rossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. Y ou won’t feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long period s of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
1、According to the passage, which is not the problem caused by sitting with your legs crossed?
A．Increase blood pressure
B．Cause neck and back pain
C．Lead to numbness or temporary paralysis
D．Keep in a twisted position
2、What’s the best explanation of the underlined word “circulate”?
A．Go straight
B．Move around
C．Fall down
D．Work against gravity
3、Which of the following statement is true?
A．Once you cross your legs while sitting, you’ll feel immediate effects.
B．The numbness in the legs ,ankles or feet won’t cause permanent nerve damage.
C．The perfect posture for sitting is to sit with your feet planted flat and hip width apart.
D．As long as you cross your legs for less than 15 minutes, it won’t do harm to your health.
22．（8分）Next month, I’m traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala — one of the local languages —to have a conversation. I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage this — until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I’m going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the application I’m using. It feels just like a game.
“People often stop learning things because they feel they’re not making p rogress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “We’re trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you’d want to do instead of watching TV.”
Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you learn the words, you “water your plants”. When the application believes that you’ve really memorized a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the application sends you emails, reminding you to “water your plants”.
The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created — I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.
The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it’s the kind of application you only use for five or ten minutes a day.
I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know thi s won’t make me a fluent speaker, but I hope I’ll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my Vocabulary!
1、What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?
A．Create memorable experiences. B．Make progress with hard work.
C．Learning words instead of watching TV. D．Combine study with entertainment.
2、What are you doing when you “water your plants”?
A．Logging on to the application. B．Being a Memrise user.
C．Practising the vocabulary. D．Moving words to your garden.
3、How does Memrise work?
A．By linking different mems together. B．By putting knowledge into practice.
C．By offering human translation services. D．By applying an associative memory approach.
4、What is the author’s attitude towards Memrise?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Uninterested. D．Negative.
23．（8分）Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women's rights long before it became a popular event.
Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property（财产）. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions involving children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.
At the age of 15, Susan became a schoolteacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women's groups to promote rights that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.
After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the women's voting movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming's decision. It was not until 1920 that the U. S. Constitution（宪法）was changed to give all women voting rights.
Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness（肖像）of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.
1、What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born？
A．They had low social place.
B．They could vote after getting married.
C．They managed money for their husbands.
D．They were responsible for decision-making.
2、What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A．Susan's teaching experiences.
B．Susan's educational background.
C．Susan's efforts to stop slavery.
D．Susan's fighting for women's rights.
3、What does the underlined word "decision" in the fourth paragraph refer to？
A．Promoting the social movement.
B．Changing the U. S. Constitution.
C．Giving women voting rights.
D．Uniting other areas and states.
4、What may be the best title for the passage？
A．The first American woman to invent coins
B．The problem of women's rights in the U. S.
C．The most popular women organization
D．A pioneer in fighting for women's rights
24．（8分）I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary(革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents(住户)eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no con tact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why inter-generational(代际的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.
But it isn’t only the in dividuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generatio n to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.
1、Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read?
A．To argue for a new concept. B．To show his interest in the topic.
C．To introduce the topic of the text. D．To draw our attention to a social problem.
2、What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs?
A．To provide a good job opportunity for the young.
B．To bring the old and the young together.
C．To teach the young to respect the old.
D．To ask the old to care for the young.
3、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity in the world.
B．The inter-generational programs’ benefits to individuals.
C．The inter-generational programs all over the world.
D．The examples of inter-generational activities.
4、What may be the best title for the text?
A．Building bridges for the old and the young.
B．A new concept in caring for the old is born.
C．Offering a warm home for the young.
D．Being old is no more sad.
25．（10分）Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.
Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk’s flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.
Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.
Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.
Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said
how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.
Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?
1、What may Kitty Hawk’s flying car be used for at present?
A．Accelerating the speed. B．Having fun.
C．Advertising the company. D．Fetching water.
2、What do we know about Kitty Hawk’s flying car from the third paragraph?
A．It costs two thousand dollars each. B．It can travel over water.
C．It offers $100 to its potential buyers. D．It hasn’t gone t o market.
3、In what way is Uber’s flying taxi similar to Kitty Hawk’s flying car?
A．They travel at the same speed. B．They are electric-powered.
C．They are supported by the Uber app. D．They require a flying license.
4、What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?
A．To call for public donations. B．To introduce some advantages.
C．To promote interest in science. D．To talk about possible problems.

One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.

The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy f rom under the tree was now a shirtless dancing 52 . He owned the dance floor 53 meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of 54 every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as 55 as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

29、Dear Smith,
I’m Li Hua, a student in China. Knowing that you are eager to learn something more about Mobile Payment in China, I deeply welcome the opportunity to give you a brief introduction about it.
As you know, Mobile Payment has been a tendency in China. On the one hand, its convenience as well as efficiency makes it possible for us to take with us only a mobile phone rather than much cash, which saves us much time and trouble. On the other hand, Mobile Payment is widely used in our daily life, like paying bills, booking tickets and so on.
I will greatly appreciate it if my introduction can make you have a clear idea of Mobile Payment.
Kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
