Here is a list of colors, which can change your life.Blue/PurpleBlue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health. The blue / purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.Foods that contain blue and purple colors are: reddish eggplant (especially the skin), blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, etc. GreenWe all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates, which help resist cancer.Dr. Ashok Agarwal, a food and nutrition specialist, explains, "They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K, as well as carotene (胡萝卜素). Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."Foods that contain the green color are: broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, etc.RedLycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protection against heart attacks.Dr. Smiths says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as pared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of theproduce."Foods that contain red color are: Tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.OrangeThe orange foods are also rich in carotene, which are particularly good antioxidants. These foods are monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A."Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer, particularly of the lungs and stomach. Foods that contain the color orange are: Carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.16. The passage tries to tell us that ______.A. colors mean a lot to people and their healthB. foods of different colors will have different benefitsC. eating foods with a color must prevent diseasesD. what people should eat in their daily lives17.

It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. all grapes help lower the risk of high blood pressure and cancerB. lung cancer can be prevented by eating red-colored foodsC. green-colored foods contain a lot of vitamin A which is good foreye healthD. tomatoes should be eaten cooked so that we can benefit the mostBI don't remember the exact date I met Marty for the first time.Likea lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, my thoughts wereon speed, nothing more.The line I was standing in wasn't moving as quicklyas I wanted and I glanced toward the cashier.There stood a man in his seventies.I thought, "Well, it probably takes him a little longer to get the chores done." For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the items they were purchasing.Sure, his words were the usual, "How's it going?" But he did something different -he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversations.I thought it was odd, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble(咕哝,含糊地说) something back. I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"This old cashier seemed genuine about wanting to know how people were feeling. Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. Customers handed money to him, he hit the appropriate keys gently, the cash drawer opened, and he counted out their change.Then magic happened. He placed the change in his left hand, walkedaround the counter to the customer, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.As their hands met, the cashier looked the customers in the eyes."I surely want to thank you for shopping here today,“ he told them, "You have a great day. Bye-bye." The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.All had been touched by his simple gesture. Now it was my turn, I glanced down at the name tag on his red vest, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashiers wore.It read, "Marty."' Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money.The next thing I knew he was ,standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand.His kind eyes locked onto mine, smiling, and with a firm handshake.21.While the author stood in checkout line, maybe she felt a little A. calm B.nervous C. impatient D. relaxed 22.In the opinion of the author, people would ________.A.remain silent while shopping B.have a conversation on bad newsC.think carefully before a response D.have a mechanical chat with each other23.What made Marty different from other cashiers?A.He treated his customers friendly and sincerely.B.He calculated without using the cash register.C.He was interested in other's life.D.He used the change to do some magic.24. From the passage, we can infer that MartyA.didn't know how people were feeling B.devoted himself to his jobC.wasn't skilled in doing his job D.was familiar to all his customers25.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A.Shopping for fun B.The Conversation at a ShopC.The Handshake D.An Old CustomerCThe crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic.This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory mission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.To support more clean energy production, the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States es from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the ing years.Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike many major economies, Japan imports eighty percent of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute says twenty-nine percent of Japan’selectricity came from nuclear sources in 2011. The government planned to increase that to forty percent by xx.Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved(未解决的) issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran.26. Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?A. China.B. India.C. Iran.D. Germany.27. The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy inxx by ______ pared with 2011.A. 29%.B. 40%.C. 69%.D. 11%.28. Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U.S. is TRUE?A. Most of the electricity es from nuclear energy in the U.S.B. The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.C. A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.D. A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.29. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.B. The situation of the world nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan.C. Japan’s nuclear disast er will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world.D. Japan’s nuclear disaster won’t affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.30. From the last sentence of the passage, we can see the writer’sattitude towards building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr, Iran is .A. supportiveB. optimisticC. negativeD. uncertainSection C (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions : Fireworks are crackling through the night skies across the globe as revelers celebrate the first moments of xx.Crowds gathered in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region to ring in thenew year with music, fireworks and revelry. As clocks marched toward midnight around the world, crowds massed in Moscow, Dubai, London, New York and other major cities ahead of their celebrations.Dubai created what it called the world's largest fireworks show. About a million people are expected to gather in New York's Times Square to watch a giant ball drop at the stroke of midnight, the best known of the American New Year's Eve rituals.Fireworks erupted from Auckland's Sky Tower as people danced in the streets of New Zealand's biggest city. In Sydney, Australia, more than a million people watched fireworks launched for the first time in more than a decade from the sails of the city's famed waterfront opera house. Billowing fireworks soared over Hong Kong's skyscrapers.In Japan, some celebrators ate noodles and seafood - thought to bring good luck in xx --- and offered prayers at Buddhist shrines and temples.However, celebrations were somewhat muted in the Philippines, where officials say about 260 people were injured by fireworks or stray bullets(流弹) in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. The mood also was somber in areas still recovering from Haiyan, a November typhoon that killed thousands of people.Cape Town, South Africa, was set for a particularly poignant celebration to include a tribute to anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, who died December 5.31.How did crowds in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region celebratethe New Year?

He was accepted into middle school at 10.At 16 he became the youngest student at Edinburgh University. “At that time, he was a lucky boy, good at almost everything,” said his old friend Murray Elder. However, setbacks (挫折) fell on the brilliant boy. After a rugby injury, he became blind in his left eye. Before long, similar symptoms (症状) developed in his right eye. “I lay in the hospital bed in total darkness, uncertain about my future,” said Brown.Looking back into the past, Brown didn’t complain about his bad luck. He even said,“One door closes; you can’t play rugby any more, so you focus on other things.”Brown was interested in student politics in university, which helped a lot in his political career later in life.In 1997,Brown was made Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣).He has succeeded in giving the country a high rate of employment and the longest period of economic growth in its history.Compared with his successful career, Brown’s family life is full of downs. He lost his first daughter ten days after her birth. His one-year-old youngest son has a deadly disease. “These accidents make me appreciate my life more,” he said.5.Gordon Brown was successful in his childhood because he .A. was very intelligentB. went to middle school at 10C. played rugby very wellD. became the youngest student at Edinburgh University6.When Gordon Brown looked back on the past, he .A. still had hope for the futureB. wished that he had not played rugbyC. believed that his door was closedD. felt very sad about his misfortune7.From the last paragraph, we learn that Brown’s family life .A.is as successful as his careerB.is full of accidentsC. makes him upset about his lifeD.is filled with good luckCInternational Women’s Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world. It started with a protest(抗议) that took place in New York City in 1908 where women went out onto the streets to demand the right to vote,shorter working hours and better pay. Since then it has taken many forms and today it’s a global event. In some countries,March 8 is an official holiday and in other countries it’s an official holiday but only for women.In today’s world it may appear that women have all the same opportunities as men. If you watch the news you will see women astronauts and women leaders in business. However,if you look at the statistics you will realize things are different. The BBC did a report a few years ago that showed that in the UK women occupied only 30.9% of the most senior positions across some jobs in areas like politics, business and policing. So, although progress has been made since 1908,there is still a lot to do before we see an equal number of men and women in the top jobs and receiving equal pay.A lot of special events take place in towns and cities all over the UK to celebrate International Women’s Day. They are designed to celebrate the role of women in society and to make us think about the progress that has been made, but also about the changes that still need to take place to ensure the world is a fair and equal place for all its citizens.Can you imagine a future when there’s no need at all to have an International Women’s Day or thereis total equality for men and women? Hmm... something to think about but perhaps in your lifetime this could happen?8. Why did women organize a protest in 1908?A. They were not fairly treated.B. They wanted to get freedom.C. They were not permitted to work.D. They wanted to have a festival for women.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Women can do any job that men do.B. Women have all the same chances as men.C. One third of the top jobs are occupied by women.D. There’s still a long way to go for women to get full equality.10. What opinion does the author hold according to the last paragraph?A. There shouldn’t be International Women’s Day.B. Women will enjoy true equality in the future.C. We should work for the full equality for women.D. Total equality for men and women is perhaps a dream.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Quite often in rural areas,kids of all __37__ were taught in the same one­-room schoolhouse.Decades later in the 1980s,home­schooling made a eback when religiously conservative parents convinced states to __38__ and give full credit for the teaching of children at home. The home-­schooling __39__ has since broadened to include parents of all faiths-or no faith at all. Thus,an__40__1.5 million American children---about 3 percent of the school­-age population ---won't be going anywhere as schools open for the fall term.Instead,one or both of their parents will gather books and other material,__41__ lesson plans,and teach their children everything right in their living rooms.Home­-schooling's big selling point for many parents is the __42__ that children get their values from the people with whom they spend the most time.In home­schooling households,it's not __43__ to find several children,aged 4 to 16,being taught together. Older kids help younger ones,as they __44__ did in those one-­room schoolhouse. Many house­-taught studentsare good at several subjects and have no trouble __45__ to college,often with academic scholarships in hand.But critics point to home teachers' lack of __46__ and certificate.

Three Russian astronauts will join three colleagues from other countries as they are locked up together for a year and a half on a simulated(模仿的) mission to Mars. The mission is called Mars­500.The Mars­500 mission at Moscow's Institute of Biomedical Problems will test the psychological and physical effects of long­-term isolation on humans.The group's leader,engineer Sytev,looks at the three­-square­-meter place that will be his personal habitation. “This phone will work for only11 days. When we are near the Earth,it will be switched off,” said Sytev. Sytev is a newly­-wed. He says the most difficult thing will be to be separated from his wife and the persons around him. He finds it difficult to leave some of his habits behind—all their activities will be directed towards a certain goal and that he won't see sunsets,sunrises,won't feel rain for 18 months.After 250 days,three of the astronauts will simulate landing on Mars. The other three will wait for them—in the mock spacecraft—for a month. All munication with Earth will be via e­mail and will have as much as a 40­minute delay,like on a real Mars mission.Suvorov is a physician. He and other scientists will monitor the astronauts. “This experiment is unique because the six persons will be isolated for a long period of time,” noted Suvorov.“They will have to make decisions on their own and only then report to the Earth,and the Earth will tell them whether they did the right thing or not.” He says the experiment will pave the way for a real Mars journey later this century. “We are going to determine how much food and other products of daily use are needed,and how people of different cultures,of different training can find mon language and work on performing their tasks,” added Suvorov.Mars­500 is the third in a series of flight simulations. The earlier ones were shorter. The current experiment is set to end in November 2011. 56.The underlined word “mock” in Paragraph 4 means ________.A.simulated B.advanced C.small D.fortable 57.What do we learn about the Mars­500 mission according to the text?A.The base is located in New York,America.B.It is a simulation program designed for the future space expedition.C.All astronauts will spend 18 months in the spacecraft.D.Astronauts can't use any mobile phone during the experiment. 58.What is the most difficult thing that Sytev will face during their training?A.Standing the isolation and loneliness.B.There existing a 40­minute delay.C.Lacking food and other products.D.Being monitored by Suvorov and other scientists.59.We can learn from Suvorov's words that ________.A.it's hard for the astronauts to perform their tasks togetherB.more experiments will be carried out for a real journeyC.the astronauts should learn to make decisions on their ownD.different cultures of the astronauts don't matter any more 60.What is the main idea of the text?A.How people begin to conquer Mars.B.The introduction of a real Mars expedition.C.The difference between experiment and reality.D.Six astronauts train for the eventual Mars mission.阅读填空(1*10=10’)China's Ministry of Education has approved a plan by New York University (NYU) to open a separate,full degree-­granting(授予学位的) campus in Shanghai City in the ing years.Yu Lizhong,President of East China Normal University (ECNU),which is NYU's partner in establishing the NYU Shanghai campus,made the announcement on Jan.19th,2011.ECNU was founded in October, 1951 and is a key institution of higher learning directly under the Ministry of Education.The NYU Shanghai campus will be China's first international university co-­established by higher-­learning institutes from the two countries,media reports said.The NYU Shanghai campus will be located in the Pudong New Area's Lujiazui financial and trade zone.

It's in a worst period in recent history. People are now working on new standards and testing systems for the use of words and languages.Section D (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.One of the most frequent questions received from my students during my time teaching English would have been, "How can I try and improve my memory for new English words?" with one of their most monly heard troubles being expressed, "I always seem to forget words I'd learnt".I can fully understand the pain students feel towards this. For some reason I am able to remember words in Japanese, which I haven't used for 10 years, far easier than if I am asked to remember the Chinese word that I practiced last week in class. It makes me 'bakka' – which is the Japanese word for 'fengzi' - or crazy.An English fellow by the name of Tony Buzan offers a way to get the situation improved. Buzan believes in the brain's potential. According to Buzan, our brain and its capacity is limitless, allowing us to remember all sorts of things. What is important is the ability to make connections, to make memory bridges, from past known knowledge to presently learned knowledge.A mon misunderstanding, which he challenges as false, is the idea that as we get old our memory gets worse. A plaint post graduates often make saying that the English they studied as an undergraduate student has now been lost. Buzan, however, says this knowledge has just not been exercised – that it is still present just that the connections, the brain paths have not been cleared as frequently as they should have been.I think when it es to learning vocabulary – the key is actually frequent use. At last what will occur is a connection made between a previously learnt words to the new word that is to be learnt. Then ideally a connection from that new word just learnt to an even newer word. Thus our vocabulary expands.Title: How to memorize wordsSection E (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information givenin the passage.Life on earth depends on water, and nothing else can replace it. The current assumption (假设) is that our basic needs for water--whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish, will always have to be met. Given that premise (前提), there are two ways we can go to solve the problem of water crisis: more access to water and more engineering solutions.Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what will happen to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The fact is that if you build a dam, you will generally spoil the downstream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the next century, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. The engineers’ ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability (不可预知性). Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grassland and less agriculture —none of which were expected.The challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology allows us to grow better dry-land crops, there is no market stimulation for panies to develop locally appropriate crops suitable for the Third World.This brings us to the key problem in any discussion of water: money. In the next century, just consider the problems of water supply in Mexico City or Delhi. If you’re rich, you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming pool--yet millions i n such cities can’t get safe drinking -water. People talk about the ing water crisis. I believe we have one now. It is a water crisis for the poor.(293 words)46. According to the passage, what are the two basic routes to solve the problem of water crisis?_______________________________________ (no more than 8 words) 2’47. What will happen when dams are built in river basins in Africa?_______________________________________ (no more than 10 words) 2’48.

After getting tired of telling old fabricated stories, he left his house in search of a real life story.He reached a village and took a cottage for rent. After wandering in the village throughout the month, in search of true stories, the storyteller couldn't find one. Disappointed, he decided to stop his search.The next day, while sitting in the cottage, he suddenly heard a voice—a woman was yelling(吼叫)at someone. The voice was ing from the big wall behind his cottage.He tried to hear the conversation; it sounded like the woman was abusing(辱骂)her daughter­in­law. The storyteller didn't like it but he was happy to finally get his story.Listening to the conversations each day he added them to his story. Though he couldn't see the characters of his story, he started hating the mother­in­law, as she seemed to be a villain(坏人).Now it was time to finalize the end of the story. But before he did, the storyteller wanted to see the characters once, so he climbed up the wall.There he saw the mother-in-law sitting in a wheelchair. It seemed she was disabled and that the daughter-in-law was resting nearby.He saw the old lady trying to get some food lying on the table near her chair. But because of her condition, she couldn't reach it and it looked like the daughter-in-law was enjoying the old lady's helplessness. Suddenly the old lady fell from the chair and started abusing her daughter-in-law.The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story. He was surprised how different it was pared to what he originally thought it would be.Truly he had found both a real life story and a real life lesson.16. What's the meaning of the underlined word“fabricated” in Paragraph 1?A. Funny.B. Imaginary.C. Amazing.D. Romantic.17. Why did the storyteller climb up the wall?A. He thought he was strong enough to do it.B. He expected to find out what was happening.C. He would like to find a good ending for his story.D. He wanted to have a look at the woman and herdaughter-in-law.18. Why did the old woman start abusing her daughter-in-law?A. Her daughter-in-law didn't take care of her.B. Her daughter-in-law was too busy to help her.C. Her daughter-in-law pushed her out of her wheelchair.D. Her daughter-in-law didn't allow her to get food.19. What lesson can we learn from the text?A. No one is as deaf as the man who will not listen.B. A good listener is not someone with nothing to say.C. Don't just listen to one's words. Watch what one does.D. Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter because nobody listens.BMy students often tell me that they do not have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president”. I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to justify (证明……有理) myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was,“That's irrelevant. What's important is the quality of your work.”Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker”dodge(妙计), and I have e to some conclusions, all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”,which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work”during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it's not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product that's important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: “Don't work harder. Work smarter.” There's a lot of sense in that idea.If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means devising(想出) ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work”for students usually means “homework”,the expression “work habits”should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.20. From the passage, we know that the author is most probably________.A. a poetB. an educatorC. a novelistD. an engineer21. We can infer from the second paragraph that students still________.A. have enough timeB. can meet the presidentC. can get something done wellD. should accept the teacher's suggestion22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. My students often make full use of their time to do all their homework.B. I once tried to show myself to my professor by saying that I was wrong.C. Many of us can get more time to improve the quality of the work.D. Improving reading and writing skills will benefit students a lot.23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Not an Acceptable ExplanationB. Don't Work Harder. Work SmarterC. An Analysis of Our Work HabitsD. Read Better And Write BetterⅢ.书面表达24、假设你是张林,你的老板Mr. Whitehead要求你于周六上午去参加一个产品介绍会。

AI am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家)hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性)of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has written dozens of plays.B. He has a deep love for the theater.C. He is a professional stage actor.D. He likes reading short plays to others.22. What does the author avoid doing in his work?A. Stating the plays’ central ideas.B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.C. Including various types of plays.D. Offering information on the playwrights.23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?A. Control their feelings.B. Apply their acting skills.C. Use their imagination.D. Keep their audience in mind.24. What is this text?A. A short story.B. An introduction to a book.C. A play review.D. An advertisement for a theater.BThe traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally don’ t flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30 am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33 am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37 am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city, just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US:intersection(十字路口)signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed,” says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.For all of Bellevue’ s success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. “It’s not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller citi es,” he says.In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportatio n Department’s traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Increased length of green lights.B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.C. Flexible timing of traffic signals.D. Smooth traffic flow on the road.26. What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?A. They work better on broad roads.B. They should be used in other cities.C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.D. They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.27. What can we learn from Bellevue’ s success?A. It is rewarding to try new things.B. The old methods still work today.C. It pays to put theory into practice.D. The simplest way is the best way.CChallenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1, 000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers’ memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.Those who had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive(认知)function at a much slower rate than those withthe least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants’overall health status.“This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “After a lon g run, you may feel like you’re in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work — sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy. ”It’s not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brai n fit, Then points out. A waiter’ s job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调),” she says. “You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.”Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons —including other environmental influences or genetic factors.
