A 58-year-old mother of three, Emma Orbach has spent the past 13 years living with no electricity in her self-built roundhouse，at the bottom of a field in rural west WaIes ，a 15-minute walk from the nearest road.
Her daily routine includes tending to her vegetable plot and collecting fruit, looking after her three goats, seven chickens and two horses and cutting firewood. She gets her drinking water from a nearby stream and only rarely goes to the shops for treats like rice and chocolate. Her evenings are spent in the light of her stove, cooking her dinner and playing music. She then retires to her wool covers at about 7. 30 pm. Mrs. Orbach said："This is how I want to live. This lifestyle makes me feel really happy and at peace and this is my ideal home.
Living in the mountains of West Wales, she named her home Tir Ysbrydol, which means ” spirit land" in Welsh. When her children, who are in their 20s and 30s and live in London, Bristol and Brighton, visit, they, like all guests at the roundhouse, are banned from bringing technology such as phones or laptops with them,
was a violinist and her mother a librarian. After graduating from Oxford with a degree in Chinese, she married architectural historian Julian Orbach. Together they founded the Brithdir Mawr
eco-community in the Preseli Mountains near Newport, in Pembrokeshire, round a 180-acre farm
in 1993. For five years they enjoyed a simple life, then a survey plane chanced the " lost tribe(部落）"and they were involved into a decade-long battle with the authority.
Officials were unable to find any records, let alone planning permission , for the mystery hillside village surrounded by trees and bushes and insisted the eight grass-covered buildings should be pulled down.
The eco-community suffered a decade of inquiries, court cases and a planning hearing before their fight，backed by more modem support for green issues, finally ended in victory in 2008 when the roundhouses were given planning approval. ,
But by then Mr. and Mrs. Orbach had divorced and the community split into three sections, including hers. Each community is independent and they co-exist as neighbours in a more traditional style.
Explaining why she set up her own home just before 2000，Mrs. Orbach said she felt a " very strong pull to live life even more simply"
She is in the process of building a sixth roundhouse there and has permission from the council to build four more. She runs a " healing an(l retreat(隐居)centre" on the site and usually has about five people living in the other roundhouses. They pay her a donation, which covers her
£ 63-a-month council tax payments, repair costs and supplies of grain.
She said：“ 1 don‟t miss anything at all about what is normally called reality. The quality of life, in my view, is decreasing and everything is speeding up and becoming more stressful. Once or. twice I have joked about getting a takeaway pizza delivered here when I am tired after a long day. But I don't think anyone would deliver a pizza across two fields anyway. "
54.What does Mrs. Orbach usually do at 7 :30 pm?
A. Makes fire.
B. Has dinner.
C. Plays music.
D. Goes to bed.
55.The underlined sentence implies (in Para 4) that Orbach‟s lifestyle______.
A. is deeply influenced by her parents
B. is quite different from her background
C. is closely associated with her degree 1). is strongly supported by her husband
56.The officials insisted that the roundhouses be pulled down because they were build______
A. on the mysterious hillside
B. without planning permission
C. for commercial purpose
D. regardless of the record

C. lead a happy and simple life
D. struggle against the authority
58.When talking about her present life, Emma Oirbach is______
A. satisfied
B. desperate C stressed D. regretful

Sarah Out land‟s weeklong “staycation" gave her a chance to explore her new surroundings after moving to Chicago. A day after moving to the Windy City last year, Outland, started a new job and never got a chance to explore her new surroundings. After nine months as a resident ,she finally took a week off work to visit famous landmarks, museums and shopping centers that were right under her nose.
If you glance through a newspaper or listen to a news broadcast recently，you may hear or spot a strange word, “staycation”Staycation is a new word the American press is employing to describe a vacation very close to your home, or simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination of the words "stay" and "vacation".
According Io many news reports ，these staycations are achieving great popularity among American families this year. When asked about the reason for their expected staycation, respondents stated "gas prices are too high”(61 percent)，"travel in general is too expensive" (44 percent). The high price of gas for cars and airplanes has made it very expensive for Americans to travel compared to. past years. When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home during their traditional summer vacations For aggressive young Americans who are trying to balance family and work，a staycation can be a great concept. They want to enjoy their homes ,and the attractions in their area without the stress of packing or making reservations. They won't be paying high fuel prices either directly, at the pump, or indirectly, in airfare, other than the gas required to drive around town. Absolutely,
it's friendlier on the environment when locals take trips to attractions in their own area, and not everyone is game for a vacation that involves staying on a hotel compound. Few people live close enough to a real destination to make this worth their while.
59.How long after moving to Chicago did Sarah Outland take a staycation?
A. A day.
B. A week.
C. A month.
D. Nine months.
60.The author develops the second paragraph of the passage by______.
A. making a comparison
B. giving a definition
C offering an analysis D. providing an example
61.Staycations are popular with American people mainly due to______
A. high traveling expenses
B. stress of packing
C .relatively low income D. lack of real destinations,
62.The underlined part" is game for” (in Para. 4) means "______‟，.
A. is tolerant of
B. is opposed to
C. is willing to try
D. is expert in
D
Police traded gift cards for guns in Los Angeles on Wednesday, in a buyback program Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa as a crime-fighting response to the deadly shooting incident in Newtown, Connecticut.
Police officers handed out $ 200 grocery gift cards to people who turned int an automatic weapon, and .$100 gift cards to those who provided a handgun or shotgun. Los Angeles has held an annual gun buyback since 2009, and similar events have been organized in years past iin several other cities, including Detroit and Boston. police in San Diego had a buyback earlier this month.
Some experts say the buybacks have little effect in reducing gun violence, but villaraigosa touted the buyback program as one step that can be taken in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14 thatt claimed the lives of 20 children and six adult staff members.
Los Angeles normally has its gun buyback in May, but VilIaraigosa announced last week that the city would have this special buyback in response to the Newtown tragedy(悲剧）.
"There are a number of things we can do. This is just one of them，" Villaraigosa said on CNN. "We‟ve got to also address the culture of violence that we‟v e got in this country."
At last count, the Los Angeles gun buyback had collected 1 ,366 firearms, including 477 handguns and 49 assault weapons, said Vicki Curry, a spokeswoman for the mayor. The buyback ended at 4 pm local time，but a final number of guns collected was not expected to be ' released before Thursday. In May, the city's annual gun buyback program collected 1 ,673 firearms at six
locations, comparer! to two locations used for the program on Wednesday, curry said.
At each of the locations where the buyback was held,, a line of cars stretched around the block, Curry said .People off their guns were asked to leave them in the trunks of their cars ,where officers collected the weapons.
While officials in Los Angeles and elsewhere have said the gun buybacks help keep streets safe ,a 2004 report by the National Research Council of the National Academies questioned that conclusion
63.What is the purpose of this special gunback program?
A. To distribute gift cards.
B. To buy private guns.
C. To respond to the shooting.
D. To encourage people to consume.、
64.The underlined word " touted" (in Para. 3 ) is close in meaning to " ______".
A. praised
B. quitted
C. designed
D. accepted
pared with an annual gun buyback，this special one is______.
A. abnormal
B. flexible
C. welcome D, dangerous
66. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. A creative gun buyback
B. Two different gun buybacks
C. Guns for Gift Cards
D. Opposition to gun buyback

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 last month the World Health Organisation( WHO) revised this down to 5g. Yet according to figures from the British Heart Foundation, men consume around 9. 7g a day, while women have 7. 7g.
Now researchers at three universities，including Harvard Medical School，have 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 ti me consuming too much of it increases the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks. About 80 per cent 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 Heart 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 done by everyone because the majority of Brits are still consuming more salt than they should be.
67.Which of the following in the table reaches the daily maximum amount of salt recommended by the WHO?
A. A large chips and a McDona ld‟s Big Mac.
B. A McDonald5S Big Mac and an original chicken.
C. An original chicken and a spicy crayfish.
D. A spicy crayfish and a large chips
68.According to the passage, when people eat processed food they
A. should add a little salt
B. needn‟t add salt
C- may ruin their health D. can have risks of heart attacks
69.To solve the problem of eating too much salt, Ian Campbell advises______.
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
70.The last paragraph emphasizes the importance of______.
A. making food labels clearer
B. monitoring the food industry
C. promoting the awareness of salt content
D. strengthening the government‟s functions
