Alice observes Arthur,sitting quietly across the room enjoying his cup of tea.“I don’t know.”she says,laughing.The johns shared a big bed until a few years ago,when their aching bodies finally forced them to sleep separately.But Alice still gets up every morning and fixes her husband coffee and toast.Alice and Arthur don’t talk much these days.He can’t see but can hear pretty well.Alice can see with the help of glasses,but can’t hear clearly.This,together with Arthur’s failing memory and mind,makes conversation tough.“Mom has a tough time with Dad these days because of his poor health.” says Dorothy.“But they have always cared for each other.”And they inspired strong values in their children:never gossip,respect your elders,be clean--even if you’re living in a tent—and be kind to one another.20.What does the word“suitor”(Para.2) probably mean?A.A person who asks for marriage.B.A person who Joins a hunting teamC.A male friend of the girl’s family.D.A 15-year-old village girl.21.What contributions to the long marriage according to the passage?A.Similar living habits.B.Love at first sightC.Lots of children and grandchildren.D.Tolerance towards each other.22.Why are Arthur and Alice no longer sleeping in the same bed?A.Arthur can’t see clearly.B.Alice has no prepare breakfast.C.They feel strong pain in their bodies.D.They don’t get up at the same time.23.According to Dorothy,what helps her parents go through the tough time?A.Having the habit of being clean.B.Respecting their elders.C.Inspiring their children.D.Looking after each other.Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.Have you ever wondered how historic places survive over time? One of the ways is through the World MonumentsFund(WMF).The WMF is a group of experts who work to save the most treasured places on Earth.Every two years,the WMF announces a Watch List,a 1ist of special places that need requiring or improvement.This year’S sites spread across 41 countries and six continents.Like endangered(濒危的)animals,some places are considered endangered because,without help,they might not survive on their own.Sites are placed on the list for many different reasons.Some sites are added because they have been ignored over the years and fallen into disrepair.Others are added because natural disasters have harmed the site.Six sites in the United States are on the list this year.One of the spots is a historical district in Charleston,South Carolina,which is popular with people on vocation.Another U.S.Site is located on the Fifth Avenue in New York City.Built in 1954, the Manufacturers Hanover Tr ust Company Bank was called the“glass house.”It is a four—story bank.Because the building is made of glass,you can see the giant vault(拱顶)right inside the bank.Many artists think the building is a special part of New York City’S history.Improving sites can be very expensive.This year,American Express donated(捐赠)five million dollars to help the project over the next five years.’WMF president Bonnie Burnham said it’s important to save as much history as much history as possible in a rapidly changing world.“We’re shaping the world of tomorrow.”she said.“But we’re doing it in the present.”24.What is the mission of the World Monuments Fund?A.To repair historic places.B.To protect wild animals.C.To preserve endangered historic sites.D.To prevent disasters from damaging the sites.25.The word“disrepair”(Para.3) is closest in meaning to______.A. bad conditionB. serious threatC. negative influenceD. urgent consideration26.What is most special about the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company Bank in New York City?A.It was built in 1954.B.It is made of glass.C.It is located on the Fifth Avenue in New York City.D.The building has four floors.27.Why is the WMF important to our changing world?A.It provides US with donations.B.It announces a watch list every year.C.It is popular with people on vocation.D.It helps US save as much history as possible.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Almost nine in ten university graduates with first or second class degrees see freelancing(⾃由职业)as a profitable career choice,according to a new survey.A fifth of graduates with first class degrees have already decided to work as a freelancer,the study shows,while 29%of allgraduates intend to make freelance work part of their career plans. 85%say they see it becoming the norm(常规)within the next five Years.The findings suggest graduates are drawn to freelancing by the independence and flexibility on offer:more than two thirds said freelancing presented a better work—life balance than a traditional job,and 38%found the variety offered by freelance work appealing.Graduates may also be keen to gain more control over their lives after university;28%said they see freelancing as a good way to work for themselves.Recent figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show that one in ten young people are still out of work six months after graduation.The potential to make money was also tempting;38%of those surveyed said they believe they can earn at least as much as they would with a traditional career.Graduates,parents were less certain,however.41%of respondents though their parents would view freelancing as a risky career move,mentioning concerns about healthcare and pensions(退休⾦),and just one in ten said their parents would actively encourage them to freelance.The study of 1,032 graduates was conducted by Elance,the online work platform.There are about 1.4 million freelancers in Britain,mostly working in programming,design and multimedia,or writing and translation.28.According to the passage,freelance Jobs cannot offer______.A.flexibility B. earning potentialC.work—life balance D. Healthcare benefits29.According to statistics,the percentage of graduates remaining out of work six monthsafter leaving university is______.A.10%B.28%C.38%D.41%30.What is most parents’attitudes toward s freelancing?A.Approving.B.Doubtful.C.Negative.D Supportive31.What can we learn from the passage?A.Translation can provide an excellent opportunity for freelancers.B.Most graduates regard freelancing as a profitable career choice.C.There will be more and more graduates out of work.D.Unemployed people are pursuing alternative’career paths.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.Athletes of all shapes and sizes need to pay attention to what goes into their bodies,bu t sometimes It’s hard t0 know exactly what’s being consumed.Sugar is one of those substances that you might take too much without knowing.One can of Coke contains about 39 grams of sugar,amounting to a total of 140 calories(卡路⾥).Given their complex lack of nutritional(营养的)value,soft drinks aren’t worth your time.Another problem is that most people love the taste of sugar and often don’t care whether they consume an unhealthy amount.This presents a risk for the general population,but emphatically for young athletes looking to improve their game.Like many things in life,there’s a fine line between too much sugar and just the right amount.Staying within the 40-to-60 grams per day range, athletes can use simple sugars to their advantage,fueling their normal levels of activity.Beyond that,intense physical activity requires athletes to increase their daily sugar intake.Some performance-supporting sugars are found in all kinds of healthy fruits.That’s why NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony has adopted a diet(饮⾷) filled with fruits to stay within his weight range of 228-230 pounds.He would not be the dominating force if he didn’t pay attention to his diet,specifically his sugar consumption. He limits sugar intake to before and after workouts,both fueling his body and satisfying his sweet tooth.32.What is the author’s opinion about soft drinks?A.They are of little value.B.They contain too much sugar.C. They have too many calories.D They Call help weight control.33.What kind of people are most harmed by an unhealthy amount of sugar?A.Old people.B.General public.C.Overweight people.D.Young athletes.34.Some famous athletes pay attention to their diet,especially to_____A.nutrition B.calories C.sugar D.drinks35.According to this passage,one gram of sugar amounts to about _____calories.A. 3.5 B.12 C. 50 D. 60Part Ⅲ ClozeIt was two days before Christmas and young Maggie Dotson was already told that her Christmas wish would not come true.The deer,she was told,would not be coming backA year before that December day a(n) (36) baby deer had been abandoned in the woods behind the Dotson’S home.So(37) was the 1ittle deer that he hadn’t the strength to run away from Magie’s father when he (38) him.As he carried the little deer towards their home,Maggie rushed outside and greeted her father with great (39).“Wow,a deer!

A recent trend in corporate organization is to reduce the number of levels of management.(CDCCAABBBADCDDA)完形填空Children rate their fathers as among their least popular playmates because fathers are too competitive. According to research among more than 1,000 children, fathers always "play to win”, have no imagination or are simply at a loss as to how to play games. Children up to the age of 12 would rather play with their friends, their mother or their brothers and sisters. Only one in 16 chose their fathers as their ideal companion.Tim Gill, director of the Children's Play Council, said, "Dads have difficulty not being too competitive. Several fathers said they found _it_ hard to get down to their children's level, It is not easy for them to let children win, but children will get fed up if they lose all their time."The competitive dad sometimes puts his children to constant challenges they can never live up to. It's also partly a power control issue. Fathers want to let their children know they are still "players”. But being competitive was not al together unhealthy. The thing is not to be obsessive about it. One father of two, who declined to be named (as he didn't want his children to feel embarrasseD., told The Telegraph: "I don't think I am overly competitive but it is better my children learn to lose with someone who cares for them/(CABDCBDBCA)阅读理解"The public can have this car in any color they like as long as it is black." Henry Ford, the first of the world's great car makers, said those famous words back in 1911. Since then everyone has tried to show that he was wrong. The development of the car economy has resulted in a move away from standardization.Marketing professionals often use car ownership as a kind of shorthands for different social or economic groups. The "Sierra man" is a young junior executive. He is sales oriented, very ambitious and likes sports. He drives a large, powerful Ford Sierra. The "Galaxy man" has fulfilled most of his career ambitions. His home and family are the most important things in his life, so hedrives a Ford Galaxy, an MPV.The ability to make these statements is naturally limited by spending power, Some car makers like BMW and Mercedes concentrate on the upper income ranges. Others, like Ford, Toyota and Volkswagen develop large families of cars to cover different tastes in the mass market.Originally, car ownership was limited to the head of the family, nearly always the father, As women have become increasingly financially independent, car makers have begun to produce cars for this market too.26.What does the speaker think of Henry Ford's standardization in making cars? It was possibly acceptable in the 1910s but is out of date now.27.What is a typical "Sierra man” ?A young and ambitious junior manager.28.What is a typical "Galaxy man”?He pays more attention to his family than his work.29.Which of the following makers aims at the rich and wealthy? BMW.30.When cars first became popular, who was the normal owner of a car in the family? The father.(C B D D D )Some people remember things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes in obvious(明显白勺)places, such as on the table or on the floor in the middle of the living room. I don't think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until its too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock (闹与中)to tell me what I should do. I have some alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example, if I have to make a telephone call at a certain time, 111 set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a certain television program, 111 set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on the top of the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don't know what it means. I always remember setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone. But I can't be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time.31.The writer doesn't like to write notes to himself because most of the time he loses them or forgets to look at them.32.The writer often uses alarm clocks to help him remember things.33.In this passage, "go off" means make a sudden noise34.According to the passage, notes are not good, because people may forget where the notes have been put35.The clock helps a lot but sometimes tells nothing(A D D A D )Switzerland is a small country in the middle of Europe, famous for its beautiful scenery, its unique banking facilities, and the excellence of its manufactured products, especially watches and clocks. The country is a federal republic and is officially known as the Swiss Confederation, Its total area is 15,940 square miles, and the population in 1995 was 6,905,000. It is bounded on the north by Germany, on the east by Austria and Liechtenstein, on the south by Italy, and on the west by France. The capital city is Berne.The people of Switzerland fall into four distinct groups, each speaking a separate language and generally following different religious practices: the German Swiss, the French Swiss, the Italian Swiss, and the Rhaeto-Roman Swiss. However, the good will that exists among them enables them to live and work together. The statistics show that about 5 percent of the population was foreign-born, but this has not prevented the formation of a type of person that can be recognized as the typical Swiss: rather short, with brown or blond hair, and dark or gray eyes. The Swiss are known all over the world for their devotion to work, their efficiency, and their keen business sense. They love to travel, and many of them live outside of Switzerland without giving up their Swiss nationality. Now over 160,000 of them are living abroad, mainly in France, Germany, Italy, and the United States.36.What is the location of Switzerland in Europe?In Central Europe.37.What is Switzerland famous for?Beautiful scenery, unique bank service, and high-quality products.38.What is the official name of Switzerland?Swiss Confederation39.Which is the neighboring country of Switzerland on the east?Austria40.Which of the following is a feature of a typical Swiss?Brown or blond hair.(D A C D B)This summer, for the first time, Emory College let freshmen pick their own roommates in an online roommate-selection system. Students, using screen names to hide their identities, posted profiles of themselves detailing personality attributes, work habits, music and food preferences, and exchanged information using e-mail.Housing officials at Emory say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates who are their closest matches will increase the likelihood of compatibility. And there's little risk of hurt feelings if the e-mail exchanges do not lead to a match, since the initial round of contacts is done under screen names.Several studies have shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with. And one recent study found that a roommate's academic performance has a small, but statistically significant, effect on the other roommate's grade-point average. Other studies, however; did not find that effect.The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country, At Davidson College, the housing staff sort every freshman with careful hand-selection. The Davidson philosophy is that roommates should be as similar as possible, while halls should be as diverse as possible."We had a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle rancher's son and the other was a vegan (绝对■素食者)/ said Ms. Kromm. "They should definitely meet, on the same hall. But we didn't want to put them in the same room/,Occasionally, an incoming student asks to be paired with an Asian, or says she might not be able to get along with a Republican, In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them that Davidson does not accept roommate preferences based on race, ethnicity, and religion.Davidson's care in matching pays off. By Christmas last year, only four requested roommate changes out of 480 students. No one knows whether computer-matching works as well. But at Emory, so far; student reaction seems to be overwhelmingly positive.41.In computer matchmaking, initially students do not reveal their identities42.If e-mail exchanges between students fail to lead to a match, the students involved won't feel embarrassed or discouraged43.As mentioned in the passage, only one study found that roommates have an impact on the academic grades of the other roommates.44.It can be inferred from the passage that computer matching is a novelty with no final results45.Both computer matching and hand selection follow the principle of putting students with similarities together (BCAB A)。

阅读理解2Passage 1Passage One Artist Sam Easterson’s “Animal, Vegetable, Video” project offers a unique look at people in the world: the world as seen by animals and plants. The videos are taken by placing cameras as tiny as half an ounce on animals or plants. There's no specific length for the shooting; it lasts until the camera falls off. The result is a unique perspective applauded by naturalists in which the stars of the film are also the videographers. "If people can see things from the animal and plant perspective, they are far less likely to harm them or their environment, and that's why I present it," Easterson said.It all started from equipping a small flock of sheep with cameras in 1998. Easterson said he learned a lot about his new craft and the nature of animals. "The first thing I realized was how intelligent and aware they are," he said. "The project changed everything in terms of respect. I was shocked to realize all the other animals in the flock could tell that this one sheep with the camera had been 'altered' in some way. She kept trying to enter, and they kept treating her as an enemy. I also learned sheep can run very fast."While not a scientist, Easterson works with researchers by offering details that they may have never seen. Easterson said no animals have been hurt working as videographers. In the long term, Easterson said he hopes to create a library of hundreds of animals, from the unique "first animal" perspective.Questions 1-5: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.

AJohn Todd was born in Rutledge, Vermont, into a family of several children. At a very early age, both his parents died. One dear and loving aunt said she would take little John. The aunt sent a horse and a servant, Caesar, to get John who was only six at this time.On the way back, John was uncertain about his future: Would she be there?Would I like li v ing w ith her?Would she lo v e me?Would I ha v e my o w n room?Would she let me ha v e a puppy? Caesar told him he fell into good hands and she had a big heart. She'd got everything all set. She would be sure to wait up for him before they got there. They would see her candle in the window.Sure enough, as they neared the house, John saw a candle in the window and his aunt standing in the doorway. As he shyly approached the porch, she reached down, kissed him, and said, “Welcome home!”John Todd grew up in his aunt's home and later became a great minister. She was mother to him.

阅读理解5Passage OneFor many years, officials of the National Institutes of Health have told Americans that they need to get enough sleep. They say this is necessary for people to stay healthy and do well. Now health officials begin to urge children to get enough sleep. They say children need at least nine hours of sleep every night. They say research shows that children who get this much sleep perform better in school and are less likely to become too fat.Studies show that lack of sleep causes tiredness and problems with clear thinking. People who do not get enough sleep become angry easily. They also have trouble controlling their emotions.Among children, problems that result from lack of sleep often are mistaken for more serious disorders. Unlike adults, tired children seem to have endless energy. Some doctors mistakenly identify this as hyper-activity. Many sleep disorders first develop in childhood. But doctors often do not identify the disorder until years later.Experts say many American teenagers are not getting enough sleep. Teenagers stay up late for several reasons. For example, schoolwork, after school activities and late-night fun. Four years ago, education officials in Minneapolis changed the starting time of seven high schools. The officials delayed the starting time by almost ninety minutes.A University of Minnesota study found that participation at the high schools improved after the starting time was changed. However, the later start did not greatly affect the performance of the students. Still, school systems in other parts of the country are discussing later starting times for high school students.Questions 1 – 5: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.

2014年5月北京成人本科英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有: 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 4. Identification 5. Cloze 6. TranslationPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”. This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families-a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116. (76)Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known that “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47 ,000 for a family of four. (77)Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work.The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9- to 11-year-olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended preschool had better literacy (读写能力) , language, maths and science skills. And years of pre-kin-dergarten were better than one. Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school-based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of______.A.eightB.sevenC.sixD.four正确答案:D解析:第一段第一句说美国的幼儿园一般在五到六岁开始,第二句说在富裕国家里这么晚才开始是十分奇怪的,所以是在五岁以前,综合答案选择D,四岁。

2014年春季远程教育入学测试专科英语试卷阅读理解Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter from animals also falls on it.All soil needs food. If we don’t give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.1. Which of the following is true?All our food comes from the soil.Most of our food comes from soil.None of our food comes from the soil.All our food comes from animals.2. What would happen first without plants?A. People would have more cropsB. Animals would dieC. There would be more foodD. There would be less soil.3. What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph?A. Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.B. There would be no animals without plants.C. There would be no plants without animals.D. People, animals, plants and soil live on each other.4. Which is the best food for soil in the field?A. Chemical fertilizersB. Plants and grassC. Animals’ wasteD. Different crops5. Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?A. Because we can keep the soil rich this yearB. Because we don’t have enough landC. Because we want to have a different foodD. Because we do this as a habitBBDCA。

Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.At first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city, Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna’s eight buildings from the 5 th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “ In the past, many people couldn’t read or write, “ says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people. “Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces. Travel Tips When to Go: June—October: weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups. Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron. How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city. Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco. What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers. What to Read Before You Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis(2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city’s art, architecture, and history.21.In ancient times, mosaics were used to______.A.display artistic achievementsB.compete with Roman paintingsC.explain religion and politicsD.teach reading and writing正确答案:C22.Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna in______.A.MayB.JuneC.SeptemberD.October正确答案:A23.If you want to try fresh seafood, you should go to______.A.Emilia RomagnaB.Hotel Centrale ByronC.Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD.Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco正确答案:D24.Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A.Because it was written by a famous writer.B.Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C.Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D.Because it provides useful information about the city’s weather.正确答案:BWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness: if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight: and if his tail is tucked(塞)behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight. Unlike dogs, cats’ tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out(甩动)his tail. The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs’.25.What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?A.It has a lot to say to you.B.It wants to stop fighting.C.It is going to fight.D.It likes to be patted.正确答案:C26.A cat tries to appear big when it is______.A.facing a dangerB.unhappyC.ready to huntD.hungry正确答案:A27.Which of the following does the author intend to say?A.Dogs and cats are not good friends.B.Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C.Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D.Dogs use tail language more than cats.正确答案:D28.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “predators” refers to______.A.animals that follow and obey other animalsB.animals that kill and eat other animalsC.animals that live in the wildD.animals kept by people正确答案:BLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief:Patrick Ryan, 47 , the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month. Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling(姊妹篇)of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It’s really the only magazine for young adult short fiction, “ he says from his office in New York. “ It’s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it’s forced upon them in schools. “Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn’t carry photographs or advertising. It’s just exactly what it says: one story per issue. Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It’s not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ‘ Twilight’ characters and the ‘ Harry Potter’characters, they feel very contemporary. “Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “I would love to make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody—would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this. “29.Who is Patrick Ryan?A.He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B.He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C.He is the editor-in-chief of “Twilight”.D.He is the editor-in-chief of One Teen Story.正确答案:D30.What is One Teen Story?A.It is a story magazine for teenagers.B.It is a London-based literary journal.C.It is a column of a newspaper.D.It is a magazine of science fiction.正确答案:A31.According to Ryan, what attracts young readers most?A.Photographs and illustration.B.Chances and practices in business.C.Characters and stories close to their life.D.Political teachings and moral messages.正确答案:C32.In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means______.A.reading storiesB.writing storiesC.editing magazinesD.making money正确答案:BCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We’re now up to nearly 3. 7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3. 3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child. Financial worries aren’t the only driver. The trend towards later motherhood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring costs of raising a child, which have been calculated as £222, 500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years. The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child. It may not be a bad thing: there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and Al Paci-no, golfer Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showedthat the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection—which sometimes descends into physical fights —is more stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it’s not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.33.The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to______.A.financial problemsB.technical problemsC.health problemsD.cultural problems正确答案:A34.The passage shows that IVF is______.A.safer than natural pregnancyB.very popular in UKC.very expensiveD.a risky investment正确答案:C35.What is a proved advantage of one-child family?A.Improved family life.B.Higher number of sports stars.C.Efficient family education.D.Promotion of children’s success.正确答案:D36.The findings of the institute at the University of Essex might mean that______.A.the only children’s lack of playmates causes problemsB.the only children are much happier than othersC.parents-children relationship is off balanceD.children have to struggle for parental love正确答案:BAbout 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期). That means they have blood sugar that’s higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2—at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11 % of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probablybecome type 2 in 10 years or less. Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabetes who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels. If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis: Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%. Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking, playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works, too. Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check. Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-diabetes: 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes: and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucose tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar.37.What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes.B.Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years.C.Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2.D.Pre-diabetes is ranked No. 1 danger threatening Americans’ health.正确答案:B38.To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to______.A.glucose levelsB.exercisesC.heart diseaseD.stroke正确答案:A39.Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?A.70 mg/dl.B.90 mg/dl.C.110 mg/dl.D.130 mg/dl.正确答案:C40.What column of a newspaper is most likely to have this article?A.Technology.B.Entertainment.C.Education.D.Health.正确答案:DPart IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.The Nobel Prizes are awards that are given each year for special things that people or groups of people have achieved.

阅读理解3Passage OneThis summer, for the first time, Emory College let freshmen pick their own roommates in an online roommate-selection system. Students, using screen names to hide their identities, posted profiles of themselves detailing personality attributes, work habits, music and food preferences, and exchanged information using e-mail.Housing officials at Emory say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates who are their closest matches will increase the likelihood of compatibility, and there’s little risk of hurt feelings if the e-mail exchanges do not lead to a match, since the initial round of contacts is done under screen names.Several studies have shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with, and one recent study found that a roommate's academic performance has a small, but statistically significant effect on the other roommate's grade-point average. Other studies, however, did not find that effect.The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country. At Davidson College, the housing staff sort every freshman with careful hand-selection. The Davidson philosophy is that roommates should be as similar as possible, while halls should be as diverse as possible."We had a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle rancher's son and the other was a vegan (绝对素食者)," said Ms. Kromm. "They should definitely meet, on the same hall. But we didn't want to put them in the same room." Occasionally, an incoming student asks to be paired with an Asian, or says she might not be able to get along with a Republican. In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them that Davidson does not accept roommate preferences based on race, ethnicity, and religion.Davidson’s care in matching pays off. By Christmas last year, only four students requested roommate changes out of 480. No one knows whether computer-matching works as well, but at Emory, so far, student reaction seems to be overwhelmingly positive.Questions 1-5: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet. 从A, B, C, D选项中选择一个正确的答案写在答题卷上。

As he talks, he studies my shirt and counts the stitches (缝线). Ever since the age of three, when he suffered a disease, Tammet has been obsessed with counting. Now he is 26, a mathematical genius who can figure out cube roots quicker than a calculator, but can't drive a car or tell right from left. He lives with extraordinary ability and disability.Tammet is softly spoken and shy about making eye contact. He lives on the Kent coast, but never goes near the beach-there are too many pebbles to count. The thought of a mathematical problem with no solution means too much for him. Tripsto the supermarket are always a chore because there's too much mental stimulus. "Instead of thinking 'What cheese do I want this week?', I just keep counting." Tammet is also a "savant", an individual with an extraordinary mental ability. An estimated 1% of the population have savant abilities, but no one knows exactly why.A number of scientists hope that Tammet might help us understand better. Professor Allan Snyder explains why Tammet is of particular, and international, scientific interest. "Savants can't usually tell us how they do what they do. It just comes to them. But Daniel can describe what he sees in his head."Last year Tammet broke the European record for recalling pi, the mathematical constant, to 22,514 decimal places. He found it easy, because he didn't even have to "think". He wanted to prove that though he's technically disabled, the disability needn't get in the way.Questions 6-10: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet. 从A, B, C, D选项中选择一个正确的答案写在答题卷上。
