A
It is no secret that Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand) is a diverse(多种多样的) city full of different
cultures and new research has shown exactly how it and the rest of the country are changing.
More than 200 ethnic (种族的) groups are recorded as living here and Auckland is considered to have a wider
variety of cultural groups than London or Sydney, with 40 per cent of its population made up of different ethnicities.
The changing makeup of the country’s population is featured in the latest NZ Geographic magazine, which focuses on ethnic diversity, age, wealth and attitudes, drawn from the latest census (人口普查) figures.
Massey University humanities and social sciences research director Professor Paul Spoonley said Auckland
multi-culturalism today is way beyond what experts believed likely a few years ago.
Asian communities, in particular, in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001, when 6.6 per cent of the
Kiwi people (New Zealanders) were Asian. The proportion (比例) in Auckland was 14.6 per cent. By 2006, 18.9
per cent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 per cent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally, the census showed 11.8 per cent of the population was Asian -- and that figure was increasing.
“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back,” Mr Spoonley said. “A system is attracting A sian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant(移民) communities and
particular of Asian peoples. That had been a hugely noticeable change, Mr Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to
New Zealand and particularly to Auckland. “The environment is clean, there’s fresh air and there There’s a good education system here in New Zealand ...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other counties, such as America, Canada
and Australia.
21. What changes has taken place in Auckland?
A. It has been developing at a higher speed.
B. It has started to control its population.
C. It has begun to value ethnic cultures.
D. It has become a more diverse city.
22. What is the proportion of Asians in Auckland now?
A. About one-tenth.
B. Below one-fifth.
C. Nearly one-fourth.
D. More than two-fifths.
23. Why do many Asians migrate to New Zealand according to Spoonley?
A. They need a better education.
B. They want to live in a safe place.
C. They love the clean environment.
D. They hope to get better healthcare.
24. What do most New Zealanders think of Asian migrants?
A. They are part of the society.
B. They are a small ethnic group.
C. They are very likely to change.
D. They are a danger to the country.
B
Some problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if
we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one.
It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem. Some problems have only one solution. You
cannot be of two m inds over this. But with any luck, we can solve the problem on two shakes of a lamb
other words, we could have our answers quickly and easily.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or
action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
If you are going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, but you don’t want another friend to go alo date, you can just say to your friend: two’s company, three’s crowd.
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three R’s. These important skills are reading, and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R”. But they have the sound of used to give three cheers when I did well in maths. They gave praise and approval for a job well done.
Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their school work. They were at sixes and sevens.
In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when they completed their studies and
graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine. Nine times out of ten students
who do well in school find good jobs. Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs.
You do not have to dress to the nines, or wear your best clothes, for this kind of work.

During my junior year of college, a group of us drove a car and “discover” a new suburb(
At first, we all agreed that we had come to college in this major city to escape what we thought were our boring
lives in our various places of origin, but after a time, we realized that it would be impossible for us to turn our
backs on our old lives completely.
The first stop was typically some old diner, which reminded each of us of one from our various hometowns.

just follow our noses to the kinds of places we liked to visit in these towns, typically stopping by the biggest supermarket we could find. There we’d buy instant noodles and soda, and other types of foods we all remembered from childhood. We went to as many places like this as we could; we were always sure to happen upon something
strangely familiar to us. The place ---- whether it was one of a million grocery stores, movie theaters, or fast-food
restaurants ---- was unimportant; it seemed that everywhere had something special for at least one of us.

Do video games damage your brain? Not really ---- even if some adults like to say they do. In fact, some skills
gained from playing video games can actually help your brain. A new study suggests young gamers perform better
than medical school students in robotic-surgery simulations (机器人外科手术仿真环境).
Researchers wanted to see if the skills video gamers develop are useful for surgery ---- especially robotic
surgery, which uses computers to perform exact movements during difficult operations. Just as video games require
players to have good hand-eye coordination(协调), robotic surgery requires doctors to simultaneously use their
hands and keep an eye on a monitor. Robotic systems then carry out the movements that human hands would do.
“The inspiration for this study first developed when I saw my son, a crazy video-game player, take control of a
s Medical Branch at
robotic-surgery simulator at a medical conference,” says Sami kilic of the University of Texa
Galveston. “With no formal training, he was immediately at ease with the technology and the types of movements
required to operate the robot.”
Kilic and his colleagues compared the robotic-surgery simulation skills of medical school students with those
of high school and college students who spent two to four hours each day playing video games. In tasks like
passing a needle or lifting instruments with a robotic arm, gamers had equal or better hand-eye coordination and
hand skills than the medical students. The researchers found that gamers who played up to two hours of video
games per day performed best.
Studies like these may help medical schools develop new ways to train future generations of surgeons, Kilic
suggests.
“As we see studen t s with good ... hand-eye coordination that are a result of the technological world they are
interested in, ” Kilic says, “we should rethink how best to teach this generation.”
32. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. At a fixed time.
B. For a short time.
C. At the same time.
D. For the first time.
33. How did Kilic feel about his son’s performance at the medical conference?
A. It was a success.
B. It made no sense.
C. It need improving.
D. It was full of difficulties.
34. When tested to pass a needle with a robotic arm, video gamers ___________.
A. were impatient
B. performed very well
C. spent almost two hours
D. got help from medical students
35. What can be concluded from Kilic’s research?
A. Robotic surgery will face a big challenge.
B. Video games are very harmful for people’s brains.
C. Surgeons could learn a thing or two from video games.
D. Medical school students lack the knowledge of technology.

The teenage years can be hard, and it is normal to feel sad from time to time. But if these feelings don

Try not to separate yourself from others.
When you’re depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the
morning can be difficult, but separating yourself from others makes depression worse. 37 Spend time
with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy.
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a “runners high”? Physical
activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so take part in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class.
Any activity helps! 38 As for food, make sure you are feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol(酒精) and drugs.
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “m
