Part I Reading Comprehension(共60分)
Section A(共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)
Directions：In this pan there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown. Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.
This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from 1.19 billion pounds in 2011 to 1.12 billion pounds in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to 1.11 billion pounds in 2016.
In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from 43 pounds in 2014 to 41 pounds in 2015.
Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume," said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. "These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer."
While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).
One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.
1.The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because ______.
A. Britons have cut their spending on it.
B. its prices have gone up over the years.
C. its quality has seen marked improvement.
D. Britons have developed the habit of saving.
2.What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?
A. It will expand in time.
B. It will remain gloomy.
C. It will experience ups and downs.
D. It will recover as population grows.
3.What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?
A. Special offers would promote its sales.
B. Consumers are loyal to certain brands.
C. Luxurious features add much to the price.
D. Consumers have a variety to choose from.
4.What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?
A. They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.
B. They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.
C. They prefer cheap paper to recycled toilet paper.
D. They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.
5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.
B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.
C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.
D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
"One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger," says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her study, participants were randomly （随机地）assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine
（尼古丁）patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, 'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice,'" says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings （瘾）and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that Point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective," says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. "When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it," Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.
6.What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?
A. She quit smoking with her daughter's help.
B. She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.
C. She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.
D. She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.
7. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?
A. They were given physical training.
B. They were looked after by physicians.
C. They were encouraged by psychologists.
D. They were offered nicotine replacements.
8.How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?
A. It is idealized.
B. It is unexpected.
C. It is encouraging.
D. It is misleading.
9.The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2，Para. 5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking _____.
A. is something few can accomplish
B. needs some practice first
C. requires a lot of patience
D. is a challenge at the beginning
10.What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?
A. They find it even more difficult.
B. They are simply unable to make it.
C. They show fewer withdrawal symptoms.
D. They feel much less pain in the process.
Passage Three
Questions 11 to15 are based on the following passage.
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Carke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.
At six o'clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.
Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-"a master key" perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn't go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
It was just after four o'clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.
11.Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because_______.
A. she worked at a club on the day
B. she said visitors on Thursdays
C. she visited a club on Thursday
D. a special visitor came on Thursday
12.If someone had made a forced entry,_______.
A. Mrs.Clarke would have found a broken door or window
B. he or she was still in the house
C. things would have been thrown about
D. he or she would have needed a master key
13.On the third Thursday Mrs. Clarke went out_______.
A. because she didn't want to miss the club again
B. to see if the thief was hanging about outside
C. to the club but then changed her mind
D. in an attempt to trick the thief
14.The lock on the front door was one which_______.
A. needed a piece of wire to open it
B. could he opened from inside without a key
C. couldn't be opened without a key
D. used a knob instead of a key
15.The wire fell to the floor_______.
A. because Mrs Clarke refused to open the door
B. when the man's glove dropped off
C. because it was too hot to hold
D. because the man just wanted to get away
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted, it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus. 16. In the long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ______.
A. food
B. oil
C. space
D. resources
17. Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because _____
A. it might be possible to change its atmosphere
B. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's
C. there is a good supply of water on Venus
D. the days on Venus are long enough
18.On Venus there is a lot of ________.
A. water
B. carbon dioxide
C. carbon monoxide
D. oxygen
19.Algae are plants that can____.
A. live in very hot temperatures
B. live in very cold temperatures
C. manufacture oxygen
D. all of the above
20.Man can land on Venus only when_______.
A. the algae have done their work
B. the atmosphere becomes cooler
C. there is oxygen
D. it rains there

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than onc e.
Global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world. Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice 26M away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in 27G with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are 28C to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures 29K between 1℃and 6℃over the next 100 years.
A) appealing v B) average n C) contributing v
D) dramatic adj E) frequently adv F) impact n
G) line n H) maintain v I) melted v-ed
J) persist v K) ranging v L) recently adv
M) resolved v-ed N) sensible adj O) shock n/v
The warming will be more 30D in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the 31F of this warming will be very different depending on where you are—coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable (宜居的) and 32A for humans than these areas are now.
A) appealing v B) average n C) contributing v
D) dramatic adj E) frequently adv F) impact n
G) line n H) maintain v I) melted v-ed
J) persist v K) ranging v L) recently adv
M) resolved v-ed N) sensible adj O) shock n/v
The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on 33B, everywhere. Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend.
Some scientists 34H that the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random (无规律的) variation—some years are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years 35L—but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.
A) appealing v B) average n C) contributing v
D) dramatic adj E) frequently adv F) impact n
G) line n H) maintain v I) melted v-ed
J) persist v K) ranging v L) recently adv
M) resolved v-ed N) sensible adj O) shock n/v
A) appealing v B) average n C) contributing v
D) dramatic adj E) frequently adv F) impact n

The World Health Organization has published a new report on mental health. It says that one out of every four people in the world will suffer from a mental or brain disease at some time in their lives. W-H-O Director General Gro Harlem Brundtland is calling on governments to make mental health a serious concern.
The World Health Organization estimates that about four-hundred-fifty-million people currently suffer from mental illness or brain disorders. About one quarter of these people suffer from depression. About fifty-million people have epilepsy, a nerve disorder. These conditions can be treated. However, the W-H-O reports that nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional.
Doctor Brundtland says mental illness affects people in both rich and poor countries. She says most people can fully recover if treated. However, only a small number of people receive even the most simple care. This is often because of limited resources and medicines. In addition, Doctor Brundtland says that health care providers in many countries often do not have the necessary skills to treat mental diseases. She adds that mentally sick patients are usually not treated with fairness in their cultures. And many nations do not have good public health policies.
Doctor Brundtland says that most people suffering from mental disorders can live productive lives if they get the right treatment. For example, more than eighty percent of people with the severe mental disorder schizophrenia can be free from the disease returning after one year of treatment. Up to sixty percent of people with depression can recover with the right mixture of medicines and treatment.
Experts say mental health problems can be treated at a small cost. The W-H-O says governments should treat patients in community health centers instead of large mental hospitals.
56.How many people currently suffer from depression?
57.Who may be influenced by mental illness？
58.The reason that only a small part of people can receive treatment is often because of .
59.What will happen if people suffering from mental disorders get the right treatment?
60.Where does the WHO believe governments should treat patients of mental health?

66.Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, 67. so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went to that famous city.
They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.
68. “Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr. Smith.
“Yes,certainly, sir,” answered the man. “We serve it until half past nine”
69. “What are the times of meals then?” asked Mr. Smith.
“Well, sir,” answered the man. “We sever breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.”
