These little animals can produce some of the strongest material in the world, scientists say.Spider thread is four times stronger than __41____, according to . Their thread can be used to join together skin or tissue after an operation, or as fiber in machines. But scientists have long wondered what makes spider thread so strong. Now the secret has been ___42_____, thanks to Professor Horst Kessler’s research team at the Technical University of Munich and Professor Thomas Scheibel’s team at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. They discovered that spider thread contains long chains of protein molecules (分子). These are built up of thousands of amino acids (氨基酸). In some parts of the thread, protein chains ___43____ together, making the thread fiber stable. In other parts, proteins are separated, which helps keep them ___44____ as well as strong.Spiders keep these proteins in good condition before they turn them into thread. Before the proteins go into the spinning __45____, they are kept in the spider’s saltgland (腺体). This stops them becoming clumped (结块) together. Once they move into the spinning passage, however, the proteins will quickly __46_____ parallel structures. This keeps the thread structure stable.__47_____, even the best ___48____ synthetic fibers cannot match the strength of spider thread. These new findings may provide chemists with a __49_____ for creating new and improved materials.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15)ClozeMuch time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments, but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son’s soccer game, or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to 50 some personal matters, have broader physical health benefits 51 making you feela bit less tired?According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, it seems so. In a review of 10 previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000 people, 52 from the U.K.'s Durham University and University of Newcastle, as well as the University of Montreal, found that flexible work schedules — when employees can 53 their starting times, for example —were associated with improvements in a person’s overall health. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, in all of the studies included in the review, researchers found no evidence for 54 effects of more flexible work schedules. This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefitsof flexible work options, which are increasingly 55 throughout Scandinavia, and have recently gained some ground in the U.K. 56 , last April, the British government 57 a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger.In the U.S., the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on. Yet, the economic slowdownof recent years may have contributed to 58 in workplace flexibility — as companies 59 to reward employees with bonuses(奖金) or raises may 60 other forms of compensation(补偿), Reuters reported early last year.Previous research too, of course, has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes. And while these latest findings are promising, the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed 61 between flexible work and improved health outcomes. To truly 62 the benefits of flexible working conditions, the researchers say, additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide 63 of workers — from high-ranking executives to hourly employees —is 64 , which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue, and to shape future workplace policy.50.

She stepped on the brakes . and stopped just in time.But then she started texting. Distracted , Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car.Luckily she wasn’t in a real car. She was in a driving simulator at Roosevelt High School, Ohio, US.“I never really realized you swerve that much,” Amanda, a junior, said. She added that she doesn’t text while driving any more. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the dangers of driving drunk, while texting, or while talking on the phone.Last year, state authorities reported 39 fatalities (死亡案例), 454 serious injuries and 12,410 crashes caused by distracted driving. Experts said that real numbers are probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer game. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a steering wheel , brake and gas pedals . It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, for example driving drunk or driving while texting. They always crash, of course. Then they are pulled over by police, and learn the bad results of their driving: how much damage they’ve caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they’re going to go to prison.“It teaches how to drive without being on the road,” said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates.“Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously,” he said. “Put away your cell phone. Don’t put your makeup on. Don’t be eating or playing with the radio.“A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It cannot only change your life, but it can change someone else’s life forever. The resu lts are serious.”MCT65. The purpose of the first three paragraphs is to ______.A. show the damage Amanda Floyd caused by texting while drivingB. warn drivers to watch out for deer on the roadC. introduce the driving simulator at Roosevelt High SchoolD. teach people not to swerve too much while driving66. The driving simulator project at Roosevelt High School is meant to ______.A. teach students how to driveB. help students understand the dangers of distracted drivingC. let students have fun between classesD. test the students’ ability to stay focused67. Which of the following statements about the driving simulator is TRUE accordingto the article?A. It is connected to the local police station.B. It looks like a real car but has large computer screens.C. Students who use it benefit more than those who only watch.D. It lets students find out in detail the consequences of their “accidents”.68. We can conclude from the article that ______.A. students at some schools performed better with the simulator than kids at otherschoolsB. the simulator has served its purpose wellC. driving with the radio on proved to be quite safeD. more courses should take the form of computer gamesB69. Ghostwritten work in “CONTEST RULES” might be ________.A. written by someone other than the authorB. science fiction difficult to understandC. a long essay in a very strange writing styleD. full of citations from other writers70. To enter the writing contest, one ________.A. has to pay a feeB. must submit work by January 1, 2013C. needs an eye-catching title for his word documentD. can submit any form or style of writing but a poem71. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The final results will come out on December 31, 2013.B. All entries must be emailed to contest2013@.C. One can not add a note to a 1,500-word essay for the contest.D. the winning entries will be edited and published.(C)A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts（冷暖空气团接触的锋）to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front is increasing or decreasing in intensity. They are also able to determine whetheran air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal a synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, droughts, and all climatic conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels which often set the stage for the development of air masses, fronts, and storms.Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions. With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations (气象站). Extensive experiments are also in progress for weather modification（改变）studies. But the limitations of modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of super-cooled, upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional orographic (山岳形态的) precipitation on the windward side of mountain ranges. Nevertheless, they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements.72. By reading weather maps, students majoring in geography can .A. design a project of weather modificationB. interpret the weather condition before the time of observationC. obtain data on atmospheric conditions over a wide areaD. survey ever-changing fronts in local meteorological stations73. A thirty-day forecast is determined by examining .A. daily weather mapsB. upper air levelsC. satellite reportsD. changing fronts74. The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because______.A. electronic instruments are usedB. it enables man to alter the weatherC. it makes weather prediction more time-consumingD. information not obtained readily otherwise can be gained75. At the present time, experiments are being conducted in .A. controlling and influencing weatherB. determining density of pressuregroupsC. 30-day “outlooks”D. predicting stormsSection CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F76.Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away. On your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. But the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. However, isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so maintaining your close relationships and social activities are important.77.Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future. But you can’t break out of this pessimistic mind frame by “just thinking positive.” Happy thoughts or wishful thinking won’t cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.78.In order to overcome depression, you have to take care of yourself. This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what you’re able to do, adopting healthy habits, and scheduling fun activities into your day.79.When you’re depressed, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing. But exercise is a powerful tool for dealing with depression. In fact, studies show thatregular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication at increasing energy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue. Scientists haven’t figured out exactly why exercise is such a potent antidepressant, but evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension —all things that can have a positive effect on depression.80.If you find your depression getting worse and worse, seek professional help. Needing more help doesn’t mean you’re weak. Sometimes the n egative thinking in depression can make you feel like you’re a lost cause, but depression can be treated and you can feel better!I.

She was in a driving simulator at Roosevelt High School, Ohio, US.“I never really realized you swerve that much,” Amanda, a junior, said. She added that she doesn’t text while driving any more. The Ohio Department of T ransportation (ODOT) a nd S tate H ighway P atrol b rought t he s imulator t o t he s chool.

Experts said that real numbers are probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer game. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a steering wheel , brake and gas pedals . It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, for example driving drunk or driving while texting.They always crash, of course. Then they are pulled over by police, and learn the bad results o f t heir d riving: h ow m uch d amage t hey’ve c aused, w hat t heir f ine i s, i f a nyonedied in the accident, and if they’re going to go to prison.“It teaches how to drive without being on the road,” said Shante Thompson, 16.

A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts（冷暖空气团接触的锋）to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front i s i ncreasing o r d ecreasing i n i ntensity.

Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveala synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal ina few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau i ssues i nformation a bout a pproaching s torms, f loods, f rosts, d roughts, a nd a ll climatic conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” whichis a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels w hich often set the stage for the development of air masses, fronts, and storms.Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions. With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites, enormousgains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions whichhave but few meteorological stations (气象站). Extensive experiments are also in progress f or w eather m odification（改变）studies. B ut t he l imitations o f m odificationhave prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of super-cooled, upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional orographic (山岳形态的) precipitation on the windward side of mountain ranges. Nevertheless, they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements.72. By reading weather maps, students majoring in geography can .A. design a project of weather modificationB. interpret the weather condition before the time of observationC. obtain data on atmospheric conditions over a wide areaD. survey ever-changing fronts in local meteorological stations73. A thirty-day forecast is determined by examining .A. daily weather mapsB. upper air levelsC. satellite reportsD. changing fronts74. The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because______.A. electronic instruments are usedB. it enables man to alter the weatherC. it makes weather prediction more time-consumingD. information not obtained readily otherwise can be gained75. At the present time, experiments are being conducted in .A. controlling and influencing weatherB. determining density of pressuregroupsC. 30-day “outlooks”D. predicting stormsSection CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Keep your body healthyB. Cultivate supportive relationshipsC. Take care of yourselfD. Challenge negative thinkingE. Know when to get additional helpF. Adopt healthy habitsTips for dealing with depression76.Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away. On your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustainthe effort required to beat depression. But the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. However, isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so maintaining your close relationships and social activities are important.77.Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future. But you can’tbreak o ut o f t his p essimistic m ind f rame b y “just t hinking p ositive.”H appy t houghtsor wishful thinking won’t cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughtswith more balanced thoughts.78.In order to overcome depression, you have to take care of yourself. This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what you’re able to do, adopting healthy habits, and schedulingfun activities into your day.79.When you’re depressed, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing. But exercise is a powerful tool for dealing with depression. In fact, studies show thatregular e xercise c an b e a s e ffective a s a ntidepressant m edication a t i ncreasing e nergy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue. Scientists haven’t figured out exactlywhy exercise is such a potent antidepressant, but evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension —all things that can have a positive effect on depression.80.If you find your depression getting worse and worse, seek professional help. Needing more help doesn’t mean you’re weak. Sometimes the negative thinking in depression can make you feel like you’re a lost cause, but depression can be treated and you can feel better!I.

They weigh only about eighty pounds each.In spite of their small size, they are the best hunters among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be caught by them.Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are constantly moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for more than a few days. In their camps there is not furniture at all except for some weapons such as spears, bows and arrows. There are no cooking pots either. Food is eaten uncooked or smoked over a lire. So when the tribe moves to a new camp there is nothing to carry except these weapons and babies too small to walk.Pymies can move on the tree tops almost as skillfully as monkeys. Often they travel great distances through the branches without touching the ground.One of the surprising facts about these small men and women is their great appetite （食欲）. A Pygmy can eat up sixty bananas at a single meal besides quantities of meat. After eating, they will lie on their hard earth bed and groan（呻吟）in all night. But in the morning, they are ready to eat the same amount of food or fight among themselves.51．Pygmies are small in size, but they are brave in ______.A．hunting B．shooting C．eatingD．fighting with their enemies52．Pygmies are so skillful that _____.A．they never walk on the ground B．they can move on the top of treesC．they always walk with sticks D．they can hang from the branches53．The writer wrote this article so as to ______A．ask people to learn from Pygmies B．help Pygmies go out of the forestsC．let us know the local condition and customs of the PygmiesD．tell us the world is big and wide54．Why do Pygmies move from place to place continuously? The main reason is that _____.A．that want to look after wild animals B．they always walk with sticksC．they plant no crops D．they don’t sleep in one campBThis is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend（超越）it. Once we truly know that life is difficult---once we truly understand and accept it---then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.55. From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems56. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. get readers’ attentionD. make readers laugh57. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to______.A. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemB. encourage them to learnC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems58. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ______.A. most people feel life is easyB. most people complain about how hard their lives areC. the writer feels life is easyD. the writer likes to complain about his problemsCWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake , even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I've used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.59. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he want__________.A. To get close to a butterfly.B. To escape a sudden attack.C. To look over the bad situation.D. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.60. What made the man feel funny?A. Making the attacker pause.B. Being stepped on by his mate.C. Discovering the angry butterfly.D. Being attacked by a butterfly.61. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. carelessB. amusing D. aggressive D. courageous62. From this experience the man learned_____.A. how he should deal with attacksB. how to deal with challenges in his lifeC. people should protect butterfliesD. people should show sympathy to the weakDAs you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers(同龄人). When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this.

His mathematics was so far ahead of his classmates that he would often be sent home for finishing his work early. And when he turned 13 in 1916，the teachers at his village school suggested he try for Rivington Grammar School. But his father said，“We need him to bring in a wage.” So my granddad was sent to a factory，then down the mines and finally to a paper mill (造纸厂)，where he stayed for almost four decades until he retired.What happened to the man with real intellectual ability but without the chance to exercise that muscle？Rather than become discouraged，he turned his disappointment into a passion for education，and a determination to makesure his daughter and granddaughter had the opportunities he missed out on.I grew up hearing about the way he helped my mother with her homework，which he’ d never come across before. I know he kept himself busy by learning. He had argued with his workmates when my mother applied for a teacher-training college.“There’ s no point in educating a girl”they said .He must have been angry when hearing that.What do I remember of my granddad？One day he brought me a football. “Have you ever wondered” he said，“why we always say ‘black and white’ instead of ‘white and black’？” Then he left me to think.. He made me think about language.He lived to see me win a place in a famous college，but died at the beginning of the autumn term. Every time I won a prize，Mum would say，“Your granddad would have been proud.” My granddad was a clever man. What thanks can we give him but to do our best?51．According to the passage，the author’s granddad________.A．began to work in his teen years B．wasn’t good at mathematicsC．studied in Rivington Grammar School D．didn’t like learning grammar52．Why did the author’s granddad argue with his workmates?A．Because they laughed at his poor family.

The Generation 90s is coming!Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut （初次登台）．Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle．Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s group．EarphonesThese little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s．They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears．Martian languageThey have created their own code-like online language．It’s a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand．This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers．Self-PortraitSaying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation．A little bit of narcissism （自恋）never hurts anyone．It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online．Text-messagingThey can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak．This is a generation that respects efficiency．However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style．55．According to the passage, if you belong to the Gen-90s , you will ____________ ．A．just appreciate yourself and ignore others’ strengths．B．have your own symbols and lifestyle．C．have the same symbols and lifestyle of the Gen-80s．D．like music and dance very much．56．According to the text, the writer will choose ______ as a good example to the Gen-90．A．Li Hua likes music and always wearing ipodB．Zhang Chao is not only an imaginative boy but do everything efficiently．C．L ily is a shy girl and she doesn’t like making friends．D．Fangfang likes being taken photos and often posting them on line．57．According to this passage, which is FALSE?A．Not all teens are cautious about posting photos．B．They type their mobile phones so fast that it can catch the speed of speaking．C．The Gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even regard them as a necessary part of life．D．They don’t use the cool and complex online language in formal writing．58．The main idea of the passage is about________．A．the Gen-90s’ happy lifeB．the difference between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90sC．the Gen-90s’ unique lifestyle and some practical warningsD．the similarities between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90sCThree q uarters of Britain’s parents are too busy to read bedtime stories to their children，according to a study. The study was carried out by CITV to start their new children’s show Bookaboo，which is designed to encourage anyone to pick up a book and read with their children at any time of the day.Worryingly，the study showed that only three percent of fathers now find the time to read to the kids compared to 89 percent of mothers. Lucy Goodman，creator of Bookaboo，said，“It’s important for young boys to be able to share a book with dads，granddads or male carers and it can be fun and rewarding，too.” Of the dads who said they didn’t read to their kids,87 percent blamed work while more than a third said they were too tired. While 89 percent of mums said they did read to their children，more than half of them said cleaning distracted (使分心) them and 49 percent were distracted by other household things.Researchers also found parents are now relying heavily on other people to lend a hand with reading to their children with grandparents doing the most，followed by sisters and brothers，aunts and uncles. While 95 percent of parents read to their children at some point，only five percent read to their children during the day. More than one in ten said they read every couple of weeks or less，and five percent could not remember the last time they shared a book.The study found parents also seem content with allowing their children to immerse (使沉浸) themselves in TV programs or playing computer games rather than reading.Ex-goalkeeper David Seaman，who is a dad of two，has been a guest in Bookaboo.He says，“I think it’s important that fathers do read to their children because it’s a special time. Sometimes my two children will come to listen to the same book—it’s a magical moment and I adv ise fathers just to try it.”59．We can know from the passage that Bookaboo________.A．is a daily show B．is an adults’ showC．is a popular show D．aims to encourage people to read to their children60．According to the study，fathers don’t r ead to their kids mainly because________.A．they are too busy with work B．they don’t think it necessary to do soC．they are distracted by household things D．they like to play computer games in their free time61．Which group of people helped parents read to the kids the most?A．Aunts and uncles. B．Grandparents. C．Children’s carers.D．Children’s sisters and brothers.62．According to the last paragraph，David Seaman________.A．is a goalkeeper now B．has only one childC．is the creator of Bookaboo D．thinks it is great to read to childrenDOffice workers should know that long periods of sitting at your desk may be a killer. Scientists have shown a new threat from this lifestyle that they call “muscular inactivity (肌肉迟钝)”．Sitting still for long periods of time leads to the buildup of substances (物质) in the blood that are harmful to health. And exercise alone won’t drive them away.Millions of people spend their days between car，office desk and the sofa in front of the TV. While the bad influences are well rocognized，it has been thought that they can be changed by regular trips to the gym or swimming pool.Now researchers say that is not enough. In addition to regular exercise，office workers need to keep movingwhile they work，by making regular trips to the printer，coffee machine or to chat with workmates.Elin Ekblom-Bak，an expert on health，says research shows long periods of sitting and lack (缺乏) of “whole body muscular movement” are strongly linked to obesity，heart disease and cancer，and a higher risk of death，regardless of (不管) whether they take enough exercise.“Everyone knows about the health benefits of regular exercise. But what we haven’t realized before is that long-period sitting down carries an extra risk that cannot be dealt with by taking exercise，” Dr Ekblom-Bak said，adding that sitting still should be recognized as a risk to health.“It is important to have a five-minute break from desk work every 45 minutes. Don’t email workmates—walk across the office to give them the message. Take a coffee break or put the printer in the next room. I am a desk worker and I try to do it. It is not difficult but sometimes you get lost in your work and you forget about it.”However，more studies are needed to confirm the ill effects of sitting for too long and ways of fighting them. But at present they conclude that “keep moving” should be added to the advice to “keep exercising.”63．Nowadays，many office workers wrongly think that________.A．long periods of sitting has bad influences on themB．regular exercise benefits them after long periods of sittingC．they are living a lifestyle called “muscular inactivity”D．it’s unfair for them to sit in the office for too long64．What does the author suggest office workers should do?A．Chat with workmates often. B．Send emails instead of chatting.C．Keep moving in the office regularly. D．Take more exercise after work.65．The last paragraph suggests that the result of the study is________.A．scientific B．uncertain C．unbelievable D．convincing66．What would be the best title for the passage?A．A new threat ：long-period sitting B．Office workers should keep exercisingC．Taking exercise benefits a lot D．Keep moving，it could save your lifeEAs is known to all, colors appear in every language to express people’s feeling and thoughts．Then, what is the situation in American English?Red is a hot color．Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair．They are red hot when they are very angry about something．The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot for their color and their fiery taste．Fast loud music is popular with many people．They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz．Pink is a lighter kind of red．People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health．The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century．It comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health．The color black is often used in expressions．People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day．People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now．But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations．The color green is natural for trees and grass．But it is an unnatural color for humans．A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green．A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green．Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has．That person may say he is green with envy．Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks．Dollars are called greenbacks because green is the color of the back side of the paper money．67．Americans use “red hot” to describe the following EXCEPT _______．A．something unfair B．small hot-tasting peppersC．the person who is very angry D．popular music like Dixieland Jazz68．People use “in the pink” to express they are in good health because _______．A．the expression has a very long history B．the color pink makes people feel happyC．people think the color pink is gentler than red D．healthy babies are born with nice pink skin 69．When we say someone feels a little green, it means he/she _______．A．enjoys himself in boating B．is hit by a high waveC．has a stomachache D．likes trees and grass70．In the writer’s eyes, what is related to a black day?A．Being sent a beautiful gift．B．Passing a very difficult test．C．Failing in an important interview．D．Being invited to an exciting party．第四部分：书面表达（满分50分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
