He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that A．G.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesday—when he was named deputy publisher—was not an article and was not published in The Times，but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新)report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday，Mr.Sulzberger said he saw the innovatio n report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as“a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”．“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，”he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role，Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times' owners.“I recognized the name.”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr.Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean，I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him，and he didn't.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.1．A.G.Sulzberger wrote the“innovation report”mainly to ________.A．urge revolutions in The TimesB．gain the position of deputy publisherC．promote changes in New York CityD．show directions to his family future2．What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?A．Scientific developments.B．Rapid social changes.C．Their own stubbornness.D．Decreasing readers.3．How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?A．By comparing him with others.B．By interviewing him in person.C．By giving examples of his routines.D．By quoting comments from others.4．What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?A．Casual. B．Objective.C．Admirable. D．Critical.【解题导语】本篇文章属于人物介绍类，介绍了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger 对《纽约时报》的重要贡献，还介绍了他提出的“创新报道”理论以及他人对他的评价。

Unit 2 Working the land李仕才一、阅读理解Nowadays a third of primary schoolchildren in China are suffering from psychological ill-health as a result of classroom stress and parental pressure, according to a study published on Tuesday.The problem is so bad that urgent measures are needed, warns the study, led by British and Chinese researchers.The investigation surveyed 2, 191 pupils aged 9 to 12 in nine schools in urban and rural Zhejiang, a relatively prosperous coastal province in eastern China.Eighty-one percent of the youngsters said they worried “a lot” about exams, 63 percent feared being punished by their teachers, 44 percent had been physically bullied at least sometimes—with boys likelier to be victims than girls—and 73 percent had been physically punished by their parents.Most of the children complained they struggled to cope with the amount of homework they were assigned.Over one-third reported headaches or abdominal pains—psychosomatic symptoms of stress—at least once a week. The most stressed children reported incidence of aches or pains of four times a week.The investigation, led by Therese Hesketh, a professor at University College London (UCL) Centre for International Health and Development, pointed the finger at extreme competitiveness i n China’s education system, from the onset of primary school.“The competitive and punitive educational environment leads to high levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms, ” the authors say.“Measures to reduce unnecessary stress on children in school s should be introduced urgently. ”The paper appears in Archives of Disease in Childhood, a peer-reviewed journal of the British Medical Association (BMA).The “urban” setting for the study was Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang, while the “rural” setting was a poor county in Quzhou prefecture, in the west of the province.The study highlights some of the complexities that, it says, explain the demands for academic excellence and intolerance of failure.One factor is the country’s dramatic rise in prosperity, which has created “previously unheard-of possibilities for upward mobility” and in turn stoked pressures on children to do well at school.Other reasons are China’s one-child policy and the Confucian traditions of respect for parents and elders, filial piety, obedience and discipline.“The aspirations of many parents, who had limited educational opportunities themselves are now invested in their only children, ” it says.Previous studies on school-related stress and its impact on health are few and generally come from Scandinavia.A 2008 assessment among 10-to 13-year-old in Sweden found that 21 percent of boys and 30 percent of girls experienced headache, and 17 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls experienced abdominal pain at least once per week.【文章大意】本文是一篇报告。

running around stealing cars.Rather,it’s because of the good-hearted neighbours who want to share their harvest.Especially with this year’s large crop,leaving a car unlocked in my neighbourhood is an invitati on for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫芦).My sister-in-law,Sharon,recently had a good year for tomatoes.She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red.That’s when she decided it was time to shar e her blessings.She started calling everyone she knew.When that failed,she began to ask everyone in the neighbourhood like a politician,eventually finding a neighbour delighted to have the tomatoes.“Feel free to take whatever you want.” Sharon told her.She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later,Sharon answered the door.There was the neighbour,holding some bread.The neighbour smiled pleasantly,“I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes,and I have to ad mit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so.“Oh,but you did,” the neighbour said.“You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sh aron was confused.Zucchini in her garden?They hadn’t even planted any zucchini.But her neighbour insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in Sharon’s garden.Sharon’s curiosity got the better of her and she had to go and see where the zucchini had grown.The two of them walked together into the backyard.When the neighbour pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharon smiled.“Well,actually,those are cucumbers that we never harvested,because they got too big,soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbour looked at Sharon,shock written

1914，Goldberger was asked by US Surgeon General Rupert Blue to study a skin disease that was killing thousands of people in the South.The disease was pellagra(糙皮病)．Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people suffered from pellagra.He studied the victims and their families.Most of the people lived a hard life.The doctor came to believe that the disease didn't pass on from one to another，but was instead related to food.He received permission from the state governor to test this idea at a prison.Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part.One group of prisoners received their usual foods，mostly corn products.A second group ate meat，fresh vegetables and drank milk.Members of the first group developed pellagra.The second group did not.But some medical researchers refused to accept Goldberger's idea.For the South，pellagra was more than simply a medical problem.There were other things，including Southern pride.So Goldberger had himself injected(注射)with blood from a person with pellagra.He also took liquid from the nose and throat of a pellagra patient and put them into his own nose and throat.He even swallowed pills that contained skin from pellagra patients.An assistant also took part in the experiments.So did Goldberger's wife.None of them got sick.Jos eph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929.He was fiftyfive years old.Several years later，researchers discovered the exact cause of pellagra：a lack of vitamin B3known as niacin.1．Who were easy targets of pellagra according to Goldberger?A．People in America.B．People put into prison.C．People having a poor diet.D．People touching pellagra patients.2．What did Goldberger want to prove by the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．Pellagra wasn't so terrible.B．Pellagra didn't spread.C．Pellagra could be cured.D．Pellagra wasn't a medical problem.3．Which words can be used to describe Goldberger?A．Devoted and determined.B．Selfless and friendly.C．Patient and expert.D．Stubborn and enthusiastic.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 2 Working the land一、阅读理解In the dead of winter，we don’t typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health—VitaminD．This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other lifethreatening diseases.The recommended daily requirement is 400－600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D．Even during winter, just a 10minute walk at midday can keep the body’s Vitamin D at healthy levels.During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods.Salmon is one of the best sources of the Vitamin.Egg yolks(蛋黄)，cheese，mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers，food companies add Vitamin D to some of theirmilk products.The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s.At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a deficiency(缺乏)of Vitamin D．It made the children’s bones soft and weak.Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option；Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物)．These products are widely sold in stores.However，anyone considering taking supplements should consult a physician first.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了维生素D的一些情况。

I think the gover nment wants to be seen to be making things better through this plan but I don't know how much effect it will really have. ”Edwards in Dubai adds :" There are a lot of issues here around job in security, workplace discrim in ati on, high rents and expe nsive school fees, so if those were dealt with, we'd all be happier, but overall, happ in ess is not just up to the gover nmen t, it's also up to in dividuals and their own min dsets. ”【文章大意】阿拉伯联合酋长国采取措施，致力于提升人们的幸福感，人们对此有不同的看法。

8. What does the UAE government intend to do?A．Create a perfect society.B．Build a happier country.C．Promote international trades.D．Show its status in the world.答案与解析：B'考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“ Curre ntly ranked 28th...the UAE wants to sit within the top five by 2021. ‘We seek t o create a society where ourpeople's happiness is primary '”可知，阿拉伯联合酋长国在2016 年联合国发布的世界幸福报告中排在第28位，它想在2021 年之前进入前五名，因此该国政府在采取措施，致力于提升人们的幸福感，即打造一个更幸福的国度。

1. What is one of the measures the UAE takes?A．Hold happiness seminars for civil servants.B．Give government agencies new names.C．Look through people's online posts.D．Change the daily language.答案与解析：A' 考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“ Since the new minister took office, people working in the civil service have attended a series of happiness seminars to learn more about the plan. ”可知，新总理上台之后，公务员参加了一系列有关幸福的研讨会以更多地了解这项计划，故选A。

2. What does the underlined word “ gimmick ” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Improvement. B．Principle.C．Transformation. D ．Trick.答案与解析：D'考查词义猜测。

根据倒数第二段中的"it's a bit of a publicrelations... ”和其后的“ I think the government wants to be seen to be making things better through this plan but I don't know how much effect it will really have. ”可知，Sonia Edwards认为政府此举意在通过这个计划让人们看到他们正在使事情变得更好，但她不知道这个计划究竟会有多大效果，故可以推断她认为此举是公共关系的花招，是在作秀。

3. What might Meik Wiking and Edwards both agree with?A．The government misses the point.B．Happiness is somewhat subjective.C．Policy makers count as to people's well-being.D．The effects of the happiness plan are uncertain.答案与解析：C' 考查推理判断。

由第三段中的“ governments can and should play a rolein public happiness ‘ The aim of public policy should be to improve the quality oflife for people '”和最后一段中的 Edwards 所说的话尤其是“ if those were dealt with, we'd all be happier, but overall, happiness is not just up to the government”可知，他们可能都赞同的是，政策制定者在人们的幸福方面起着重要作用。

BRecent months have seen a revival of the humble( an increasing number of people choosing pedaling( toworkplaces or to do sightseeing.

Now, Chinese service operators are also trying to address these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior.
