As the phrase goes, sometimes you do have to ―stop and smell the roses‖.Although you may think that this is just a fancy way of saying taking some time to enjoy life, perhaps we have ignored roses for too long. Seriously, you should pay more attention to those roses. They could greatly improve your life. That is, if you are one of the millions of people in the US who suffer from arthritis（关节炎）diseases.Result from two different arthritis studies have proved that an active ingredient of rose hips has been shown to protect and possibly rebuild joint tissue broken down by arthritis. The latest results, presented at the World Conference in Rome showed that protein GOPO(R) found in rose hips can protect vulnerable cartilage（软骨）. GOPO(R) has also been shown to improve mood, increase energy and sleep quality of those affected by arthritis. Marked by stiffness, swelling, loss of flexibly and pain, arthritis can significantly stop one from a normal life.―We have little doubt that certain rose hip preparations, and GOPO(R) in particular, have had an important role to play in re ducing the pain and disability caused by arthritis,‖ said Winther.With the aid of this new research, those affected by joint pain caused by arthritis could choose an alternative treatment than pain killers. ―We suspect that more people will be turning to the power of rose-hip for joint pain relief,‖ said Winther.Sorry Shakespeare, but in this case, no other rose could smell as sweet.29. The author asks us to pay more attention to roses because_______.A. roses can represent love and lifeB. roses have some unknown usesC. we are so busy as to ignore rosesD. roses are very sweet30. Protein GOPO(R) found in rose hips can do all the following EXCEPT_____.A. improving sleep quality of normal peopleB. improving moodC. protecting vulnerable cartilageD. improving the life of those affected by arthritis31. The last paragraph of the passage is used to _____.A. doubt ShakespeareB. laugh at ShakespeareC. stress the importance of rosesD. further explain the smell of roses32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Roses, Symbol of Love and LifeB. Roses, the Center of PraiseC. In Pain? Stop and Smell the RosesD.Sorry Shakespeare, No Other Rose Could Smell as SweetDA new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China—―tuhao‖—which loosely means ―nouveau riche‖. There have been more than 100 million references to the word ―tuhao‖ on social media since early September.It‘s being used to describe everything from the new p eople‘s daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of millionaires, and the new gold-colored iPhone.In Chinese ―tu‖ means earth and ―hao‖ means rich. To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quickly—but don‘t quite have the manners to go along with it. ―It‘s like the term ‗nouveau riche‘‖, says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham, ―but has even more negative meanings,suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).‖―Tuhao‖ is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty—1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry(乡绅)who would often do bad things to those beneath them.This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. The monk replies instead with a sentence, ―Tuhao, let‘s be friends!‖Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses China‘s changing society so well—many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.33. What is the best title of the passage?A. Tuhao, a newly popular word in ChinaB. The long history of TuhaoC. The new usage of TuhaoD. Tuhao, a newly-invented Chinese word34. The last but one paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. what the new usage of the word isB. how the word becomes popular againC. why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monkD. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man35. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A. Respect.B. Envy.C. Laugh.D. Disbelieve.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Writing a news article is different from wiring other articles or informational pieces, because news articles present information in a specific way. ____36_____ And additionally you can exercise your writing skills and convey information clearly and concisely.1.
