1. If you asked people what the most important invention has been,many would saythe printing press.Others 1 say the wheel.But even though it’s 2 whether theappearance of the printing press affected the course of history more than thewheel，the printing press 3 within the top two or three inventions in history.4 the telephone，the television,the radio，and the computer,the written word was the only way to5 ideas to people too far away to talk with.Until the 6th or 7th century,all books had to be written 6.Creating a book was difficult，and very few existed.Therefore，very few people read books.In the 6th and 7th centuries，the Chinese invented a way to print pages by 7 characters and pictures on wooden，ivory，or clay blocks.They would print a page from the block by putting 8 on the block and pressing paper onto the ink.This 9 is called letterpress printing.The invention of letterpress printing was a great advance in communication 10 each block could be inked many times and many copies of each page could be made.Many books could now be made.Therefore，many people could read the same book.(1).(A). might(B). ought to(C). had to(D). should答案：A(2).(A). variable(B). agreeable(C). reliable(D). debatable答案：D(3).(A). lists(B). ranges(C). ranks(D). covers答案：C(4).(A).

1. The American population was the tallest in the world from about the American Revolution to World WarⅡ—that’s a long time.The U.S.had a very resourcerich environment，with game，fish and wildlife.In fact we have data on disadvantaged people in America,such as slaves.They were obviously among the most mistreated populations in the world，but given the resource abundance，and given the fact that the slave owners needed their work,they had to be fed relatively decently.So the slaves were taller than European peasants.It’s no wonder that Europeans were just flooding to America.Americans today are no longer the tallest people in the world.After WorldWarⅡ，many Western and Northern European countries began to adopt favorable social policies.There is universal health insurance in most of these societies—that,of course，makes a difference in health care.You can also consider income inequality in the U.S., since people who are at the low end of the totem pole(图腾柱)have considerable adversity making ends meet.I suspect the difference in height between Americans and Europeans is due to both diet and health care.Americans today suffer from an additional problem：obesity.If children are too well nourished，then they’re not able to grow optimally.There are certain hormones that control the start of the adolescent growth and the start of adolescence．Nutrition is one of the factors，along with genetic and hormonal ones which are associated with the start of puberty(青春期)．And if puberty comes too early，then the youth will peak out sooner,and will not become as tall in adulthood as someone who had better nutrition．Also,the overload of carbohydrates and fats in a fastfood diet may hinder the consumption of micronutrients essential to growth．(1). The word "game" in(line 2，para.1)refers to.(A). animals hunted for food(B). rich natural resources(C). activities played by kids(D). sports events to be held答案：A(2). Slaves in America were taller than European peasants because.(A). they were badly treated(B). they did not do farm work(C). they had sufficient food to eat(D). they enjoyed better health care答案：C(3). It is implied in the second paragraph that.(A). Europeans could make more money than Americans(B). average Americans used to be shorter than Europeans(C). welfare helps Europeans grow taller than Americans(D). people on the totem pole are leading a comfortable life答案：C(4). According to the third paragraph,overweight children in the U.S..(A). tend to have better nutrition for growth(B). tend to eat more food to grow taller(C). will grow taller than average children(D). will fail to grow into an ideal height答案：D(5). Eating too much fast food may affect.(A). the absorption of micronutrients(B). the intake of carbohydrates(C). the consumption of hormones(D). the digestion of fats答案：A2. Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka are a young Japanese couple living in the USA while Yoshio studies electrical engineering．They clearly love each other verydeeply,but，says Yoshio，“We didn’t marry for love in the Western sense.We got married in the timehonoured Japanese way．Our parents arranged our marriage through a matchmaker．In Japan we believe that marriage is something that affects the whole family，not just the young couple concerned.So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background，education and so on．Matchmakers are usually middleaged women who keep lists of suitable young people with information about their families，education and interests.When our parents thought it was time for us to get married they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions．We discussed the details and looked at the photos she sent，and then our parents asked her to arrange a ‘marriage interview’ for the two of us．”A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place，such as a hotel or restaurant,and is attended by the boy and the girl，their parents and the matchmaker．Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea and a meal．Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to know each other．When they return home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they want to meet again or not．If both of them want a second meeting， the matchmaker arranges it，and after that they can decide whether to carry on the courtship themselves．Here Hiromi said with a gentle smile，“Not so long ago，the girl could never refuse to go out again with a boy who liked her,but now she can. I thought Yoshio was really nice，so I didn’t refuse．”Yoshio continued：“When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding．My family paid the ‘Yuino’money toHiromi’s．This money is to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up house afterwards．We also gave her family a beautiful ornament to put in the best room of their house，so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry. Six months after our first meeting we were married.A traditional Japanese wedding is a wonderful ceremony,and our traditional custom of arranged marriage has given me a wonderful wife．”(1). The Japanese think marriage is important because.(A). it is expensive to hire a matchmaker(B). it is timeconsuming to match people(C). it concerns the couple and their families as well(D). it is hard to get the approval of the couples parents答案：C(2). After a marriage interview,the second meeting will be decided by.(A). the boys parents(B). the matchmaker(C). the young couple(D). the girls parents答案：B(3). It is implied in the second paragraph that.(A). a good hotel can bring about a good marriage(B). men used to be dominant in choosing a partner(C). women played a leading role in choosing a partner(D). a marriage interview settles all marriage arrangements答案：B(4). Yoshio thinks that the traditional Japanese marriage is.(A). costly(B). satisfying(C). complex(D). outdated答案：B(5). This passage is mainly about.(A). the process of an arranged Japanese marriage(B). a wedding ceremony in a Japanese fashion(C). conventional marriage and modern marriage(D). the role of matchmakers in arranging marriages答案：A3. College-bound American high school students usually have some combination of parents，teachers，guidance counselors，or peers to support them in the tough process of applying to and beginning college.Unfortunately，adults who want to go to college—particularly adults who have been out of school for a long time—generally have no such support system.“Adults have a much harder time starting out in college because，unlike regular students，they have adult obligations—raising children and working full time—that often conflict with the demands of school，”says Deepa Rao，a World Education expert.“Also，adults who have been out of school for a long time may not be academically prepared for collegelevel work.Some have little exposure to technologies like email and Internet research,which are an increasing part of college communication and courses.They may be unaware of available resources，such as financial aid,tutoring centers or mentoring programs，and may be unfamiliar with terms such as ‘bursar’and‘prerequisite.’And if you don’t know where to begin or what to do once you do get there，it’s easy to get overwhelmed and simply give u p.”The challenges that working adults face when going to college inspired Deepa to develop a web page and website as part of World Education’s National College Transition Network(NCTN)，an online forum for technical assistance，news,and helpful resources for educators，policy makers，and others interested in adult learning.The new website is a counterpart(对应物)to the NCTN，set up to guide adults who are considering college through the process of applying to and succeeding in school. The website is arranged like a college campus，with‘buildings’representing thesort of departments and classrooms housed on a college campus.Each buildingcontains‘classes’that describe the admissions process，where to look for grants and scholarships，and lists resources，where an outofpractice student can review reading，writing，and math.There are also lists of advice and resources to help students with their college life.Another helpful aspect of thisinteractive,multimedia site is its audio capacity：all texts can be read to the visitor.This particular feature is especially helpful for people with visual problems or learning disabilities.The cycle of learning runs from cradle to grave，and World Education works to break down barriers to education for people of all ages，all over the world.(1). According to the passage，working adults find it difficult to start their college education because.(A). they are too busy and academically unprepared(B). they have been out of school for quite a long time(C). tutoring resources in college are unavailable to them(D). they do not have enough money for further education答案：A(2). The comparison between adult students and regular students shows that.(A). the latter are less prepared than the former(B). the latter have more problems than the former(C). the former have more problems than the latter(D). the former are no less prepared than the latter答案：C(3). The purpose of the website is to.(A). help adult students edit web pages(B). provide adult students with guidance(C). solve financial problems of adult students(D). enable students to repair computers by themselves答案：B(4). The newly created website provides programs.(A). for regular college students only(B). for students interested in websites(C). for students including the disabled(D). for educators interested in adult learning答案：C(5).

Farms Appear in CitiesWhen you hear the word‘‘farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.（1）But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.It may be difficult to believe but in fact the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. （2）Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.（3）Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farmingtakes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings-called vertical farming（垂直农业）can solve the problem.（4）Also, and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.（6）Though vertical farms don't exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.（7）But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.（8）They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.（9）For example. Some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.T hat’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.（10）1.The word “farm” may make you think of the countryside.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：A解析：根据第一段第一句“When you hear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.”关键词“imagine the countryside”，可知看到农场这个词会想起乡村。

Many companies have set up nap rooms with beds, blankets and alarm clocks because they have recognized that most of their employees do not have enough sleep. If labor unions are truly interested in worker welfare , they should make such facilities a necessary item in contract negotiation. A brief nap makes people feel refreshed and relaxed. If workers take advantage of the opportunity to sleep for twenty minutes or so during the workday, they can go back to work with renewed enthusiasm and energy. Dr. Linda Pitt, for example, often manages to take a ten-minute nap between patient. She says that this respite helps her focus better on each patient’ s problems. Also, there are companies that encourage their employees to take naps. They find that napping reduces accidents and errors and increases productivity, even if it shortens the workday a bit. A recent NASA study showed that twenty-four-minute naps greatly improved a pilot’ s alertness and performance on long-distance flights. Studies have found that sleepy workers make more mistakes and cause more accidents. They are more likely to have heart attacks and other physical disorders. Dr. David Jones, a sleep researcher at Harvard, explained that the brain becomes less active when it fails to get enough sleep. It has been proved that lack of sleep affects attention and performance. It often leads to “microsleeps”, that is, involuntary lapses into sleep. These “microsleeps” often cause accidents. He suggested taking a “power nap” during the day to prevent the effects of sleep loss. “Naps greatly strengthen the ability to pay close attention to details and to make critical decisions, “ added Dr. Jones. He also stated that “a nap taken about eight hours after you wake can do much more for you than if you add those twenty minutes onto already adequate sleep at night. “21．According to the writer, many companies now______.A．start to negotiate with employeesB．set up labor unions for employeesC．provide nap rooms for employeesD．provide paid leaves for employees正确答案：C22．The underlined word “respite”(para. 2)probably means_____.A．testB．caseC．ideaD．break正确答案：D23．By taking a “power nap” , one can avoid_____.A．heart attacksB．possible accidentsC．brain diseasesD．physical disorders正确答案：B24．According to Dr. Jones, people benefit a lot from____.A．taking naps regularlyB．paying attention to detailsC．making good choicesD．sleeping eight hours a day正确答案：A25．The tone of the writer is_____.A．objectiveB．sympatheticC．emotionalD．understanding正确答案：AJudging from business profits, we should be enjoying a powerful economic recovery. During the depression, profits dropped by about 30%. But now profits grow every day. In the first quarter of this year, profits have recovered 87% of what they lost in the depression depression. When second—quarter results ate out, profits may rise above their previous peak. The recovery in profits should be a good sign. It makes companies more aggressive. They have a huge amount of money and ate able to do whatever they want-hire, make new investments, raise salaries. Historically, higher profits lead to higher employment. Yet, except for new companies, loss-makingcompanies don’t create new jobs. So far, the contrast between recovered profits and small job growth is surprising. Last year, employment dropped 3. 3 million. Since then, the economy has recovered only 11% of those lost jobs. Companies ate doing much better than workers; that’ s a characteristic of today’ s a characteristic of today’ s economy. The most obvious explanation is that the relationship between labor and capital has changed. Capital has become stronger, labor has become weaker. The situation has made business managers eager to cut costs in depressions and unwilling to hire workers early in recoveries. Reducing the number of employees is the quickest way to recover profits. The big job cuts in this depression should not have been surprising. With the breakdown of the financial system, companies had to do everything they can to save money , because they couldn’ t rely on outside money. So they cut jobs and new investment projects. Last year, business investment dropped 26%. Nothing like that had happened since the 1940s. However, there ate some good signs. Many companies have started to replace their old equipment. This can create new jobs. General Electric says its research budget is up 18% and it supports new product development. But it’ s not clear whether business leaders were so scared by the crisis that they’ ve become extremely cautious. That is bad. If labor is scared and capital is overcautious, the recovery must suffer.26．The passage shows the economy is getting better as profits have___.A．almost doubledB．recovered steadilyC．reached a new highD．made up for the losses正确答案：B27．According to paragraph 2, in the past, increased profits led to an increase in____.A．investmentB．jobsC．new companiesD．salaries正确答案：B28．To recover profits quickly, business managers often choose to____.A．reduce employmentB．increase work hoursC．Increase productivityD．move into new areas正确答案：A29．The writer seems to think of the big job cuts in this depression as______.A．shockingB．avoidableC．confusingD．acceptable正确答案：D30．The writer thinks a real economic recovery requires___.A．patienceB．experienceC．confidenceD．intelligence正确答案：CIn last week’s Science, a group of leading investigators led by John Beddington, the chief science adviser for the British government, published a call warning climate change has become a growing threat to agricultural production and food security. In other words, the potential risks to fanning are another reason why we need to reduce the carbon in the air. And the fact that the climate is already changing, and will continue to change, means that we also need to start adapting agriculture to a warmer world immediately. How exactly could climate change lower our ability to feed ourselves? Warming alone could do it, with already hot and dry places—like the American Southwest or the Horn of Africa—predicted to become hotter and drier. The terrible droughts that have affected Texas and East Africa lead to an extreme shortage of food in the latter case. While additional carbon in the air may help some plants, warmer temper temperatures can also slow down growth, so extreme heat could lead to greater crop loss. It’s not just drought, though; rain at the wrong time can be extremely bad for agriculture as well. That was obvious during the great floods in Pakistan in 2010, which not only killed thousands of people but also washed away crops. Those losses helped drive food prices to record highs during the past year, a level from which they’re only now beginning to drop. As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more water, which means we can expect heavier storms when the rain does fall. Warming isn’t the only threat to our ability to feed ourselves. It acts together with rising population and other factors. That’ s why scientists ate calling for more joint research as the first step to adapting agriculture to climate change. “The window of opportunity to prevent a climate crisis is rapidly closing, and we need better information and tools to balance how we grow our food and use our resources, “ says Molly Jahn, dean of College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin. If we hope to live well in a warmer world, we have no other choice.31．John Beddington says more carbon in the air will be a threat to_____.

Farms Appear in CitiesWhen you hear the word‘‘farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.（1）But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.It may be difficult to believe but in fact the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. （2）Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.（3）Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings-called vertical farming（垂直农业）can solve the problem.（4）Also, and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.（6）Though vertical farms don't exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gasesfrom crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.（7）But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.（8）They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.（9）For example. Some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.（10）1.The word “farm” may make you think of the countryside.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：A解析：根据第一段第一句“When you hear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.”关键词“imagine the countryside”，可知看到农场这个词会想起乡村。
