Australia －more than two hundred years old, a nation that is still growing.Its big cities lie on the southeast coa st, this is where most Australians live. Australians prefer to own their own houses, though some live in apartments. Australians are a suburban people. The suburbs surround the cities for many miles, and so efficient transport is of great importance. As the economy grows, so do its industries- a higher level of production, a wider range of products.The Australian works hard, but he likes his leisure. The climate makes outdoor activities the most popular.Canberra, the capital of Australia, is a planned modem city located inland. Australia is governed by a parliamentary democracy. The representatives of othercountries have their embassies here. Australia wants to strengthen relations with her neighbors.Australia is a strange land, a land of vast expanses- fertile valleys, snow fields and deserts- also a land with unique animal, many that can not be found on any other continent in the world today.Much of the continent is dry, but man has utilized the land, made it productive, with its tools, with its technology. This is the driest continent of all, and water is a precious possession, more precious than all other natural resources. Large dams are built to collect the water, there to irrigate the fields of pastures and crops.But Australia is changing. The land of wool and wheat is now a land of large-scale industry and mining. The costs of developing the new mineral discoveries are enormous, but the rewards are great too.Australia — a young and developing nation. Australia — a nation that wants to communicate with its neighbors.56.Australia is an island located ______ of Asia and its big cities lie ____ ofthe coast.A. to the south; on the southeastB. to the north; on the southwestC. to the east; on the northeastD. to the east; on the southwest57. We can infer from the passage that the Australian likes outdoor activities for the _____ climate.A. dull and wetB. fine and shinyC. gloomy and rainyD. wet and cold58.____ is the most precious source in Australia.A. Mineral resourceB. AnimalC. DesertD. Water59.Which of the following statements about Australia is wrong?A. Australians are a suburban peopleB. Australia is governed by a parliamentary democracy.C. Australia prefers to live in the downtown of big cities.D. Wool and wheat used to be the main products of Australia.BInfluenza (流行性感冒)has been with us a long, time. According to some Greek writers on medical history, the outbreak of 412 BC was of influenza. The same has been suggested of the sickness that swept through the Greek army attacking Syracuse in 395 BC. Flu is a disease that moves most quickly among people living in crowded conditions, hence it is likely to attack armies.In April 1918, flu broke out among American troops stationed in France. It quickly spread through all the armies but caused relatively few deaths. Four months later, however, a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer. It killed not only the old and already sick but also healthy young adults. It went through every country in the world, only a few distant islands in the South Atlantic and the Pacific remaining untouched. Before the great outbreak ended, it had killed at least 15 million people.Medical science is still not certain what hit us in 1918. The virus of influenza (流感病毒) was not found until 1933, so all that today can be said about the 1918 outbreak is the kind of antibodies it produced.The first big advance was also made in 1933, then a team of British doctors found the type A influenza virus. In 1940, a doctor of the United States found type B. Later type C was found, along with many subgroups of type A and B. Vaccines (疫苗) were prepared and used widely by the armies during the Second World War to prevent outbreaks.The flu virus proved trickier (奸诈) than most. A vaccine good against one type gave a protection against another. Indeed type A virus changes its nature so quickly that a perfectly good vaccine may lose its value because of the change. This increases the need for the speedy discovery of flu outbreaks, so that stocks(家畜) of the right vaccine can be prepared quickly after an outbreak. Starting such a warning system was one of the first things done by the World Health Organization.60.Why is influenza easier to attack armies?A. Because it moves very quickly.B. Because it spread through Greek army long ago .C. Because it spread through the crowded most quickly.D. Because an army moves more often61.How many types of influenza have been found excluding subgroups?A. One type.B. Two types.C. Three types.D. Four types62.How many people were killed in the flu outbreak of 1918?A. One million.B. Several million.C. Seven millionD. Fifteen million.63.Which of the following is true according to the passage you have just read?A. Before 1936 people didn’t know what caused influenza.B. A Group of American doctors first discovered the types of influenzaC. All kinds of vaccine can not prevent every kind of influenza virus.D. The earliest outbreak of disease mentioned happened in the year 412 BC.CIt is matter of common observation that although money incomes keep going up over years, we never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is named one of inflation（通货膨胀）;the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have grown used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications (迹象) are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real word our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices, one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money—stability（坚固性）of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes unsuitable standard of deferred(延期的) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset (财产),so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates (刺激) consumer spending, and prevents saving.64.Over the years, our incomes have been increasing, and we _______.A. seem to be well off at a quicker rateB. are actually no better, if not worse, in our financial conditionC. can afford to buy more of the things that we wantD. have managed to keep prices down65.Inflation is a situation in which ________.A. we can watch our money increase in is valueB. employment no longer becomes a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value66.If incomes and prices together, people might think that ________.A. there will be no more market fluctuations（波动）B. money will hold its valueC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. inflation causes no problem67.In a period of inflation, people are likely to _______.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother to saveDDon’t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands --- Maui, L anai, the Big Island --- but leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable (不可预测的) that sometimes it rains all day --- in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere els e. You just can’t control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender (屈服) to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys？Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree (红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit.Shopping in Kauai? Forget it --- unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It’s about going natural and finding the nature within you. It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.Don’t go to Kauai unless you hav e a lot of time, because there’s only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro (芋头) fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.If you’re not interested in color, don’t bother with Kauai, because that’s what you get --- red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It’s like diving on land. Many people on Kauai believe that this is Lemuria --- a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agars,and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life --- what do they know, anyway? Forget about it --- you’re not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.68. After reading the text, we come to know that it is _____.A. a piece of sho cking newsB. an exciting storyC. an interesting introductionD. a moving advertisement69. It can be learned from the text that _____.A. Kauai is an island near the Hawaiian IslandsB. Kauai is another name of the Hawaiian IslandsC. Kauai is one of the Hawaiian IslandsD. Kauai does not belong to the Hawaiian Islands70. In the writer’s real opinion, Kauai _____.A. is not worth visiting at allB. is well worth visitingC. is not a beautiful islandD. is a dangerous island71. Who would like to visit Kauai?A. Those who love nature.B. Those who love city life.C. Those who love the comfort in a fine hotel.D. Those who love going shopping.EPeople can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things —e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的): they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式), charge accounts are even more ex citing than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. Th ey consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use amethod called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve theirpersonality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.72. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends largeamounts of money _____.A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buysB. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in lifeC. just to meet his or her strong psychological needD. and feels he or she is cheated73. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people’s spendinghabits to increase sales.C. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better thanscientists do.D. Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.74. What is the text mainly about?A. The psychology of money-spending habits.B. The habits of compulsive spenders.C. A special psychology of bargain hunting.D. The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.75. From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsivebargain hunters _____.A. are really unreasonableB. need special treatmentC. are really beyond drugsD. can never get any help to solve their problems with money阅读表达阅读下面短文，然后用简洁的语言回答文后5个问题。

What can be more challenging is giving teenagers their freedom. It can be difficult to draw the line between the two. However, some issues cannot be changed by discussion and require firm rules. For instance, rules should be established concerning driving the family car.I will admit that I have no problem coming up with rules. To me they make life easier and they leave no room for questioning. What can be more difficult, however, is giving my teens their freedom. I guess there are really two primary reasons for this. One is that I sometimes am afraid togive them freedom. The second is that I'm not always so sure what the freedom should be.It helps that I have a husband with whom I can discuss these problems. We talk about them, give our thoughts and then we come up with an agreement. Sometimes one of us might be more unwilling but we know that there comes a time when we really do have to learn how to let go of the reins (缰绳) a bit.If we try to make life have nothing but rules, we are more likely to see our teen's rebelling (反抗). They need to know that while we do have certain expectations, we also trust them to begin making their own choices and decisions. How else can they do that unless they are given the space and room to do it?It's really all about balance and I will be the first to admit that it can be a challenge to carry out. However, it is a necessary part of growing up. Yes, teens definitely need rules but they also need freedom.31. According to the first paragraph, it is difficult to decide .A. whether the children need rulesB. whether the children should be given freedomC. how much freedom should be given to childrenD. what issues require non-negotiable rules32. According to the text, we can infer that the author .A. refuses to give her children freedomB. finds it difficult to make rulesC. doesn't have a good relationship with her childrenD. has trouble in giving freedom to her children33. According to the author, only rules without freedom will make the children .A. strong-willedB. rebelliousC. weakD. independent34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Rules are difficult to make for parents.B. Rules and freedom are similarly important.C. We should give children freedom as much as possible.D. Rules are more important than freedom.BIf there ever was a study that people shouldn't get too little sleep, it's this one. People deprived (剥夺) of a good night's rest are more likely to experience changes in brain activity that can increase the urge to eat high-calorie foods.Matthew Walker at the University of California in Berkeley and his colleagues conducted the first study of brain activity in relation to food among sleep-deprived people. The team used fMRI (功能磁共振成像) to study brain patterns of 23 people, first after a night of peaceful sleep and then after a night without sleep.Sleep deprivation reduced activity in three areas of the brain that helps process flavor signals. It also led to more activity in the amygdala (扁桃腺), which helps govern the motivation for eating. The team also found that volunteers considered the pictures of high-calorie foods more desirable after no sleep than after a good rest.When the researchers compared people allowed to sleep as much as they wished with those who slept just two-thirds of their normal time, they found that sleep deprivation had direct effects oneating behavior. “When people were sleep deprived, they ate an extra 549 calories per day,”say the researchers.“It may make evolutionary sense,”says Laurent Brondel at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France. The long summer days at higher latitudes deprive animals of sleep, but animals use their time awake to eat more, which helps them get through the short days of winter when there is not enough food.“That's only part of the story, though,”says Stephanie Greer, another member of the team. The body does need more energy if someone remains awake for longer, but the high-calorie foods that become more desirable after sleep deprivation would more than meet this additional need. The changes in food desirability encouraged by the sleep-deprived brain may originally have been important adaptation but today they no longer benefit our health.Brondel agrees with this conclusion. “Sleep deprivation could, by an unknown mechanism, modify the pleasant sensation and change eating behavior,”he says. Whatever the mechanism is, there's one clear message from the study. “These findings provide opportunities to adjust our behavior in new ways to handle such health issues,”says Greer. “Specifically, our study indicates that one choice people can make is to regularly obtain enough amounts of sleep.”35. Matthew Walker conducted the study on sleep-deprived people to _____.A. learn more about sleep patternsB. warn of the danger of high-calorie foodsC. show the importance of getting enough restD. find the relation between brain activity and food36. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. sleep-deprived people lost the motivation for eatingB. sleep deprivation sped up the processing of flavor signalsC. sleep deprivation had effects on the appetite for high-calorie foodsD. sleep-deprived people were uninterested in the pictures of tasty food37. Which of the following is the correct cause-and-effect relationship?A. Sleep deprivation →Eating behavior →Brain activityB. Sleep deprivation →Brain activity →Eating behaviorC. Brain activity →Sleep deprivation →Eating behaviorD. Eating behavior →Brain activity →Sleep deprivation38. What does the author mean by saying “That's only part of the story”in Paragraph 6?A. High-calorie foods can provide extra energy.B. Sleep deprivation is not good for human health.C. Sleep-deprived people are in need of more energy.D. Sleep deprivation is helpful in the evolution of animals.CPersonal growth can be understood in a variety of ways. Type “personal growth”into a book search and you will find thousands of books to choose from to help you reach your full potential. It's so easy to treat personal development as something that is optional and so few people ever take the time to actively improve themselves. On the other hand, you may have been developing as a person, but never consider it as something that can be named.Personal growth and self-development are some of the most important activities you can do.Rather than regarding this as a selfish act, working on yourself to become a better person benefits those around you, as well as those in your community and workplace.Many of your actions may already be fit for “self-improvement”. This self-improvement, however, is mostly unconscious and for most people it's a case of pursuing “things”and “stuff”with the all-too-common assumption that when we get enough stuff, we will be happy. You don't have to search too far to find how wrong this theory is.Every day we read about seemingly successful people, those who “have it all”and find themselves in a chain of unhappy relationships or life events, which sadly end in tragedy. Charles Atlas, the famous body builder, said, “True success lies in the development of the self.”This is a surprising philosophy (哲理) for someone who spent his life developing the physique (体格). Materially, we may be wealthy or poor, but if your inner life is not fulfilled, you will feel out of balance with the rest of your life and may try to make for this by seeking substance elsewhere —alcohol, over-working, drugs and unhealthy relationships.What does my true self look like when I take away my house, car, etc.? Note down your goals as a person. Do you recall what they were 10, 20, or even 30 years ago? Have they changed or got lost on the way? Now imagine yourself as an older person. What do you want to look like, sound like and feel like? Is this OK with you or would you like to change this picture? Answering these questions will give you clues regarding where you could work on your personal growth. Personally speaking, I see my own personal growth as developing my creativity and spirituality, while building a healthy body as my 40s progress. It sounds like a big task, but I break this down to bite-sized pieces, such as making some specific changes in eating and exercise patterns, going to a yoga class, picking up one of my many unused paintbrushes and just painting something rather than taking an art school course, and suddenly that's achievable.Set out your goals, first steps and plan of where and how you are going to carry them out. Get the support of a friend or family member to encourage you and review your progress every three months or so to keep you on track. Just start with small but meaningful changes that you notice, and if it feels strange, remember that change often does. Remember you're making these changes for long-term personal gain, so it's quite natural to feel a little uncomfortable at first, but be persistent, review your plan and adapt. This is your plan for growth, which can be changed and adapted to your circumstances.39. As for the self-improvement, .A. most people do it well in their daily lifeB. most people in fact regard it as a selfish actC. most people consider it means building a healthy lifeD. most people think it is trying to achieve enough stuff40. According to the passage, a real successful person is one .A. who has spent his life doing businessB. who does feel happy in his inner worldC. who has gathered a great amount of wealthD. who has made friends with many famous people41. How does the author develop his personal growth?A. He is always imagining himself as an old person.B. He spares his time to take an art school course.C. He improves himself both in creativity and spirituality.D. He manages to collect many second-hand paintbrushes.42. We can conclude from the passage that .A. personal growth is important in our lifeB. most people don't believe personal growthC. the author is the most successful manD. personal growth determines your goalsDWe will one day be able to talk to animals using cellphone-sized equipment, says a leading expert in animal behavior. Professor Slobodchikoff is developing new technology that translates the calls of the prairie dog (草原犬鼠) and says the technology can be used to translate other animals' “languages”. He also suggested that the technology could one day be improved to enable humans to talk back to animals.In an interview, Professor Slobodchikoff explained he was using the new artificial intelligence (AI) software to record the calls of prairie dogs. He was then using the AI techniques to analyze the barks and translate them into English.He explained that from his research, he knew that prairie dogs warn other members of the group about potential dangers in great detail —even describing a threat as being “a thin, brown wolf approaching quickly”.The professor, who had spent the past 30 years analyzing the behavior of animals, added, “I think the equipment we are developing will allow us to talk to our dogs and cats. So the dog says ‘bark!' and the equipment analyzes it and says, ‘I want to eat chicken tonight.' Or the cat can say ‘meow', and the equipment says, ‘You haven't cleaned my litter box recently.'”He predicted that it would take between five and ten years of wide-ranging research to get to this point.He believed that if such technology became a reality, it would change the world. Consider that 40 percent of all households in America have dogs, 33 percent have cats. And consider that four million dogs are killed every year because of the problems of behavior. Most problems are caused by the lack of communication between animals and human beings. Human beings can't get across to animals what they expect, and animals can't get across to human beings what they are experiencing. If we had a chance to talk back and forth, the dog could say, “You're scaring me.”And you could say, “Well, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was scaring you. I'll give you more space.”“What I'm hoping, actually, is that down the road, we will form partnerships with animals rather than exploit (利用) them,”Professor Slobodchikoff said. He added that many people are afraid of animals or they have nothing to do with them because they don't think that animals have anything to contribute to their lives.He says, once people are able to talk to animals, they will realize that animals are living, breathing, thinking beings, and that they have much to contribute to people's lives.Previous attempts to help human understand animals include the BowLingual. The Japanese equipment claims to translate barks from dozens of different breeds (品种) of dogs. The equipment was successful enough to be brought to the American market. But reports of the BowLingual's accuracy have been mixed, with popular product-review website Epinions giving it a low 1.5 star average. Later the same company developed a following product for cats called Meowlingual although this was less successful.43. Professor Slobodchikoff is developing the new technology by .A. recording prairie dogs' barks with a tape recorderB. talking to prairie dogs using cellphone-sized equipmentC. teaching prairie dogs to speak English via advanced softwareD. recording and analyzing prairie dogs' barks with AI technology44. What does the underlined part “this point”in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. Detailed analysis of animals' behaviors.B. Effective communication between dogs and cats.C. Humans using the equipment to talk with dogs and cats.D. Humans using AI technology to communicate with all animals.45. According to the passage, Professor Slobodchikoff expects people to .A. make full use of animalsB. treat animals as good partnersC. experience what dogs must experienceD. contribute a lot to the protection of animals46. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Humans aren't able to talk to animals now.B. Some people think the Bowlingual is not very accurate.C. Professor Slobodchikoff has full confidence in his research.D. Large quantities of dogs are killed due to the increase in number.EGlaciers in the Alps of Europe pose a scientific mystery. In a span of about 50 years, some of the biggest glaciers retreated more than half a mile. But nobody could explain the glaciers' rapid decline.Scientists trying to understand Europe's climate for the past several hundred years have turned to the glaciers in the Alps because they kept records of temperature and precipitation (降雨量) during that time.“If you look back through the 1600s and the 1700s, the glaciers were big and quite stable,”says Tom Painter. That's probably because Europe was in a prolonged cold spell, known as the Little Ice Age. “And then around the 1860s, the glaciers all started to retreat to the length that they had not in the previous few hundred years,”he says.Some historians think that retreat marks the end of the Little Ice Age. But there's a problem: Europe didn't actually heat up until the 1910s or the 1920s. In fact, if you go by just air temperature and precipitation, the glaciers should have advanced, not retreated. So why did the glaciers start to melt?“It dawned on me that industrialization was starting then,”Painter says. “We have these visions from Charles Dickens and others of that time —the mid-1800s —of a huge amount of soot (煤烟) being pumped out into the atmosphere, not just in England but in France and Germany and Italy.”Painter's previous research has shown that dust blowing onto the Rocky Mountains is making the snow melt much faster there because dark snow absorbs more sunlight. He found a record of soot from ice samples higher up in the mountains. And he thinks there was human influence. “Industrial pollution from Europe wasn't blowing onto Iceland or Norway, which remained coldand frosty,”says Gifford Miller. “Maybe it gave the Alpine folks in Switzerland and the Italian Alps a head start in cultivating highlands again,”he says. Could that be why we have Swiss milk chocolate today instead of Norwegian chocolate? “Could be,”Miller says, with a chuckle. Actually, it turns out that the Swiss did invent milk chocolate a decade or two after the glaciers started to give way to more pastureland (牧场), so the soot idea is not an entirely crazy idea.But Miller learns a much bigger lesson from understanding how soot and dust can bring about quick changes to the world's glaciers. “Things that impact on the climate system in an abrupt way are the things that people should be concerned about for the future.”47. The underlined phrase “go by”in Para.4 probably means “_____”.A. get back toB. look forC. obey the rules ofD. judge from48. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. Alpine glaciers had melted before industrializationB. snow on the Rocky Mountains melted faster because of dustC. the melting of glaciers has nothing to do with human influenceD. Charles Dickens described glacial melt water in the Alps in his novels49. Miller mentioned Swiss milk chocolate to prove _____.A. milk chocolate was invented first in SwitzerlandB. Swiss chocolate was better than Norwegian chocolateC. the Alpine folks didn't benefit from rapid industrializationD. the melting of glaciers had a great impact on the life of the Swiss50. What is the best title for the passage?A. Pollution may have melted Alpine glaciersB. Pollution may have advanced Alpine glaciersC. Pollution may have raised temperatures in the AlpsD.
