6．With more and more cars on the road，traffic jams are inevitable． Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars，with more people trying to get to their destination，all the while getting worse．Although it's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether，there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road．
Check for traffic jams before you leave．You can listen to the radio for traffic news，or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic．If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic，you can choose another．
Look for a different route all the time．Most traffic jams happen on busy roads．Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic．Although the distance you may have to travel is further，it can work out quicker．
Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins． Many new car stereo systems （汽車音響系 統(tǒng)） are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel．This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary．
__________ Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour，so try to avoid this time period if possible．Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour．Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether．Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you．
Use public transport alternatives where available．The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car．Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises．
66．The underlined word"inevitable"in Paragraph 1 probably meansB
A．hard to accept                              
B．impossible to avoid
C．getting less serious                             
D．seen everywhere

17．People with mentally taxing jobs，including lawyers and graphic designers，may end up having better memory in old age，research suggests．
A study of more than 1，000Scottish 70-year-olds found that those who had had complex jobs scored better on memory and thinking tests．
One theory is that a more stimulating environment helps build up a"cognitive reserve"to help buffer the brain against age-related decline．The research was reported in Neurology．
The team，from Heriot-Watt University，in Edinburgh，is now planning more work to look at how lifestyle and work interact to affect memory loss．Those taking part in the study took tests designed to assess memory，processing speed and general thinking ability，as well as filling in a questionnaire about their working life．
The analysis showed that those whose jobs had required complex skills in dealing with data or people，such as management and teaching，had better scores on memory and thinking tests than those who had done less mentally intense jobs such as factory workers，bookbinders，or carpet layers．
While the study did not look at biological reasons for the protective effect of certain jobs，potential explanations include that structural changes within the brain mean less damage is accumulated over time．
Study leader Dr Alan Gow said："Our findings have helped to identify the kinds of job demands that preserve memory and thinking later on．""However，"He added，"while it is true that people who have higher cognitive abilities are more likely to get more complex jobs，there still seems to be a small advantage gained from these complex jobs for later thinking skills．"
Dr Simon Ridley，head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK，said the study added to the growing evidence about factors that affected brain health as we aged．
"Keeping the brain active throughout life could be helpful and different types of work may play a role．However，it's important to note that this study points to a small and subtle association between occupation and later-life cognition rather than offering proof that people's occupation has a direct influence．"

36．According to the research，who may have the best memory in old age？B
A．Taxi drivers．
B．Computer programmers．
C．Supermarket cashiers．
D．Motor mechanics．
37．Which of the following about the research work is TRUE？D
A．The research team studied both environmental and biological factors．
B．The researchers filled in a questionnaire about their working life．
C．The research objects included people from various jobs and of different ages．
D．The research is helpful to the study of brain health and is still under way．
38．What Dr Alan Gow said implies thatC．
A．their findings are helpful to identifying the kinds of job demands
B．people who do more complex jobs may benefit later thinking skills greatly
C．there exist links between job demands and preservation of memory
D．he didn't confirm the links between complex jobs and later thinking skills
39．We can learn from Dr Simon Ridley thatA．
A．different occupations may make a difference in keeping the brain active
B．people's occupation has a direct influence on later-life cognition
C．the study added more evidence about the factors affecting aging
D．the study denied the association between jobs and later-life memory
40．What is the best title of the passage？B
A．Aging affects brain health           
B．Complex jobs may protect memory
C．Occupations influence aging         
D．Complex jobs demand complex skills．

14．Four common bad habits combined-smoking，drinking too much，inactivity and poor diet-can age you by 12years，sobering new research suggests．
The findings are from a study that tracked nearly 5，000British adults for 20years，and they highlight yet another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle．
Overall，300people studied had all four unhealthy behaviors．Among them，90died during the study，or 30percent．Among the 400healthiest people with none of the four habits，8percent of them died．
The risky behaviors were：smoking tobacco； downing more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women； getting less than two hours of physical activity per week； and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily．
These habits combined substantially increased the risk of death and made people who engaged in them seem 12years older than people in the healthiest group，said lead researcher Elisabeth Kvaavik of the University of Oslo．
The healthiest group included never-smokers and those who had quit； teetotalers，women who had fewer than two drinks daily and men who had fewer than three； those who got at least two hours of physical activity weekly； and those who ate fruits and vegetables at least three times daily．
"You don't need to be extreme"to be in the healthy category，Kvaavik said．"These behaviors add up，so together it's quite good．It should be possible for most people to manage to do it．"
The US government generally recommends at least 4cups of fruits or vegetables daily for adults，depending on age and activity level，and about 2hours of exercise weekly．

60．What problem may you have，if you smoke often and eat few fruits and vegetables？C
A．You would have difficulty in walking．   B．You would feel tired，lack of energy．
C．You may look older than you really are． D．You may face the risk of death of cancer．
61．How many of the 400healthiest people with none of the four habits died？A
A．32．      B．24．            C．56．            D．120．
62．What does this text mainly talk about？B
A．Suggestions to smokers．        
B．The results of four bad life habits．
C．The findings of a new research．         
D．The recommends from the US government．

1．You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving．If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs，then it's likely you will burn out，or feel upset．When you take and take without giving anything back，you never feel fulfilled，so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life．
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values．I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values．Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be．I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by．An example of some being values are：kind，loving，generous，inspirational，peaceful，wise and even powerful．By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model．Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose．
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy．These could be companionship，achievement，support，being valued or financial security．This is what you receive．You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life．
When you make a commitment to live by your being values，it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones．If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems，you could choose to think and act like a calm person．A calm person might go for a walk，meditate（沉思），or set a time limit before responding．If your usual pattern is to worry，you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person．In other words，you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal power．
When you choose to act on your values，you not only feel good about yourself，you reinforce（加強）your chosen beliefs．Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world，and in turn the way other people think of you．

60．The main purpose of this passage is toC．
A．persuade the readers to make a commitment
B．explain to the readers what personal values are
C．inform the readers how to be truly happy
D．instruct the readers how to make wise choices
61．According to the text，living by your being values，you wouldB．
A．gain a lot of power B．form positive personality
C．seek all human virtues D．fill your own needs
62．The underlined word"void"in Paragraph 1meansA．
A．a(chǎn) feeling of emptiness    B．a(chǎn)n absence of one's mind
C．a(chǎn) break of continuity     D．a(chǎn) state of confusion
63．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．Having values are better than being values．
B．A calm person does not choose to complain．
C．The way other people think of you decides who you are．
D．A responsible person does not care about financial security．

11．As computers become all the more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters．But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes （筆畫） of each Chinese character when writing on paper．Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more．
Do you write by hand more or type more？In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school．And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students．Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer．
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer．
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer．And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education．But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly，problems appear．
"When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it．"
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper．"
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about．Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite？
Many educators think differently．Shi Liwei，headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said，"Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic （審美的） value．But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value．All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost．And handwriting contains the writer's emotion．Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality．Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them．"
To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand．

60．The underlined expression"taking stock in"in paragraph 4probably meansB．
A．getting bored with    B．getting dependent on
C．becoming crazy about  D．getting curious about
61．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly becauseD．
A．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
B．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
62．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting？C
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotions．
B．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value．
C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self-confidence．
D．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting．
63．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A
A．To Type or to Handwrite．
B．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing．
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand．
D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters．

18．Tourism has the power to bring jobs and economic development to popular destination（目的地），but how should travelers decide where to spend their money？Are some countries more deserving of visitors'dollars than others？
That't the idea behind the 10-destination list put together by San Francisco-based non-profit Ethical（有道德的）Traveler，which，since 2006，has published an annual guide to the World's Best Ethical Destinations in the developing world．
"Instead of publishing countries for doing bad things，"said Jeff Greenwald，executive director of Ethical Traveler，"we're trying to offer a favor，rewarding countries in the developing world that are really trying to do the right thing．"
So which countries are the most ethical？For 2013，the winners are Barbados，Cape Verde，Costa Rica，Ghana，Latvia，Lithuania，Mauritius，Palau，Samoa and Uruguay．
Those 10countries scored highest in three main areas：social welfare，environmental protection and human rights．
Greenwald explained that countries must have a good tourism infrastructure（基礎建設）to make the list，but the non-profit Ethical Traveler also uses the list to promote（提倡）some under-visited places that can be a role model for other countries in their region．For example，Latvia earned high marks for improving its environmental efforts and strong human rights record，and the country's parks and nature reserves make for a great off-the-beaten-path ecotourism trip．
In addition to just visiting these countries，travelers should aim to spend their money in locally-owned business，Greenwald said，to ensure their financial support stays in the country they're visiting．However，that requires a well-maneged tourism infrastructure．While one could argue those poor places need the money even more，tourism can put pressure on countries that face such challenges．
Erica Avrami，research and education director at the World Monuments Fund（WMF） said that a list of ethical destinations is"a wonderful idea"，the idea of being ethical goes both ways．"There's also a certain responsibility on the part of the traveler to make sure their own footprint is as minimal as possible，"she said．

72．The passage mainly aims toA．
A．promote ethical destinations
B．encourage ecotourism trips
C．speed up the development of tourism
D．discuss which countries are ethical destinations
73．According to the fifth paragraph Latvia can make the list partially for its
C．
A．good tourism infrastructure          B．regular ecotourism trip
C．strong human rights record           D．good social welfares
74．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？D
A．Tourism fails to help develop local economy and provide jobs．
B．All the destinations should equally share the money spent by visitors．
C．Ethical Traveler punishes the developing countries for doing wrong things．
D．Ethical Traveler rewards the developing countries for doing the right thing．
75．In the eyes of Erica Avrami，B．
A．being ethical is not actually a wonderful idea
B．being ethical depends on both travelers and destinations
C．travelers are advised to travel as far as possible
D．travelers should leave as much footprint as possible．

15．The Mississippi
         The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century．The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food，and it was they who gave it its name-"misi"meaning"great"and"sipi"meaning"water"．When the length of its branch，the Missouri，is added to it，the Mississippi becomes greater（71）C．．From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta （三角洲），it is 2，480 miles long．
         Great rivers are likely to suffer floods．In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres，sweeping away farms，towns，everything in its path．In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless．Today the river has largely been controlled．（72）B．
         Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta，but otherwise the delta is a remote place，the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century．They still speak French，mixed with English，Indian，Spanish and Negro idioms．They keep to themselves，fanning the rich soil of the delta．（73）G．
        （74）D．Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went，but what lay beyond．In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river，and named it after their king，Louis XV．This city，named St．Louis，became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains，and the way to the Far West．
         Some 40 years earlier，at the beginning of the 18th century，the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta，New Orleans．（75）A．New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world，and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic．

A．It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is
B．Levees，high banks built of earth，hold back the flood waters
C．Therefore，as we know，it's the third longest river in the world
D．It is known that the"Great Water"has also been a frontier river
E．However，they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune
F．The"Great Water"always remains a thread，for the streets of the city are below the level of the river
G． They call themselves Cajuns，who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and  preserving their own traditions．
