13.To get a chocolate out of a box requires a lot of unpacking:the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrived,the cellophane (玻璃紙) wrapper has to be torn off,the lid opened and the paper removed,the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper:But this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries.  It is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.
The package itself is of no interest to the shopper,who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London house-hold each week  So why is it done?Some of it,like the cellophane on meat,is necessary,but most of the rest is simply competitive selling.  This is absurd.Packaging is using up valuable energy and resources and polluting the environment.
Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies(牛奶場(chǎng)),washed out,and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.
The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot.Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to throw away plastic altogether in the shops,a suggestion unacceptable to many producers who say there is no alternative (替代品) to their handy plastic packs.
It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials  and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers rather than producing new ones.  Unnecessary packaging,intended to be used just once,and make things look better so more people will buy them,is clearly becoming increasingly absurd.But it is.not so much a question of throwing away packaging as using it wisely.What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is,after all,a relatively unimportant function.
72. The underlined part"this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries"(in Paragraph l)means.C
    A. more wrapping is needed for ordinary products
    B. more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products
    C. too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products
    D. the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary
73. Packaging is important to producers becauseB.
    A. it is easy to use it again
    B.they want to attract more shoppers
    C. shoppers are all interested in beautiful packaging
    D. packaged things will not go rotten
74. According to the passage,dairies areC.
    A. experimenting with the use of paper bottles 
    B.giving up the use of glass bottles
    C. increasing the use of plastic bottles        
    D.reusing their paper containers
75. Some environmentalists think thatD.
    A. plastic packaging should be made more convenient
    B. no alternative can be found to plastic packaging
    C. too much plastic is wasted
    D. shops should stop using plastic containers.

9.Mark is leaving.Please excuse me if I'm a little pensive today.You probably don't know Mark,but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him.He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years,performing professional skills.He's never been all that interested in getting credit for the terrific work he does.He just wants to do his job,and to do it superbly well.And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity.It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime,and we're genuinely,sincerely pleased for him.But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague.
Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us,when we start to get comfortable with a person,a place or a situation.A terrific neighbor moves away.A child in the family graduates.Another child finds new love through marriage.
Our ability to cope with change and disruption determines our peace,happiness and contentment in life.But how do we do that?
A friend of mine,Gibbon,who works for the government,is fond of reminding his colleagues that survivability depends upon adaptability.And there's Chris,the California surf-rat,who once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words:"Go with the flow.""It's like surfing,"Chris explained,"You can't organize the ocean.Waves just happen.You ride them where they take you.Sure,you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get,but mostly you just take them the way they come."
I'm not exactly sure,but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events-both good and bad.No matter how deft your organizational skills,there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control.The truly successful person expects the unexpected,and is prepared to make adjustments if the need arises.
We're going to miss Mark,just as you'll miss that neighbor or that graduate.But rather than dwell on the sadness of our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.

1.Big cats have existed on the earth for millions of years,though scientists aren't sure exactly how long.But a new study indicates that a skull(顱骨) of a snow leopard(豹) relative that was recently unearthed is 4.4million years old.That makes it the oldest big cat fossil(化石) ever found.
A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet.This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats,but it is closely related to the snow leopard,study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press.The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.
Big cats are at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own.Big cats include snow leopards,clouded leopards,tigers and lions.Based on genetic judgements,most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia.But previously,the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6million years old and found in Africa.
The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B:Biological Sciences.Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in 2010when they discovered some bones,including the buried cat skull.The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil.The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard,which can grow up to 50pounds.In 2012,the team returned to unearth more cat bones.
David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is"convincingly older than the current record holder".He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover.

24.What does the newly unearthed skull proveA?
A.Big cats might have their origins in Asia.
B.The oldest fossil is 4.4million years old.
C.The snow leopard is the oldest big cat.
D.The skull is of big cats'direct ancestor.
25.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 meanB?
A.relatives.
B.enemies.
C.partners.
D.protectors
26.How do the researchers know the skull's ageD?
A.By measuring its size and forehead.
B.By examining other bones around it.
C.By studying its chemical composition.
D.By exploring the rocks and soil around it.
27.Where was"the current record holder"in the last paragraph foundB?
A.Asia.
B.Africa.
C.America.
D.Australia.

8.Statistically,air travel is by far the safest way to travel,and you can make flying even safer,just by following these simple rules.Though your chances of being in an air accident are practically zero,many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the take-off,climb,descent and landing periods of a flight,so flying non-stop can reduce these complex steps.
Choose larger aircrafts
Although small aircrafts have very good safety records,those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to follow much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still work well.Also,in the unlikely event of a serious accident,larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem to be heard repeatedly,but it's worth listening to the flight attendants.And even if you've flown before,it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on,such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy things in the overhead storage bins.They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury.Also,the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(氣流).
Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this,but it's important.You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence.Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to.The general rule of flying is this:If you are told to do something,do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded passage on a moving aircraft,so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you.Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
28.Why does the writer write these air safety tips?To tell the passengersA
A.how to improve safety while flying.
B.what to do in the unlikely event of a serious accident.
C.how they can avoid turbulence.
D.how to avoid injury.
29.Which of the following is the best one to replace the underlined word"those"in the second tip?C
A.smaller aircrafts                
B.passengers
C.larger aircrafts                 
D.safety records
30.Which of the following is NOT true?B
A.Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.
B.Seat belts should be worn only during the take-off,climb,descent and landing periods of a flight.
C.Non-stop flights can reduce the complex steps of takeoff,climb,descent and landing.
D.It is dangerous for a passenger to pour hot drinks on a moving plane.
31.What is the best title of the passage?D.
A.How to Avoid Turbulence          
B.How to Fly a Plane
C.Larger Plane is Better           
D.Flight Safety Tips.

18.Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.
In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely.The evidence is on their side:Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving."Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers,which leads to fewer accidents,"the report says.However,not all male drivers share the same opinion.Of the men surveyed by MetLife,39% claimed male drivers were safer.The findings did back them up on one point:automotive knowledge.The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control,which helps prevent rollover accidents.
Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money.Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims,and for now,that mainly includes women.In general,women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men.A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states.Among individual states,women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less),South Dakota and Washington,D.C.,where their insurance costs are 16% lower.
"More than 11,900 male drivers died in U.S.traffic accidents in 2009,compared with just under 4,900 women drivers,"according to the study."Based on miles traveled,men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled,vs.1.7 deaths for women."
64.According to the study,female driversC
A.a(chǎn)re more aggressive while driving         
B.a(chǎn)re more interested in auto knowledge
C.a(chǎn)re more likely to stick to driving laws 
D.a(chǎn)re more familiar with safety equipment
65.Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because theyDA.cause more accidents on the road
B.pay more money to the insurance companies
C.take the most part of the insurance clients
D.have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims
66.We can infer from the passage thatD
A.men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than women
B.a(chǎn)ll women in the USA pay the same for their auto insurance
C.more female drivers die every year than male drivers
D.women are generally safer drivers than the opposite gender
67.The writer mainly develops paragraphs byB.
A.giving examples                      
B.making comparisons
C.drawing a conclusion                  
D.presenting an argument.

3.Puppy Food
A puppy(young dog)is a precious addition to any family.The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories.Like all of us,though,your puppy must have adequate nutrition right from the start to make certain that it'll have a long and healthy life.
(71)BYou might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging.Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth.(72)E
Contrary to the belief of many first-time puppy owners,it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium(鈣),protein,and vitamin levels. (73)F In addition,a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large-breed dogs.If you have a"smallbreed"puppy,you can buy that kind of food.
It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently,as your puppy may become selective about food.(74)D Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine,but they should not be a main part of puppy's diet.
Young puppies should be fed three times a day.Each puppy is unique,however,so feeding them twice a day is acceptable.After ten to twelve weeks of age,feed your puppy twice per day.Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes. (75)A If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times,he may become overweight and have health problems as an adult.Like humans,your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times

A.Pick up the dish with the remaining food.
B.Proper food is a basic necessity for your puppies.
C.Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to have.
D.It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet.
E.A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned food.
F.One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organs.
G.It'good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger.

11.For most seventh graders,life doesn't get much harder than a history test.But for Grant Reed of Bellville,Ohio,it's his own current events that are so painful."Honestly,I don't want to die,"Grant says.Last year,doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus found a tumor(腫瘤)in Grant's brain.They cut it out,but the surgery left him with stroke-like symptoms.Plus,he had to go through months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease.
    Yet,through it all,Grant has shown remarkable determination,which he owes,partly,to Ohio State football.His parents,Troy and Denise,were both in the OSU marching band and fell in love during halftime of the Michigan game.His cat is named   after the team Buckeye.His wardrobe is painted scarlet(the color of the team's sportswear).The point is,almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State  football-until he got sick,of course.

12.It was August 10,2011.Diana Nyad was dozens of miles into her dream to complete a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Key West.Because of the currents in the Florida Straits,Nyad would have to last 60hours-if everything went perfectly.
For two years,this dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida had been part of her every waking hour.She was about to turn 60."I wanted to be filled with commitment to the best of myself so that 1wasn't looking back later saying,'What have I done with my life?'''says Nyad.
Those extreme physical struggles are not new to her.In 1974,25-year-old Nyad became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario against the current.A year later,Nyad's 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan made the front page of the New York Times.
"Physically,I'm stronger.I weigh a lot more,"Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June."There are also mental advantages to being older,"says Steven Munatones,an expert in swimming.
Feeling a sharp pain in her right shoulder,she changed the angle of stroke (劃),telling herself to go gently until her hand caught the water.In the 17th hour,she swam over to the boat,and the crew located a pain reliever.Nyad took it.She lay on her back,rolled onto her belly and continued swimming,and then she'd turn on her back again,gasping,unable to fill her lungs."I'm trying to make it.I'm barely going forward.I feel so sick.This has been my dream forever,but I can hardly make it another hour,"Nyad told David Marchant,the boat's navigator (領(lǐng)航員).Between the 23rd and 27th hours,Nyad had gone just five miles."OK,Diana,I'm going to touch you,and it's going to be over,"Stoll said.Nyad agreed.And with that,29hours and 43minutes after she'd leaped into the water,the swim came to an end.
"She just wouldn't quit.It was more amazing to see her not make it the way she fought than if everything had gone exactly right and she'd made it the whole way,"says Mark Sollinger,who piloted Nyad's lead boat.
At a press.conference in Key West after being pulled onto the support boat,Nyad choked back tears and said,"Sometimes the will is so strong.But I was shaking and freezing,and I thought,'There's no mind over matter anymore.'I think I'm going to have to go to my grave without swimming from Cuba to Florida."
But when Nyad returned home to Los Angeles,the pain began to fade."Something says to me the goal is still there,"says Nyad.

56.Nyad decided to swim from Cuba to Florida because sheD.
A.wouldn't swim against the current
B.wanted to prove she was stronger than before
C.had David Marchant as her navigator
D.wanted very much to fulfill her dream
57.We can learn from the passage that NyadD.
