20．Chinese consumers'crazy appetite for luxury goods and  services appears unstoppable，with just 2percent of the  Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's  luxury items．
As  China's  economic  miracle  develops，the  market  opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are  increasing．Luxury consumption in China now extends ways  beyond well-known car，clothing and jewelry brands．For  example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing  in the world，even  outstripping that of the United States，with a market share of 25percent．This trend appears to continue，with 20to 30percent growth expected in China，compared with only 2to 3percent in the US．But more importantly，China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items．
China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods．In 2013，China became the largest market for red wine in the world，even overtaking France，with 1.86billion bottles consumed in China last year．Over the past five years，China's red wine consumption has grown 136percent．
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing，public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to"gain face"and publicly display social climbing through material possessions．On the other hand，it is"self-reward"that lies behind consumer motivation in this area．Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success．But this has little to do with"gaining face"and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment．
Finally，the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer  culture generally．

28．What do you think the author would most probably be？C
A．A news reporter．
B．An accountant．
C．A professor．
D．A conductor．
29．The underlined word"outstripping"in Paragraph 2probably  means"C"．
A．falling far behind of
B．going out of
C．going far ahead of
D．keeping pace with
30．What can we learn from Paragraph 2and 3？B
A．China's luxury jet market growth is only 2% to 3%．
B．France was once the largest market for red wine in the world before 2013．
C．The luxury jet market in the US shares 25% of the jet consumption in the world．
D．China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86billion bottles since 2013．
31．What can be the best title for the passage？B
A．Future Private Luxury Consumption in China
B．Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and Services
C．The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China
D．The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers．

1．"Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere，but changes in temperature，humidity （濕度） and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，"said researchers from  the National University of Singapore
    45percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past．The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats，caused by climate change，are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures．
"We do not yet know the exact mechanisms （機制） involved，or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected，"the researchers said．"Until we understand more，we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify．"
    The change was big in cold-blooded animals．Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make creatures smaller．An increase of only 1℃caused nearly a 10percent increase in metabolism（新陳代謝）．Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards．Fish are smaller now too．Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers，experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing．
    Warm-blooded animals weren't immune （兔疫） from the size change caused by climate change．Many birds are now smaller．Red deer are weaker．And polar bears are smaller，compared with historical records．
    This isn't the first time that has happened in Earth's history.55million years ago，a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees，spiders and ants to shrink by 50t0 75percent over several thousand years．That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change．
    The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough，especially those with long generation times．So，it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future．

67．What does the text mainly talk about？D
A．Why some species become smaller．
B．How climate changes in Earth's history．
C．Climate change has many negative effects．
D．Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer．
68．What does the underlined word"trumped"in paragraph l mean？A
A．beaten     B．gained      C．destroyed    D．lost
69．Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe thatB．
A．they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller
B．increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller
C．climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals
D．all the animals on the earth have become smaller
70．What does the auther feel about the climate change？A
A．Worried    B．Optimistic   C．Disappointed  D．Shameful．

18．Some things happen every day，but others don't．Most people look at their lives not just one day at a time，but also a week at a time．A Weekly Planner will help you record homework assignments，weekly appointments，and important dates．
You can buy a Weekly Planner，but it's just as easy （and more fun） to make one．Either way，here's how to make the best of it：
1．A good Weekly Planner will show the whole week on one page，or on two pages that face each other．With one glance，you will be able to see how your schedule looks for the 7-day period．
2．Under the date for each day，there should be lines for the hours，like a 5：00pm dentist appointment or a 6：00pm football club meeting．
3．Looking at your appointments and activities for the whole week will help you picture and predict how it will play out．You should be able to see possible conflicts，like two events that may be at the same time，or other problems，like too many assignments due on the same day．
4．When you find conflicts or schedule problems，you can work towards solving them．This might mean rescheduling an appointment，or getting an assignment done a few days earlier so you'll have time to do the other one as well．
5．Take your Weekly Planner with you everywhere．

29．A good Weekly Planner shouldB．
A．be shown on only one page．           B．show the time of the tasks or events．

5．Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States，according to a new survey．The city has high unemployment，terrible weather，heavy taxes，and ordinary sports teams，all of which have pushed it to the No.1 position in the Forbes．com list．
"Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories．And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname：the Mistake by the lake，"Forbes said on its website，
The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country．Crime and unemployment secured the No.2 spot for Stockton，which held the top position in last year's ranking．Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty，while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five．
"A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now，dealing with high unemployment，with declining producing bases．Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years．"
Despite （盡管） its fine weather，Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting （上下班往返） time，and violent crime which sent it into sixth place．
"One of the biggest surprises is Miami．The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes，"Badenhausen added．
Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis，Buffalo，Canton，Ohio and Chicago，which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent．New York，the nation's biggest city，is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place．
68．From the text we can learn thatD．
A．Cleveland has been entitled a lovely nickname
B．the economic downturn hit cities in the mid-east section
C．Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in all nine categories

A．The number of officials who are guilty is large in Memphis．
B．Stockton got second place in last year's ranking．
C．High income taxes made New York get 16th place．
D．Ohio has the country's highest sales tax．
70．The word"blur"underlined in the last paragraph but one probably meansB
A．make it possible   B．make it unclear  C．make if obvious  D．make it important

15．You either have it，or you don't-a sense of direction．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map，while others can lose themselves in the next street？
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction，but it is not properly understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it，we lose it．
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around，"says Jim Martland，Research Director of the project．"However，if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car，they never develop the skills．"
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions：
If you are using a map，turn it so it relates to the way you are facing．
If you leave your bike in a strange place，put it near something like a big stone or a tree．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return，go back along the same route．
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town，streams，or walls in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are．
Now you need never get lost again!
63．Scientists believe thatB．
A．people never lose their sense of direction
B．everybody has a sense of direction from birth
C．some babies are born with a sense of direction
D．people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
64．What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage？B
A．They never have a sense of direction without maps．
B．They have a sense of direction and can find their way around．
C．They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction．
D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car．
65．What should you do if you leave your bike in a strange place？C
A．Tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen．
B．Draw a map of the route to help remember where it is．
C．Remember something easily recognizable on the route．
D．Avoid taking the same route when you come back to it．
66．According to the passage，the best way to find your way around is toC．
A．ask policemen for directions
B．count the number of landmarks that you see
C．use walls，streams，and streets to guide yourself
D．remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs．

2．Are we getting more stupid？According to Gerald Crabtree，a scientist at Stanford University in the US，we are．
You may not want to hear this，but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2，000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill．"If an average Greek from 1，000 BC were transported to modern times，he or she would be one of the brightest among us，"Crabtree told The Guardian．
At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea．In the past，intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food．The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death．However，after the spread of agriculture，when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities，the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced．
This is not hard to understand．Most of the time，pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework； the pressure of looking pretty prompts（促使） you to lose weight when summer comes．And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less，we become less smart．
These mutations（變異） are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3，000 years．The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes．He found that among the 2，000 to 5，000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence，there are two or more mutations in each of us．
However，Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities，but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence．For example，spearing a tiger doesn't necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem．Moreover，the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays．
"You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2，000 years ago．He just wouldn't exist，"Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick，UK，told Live Science．"But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights（洞察力） that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation．"
61．What is Crabtree's recent finding according to the article？D
A．The Greeks from 1，000 BC could have been the smartest in human history．
B．Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays．
C．Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming．
D．Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence．
62．According to Crabtree，ancient humansB
A．had much more genes that determine human intelligence
B．were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures
C．relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence
D．developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities
63．Some argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they thinkD．
A．people today are under much more pressure than early humans
B．it's ridiculous to compare a hunter's and a poet's intelligence
C．modern education is far more advanced than ancient education
D．human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
64．What is Thomas Hills'attitude toward Crabtree's theory？B
A．Supportive          B．Unfavorable           C．Worried            D．Confused．

19．We may all like to consider ourselves free spirits．But a study of the tracks left by 50，000mobile phone users over three months has finally proved that the truth is otherwise．
"We are all in one way or another boring，"says Albert-Laszlo Barabasi at the Center for Complex Network Research at Northeastern University in Boston，who co-wrote the study．"Spontaneous individuals are largely absent from the population，"
Barabasi and colleagues used three months'worth of data from a mobile phone network to track the mobile phone towers each person's phone connected to each hour of the day，showing their general location．They conclude that regardless of whether a person typically remains close to home or wanders far and wide，their movements are probably predictable as much as 93percent of the time．
Surprisingly，the mobile phone data showed that individuals'movements were more or less as predictable at weekends as on weekdays，suggesting that routine（日程） is rooted in human nature rather than being an effect of work patterns．
The mobile phone records were handled to make out the most visited locations for each user．Then the probability of finding a given user at his most visited locations at each hour through the day was calculated．
People were to be found in their most visited location for any given hour 70percent of the time．Not surprisingly，the figure increased at night，and decreased at lunchtime and in the early evening，when most people were returning home from work．
The team analyzed the randomness（隨意性） of people's traces to show it was possible in theory to predict the average person's places as much as 93percent of the time．
"Say your routine movement is from home to the coffee shop to work：if you are at home and then go to the coffee shop it's easy for me to predict that you are going to work，"says co-author Nicholas Blumm．
This predictability was not much affected by differences in age，gender，language spoken or whether a person lived in a rural or urban setting．

58．The"spontaneous individuals"are most probably people whoB．
A．are boring in some way
B．act with much freedom
C．can live without a mobile phone
D．rely much on a mobile phone in life
59．A phone user's location is shown byC．
A．which mobile phone network he is connected to
B．the content of his every phone call
C．which mobile phone tower he is connected to
D．how often he uses the phone every day
60．According to the sixth paragraph，a person is more likely toD at night than in the early evening．
A．return home from work
B．be found at home
C．take home as his most visited place
D．go to his most visited place
61．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．The factors that help determine one's routine．
B．The predictability of one's routine．
C．The influence of mobile phones on one's routine．
D．The new application of mobile phone．
