13．Being a normal，healthy nineteen-year-old，Rhona was in the habit of falling asleep the moment her head touched her pillow and not wakening up again until her mother called her at seven-thirty．
When she awoke that morning in the grey light of early dawn，she had no idea what had disturbed her．Then she imagined，or thought she imagined，a faint smell of smoke around her nostrils （鼻孔）．What was strange，though，was the very fact that she was wide awake and，according to her bedside clock，it was only a quarter to four．
She sat up，listening，alert．There was definitely a smell of burning．Rising quickly，she crossed to the window and opened it quietly，thinking it would be the remains of some garden bonfire．But it wasn't．She saw smoke and flames billowing out of a downstairs window next door．
Barefoot and in pyjamas，she ran first to her parents'room，opening their door to call，"Mum!Dad!There's a fire next door!"
Downstairs in a flash，she hurriedly dialed 999 and gave her name and address in clear，brief tones．By the time she had finished，Graeme，her elder brother，was coming running downstairs．
"You go to their front door-I'll go to the back，"she said to him．
As she banged on their neighbors'back door，she could hear a child crying in fear．Without stopping to think，Rhona lifted the large doorstop and smashed it through a glass panel，put her hand in and turned the key which opened the door．
Through the smoke she saw a drying screen hung with white washing and she grabbed at as many of the damp clothes as she could on her way past towards the stairs．Halfway up she met Mr Parker carrying the baby and she hurriedly gave him some wet towels before doing the same for Mrs Parker who was behind him leading two-year-old Clare by the hand．
"Crouch down as low as you can，"Rhona directed them as she took the child's other hand．Within a matter of seconds the family was safely outside．

66．Rhona woke up early in the morning becauseC．
A．her mother called her for an emergency
B．she heard a baby crying in fear downstairs
C．she smelt something burning in the air
D．the alarm clock rang as she set it
67．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．Rhona，together with her brother，Graeme，went to the Parkers'rescue．
B．The Parkers escaped from the burning house together．
C．Rhona broke into the house by back door after smashing the glass panel．
D．Rhona covered her mouth with the damp clothes before entering the Parkers'．
68．According to the article，Rhona can be best described asD．
A．a(chǎn)lert and timid
B．courageous and stressed
C．panic and sympathetic
D．decisive and responsive
69．It can be inferred that when the fire broke out，B．
A．The Parkers were at a loss what to do
B．Rhona had a good knowledge of survival skills
C．Rhona showed the Parkers a safe fire escape

14．There's nothing like a good night's sleep-but what does that really mean？It turns out that the answer depends not only on your age，but also on your lifestyle．Some people are productive and happy with fewer hours of sleep，while others need more．Still，experts can determine guidelines that work for most people．The National Sleep Foundation researched the topic and gave new recommendations this week．The foundation acknowledges that sleep needs will vary-lifestyle and stress should be taken into consideration-but their recommendations offer a general guideline．For example，teenagers （ 14-17 years old） ne 8-10 hours，sleep every day．
To create the recommendations，some sleep and medical experts reviewed 312 articles from journals published during the last decade．This is the first time that any professional organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep durations based on a systematic review of the world scientific literature．
A lack of sleep can be linked to weight gain，because that causes an increase in appetite，according to the foundation．It can also have serious consequences on the brain．People who d o not get enough sleep are at increased risk for depression，and can endanger others．Those that become sleepy while driving，for example，risk both their lives and the lives of those around them．
Researchers also have found in the past that too much sleep can have negative effects．Low socioeconomic status and depression reportedly are significantly associated with longer sleep．However，experts nowadays find that research on oversleeping is still unconvincing and needs more attention．Currently，there is no strong evidence that sleeping too much has health consequences．There is，however，laboratory evidence that short sleep durations of four to five hours have negative consequences．We need similar laboratory studies to determin e whether long sleep durations result in physiological changes that could lead to disease before we make any recommendations against sleep extension．
 
41．Which is TRUE about sleeping time？A
A．The time you need for sleep is related to your state of mind．
B．Experts'guideline for sleeping time applies to all the people．
C．The less you sleep，the more productive you are．
D．The more you sleep，the more energetic you are．
42．How did die National Sleeping Foundation do the research？B
A．By interviewing different people．B．By reading lots of articles．
C．By consulting other experts．D．By doing systematic experiments．
43．The research shows that people without enough sleep willB
A．lose some weight                                       
B．eat more food  
C．dream during their sleep                             
D．drive faster than usual
44．From Paragraph 4，we can learn thatC．
A．too much sleep may result in social changes   
B．researchers now agree with those ill the past
C．more research on oversleeping is needed      
D．research on oversleeping is quite convincing
45．From which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken？A
A．Health

11．How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day？Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the  norm for many people．
You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health-from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity in the long term，to reduced cholesterol（膽固醇）maintenance in the short term，not to mention the strain on your neck and spine．
To make matters worse，many researches show a good diet and regular exercise call't reduce the negative effects of sitting too much．
A 2010study of nearly 9，000Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day，the risk of dying rose by 11percent．Another study tracked the health of 123，000Americans between 1992and 2006．The death rate for men who spent six hours or more per day sitting was about 20percent higher than for men who sat for three hours or less．
So what can we do about it？Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing．
The BBC conducted a simple experiment with a group of 10volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting．They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day．The researchers took measurements Oil days when the volunteers stood，and when they sat around．When they looked at the data there were some striking differences，the BBC reported．
Blood sugar leveled off much quicker on the days when the study subjects stood compared with the days they spent in a chair．Standing also burned more calories--about 50calories an hour．A member said although doing exercise offers many proven benefits，our bodies also need the increase in muscle activity that standing provides．
The researchers believe that even small adjustments，like standing while talking on the   phone，will help．

56．The underlined word"norm"in Paragraph 1most probably meansA．
A．standard answer    B．cause
C．excuse             D．reasonable explanation
57．What bad effect does sitting too much have？B
A．A low risk of heart disease．      B．Becoming too fat．
C．Balanced cholesterol maintenance． D．Benefiting your neck and spine．
58．What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？A
A．Sitting is killing us．
B．We should have a good diet．
C．Watching TV does us no good．
D．Women have higher death rate than men．
59．What is the purpose of the experiment in the text？C
A．To help the 10volunteers to lose weight．
B．To find the difference between standing and sitting．
C．To prove the benefit of standing．
D．To teach us how to control blood sugar．
60．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Having regular exercise    B．Standing up for health
C．Watching less TV           D．Increasing muscle activity．

18．Smoggy weather has become common in China．But these days，air pollution levels in the north eastern city of Harbin surpassed the previous record levels．
The city was essentially shut down after PM2.5，fine Particulate（微粒物） pollution that is considered hazardous（有害的）．reached levels of 1000micrograms per cubic meter-40times the safety level remended by the World Health Organization．Schools，motorways and an airport were closed on Tuesday as visibility in some areas of the city dropped to less than 10meters．
Photos from Harbin showed residents covering their mouths with masks and scarves，and moving like ghostly shadows through the fog．Cars and motorcycles are moving slowly as traffic came to a standstill with traffic lights barely visible．．
Just days previously，the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer （IARC）  classified air pollution as a carcinogen（致癌物）．It stated that there  is"sufficient evidence"that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer and also linked it with an increased risk of bladder cancer．It's said that exposure has increased significantly particularly in"rapidly industrial countries with large populations"．
"The air we breathe has become polluted with a mixture of cancer-causing substances"，Dr Kurt Straif，head of the IARC said in a press released．"We now know that outdoor air pollution is not only a major risk to health in general，but also a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths．"
On the Chinese social media site Weibo，many users complained about the pollution and shared their concerns．References to"feed people with smog"have become popular on Weibo and there is a sarcastic play on the expression"serve the people"，as the two have a similar pronunciation．
"The impact of air pollution on people will be gradual．There won't be a sudden outbreak of symptoms，but normally three to five days after the smoggy weather occurs，there is a peak in the number of people seeing doctors，"Deng Ying，a doctor at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University was quoted as saying．

24．As thick smog has become a common scene in Harbin，D
A．students there can go to school as usual
B．residents in the city can see as far as 20meters
C．traffic lights can be easily visible
D．the urban traffic has been seriously influenced
25．When exposed to outdoor air pollution，what kind of disease can be caused？C．
A．Cancer of stomach  B．Breast cancer  C．Bladder cancer     D．Ovarian cancer

8．My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras，Puerto Rico．My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields．I would walk behind an ox，guiding him with a broomstick．For 1 a day，I worked eight hours straight，with no food breaks．
  It was very tedious work，but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons．Because the plantation owners were always watching us，I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could．I've never been late for any job since．I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for．More importantly，I earned my pay，it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn't want to work．
  I was only six years old，but I was doing a man's job．Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $18 a week．Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet．Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother，father，two brothers and three sisters．This gave me self-esteem（自尊心），one of the most important things a person could have．
When I was seven，I got work at a golf course near our house．My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed，so the golfers could find them．Losing a ball meant you were fired，so I never missed one．Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle．
The more I dreamed，the more I thought．Why not？I made my first golf club out of guava limb （番石榴樹(shù)枝） and a piece of pipe．Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball．And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth．I practiced with the same devotion and intensity．I learned working in the field---except now I was driving golf balls with club，not oxen with a broomstick．

26．The writer's first job wasC．
A．to stand down the fairway at the golf course
B．to watch over the sugar-cane plantation
C．to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields
D．to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them

4．Among all the fast growing science and technology，the research of human genes，or biological engineering as people call it，is drawing more and more attention now．Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people．
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with，such as cancer and heart disease．Every year，millions of people are murdered by these two killers．And to date，doctors have not found an effective way to cure them．But if the gene technology is applied，not only these two diseases can be cured completely，bringing happiness and more living days to the patients，but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved，therefore it benefits the economy as well．In addition，human life span（壽命） can be prolonged．
Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthy and clever children．Some families，with the English imperial family being a good example，have hereditary（遺傳的） diseases．This means their children will for sure have the family disease，which is a great trouble for these families．In the past，doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases．But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly．The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it，and a healthy child will be born．
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities．In the past few years，scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep，therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned．But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities，for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way．Of course，the government must take care to control gene technology．

66．What does"these two killers"in the second paragraph refer to？C
A．Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases．
B．The two murderers who killed the cloned baby．
C．The two diseases of cancer and heart disease．
D．Hereditary diseases and cancer．
67．What's the main idea of the third paragraph？A
A．How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases．
B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies．
C．Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby．
D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out．
68．In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases？B
A．Using gene technology，people with hereditary diseases can have more living days．
B．Using gene technology，the scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it．
C．Using gene technology，human babies can be cloned．
D．Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology．
69．What is the main purpose of writing this passage？A
A．Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people．
B．Telling people the disadvantages of gene technology．
C．Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people．
D．Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity．

7．If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again．Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year，a survey has revealed．The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz-the equivalent of a whole dress size-while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz．
The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more．Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day．The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common vice，with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate （38 per cent），crisps （32 per cent） and cakes （13 per cent）．
And office workers are worse than most．Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to．In addition，33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon．
Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said："We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch．But we were really shocked by the extent to which‘quick fix'lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing．Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain．"
The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating．Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying，compared to 20 per cent of men．Unfortunately，it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats．

61．According to the passage，women usually put weight on firstD
A．on the face       
B．on the legs         
C．on the feet     
D．in the middle
62．What's the main reason of eating snacks in office？C
A．Colleagues eat them to save money．
B．Staff use them to cope with their lunch．
C．Colleagues often bring them to office．
D．Bosses invite staff to eat them．
63．Why do office workers eat a"quick fix"lunch？D
A．Because it has much of nutrition．
B．Because it has little effect on weight gain．
C．Because it has little effect on general wellbeing．
D．Because they have short time to have their lunches．
64．It can be inferred that British women areB．
A．less likely to lie on snacks than men       
B．more likely to lie on snacks than men
C．more ashamed of eating snacks than men      
D．less ashamed of eating snacks than men
65．What does the underlined word possibly mean？A
