16．Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy？
With the development of the society，people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days．They become more and more concerned about their health problem．Different people come up with different views：eating green food，doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently．As far as I am concerned，the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology（心理）．
According to some surveys，nowadays，most patients are not physically sick but mentally（精神上） ill．They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others，so they can't step out of the shadow of depression and sadness．They need to release their spirit to the nature．
Besides，if you have developed a good quality of psychology，you'll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society．Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency，which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise，will benefit you a lot．
As a poem says，youth is not a period of time； it's a state of mind．Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living．
Keep a good quality of mind，or keep a sense of humour，even if you are 80，and you'll never be old．
46．According to the passage，in the old days，what people cared most might beA．
A．food          B．exercising          C．clothing         D．health
47．According to the writer，the best way to keep healthy is toD．
A．have meals regularly                      
B．do outdoor exercises
C．go to hospital frequently                     
D．keep psychological health
48．The most probable reason for patients who are mentally ill might beA．
A．burden             B．depression           C．sadness          D．spirit
49．The best way to develop a good quality of psychology might be．D
A．taking social responsibility                  
B．exercising in a keep-fit club
C．going on journeys                         
D．taking physical exercise
50．The key point to keep young is toB．
A．keep exercising                           
B．keep a young heart  
C．keep humourous                        
D．keep a proper diet．

15．Pulling luggage through the airport can be a pain，as any frequent traveler will tell you．A new suitcase called only"Hop"is looking to change all of that，though，using signals from your cell phone to go hands-free．
According to Hop's official website，the suitcase uses three sensors （感應(yīng)器） to identify the Bluetooth signal from your phone and pick you out of a crowd．Once it's done that，a microprocessor not only figures out Hop's position as it relates to your phone，but controls the two caterpillar tracks （履帶） in the bottom of the unit to get it moving．Hop follows behind the user at a constant distance，so you don't have to worry about it"stepping"on your heels，so to speak．If it loses the signal it's following，your phone will vibrate，letting you know that your poor suitcase is lost and alone in a sea of strange people．
We can see Hop in action in the video below，and we have to say that it looks like a great little device．There's just one problem：it looks as if you'll have to walk at a relatively slow pace to keep the suitcase from losing the signal．Since a walk through an airport is rarely a leisurely experience，that could potentially cause troubles．Also，don't expect TSA agents to just smile and wave as you walk through security with a remote-controlled suitcase tailing you．
Still，the idea behind Hop is really cool，and we're willing to believe that there are some frequent flyers who would like to put down some money for it right this instant．However，this is just a model at the moment，so don't expect it to be available for sale anytime soon （if it ever is，for that matter）．Would you purchase one of these if Hop ever became available commercially？

69．According to the article，Hop may run into trouble becauseC．
A．your cell phone fails to tell you Hop is lost 
B．its caterpillar tracks aren't powerful enough
C．you usually walk too fast for Hop to follow   
D．TSA agents won't be patient enough
70．What does the writer think of the invention？D
A．Hop will be in production soon
B．Hop is sure to be popular someday．
C．It's silly to have thought of that
D．Hop might never go on sale．

14．A disastrous competition is going on in England，with billions of dollars and hundreds of lives in danger．OK，that's not true．But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday to compete for the title of 2012's World's Biggest Liar．
Each participant is given up to five minutes to make up the best lie in the competition，which was started in honor of 19th-century Bridge Inn owner Will Ritson，who was reportedly famous for his lies．Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition，a small pub in northwestern England．Anyone can take part in the competition．Well，almost anyway； the reporters note that lawyers and politicians are banned，who is said to enjoy"an unfair advantage"in the proceedings （進(jìn)程）．
A study published this past July in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior found that nearly all lies are detectable through visible facial muscle （肌肉） reactions in the person telling a lie．"Thus，while interpersonal deception （欺騙） often is highly successful，signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer，"the study concluded．
A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition，simply stating，"I have never told a lie in my life．"
In 2003，Abrie Krueger of South Africa became the first non-Brit to win the competition．Ironically，Krueger was accused by some of cheating．
In 2006，comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition，telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change．
Last year's winning entry came from Glen Boyland，who told a lie about competing in a snail-racing （蝸牛賽跑） competition with Prince Charles．

13．How men first learned to invent words is unknown； in other words，the origin of language is a mystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other； and that later they agreed upon certain signs，they called letters，which could be combined to represent those sounds，and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words．
The power of words，then，lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience； and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past； and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increase．
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings．This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style．Above all，the real poet is a master of words．He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately，or they make our speech silly and rude．

12．About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way．Women are luckier； only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter．Perhaps，after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness．In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shadows of green．Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green．In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed．
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain．In a single eye there are millions of very small things called"cones"．These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors．There are also millions of"rods"，but these are used for seeing when it is near dark．They show us shape but no color．
Some insects have favorite colors．Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow．A red light will not attract insects，but a blue lamp will．In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors．Yet we are lucky．With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night．One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us．

10．An experimental treatment that causes AIDS patients to develop a dangerously high fever has shown promise as a way of prolonging and improving the patients'life．Called the Biologic-HT System，the new treatment lets doctors extract the blood of a patient and heat it before circulating it back into the body．The heated blood causes the patient's body temperature to rise above 42 degrees Celsius．In people with AIDS，that increase in temperature kills some heat-sensitive HIV，the virus，most doctors say，causes AIDS．
Heating the blood of AIDS patients has been tried before，say doctors．But during previous attempts，the treatment induced deadly chemical changes in the blood．The Biologic-HT System prevents those changes from happening，allowing the heat to kill viruses with few ill side effects．
The new heat treatment cannot be considered a cure for Aids，says president of the company that makes the system．He says the treatment doesn't kill all traces of the virus．However，it kills enough virus particles to give a patient's immune system a reprieve in its deadly duel with HIV．
Tests of the Biologic-HT treatment began on 36 patients earlier this year．The treatment takes about four hours，and the patient normally feels well enough to leave the hospital or clinic the following morning．
So far，the patients who have had the treatment say they feel better and have developed no new opportunistic infections-disease that strike people with damaged immune systems．The patients also have experienced about a 50 percent increase in the number of T cells in their bodies．T cells are key disease-fighting cells of the immune system and the main target of HIV．

9．In high school，George Lucas didn't do much work because he spent all his time dreaming about racing cars．
Just a few days before graduation，George was driving home from the library in his Fiat； he prepared for a left turn by looking in the minor．But as he started the turn，he heard the sound of another car，a blowing horn（喇叭），and the speeding Chevy hit the driver side of his car．The little Fiat turned over four or five times before it was stopped by a big tree．Luckily，George did not die in the accident，but his recovery was slow and he needed months of physical treatment．He would never be able to race ears now．
The accident really changed George's life．He decided there must be some reason he survived，and made up his mind to get his act together and make something out of his life．He decided to go to university and developed an interest in reading and writing．He got on quite well in his studies．He didn't quite forget about racing cars．At that time instead of driving race cars，he began filming them．
You may have seen one or all of George Lucas's most famous films from the Star Wars series or the Indiana Jones trilogy．Not only has George produced movies，but also he has helped invent and develop new technologies to modernize the movie industry．Today，Lucas，who earns as much as﹩3.0billion，is one of the American film industry's most successful directors and producers．

50．What was George Lueas's life like in high school？C
A．He was the best race ear driver．
B．He did very well in his school subjects．
C．He didn't spend much time on his studies．
D．He was one of the worst students in school．
51．We can learn from this passage thatC．
A．George's Fiat was not seriously damaged
B．the Chevy driver didn't break the traffic law
C．George was seriously injured in the accident
D．the Chevy driver wasn't injured in the accident
52．The greatness of George Lucas mainly lies in hisD．

8．You're lost in the world of dreams and sleep．You roll over，smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate．And then，your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare when someone is screaming，"Get up!"It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!
Now，there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school．
The Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside，Britain，recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour，from 9am to 10am．And the results are surprising．
Since carrying out the later start，Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in  truancy，even hardly any lateness，and best of all，higher test scores．One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep，but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep．
The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster，who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late．
While adults are wide awake and ready at 8am，teenagers are not fully awake until 10am，sometimes even noon．Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning，but in fact，it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy，making the students easier to control．Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake．
The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change．

67．What's the best title of this passage？B
A．Get up early，teenagers!

D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason．
70．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．The Monkseaton school is satisfied with the result of experiments．
B．It is cruel for the teenagers to show up at 9am．
C．The Monkseaton school plans to change the school time forever．
D．Teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon．

7．Forget famous goal celebration such as"The Robot"by Peter Crouch and"The Dive"by Juergen Klinsmann，here comes the South African"Diski dance"．The Diski dance，which is performed through heading and kicking an imaginary ball，may be a goal celebration to watch in the following matches．
South Africa's Siphiwe Tshabalala and his teammates performed this different dance when they celebrated his goal against Mexico in the opening World Cup game on Friday．The dance is already popular on YouTube and many soccer fans may want to learn the moves．
Even South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has learnt the Diski dance which could be better than Cameroon Roger Milla's corner flag dance celebration in the 1990FIFA World Cup．US actor John Travolta performed the dance shortly after landing his Boeing 707at Lanseria airport，north of Johannesburg，on Wednesday morning．
Goal celebrations are now part of the biggest sporting event and players plan them in advance just in case they   find the back of the net．In football，a goal celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a goal．The celebration may be performed by the goal-scorer，his or her teammates，the manager or coaches and the supporters of the team．
The Robot goal celebration was so popular that England fans were surprised when Crouch，an English international footballer，said that he wouldn't be doing it any more unless England won the World Cup．
The word Diski is the word used by the local people for soccer and may also describe the local style of football which focuses on dribbling（帶球） and other tricks．

63．Besides"Diski dance"，how many types of goal celebrations are mentioned in the passage？B
