D．Overpriced hotels．
42．When is alcohol not able to get？D

A．You have to pay to visit the museums．
B．Only clothing with brand names are sold in London．
C．You cannot find Chinese food there．
D．The public transport is poor there．
12．Basically，without the possibility of failure，there is little possibility of success．Education is in danger of becoming a branch of the entertainment industry．Although education should indeed be entertaining where possible，it cannot always be fun．Often，it needs the"hard yards"．
    Some educationalists feel that if something causes worry it should be avoided at all costs．I would disagree．Facing up to challenges helps develop children．Avoiding challenges can severely limit their potential．Tougher children are able to try and fail．The less tough may simply fail to try anything new．
    I'm not advocating putting children under pressure．The real debate is perhaps what pressures are unavoidable．It's not about"throwing children into the deep end"，but rather encouraging them to put their foot in the water and giving them the skills to float．
    This latter approach is basically the work I and my team do at the University of Hull．We measure mental toughness and then provide interventions to improve this．These interventions include psychological skills such as goal setting，relaxation and thought control．So，for example，many children will say："What happens if it goes wrong？"We work hard to change this so that the sentence reads："What happens if it goes right？"One word difference，but a world away when thinking about challenges．
    We try to help children deal more effectively with life using a three-step approach．Firstly，it is important to set realistic and achievable goals．Then it is a matter of finding out what factors （因素） are helping children to achieve these goals and what factors are working against this．The final step is to discover which of these factors can be controlled，or at least influenced，and what factors the child is in reality stuck with．Redirecting children's energies to movable obstacles （障碍） can produce huge life changes．
    However，I think that for most of us we have become stress averse （反对的） and overreact to it．It has always been there，and it has always been the case that some people enjoy it，some need help to deal with it and some people's lives are ruined by it．
    Showing our children that stress can be faced with and beaten offers them a way forward．The more a fear is avoided，the bigger it gets．

67．From the passage，we know the writer believesA．
A．education needs challenges
B．education should always be fun
C．children should avoid facing challenges
D．the more challenges，the better for the children

A．some children are less tough
B．some pressures are avoidable
C．some challenges do good to children
D．some children are unaware of their potential
69．What do the writer and his team do at the University of Hull？D
A．Record what the children do in stressful situations．
B．Make the children tougher mentally and physically．
C．Put the children under pressure by giving them challenges．
D．Give the children challenges and suggest suitable approaches．
70．What is the correct attitude towards stress according to the writer？D
A．We should try our best to avoid stress．
B．We should love stress because stress is unavoidable．
C．We should put ourselves to the test in stressful situations．
D．We should experience stress and learn skills to deal with it．
9．The Future Body Network
Are you tired of wires that spread all over your desk and make your tea pour onto your keyboard？If so，you may consider using devices（设备）that use technologies like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth．Neither of them sends information through wires．It sounds perfect，doesn't it？But this is not the end of the story．
Scientists are now trying to use the human body to do a similar job．They have come up with the idea of sending information over the small electric field on the surface of the skin．To do this，a transmitter（传送器）could be built into your pocket or a portable device like an MP3 player．This transmitter would then use your skin's electrical field to send information to a receiving device．Since this kind of transmission can only go as far as 20cm，the receiver would have to be close to some part of your body．
By using this body network，you wouldn't need a wire to link your MP3 player in your pocket to the headphones in your ears，or to send to your computer the pictures from a digital camera hanging around your neck．Moreover，you can exchange electronic cards or share music files with others by shaking hands，dancing cheek（脸颊）to cheek，or kissing each other．
Now，here comes a question．Why would anyone want to use their body as a network when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth already exist？The answer lies in the fact that with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth，it is hard to limit the signals only to your own use．In a busy place，you can never know who might steal your information．However，body networking is safer．It is hard for other people to pick up signals sent over the surface of your skin since this body network only has a limit of 20cm from your body．Thus，no one else can easily pick up and interpret your signals．
Moreover，the most important use of body networking in the future may well be communication within the body rather than just on its surface．Imagine having a number of small devices implanted under your skin and using them to control your own nervous system．In other words，imagine that you have a powerful in-body computer．What do you think of this idea？Does it sound cool，like being a character in the movie RoboCop？Or would you prefer to be just an ordinary human being？
40．What's the main idea of the passage？D
A．Technology is causing us to be lazy
B．Technology is doing harm to our body．
C．Technology is advancing too quickly
D．Technology is making our life easier．
41．Which of the following is NOT the way to exchange information over the skin？B
A．Shaking hands
B．Looking into one's eyes．
C．Kissing each other
D．Dancing cheek to cheek．
42．The body network is safer becauseC．
A．the information is only important to you
B．the information is stored inside your body
C．the information is sent out only 20cm from your body
D．the information is controlled by your nervous system
43．The movie RoboCop is most likely aboutA．
A．a man that is controlled by a computer
B．a computer that turns into a man
C．a robot that catches a thief
D．a thief that steals a robot．
16．A newly discovered planet looks just right for life as we know it，according to an international group of astronomers．Orbiting a star about 500light-years away，the planet called Kepler-186f is about the same size as Earth．It orbits its star at the right distance for liquid water on the surface．That is a necessary condition for life as we know it．
But it is not exactly like Earth，NASA planetary scientist Elisa Quintana said．"It's more of an Earth's cousin．It's not an Earth's twin．It shares the same characteristics as Earth，but their parent stars are very different，"said Quintana．
Kepler-186f orbits a star that is smaller and cooler than our sun．But，writing in the journal Science，the astronomers say the planet appears to be a closer relative than most of the hundreds of others discovered so far．Some are massive gas-covered giants with thick，crushing atmospheres．Others orbit too close to their stars and are too hot for life．
Two planets discovered last year are in the right orbit and might be good candidates for life，Quintana says，but they are a bit bigger than Earth．"For the first time，we can actually say we now have a planet that is both Earth-sized and orbits in its star's habitable zone，"she said．
It may be the first time，but it probably is not the last，says Massachusetts Institute of Technology astrophysicist Sara Seager．"We've been waiting decades to understand how common habitable planets might be，and it's looking like they're really common．And this gives us excitement and motivation to take the next step，"said Seager．
The next step would be to look for signs of life in the atmospheres of these distant worlds．That would take a more sophisticated （高端的；复杂的） space telescope．But budget cuts threaten that mission，says University of California at Los Angeles astrophysicist Ben Zuckerman．"In principle，we could do this in the next few decades．But in practice，because there's no money，it's not gonna happen．It's not gonna happen in my lifetime，for example．"
Leaving earthbound concerns behind，NASA's Elisa Quintana believes that when the next-generation space telescope is launched，it will find that we are not alone in the universe．

63．What does the underlined word"That"（Paragraph 1）refer to？B
A．The right distance．       B．Liquid water．
C．The right size．           D．A star．
64．According to Elisa Quintana，Kepler-186fA．
A．is more of an Earth's cousin than an Earth's twin
B．has a lot in common with Earth，including their parent stars
C．is a lot bigger than Earth
D．is smaller and cooler than our sun
65．Ben Zuckerman and Elisa Quintana would probably agree thatC．
A．they can continue their research without worrying about money
B．it is the last time that they have discovered such a planet
C．a sophisticated space telescope plays an important role in their research
D．Earth is the only planet where we can find signs of life
66．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？D
A．Where there is water，there is life
B．A planet exactly like Earth found
C．Life discovered on Kepler-186f
D．New Earth-size planet found．
6．"I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net．"
"I often check my e-mail forty times a day．"
"I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net．"
"I spend more time in chat rooms than with my‘real-life'friends．"
Do you know any people like these？They are part of a new addiction （上瘾） called Internet addiction．Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use．People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet．
For example，one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried，and they called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab：he was surfing the net for several days straight．
Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted．And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them．They spend more time in cyberspace （电脑空间）than in the real world of friends and family．
Is"surfing the net"a hobby or an addiction for you？You may have a problem if you have these symptoms （症状）：
•You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet．
•You can't wait for your next online time．
•You plan to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．
•You go out with your friends less and less．

51．What does the beginning of the passage tell us？B
A．How to become an Internet addict．
B．What an Internet addict usually does．
C．Where to find an Internet addict．

D．It is terrible to imagine．
53．Why do people worry about the teens？D
A．The teens are wasting too much money．
B．They used to work on the Internet．
C．The playing field of the teens will disappear．
D．More and more of the teens will become addicted to the Internet．
54．The example in the passage shows thatC．
A．Internet problems are more serious among college students
B．Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep
C．Some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted

13．The iPon Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go．They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what's happening around them．（31）GOutside life is shut out．So are you one of them"？
For me； walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect．（32）D What's even better，wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says；"I'm not available for chatting at the moment j"
Suppose，you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough？but a colleague suddenly turns up．At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration．（33）FOnce again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that"Go away!"signal．
（34）CIt's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family．While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their'Yes．Mum．''Problem solved．
Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument．We'll be in a virtual （虚拟的） world，communicating with everyone else，or choosing not to，as we like．In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in．（35）AAnd they are changing our social habits along the way．
In the end，there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!It's so strange-suddenly，I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore
