13.Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream,at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants,then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this,because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,or are always allowed to choose what they eat,they will go for sweet and salty foods every time,and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home,they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime,it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem,and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

65.According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?B
A.Those who often take exercise.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
66.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can't choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
67.The word"steer"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB.
A.force         B.guide          C.expect          D.observe
68.The main purpose of the text is toC.
A.tell a story      B.provide facts
C.give advice       D.compare opinions.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了许多事实都表明孩子超重而且这种情况越来越严重.本文作者就此事实问题分析了原因.

解答 65.B.细节理解题.根据最后一段When they get home,they sit in front of the television------it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.可知,经常看电视的人可能吃的不健康的食品更多.所以答案选B.
66.D.细节理解题. 根据第二段最后一句If there were fewer of these restaurants,then probably children would buy less take-away food.如果这种餐馆少一些,那孩子们买方便食品的机会就更少.所以作者认为孩子超重的原因是快餐店太多了.所以答案选D.
67.B.猜测词义题.根据steering所在的句子therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.作者想说,我们应该鼓励年轻人更积极起来,也要"steer"他们远离快餐店和一些不好的饮食习惯.所以可以猜测"steer"是指guide"指导,引导".答案选B.
68.C.主旨大意题.本文分析了几个使孩子变胖的因素并提出了如何控制孩子变胖的建议,目的是建议让孩子让孩子们远离快餐店和不良饮食习惯;故选C.

3.A winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations.Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice,hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite,while sipping cocktails (鸡尾酒) in glasses also made of ice.
A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway,the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000curious tourists,including 30,000who stayed overnight,since opening seasonally 11years ago.Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin,dozens of couples will exchange vows (誓约) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel,made entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs.
Average temperatures fall below minus 20degrees C (minus four F) in winter,but inside the hotel's 36rooms it is relatively comfortable.Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator,trapping body heat inside.Each room is uniquely decorated,using designs created by Quebec architecture students.Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses.
First-time guests of the hotel,however,are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing.This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed up with a brick and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages(全套服务) for one-night accommodations at each.Prices for one night only at the ice hotel start at 200US dollars per person.
The 3,000-square-metre (32,300-square-feet) buildings take six weeks starting in December to build,using 15,000tons of snow and 500tons of ice,at a cost of some 750,000US dollars.Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening,the hotel will close on March 27and then melt away with the arrival of spring.
63.What is true with the ice hotel?D
A.630,000people have visited it.
B.Its rooms all look alike.
C.It stays open for two months each year.

A.stops heat passing throughit
B.collects and reflects light and heat
C.makes things become very cold
D.works like an air-conditioner
65.First-time guests are advised to stay there only one night becauseA.

B.their other night is with an ordinary hotel
C.new guests have no advantages over old ones
D.they may find the beds made of ice too hard to sleep on.
4.As we know,most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money.But money is not all powerful.Money can't buy many things such as time and true love.There are 24 hours in a day.Sometimes when we are very happy,we wish that the period of happiness would last longer.But no matter what we do,or how much money we are willing to pay,we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours.On the other hand,when we are unhappy,money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly.True love is another thing which money cannot buy.Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much.Once he dies,he can give us no more love.Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before?Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love.Money can buy us diamond things,beautiful clothes,but never time and love.So money,after all,is not all powerful.

1.Audio digital books(有声数字化图书) are becoming more and more popular these years.One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be"read"in many places comfortably.
The first favorite place for many people is in bed,before going to sleep.There are nights when a person would want to do nothing but lie in bed while going over what has happened in the day.Many people like to just lie in bed in the dark before they fall asleep at night.This would be the perfect time to listen to an audio digital book.If you read an ordinary book,the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand.An audio book can just be listened to while a person stays comfortably in bed.
The next favorite place to listen to audio digital books would be in the kitchen.For some people kitchen chores are boring.Audio digital books provide good entertainment,and people don't need to turn pages.
An audio digital book is a favorite while a person is gardening.They can help take a person's mind off jobs at hand.It can be fun and exciting to do gardening with the help of these books.
Another great place would be while exercising.It allows the mind to be free while the legs,body and arms are kept busy.This would be a great place to listen to these books.
The next favourite place would be while commuting(乘车上下班),either on the road to and from work,on buses,trains or even on long flights.They prove to be a good companion(陪伴) and help reduce stress.

59.Why are audio digital books becoming more and more popular these years?C
A.Because they are good.
B.Because they are useful
C.Because they are convenient.
D.Because they are newest.
60.The second paragraph mainly tells usD.
A.only audio digital books can be listened to in bed.
B.You have to keep the light on while reading ordinary books
C.It is a good habit to lie in bed and listen to audio digital books

61.Why is an audio digital book a person's best choice when he is exercising?A
A.Because it helps his mind to relax
B.Because it helps keep his body busy
C.Because it helps him to save time 
D.Because it helps build a strong body
62.What is this passage mainly about?C
A.What is an audio digital book?

D.Where do people like to"read"audio digital books?
8.You probably hear it all the time-people telling you to"learn English".But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don't need to bother learning a new language?Not at all.In fact,an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages,thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism.
Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delays-a late or absent development of talking.But US magazine Scientific American has revealed that this is not true,and reported that children who speak more than one language"show greater mental flexibility,a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory."As the New York Times put it,"being bilingual,it turns out,makes you smarter."
In Europe,learning foreign languages is increasingly popular.A European report shows that from 2005-2010,the percentage of European students learning a foreign language rose from 67.5percent to 79.2percent.Most European kids start learning another language at age 6.In Belgium,it starts at 3.New reforms being introduced in the UK will mean all children could be taught a foreign language,such as Mandarin or Greek,from the age of 7.The most popular foreign language for European kids was English,followed by German and French.
In comparison,Americans don't  give a fig for learning foreign languages.Compared to 50percent of European adults who are bilingual,only 9percent of adults in the US are fluent in more than one language,according to a 2011report.American students are often not exposed to a second language until high school.
However,recent statistics show demand is growing in the US for people to become more bilingual.According to a USA Today chart released in July,21percent of US children speak another language at home.A number of institutions in the country are also pushing foreign languages in schools.Three school districts in Delaware will launch Chinese and Spanish programs next year.More people are learning Chinese,French and Spanish.

31.Psychologist used to believe that children who grow up bilingualB.
A.are more flexible mentally
B.are slow in the development of talking
C.have a poorer working memory
D.are smarter in understanding abstract concept
32.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.Americans are more interested in learning another language than Europeans
B.British kids began to learn foreign languages at the earliest age

D.The differences between bilingual education in Europe and USA.
18.There is a wide and deep choice of a career.Whether he's a hand in construction or sitting behind the desk working on a computer,everyone has some ideas of what is an attractive career.However,making a career choice is not simply a matter of following a dream; for most people it means a lot of research and soul searching.Choosing the right career becomes one of the most important decisions of an individual's life.
It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family's business when it came to making a career choice.These days,a career path can start anywhere and then  veer off  into something totally different.
Career choices must be realistic and well thought out.It is not uncommon for persons to start a career path and realize they have made a terrible mistake,feeling as if it may be too late to turn around.Not only does a career choice concern your strongest skills and interest,it is also something that you will be doing continuously to bring in income.This is why a career choice can be such a personal decision.Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime; it is now even more unusual to keep the same career during someone's working life.
There are a great many measures in helping one choose the right profession.A number of websites offering tools such as career tests and information,educational resources,resume services and the kind can be found.It is important for one to research one's career in this changing economy situation,and choose the best from several related career choices.

67.According to the author choosing the right careerD.
A.is not difficult at all
B.needs a lot of dreams
C.is an interesting thing

A.set out to do the same job
B.change the former course

D.dream of getting an easy job

A.change his job often
B.do the same job all his life
C.find a few good jobs at a time

C.employer's phone numbers
D.instructions on resume.
5.Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women,according to a new study.For men,getting married saves an hour of housework a week."It's a well-known pattern,"said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research."Men usually work more outside the home,while women take on more of the housework."
He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist.But in general,marriage means more housework for women and less for men."And the situation gets worse for women when they have children."Stafford said.
Overall,times are changing in the American home.In 1976,women busied themselves with 26weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work,compared with 17hours in 2005.Men are taking on more housework,more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976to 13in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework,about 12weekly hours,while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern,with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men.Single men worked the hardest around the house,more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further.With more than three children,for example,wives took on more of the extra work,clocking about 28hours a week compared with husbands'10hours.

67.According to the"well-known pattern"in Paragraph 1,a married manC.
A.takes on heavier work                     B.does more housework
C.is the main breadwinner( 养家糊口的人)   D.is the master of the house
68.How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?D
A.About 28.     B.About 26.
C.About 13.     D.About 6.
69.What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?A
A.An unmarried man.         B.An older married man.
C.A younger married man.    D.A married man with children.
70.What can we conclude from Stafford's research?C
A.Marriage gives men more freedom.
B.Marriage has effects on job choices.
C.Housework sharing changes over time.
D.Having children means doubled housework.
2.All areas of the world face a nurses shortage.But the shortage is most severe in developing countries.Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay,better working conditions and better chances for career development.For example,nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.
    The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people.The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU).Now,more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States,Canada and Britain.
    Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris.He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries.He says,"There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand.And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing."Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years.At the same time,the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow,intensifying the shortage of nurses.
    Gaetan Lafortune said,"In the U.S.,for instance,some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020."The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D.Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses.As a result of that,O.E.C.D.countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.
1.What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?C
A.The demand for nurses will decrease.
B.Many nurses will be too old to work.
C.Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.
D.Nurses are often looked down upon.
E.Aging populations will increase rapidly
 A.a and b      B.b and c      C.b and e      D.c and d
2.The underlined word"intensify"in para.3 means"A".
A.strengthen       B.neglect          C.reduce           D.cause
3.We know from this text that America and the EU countriesB.
A.refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nurses
B.have at least one nurse out of 100 people
C.don't like to train nurses of their own countries
D.have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations
4.What does the text mainly tell us?D
A.Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries.
B.The different attitudes towards nursing in different countries.
C.Nurses shortage will result in serious consequences.
D.The health care industry needs more nurses.
3.If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome's dental surgery(手术) in Glasgow,you'll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth.Jerome says,‘That's because they're frightened.'
(71)B‘That's why I don't wear a white coat.I find that's one of the things that people associate with pain.In fact,my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation,interest and,above all,enjoyment.'
     Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain,or at the very least,formal,chinical visits.He says,‘If people are relaxed,entertained and correctly treated,they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.'
       Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques,‘(72)DThe headsets are used for the first check-up,where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth."Then the headset switches to a special camera,to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.'
       Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist's.Today there is the smell of orange."When people walk in,I want them to realize with all their senses that it's not like going to dentist's.Smell is very important(73)F.
       Known as Clasgow's most fashionable dentist,Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously‘(74)C'.For example,Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them,rather than scraping them.‘It feels a bit strange,but as long as people are relaxed,it's not painful.'(75)A‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient,you make it easier for yourself'He sees his patient-centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession.
      At that moment,a patient arrives.Jerome rushes over,offers him a cup of tea,askes him what video he'd like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.
        
A.Five years ago,Jerome went to the United States to do research.
B.He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid.
C.The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing.
D.We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them.
E.Now they look forward to their visits here.
F.That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists.
G.Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they're in pain.
