7．The cheapest room and board in Jefferson City，Missouri，over the weekend was at the county jail（监狱），and 170 people gladly checked in．Cole County charged $ 30 a night for anyone who volunteered to go behind bare on Friday or Saturday night．So officials could give the new jail a test run before it opened for real this week．People from three states spent the night at the jail，including some lawyers and a couple celebrating their first anniversary． 
"It was something they could experience without having to get a criminal record，"Cole County Sheriff （治安官）Greg White said．"They spent the night and gained all understanding that they would not want to ever do this again．"
Jailers tried to give the citizens the full experience．They were told to give up their jewelry，cell phones，and other personal belongings．They were booked and photographed and led into the jail commons． They could keep their cell doors open，but that trapped feeling was still there because me outer room doors were locked，said Bob Watson，60，a reporter for the Jefferson City News-Tribune who spent Friday night at the jail．"While it was not a true copy of jail，you got some sense of what it's like to hear that door lock behind you，"Watson said．
Two other feelings were boredom and a lack of choice，illustrated by the television being left on one channel and drowned out anyway by everybody talking．
Bed was a steel bunk with a thin mattress （垫）．Overhead，a 40-watt bulb stayed lit through the night in each cell．Handy for guards to see inmates，but not helpful to good sleep．How about the food？Dinner Friday night included cheesy pasta with turkey bits and coffee cake．"I wouldn't pay for it in a restaurant，but you won't die trying to eat it，"Watson said．
56．The 170 people stayed in the county jail toA．
A．make a holiday                       B．get punishment

B．The jail's test run proved successful．
C．The 170 had the feeling of real prisoners．       
D．The 170 weren't treated as real prisoners．
58．The underlined phrase"illustrated by…"is used toC．

17．Frozen fruit and vegetables can be healthier，with higher levels of vitamins and cancer fighting antioxidants （抗氧化剂），that leafy"fresh"produce．Two independent studies found more beneficial nutrients in everything from frozen broccoli florets to carrots．In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetables scored better on antioxidant-type compounds（化合物）．Consumption of these antioxidant compounds is considered beneficial in preventing cancer and supporting the wording of the body，brain，skin and eyes．
Produce bought from the supermarket greengrocer sections is full of color，while many stores even use fine mist sprays （喷剂）to give a just picked look．This supermarket theatre convinces shoppers to pay an extra payment for food that they believe is good for their family's health as well as being tasty．However，the reality is that these vegetables and fruit may well have been held in storage for a month，while they then sit in the fridge at home for days before being eaten．
Over the days，they gradually  deteriorate，slowly losing some of the nutrients associated with leafy greens and fruit．By contrast，frozen vegetables and fruit are chilled（冷藏）soon after harvest and so keep higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants until they are eaten．
Two teams，one from Leatherhead Food Research and the other from the University of Chester，carried out 40tests to measure nutrient levels in produce which had been sitting in a fridge for three days and the frozen equivalent （相等物）．The findings show that eating newly picked produce is the healthiest option； however，frozen food can be almost as good and is often better than items sold as"fresh"．Leatherhead's Dr Rachel Burch said："We must ignore the mistaken opinion that fresh food is always better for us than frozen food．"
These results show that frozen food can be nutritionally comparable to fresh produce．Direct comparison：In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetable scored better on antioxidant-type compounds including Vitamin C，polyphenols and anthocyanins （多酚和花青素），a study found．Her team found frozen broccoli had higher levels of Vitamin C．However，fresh food scored better on polyphenols，which are thought to help prevent cancer．
32．What does the passage mainly tell us？D
A．Fresh food is better than frozen food
B．Frozen food might cause cancer．
C．Frozen food is as good as fresh food

33．Why do some supermarkets spray fine mist on fruit and vegetables？C
A．To keep them in good quality
B．To make them taste good．
C．To make them look fresh
D．To make them sell cheaply．

D．Die out．
35．What is more helpful in preventing cancer？C
A．Vitamin C

C．Fresh fruit and vegetables
D．Anthocyanins．
18．Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer．I always encourage such people，but I also explain that there's a big difference between"being a writer"and writing．In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame，not the long hours alone at a typewriter．"You've got to want to write，"I say to them，"not want to be a writer．"
The reality is that writing is a lonely，private and poor-paying thing．For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wishes are never rewarded．When I left a 20-year job in the U．S．Coast Guard to become a freelance writer，I had no hopes at all．What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building．It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom．I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer．
After a year or so，however，I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself．It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat．But I knew I wanted to write．I had dreamed about it for years．I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering：What if？I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure．This is the shadow（阴影）land of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there．

33．The passage is meant toB．
A．encourage young people to seek good jobs
B．warn young people of the suffering a successful writer has to experience
C．show young people it's unrealistic for writers to seek wealth and fame
D．advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a writer
34．Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing work？D．
A．He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year．
B．He wasn't able to produce a single book．
C．He found his dream would never come true．
D．He hadn't seen a change for the better．
35．What can be concluded from the passage？C．
A．Famous writers usually live a poor and lonely life．
B．Writers often find their work interesting and rewarding．
C．The chances for a writer to become successful are small．
D．A writer's success depends on luck rather than on efforts．
15．Bar codes are one way that the U．S．Postal Service streamlines mail of the wrong hands．A letter that comes without a bar code or cancelled stamp might not have been processed by the U．S．Postal Service and it might indicate that something's fishy．（可疑的）Can you decode a bar code the way the U．S．Postal Service can？
Here's How
1．Here's how to read the bar code on your letter．
•Most U．S．letter bar codes have bars of two lengths：long and short．
•Every bar code should start and end with long bars； ignore those．
•Look at the rest of the bars in groups of five，starting with the second bar．Each group of five represents one digit．（数字）
2．Here's how to figure out what those digits are．
•The five bars stand for one of these numbers：7，4，2，1，0．
•Some genius figured out that this range would allow you to come up with the digits 0to 9．You do it by adding the numbers of the long bars together．
Say you have this bar code：
Here，the 4and 2places have long bars．Added together，they total 6，so this bar code stands for 6．
Say you have this bar code：
The 1and 0places have long bars．Added together，they total 1，so this bar code stands for 1．
Say you have this bar code：
The 7and 4pieces have long bars．Added together，they total 11，but there is no 11in this system，so this bar code stands for 0．
3．Now let's look at the bar code on a letter．

Ignore the first and last bars of the whole bar code．Then look at the next 20bars to find the zip code （0680）．The next two sets of five bars give your mail carrier's number （10153）．The rest of the bars in the bar code indicate the house or maibox number．The house number is 32．

63．Why does US Postal Service just use five numbers for the five bars？D
A．They are easy to read．            B．They are ohosen only by accident．
C．They can stand for the long bars． D．They are enough to make ten digits．
64．Which of the following bar codes otands for"7"according to the text？B
A．   B．  C．  D．
65．According to the text，we know thatC．
A．the bar code often beings with a short bar
B．the last short her is often ignored
C．the mail route should follow the zip code
D．the bar code can show your house color
66．The purpose of the text is to let us know how toB．
A．create a bar code  B．recognize a bar code
C．send a letter      D．make the maibox safe．
2．
A．pursuing    B．conditions    C．protect    D．remote    E．debate

ORGAN PIPE CACTUS NATIONAL MONUMENT，Ariz．--On a hot desert morning last week，a group of 20tourists gathered in the visitor center in Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument to attend a mandatory safety briefing （简报会） before taking a guarded van tour to Quitobaquito Springs．The Springs is part of the 69percent of the （41）Dborder park west of Tucson that has been closed to the public since Kris Eggle was shot and killed while （42）Adrug runners armed with AK-47s in 2002．
Organ Pipe was named"the most dangerous national park"that year and also in 2003by the U．S．Park Rangers Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police，before the group discontinued the（43）I．The sharp increase of drug activity on Arizona's southern border since the 1990s has turned Organ Pipe rangers into Border Patrol agents，and encouraged state lawmakers to pass several laws cracking down on （严厉打击） （44）Fimmigrants within the state．
Since 2009，the park has offered van tours to the Springs，as long as rangers armed with rifles go along to（45）Cthe visitors．Now，ten years after Eggle's murder，the park's leadership has （46）Jto open up a portion of the closed areas to the public in March，citing improved safety （47）Band a big increase in Border Patrol agents in the area．
In the run-up to Tuesday's Republican presidential primary in Arizona，immigration has once again been a hotly （48）Gtopic in the state：Mitt Romney in a （49）Elast week praised Arizona's immigration laws as a"model"for the country，while President Obama's Justice Department is appealing Arizona to turn over one of those laws，called SB1070．
12．You，re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater．You listen to their conversation：
"I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Betrolla！They are almost impossible to find．Isn't it beautiful？And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome"．
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater．It's nice and the price is right． You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla，but those girls looked really stylish．They must know．So，you buy it．You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency．They are actually paid to go from store to store，talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes．
Every day we notice what people are wearing，driving and eating．If the person looks cool，the product seems cool，too．This is the secret of undercover（暗中进行的）marketing．Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it．
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising．This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34．It is a golden group．They have a lot of money to spend，but they don't trust ads．
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go．Some people might call this practice misleading，but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．"Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing"．
However，one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater．Advertising executives would say it's no less real than flu ad．The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something．You don't know a conversation you overhear is just a performance．

64．The two attractive young women were talking loudly so that they could．B
A．get the sweater at a lower price
B．be heard by people around
C．be admired by other shoppers
D．decide on buying the sweater
65．Lorenzo Bertolla isD．
A．a very popular male singer   B．an advertising agency
C．a clothing company in Rome   D．the brand name of a sweater
66．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？C
A．The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company．
B．The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads．
C．Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct．
D．Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government．
67．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？D
A．Two Attractive Shopperb  B．Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C．Ways of Advertising      D．Undercover Marketing．
19．From bankers to factory staff，employees in the West face a cold prospectof losing their jobs as a global recession（衰退） starts to bite．For colleagues in the East，the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut．
Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times，which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports．The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff，but build up a more loyal and devoted group．
"In the Confucian mindset（儒家思想），the right thing to do is to share the burden，which is the sense of collective（集体的） responsibility．While in the West，it's more about individual survival，"said Michael Benoliel，associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University （SMU）．
In contrast，local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands，but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups，job cuts will probably be less severe．
Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September，up from 3.8 percent in January，while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent．But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January．
Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West，the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad．
36．The underlined word"prospect"in the first paragraph most probably meansCA．weather      B．scene     C．future      D．place
37．Compared with job cuts，pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT thatB

38．According to Michael Benoliel，the Confucian mindset focuses onB．
A．human rights        
B．sharing responsibility
C．personal profits      
D．individual survival
39．In which company can we infer the job cuts will be probably the most severe？A
A．A local American group．
B．A small Japanese company．
C．A German branch of a Korean multinational．
D．A Hong Kong's unit of a French company．
40．The passage mainly tells usD
A．the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with today
B．the cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at present
C．the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturn
D．the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recession．
16．A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe．Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean，leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports．
    Grimsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe．What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier（冰川） of ice up to 12 meters thick．The hot volcano heats up the ice above it，which then forms a layer（层）of water between the glacier and the volcano．This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano，keeping it stable．As the water flows out from under the glacier，the pressure lifts．The lava（岩浆） from the volcano then comes up to the surface．This is exactly what happened today．
    Now，airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash．According to KLM，one of Europe's biggest airlines，airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it．Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane's engines，causing damage to the plane．
  The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland．The volcano left ash and sharp glass-like
rocks all over the countryside．Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating
ash-covered grass or the sharp object．
63．What makes Grimsvom different from other volcanoes？A
A．It is below ice．
B．It lies under the sea
C．It is the largest volcano                     
D．It is lava affects the airlines

A．The slow flow of water                      
B．The low water temperature
C．The thick glacier                           
D．The water pressure
65．Which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption？C
A．People stop traveling in Europe              
B．Airlines suffer from the loss of planes
C．It becomes dangerous for animals to eat outside 
D．Farmers have lost many of their animals
