6．The name of Macau comes from the word Magao （A-Ma Temple），which were shrines （圣地） dedicated to Mazu，a holy sea goddess worshiped by Macau people．It was said that when the Portuguese people first came here in the middle of sixteenth century，one of the officers asked a fisherman the name of the land．The man misunderstood the officer's question，and answered"Magao"-the name of A-Ma Temple in front them．
Many people wonder how Macau is spelled．Is it"Macao"or"Macau"？Both are actually correct．Macao is Portuguese，and this is the official spelling backed by Macau SAR Government．Macau is English，that's how they spell it in the U．S．and other parts of the world．However，most publications use"Macau"as the preferred spelling
Members of the Southern Song Dynasty and some 50，000followers were the first recorded inhabitants （居民） of the area，seeking shelter in Macau from invading Mongols in 1277．They were able to defend their settlements and establish themselves there．
The Hoklo Boat people were the first to show commercial interest in Macau as a trading center for the southern provinces．During the Ming Dynasty （1368-1643），fishermen migrated to Macau from various parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces and built the A-Ma Temple in which they prayed for safety on the sea
Chinese fishermen have been living and working in the Pearl River Delta for more than four thousand years．The small peninsula and islands that came to be called Macau were first settled by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century
In 1998，Chinese （Cantonese） was given official status and the same legal power as Portuguese，the official language．The Chinese government assumed sovereignty over Macau on December 20，1999，ending 329years of Portuguese rule

B．is first called by the Portuguese
C．is only used in publications

B．The A-Ma Temple was built in honour of a holy sea goddess
C．The inhabitants in Macau mainly made their living by fishing before the 16th century
D．Macau didn't belong to China until December 20，1999
71．Members of the Southern Song Dynasty went to Macau in order toC
A．show commercial interest in Macau
B．find a good place for fishing
C．get away from their enemies
D．establish Macau SAR there．

3．Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth．It may also help to protect the body against diseases such as diabetes and cancer．And now，researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementia （痴呆）．
Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes，which scientists call"cognitive （认知） abilities．"Dementia is difficult to treat．Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding．And the disease is very frightening to sufferers．Chris Roberts suffers from dementia．He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving．"The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car，not just forgetting where I was going-I wouldn't know where I was．"More than 47million people around the world suffer from dementia．The World Health Organization reports that 60percent of them live in low-and middle-income countries．
We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts，lentils （扁豆） and fatty fish．We also get vitamin D from the sun．But that is not dependable．In some parts of the world，there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D．Also，sunblock prevents the vitamin from entering the body．To add to the problem，the skin's ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages．
Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia．The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people．Nutritional sciences professor Joshua Miller led the team．He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects．He said tests showed that about 60percent of the group was low in vitamin D．
32．Which of the following is true about vitamin D？B
A．Vitamin D can decrease people's risk of heart diseases．

The settingfor the festival adds to its beauty．Cannes is located on the French Riviera，which enjoys an average of 12 hours of sunshine a day in May and has mild winters．The festival benefits from the weather and all the usual attractions can be seen．at the festival．Cannes is also famous for its luxury restaurants and shops．It's not unusual to be sitting in a restaurant and to look across at the next table and see film stars and directors with their friends．

1．As Christmas approaches，towns and cities around the UK are preparing for a very British celebration．
The switching on of a town's Christmas lights has become an increasingly competitive event over the years，with some councils （会议） spending lots of money to attract A-list famous persons to do the honors．
The American singer Mariah Carey flew to London in November to switch on the lights at one of the city's biggest shopping centers，while Jim Carrey lighted Oxford Street and promoted his new film at the same time．
Traffic in the historic English city of Bath was brought to a halt as thousands of fans crowded to see the Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage conducted the switching-on ceremony．
Some celebrations do not go according to the plan，as was seen in Birmingham when dozens of people were injured as the famous British boy band JLS took the stage．
Not all towns can afford to bring in an internationally-known star，so many switchon ceremonies are handled by ex-TV talent show competitors．
Pantomime （圣诞童话剧） stars are also much in demand at this time of year，as they aim to promote their Christmas shows．
But if your council hasn't got the budget to bring in a famous face，what are the cheaper alternatives？
A town in the west of England chose to let the public decide by giving their suggestions online．The result：a 21-year-old DIY store worker was given the honor．
"I was amazed and delighted to be asked，"said Scott Parker，"it's just a special gift and not something I'd，ever thought about before．"

56．According to the passage，what kind of special celebration can you see at Christmas in UK？D
A．People meeting their favorite stars and getting special gifts．
B．Well-known persons invited to make a performance in public．
C．A-list persons lighting Oxford Street and promoting their films．
D．Switching-on ceremonies that are conducted by honored persons．
57．The underlined word"halt"in Paragraph 4probably means"B"．
A．start           B．stop           
C．ban             D．run
58．Which of the followings can be learned from the passage？C
A．Mariah Carey is invited to Bath to switch on the lights．
B．Pantomime stars rarely appear at events like this．
C．Not all those who switch on the Christmas lights can make lots of money．
D．Average persons can not get a chance to switch on the Christmas lights．
59．The following are famous persons EXCEPTA．
A．Scott Parker      B．Mariah Carey
C．Nicolas Cage      D．Jim Carrey．
11．-Do you know the headmaster well？
-Not really，just a nodding ______．（　　）
A．acquaintanceB．administrationC．consequenceD．consideration
18．How Would You Like to Pay？
How do you pay for your coffee？Is it with change？I use my tap-and-go card．I don't even need to enter my PIN number or a signature to approve payment．It's quicker and everybody in the queue is happy．
Contactless payments are gaining popularity．Those concerned about security will be pleased to know that the amount of money you can spend in one-go is limited-in the UK it's currently£30．But if the card is used a few times in a row，a PIN number will be needed．If a thief gets hold of your card and goes on a crazy shopping，your bank covers you against fraud．However，if someone steals your bills，that's your bad luck!
For those who are always forgetting where they put their cards，there's a new solution：wearable technique：clothing and devices that have combined electronic technology．Kenneth Cukier，an economist and technology expert，says："You can simply take any wireless card and the chip （芯片） from it that your bank might issue you with，and you can put it in a coat．When you want to make a payment just wave your arm in front of the terminal and leave the coffee shop with your latte （拿铁咖啡）．This is intended for people who don't want to take their card out of their wallet，use their phone or their watch．"
Good，isn't it？And new ways of spending money are not stopping there．The future is all about biometrics （生物识别技术）．Very convenient if you are at the beach or a festival-there's a new system in development which will make it possible to read the unique maps of veins （静脉） under the surface of your finger，and use them to confirm payments-or prove that it's you making the payments．You just need to remember which finger you registered with．
So spending money is becoming easier all the time．And the temptation to buy more stuff increases．But it's worth bearing in mind that earning the money in the first place will still require the same effort．Back to work then!

67．The underlined word"fraud"in Paragraph 2is closest in meaning to"A"．
A．theft            B．protection          C．cheat              D．prevention
68．What must be done before you use biometrics for payment？D
A．You must prove that it's you making the payments．
B．You must have a smart phone or a watch with you．
C．You must have something to read your fingers．
D．You must have one of your fingers registered．

B．People can only use a wireless card to consume coffee．
C．Wearable technique is the safest way to make a payment．
D．A tap-and-go card needs a signature to approve payment．

No-garbage （垃圾） lunches．How much do you throw away after lunch？Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again．Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school．
No-car day．On a no-car day，nobody comes to school in a car．Not the students and not the teachers!Cars give pollution to our air，so remember：work jump，bike and run．Use your legs!It's lots of fun．．
