5.Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States,according to a new survey.The city has high unemployment,terrible weather,heavy taxes,and ordinary sports teams,all of which have pushed it to the No.1 position in the Forbes.com list.
"Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories.And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname:the Mistake by the lake,"Forbes said on its website,
The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country.Crime and unemployment secured the No.2 spot for Stockton,which held the top position in last year's ranking.Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty,while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five.
"A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now,dealing with high unemployment,with declining producing bases.Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years."
Despite (尽管) its fine weather,Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting (上下班往返) time,and violent crime which sent it into sixth place.
"One of the biggest surprises is Miami.The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes,"Badenhausen added.
Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis,Buffalo,Canton,Ohio and Chicago,which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent.New York,the nation's biggest city,is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place.

2.Are we getting more stupid?According to Gerald Crabtree,a scientist at Stanford University in the US,we are.
You may not want to hear this,but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill."If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times,he or she would be one of the brightest among us,"Crabtree told The Guardian.
At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea.In the past,intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food.The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death.However,after the spread of agriculture,when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities,the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.
This is not hard to understand.Most of the time,pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts(促使) you to lose weight when summer comes.And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less,we become less smart.
These mutations(变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years.The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes.He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence,there are two or more mutations in each of us.
However,Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities,but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence.For example,spearing a tiger doesn't necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem.Moreover,the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.
"You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago.He just wouldn't exist,"Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick,UK,told Live Science."But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights(洞察力) that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation."
61.What is Crabtree's recent finding according to the article?D
A.The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.
B.Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.
C.Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.
D.Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.
62.According to Crabtree,ancient humansB
A.had much more genes that determine human intelligence
B.were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures
C.relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence
D.developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities
63.Some argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they thinkD.
A.people today are under much more pressure than early humans
B.it's ridiculous to compare a hunter's and a poet's intelligence
C.modern education is far more advanced than ancient education
D.human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
64.What is Thomas Hills'attitude toward Crabtree's theory?B
A.Supportive          B.Unfavorable           C.Worried            D.Confused.
9.Does this situation seem familiar to you?Your English is progressing well,the grammar is now familiar,the reading comprehension is no problem,you are communicating quite fluently,but:Listening is STILL a problem!First of all,remember that you are not alone.Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language.The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.The first step is to find listening resources.The Internet is really a useful tool for English students.You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com.The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis,you might still be frustrated (懊恼) by limited understanding.What should you do?
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand-even if you continue not to understand for a long time.
●Do not translate what you hear into your native language.
●Listen for the general idea of the conversation.Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany.In the beginning,when I didn't understand a word,I insisted on translating it in my mind.This method usually resulted in confusion.Then,after the first six months,I discovered two very important facts.Firstly,translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker.Secondly,most people repeat themselves constantly.By remaining calm,I noticed that-even if I didn't pay much attention,I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
55.The best way to improve our listening is toB.
A.practise as much as possible
B.find as many listening resources as possible
C.use the Internet like a radio station
D.speak naturally and read as much as possible
56.Which of the following is a good habit when listening?B
A.Try to understand everything.
B.Try to get the main ideas.
C.Pay much attention to details.
D.Translate each word in your mind.
57.Why did the writer mention his/her experience in Germany?C
A.To prove the importance of translating.
B.To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.
C.To tell us the importance of staying calm.
D.To point out an ineffective method of listening.
58.The underlined part"a wall"in the last paragraph refers to"A".
A.a communication barrier (障碍)          
B.culture shock
C.language understanding 
D.a little misunderstanding.
19.We may all like to consider ourselves free spirits.But a study of the tracks left by 50,000mobile phone users over three months has finally proved that the truth is otherwise.
"We are all in one way or another boring,"says Albert-Laszlo Barabasi at the Center for Complex Network Research at Northeastern University in Boston,who co-wrote the study."Spontaneous individuals are largely absent from the population,"
Barabasi and colleagues used three months'worth of data from a mobile phone network to track the mobile phone towers each person's phone connected to each hour of the day,showing their general location.They conclude that regardless of whether a person typically remains close to home or wanders far and wide,their movements are probably predictable as much as 93percent of the time.
Surprisingly,the mobile phone data showed that individuals'movements were more or less as predictable at weekends as on weekdays,suggesting that routine(日程) is rooted in human nature rather than being an effect of work patterns.
The mobile phone records were handled to make out the most visited locations for each user.Then the probability of finding a given user at his most visited locations at each hour through the day was calculated.
People were to be found in their most visited location for any given hour 70percent of the time.Not surprisingly,the figure increased at night,and decreased at lunchtime and in the early evening,when most people were returning home from work.
The team analyzed the randomness(随意性) of people's traces to show it was possible in theory to predict the average person's places as much as 93percent of the time.
"Say your routine movement is from home to the coffee shop to work:if you are at home and then go to the coffee shop it's easy for me to predict that you are going to work,"says co-author Nicholas Blumm.
This predictability was not much affected by differences in age,gender,language spoken or whether a person lived in a rural or urban setting.

58.The"spontaneous individuals"are most probably people whoB.
A.are boring in some way
B.act with much freedom
C.can live without a mobile phone
D.rely much on a mobile phone in life
59.A phone user's location is shown byC.
A.which mobile phone network he is connected to
B.the content of his every phone call
C.which mobile phone tower he is connected to
D.how often he uses the phone every day
60.According to the sixth paragraph,a person is more likely toD at night than in the early evening.
A.return home from work
B.be found at home
C.take home as his most visited place
D.go to his most visited place
61.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.The factors that help determine one's routine.
B.The predictability of one's routine.
C.The influence of mobile phones on one's routine.
D.The new application of mobile phone.
