17．When international aid is given，steps must be taken to make sure the aid reaches the people ______ it is intended．（　　）
A．for whomB．to whichC．for whichD．to whom
1．A study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods：change their memories．Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences．"One week later，"Loftus says，"we told those people we'd fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences．"Some accounts included one key additional detail："You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream．"The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured （人为促生的） memory through leading questions"Who were you with？How did you feel？"By the end of the study，up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick，and many said they'd avoid eating it．
When Loftus published her findings，she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries．Unfortunately，it's not that easy．False memories appear to work only for foods you don't eat on a regular basis．But most important，it is likely that false memories can be implanted （灌输） only in people who are unaware of the mental control．And lying to a patient is immoral，even if a doctor believes it's for the patient's benefit．
Loftus says there's nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children，"I say，wake up．Parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years，and nobody seems to mind．If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that，you might think that's a more moral lie．Decide that for yourself．"

76．Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions？C
A．To improve her computer program．
B．To find out their attitudes towards food．
C．To find out details she can make use of．
D．To predict what food they'll like in the future．
77．What did Loftus find out from her research？B
A．People believe what the computer tells them．
B．People can be led to believe in something false．
C．People tend to forget their childhood experiences．
D．People are not always aware of their personalities．
78．According to the study，people may stop having a certain food if theyD．
A．learn it is harmful for health
B．lie to themselves that they don't want it
C．are willing to let doctors control their minds
D．think they once had a bad experience of eating it
79．What is the biggest concern with the method？A
A．Whether it is moral．  B．Who it is best for．
C．When it is effective． D．How it should be used．

15．MAY 14marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel．Many Israelis，however，are not in the mood to celebrate．
Looking at the damage to her neighbor's home from a Palestinian rocket，Batia Katar，a 17-year-old Israeli girl，was in tears．"We can't celebrate （Israel's） independence when things like this are happening，"she said．
What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country．The country has a dramatic （戏剧性） history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60years．Within hours after it was  established  in 1948，Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land．It won that time，and in 1956，1967and 1973，acquiring the West Bank，the Golan Heights，Gaza and east Jerusalem．For good or ill，Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries．However，it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed，which left local Palestinians homeless．
Different from all its neighbors in religion，Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors．Though，it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries．The country is now a world leader in many industries，such as IT and modern agriculture．
However，conflict exists，just like 60years ago．And the signal of peace is as weak as ever．Palestinian militants （武装人员） have fired more than 7，000missiles  from Gaza，mainly at Sedro，killing 13people．In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians  in Gaza have died in Israeli military action．
In order to create peace，the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan．Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace．
Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place．

66．Why are many Israelis not in the mood to celebrate the both anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel？BecauseD．
A．the government didn't organize it
B．they are too busy to attend it
C．it is dangerous to celebrate it
D．conflicts and fights still exist
67．The underlined word established in the fourth paragraph meansB．
A．defeated         B．founded
C．attacked         D．accepted
68．Israel is not a normal country becauseD．
A．the country has a dramatic history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60years
B．within hours after its establishment，Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land
C．it occupied much more land than the UN agreed，which left local Palestinians homeless
D．all of the above
69．Which statement about Israel is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．It became a country in 1948．
B．It is different from all its neighbors in religion．
C．It is now a world leader in many industries，such as IT and modern agriculture．
D．No country has supported it since it was founded．
70．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．it is still a question mark whether Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace
B．Israel was created as a homeland for homeless Jews
C．for good or ill，Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries
D．Israel is far more successful economically that it neighbors．
2．Bottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty．Bottled water is all over the world．But some say the planet's health，and people's health may be suffering from it．
The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true．The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said，"There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle，it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap．"Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is"really just tap water in a bottle-sometimes more clean，sometimes not．"

It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water．Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said，"The high mineral content （含量） of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children．"Also，most bottled water doesn't have fluoride （氟化物），which can make teeth stronger．Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water，and some say that's behind the recent rise in bad teeth．
Storing is another problem．Placed near heat，the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals （化学物质） into the water．
According to the Environmental Protection Agency，some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year．The plastic can take between 400 and 1，000 years to break down．
In terms of energy use，plastic bottles are also not cheap．One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles，they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas．
So，if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth，you can take the following steps．
●Drink from your tap．Unless your government warns against this，it should be fine．
●Get a container （容器）．Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container，and clean it between uses．
●Keep it cool．Don't drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun，don't store it near chemicals，and don't reuse plastic bottles．
●Choose glass containers over plastic if possible．When finished，recycle!
48．What is the main idea of the article？D
A．Drinking tap water is the only choice for people．
B．Glass containers are better than plastic bottles．
C．Plastic bottles are harmful to the environment．
D．Bottled water may not be as good as we think．
49．What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article？C
A．They break down in less than 300 years．
B．They can be used for many other things．
C．They are a risk to the environment．
D．They are cheap to make．
50．According to the article，we can know that bottled water isB
A．no problem for the environment       
B．more expensive than tap water
C．always safer than tap water           
D．better for babies
51．Which of the following about tap water is NOT mentioned in the article？A
A．There are a lot of problems storing tap water．
B．Bottled water can be just tap water in a bottle．
C．It may be better for your teeth．
D．It may contain fluoride．
