7．Aviaphobia or fear of flying is believed to rank as the second most common fear，next to the fear of speaking in public．According to a recent statistical study in the United States，44% of the Americans interviewed admitted some fear of flying．What is ironic is that this kind of uncontrolled fear is not only limited to those who have not yet had the experience of flying，but also known to bother people working in airlines，including stewards and stewardesses，and even business people for whom frequent air travel is a necessity．
What causes aviaphobia has caused brilliant minds in the medical and psychological fields．Psychologists explain that fear of flying envelops other fears----fear of heights，fear of closed-in places，and most importantly，the fear of dying．On top of that，there is the"vicarious factor"，which means one may have had a painful experience associated with flying that has caused the overpowering fear of air travel．What happened to John Smith，an executive with a computer company，is a case in point．In 1979，while he was on the runway at a Chicago airport，another plane blew up，killing 275people．He witnessed the disaster with his own eyes，and since then，he has occasional nightmares about the tragedy despite more than three decades．That experience has badly influenced him so that even up to now，whenever he boards a plane，he is caught in an uncontrolled feeling of pain．
Actually，about a third of aviaphobes are less afraid of dying in a crash than of losing control of themselves．They are afraid that it may be seen as a sign of weakness，and therefore may threaten their jobs and inter-personal relationships，or even cause their loss of respectability．This explains why overachievers and perfectionist feel it a need to be in control always．Once they are on board，such kind of people will be too much alert．They sometimes spend their entire trip observing the flight attendants or the details of the small world surrounding them．Thus，they become sleepless and tense during their long flights，sometimes lasting for 10hours or even longer．Consequently，they become physically exhausted and mentally drained before their flight is over．

69．What can be inferred from the first paragraph？C
A.44% of Americans are afraid of flying．
B．fear of flying happens only among people without flying experience．
C．some of the people who need to fly often in their jobs are afraid of flying．
D．stewards and stewardesses don't fear as soon as they board the plane．
70．Which of the following is true according to the passage？B
A．The fear of speaking in public is the second most common fear next to aviaphobia．
B．Over 30% of people afraid of flying are more concerned about losing control of themselves．
C．The example of John Smith shows that the painful experience related to flying will recover soon．
D．Aviaphobes easily become physically and mentally drained because the flight is long and exhausting．
71．The reason why aviaphobes feel it a need to conceal their fear of flying is thatD．
A．they can't afford to lose their jobs．
B．they are afraid that it will affect their relationship with friends．
C．it is a big and dark secret．
D．it may be viewed as a sign of timidity that may put their social position at risk．
72．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？C
A．The causes of aviaphobia
B．Psychologists'attitudes toward aviaphobia
C．Some facts about aviaphobia
D．The definition of aviaphobia．
8．As we know，employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day．However，many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing（61）to accept  （accept） less pay in order to do so．Now employees have the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths of（62）their （they） normal pay．This would benefit both the individual companies and the employees（63）who/that decided to take the option．In this way，employees would feel more rested and watchful （留心的）．As（64）aresult，they would make fewer costly errors in their work．Thus，the（65）shortened（short） workweek would increase company profit．Companies can hire more staff to ensure that the same amount of work would be done without more pay．For the country as a whole，one of the primary（66）benefits（benefit） is that it would reduce unemployment rates．If a lot of full-time employees started working fewer hours，some of their workload would have to（67）be given（give） to others．（68）Finally（final），the option of a four-day workweek would be better for individual employees．As long as the employees could accept a lower salary，they could improve the quality of their lives by spending the extra time（69）with their families，following private interests，or enjoying（70）various（vary）forms of relaxation．

12．Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film．It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life．But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn，I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still，talking to someone．
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger，that the company had to withdraw the idea．People said it was'the worst idea ever'!Surely，going to watch the latest film is just that-watching not multi-screening．And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude．I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why aren't they concentrating on the big screen？!
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs，cinemas are struggling to keep their customers．Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward？A survey in 2012found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience．
However，not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies．Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it．Of course，we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron，head of AMC Entertainment，said in Variety magazine，6/when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone，don't ruin the movie，they hear'please cut off your left arm above the elbow'．"Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at，please don't sit next to me!What do you think is the right thing to do？

28．The underline word"irritated"in Paragraph 1meansC．
A．terrified        
B．depressed          
C．annoyed         
D．embarrassed
29．Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain's original advice？B
A．The advice was carried out smoothly．
B．They permitted people to use the phone．
C．The advice was very popular with people．
D．They prohibited people to use the phone．
30．What can we infer from Paragraph 3？A
A．Young people use their social media frequently．
B．The cinema needn't worry about their customers．
C．People prefer to watch films and DVD at home．
D．Sending messages is the best experience for young people．
31．What is the author's attitude towards multi-task at the movies？D
A．Sympathy．B．Encouragement．C．Enthusiasm．D．Disapproval．
2．Mark Twain said，"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see．"To me，kindness is important because when I am kind，I feel good and my life has meaning．
Kindness is the ability to enrich the lives of others．It can be expressed through a smile，a kind word or a helping hand．Sometimes，the kindest thing we can do is just to walk away from a tense situation and not react with anger or retribution．One thing is certain，each of us benefits personally，and our world is a better place when we treat each other with kindness，regardless of the circumstances．
Sometimes we search for"the right"opportunity to be kind，or we look for someone who is"deserving"of our kindness．Everyone needs kindness．Regardless of our social status，education level or any other factor that might separate us，an act of kindness always brings us together．
Two years ago，I was looking for a way to celebrate World Kindness Day．I called a friend，Kevin，and we decided to pay for someone's groceries．We did，and we had so much fun that we decided to invite a few friends and do something similar again a few weeks later．We invited about 20friends online to join us．By the time the day came，the invitation had been forwarded over 5，000times!We had a group of over 550people with Random Acts of Kindness．In addition，we now speak everywhere，talking about the powerful positive impact kindness can have on our lives．Our goal is simple-to make the world a kinder place by one smile at a time．
Imagine what the world could be like if we would ask ourselves one simple question before we react-what is the kind thing to do in this situation？Could we avoid war，hatred，poverty，starvation and human suffering？I don't know but we should try-for ourselves，for our children and for the world．

32．What does the author say about kindness？C

33．What is the meaning of the underlines word"retribution"in Paragraph 2？C

C．Punishment．
D．Disappointment．
34．What does the author advise us to do kindness？D

B．Find the right opportunity to be kind．
C．Limit doing kindness by social status．
D．Doing kindness to anyone in need．
35．What may be the best title for the text？C
A．Kindness to Americans
B．Imagination of the Future
C．What It Means to Be Kind
D．How to Avoid Human Sufferings．
9．Imagine there is a glass of water on a table in front of you．It has water in it but it is not full．How do you describe the glass？Do you say it is half full or half empty？
If you say half full，you might be an optimist．If you say half empty，you might be the opposite-a pessimist．
Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or life in general．And your attitude toward life may be more important than you think．
A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect your health．People who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic．
Researchers at Harvard University's School of Public Health in Boston did the study．They compared women with"a general expectation that good things will happen"to women who were less optimistic．They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases，including cancer，heart disease，stroke，respiratory disease and certain types of infection．
The researchers published their findings in the American Journal of Epidemiology．Epidemiology is the study of how diseases spread and how they can be controlled．
Eric Kim is one of the study leaders．He says there is increasing evidence that strengthening psychological resilience may help prevent disease．With it，it's easier to recover from difficulty or change．Kim says that these new findings suggest that people should make efforts to increase their resilience and optimism．
He says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty．Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising，eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep．
However，the researchers say that healthy behaviors of optimistic people only partly explain the connection with reduced risk of disease．

29．A person who sees a glass of water half full tends toC．
A．have a risk of getting most deadly diseases             
B．meet more good things that she or he has never imagined
C．take positive attitudes to situations and life             
D．like solving any difficulties by taking enough exercise
30．What does the underlined word"resilience"in Paragraph 7 probably mean？D
A．A state of relaxation．
B．A result of optimistic attitude．
C．A way to deal with people．
D．An ability of adaptation．
31．What can be the best title of this passage？B
A．How to Increase Optimism with Simple Methods
B．Looking on the Bright Side Might Help You Live Longer
C．The Study of How Diseases Spread and How to Be Controlled
D．Different Attitudes，Different Results of an Optimist and a Pessimist．
6．Not everyone's tasteHave you ever imagined that one day everything your body needs will come in powder form and all you have to do is add water？
Soylent，a drink developed by a group of us engineers，claims it can do just that．It can provide your body with all the nutrients it needs and for as long as you want．You don't have to eat any other food．This April，Soylent shipped its first products to consumers in the US．
Robert Rhinehart is the 25-year-old co-founder and chief executive of the firm selling the drink．He found himself spending too much time and money searching for nutritious meals while he was working in San Francisco．
An electrical engineering graduate，Rhinehart began to consider food as an engineering problem．"You need amino acids and lipids．not milk itself，"he was quoted as saying by The New Yorker："You need carbohydrates，not bread．"He began to think that food was an inefficient way of getting what he needed to survive．
Rhinehart hopes his product can be a game changer in the food business．But Soylent may potentially be good for the environment，too．According to a Guardian article，food production is responsible for 30percent of greenhouse gas emissions．But to completely replace our daily meal with a bland-tasting drink？Not many people are enthusiastic about the idea．
After all，most of us see food as not merely fuel，but also a pleasure．New York Times writer Farhad Manjoo lived largely on Soylent for a week and a half．He declares that"everything about Soylent screams function，not fun，"thinking it"the most joyless new technology to hit the world since we first laid eyes on．MS．DOS．"
Lizzie Widdicombe，who wrote The New Yorker's article on Rhinehart，also tried out Soylent．With Soylent，you"cruise"through the day．If you are working at your computer and feel hungry，you don't have to stop for lunch．You can always be productive．
And here lies Soylent's downside，Widdicombe says："Meals provide punctuation to our lives：we're constantly recovering from them，expecting them，riding the emotional ups and downs of a good or a bad sandwich．With a bottle of Soylent on your desk，time stretches before you，featureless and a little sad．"

32．What's the purpose of the first paragraph？A
A．To introduce the topic．   
 B．To advertise for a new drink．
C．To test the readers'imagination．
D．To attract readers'participation．
33．What do Rhinehart's words in Paragraph 4imply？C
A．Food is not enough to feed us．
B．Milk and bread are beneficial to us．
C．It is what contains in the food that matters．
D．Milk and milk are different sources of food．
34．What is Farhad Manjoo's attitude to Soylent？C
A．Positive    
B．Doubtful    
C．Negative 
D．Neutral
35．What's the disadvantage of Soylent according to Widdicombe？B
A．It makes people go hungry easily．
B．It removes some functions of meals．
C．It isn't environmentally friendly，
D．It causes emotional ups and downs．
1．Everyone seems （61）to have（have） his or her own holiday．Dad has Father's Day．Children have Children's Day．Lovers have Valentine's Day．（62）But is there a special day for older people？
Of course．The Chongyang Festival is the holiday（63）when Chinese people show love for their elders．（64）Celebrated（celebrate） on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month，the festival is also known as the Double Ninth Festival．Nine is the（65）highest（high） digit（数字），so it（66）is regarded（regard） that the two together mean a long life．
The festival comes during  （67）the golden time of autumn．The clear weather and the joy of harvest make for a happy atmosphere．On the day，people  （68）traditionally（tradition） climb a mountain and carry dogwood（茱萸）． People in ancient times  （69）believed（believe） that the plant could drive away evil spirits and prevent people  （70）against cold in winter．
