解答 56.答案A.细节理解题.根据文章第一句"situated in the heart of Melbourne's CBD"可知墨尔本海洋水族馆位于市CBD的中心.根据"Having 12amazing zones of discovery"可知是discovery而不是places,故选项B错误;根据"Last admission is at 5:00pm",可知允许进入的最后时间为5:00,而不是6:00,故选项C错误.根据"opposite Crown Entertainment Complex."可知是opposite对面,而不是beside旁边,故D项错误.所以答案为A.
57.答案D.细节理解题.根据"Getting to Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium"部分的内容而知,选项A的"Southern Cross train station"文中没有出现;根据"in and around the city"可知B项错误;C项文中没有涉及.根据"and also routes 70and 75"可知D项正确.所以答案为D.
58.答案B.细节理解题.根据"no public car parking"可知A项错误;根据"in wheelchairs with full access",可知为游客提供轮椅通道,所以B项正确;文中没有提互联网的事,也没有提到水族馆提供任何交通服务,故C、D两项错误.所以答案为B.
59.答案C.细节理解题.根据"Please print out all tickets purchased and present at the front entrance of Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium.No ticket,no entry!可知,在水族馆入口处要提交门票,否则不得入内.所以答案为C.

16.In the United States,30percent of the grown-up population has a"weight"problem.To many people,the cause is clear:they eat too much.But scientific experiments do little to support this idea.Going back to the American of 1910,we find that people were thinner than today,yet they are more food.In those days people worked harder physically,walked more,used machines much less,and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies,besides,have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people.In fact,some research work,such as 1970study of 3,545London office workers,reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average.
Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people.A study by the research group of School of Medicine at Stanford University found the following interesting facts.The more a man ran,the greater body fat he lost.The more he ran,the greater he needed for food.Thus,those who ran the most ate the most,yet lost the greater amount of body fat.

61.What kind of physical problem do many grown-up American have?C
A.They are too thin.                B.They work too hard.
C.They are too fat                   D.They lose too much body fat.
62.What has modern medical and scientific research reported to us?A
A.Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B.Fat people eat more food and are more active.
C.Fat people eat more food but lose greater amount of body fat.
D.Thin people run less,but eat more food.
63.Based on the number given in the article,if there are 500adult Americans,how many of them will have weight problem?D
A.30                B.50               C.100                D.150.

L'Air duTemps
Francis Farbon created Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps in 1948.The fragrance is known for its spicy,carnation and gardenia scents as well as its beautiful crystal bottle (designed by Lalique).
Eternity
Calvin Klein's second perfume was created by Sophia Grojsman in 1988.Known for its light,flowery scent,the perfume was listed in the Fragrance Hall of Fame in 2003.It is recommended for daytime wear.

13.Hands down,Chinese company Lao Gan Ma makes the most delicious hot sauce we've ever tasted.Seriously,don't be fooled by the grumpy-looking lady on the jar!The deeply caramelized chilies,garlic,onions,soybeans and peanuts give this chili paste unbelievable flavor,while Sichuan peppercorns add a mouth-tingling zip…
BEWARE!!This hot sauce has peanuts in it.Watch out for that if you have or you know people with allergies.
Below are comments from netizens.
1.I have at least 20 different hot sauces; this is by far the best one.There chili oil,bean and chili flakes and peanuts,which work together perfectly.The spice level is also great-not the lasting habanero style burn,but more of a warm smooth heat.
2.I'm an international student from China studying in New York right now.Well more precisely I'm from Sichuan,where people are known for liking eating spicy food.There's a popular saying among Chinese students studying abroad that"Lao Gan Ma (Old Auntie or something similar) is the goddess of Chinese students overseas".Funny but true!When we are not used to other non-Chinese food yet,we totally miss the taste!With this chili sauce,it's like being at home again.But the price of this on Amazon is incredibly expensive,back in China; it costs less than ONE US DOLLAR!Oh…I miss China and Chinese food!
3.This stuff is dangerously addictive.I wanted something similar to what I got at the Szechuan restaurant.Well I then came across this and was pleased with the reviews then purchased two jars.SO GLAD I DID.It does have some tiny peanut pieces that are crispy toasty,yum.The heat is very notable and smooth.
4.This product is more of a dipping sauce for eating with plain rice.But it took about a fifth of the bottle to fully season 2+cups of brown rice.At 8.59/bottlethisistooexpensive.IfounditinmylocalAsianmarketfor2.79.Turns out there are about numerous versions produced by this company,some of which may be worth exploring.
55.Why does the author mention the lady on the jar?A
A.To show us who made the sauce.
B.To prove she is really too grumpy to fool you.
C.To tell us the sauce is really inviting.
D.To explain the sauce is as old as the lady.
56.What do the second and the fourth netizen have in common?D
A.Both of them come from China.
B.Both of them think the sauce sold abroad expensive.
C.Both of them are international students.
D.Both of them bought Lao Gan Ma on the internet.

A.S/he was addicted to it because it is very addictive.
B.S/he regretted having bought it because it is too expensive.
C.S/he was very excited that she bought it.

17.Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older,but men's minds decline(衰退) more than women's,according to the results of a worldwide survey.
    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains:men are better at dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial (三维空间) skills),while women tend to be better at recalling information from their memories (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age,but the results have been mixed.
    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women,while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people,and women live longer than men.The men tested are the survivors,"so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive (认知的) decline,"said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills:matching an object to its rotated (旋转的) form,matching lines shown from the same angle,typing as many words in a particular collection as possible in the given time,e.g."objects usually colored gray",and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.The first two were tasks which men are usually good at; the latter are almost controlled by women.
    Within each age group studied,men and women performed better in their separate task on average.Generally speaking,women showed obviously less decline than men though performance declined with age for both sexes.
71.The underlined word"inherent"in the second paragraph meansC.
A.difficult            B.native               C.natural          D.absolute
72.Which of the following tasks are men better at?A
A.Matching lines shown from the same angle.
B.Typing as many words in a particular category as possible•
C.Recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.
D.Recalling information from their brain's files.
73.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Men are good at typing words in a particular category in the given time.
B.Women are good at dealing with mathematic problems.
C.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
D.Women stand out at remembering people's names.
74.What important factor affects the correctness of the research results?C
A.People tested come from all over the world.B.Men live longer than women.
C.the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive (认知的) decline.
D.The researchers got their results mixed.
75.The author aims to tell us thatB.
A.the survey on human's mind decline was done recently   
B.men's minds decline more with age
C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D.women's minds perform better than men's.
18.More and more parents are worrying about their daughters who have become overweight.Girls who think they aren't popular at school are at higher risk for weight gain,according to a new study.It's long been known that being overweight can lead to social exclusion (排斥) for teens,but researchers at Harvard University discovered:whether a student's opinions of her social position played a role in her weight.
To find out,the researchers measured the body weight of nearly 4,500 girls aged 12 to 18.
Two years later,the researchers found,all of the girls had gained weight-no surprise,since they were all growing.But girls who thought they were less popular at school were at a 70 percent higher risk of gaining extra weight.
The researchers considered something else besides the collected information,including whether a child was overweight at the start of the study,family income,a mother's weight,diet,television viewing habits and some other things that can affect childhood weight gain.But the opinions of girl's popularity are more likely to affect he girls'weight.
Experts suggested that parents concerned about a girl's weight should look not only at eating habits but also at their child's social network,encouraging relationships with friends and joining in group activities.Meanwhile schools should also organize more programs to help girls build social skills,they added.
64.Which kind of girls is less likely to gain extra weight?B
A.Those who like watching TV for a long time per day.
B.Those whose parents show no sign of being overweight.
C.Those who are self-centered and not optimistic.
D.Those who enjoy meals rich in high oil and fat.
65.What can parents do in controlling their teenage girls'weight?D
A.They encourage their kids to study hard.
B.They ask their daughters eat as they please
C.They record the body weight measurements of their own kids.
D.They make their kids communicate more with others.
66.It can be concluded from this passage thatA.
A.A rising number of teenager girls are becoming overweight
B.Some schools have already organized various activities for teenager girls.
C.Girls aged 17 are certainly heavier than those aged 14.
D.The researchers reached the final discovery only by studying the collected information.
67.How is the text organized?B
A.topic-argument-description-conclusion
B.opinion-supporting examples-conclusion-advice
C.opinion-supporting examples-solution-advice
D.topic-argument-conclusion-solution.
