8.Faraway,huge and shaped over thousands of years by the seas and glaciers,Norway's breathtaking natural scenery leaves many visitors in awe (惊叹).
Adding to its appeal is the fact that the country has once again been selected as the best place in the world to live for health and social prosperity (繁荣).This has been true for 12years in a row,according to the United Nations'2015Human Development Index (指数),released on Dec 14.
"Its outdoor lifestyle,which makes the most of the mountains and fjords (峡湾),undoubtedly plays a key role in the country's health,"said The Independent newspaper.
In the summer,Norwegians go hiking,camping,picnicking and fishing.In the winter,it's time to play in the snow.As The Telegraph newspaper noted,"Many Norwegians grow up on the slopes and can ski like professional athletes."
The Norwegian diet is another factor in Norwegians'good health.A typical homemade meal is low in sugar,fat and salt,and is usually made up of fish,meat,potatoes,berries,whole-grain bread and vegetables."Dining out is relatively uncommon,"Women's Health magazine noted."There is not a big fast-food culture and there are no ready meals."
Even though fast food restaurants have been set up in the country,to discourage unhealthy eating,the government has put higher duties on fast food and soft drinks since 1981.
The mentality (心理) of the Norwegian people has also played an essential role in the country's health and social success.The Danish-Norwegian novelist Aksel Sandemose once wrote down the Law of Jante,which shows important ideas in Norwegian culture:modesty (谦虚),collectivity and social equality.Overall,the law suggests that no one is better than another person,and that people should not brag about  their achievements.

4.What is the article mainly about?C
A.Norwegian people's outdoor lifestyle.
B.The breathtaking natural scenery in Norway.
C.Factors that play a part in Norwegians'health.
D.Factors that influence the food culture in Norway.
5.It can be concluded from the article thatB.
A.Skiing and going hiking are very popular activities in Norway in the winter
B.Norwegians attach a lot of importance to the ideas of modesty and social equality
C.Due to the country's fast food culture,Norwegians prefer eating out to cooking at home
D.To promote healthy eating,the Norwegian government shut down a lot of fast food restaurants
6.The underlined phrase"brag about"in Paragraph 8probably meansB.
A.care little about
B.speak too proudly about
C.devote oneself to
D.become accustomed to
7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A
A.Norwegians'health secrets
B.Norwegians'lifestyle
C.Norwegians'diet
D.Norway's breathtaking natural scenery.

19.What did you dream about last night?Did your teeth fall out or did you fly?Maybe you died or someone you know did.Or maybe you were back in high school.These are among the most common dreams people have and they all mean something.Here are some of the most common dreams and their interpretations or symbolism.
         Dreams of flying.Dreams of flying represent feelings of freedom that may result from an instance when you overcome a limitation or obstacle.Usually,children have more flying dreams than adults,because children are more open to their possibilities,and adults have often accepted limitations imposed by society.
         Teeth falling out.Food in a dream is symbolic of knowledge because food nourishes the physical body and knowledge nourishes the soul.Teeth are a means to break down food or knowledge.When your teeth fall out in a dream,it could signify that you feel ill-equipped to break down the knowledge that you have available,that the way you break things down has changed.That change can be either positive or negative.
         High school dreams.High school is a place of learning from the past,and dreaming of being unprepared for a high school test can indicate a struggle to access information you need to handle in your life.
         Recurring dreams and nightmares.Recurring dreams are your subconscious (潜意识)mind's way of trying to get your attention.A recurring dream is a step down from a nightmare that is a louder,more insistent way your subconscious mind communicates.If you have a recurring dream,try to stop in the dream and identify what the dream is trying to tell you.That could mean asking someone who is chasing you what he or she wants.A woman dreamed for years that an old,haggard woman was chasing her around her home.When she finally stopped in the dream and asked the old woman what she represented,the old,woman suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman and replied,"I represent your question of'what if?'"

Psychology is both an applied and academic field that studies the human mind and behavior.Research in psychology seeks to understand and explain how we think,act and feel.As most people already realize,a large part of psychology is devoted to the (41)E and treatment of mental health issues,but that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to applications for psychology.In addition to mental health,psychology can be applied to a variety of issues that  (42)J health and daily life including performance enhancement,self-help,motivation,productivity,and much more.

20.Chinese students have tended to come to the UK at a younger age in recent years,which means they come to Britain not only for higher education,but also for high school or even primary school.Asian investors(投资者)have followed this trend,and started to buy independent school s to serve this demand.
An article carried by the Times of London on October 17 reported that last year Chinese-owned company Achieve Education bought Chase Grammar,a boarding and day school in Cannock,Staffordshire.Chase Grammar includes a program that offers extra support for pupils from China."This trend is very good and I am not at all surprised,"Barnaby Lenon,chairman of the Independent Schools Council,told the Global Times,adding that Chinese people like the English education system."We welcome Chinese investors in British private education.""Chase Grammar School is small,and the classes are small.It gives the school a family atmosphere,"Jackie Medhurst,principal of Chase Grammar School,said in a welcome note on the school's website.
Small class sizes,personal care,good exam result,and entry to world famous universities are features that are most attractive to Chinese students.But many parents are also worried that foreign investors might expand the proportion of international students,and that might undermine the British tradition.
   It seems that Chase Grammar does not intend to hide their attempts to attract Chinese families.It has set up a China office in Shanghai to facilitate Chinese parents'communication with the school.Tong Zhou,a director of Chase Grammar,told the media that the school does not intent to change the ratio of local students and international students.
  Some international branches of British boarding schools are very popular in Asia.In recent years,the Chinese passion for the British boarding school system has led some of the best-known schools such as Harrow and Wellington to set up satellite schools in Beijing,Shanghai and Hong Kong.And the trend continues.
  It seems that the rising wealthy class in Asia is not satisfied with international branches in their own countries.They want to send their kids to the original British boarding schools to be surrounded by English people and immersed in the British culture.To support their children studying in the UK,Chinese parents are buying houses in Britain.According to a survey by UK Property Weekly,houses near universities and outstanding primary and secondary schools are the most preferable location for Chinese buyers.
Compared to the independent school system,universities are more open.It is reported that China remains the leading source of international students for London.
61.Which of the following can we know from Barnaby Lenon's words?C
A.He was surprised at the present current trend.
B.English universities are better than those in China.
C.The English education system is welcomed by the Chinese.
D.There will be fewer investors in private education.
62.Which of the following is NOT among the attractions of the British schools?D

D.Good living conditions.
63.The underlined word"undermine"in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to"A".

17."I can't live without my mobile phone!"is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives.
The all so common sight of heads bent,eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world.Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train,taxi or waiting in a queue,people busy themselves with their mobile phones.
Some people believe our unhealthy obsession(着迷) with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter.The truth is that  technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives.
Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives,but I truly believe it is for the better.
It's changed the way we communicate,whether for work or play.We are now less constrained(限制)by time and geographical location.With my mobile phone,I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam,or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go.I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren't living in the same country.My phone calendar keeps my life organized,and even Facebook,Twitter,and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!
The mobile revolution isn't just changing the lives of urbanities (都市人) like myself.I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design.She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that,opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations.Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa---purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies.Shompa also found it tough publicizing her business to potential customers outside her town.But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone,she was addicted.The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers.Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life.
Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change?It shouldn't really be a surprise though.
28.In the first two paragraphs,the author wants to showD.
A.mobile phones make people communicate less
B.mobile phones make people's life more enjoyable
C.people's health is greatly affected by mobile phones
D.people become addicted to mobile phones in daily life
29.What's the author's attitude towards mobile phones?B.
A.Doubtful       
B.Supportive      
C.Critical       
D.Uninterested
30.Paragraph 5is mainly aboutC.
A.New functions of mobile phones
B.New changes in Information Age
C.The advantages of mobile phones
D.The author's personal experiences
31.How is the text mainly developed?D
A.By inferring(推断).
B.By analysing causes.
C.By giving examples.
D.By comparing different ideas.
