18.(71)C This recreation promotes physical,mental and community health,and also wins points for what it doesn't offer.Here's everything you need to know before hitting the trail or sidewalk.
Bring water,a snack,and good comfortable shoes.A lot of pepole have unrealistic understanding of what comfortable shoes mean; actually hiking boots are very necessary.(72)D Experienced hikers recommend tailoring your route to fit an interest,like architecture,food or a view.
(73)F In modern urban city,you've kept away from trees and maybe birds most of the time.Although cool buildings,coffee shops and paths leading into handsome parks are your daily choices for trips,digging into a park can let your ears and eyes escape the urban environment.
Consider inviting company on your urban hike,starting with family. (74)AIt's so important that people understand this is not a foreign activity.
Organized hikes and walking clubs provide motivation and an opportunity to learn new routes and meet people.To help people find fellow walkers and nearby routes,the Website of the American Hiking Society offers searchable databases of clubs and trails.(75)BJust explore.That's what I've always done.

A.Children who walk outdoors are more likely to perform well at school.
B.But keep in mind that an urban hike is about the journey,not the planning
C.Urban hikes provide unexpected excitements
D.Once equipped,figure out where to go
E.Listen to music,watch TV or meet your friend at the cinema
F.Choose nature for the destination
G.Guides keep you informed of evens and activities.

分析 本文属于说明文.介绍了走近大自然,去体验和感悟自然的美,徒步旅行需要注意的问题以及对我们的好处,并强调一定要付诸行动,而不仅仅是畅想.

解答 71--75 CDFAB
71.C.考查上下文的理解能力.根据后面的This recreation promotes physical,mental and community health,and also wins points for what it doesn't offer可知,城区徒步旅行能带来意想不到的兴奋和刺激;故选C.
72.D.考查上下文的理解能力.划线前面讲解的是徒步旅行之前的装备准备,后面的内容为旅行地点的选择;所以D项Once equipped,figure out where to go能够起到承上启下的作用;故选D.
73.F.考查上下文的理解能力.根据最后的描述digging into a park can let your ears and eyes escape the urban environment.可知,与城市的喧嚣和拥挤相对比的是大自然的宁静和舒适,所以选F以自然风景作为旅行的终点.
74.A.考查上下文的理解能力.此处强调的是与家人一起去旅行,那么对于走近大自然的孩子的好处就是眼界开阔,思维敏捷,在校的表现有可能会更好,所以选A.
75.B.考查上下文的理解能力.根据后面的建议Just explore.可知,光有计划还是不够的,关键是走出去,所以徒步旅行是一种旅行,而不仅仅是计划;故选B.

点评 对于选句填空这种题型要搞明白上下文之间的逻辑关系,要根据对话者所说的语气及语义关系来做出判断;只要符合文章的结构、通顺合理即可.

8.You probably hear it all the time-people telling you to"learn English".But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don't need to bother learning a new language?Not at all.In fact,an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages,thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism.
Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delays-a late or absent development of talking.But US magazine Scientific American has revealed that this is not true,and reported that children who speak more than one language"show greater mental flexibility,a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory."As the New York Times put it,"being bilingual,it turns out,makes you smarter."
In Europe,learning foreign languages is increasingly popular.A European report shows that from 2005-2010,the percentage of European students learning a foreign language rose from 67.5percent to 79.2percent.Most European kids start learning another language at age 6.In Belgium,it starts at 3.New reforms being introduced in the UK will mean all children could be taught a foreign language,such as Mandarin or Greek,from the age of 7.The most popular foreign language for European kids was English,followed by German and French.
In comparison,Americans don't  give a fig for learning foreign languages.Compared to 50percent of European adults who are bilingual,only 9percent of adults in the US are fluent in more than one language,according to a 2011report.American students are often not exposed to a second language until high school.
However,recent statistics show demand is growing in the US for people to become more bilingual.According to a USA Today chart released in July,21percent of US children speak another language at home.A number of institutions in the country are also pushing foreign languages in schools.Three school districts in Delaware will launch Chinese and Spanish programs next year.More people are learning Chinese,French and Spanish.

9.Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home?To make the experience truly worthwhile,there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad.This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment,or a clever move in your career development.You must also consider the costs,not just of living and studying abroad,but of applying.Most universities now charge application fees for international students.
If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad,your next step is to choose the right programme of studies.Research your choices and select carefully.You must do your homework well.Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details.You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites.But read carefully.Different universities emphasize different strengths.Don't just think about the university's reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals.
Next,you must deal with a large pile of paperwork.This involves filling in application form,preparing your school records,and getting reference letters.Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance.Sadly,many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round,simply because they don't follow the application procedure properly.
Money is another important consideration.Some scholarships are provided by governments,others by schools and colleges.This information,again,can be found on the Internet.If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you,follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply,the better your chance of getting it.

6.A major new development in system of work in Britain is taking place.Flexible working hours,or"Flextime",are catching on fast,and trend is continuing.In 1973,over 500 organizations had adopted the idea,and by 1974,this number had risen to over 200,000.
   Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960's,but reached Britain only in 1972.The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want,with only two requirements.These are,firstly,that all workers must present for certain"key"times in the day,and secondly,that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.
   The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried.A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages:a better balance between working and private life,avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving.
   From the employer's point of view,the system tends to increase productivity,reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater sense of duty.At first,"Flexible"was mainly confined to white-collar workers,but it is now being applied to manual workers too.
65.According to"Flextime"system,workers need notA.
A.work at the same time               
B.work all the weekdays

D.ask for leave when being absent
66."Key"time is a period whenB.
A.visitors come to the plants
B.all workers must be at work
C.employers go round in the workshop
D.rush hours are over

A.entirely effective                    
B.totally correct
C.a complete failure                   
D.quite difficult
68.One of the great advantages of"Flextime"for workers is that theyB.
A.have a great sense of duty           
B.can avoid busy traffic
C.can get higher pay                 
D.can avoid working hard.
13.The iPhone,the iPad:each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚).Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"---and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer---which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet---used the title in 2008.A lovely bear---popular in the US and UK---that plays music and video is called"iTeddy".A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London's Independent newspaper was started last week under the name"i".
In general,single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s,when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.
Most"i"products are targeted at (针对)young people and considering the major readers of Independent's"i",it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i".Why not use"a","b",or"c"instead?According to Tony Thorne,head of the Language Center at King's College,London,"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses"i",no one knows whether it means Internet,information,individual or interactive,Thorne told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPod,it seems it didn't have one clear definition(定义),"he says.
"However,thanks to Apple,the term is now connected with portability (轻便)."adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs,and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with"Google"and"blog",readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).
But as history shows,people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s,products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern.However,as we entered the new century,the fashion disappeared.
 
71.People use iPlayer toC.
A.listen to music                        B.make a call
C.watch TV programs online               D.read newspapers
72.We can infer that the Independent's"i"is designed forA.
A.young readers                          
B.old readers     
C.fashionable women                 
D.engineers
73.The underlined word"ambiguous"means"B".
A.popular            B.uncertain            C.clear            D.unique
74.Nowadays,the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA.
A.portable    B.environmentally friendly    C.advanced    D.recyclable
75.The writer suggests thatD.
A."i"products are often of high quality      
B.iTeddy is alive bear
C.the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products
D.the popularity of"i"products may not last long.
3.If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome's dental surgery(手术) in Glasgow,you'll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth.Jerome says,‘That's because they're frightened.'
(71)B‘That's why I don't wear a white coat.I find that's one of the things that people associate with pain.In fact,my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation,interest and,above all,enjoyment.'
     Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain,or at the very least,formal,chinical visits.He says,‘If people are relaxed,entertained and correctly treated,they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.'
       Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques,‘(72)DThe headsets are used for the first check-up,where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth."Then the headset switches to a special camera,to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.'
       Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist's.Today there is the smell of orange."When people walk in,I want them to realize with all their senses that it's not like going to dentist's.Smell is very important(73)F.
       Known as Clasgow's most fashionable dentist,Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously‘(74)C'.For example,Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them,rather than scraping them.‘It feels a bit strange,but as long as people are relaxed,it's not painful.'(75)A‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient,you make it easier for yourself'He sees his patient-centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession.
      At that moment,a patient arrives.Jerome rushes over,offers him a cup of tea,askes him what video he'd like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.
        
A.Five years ago,Jerome went to the United States to do research.
B.He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid.
C.The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing.
D.We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them.
E.Now they look forward to their visits here.
F.That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists.
G.Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they're in pain.
