8.Unemployment will certainly be in double-digits next year--and may remain there for some time.And for every person who (50)C  as unemployed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics'household survey,you can bet there's another either too  (51)A to look for work or working part time who'd rather have a full-time job or else taking home less pay than before.And there's yet another person who's more fearful that he or she will be the  (52)Bto lose a job.
(53)D,10percent unemployment really means 20percent underemployment or anxious employment,all of which translates  (54)Dinto late payments on mortgages,credit cards,auto and student loans,and loss of health insurance.It also means sleeplessness for tens of millions of Americans,and,of course,(55)Apurchases.
Unemployment of this magnitude and duration also translates into ugly  (56)C,because fear and anxiety are  (57)Bgrounds for the political resentment against immigrants,blacks,the poor,government leaders,business leaders,Jews and other easy  (58)B.It's already started.Next year is a mid-term election.Be prepared for worse.
So why is unemployment and underemployment so high?And why is it  (59)Dto remain high for some time?Because,as noted,people who are worried about their jobs or have no jobs,and who are also trying to  (60)A from under a pile of debt,are not going to do a lot of shopping.And businesses that don't have customers aren't going to do a lot of new  (61)C.And foreign nations also suffering high  62)Baren't going to buy a lot of our goods and services.And without customers,companies won't  (63)D.They'll cut payrolls instead.
This brings us to the obvious question:Who's going to buy the stuff we make or the services we provide,and therefore bring jobs back?There's only one  (64)C left:The government.

19.A long time ago,a student was in a physics class.He had achieved an(41)B perfect score,but the marker had (42)Chim poorly on one question.The question had asked him how he would (43)A the height of a building using a barometer(气压计).[
The student had written down."Go to the (44)D of the building.Drop the barometer and (45)Dthe seconds until it drops on the sidewalk below.(46)B use the formula(公式)for acceleration by gravity to (47)C the height of the building."
Of course,with the help of a barometer,the (48)B  expected the student to use air pressure as a tool for measuring height.So he couldn't (49)Dthat part of the test.
When the student brought up that his answer (50)A solve the question being asked,the professor promised he would let the student answer the question again with a different (51)D.And if the student solved the problem (52)C,he would award him the marks for the question.
Immediately the student (53)Bthat he would use the barometer to knock on the  (54)C of the landlord in the building.When the landlord answered the door.he would ask,"How (55)D is this building?"
At once,the professor (56)C what the student was doing.He asked him if he knew of any  (57)C methods to reach the answer.The student answered that he would (58)A a long string to the barometer and measure the length of the string.
The professor decided to (59)D the student the marks.As the story goes,the student was young Niels Bohr,later becoming the famous (60)C and discovering the nature of electrons inside atoms.

F.chemicals       G.concern          H.decline         I.occasionally     J.sensitive
More recent research has shown that many kinds of amphibians(两栖动物) are declining or have become extinct.Amphibians are animals,such as frogs,that live partly in water and partly on land.And they have been around for over 350million years.They have (41)survived three mass extinctions,including the extinction of the dinosaurs.Why are they dying out now?
The most serious aspect of amphibian loss,however,goes beyond the amphibians themselves.Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian (42)decline means for the planet as a whole.If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians,is it also becoming unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well?
Scientists now believe that amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors.One of these factors is the (43)destruction of habitat,the natural area where an animal lives.Amphibians are very (44)sensitive to changes in their habitat.If they cannot find the right conditions,they will not lay their eggs.These days,as wild areas are covered with houses,roads,farms,or factories,many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs.
There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline.Pollution is one of them.In many industrial areas,air pollution has (45)poisoned the rain,which then falls on ponds and kills the frogs that live there.In farming areas,the heavy use of (46)chemicals on crops has also killed off amphibians.Another factor is that air pollution has led to  (47)increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) light.This endangers amphibians,which seem to be (48)especially sensitive to UV light.
All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reasons for more general (49)concern.These factors affect human beings,too.
3.Durban,South Africa (CNN)-Coal is the new gold in South Africa-it's also one of the worst polluters on the planet.
South Africa is the world's fourth largest coal exporter with over 40billion tons of the fossil fuel in storage.But the host of the United Nations Climate Change Conference,currently taking place in Durban,is under increasing pressure to reduce its dependence on coal.
From South Africa to America,Europe to China,coal is the bedrock on which most world economies have been built.Reducing its use,many countries argue,will reduce productivity and growth.Even though the government is talking nicely about climate change we are not seeing the action.
Developed countries have promised to contribute﹩100billion towards a Green Climate Fund to finance developing nations to reduce their carbon release.But many fear these funds may never become reality.
Complicating matters even more is the argument around whether all the world's developing countries should be entitled to the fund.
In the meantime,with more power stations either being built or planned,South Africa's coal mining industry is likely to continue to grow.Europe has been South Africa's main coal export market,but orders from India and China have rapidly grown in recent years.Still,it is domestic demand that drives the industry:Over 90% of South Africa's electricity is generated from coal.
"This country has been mining coal since the 1860,"said Melita Steele of Greenpeace."It has formed the backbone of the economy and it's what Eskom knows.Less than 1% of this country's energy is green which is a sorry tale."
Several targets to create electricity from waste are already underway.Government says it has plans to use more sustainable energy.However,these ambitious promises may go up in smoke if the world fails to reach an agreement in Durban.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

13.[1]A new study by the scientists at Pennsylvania State University,finds that children who take a nap(小睡) when they are 4 and 5 years old,are less likely to be hyperactive (活动过度的) or experience depression (抑郁).
[2]The results of the study showed that kids between the ages of 4 and 5 years,who discontinued to take daytime naps,showed higher levels of hyperactivity,anxiety and depression,compared to their fellow kids who _________ at this point of their lives.In their research,the researchers were happy to show the importance of taking naps for perfect daytime functioning in young kids.
[3]It all depends on every individual case when children are ready not to take naps any more,said an author of die study,Dr.Brian Crosby,doctor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University.Dr.Crosby suggested that parents include a quiet"rest"time in the daily schedule of their children to allow kids to nap if needed.
[4]For the study purposes,the experts gathered data from 62 children between the ages of 4 and 5 years.All the kids were classified as either ones who took naps-7 percent,or the ones who did not take naps-23 percent,based on actigraphy(体动记录仪) data.Actigraphy data for each child who took part in the study,was collected continuously for 7 days to 14 days.Parents and caregivers were asked to provide information on their child's typical weekday and weekend bedtime and rise time,as well as their napping patterns,and also had to complete a behavioral assessment of the child.
[5]Dr.Crosby hopes that the new findings will encourage other researchers to study the ways in which napping influences daytime performances in children.
76.What's the result of the new study?(no more than 20 words)Children taking naps are less likely to be hyperactive or experience depression.
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with words to complete the sentence.(no more than 5 words)take a nap
78.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
To the delight of the researchers,they found in the study napping was important for children's wonderful daytime performances.In their research,the researchers were happy to show the importance of taking naps for perfect daytime functioning in young kids.
79.What suggestion can parents get from Dr.Crosby according to Paragraph 3?(no more than 15 words)schedule of their children to allow kids to nap if needed
80.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.Dr.Crosby 希望这个新的发现将能够鼓励其他研究人员研究午睡是如何影响孩子白天的表现..
20.[1]Whether you're recovering from a foot injury or working hard to prevent one,a proper warm-up before athletic activity is important.You should start with a general warm-up.This  is intended to get your heart rate up and your muscle groups warm.Walking,gentle jogging or basic aerobics (有氧运动) are all good places to start.The general warm-up should increase your heart rate and speed up breath so that your blood becomes oxygen-rich and carries nutrients to the muscle groups you're about to work.
[2]After the general warm up,move on to basic stretching,which doesn't require a lot of movement.Stretch your legs,ankles,feet,arms,chest and back.After completing these basic stretches,you can move on to sport-specific stretching.They should focus on the muscle groups you're about to engage and prepare your body for the types of movements the sport requires.
[3]Failure to warm up properly before athletics can result in injuries.So don't forget to stretch your feet and ankles when warming up!Point and bend your feet.Gently roll your ankle in one direction,and then in the other direction.Rise up on your toes and then gently rock back so that your weight is on your heels.
[4]Cooling down after physical activity is just       warming up.First stretch the muscle groups and parts of the body you just worked the hardest.Then move on to general body stretching.And finally,cool down with a gentle aerobic activity that will gradually return your heartbeat to its resting rate.
[5]Properly fitting athletic shoes are also important to preventing foot injuries.Look for athletic shoes specific to your foot type.People with high arches (足弓) should buy shoes which have a lot of support,and people with fallen arches should look for shoes that advertise motion control.Buy your athletic shoes a half size bigger than your normal size as feet tend to increase in size when you exercise.
