15．It u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job，but if you won﹩50million，would you still pursue（追求）a higher education？
Re：If u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money，but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet．com．I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well．
With﹩50million，I would not have to worry about getting a loan（贷款）from Chase Bank or finding scholarships to study abroad．I would have published several books by now as well，but I would still pursue my education．Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician．Money may buy a lot of things，but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am hunting for now．
I am not just going to school to get a better job； I am going to school to realize all of my dreams．﹩50million is a lot of money，but no amount of money can keep me from my dreams．
Veggie thought："Money may make things easier，but it is not everything．"
Re：If u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
Would I still go？UMM，YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
I still want to teach…I don't care if I have more money than Bill Gates…I still want to be in a classroom teaching!!And I need a degree to do that!Teaching is my dream job，and it would make me really happy．
I would  pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend's loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money．
Re：If u won﹩50，000，000would u still go to college？
I would still go to college．The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there．I am looking for knowledge not money．The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge．
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have．

5．In early summer，one of the most popular fruit is strawberry（草莓）．It is said strawberry is the"Queen of fruit"as it has many nutritious elements．But many people feel that the strawberry in the current market tastes different as many strawberries are artificially（人工地）grown and some even have a scent of pesticides（杀虫剂）．So finding naturally-grown strawberries is a hot issue．There are some places where you can not only find tasteful strawberries，but also enjoy picking them．

6．The price of coffee beans hits a 12-year high today．I thought there might
be some kind of coffee-market story，like we saw with cocoa earlier this summer．
But the main driver of coffee prices right now is simpler：Colombia has had
a few year s of weak coffee harvests because of too much rain，which has reduced
the global supply．And coffee drinkers keep buying coffee，even as prices rise，in
other words，demand is unchanged．
The higher price of beans-up about 40percent since March-means higher prices for the coffee you buy by the pound．But it probably won't affect the coffee you buy by the cup．
Smuckers，which sells Folgers and Millstone coffees，recently said it was raising its prices because of the higher cost of beans．Starbucks，however，said it would absorb the higher cost of beans without raising prices．
"You see it much more in the grocery store because the raw materials are a big factor of cost，"Jose Sette of the International Coffee Organization told me．"In a coffee shop，your big expenses are rent and labor．"
While real-world supply and demand is the big driver of the price of beans，there may be some speculative action in coffee business in the future．
But futures （期货） of the high-grade Arabica beans are traded in the US，where regulations prevent speculators （投机商） from controlling the market，hoping such things won't happen just as in London summer market．That suggests that prices should fall when supply improves-which may happen next year．
Some experts say that farmers in third world countries won't actually benefit from higher prices in this case．When the price difference is due to supply and demand，the profit of the seller usually doesn't go up．

71．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A
A．Why coffee is getting more expensive？
B．How farmer benefits from the high price？
C．Whether the US will control the coffee market？
D．What has caused the reduction of coffee？
72．From the second paragraph we can infer that．B
A．Colombia is the coffee trading center of the world
B．Colombia coffee output contains a final share of the world
C．People need more and more coffee
D．Coffee sales will be getting less and less
73．In this summer's coffee bean market，B．
A．the US made more rules about coffee prices

D．coffee bean prices were very low in the US
74．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？C
A．The price difference determines the profit of the seller．

3．The number of smokers in England is about 8 million．According to the Department of Health，smoking is the biggest cause of early death in the country．Smokers in England have been asked to give up smoking for 28 days this month，in an action backed by Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation．
    Research shows people who manage not to light up for this length of time are 5 times more likely to kick the habit．Public health experts say campaigns that include a combination of hard-hitting ads and supportive messages work best．
Quitting smoking can be difficult．However，people are much more likely to succeed if other people are doing the same than if they try to do it alone and go cold turkey．Robert West，Director of Tobacco Studies at University College London，points out how pressure from people around can prevent a smoker going on smoking．"We are social animals，"he said．
The action has met some doubts among readers of the BBC News Online website．Some compared it to asking people to stop eating as a way of fighting overweight．Others doubt the action's effectiveness．"Its weakness is that it fails to explain why a person smokes，and the reasons are as many as the number of smokers"，says someone who signed as BluesBerry．
Another reader，Cazz，has decided to give it some credit．He says："Campaigns like this won't necessarily inspire the majority of smokers to quit，but may encourage those thinking about quitting to set a date and try．Surely it's worth a shot．"
63．What does the text mainly talk about？A
A．A new action to quit smoking．
B．A way of fighting overweight．
C．A country with the most smokers．
D．The biggest cause of early death．
64．The underlined phrase"go cold turkey"in the third paragraph means"C"．
A．buy a cold turkey    
B．eat too much food    
C．stop a bad habit        
D．get much support
65．Why is it easier to stop smoking when other people are doing the same？C
A．Because people usually respect each other．
B．Because they're faced with the same pressure．
C．Because people are influenced by each other．
D．Because they keep the same animals as pets．
66．What's Cazz's attitude in the last paragraph？D
A．Distant．       B．Doubtful．       C．Surprised．            D．Approving．
10．What's life like on a deserted island？Senator（参议员） Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out．
The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote，uninhabited island in the North Pacific Ocean．
The senator and his sons，15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin，traveled 5，200 miles from Phoenix，Arizona to the island of Biggarenn．They didn't carry any food or water．
The island is part of the Marshall Islands．It offered no basic facilities，so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water．Their diet was made up of coconuts，crab and fish．They captured the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass（放大镜）．
The Flakes brought along a lobster（龙虾） trap in hopes of having some delicious treats，but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark．They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water．It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water．
One of the most memorable moments of the trip，the father said，was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing（叉） a fish in the ocean．
Still，it was quite an enjoyable holiday for the senator．"For a dad it was a wonderful thing．No video games around，no television，no distractions，no texting，"Flake recalled．
41．What's a Robinson Crusoe style holiday like？D
A．People take the holiday to avoid modern entertainment．
B．People go on an adventurous sailing like Robinson Crusoe．
C．People take the holiday to learn to be a skillful fisherman．
D．People take the holiday on a place without any basic living facilities．
42．Where did the Flakes take their holiday？B
A．On a hill．B．On an island．C．In the ocean．D．In a desert．
43．They might have had all the things EXCEPTD．
A．coconuts           B．crab             C．fish             D．lobster
44．What kind of water did they drink？A
A．The purified sea water
B．Water from the river．
C．The running water nearby
D．Water they brought from home．
45．What was probably the most difficult period for the Flakes during the holiday？C
A．Being unable to make a fire．
B．Being unable to get fresh water．
C．Being chased by sharks．
D．Being unable to meet people．
20．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
Different cultures emphasize （强调） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree．For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust．Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time in"small talk"，usually over a glass of tea，before they do any job．In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office．
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures．I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion； instead there was an uncomfortable silence．The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much．In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．
Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems．Certainly，English and German cultures share similar values； however，Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly．We think that they are rude．In fact，this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．
People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other．However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural （多元文化） environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other．

54．In some countries，eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people toA．
A．develop closer relations   B．share the same culture
C．get to know each other     D．keep each other company

4．Mary's sister sings better than Susan．
