17．Mike was dying to apply for a new job，but he was unconfident of himself，for he thought of himself as a （41）failure （fail） and unworthy of success．He believed that the other applicants were better and more （42）qualified （qualify） than him．
Mike's mind was occupied with negative thoughts and fears concerning （43）the job．When the day for the interview （44）came （come），he got up late and went to the interview hurriedly，in dirty clothes and with messy hair．He was unsure of getting the job．
It so happened that Jim was competing for the job，too，but he approached the matter in a（45）completely （complete） different way．Before the interview，he had made full preparations for everything needed．He dressed himself decently and behaved properly in the interview，（46）leaving （leave） a favorable impression on the interviewer．Expectedly，Jim（47）was informed （ inform） that he got the job eventually．

分析 本文作者通过讲述两个求职者对待面试截然不同的态度及表现，旨在说明有时一个人的外表就是一面镜子，它不仅反映了一个人的素质，而且还反映了出他的精神状态；通常，有积极态度的人要比消极态度的人更容易成功．

解答 41．failure     考查名词     此处用在冠词之后，意为：一个失败者；故用名词failure
42．qualified       考查过去分词      此处在句中作表语，用来说明某人，即the other applicants （其他求职者）的情况，故用过去分词qualified
43．the     考查定冠词     根据上文可知，此处应表示特指第一段中提到的 a new job，故用the
44．came     考查时态    由于此处讲述的是Mike 以前找工作的经历，并且根据下文使用了一般过去时可知，此处应使用一般过去时；故填came
45．completely    考查副词    此处用来修饰形容词different；故用副词completely
46．leaving     考查现在分词    根据句意可知，空缺处在句中作结果状语；动词leave与其逻辑主语He构成主谓关系，故用现在分词leaving
47．was informed    考查被动语态    结合上文可知，此处应表示：吉姆被告知他最终得到了这份工作；由于动词 inform与主语Jim构成动宾关系，根据上文使用了一般过去时可知，此处应使用一般过去时态的被动语态；故填was informed   
48．which     考查关系代词     根据句意以及空缺处之前的逗号可知，本句是非限定性的定语从句；这里指代的应是前面的整个句子，意为：有时你的外表就是一面镜子，它以某种方式反映了你的素质；故填关系代词which
49．to succeed    考查固定的表达方式      固定表达be more likely to do 意为：很可能做某事；故填to succeed    
50．those   考查代词     根据句意"有积极态度的人要比消极态度的人更容易成功．"可知，此处指代的应是people；故用代词those

15．Not very long ago，the question would have seemed absurd．Now it is on the lips of respected scientists； MPs（议员） are beginning to talk of"a war on sugar"，and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be，like the old enemy tobacco，taxed in order to protect the nation's health．
There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking，when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left，for Government was：what should we do about it？
Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar．Others-largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry-say the entire debate has been skewed，（歪曲） by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous．
More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you．There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant，avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes，heart disease and other long-term conditions．
But to what extent is sugar-rather than saturated fats，or salt，carbohydrates or proteins，or any of the other devils of modem diets-the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it？
Yesterday，hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organization （WHO） were confused once again，which，widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance，instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10per cent of the energy we consume，while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have"additional benefits"．The decision will now go out to public consultation．
Simon Capewell，professor of the University of Liverpool，said that he suspected"dirty work"on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message．
"The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入） in families，we must protect personal choice，"Professor Capewell said．"We say there is no personal choice．At the moment，a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups-with three，or four，or five teaspoons of sugar in them．She has a choice of thousands of ready meals-with five，or six，or even nine teaspoons of sugar in．"

8．Chicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian carp，a giant fish native to the Far East，from coming into North America's Great Lakes in large numbers．Such a move could cost up to$18bn，a heavy economic burden to the city．
This species，more than a metre in length，was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage（污水）treatment plants．But they escaped into the Mississippi River and increased in number quickly，making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threatening the native fish species along the way．
"Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats approach．''Michael Beecham，a local environmental expert，described how frightening the scene was．"I've gone down the river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face．It is a big problem for our native species，"he said．
A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem，one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago's canal system．Listening at the meeting was John Goss，who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the canal system would have on industry．"It would certainly increase the cost of transportation，"he told．"It is currently very cheap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal．"
Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence．Dirk Fucik is selling carp burger（鲤鱼汉堡包）at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago．He thinks the carps are a great resource．"To catch it and throw it away is a waste，"he says．"Eating them helps solve the problem and also provides jobs．"But the idea has not yet caught on．So far，he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers．

4．Some people have travelled to Canada while others may have just heard of it．As is known to all，the Canadian red and white mildly leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada．The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11points on a white background，with red borders down each side．The Canadian flag is twice as long as its width．The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag．Canada is a very large country，too．It is the second largest country in the world．By contrast，it has a very small population．There are only about 29million people there．Most Canadians are of British or French origin，and French is an official language as well as English．About 45% of the people are of British origin，that is，they or their parents or grandparents，etc．come from Britain．Nearly 30% are of French origin．Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of Quebec．Over the years，people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world．They are mostly from European countries and also from China，as well as other Asian countries．
However，Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive．Canadian-Indian lived along the coast，by the rivers and lakes and in forests．Today there are only 350 000Canadian-Indians in the whole country，with their own language．In the far north live the Inuits．There are only 27 000Canadian-Inuits．Their life is hard in such a harsh climate．

11．A new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives in northern China．Researchers estimate that the half-billion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5 years less than their southern counterparts because they breathed dirtier air．
China itself made the comparison possible：for decades，a now-discontinued government policy provided free coal for heating，but only in the colder north．Researchers found significant differences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions．
While previous studies have found that pollution affects human health，"the deeper and
ultimately more important question is the impact on life expectancy，"said one of the researchers，Michael Greenstone，a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of一Technology．
"This study provides a unique setting to answer the life expectancy question because the
（heating） policy dramatically changes pollution concentrations（含量），Greenstone said in an email．"Further，due to the low rates of migration in China in this period，we can know people's exposure over long time periods，"he said．
The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and offices to cities north of the Huai Riv饥which divides China into north and south．It was in effect for much of the 1950-198，0 period of central planning，and，though discontinued after 1980，it has left a legacy（遗留Pl in the north of heavy coal burning，which releases particulate pollutants into the air that can harm human health．Researchers found no other government policies that treated China's north differently from the south．
The researchers collected data for 90cities，from 1981to 2000，on the annual daily average
concentration of total suspended（悬浮的）particulates．In China，those are considered to be particulates that are 100micrometers or less in diameter，sent out from sources including power stations，construction sites and vehicles．Among them，PM2.5is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs．
The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies using death data from 1991-2000．They found that in the north，the concentration of particulates was 184micrograms per cubic meter一or 55percent higher than in the south，and life expectancies were 5.5years lower on average across all age ranges．

62．The main idea of this passage is thatA．
A．research in China finds air pollution shortened life expectancy
B．the government provided free coal for heating in North China
C．coal burning causes bad air quality across China
D．a new study finds different particulates in South China
63．According to Greenstone，Cgreatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations in North China．
A．power stations 
B．construction sites
C．the free heating policy 
D．gases from vehicles
64．It is implied in the passage thatB•
A．coal is no longer used for heating in North China
B．air quality was comparatively better in South China
C．southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980s
D．people preferred to live in South China after 1980
65．The underlined word"particulates"most probably meansC．
A．dirty clouds
B．particular smoke
C．harmful dust 
D．dangerous bacteria．
6．Were you the first or the last child in your family？Or were you a middle or an only child？Some people think （61）itmatters where you were born in your family．But there are different ideas about  what birth order means．Some people say that oldest children，（62）whoare smart and strong-willed，are very likely（63）to succeed（succeed）．The reason（64）forthis is simple．Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention．An only child will succeed for（65）thesame reason．
What happens to the（66）otherchildren in the family？Middle children don't get so much attention，so they don't feel that important．If a family has many children，the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd．The youngest child，（67）however，often gets special treatment．Often this child grows up to be funny．But a recent study saw things quite（68）differently（difference）．The study found that first children believed in family rules．They didn't take many chances in（69）theirlives．They usually（70）followed（follow） orders．Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family．They took chances and they often did better in life．
