When young people begin to live independently,home-hunting can involve some stress.But they would do well to remember that a new (41)D is available--micro-homes.
Called"tiny houses,"these houses have all living necessities in a small (42)A,including kitchen,bedroom and bathroom.Generally under 50square meters,most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more.What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.
Besides an attractive appearance,tiny houses can also boast (43)I practical features.Making the best of urban space,the 72-to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw,the world's narrowest home,filled in a corridor.The prototype (原型) home Ecocapsule uses solar power,wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live(44)F anywhere.A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or (45)K courtyard.
Visually (46)B as micro-homes are,there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting comfortable on a mini-couch.Moving into a tiny house requires the (47)C of most non-essentials,no matter the emotional connection to them.Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the (48)E space may even cause an unaccompanied individual to experience some cabin fever.And finally,a micro-home is likely a(n)(49)J living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions.
Though the limitations will scare some,there is usually a benefit.A small size results in a small price tag and small bills,making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget.And though you won't have much stuff around the house,this can provide the comfort of simple living and maintenance.Micro-homes are also practically mobile and boast eco-friendliness that can't be(50)G by other homes.They probably aren't for everyone or forever,but when it comes to your next (or first) home,they could be just what you need.
12.A single night of taking the drug Ecstasy (摇头丸) can cause serious brain damage and speed up the start of Parkinson's disease,scientists say.Just two or three Ecstasy tablets can permanently destroy brain cells that affect movement and reasoning,according to American research that links the drug to Parkinson's for the first time.
A study by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,Maryland,involving squirrel monkeys and baboons (狒狒) found that both species suffered permanent damage to key cells,which are lost in Parkinson's,after receiving three low doses(剂量)of Ecstasy at three-hour periods.
The study is particularly important because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human brain.George Ricaurte,who led the research,said that the widespread abuse of drug might have caused severe damage."The most troubling result is that young adults using Ecstasy may be increasing their risk of developing Parkinsonism as they get older."
Alan Leshner,a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse,said,"This study emphasizes the multi-aspect damage that Ecstasy causes to users.We've long known that repeated use damages brain cells.But this study shows that even very occasional use can have long-lasting effects on many different brain systems.It sends an important message to young people:don't experiment with your own brain."
Janet Betts,a mother whose teenage daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995,said,"This comes as no surprise.But people can't see the effects at first,and they say it won't happen to them.We'll see the symptoms later,just as we have with smoking."

A.won't cause serious brain damage
B.can permanently destroy one's brain cells
C.will result in immediate symptoms
D.may bring on Parkinson's at once
65.Why are squirrel monkeys and baboons involved in the experiments?A
A.Because their brain is similar to human being's.
B.Because these animals usually take drugs.
C.Because these animals will soon get well after the experiment.
D.Because there is a model in the animals'brains.

C.occasional use of the drug can have long-lasting effects on the brain systems
D.people have long known that repeated use of the drug damages brain cells.
19.Since the pre-historic times,man has had an urge to satisfy his needs.Be it hunger,shelter or search for a mate,he has always controlled the situations to his advantage.Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth.As we climbed the steps of development,we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking--we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of time.
If you are hungry,what do you do?Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet.Just like your stomach,even your mind is hungry.But it never lets you know,because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover,favorite star and many such things.So it silently began to care about your needs and never let itself grow.When mind looses its freedom to grow,creativity gets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think"What happens next?","Why can't I think?""Why am I always given the difficult problems?"Well,this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading.Now why reading and not watching TV?Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood.Just like that to develop other aspects of our life,we have to turn to reading.You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your"How to?"questions.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.The same seed,if used many times,can help you link and relate a lot of things,of which you would have never thought in your wildest dreams!This is nothing but creativity.More the number of books you read,your mind will open up like never before.
72.What is the function of the first paragraph?B
A.To show humans are the most developed.
B.To introduce the topic of the passage.
C.To indicate people have different needs to satisfy.
D.To explain why people need to read.
73.What does the author mean by saying"When mind looses its freedom to grow,creativity gets a full stop."A
A.When mind keeps growing,creativity fully stops.
B.When freedom is lost,creativity gets a full stop.
C.When mind stops growing,creativity fully stops.
D.When growing is lost,creativity gets a flail stop.
74.The paragraph following the passage is probably aboutB.
A.how the pre-historic man feeds his mind
B.what other advantages reading brings
C.how to develop creativity
D.how to satisfy your mind by watching TV
75.The author tends to tell usC.
A.reading can satisfy your all needs       
B.reading can result from creativity
C.reading can feed your mind             
D.reading can realize your dreams.
9.Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the‘wash up'.An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.
At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but,extraordinarily,are not routinely shown how to open a bank account-let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England.Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions,they say.And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children,Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called"wash-up"earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed.Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.
As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out,the good habits of young children do not last long.Over 75% of seven-to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17,over half of them are in debt to family and friends.By this age,26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power.Pfeg predicts that these young people will"find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents'generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school."
The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations.It does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university.In a recent poll of over 8,000 people,97% supported financial education in schools,while 3% said it was a job for parents.
61.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.how to manage school lessons
B.how to deal with the financial crisis
C.teaching young people about money
D.teaching students how to study effectively
62.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs thatA.
A.the author complains about the school education
B.pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract
C.students have been taught to manage their finances
D.laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
63.The website and the consumer campaigner joined toD.
A.instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money
B.promote the connection of schools and families
C.ask the government to dismiss the parliament
D.appeal for the curriculum of financial education
64.According to Pfeg,D.
A.it is easy to keep good habits long
B.teenagers spend their money as planned
C.parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids

13.Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete.Couple of years ago,this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish.All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day,when the human being will be cloned,is not far away.Human cloning has always been a topic of argument,in terms of morality or religion.
    Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial,among many cases,it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning.If the clone was free of genetic limitations.then the other clone would be as well.The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term.Moreover,cloning would enable women,who can't get pregnant,to have children of their own.
    Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned,so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.This,surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ (s).It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
    Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side.Primarily,I believe that cloning would step in the normal"cycle"of life.There would be a large number of same genes,which reduce the chances of improvement,and,in turn,development-the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment.Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance.Furthermore,cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear.Thus,leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and,chances are,that those individuals would be regarded as"objects"rather than people in the society.
    Scientists haven't 100 per cent.guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal.Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human"gene-pool".
    Regarding such arguable topics in"black or white"approach seems very innocent to me personally.We should rather try to look at all"shades"of it.I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans.Then we could regard this as for"saving life"instead of"creating life".I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
67.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
A.Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women.
B.A large number of genes will prevent us from developing.         
C.Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists.
D.First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists.
68.What's the author's opinion on cloning?D
A.Cloning should be entirely banned.
B.Cloning should be used in creating life.
C.Cloning will take away the right to reproduce.
D.Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs.
69.Where can you read this article?B
A.In a story book.        
B.In a magazine.
C.In a science fiction.   
D.In a brochure.
70.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.
