9．Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises，according to scientists．They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories（卡路里）to produce heat．
Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice's belly by half over four weeks，even if they ate more．US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown．White fat stores calories and makes us fatter，while brown burns energy to produce heat．Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult，normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body's nervous system．
However，scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown．The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice．Those，who lived alongside a greater number of mice，had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their"couch potato"fellows．
Study author，Dr Matthew During，whose team's findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism，said，"I'm still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs．"Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing，he added，"It's not just a sedentary （久坐的）lifestyle and high calorie foods，but an increasing lack of social activities．"Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，"Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death； it's equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent．Social activities are very vital．，

67．What information can we get from the first two paragraphs？D
A．Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter．
B．It doesn't take long to turn white fat into brown．
C．Social excitement helps gain more weight．
D．Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat．
68．Which of the following statement does the text support？A
A．Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing．
B．The mice lacking social life lose more weight．
C．The research findings haven't been published so far．
D．Dr Matthew During wasn't convinced of the result．
69．We can conclude from the text thatC．
A．the fat in mice's belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment
B．a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people's social life
C．surfing the Internet may influence people's face-to-face communication
D．cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life
70．What's the main idea of the text？D
A．Brown fat is beneficial to people's health．
B．Socializing is unnecessarily important in people's daily life．
C．White fat can be changed into brown fat．
D．Socializing contributes to people's losing weight．
10．When I was six years old，my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book．I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number．When I couldn't find it，I just dialed seven numbers．When someone answered，I'd ask，"Is that Michael Jordan？"Obviously，I always had the wrong number．
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center．It was very big．I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building．The recreation center had a special smell in it，sort of like hot rubber．I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard．The atmosphere on the court was carefree．Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot．We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant．
I got good at it，and my confidence grew．I played it all the time until the sixth grade．As soon as junior high school came，I stopped playing basketball and focused on school．When senior high school started，I tried out for the school team and made it．We worked hard．Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own．Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power，because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball．If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups，we could practice dribbling （运球） and shooting more．It's just us，the ball，the court and the net．But don't take my word for it．See for yourself．After all，I'm just one kid playing the game．

26．From Paragraph 1 we know thatC
A．the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B．the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C．the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D．the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time

A．The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center．
B．The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball．
C．The days before the author went to senior high school．
D．The author's happy childhood with his teammates．
28．What surprised the author most at the recreation center？B
A．That it was very near to his home．
B．That there was a basketball court inside the building．
C．That there was a special smell in it．
D．That there was a fast food restaurant in it．
29．The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups becauseD
A．it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B．it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C．it is the only way to make people stronger
D．it helps keep stomach power
30．What's the author's purpose in writing this passage？C

C．To introduce his own experience of playing basketball．
D．To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying．
7．Social Networking and Its Effect
Social networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives．Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world．Nowadays，a reputation online is more important．Some are even finding a way to make a living online．Social media seems to have quite the impact，especially on teenagers．
Years ago，before social networking existed，friends would go out and have a good time，and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people．Today，popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr．Tumblr has its own way of creating"celebrities"．Users are considered"Tumblr famous"if they have a high number of followers．Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face．Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore； it is just about being known for absolutely nothing．
Social networking has its positives，considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds．Although this is extremely useful，it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations．People are attacked over the Internet，but do not say a word to each other in person．Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be．Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people，which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen．Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction．
Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages．Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch．Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life，but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through social media．Social networking makes things easier，but that does not always mean that it makes things better．
Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have．They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people，keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world．Social media has ruined how life should be：fun，adventurous and exciting．Instead，it has turned most teenagers into anti-social couch potatoes．There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world．

1．A．Agra Fort
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16th-century Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra．This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses，within its 2.5-km-long enclosure walls，the imperial city of the Mughal rulers．It comprises many fairy-tale palaces，such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal，built by Shah Jahan； audience halls，such as the Diwan-i-Khas； and two very beautiful mosques．
B．Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world，and some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed．The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals，the Muslim rulers of India．Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble．It was constructed over a period of twenty-two years，employing twenty thousand workers．It was completed in 1648C．E．at a cost of 32Million Rupees．
C．Keoladeo National Park
This former duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan，Turkmenistan，China and Siberia．Some 364species of birds，including the rare Siberian crane，have been recorded in the park．
D．Humayun's Tomb，Delhi
This tomb，built in 1570，is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent．It inspired several major architectural innovations，culminating in the construction of the Taj Mahal．The gardens also contain the red-and-white sandstone and black-and-yellow marble tomb of Humayun's wife and the tomb of Humayun's barber．
E．Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States--and one of the wonders of the world．Much of the park's beauty is related to its geology and ecology．Schmidt explores the shape of the land，its plants and animals，and its human history．A fascinating book that everyone visiting the Grand Canyon should read．The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is really exciting．
F．Sundarbans National Park
The Sundarbans covers 10，000sq．km of land and water （more than half of it in India，the rest in Bangladesh） in the Ganges delta．It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests．A number of rare or endangered species live in the park，including tigers，aquatic mammals，birds and reptiles．

8．Disease，poverty，hate，love-Charles Dickens'stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age．Two hundred years on，his stories still speak volumes（有意义）across the world，proving that Dickens'legacy（遗产）was far greater than just"great literature"
     February 7 marks the 20th anniversary of the writer's birthday．To mark this date，BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modem world．Let's take a look at two of them．
A white Christmas
     Dickens is described  as"the man who invented Christmas"-not the religious festival，but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today．In the early 19th century，Christmas was barely worth mentioning，according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt．The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day-unthinkable in the West nowadays，when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off．
  Many people believe that Dickens'popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come．In his classic novel，A Christmas Carol，he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas，but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-home enjoyments，affections and hopes．
    In his biography of Dickens，Peter Ackroyd wrote："Dickens Can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modem idea of Christmas．"
"Dickensian"poverty
      Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian（the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from l837 to 1901）London．
He helped popularize the term"red tape"to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作风）in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and  poorer members of society．
"Dickensian"has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty．In 2009，when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation（剥夺权利）in some areas of Britain，she did not use words like"terrible"or"horrific"，but rather described it as"life mirroring the times of Dickens"．

60．What is the main idea of the article？B
  A．An introduction to Charles Dickens'classic novels．
  B．Charles dickens'impact on the world．
  C．Charles Dickens'amazing characters．
  D．Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world．
61．Why is Dickens called"the man who invented Christmas"？B
  A．Because he created the religious festival．
  B．Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas．
  C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations． 
  D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas．
62．According to the article，the phrase"red tape"refers toD．
  A．rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
  B．a situation in which poor members of society are hurt．
  C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
  D．pointlessly time-consuming official procedures．
5．Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs，counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation，died on Wednesday at the age of 56，after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer．Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto，California，and Apple stores around the world．
Steve Jobs made technology fun．As tech leaders，they're really happy if they have one hit in their life．Steve Jobs has the Apple II，the Mac，the iPod，the iPhone，the iPad and Pixar．
Steve Jobs was a college dropout．He was adopted by a machinist and his wife，an accountant．They supported his early interest in electronics．He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer-now just called Apple-in 1976．They stayed at the company until 1985．That year，Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive．
Mr Jobs then formed his own company，called NeXT Computer．He rejoined Apple in 1997after it bought NeXT．He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today．However，Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health．He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement．Steve left behind a company that only he could have built，and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple．
President Obama said in a statement：by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage，Steve Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity（独创性的）．By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets，he made the information revolution not only accessible，but intuitive and fun．
The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really stunning．He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford，so one of the greatest of all time．Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology，he also revolutionized American business．Steve Jobs was remembered as a"great visionary and leader"and a"marketing genius．"

13．Have you ever wished for a thirty-hour day？Surely this extra time would relieve the tremendous pressure which we live．Our lives leave a trail of unfinished tasks．Unanswered letters，unvisited friends，unwritten articles，and unread books haunt quiet moments when we stop to evaluate．We desperately need relief．
But would a thirty-hour day really solve the problem？Wouldn't we soon be just as frustrated as we are now with our twenty-four allotment？A mother's work is never finished，and neither is that of any manager，student，teacher，minister，or anyone else we know．Nor will the passage of time help us catch up．Children grow in number and age to require more of our time．Greater experience brings more exacting assignments．So we find ourselves working more and enjoying it less．We are accuslomed to working without stop．
When we stop to evaluate，we realize that our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time； it is basically the problem of priorities（优先顺序）．Actually hard work does not hurt us．We all know what it is to go full speed for long hours，totally involved in an important task．The resulting weariness is matched by a sense of achievement and joy．Not hard work，but doubt and misgiving （疑虑） produce anxiety as we review a month or year and become oppressed by the pile of unfinished tasks．We sense demands have driven us onto a reef of frustration．We confess，quite apart from our sins，"we have left undone those things，which we ought to have done； and we have done those things which we ought not to have done．"To do the urgent thing or to finisnh the important thing，is a sharp question．
Several years ago an experienced cotton-mill manager said to me，"Your greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out of the important．"He didn't realized how hard his maxim hit．It often returns to haunt and rebuke me by raising the critical problem of priorities．
We live in constant tension between the urgent and the important．The problem is that the important task rarely must be done today，or even this week．The urgent task calls for instant action-endless demands，pressure every hour and day．
A man's home is no longer his castle； it is no longer a place away from urgent tasks because the telephone breaches the walls with imperious（专横的） demands．The momentary appeal of these tasks seems irresistible and important，and they devour our energy．But in the light of time's perspective their deceptive prominence fades； with a sense of loss we recall the important tasks pushed aside．We realize we've become slaves to the"tyranny（暴政） of the urgent．"

51．The reason why we sometimes wish to have a thirty-hour day is that weC．
A．have too much work to complete  
B．need more time to enjoy our lives
C．need longer hours to ease pressure                
D．are used to working without stop
52．From Paragraph 3，we find anxiety increases when weD．
A．stop to think about our dilemma 
B．go full speed working at our task
C．are doing meaningless things    
D．recall lots of unfinished work
53．The motto that hits the writer tells usB．
A．to finish the urgent and the important thing
B．to avoid the urgent pushing out the important
C．the urgent thing shouldn't be done instantly
D．the important thing is different from the urgent
54．The writer presents the article to remind us thatA．
A．the urgent is not always to come first
B．the problem of time shortage is tough
C．the important is not always depressing
D．the way to deal with the urgent is hard．
