8．Harper Lee，whose 1961novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south，has died at the age of 89．
Until last year，Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend．To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize，remaining a towering presence in American literature．Another novel，Go Set a Watchman，was controversially published in July 2015as a"sequel"to Mockingbird，though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft．
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success，the author consistently avoided public attention．Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville，Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book．Her neighbor for 40years，Sue Sellers，said，"She was such a private person．All she wanted was privacy，but she didn't get much．There was always somebody following her around．"
James Naughtie，BBC Books Editor，commented on the novels of Harper Lee："I think she stands，particularly among American readers，as someone who shone a light into a very dark place．She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand．That all changed in the 1960s．So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain．"
24．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2probably mean？C
A．Lee became successful with stories on American south．
B．People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree．
C．Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature．
D．Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies．
25．What does"Maycomb"in Paragraph 3probably refer to？C
A．A nursing home．
B．Lee's hometown．
C．A fictional place．
D．A main character．
26．Which best describes Americans'attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s？B
A．Tolerant．
B．Unconcerned．
C．Sympathetic．
D．Dissatisfied．
27．What can we learn from the text？C
A．Lee based all her stories on her life．
B．Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans．
C．Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird．
D．Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life．

5．One of the newest taboos （禁忌） in American society is the topic of fat．Unlike many other taboos，fat is a topic that America talk about often．It is not taboo to talk about fat； it's taboo to be fat．
The"in"look is thin．In the work world，most companies prefer youthful-looking，slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public．The thin look is associated with youth，vigor and success．The fat person，on the other hand，is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy，self-discipline and self-respect．After all，people think，how can people who care about themselves，and therefore the way they look，allow themselves to become fat？In an image conscious society like the U．S．，fat is"out"．
It is not surprising，then，that millions of Americans have become obsessed （着迷）with staying slim and"in shape"．The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not，however，the only reason for America's obsession with diet and exercise．
Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health．As in most technologically developed nations，the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century．Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand．Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point．As the result of inactivity and disuse，people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease．In an effort to avoid such a fate，millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising．
The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear：parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists，physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day．
29．In the United States，fat is somethingA．
A．people always talk about
B．not regarded as a taboo topic
C．people usually pay no attention to
D．belonging to the same treatment as other taboos
30．What do Americans think of thin people？B
A．Their work helps them to look youthful
B．They are energetic and successful．
C．Their appearances affects their behavior
D．They are lacking in self-discipline．
31．According to Paragraph 4，which of the following is an example of"inactivity？C
A．Mary does her housework by hand．
B．Celia takes part in a marathon
C．Cecilia goes to her office by car．
D．Margaret plays badminton every Saturday．
32．Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists？D
A．Because these parks are fit for sports．
B．Because people are enjoying prestigious status in parks．
C．Because people are taking part in physical education programs．
D．Because people now recognize they should do more exercise．

12．Teenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults．A study，which included nearly 1，400high school students，found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers（同龄人） five years later．Why does this happen？Should the parents take any measures？
On the one hand，people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV，especially teenagers，may snack more，and that may affect their long-term diet quality．
On the other hand，TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods．And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids．
Lead researcher Dr．Daheia J．Barr-Anderson，of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis，told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood．While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food，those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake（吸收） of fruits，vegetables，whole grains and high-calcium（高钙） food．In her opinion，parents should limit and monitor TV viewing．
As far as I am concerned，children should watch no more than two hours of television per day．And parents should set a good example by eating right，being physically active and curbing their own TV time．
24．What's the best title for this passage？A
A．Teenagers'TV Time May Affect Their Diets Later
B．People Should Keep Away from TV to Keep Healthy
C．Why Do Teenagers Like TV？A
D．Parents'Own Habits May Affect Children Later
25．What suggestion does the author give the parents？
A．They can't do what they don't want their children to do．
B．They must watch TV with their children．
C．They should forbid the children to watch TV．
D．They should pay attention to nutrition in diets．
26．The underlined word "curbing" in the last paragraph can be replaced by"C"．
A．adding
B．stopping
C．controlling
D．checking
27．According to the passage，heavy TV viewers tend toB．
A．eat more fruits
B．take in fewer vegetables
C．eat less junk food
D．take in high-calcium food．

1．Iceland，an island just south of the Arctic Circle，has fairly mild winters，thanks to warm ocean currents．Time your vacation here during the winter months to take advantage of off-season deals．
Off-season means good deals on flights，hotels and tours．You may also find that the locals are a bit friendlier and more welcoming when tourists aren't arriving in crowds．
In the winter months，there are less than seven hours of daylight； thus，chances are good you'll catch sight of the northern lights．Sunsets are also beautiful at this time，making for some great photo opportunities．
In Iceland，winter is the perfect time to hike glaciers，go ice climbing，explore caves made out of hardened lava（岩浆） and much more．One of the most popular activities is off-roading（越野比赛） in a specially-equipped"super jeep"．
Before booking your trip，be sure to check for volcano alerts．There are about 130volcanoes on or around Iceland．Thirty-five of them are active．In 2010，a volcano named Eyjaallajokull exploded，sending clouds of ash up to four kilometers into the atmosphere．The ash drifted toward the UK and Europe．Because the ask could damage aircraft engines，airlines operating in the region were forced to cancel flights for six days．As a result，thousands of people were stuck in airports．
Recently，another volcano named Bardarbunga has become active，erupting ash into the air．Such events，if large enough，could prevent your trip from going ahead．So check the latest volcano news prior to making your reservations．

66．According to this article，why are you more likely to see the northern lights in the winterD？
A．They move from rural areas to cities．
B．The weather is more stable at that time．

D．The average price for a short tour of Iceland．

8．Horton
At first glance，there is little in Horton to attract people．The other nearby towns have much more to offer：Bradfield has its river and historic buildings，while Newtown has shops and entertainment．The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved．For shops，there is a small supermarket，a few bargain shops，a bakery which，strangely，does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sad-looking flowers．Even so，Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns．
Firstly，it has a country park．Four thousand years ago，this was an important fort．There are no historic remains here now，but there are wonderful views over the countryside．On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents，kicking balls or flying kites．
There aren't many job opportunities in Horton，and the roads to nearby cities aren't really fast，but there are excellent rail links．You can be in London in an hour and a half，and other cities are less than an hour away．That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families．Houses in Horton aren't pretty，but they're functional and cheap．The streets are quiet and safe，and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds．It has a library，three primary schools and a secondary school，St．Mark's．It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds．The town also has a swimming and a sports centre，and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages．
28．What is the writer's main purpose？B
A．To explain what tourists can do in Horton．
B．To explain why Horton is a good place to live in．
C．To explain why Horton is not as pleasant as other towns．
D．To describe the history of Horton．
29．Which part of Horton does the writer find disappointing？A
A．the shops         B．country park         C．transport links    D．the schools
30．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Horton？B
A．plenty of parks and playgrounds           B．historical buildings
C．the quiet and safe streets                 D．functional and cheap houses
31．What advantages does Horton bring to workers？C
A．There are plenty of jobs available in the town．
B．You can drive to nearby cities in a short time．
C．You can get to several cities quickly by train．
D．Working conditions are better here than in other towns．

5．Like international travelers anywhere，foreigners visiting the United States from other countries can be confused by some of what they encounter．Fortunately，their fellow travelers have plenty of advice．Here are some specially good travel advice from around the world．
From Italy：
Tipping is filled with misunderstanding．Q．Is it true that I have to"force"to tip at all？A．It is not mandatory to tip，however，it is strongly recommended，because in many cases it is the only entry of workers．Generally in a restaurant，in the cab，and in many places where there is a service tip is 15%．Since the bill that will explain you exactly the city tax of 8.875%，is sufficient to double that sum，without bothering to do the calculations．In the hotel you leave two dollars per day per person cleaning．Obviously you do not leave tips in places like McDonalds or Starbucks．
From China：
Americans love to follow rules，even when no one is looking．"Americans are such strict rule followers．I witnessed this once sitting on the sidelines of a high school dodge ball game．To me，it was ridiculous，a little violent，and very American．It struck me that my classmates followed the rules of the game so strictly．Even when no one noticed that a person had been hit and he could have kept playing，he voluntarily gave himself up and left the game．I was deeply impressed by how much people honored the rules even when they are not seen．"
From Russia：
Gifts are not a big deal．And did you know bribery （行贿） was illegal？"Gifts：Americans do not expect them．On the contrary，an unexpected gift while conducting business can put an American in an awkward position．Such things for Americans suggest exchange of commercial．
Business gifts in the U．S．are not acceptable．Moreover，they often cause suspicion．Americans fear that they could be interpreted as a bribe，and in the United States that is strictly punishable by law．"
From Japan：
Nobody is impressed by how much you can drink．"In the U．S．，they do not have a sense of pride if they drink a large amount．Rather，if you drink a lot，there is a sense that you cannot manage yourself，and you can lose respect from those around you．Being drunk doesn't excuse your actions，and to drink alcohol habitually is a sign of alcoholism．Alcoholics are seen as mentally weak，and are avoided by society due to their inability to have self control．"

One day，I was cooking in the kitchen when the telephone rings．I went to answer it immediately．She was my close friend，Lisa．When we were talking on a phone，the fire alarm sounded．I dashed back to the kitchen．The room full of smoke and the beef was bad burnt．I quickly turned off the gas，opening all the windows，and then rushed out of the house．In my surprise，two fire engines were outside my house．I was rather worrying．I told about the firemen that it was my careless cooking which caused the heavy smoke．
