18.More and more parents are worrying about their daughters who have become overweight.Girls who think they aren't popular at school are at higher risk for weight gain,according to a new study.It's long been known that being overweight can lead to social exclusion (排斥) for teens,but researchers at Harvard University discovered:whether a student's opinions of her social position played a role in her weight.
To find out,the researchers measured the body weight of nearly 4,500 girls aged 12 to 18.
Two years later,the researchers found,all of the girls had gained weight-no surprise,since they were all growing.But girls who thought they were less popular at school were at a 70 percent higher risk of gaining extra weight.
The researchers considered something else besides the collected information,including whether a child was overweight at the start of the study,family income,a mother's weight,diet,television viewing habits and some other things that can affect childhood weight gain.But the opinions of girl's popularity are more likely to affect he girls'weight.
Experts suggested that parents concerned about a girl's weight should look not only at eating habits but also at their child's social network,encouraging relationships with friends and joining in group activities.Meanwhile schools should also organize more programs to help girls build social skills,they added.
64.Which kind of girls is less likely to gain extra weight?B
A.Those who like watching TV for a long time per day.
B.Those whose parents show no sign of being overweight.
C.Those who are self-centered and not optimistic.
D.Those who enjoy meals rich in high oil and fat.
65.What can parents do in controlling their teenage girls'weight?D
A.They encourage their kids to study hard.
B.They ask their daughters eat as they please
C.They record the body weight measurements of their own kids.
D.They make their kids communicate more with others.
66.It can be concluded from this passage thatA.
A.A rising number of teenager girls are becoming overweight
B.Some schools have already organized various activities for teenager girls.
C.Girls aged 17 are certainly heavier than those aged 14.
D.The researchers reached the final discovery only by studying the collected information.
67.How is the text organized?B

9.Become a confident speaker.How to improve your English speaking skills and make you able to communicate more easily and effectively?The following tips will help you to become a more confident speaker.
Practice where you can and when you can.And practice is good-whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not.
It's important to build up your confidence.If possible,use the simple sentence structure that you know is correct,so that you can concentrate on getting your message across.
Try to experiment with the English you know.Apply (应用) words and phrases you know to new situations.Native English speakers are likely to correct you if you use the wrong word.They usually don't mind if you use wrong grammar.
Try to respond to what people say to you.You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language.Respond to them in a natural way.
Never translate everything into your own language.It takes you much time and you'll find it difficult to find an English answer right away.You don't know how to do well.The more you want to act well,the more slowly you act.This will make you hesitant.
If you forget a word,do what native English speakers do all the time,and say things that‘fill'the conversation.This is better than remaining completely silent.Try using‘um',‘er',if you forget the word.
Don't speak too fast!It's important to use a natural rhythm (节奏) in speaking English,but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you.
Try to relax when you speak,and you'll find that your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you.Speak English at a normal speed.
Final tips:Try to become less hesitant.Don't be shy to speak-the more you do it,the more confident you'll become.Remember to be polite-use"please"and"thank you"if you ask someone to do something for you.

60.What is the text mainly about?B
A.Good ways of studying English well.
B.Suggestions on becoming a confident speaker.
C.Things to pay attention to when speaking English.
D.How to correct your mistakes as you speak English.
61.How many tips does the author offer in this text?C
A.9.      B.10.     C.11.     D.12.
62.In this passage,the underlined word"hesitant"in the sixth paragraph means"D".

6.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live,we must communicate with other people.A great deal of(50)Ais performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple(51)Dof speech.If we travel in buses,buy things in shops,or eat in restaurants,we are likely to have(52)Awhere we give information or opinions,receive news or comment,and very(53)Bhave our views challenged by other members of society.
Face-to-face(54)Ais by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the(55)Bfactors of current society.Two things,above others,have caused the enormous(56)Aof the communication industry.Firstly,inventiveness has(57)Cadvances in imprinting,telecommunications,photography,radio and television.Secondly,speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,which itself is often almost eclipsed (失去优势)by international news.
No longer is the possession of information(58)Bto a wealthy minority.In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed(59)A,but today there are public libraries.Forty years ago people used to go to the cinema,but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being(6)0A_ into millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information.The modem communication(61)Athe way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing(62)Bto information,education and entertainment.The printing,broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very(63)Cto the individual and to the society,of which he is a part,the vast modem network of communication is open to misuse(64)D,the mass media ARE with us,for better,for worse,and there is no turning back.

13.People with disabilities make up a large part of the population.It is estimated(估计) that over 35 million Americans have physical,mental,or other disabilities.About half of these disabilities are"developmental",i.e.,they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday,often from genetic conditions,and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development,such as mobility,communication,employment,etc.Most other disabilities are considered"adventitious",i.e.,accidental or caused by outside forces.
Prior to the 20th century,only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long.Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable.Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food,shelter,and medical treatment.Unfortunately,these basics are often not available.Civil liberties such as the right to vote,marry,get an education,and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.
In recent decades,the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements(违反,侵犯)of civil rights.Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes.
Still today,people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently.It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed,and a majority of those who do work are underemployed.About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.
Significant barriers,especially in transportation and public awareness,prevent disabled people from taking part in society.For example,while no longer prohibited by law from marrying,a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
1.A"developmental"disabilityB.
A.develops very slowly over time      
B.occurs in youth and affects development
C.is caused by forces                
D.is getting more and more severe
2.Most disabled people used to die early becauseB.
A.disabilities destroyed major bodily functions   
B.medical techniques were not available 
C.they were not very well looked after
D.they were too poor to get proper treatment
3.In the author's opinion,to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society,D.
A.more laws should be passed           
B.more public facilities should be set up
C.government should provide more aids   
D.public attitudes should be changed
4.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?B
A.Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.
B.Discriminatory(带歧视性的)laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.
C.The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.
D.The disabled people feel inferior to(低于)those surrounding them.
5.The best title for this passage might beA.
A.Handicaps(障碍)of People with Disabilities
B.The physical difficulties of the Disabled
C.The Causes for Disabilities
D.Medical Treatments for Disabilities.
3.Living with physical disabilities can be challenging in all kinds of ways.But different from what most parents think,physical disabilities are no barrier(障碍)to a child enjoying all the benefits that healthy exercise and outdoor play can bring.The importance of exercise has been stressed in recent years as the problems connected with being too fat and poor mental(精神的)health become ever more widespread.Being physically disabled does not mean that a child cannot be affected by these problems.And being active is a natural and fun way of preventing problems like these from having a bad influence.
A swimming pool is one of the best places possible for physically disabled children to enjoy themselves.With proper support,whether from parents or from correctly trained professionals,children can get great benefits from being in the pool.The water provides both support and resistance(阻力),giving a cardiovascular(心血管的)workout as well as making muscles strong.Being able to feel free in a way that is not possible on land is another benefit of swimming.
It is possible to play most ball games with a group of children in wheelchairs.Moving and dancing to music is a great social activity for physically disabled children as well as something parents call enjoy with children.A parent or carer can help the child move in time to music or show movements to the child.Playing a modified (调整的)form of volleyball with a lowered net means that children in wheelchairs can take part and healthy people can sit on chairs to play with them.
With some imagination,enjoying activities with a child who is disabled is not a problem.With access to some special equipment,children with physical disabilities do not have to be limited in how they play.

72.What do most parents think of the children with physical disabilities?B
A.They can't really enjoy their lives.
B.They can't enjoy physical activities.
C.They have to stay indoors to protect themselves.
D.They are more likely to become too fat.
73.What benefits can physically disabled children get from swimming?C
a.getting support from professionals
b.making their muscles stronger
c.doing good to their heart
d.enjoying themselves by feeling free
A.acd    B.abd    C.bcd    D.abe
74.Why is dancing a good form of exercise for physically disabled children?A
A.It can offer them a chance to socialize with others.
B.It is easy for them to copy the musical movements.
C.It is the only exercise that they can do without wheelchairs
D.It is the most common exercise that they can enjoy with their parents
75.The passage is written toC
A.tell disabled children the importance of exercise
B.teach parents how to treat their disabled children
C.encourage disabled children to take physical activities
D.call on people to pay more attention to disabled children.
10.An experimental treatment that causes AIDS patients to develop a dangerously high fever has shown promise as a way of prolonging and improving the patients'life.Called the Biologic-HT System,the new treatment lets doctors extract the blood of a patient and heat it before circulating it back into the body.The heated blood causes the patient's body temperature to rise above 42 degrees Celsius.In people with AIDS,that increase in temperature kills some heat-sensitive HIV,the virus,most doctors say,causes AIDS.
Heating the blood of AIDS patients has been tried before,say doctors.But during previous attempts,the treatment induced deadly chemical changes in the blood.The Biologic-HT System prevents those changes from happening,allowing the heat to kill viruses with few ill side effects.
The new heat treatment cannot be considered a cure for Aids,says president of the company that makes the system.He says the treatment doesn't kill all traces of the virus.However,it kills enough virus particles to give a patient's immune system a reprieve in its deadly duel with HIV.
Tests of the Biologic-HT treatment began on 36 patients earlier this year.The treatment takes about four hours,and the patient normally feels well enough to leave the hospital or clinic the following morning.
So far,the patients who have had the treatment say they feel better and have developed no new opportunistic infections-disease that strike people with damaged immune systems.The patients also have experienced about a 50 percent increase in the number of T cells in their bodies.T cells are key disease-fighting cells of the immune system and the main target of HIV.
36.This passage is mainly concerned withA.
A.a way for treating AIDS              
B.a heat-sensitive virus
C.the immune system of the human body
D.the function of high temperature
37.The blood of the patientD.
A.is heated with a single injection
B.is heated by being circulated at a higher rate
C.is taken out from the body and then circulated through a heating system.
D.is taken out from the body,heated outside and then put back into the body.
38.The previous attempts to use high temperature for treating AIDS failed because theyA.
A.caused chemical changes     B.could not kill HIV effectively
C.resulted in deaths          D.killed both HIV and healthy cells
39.According to the passage,the new treatment.B
A.can kill all the HIV viruses
B.cannot eliminate the viruses completely
C.can double the number of disease-fighting cells
D.can reconstruct the patient's immune system.
40.The result of the experiment seems to beC.
A.disappointing   B.incomplete   C.successful     D.surprising.
7.Asian parents are spending billions of dollars on private tutors (家庭教师) for their children and the practice is growing despite doubts about its effectiveness,according to an Asian Development Bank study published Wednesday,AFP reported.
"Shadow education"is an expanding business not only in wealthy countries,but also in some of the region's poorer nations as parents try to give their children the best start in life,the study said.Nearly nine out of 10 South Korean elementary pupils receive private tutoring,while the figure for primary school children in India's West Bengal state stands at six out of 10.
he study estimated that the costs of private tutoring in South Korea were equivalent (相等的) to 80 percent of government spending on public education.Japan spent 12 billion on extra teaching in 2011,while the figure for Singapore stood at US$ 680 million in 2009.
Extra academic work aims to help slow learners and support high achievers.Many Asian parents view it as a constructive way for adolescents to spend their spare time.However,it can also reduce the students'time for sports and other activities important for their overall development as well as cause social tensions as richer families are able to pay for better-quality tutoring,the study said.
The study calls for a review of educational systems to make such extra teaching less attractive.
56.Why is"Shadow education"an expanding business?D
A.Because parents want to spend their money.
B.Because children don't want to go to school.
C.Because parents want their children to stay with teachers.
D.Because parents want to give their children the best start in life.
57.According to the article,what is the purpose of extra academic work?A
A.To aid slow learners and support high achievers.
B.To prepare children for all kinds of academic contests.
C.To increase children's hobbies and interests in many fields.
D.To gain the most knowledge that students can't get in class.
58.Which disadvantage of extra academic work is NOT mentioned?C
A.Causing social tensions.
B.Spending more extra money.
C.Lacking the chance to communicate with others.
D.Reducing the students'time for sports and other activities.
59.What is the text mainly about?D
A.The government policy on educational systems.
B.How to provide the best education for children.
C.The importance for children's overall development.
D.The reasons for the popularity of private tutors for children.
