13.Parents seem to be looking in an unusual place for inspiration for baby names this year-their smartphones and iPads.
The number of babies named after Apple products has soared-Apple,Siri and Mac have all risen in popularity as baby names this year,according to parenting advice site BabyCenter's annual report.
Siri-the name of the app (计算机应用程序) on iPhones-has risen by 5% on the list of girl names in popularity,for parents surely like the pronunciation of it,and the name Apple,though still an unusual choice,has risen by 15% for girls,which has climbed 585places up BabyCenter's chart this year.Meanwhile,for boys,the name Mac has jumped 12%.
The huge success of iPhone and iPad seems to be behind the new trend-BabyCenter describes the youngsters as'iBabies',"The smart phones may just be the best parenting tool since diapers (纸尿裤) and some parents are showing their respect to industry leader Apple in their choice of baby names,"says Linda Murray,the site's global editor in chief.
Space-themed baby names also rose in popularity,lb is perhaps inspired by the publicity around NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover."It seems space was a huge naming inspiration for parents this year:Sky,Star,Luna,Skylar,Heaven,Stella,and Mars all flew higher than last year,"says Miller.

12.Childhood obesity(41)is considered(consider) one of the most serious health challenges of the 21st century.Obesity can(42)harm(harmful) nearly every organ in a child's body---heart and lungs,muscles and bones,kidneys as well as the hormones(荷尔蒙)(43)that/whichcontrol blood sugar and puberty(青春期).What's worse,young people who are overweight or obese are likely to remain so even when they grow into adulthood,(44)increasing(increase)the risk of developing disease and disability later in life.
Globally,an(45)estimated(estimate) 43million preschool children under the age of 5were overweight or obesity in 2010,a 60% increase since 1990.The problem affects countries rich and poor,and places the greatest burden(46)onthe poorest:of the world's 43million overweight and obese preschoolers,35million live in developing countries.By 2020,if the current epidemic(盛行) continues,9% of all preschoolers will be overweight or obese---nearly 60million children.
Obesity rates are higher in adults(47)thanin children.But in relative terms,the U.S.,Brazil,China,and other countries have seen the problem arise more(48)rapidly(rapid) in children than in adults.
Of course,some regions still struggle hard with child(49)hunger(hungry),such as Southeast Asia and Africa.But globalization has made(50)theworld wealthier,and wealth and weight are linked.
1.I was brought up in the British,stiff upper lip style.Strong feelings aren't something you display in public.So,you can imagine that I was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief (悲伤) at a Chinese funeral.
My editorial team leader died recently after a short illness.He was 31.The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset.A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk.Somehow we got through the day's work.The next day was the funeral.
Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears.She carried on,in Chinese of course,but at the end said in English:"There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven."Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion.Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute (哀悼),weeping openly as he spoke.Sorrow is spreading.Men and women were now sobbing uncontrollably.Finally,the man's mother,supported between two women,addressed her son in his coffin.At one point,the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up.We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket.Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap.At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion.
In the UK,families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral.Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair.It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment,which is what many of us do in the West.
Afterwards,a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained (克制) by Chinese standards.In some rural areas,she said,people used to be paid to mourn noisily.This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens.But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank,in Afghanistan,Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world.Chinese grief is no different.I realized that it's the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world.
It was our newspaper's production day.We were bussed back to the office to resume work.No more deadlines for our former colleague,but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print.The boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work.We relaxed,smiled,joked.There was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague.Enough sorrow had been shed already.We needed a break.

A.cold-blooded   B.warm-hearted   C.self-controlled   D.light-hearted
42.At the funeral,D.

8.A few months ago as I wandered through my parents'house,the same house I grew up in,I had a sudden,scary realization.When my parents bought the house,in 1982,they were only two years older than I am now.I tried to imagine myself in two years,ready to settle down and buy the house I'd still be living in almost 30years later.
It seemed ridiculous.On a practical level,there's no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon.More importantly,I wouldn't want to.I'm not sure where I'll be living in two years,or what kind of job I'll have.And I don't think I'll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents.When our parents were our age,they'd gotten their education,chosen a career,and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I-"Generation Y"-still aren't sure what we want to do with our lives.Whatever we end up doing,we want to make sure we're happy doing it.We'd rather take risks first,try out different jobs,and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place.We'd rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation"arrogant","impatient",and"overprotected".Some of these complaints have a point.As children we were encouraged to succeed in school,but also to have fun.We grew up in a world full of technological innovation:cell phones,the Internet,instant messaging,and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top,on the same track,often for the same company.That doesn't apply to my generation.
Because of that,it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible,stable adulthood.But that's not necessarily a bad thing.In our desire to find satisfaction,we will work harder,strive for ways to keep life interesting,and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents'generation did.

18.Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs,but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling.Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one's own money,time,talent,etc.sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.
Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city,village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh.During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa.After his speech a poor old lady got up.She was gone with age,her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags.The volunteers tried to stop her,but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.
"I must see him,"she insisted.She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet.Then from the folds of her sari(卷布),she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet.Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully.The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj.He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.
"I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,"Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly,"yet you won't trust me with a copper coin.""This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands,"Mahatma Gandhi said."If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two,it doesn't mean much.""But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed.She gave me all she had.That was very generous of her.What a great sacrifice she made.That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees."

81.What does generosity really mean according to the passage?(No more than 14 words)It means willingness and liberty in giving away things without any personal gain.
82.What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for?(No more than 12 words)He made a speech for collecting funds for Charkha Sangh.
83.Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi?(No more than 10 words)Because he wanted to give him the copper coin.
84.Why did Gandhi refuse to give the copper coin to Jamnalal Bajaj?(No more than 10 words)Because Gandhi thought it was valuable..
5.Here's a hotel worth writing home about:a company in Poland plans to build tourist accommodation under the sea.The structure can be dragged to a suitable location and placed on supports on the sea bed.
The‘Water Discus'will be made up of an underwater disc containing 22bedrooms with sea views,connected by lift and stairs to a disc above the surface containing other hotel facilities.
Project manager Robert Bursiewicz says:"Nowadays it's possible to build submarilles (潜水艇)which go deeper than 500m below the sea surface,so building an underwater hotel is not a problem."
In fact,they don't plan to have the hotel very deep.Water acts like a filter(过滤器)for sunlight,and below l5m most colours,apart from blue,are washed out.And we all want to see colourful marine life,don't we?
But this isn't the first hotel to offer underwater views from the bedrooms.The two-bedroom Jules'Undersea Lodge,off the coast of Florida,has been taking in guests 10m beneath the surface since 1986.
The company that operates the hotel also runs a diving course for beginners to help get guests down and into the hotel.It is accessible only through an opening at the bottom.
And you'll find all the usual facilities in the room,according to Teresa McKirma,Jules's chief financial officer.It has a television,air conditioning and wi-fi.But for the staft,simple things like cleaning and making beds can be challenging,since the lodge is in sea water.
‘‘It actually takes quite a lot of work to get anything down there,"she says."We have to put everything in waterproof boxes and attach weights to them to counter their buoymacy(浮力)."
The hotel has suitably sized waterproof boxes so that pizzas can be delivered by divers to guests wllo order them for their evening meal.And after a meal,if you can't sleep because of the excitement of the experience,you don't have to count sheep.You'll fall asleep quicker if you count fish.

41.The new hotel willA.
A.have movable structure           B.contain three discs
C.be built 500m beneath the surface   D.come into use soon
42.Why won't they plan to have the hotel very deep in the water?C
A.They have financial problems.
B.They lack advanted technology.
C.Most colours are washed out below 15m.
D.They refuse to enjoy colorful life.
43.Which of the following is true of Jules'Undersea Lodge?C
A.It is built l5m beneath the sea.      B.It has the history of 30years.
C.It offers a diving course to beginners.D.It can be accessible by stairs.
44.According to Teresa McKinna,B.
A.the built hotel is badly equipped
B.the staff's work is difficult to finish
C.it's easy to get things down there
D.entertainment is impossible in the hotel
45.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?D
A.Passengers can't enjoy their meals.
B.Passengers will feel fed up with the views.
C.Passengers have no choice but to count fish.
D.Passengers may get excited about the experience.
2.When teenagers begin looking for new survey sites,they go in the wrong direction.Because of this,95% of you will end/up joining some of the lowest paying places you could imagine.A simple fix (解决方法)for this is to change how you"look"for surveys.
 The-web will never lack teenagers survey sites.New ones are appearing rapidly,which is also the problem.So many of them are flying onto the web and about all of them are paying very low amounts for their surveys.The problem is that most people can't find the better paying ones that open up because they still try to use a search engine to locate the best places.
 All you get now are teenagers survey sites that might be flashy,but have very low payments.The quick fix is to use the power of large forums.It's your instant and total source of honest knowledge about surveys.That's right.I said"honest",which is really hard to find when it comes to surveys.Big forums have tons of it,though,because they hate spam (垃圾由P 件)and take all of it out of their topics.
 They also clear up the false or misleading information that people leave.
 That,s the huge reason why they work so well.Besides this,the archive (档案) section of a large forum is full of topics about surveys.You can rank all of them up,which is exactly what you need to do.You will see which are the teenagers survey sites other boys and girls are.making the most cash with and where they are not.You get a very nice list of top dollar places this way.
 Adam Woodham is an expert on Paid Surveys and runs the resource site Free Survey List,which features a top 5 list of the free teenagers survey sites he has made the most amount of money on,along with a review of each.
64.The writer believes that lowest paying survey sites are.C

65.It's hard for teenagers to find better paying survey sites because.D
 A.teenagers couldn't afford to use them
 B.there afe few better paying survey sites
 C.better paying survey sites are always out of work
 D.teenagers often want to find them by the search engine
66.According to the passage,large forums can help teenagers.B
 A.make proper surveys by themselves
 B.find more information about surveys
 C.speak openly and exchange ideas freely
 D.know the importance of being honest in studying
67.The passage mainly tells us.C

3.My name is Annie Wagnall.When I was eleven,I learned from my mom that many kids have to leave their homes without any of their own belongings.Can you imagine not even having your own toothbrush,books or toys?I think all kids deserve to have the things they need,so I came up with the idea to create"Care Bags"and fill them with essential items to make the kids live better during difficult times.

I really love kids,so that's what I like to spend my time on.Perhaps you love art,or reading,or sports.Whatever your passion is,find something you care about,take action,and then volunteering will be fun.I encourage you to use your time,talents and your voice to make the world a better place.You'll be so glad of what you did!
