14.We all have our wish lists,whether it is for the holiday season,a birthday or a get-together.The fact is that we are all human and we all desire nice things and fun things.One thing that should not be missed is putting Cuponk on your wish list so that you can have years of fun and entertainment.
For adults,they can start playing Cuponk with their kids,spending quality time together,which is good for close family ties.Adults can also enjoy Cuponk with their own friends,turning a dinner party into something memorable (难忘的).The game is made for everyone,regardless of age or gender (性别).
It comes with a special cup with a backboard funnel (漏斗),special balls and trick cards.There are different styles of cups to choose from,just to make it even more personal an experience.The players must pick a trick card when it is their turn.The card will tell them what to do and how many times they're allowed to try that particular trick.The tricks always involve getting the ball into the cup,which will light up and make some crazy sounds of victory afterwards.
The rules allow for everything in the home to be allowable.That means that you can bounce (反弹) the ball off the wall into the cup as creatively as possible,or you can also use tables,chairs,stairs,the ceiling and whatever else you have.What makes it even more special than most others is the fact that all ages can play together.So,a family with different age groups can enjoy a few games together,without any real concern for damages,as the balls are quite light.It's kind of like beer pong rules,but without the beer.
In a time with economic instability (不稳定),where consumers have chosen to stay at home to save a few dollars,it is a great way to do that without being bored.Playing games with friends or family members is a good way to laugh and pass the time pleasantly,rather than just sitting in front of a television or a computer wasting valuable time.No one will remember watching television,but everyone will remember those memorable moments playing fun games and spending good quality time with the people they love.

A.it is for the holiday season
B.it can help us pass time
C.it is better than a dinner party

4.Do you want to have a close friend?Do you know how to make a good friend?Now,let me tell you.Before you make friends,you have to decide who you want to be your friends.Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile.When you smile,people think you are friendly and easy to talk to.It may not be easy at first to smile,but remember most people will stay away from a  scared or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him.Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves.Who's their favorite singer,where do they live,what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation.Make sure you have something to add to the conversation,too.When someone asks you a question,do have an answer for them.There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends.Remember,everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

5.Can you believe your eyes?A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.
   Martin Doherty,a psychologist at the University of Stifling in Scotland,led the team of scientists.In this experiment,Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people,using pictures of some orange circles.The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people.The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10,and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.
   The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background.One of the circles was larger than the other,and these people were asked to identify the larger one.Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time.Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.
   Next,both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles,again of different sizes,were surrounded by gray circles.Here's where the trick lies in.In some of the pictures,the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles--making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle,which was the real larger one.And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles--so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.
   When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures,they weren't fooled-they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before.Older children and adults,on the other hand,did not do as well.Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one,and adults got it wrong most of the time.
   As children get older,Doherty said,their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context(背景).In other words,they will begin to process the whole picture at once:the tricky gray circles,as well as the orange circle in the middle.As a result,they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.
71.Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate.D
A.children's and adults'brains           
B.children's and adults'eye-sight

C.children at 4 got it right about 79%of the time with gray ones around
D.only adults over 1 8 got it right 95%of the time with gray ones around
73.According to the passage,we can know that.A
A.a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
B.an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C.a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
D.a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background

A.4               B.6               C.10              D.18
75.Why are younger children not fooled?D
A.Because older people are influenced by their experience.
B.Because they are smarter than older children and adults.
C.Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.
D.Because their brains can hardly notice related things together.
2.Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon?Many people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or,in summer,they may think it is the heat.However,the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern (模式).They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world,people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates,where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional,people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.
Many working people,unfortunately,have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps,employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance,however,here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time,try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
60.Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?C
A.They eat too much for lunch.
B.They sleep too little at night.

D.About 2:30 pm
62.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Just for a Rest                           
B.All for a Nap
C.A Special Sleep Pattern
D.Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.
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".
A.sure about what to do
B.fast to make a good decision
C.successful in answering questions
D.uncertain about how to express yourself
63.This text is most probably written forA.
A.English beginners   B.native English speakers
C.English teachers    D.language experts.
19.People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory,researchers say.
    A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.
    And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.
    The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university's campus.Those who took part were asked to recall small details,such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points-known as real world memory test.Smokers performed badly,remembering just 59 percent of tasks.But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
    Dr.Tom Heffernan,who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group,said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns.He said,"Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States,it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive(认知的)function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example."
"This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory.We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body,but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too.''
    The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory,while Dr.Heffernan and Dr.Terence O'Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking-toxins left on curtains and furniture.

    A.Smoking does harm to health.
    B.Smokers take a tour to the University's campus.
    C.Smoking can affect one's memory.
    D.Smokers are compared to non-smokers.

    B.Non-smokers could recall about half of them.
    C.Smokers could recall nothing at all.
    D.Those who gave up smoking did best.
3.According to Dr.Tom Heffernan,the findingsB.
    A.would be really a surprise to the public
    B.would contribute to fighting against smoking
    C.would be used in real world memory test
    D.would be nothing new to the researchers
4.What does the underlined word"impact''most probably mean?D
    A.order    B.impression    C.expression    D.effect
5.What will Dr.Heffernan and Dr Terence O'Neil do?A
    A.Investigate the effects of third-hand smoking.
    B.Do research on how smoking affects passive smokers.
    C.Find ways to persuade people to quit smoking.
    D.Study whether giving up smoking affects memory.

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.
