11．A new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives in northern China．Researchers estimate that the half-billion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5 years less than their southern counterparts because they breathed dirtier air．
China itself made the comparison possible：for decades，a now-discontinued government policy provided free coal for heating，but only in the colder north．Researchers found significant differences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions．
While previous studies have found that pollution affects human health，"the deeper and
ultimately more important question is the impact on life expectancy，"said one of the researchers，Michael Greenstone，a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of一Technology．
"This study provides a unique setting to answer the life expectancy question because the
（heating） policy dramatically changes pollution concentrations（含量），Greenstone said in an email．"Further，due to the low rates of migration in China in this period，we can know people's exposure over long time periods，"he said．
The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and offices to cities north of the Huai Riv饥which divides China into north and south．It was in effect for much of the 1950-198，0 period of central planning，and，though discontinued after 1980，it has left a legacy（遗留Pl in the north of heavy coal burning，which releases particulate pollutants into the air that can harm human health．Researchers found no other government policies that treated China's north differently from the south．
The researchers collected data for 90cities，from 1981to 2000，on the annual daily average
concentration of total suspended（悬浮的）particulates．In China，those are considered to be particulates that are 100micrometers or less in diameter，sent out from sources including power stations，construction sites and vehicles．Among them，PM2.5is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs．
The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies using death data from 1991-2000．They found that in the north，the concentration of particulates was 184micrograms per cubic meter一or 55percent higher than in the south，and life expectancies were 5.5years lower on average across all age ranges．

62．The main idea of this passage is thatA．
A．research in China finds air pollution shortened life expectancy
B．the government provided free coal for heating in North China
C．coal burning causes bad air quality across China
D．a new study finds different particulates in South China
63．According to Greenstone，Cgreatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations in North China．
A．power stations
B．construction sites
C．the free heating policy
D．gases from vehicles
64．It is implied in the passage thatB•
A．coal is no longer used for heating in North China
B．air quality was comparatively better in South China
C．southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980s
D．people preferred to live in South China after 1980
65．The underlined word"particulates"most probably meansC．
A．dirty clouds
B．particular smoke
C．harmful dust
D．dangerous bacteria．

6．Were you the first or the last child in your family？Or were you a middle or an only child？Some people think （61）itmatters where you were born in your family．But there are different ideas about what birth order means．Some people say that oldest children，（62）whoare smart and strong-willed，are very likely（63）to succeed（succeed）．The reason（64）forthis is simple．Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention．An only child will succeed for（65）thesame reason．
What happens to the（66）otherchildren in the family？Middle children don't get so much attention，so they don't feel that important．If a family has many children，the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd．The youngest child，（67）however，often gets special treatment．Often this child grows up to be funny．But a recent study saw things quite（68）differently（difference）．The study found that first children believed in family rules．They didn't take many chances in（69）theirlives．They usually（70）followed（follow） orders．Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family．They took chances and they often did better in life．

through America and shows what direction it flows in．（　　）

14．Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired？There is no one answer that applies to every individual．But many people fail to note the difference between fatigue，physical tiredness and sleepiness，the inability to stay awake．It's possible to feel"tired"physically and still be unable to fall asleep，because while your body may be exhausted，you don't feel sleepy．To fall asleep，you need enough time to relax，even if you feel fatigued．It's not so easy to simply"turn off"．According to Carl E．Hunt，director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda，Maryland，most people do not allow themselves relaxed．
Lack of sleep complicates matters even more．Experts say adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night to function properly．When you get less sleep than that on consecutive （连续） nights，you begin to be burdened by"sleep debt"．As sleep debt increases （and functionality decreases），your body experiences a stress response and begins to release adrenaline （肾上腺素）．Now a bad cycle has been created：You experience the feeling of being more and more tired，but your body is increasingly stimulated．"Power sleeping"for more hours on weekends is only a temporary solution．"There is no substitute for getting a good night's sleep on a regular basis，"says Hunt．
Most of us，however，don't get the sleep we need．According to the 2002 National Sleep Foundation，Americans sleep an average of 6.9 hours per night during the week，and 58 percent of adults experience sleeplessness a few nights a week or more．

33．The writer intends to tell usD．
A．Americans don't get enough sleep
B．what benefits we can get from enough sleep
C．lack of sleep has a bad effect on our body
D．why it's difficult for overtired people to fall asleep
34．Which of the following is NOT caused by lack of sleep？C
A．Power sleeping．
B．Sleep debt．
C．Lack of adrenaline．
D．Function badly．
35．From the passage we can draw a conclusion that lack of sleepD．
A．is so common that it isn't worth paying attention to
B．doesn't matter for it can be solved by"Power sleeping
C．can make it easy to fall asleep when one is overtired
D．may make it difficult to fall asleep when one is overtired．

1．The shocking collapse of one of the West Coast's biggest wild salmon runs has prompted even cash-trapped fishermen to call for an unprecedented （空前的） shutdown of salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon．
The Sacramento River salmon run is usually one of the most productive on the Pacific Coast，providing the bulk of the salmon caught by sport and commercial trollers off California and Oregon．
But only about 90，000adult salmon returned to the Central Valley last fall--the second lowest number on record and well below the number needed to maintain a healthy fishery．That number is projected to fall to a record low of58.000this year．
The council，which regulates Pacific Coast fisheries，will choose between three management options：a total ban on salmon fishing off the coast of California and Oregon；extremely limited fishing in select areas；or catch-and-release fishing for scientific research．
For consumers，it will be hard to find any Chinook，also known as king salmon．which are prized by trollers，seafood critics and upscale restaurants．There should still be abundant supplies of farm-raised salmon．but prices could be higher．
Biologists and others are trying to figure out what caused the salmon collapse so they can make sure California's Chinook populations rebound．
There are many potential factors，because wild salmon are born in streams and rivers，migrate to the ocean when they're juveniles and spend two to four years there before returning to spawn（产卵）in the areas where they were born． In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．
The council has asked state and federal scientists to research possible causes，including water diversions，habitat destruction，dam operations，agricultural pollution，and ocean conditions．Many scientists point out that unusual weather patterns disrupted the marine food chain along the Pacific Coast in 2005，when thousands of seabirds washed up dead or starving because they couldn't find enough to eat．
Researchers believe those poor ocean conditions also devastated the juvenile salmon that would have returned to the Central Valley last year．Young Chinook couldn't find the tiny shrimp and fish they depend onto survive．

36．The underlined word"troller"in the 2nd paragraph meansA．
A．fisherman B．merchant C．seafood dealer D．organizer
37．Which of the following statements is true about the passage？A
A．Last fall，there was the second lowest number of grown salmon returning on record．
B．The salmon migrates to the ocean when they grow up．
C．The farm-raised salmon is not as delicious and nutrients as the wild salmon．
D．Salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon is strictly forbidden．
38．The underlined sentence"In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．"in Para 7indicates thatC．
A．a11the salmon with their young are able to come back to their birthplace．
B．Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay are off the coast of California．
C the salmon has to be strong enough to survive the rapid flowing waters．
D．the salmon has to swim across the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay once in their life．
39．The possible causes of the salmon decrease mentioned do NOT includeC．
A．abnormal weather patterns broke me marine food chain along the Pacific Coast
B．bad ocean condition prevented the salmon from returning to their birthplace
C．many salmons are eaten in the ocean before they are capable of returning
D．the dam operation may change the salmons'living environment in the river
40．The passage is mainly about--．B
A．the agricultural pollution soils the coast，
B．the declining number of salmon could bring fishing ban
C．the disrupted food chain in the Pacific Coast
D．the fishermen could make little profit of salmon．

18．Tell me _______how it came about that you were 20minutes late for class．You needn't go into details．（　　）

19．Handshaking，the most popular way of showing friendliness，is often seen in cities and towns all over the world．It is，in fact，（25）aEuropean custom，but nobody knows exactly when this practice started．It is said that long，long ago in Europe when people met，they showed their （26）unarmed（unarm） hands to each other as a sign of goodwill．As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly，people in cities began to clap each other's hands （27）to make（make） a deal or to reach an agreement．This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other．Now"Let's shake hands on it"sometimes （28）means（mean） agreement reached．
Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet？No，sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite．It is really very impolite to give your hand when the meeting does not mean （29）anythingto him or her in some cases，and when the other person，especially when it is a woman，shows little interest in shaking hands with you．（30）Even if，for politeness，he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand，just touch it slightly．There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese，which sometimes brings about unnecessary troubles，（31）thatwesterners are usually open and straightforward，while the Chinese are rather reserved in manner．But，as a matter of fact，some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today．So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only （32）whenhe shows interest in further relations with you．
