3．Perfume （香水） has been in existence for a long time．These days，certain perfumes are considered comparable to great works of art．Here are a few of the most famous perfumes in history．
Chanel No.5
This perfume is probably the best-selling scent （气味） in the history of fragrance （香水）．Created by Ernst Beaux for Coco Chanel in 1921，it has been described as"the world's most legendary fragrance"，and remains the company's most famous perfume．
Shalimar
Jacques Guerlain created this vanilla fragrance in 1925．The perfume takes its name from the Garden of Shalimar，which was built by Emperor Shah Jehan for one of his wives．It was an immediate hit in 1925and is still extremely popular today．
Joy
Joy is famous for having been the most expensive perfume in the world at one point．It was created in 1930by Henri Alméras for Jean Patou to lift the bad mood that had swept over the world after the 1929stock market crash．
L'Air duTemps
Francis Farbon created Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps in 1948．The fragrance is known for its spicy，carnation and gardenia scents as well as its beautiful crystal bottle （designed by Lalique）．
Eternity
Calvin Klein's second perfume was created by Sophia Grojsman in 1988．Known for its light，flowery scent，the perfume was listed in the Fragrance Hall of Fame in 2003．It is recommended for daytime wear．
Angel
This wildly popular perfume was created in 1992by Olivier Cresp for Thierry Mugler．The perfume was an instant success．The perfume has often been described as"delicious"，owing to its chocolaty scent．The perfume comes in beautiful star-shaped bottles．Angel perfume also comes in several bath and body products．

14．In the near future，in outer space，Chinese scientists will seek knowledge on China's future space station．This is not a sci-fi movie，but a vision of a"space odyssey"（长期探索） for China's future space exploration．
●Space station under construction
By the year 2020，the International Space Station is expected to be retired； while，in the same year，China's space station will be completed．
Zhang Bonan，chief designer of the program，said that the station would be a national，and even international，space lab．
"Experiments there will be different and flexible，"he said，"International cooperation will be encouraged and the door of the station will be open for any experiments that fit the requirements．"
●New flight system
A cargo transportation system that supplies goods and propellants （推进剂） is key to China building its own space station．
China is going to launch a cargo ship named"Tianzhou"around 2016to serve the Tiangong-2space laboratory．The cargo ship will also carry goods back and forth to the future space station．
●From earth to moon
While the Jade Rabbit moon rover （玉兔号月球车） sleeps on the moon，other dreams are taking wing （起飞）．
The 2017launch of lunar probe Chang'e-5is under preparation．It is expected to bring moonrock samples back to earth．
Exploration of the whole universe
The life of earth is limited compared with that of the whole universe，Zhang said．
"We know so little about the Milky Way galaxy （银河系），and the whole universe is even more vast．There's too much for us to know，"he said，adding that the"unknown"is the biggest drive for humans to explore．
To probe the whole universe，China will first explore Mars by sending a probe to circle the planet and land．
32．According to the designer，China's future space station will work asC．

11．The practice of exchanging foreign currency can vary by country．In one country，you may have to change your money at the airport，and in other countries you may need to buy your foreign currency in advance．Here are some places you can exchange foreign currency for U．S．currency．
Your Bank
In many cases you can purchase U．S．currency for your trip from a bank．Banks tend to have higher exchange rates than some currency exchange businesses．Before you purchase currency from a bank，check the currency change rates for that day so you can compare the rate the bank is giving and determine if it's a good offer．There is a fee involved in withdrawing foreign currency from your bank．
The Airport
Currency exchange businesses can be found at most international airports，so you can purchase U．S．currency either before you board your flight or at the U．S．airport on arrival．Note that U．S．airports typically have fewer currency exchange counters than travelers are accustomed to seeing in other parts of the world．If the airport you are flying into is not in a major U．S．city，consider using the exchange service in your departure airport to be on the safe side．If you are in an airport where several exchange companies operate，be sure to shop around for the best rate and lowest exchange fee．

56．The practice of exchanging foreign currencyC．
A．changes with time of the year
B．depends on exchange rates of the day
C．is likely to differ from country to country
D．is exactly the same all over the world
57．Before purchasing foreign currency from a bank，you are advised toD．
A．deposit some money with the bank
B．examine the services of the bank
C．pay the exchange fee in advance
D．compare the exchange rates
58．In which case are you advised to consider using the exchange service in your departure airport？D
A．If you are flying with a foreign airline．
B．If the airport is far from the city center．
C．If the airport you are flying into is not safe．
D．If you are not flying into a major US city．
59．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．currency exchange
B．exchange fees
C．American airports
D．U．S．currency．
18．（第一、二层次学校的学生做此题）
When it comes to friends，I desire those who will share my happiness，who have wings of their own and who will fly with me．I seek friends whose qualities have a good influent on me and train me up for love．It is for these people that I reserve the good old days，too good not to share．
When I was in the eighth grade，I had a friend．We were shy and"too serious"about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors．We said little at school，but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper，and one of us would say："Let's start with a train whistle （鸣笛） today．"We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle．Then we would read them aloud．At the end of that school year，we were too busy and poems stopped．
When I lived for a time in London，I had a friend，who was in sadness and so was I．But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not visit much of this great city because we had felt bad at the time．We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things．We walked until our sadness disappeared and then we said goodbye． We gave London to each other．
For almost four years I have had good friends whose imagination lightens mine．We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves．Each of us appears，sometimes in a funny way，in the other's dreams．She and I agree that，at certain times，we seem to be parts of the same mind．In my most interesting moments，I often think："Yes，I must tell…．"We have never met．
It is such comforting friends I wish to make．One bright hour with me is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend．

68．In the eighth grade，before getting too busy the authorD．
A．became serious about her study              B．went to her friend's house regularly
C．learned from her classmates at school       D．shared poems and stories with her friend
69．In paragraph3，"We gave London to each other"probably meansA．

B．we were unwilling to live London
C．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

15．In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some hold an optimistic attitude．They value it highly，believing that it is a natural outcome of social progress and prosperity（繁荣）and that anyone who wants to be outstanding has to keep the pace．Others think otherwise．They say that competition is bad； that it sets one person against another； that the unfriendly relationship between people because of competition．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit（追求）of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others have an opposite opinion．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．They have no choice．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse："I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try"．What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear is overcome can discover a new meaning in competition．
71．What does this passage mainly talk about？B
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experience in competition．
72．Why do some people favor competition according to the passage？A
A．It pushes society forward
B．It builds up a sense of duty．
C．It improves personal abilities
D．It encourages individual efforts．
73．The underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3 meansC．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly
C．those who are against competition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
74．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a"desire to fail"？A
A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others．
B．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
75．Which point of view may the author agree to？D

12．Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior．
    One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards．Researchers at Harvard University in the United States did the study．They had about 200 college students play a game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma．The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group．
The students played in groups of four．Each player could win points for the group，so they would all gain equally．But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players，at a cost to the punisher．
Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation．The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least．
And the more a group punished itself，the lower its earnings．The group with the most punishment earned 25% less than the group with the least punishment．
The other study involved children．Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups．More than 800 children were ages two to four the first time they were tested．More than 700 children were ages five to nine．
The two groups were retested four years later，and the study compared the results with the first test．Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not．
The study says the IQs-or intelligence quotients-of the younger children who were not spanked（掴）were five points higher than those who were．In the older group，the difference was almost three points．
Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire has written extensively about physical punishment of children．He says the more they are spanked，the slower their mental development．He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common．
67．Which of the following is True about the game mentioned in the first paragraph？C
A．Prisoners are more interested in the first game than the university students．
B．The game is very popular with the students in Harvard University in the United States．
C．The game is played to test whether people are more cooperative on the basis of rewards．
D．The game is played in order to encourage the students to cooperate．
68．The underlined part in the third paragraph means the punisher will have toB．
A．lose some of his money              
B．lose some of the points
C．lose all the points of the group         
D．gain the points of the punished
69．What does the result of the first experiment imply？A
A．Rewards encourage better cooperation than punishments．
B．Individual interests are always a challenge to the group．
C．Four members will work better in one group．
D．The group that punished most gained nothing eventually．
70．What do we know about the second experiment in the passage？A
A．The whole experiment，including two tests，lasted four years．
B．Physical punishment was employed only in the younger group．
C．Children in both groups have acquired same IQ development．
D．No physical punishment was used in the younger group．
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．
