11．People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places．This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air．Air pollution is caused by many different things．A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes （烟雾） from cars．Statistics show that 93percent of all auto trips are within cities．Another major source of dirty is the burning of coal and oil for energy．This energy is needed to make electricity．Of course，much more electricity is used in the city than in the countryside．
On the average，we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before．The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution．Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities．The fumes from iron，steel，chemical，and petroleum （石油） production add particles （微粒） to the air．
The effects of air pollution range from loss of clear vision，mild headaches to death．Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel，fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode （腐蚀）．In some larger cities，these fumes endanger the life of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early deaths．

28．The key point of the passage is thatB．
A．the cause of air pollution is people
B．the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in cities
C．the effects of air pollution range from headaches to deaths
D．air pollution is caused by dirty air
29．What is the purpose of this passage？A．
A．To persuade people to stop polluting the air．
B．To tell the causes of air pollution．
C．To tell why cities have larger populations．
D．To describe why cities are bad places to live．
30．Why is air pollution heavier in the city than in the countryside？D．
A．Because there are more people in cities．
B．Because the air in the city is dirty．
C．Because there are more cars in the city．
D．Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country．
31．In larger cities，the fumes from coal and oil may result inC．
A．heart disease
B．serious headache
C．lung disease
D．loss of clear vision．
20．Allen goes everywhere with Brigitta Anderson，a 54year-old secretary．He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her．"Most people don't mind Allen，"says Brigitta，who thinks  he  is wonderful．"He is my fourth child，"she says．She may think of him and treat him that way，buying him delicious food，paying his health bills and his taxes，but in fact Allen is only a dog．
Brigitta and Allen live in Sweden，a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to the rules laid down by the government，which also provides a high level of care for its people．Yet，this level of care costs a lot of money．
People in Sweden pay taxes （税） on everything，so they aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means some more taxes．Some people are paying as much as 500Sweden kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dogs．Money from dog taxes is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill．However，such a treatment is expensive，so dog owners often decide to pay health insurance （保险） and some even buy life insurance for their dogs．
In Sweden，dog owners must pay for any damage their dogs do．A Swedish kennel （养狗场） club official explains what this means：if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car，you，as the owner，have to pay for any damage done to the car，even if your dog has been killed in the accident．

21．What is the passage about？B
A．Owning dogs is not allowed in Sweden．
B．Owning dogs costs a lot more in Sweden．
C．You are required to pay life insurance for your dog by law if you own one in Sweden．
D．Allen is a good dog．
22．The money paid as dog taxes is used toC．
A．keep a high level of care for people  
B．pay for any damage done by dogs
C．provide medical care for dogs  
D．buy insurance for dog owners
23．From the text it can be inferred that in SwedenA．
A．people care much about dogs
B．dogs are not allowed to go out without their owners
C．many car accidents are caused by dogs
D．dogs are not welcome in public places
24．If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed，who should pay for the damage done to the car？B
A．The owner of the car．        B．The owner of the dog．
C．The insurance company．       D．The government．
25．What does the underlined word"he"in the first paragraph refer to？D
A．Brigitta．           B．Secretary．
C．Anderson．           D．Allen．
17．When you consider what subject to study in college，chances are （48）that you and your parents will think what you can make out of it （49）after graduation．You will likely ask the question："Can I find a well-paid job or find simply a job with a degree in this in the future？"
This consideration also influences students when they come to choose （50）between science and humanities（人文学科） at college．People generally believe that the humanities，（51）which include literature，history，cultural studies and philosophy，do not prepare students for a specific profession．Science subjects，（52）however，are considered professional courses that produce scientists，engineers and economists．
"I've decided to take finance as （53）my college major．My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business，"said Huachen Yueru，17，（54）a science student at Wuxi No.1Senior High School．
Even （55）those/students who choose a liberal arts college often pick the humanities that they think will best help them find a job later．
4．This month，my 7-year-old daughter invited her friend to sleep over．Her mom，who had told me before she did not allow sleepovers，explained that she did not think the kids were ready for a sleepover until the age of 10．I then started to wonder whether there actually was a"right"age for a sleepover．
   I remember the first real sleepover I ever had．It happened when I was about 13 and a friend of mine invited me to sleep at her house．Luckily for me，her parents were not strangers．
   I think I cried for 2 months straight before being allowed my first sleepover．My parents were not completely heartless，though．I was actually sick at the time and had to take medication and they were very concerned about that，but I still did not like them saying"no"．
   I remember my excitement the day before I finally got my sleepover．I could not sleep that night from the excitement．When I got there，my friend's house looked so beautiful and her parents were so nice and welcoming．
   Unfortunately though，the number of sleepovers I had throughout my childhood can be counted on two hands．And after every one of them，I realized exactly how much I was missing．It was only as an adult，when I was studying education，that I actually learned about the importance of sleepovers in kids'development no matter how old they are．
   A sleepover is one of those things every child needs experience on their own．It can do them a lot of good．
25．The friend of the author's daughterB．
A．is too sick to sleep over     
B．is less than ten years old
C．never listens to her mother  
D．has grown tired of sleepover
26．How was the author's first sleepover？D
A．It was really boring．
B．She can't remember it．
C．It was a painful experience     
D．She thinks it was enjoyable．
27．The author writes the text mainly toC．
A．explain what kids'development is  
B．discuss how strict parents should be
C．encourage children to have sleepovers
D．ask parents to keep an eye on their children．
14．Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang，Liaoning Province，reportedly blocked （阻碍） streets with their cars on Sunday in protest （抗议） against unlicensed （无执照的） cars using taxi-hiring apps （打车软件） and apps-based car rental （出租） companies providing passenger services，including high-end （高端的） cars．Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal （退出） of the fuel subsidy （燃油补贴） by the authority （管理部门），their main complaint was to make the authority aware of the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car service companies．
It is not yet clear how Shenyang will deal with the problem and whether it will declare （宣布） the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache，a taxi-hiring app provider backed （支持） by Tencent Holdings （腾讯控股），and Kuaidi Dache illegal．But Shanghai has set a rule to ban Didi Zhuanche，or car services offered by Didi Dache from December on．
On Wednesday，news came that Beijing will take measures to stop the illegal"taxi business"of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps，following the footsteps of Shanghai and Nanjing．
Such acts will cause a setback （挫折） to the car-hiring companies and investors．Just last month，Didi Dache got $700million fund （基金） from global investors，including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings，Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent．Besides，the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finish its latest round of funding after getting 800million from global investors．
Uncertain regulatory （监管），however，could affect the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services，which have become popular in most of China's big cities．To be fair，these companies'business model is anything but bad．For example，Didi Zhuanche works side by side with car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for business people through the Internet and mobile phone apps．
Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services．Therefore，it is hard to define （下定义） it as illegal and ban it．
32．Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their cars？A
A．Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority．
B．Because they wanted the authority to continue the fuel subsidy．
C．Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps．
D．Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars．
33．The author's attitude to banning internet car-hiring service isC．
A．positive             
B．neutral             
C．negative              
D．unclear
34．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．Shenyang has already forbidden apps-based car rental companies
B．Shanghai won't ban Didi Zhuanche
C．it is quite easy to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal
D．some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies
35．Where can the passage probably appear？C
A．In a textbook．
B．In a travel guidebook．
C．In a newspaper．
D．In a poster on the wall．
1．Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino．The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world．Scientists still do not completely understand it．Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world．
One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York，Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel．A scientist of Zimbabwe（津巴布韦），Roger Buckland worked with them．They have found that when El Nino appears，Zimbabwe has little or no rain．This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor．The last El Nino was in 1991to 1993．That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain．
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature．Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does．They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa，and could prevent many people from starving．
33．El Nino is known asB．
A．the changing of the weather in southern Africa
B．the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean
C．the weather which brings drought（旱灾）to Africa
D．the weather phenomenon that brings heavy rains to Africa

A．they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought
B．they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain
C．they can do some research work in this field．
D．they can put all this information into their computers．
35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears．
B．Three scientists from the USA work on this subject．
C．Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger．
D．El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe's poor crops．
18．You should tell your fiiend that you are concernedabout him．
19．A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions（情感）．The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard，such as Japan，focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions．Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed，such as the United States，the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion．
"These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized，"said University of Alberta researcher Dr．Takahiko Masuda．"A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression．"
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons（情感符号），which are used to convey a writer's emotions over email and text messaging．The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn，while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth．In the United States the emoticons：） and：-） show a happy face，whereas the emoticons：（or：-（ show a sad face．However，Japanese tend to use the symbol （‘‘） to indicate a happy face，and （；_； ）to indicate a sad face．
"We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions．The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion，as eyes tend to be quite subtle（微妙的），"said Masuda．"In the United States，where open emotion is quite common，it makes sense to focus on the mouth，which is the most expressive feature on a person's face．"

51．The text mainly tells us thatB．
A．cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B．culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions
C．different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D．people from different cultures express emotions differently
52．Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face？C
A．（；_；）  B．：-（      C．：-）     D．（‘‘）
53．If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false，he will probablyD．
A．read the whole face       B．focus on the mouth
C．judge by the voice        D．look into the eyes
54．People used to believe thatD．
A．some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized
B．people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways
C．people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions
D．people all over the world understood basic emotions almost in the same way．
