20．I love seeing Europeans line up in airports to applaud arriving refugees．But humanitarianism （人道主义） will not guide policy for long．We liberals need to argue from Europe's self-interest：our continent has the need，the space and the ability to accept people．
Many European countries are gradually turning into old people's homes．Germany，Italy，Spain and others have some of the lowest birth rates in human history．It is predicted that about one-third of their populations will be aged over 65in 2050．Germany needs to import at least 350，000people a year to keep its workforce stable．Suddenly，young ambitious workers are pouring into the country as if called by a genie （精灵） with a lamp．No wonder Angela Merkel，German Chancellor，has been more welcoming than David Cameron，British Prime Minister．But all over Europe，carers for old people are already in need．Norway found oil under the seabed but it would have been better off if it had discovered 50，000nurses there instead．
Many rightwingers think we have reached our limits．This feeling is widespread．And it's true that Western Europe is one of the most densely populated regions on earth．Indeed，density has long been Europe's unique selling point：with so many people of different nations closely packed together，we have always traded goods and exchanged ideas fast．That's why the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries happened here．
But we have plenty more room．Many European cities aren't dense enough．Now east Germany，north-western Spain and gorgeous mountain villages in Italy are losing people．Lots of cities have unused industrial land．
Humans inhabit a slice of the EU's territory．Only about 2.5per cent of the EU's land is used for housing，estimates the European Commission．By contrast，a whopping 43per cent was used for agriculture in 2009，it says．That's too much．We could turn more land into forest or into green landscapes where people can relax and play．Making that transition is feasible because we now use agricultural land inefficiently．
Migrants often spend years locked up together in serious government-funded"migrant centers"．However，the way to learn a new country's language，make friends and find work is to live with a local．This crisis has shown that lots of Europeans are willing to take refugees into their homes．After Iceland's government said it could take only 50Syrian refugees，many Icelanders came forward offering to take a far greater number into their own homes．People aren't just sitting around waiting for government to do something．
We need migrants，and we can accommodate them．If opponents just don't like foreigners，they should say so instead of pretending to be hardheaded pragmatists （实用主义者）．
61．Why is Angela Merkel willing to take in refugees according to the passage？D
A．Germany has already stepped into aged society．
B．Birth rates in Germany are the lowest in history．

63．It can be inferred thatC．
A．nurses are more badly needed than petrol in Europe
B．liberals always do something for the Europe's benefit
C．aging problem in Germany is the worst in Europe
D．Europeans have already made intelligent use of the land
64．What is the last paragraph but one mainly about？A
A．Migrants can privately be accommodated．
B．Migrants had better not live in migrant centers．

19．The Best Time to Visit SydneyIf you prefer the cold to heat，especially if seeking to escape the northern summer，the best time to visit Sydney could be in the Australian winter from June 1to August 31．
The Sydney winter isn't really harsh and the weather's generally pleasant．It's great for touring the city on foot and for bushwalking．And the ski slopes are not too far away．
Holiday time
You get the Queen's Birthday holiday weekend in June and the school holidays in July．Aside from within those periods，accommodation costs in the city will generally be lower．
Winter weather
Expect generally cool conditions．The average temperature should range from around 8°C （46°F） at night to 16°C （61°F） in the daytime in mid-winter．Expect from 80mm to 131mm of rainin a month，with the most rain in June tapering into August．
Winter accommodation
Outside of the holiday periods，Sydney accommodation will usually be available and should be relatively cheaper．
Winter activities
•The weather's fine for a walking tour of Sydney．Visit The Rocks，the Sydney Opera House，the Royal Botanic Gardens，Art Gallery of New South Wales，Australian Museum，Hyde Park，Chinatown，Darling Harbour．

18．Scientists have made sure that most of the overweight people who try to lose weight by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size．Fewer than 10percent of the 12million British people who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put on all weight again within a year． The study of 25，000people provides further evidence of the popularity of‘yo-yo dieting'where people on a diet get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining it．The scientists，from the Medical Research Council's National Survey of Health and Development，have concluded it is better to avoid getting fat at the beginning．They followed 5，362men and women from their birth in 1946and 20，000from birth in 1958，measuring their weight and blood pressure and judging their lifestyles．The researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since．
Dr Rebecca Hardy，the council's programme leader on body size，said："Once people become overweight，they continue upwards．They hardly ever go back down．They may lose some weight but very few get back to normal．The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight．For men weight goes up steadily through life．For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties．"
But the findings of the study do not mean dieting is pointless，as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure．In 2009，a quarter of adults and 14percent of children were obese（过度肥胖的），according to the Department of Health's latest Health Survey for England．It has been predicted that 60percent of us will be obese by 2050，leading to even more cases of diabetes，heart disease and cancer．Experts said we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it．Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends，making it even harder to lose weight．
60．According to Dr Rebecca Hardy，which of the following is TRUE？B
A．It is easier for men to lose weight than women．′
B．Never to become fat is the best way of keeping a good shape．
C．Once people lose weight，they never put on weight again．
D．The fact that fat people keep their weight upwards is unusual．
61．The author says"the study's findings do not mean dieting is pointless"becauseD．
A．the study lacks believable facts
B．obese people are confident in losing weight
C．dieting can never make a few people lose weight
D．dieting and sports help to keep people free from some diseases
62．From the last paragraph，we can learn thatC．
A．being overweight is a lasting problem through the human history
B．the idea that people lose weight with mechanisms is practical
C．decreasing calorie intake makes it even harder to lose weight
D．by 2050more and more people will have got unfit because of losing weight
63．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage？A
A．Fat people can't really keep the weight off．
B．Which is better：cutting calories or exercising？
C．A new study on people's health．
D．How to go on a healthy diet．

16．

Homonym：a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world，but a different meaning
Same spelling，different meaning
Imagine，then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way，but have completely different meanings．Welcome to the world of homonyms．Take，for example，the word‘fail'---it can be a kind of festival，and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game．
Don't take it literally
So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to？---You don't，except by the context．Obviously，if someone asks you to‘give them a hand'，they don't want you to remove what is at the end of your arm．
What's in a name？
Sometimes even the context doesn't help much---the result can be amusing．These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun：
I used to be a banker，but I lost interest．
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils？
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital．When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was，the nurse said：‘No change yet'．
More ambiguity
And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb：
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger．Then it hit me．
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation．
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat．
Double trouble
And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb，but have different meanings．Can you work this one out？
Time flies like an arrow．Fruit flies like a banana．
If you like these homonyms，you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!
Explanations of jokes in the text
I used to be banker，but I lost interest．（I became bored with the job/I lost money）
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils？（students/parts of his eyes）
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital．When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was，the nurse said：‘No change yet'．（no difference in the situation/no money）
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger．Then it hit me．（the ball hit me/I suddenly realized）
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation．（became known/fell out）
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat．（can't be better/difficult to mix with a fork）
Time flies like an arrow．（time goes quickly） Fruit flies like a banana．（insects enjoy eating fuit．）

56．Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true？D
A．They share the same spellings regardless of meanings．
B．We can't know their meanings without context．

15．These days we are exposed to ads wherever we go．They try to sell us products by using beautiful art，videos，images or slogans that are catchy．Below，you can find some of the most famous logos that you can see everywhere in your life．
Audi
This business logo is very popular and the company is a competitor of BMW．The four rings can be interpreted as many things，like four elements，or four nations，but the truth lies elsewhere．In the 1930s，there were four different car manufacturers in Germany and they were called Audi，DKW，Horch and Wanderer．They decided to get together and create one company：Audi．But they didn't use the logo right away．It took 30years to see the four rings for the first time．
BMW
BMW was founded in Germany in 1916．The business logo of the company is easily recognized by anyone．Nevertheless the true meaning is a bit controversial（有争议的）．According to one side of the story，it represents the propeller（螺旋桨）of an airplane，because BMW used to produce airplanes in Munich．The other story goes that the blue and white triangles（三角形）are taken from the Bavarian（巴伐利亚） flag，which is the place where they were made．It's your choice-you can pick up your favorite story!
Ferrari
The story behind this logo is very interesting．During World War I，an excellent pilot，Count Francesco Barraca，painted a horse，the logo of his spuadron（空军中队），on his airplane to bring him luck．But he died in the war．In order to remember him，his mother then convinced Enzo Ferrairi to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930s to bring him good luck．The logo has stayed the same ever since．The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Farrari，Modena，Italy．
25．When did people first see the Audi logo？D
A．In the 1930s
B．In the 1940s
C．In the 1950s
D．In the 1960s
