15．Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain．The Stonehenge we see today is the final stage that was completed about 3，500 years ago．
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork，consisting of a ditch（沟），bank and the Aubrey holes，all probably built around 3，100BC．The holes themselves were not for the purpose of graves，but as a part of religious ceremony．
The second stage of Stonehenge started around 2，150BC．About 82 bluestones，some weighing 4tons each，is thought to have been carried by water along the south coast of Wales and up the rivers Avon and Frome，before being dragged overland again to near Warminster，about 6miles away．The final stage of the journey was mainly by water，down the river Wylye to Salisbury，then the Salisbury Avon to west Amesbury．These stones were set up in the center to form an incomplete double circle．
The third stage of Stonehenge，about 2，000BC，saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones，which were almost brought from Avebury，about 25 miles north of Stonehenge．
The final stage took place soon after 1，500BC when the bluestones were rearranged on the horseshoe and circle that we see today．

29．How long has Stonehenge existed？D
A．About 1，500years．
B．About 2，000years．
C．About 2，500years．
D．About 5，000years．
30．What was the probable use for the Aubrey holes？D
A．They were used as graves      
 B．They were used to attract tourists．
C．They were used to hide precious stones．
D．They were used for religious activities．
31．Which of the following places is nearest to Stonehenge？C

B．Salisbury．
C．Amesbury．
D．Avebury．
32．What does the text mainly talk about？B

5．Started in 1636，Harvard University is the oldest of the many colleges and universities in the United States，Yale，Princeton，Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard．They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies（殖民地）into states．
In the early years，these schools were much the same．Only young men attended colleges．All the students studied the same subjects，and everyone learned Latin，Greek and Hebrew．Little was known about the science then，and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world．When the students graduated（left school），most of them became ministers Or teachers．
In 1682，Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors．Later lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school．  In 1825．Harvard began teaching modern languages，Such as French and German，as well as Latin and Greek．Soon it began teaching American history．Special colleges for women were started． New state universities．  began to teach such subjects as farming，engineering and business．Today，there are many different kinds of colleges and universities．Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with social fields of learning．  There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it a11．

6．Hoverboards（电动滑板）were among the most popular Christmas gifts of 2015．They may have also been most dangerous gifts of 2015．
A truehoverboard looks like a skateboard without wheels．To"hover"means to flat in the air without moving much in any direction．The popularity of hoverboards began in the 1980s，with the"Back to the Future"movies．Characters in the second and third films used hoverboards as transportation．
This year's popular hoverboards，however，do not actually hover．They have wheels．And？as it turns out，they are not easy to use．
Adults and children around the world suffered hoverboard-related injuries over the weekend．Many posted pictures of the damage on social media．Twitter user David Douglas posted a photo of both him and a young girl with the broken arms they suffered on Christmas Day．And another user Erin Rafferty uploaded a video of her mother falling off a hoverboard，with the caption，"Who let mom on the hoverboard？"
Falling is not the only risk with some hoverboards．They are also a fire risk．At one store in Texas，an employee tried to fix a hoverboard a customer brought in．The hoverboard then caught fire．
Studies suggest that some hoverboard brands have defective batteries or plugs．
Many major airlines worldwide have banned hoverboards because of the fire risk．But some passengers did not hear the news．Australian actor Russell Crowesaid on Monday about his disappointment that Virgin Australia Airlines did not permit his children to take their hoverboards on the plane．
Major retailers （零售商）are also taking steps to improve the safety of the hoverboards they sell．Amazon in the United States now only sells hoverboards from brands that have submitted safety standrd documents．The UK's Amazon no longer sells hoverboards．It has also advised customers who bought unsafe brands of hoverboards to throw them away．

12．What's the problem with this year's hoverboards？C
A．They don't havewheels．
B．They catch fire in the sun．
C．They are difficult to handle．

10．Arriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband，Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children．
During the first week of his stay，he went out one day to do some shopping．He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone．He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport．
He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city，thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one．
Late in the evening，the phone rang．It was a stranger．He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions．Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath．
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents．Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers．Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents．At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend．
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people．We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way．

20．It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears．I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom．I turn on the light and put on my glasses．The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully．Usually I go for a long run，but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity．Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes．My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement．As I near the end of the exercise，I feel extremely tired，but a smile is of my face．It's a smile because the DVD is over，but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit．
Some people enjoy shopping，smoking，food，work，or even chocolate．But I need exercise to get through each day．Some shake heads when they see me run through the town．Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake．They raise their eyebrows，surprised by my"no thank you，"or by my choice to have a salad．Over the years，I have learned it's okay to just say"no．"I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat．
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00a．m．？What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream？Commitment．A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety，increases self-confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape．This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right．It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out．

7．There are a lot of people who are overweight all over the world．What causes obesity？If you get the gene（基因），well，probably you are going to be a few more pounds heavier compared to the rest of your classmates or friends．（36）GObesity can not only make a person look heavy，and not in the usual sense of being handsome，but can also lead to serious health conditions and life-threatening diseases．
（37）CIndeed，junk food has been blamed for the prevalence（流行）of obesity．It is called junk food，because hamburger，pizza and the like contain high calories．If you eat a Big Mac （a super hamburger），an order of large fries，and a large Coke，you will need to walk non-stop for six hours to burn off the calories you have gained．And don't be fooled by soft drinks，which are high in sugar and are a major cause of obesity．
（38）FPopular sugary drinks，of course，include Coca Cola，Pepsi（百事） Cola，and many new brands that appear on the market every couple of days．
（39）BJust one 20-ounce （about 567g） bottle of soda can have 250calories，which are equal to more than 16teaspoons of added sugars．Even a lemon-flavored iced tea can have 210calories．
（40）ENext time，when you are ready to eat that huge Mac and to drink that two-liter bottle of Pepsi，probably it's a good idea to give it a second thought．

A．Obesity is more common in women than men．
B．Most people don't realize how easy it is to gain weight from drink sugar-sweetened beverages（饮料）
C．When we talk about obesity，the first thought that comes to mind is：junk food．
D．The unburnt calories will put weight on you．
E．Keeping healthy is our own responsibility．
F．Because of their high content of sugar，soft drinks are also called sugary drinks．
G．However，the most common cause of obesity is eating too much，especially too much junk food．

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world，in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.

The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.

It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.

A. products of the latest design flood the market

B. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry

C. everyday goods need to be replaced often
