    C
    Sitting in a dark movie theater with your friends. and a tub of popcorn (H^) sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday night, and it could be, if you are willing to share your popcorn with the entire row of moviegoers around you.
    A review of movie-theater popcorn reveals an alarming amount of fat, salt and calories in even the smallest sizes. A large tub of popcorn at Regal Cinemas, for example, holds 20 cups of popcorn and has 1,200 calories, 980 milligrams of sodium (钠) and 60 grams of saturated (饱和的) fat. Adding just a tablespoon of butter adds 130 calories. And do not forget that it comes with free refills.
    Not so hungry? The medium size popcorn, even the small, at 11 cups, delivers 670 calories, 550 milligrams of sodium .and 24 grams of saturated fat. The findings may surprise those who believe it is a relatively healthy snack. In fact, plain air-popped popcorn is low in calories and free of saturated fat. Movie theater popcorn, however, is popped in oil, often coconut oil, which is 90 percent saturated fat. Add salt to it, and your once-healthy snack turns into a health offender.
    One way to make your popcorn healthier? Ask the theater to pop the corn without salt. The best way to make your movie snack healthier, however, would be to skip the popcorn.
    "You could share a tub of popcorn with 10 friends," Dr. Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, said. "Or, what a concept, watch the movie without eating anything."
    64. The review finds that movie theatre popcorn may contain all the following EXCEPT ______.
    A. butter           B. sodium                 C. saturated fat         D. pepper
    65. What does the author think of popcorn prepared in coconut oil?
    A. It is a healthy snack.                        B. It does harm to our health.               C. It looks like a perfect choice.                 D. It is very nutritious.
    66. Which kind of popcorn causes the least health concern?
    A. Movie theatre popcorn.                                 B. Popcorn sold at Regal Cinemas.          C. Large size popcorn.                                      D. Plain air-popped popcorn.
    67. What is Dr. Nestle's suggestion to moviegoers?
    A. Avoid eating popcorn.                                  B. Share popcorn with friends.              C. Not eating anything in the movie theatre.          D. Try eating other kind of food.

    There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
    ——Elmer G Letterman
    Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my  36  bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was  37 ．
    On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me．
    Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t  38  a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”．
    When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the  39  letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no  40 , my messages grew shorter and shorter.  41  each passing day, my  42  grew．I never received a reply from her．
    Mom said that I  43  try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her.  44  my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
    My first  45  was automatic．“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had  46 ．Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed,  47 , “Should I keep trying or．．．?”
    The way I looked at it was that: if I’m her best friend, she’d  48  a minute to push a few buttons on the phone, or type a short “hello” on the computer. To me, keeping in touch is part of being a friend and it is important. To her, it really didn’t seem to  49 ．
    After two years of  50 , I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big  51 ．She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her．I  52  her．I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her  53 ．
    I have realized true friends never really lose their special  54 ．Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.
    Now she and I write regularly—or at least she tries to,  55  she tries hard.
    What more could a friend ask for?

    B
    The worst danger is a house on fire when people are asleep. Always be ready to leave through a window into the garden by making sure you can open it if necessary. If you should be on holiday in a tall building or hotel, make sure you know where the fire escape(太平梯) is. When you can’t find any way out, try to find pieces of cloth and make a rope to get out of a window to safety. If you smell burning in your home, get out right away. If you can’t breathe properly because of smoke on your way out, crawl(爬) on your hands and knees because smoke rises and the air will be cleaner near the floor. Smoke is a killer and more people die from breathing it in than actually being burned.
    Fire in a cinema hall or public place often means people pushing to reach a door. Keep your head up with arms up in front of your chest. This protects your chest and gives you the best chance to breathe. Above all, don’t get frightened!

    Being the boss might mean more money and challenging work but it can also cause damage to physical and mental well-being, according to a Canadian study.
    For years studies have shown people in lower-status jobs generally have higher rates of heart disease and other illnesses and die earlier than those in higher-status positions while job authority has shown no relationship with workers’ health.
    But University of Toronto researchers, using data from 1,800 US workers, found the health of people in higher positions is affected by work as they are more likely to report conflicts with co-workers and say work disturbs their home life.
    However, the positive aspects of having a power position at work, such as higher status, more pay and greater independence, seemed to cancel out the negative aspects when it came to people’s physical and psychological health.
    These latest findings, reported in the journal Social Science & Medicine, suggest that the advantages and disadvantages authority positions basically cancel each other out, giving the general impression that job authority has no health effects.
    For the study, the researchers surveyed participants about various aspects of their work, life and well-being. Job authority was judged based on whether a person managed other employees and had power over hiring, firing and pay.
    Physical health complaints included problems like headaches, body aches, heartburn and tiredness. Psychological complaints included sleep problems, difficulty concentrating and feelings of sadness, worry and anxiety.
    “This isn’t to suggest that having authority is ‘bad’—in fact, we show it has benefits ... but it is important to identify the negative sides and deal with them.” researcher Scott Schieman said.  
    Schieman said conflicts with co-workers or involvement of work into home life may destroy at physical and mental well-being by creating stress.
    “These are key stressors that can tax individuals’ ability to function effectively,” Schieman said.
    56. Work will have a negative effect on job authority’s health probably because __________.
    A. they are not fit for their work
    B. they have power over hiring and pay
    C. they are faced with severe competition
    D. they don’t get on well with their co-workers
    57. Most people don’t see that bosses have health effects because __________.
    A. their health problems are not serious enough to see
    B. they have enough money to keep themselves healthy
    C. their problems are quite different from those of workers  
    D. the advantages and disadvantages of their status work against each other
    58. From the passage we can infer that the study aims to _________.
    A. warn people not to be a boss for ever
    B. remind the boss to deal with the bad effects of their work
    C. show that having authority is harmful to one’s health
    D. prove that being a boss can benefit a lot 
    59. The best title for this passage might be ________.
    A. Lower-status can affect health                  B. Authority can affect health
    C. Positive aspects of a power position          D. Disadvantages of being a boss

    The summer beach season is prime time for shark attacks. It seems like sharks are attacking all the time. But that is something of an illusion. The number of attacks is very small.
    How does a shark hunt? Muscles and fins give the shark its speed and maneuverability in the water. A shark’s front fins act like the wings of a plane and let it “fly” through the water. The tail acts like a high-power propeller
    But the big thing that gives the shark its edge in the ocean is its sensory package. The package includes the shark’s eyes, ears, skin, nose and mouth, as weir as electric sensing.
    A shark’s nose is probably its most important sense. If you were to put a single drop of blood in a swimming pool, a great white shark could smell that. And they can tell the direction that the smell is coming from.
    Sharks handle their electric sensing using cell located in the head. Whenever something moves using its muscles, a shark can detect the electrical impulses flowing to those muscles. A shark can electrically “see” anything that has muscles even if it is hiding or the water is not clear.
    Sharks even have vibration sensors in their skin. Even something moves near the shark, tubes pick up the pressure changes and hairs inside the tubes send signals to the brain. This extra sense allows a shark to turn quickly and attack again.
    When you put all these different senses together , it makes the shark a nearly ideal hunter. A shark can detect prey from miles away and then use eyes, electrosensing and movement sensing to home in.
    Strangely, sharks do not seem to use these senses to home in on people. The very low number of sharks tells us that sharks do not hunt people in a regular basis. On the other hand, people love to hunt sharks, Millions of sharks die every year.  Without protection, extinction is a definite possibility.
    68.From the text, we can know that_________________.
    A. it is true that sharks are attacking all the time
    B. a shark can see anything that has muscles even if it is hiding.
    C. sharks deal with their electric sensing using cell located in the skin
    D. what gives the shark its speed and maneuverability is fins and muscles
    69.What gives the shark its edge in the ocean according to the text?
    A. Its muscle.                                               B. Its nose.                      
    C. Its sensory package.                                     D. Its fins
    70. The underlined phrase home in on means___________.
    A. swim                B. move                  C. hunt                       D. smell
    71.In this text, the writer implies that__________.
    A.there ara many shark attacks                     B. humans beings should protect sharks    
    C. human beings dislike hunting shark             D. sharks’ nose is very important

    How old was I? I can’t recall. Maybe I was only 10, about to turn 11, making it the first Christmas after my father left, and left me to fill that sad, shattered place in my mother’s heart. Whenever it was, it was the Christmas the magic changed: the year I stopped being a wide-eyed child and tried eagerly to play Father Christmas myself. It was the Christmas of the coat.
    Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, one of the nicer women’s stores in our town’s little mall. It was a deep forest green. A long, heavy, wool dress coat with side pockets. Mom pulled it out from the rack（架） and held it up. “Long enough,”she murmured and slipped it on.
    “I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the three-way mirror. She made any clothing look good, and this coat hugged her just right. She glanced at the price tag, then hung the coat back on the rack, pausing once more to feel the smooth brush of wool.
    Eighty-seven dollars. But I didn’t think twice. As we moved on through the mall, I found some excuse to come back and ask one of the Tobias ladies to hold the coat.
    At last I had the coat. The store ladies wrapped it in their biggest box with bright blue paper and a thick silver ribbon. I don’t remember how I got it home, but I can still feel the bursting excitement and pride that filled me each time I glimpsed at the beautifully wrapped gift hiding under my sweater. I would occasionally dig it out just to hold the box, to imagine the big space it would take up under our tree. Here it was ─ joy, peace, and love ─ all wrapped up, waiting for Mom’s loving gratitude.
    36. That the writer’s mother felt the coat before they left the store showed that ____.
    A. the coat was of good quality                 B. the coat was too expensive
    C. she liked the coat very much                D. she’d get it in the end
    37. The writer tried to act as Father Christmas in order to ____.
    A. show he grew up                                               B. show he missed his father
    C. bring his mother a surprise                            D. enjoy himself
    38. The writer hid the coat under his sweater in order to ____.
    A. imagine the space taken up under the Christmas tree
    B. feel the strong feeling to his mother on Christmas
    C. give his mother a big surprise on Christmas Day
    D. keep the new coat tidy and orderly in the box
    39. What can be the best title of this passage?
    A. A Merry Christmas                                  B. Christmas of the Coat
    C. A Deep Green Coat                                 D. Mother’s Merry Christmas

    C
    People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one's living. Of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning, what to wear; or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match.
    But then, I have no one to chat with when I'm bored, no one to discuss last night's match with during the lunch-hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like swimming, walking the dog, or even sleeping, if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home, and it's still got to be finished in time. Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not and once I’ve answered the doorbell, it's too late——my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling if I worked in an office, but in an office I find myself making cups of coffee and listening to friends' troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done.
    66. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
    A. To encourage readers to work at home.     
    B. To explain why he has changed his job.
    C. To describe his working life.             
    D. To say how he would like to work.
    67. What can the reader learn from the text?
    A. How to start working for oneself.         
    B. What it's like to work at home.
    C. Why the writer decided to work for himself. 
    D. How artists become successful?
    68. What does the writer like about his life?
    A. He has plenty of opportunities for sport.    
    B. He is his own boss.
    C. He can see people when he wants to.       
    D. He has a comfortable place to work.
    69. What does the writer imagine he might do with colleagues ( 同事 ) ?
    A. Have meals in restaurants.                
    B. Go to the swimming pool.
    C. Spend time in the countryside.                 
    D. Talk about sport.
    70. Which of these notices would be most useful for the writer to put on his door?

    Happiness and sadness are states of being states of being that define the way we view the world. It is often said that some people by nature have a sunny character. Now scientists may have discovered why.
    Some people may be hard-wired for happiness, while others are genetically negative, as
    scientists have suggested in a study published in late February, in a British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
    Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in
    determining how the neurotransmitter (神经传递素) serotonin (血清素) works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙), passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant (抗抑郁) drugs regulate serotonin levels. Scientists had also identified three variants of the gene. Two so-called "short" variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide attempts. Unlike the two "short" variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers.
    Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants a
    series of images. The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a spider or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral ones.
    “The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material,” the researchers found. They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction.
    In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teaching government
    staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" said unhappy staff weren't productive staff. Australian political opposition parties have argued that the "happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see.
    67．Form the third paragraph, we know that         .
    A．affected by 5-HTTLPR, the neurotransmitter serotonin works within the blood
    B．there are 5 variants of 5-HTTLPR genes which control people’s moods
    C．how the neurotransmitter serotonin works is greatly determined by 5-HTTLPR
    D．5-HTTLPR receives chemical messages from verve cells
    68．What does “It” in the sentence “It has been closely linked to mood.” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
    A．Serotonin.          B．A nerve cell.        C．5-HTTLPR.         D．The brain.
    69．If a person had the long variant of 5-HTTLPR, he or she would probably         .
    A．like the images of spiders                     B．prefer the images of crocodiles
    C．enjoy an image of green tress                D．suffer from depression very often
    70．What can we infer from the passage?
    A．People’s moods can change a little bit under the influence of certain drugs.
