3．A study of more than five million books，both fiction and non-fiction，has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time．The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer，a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books，to search for more than 600particular words identified as representing anger，dislike，fear，joy，sadness and surprise．
They found that almost all of the categories （类别） showed a drop in these"mood words"over time．Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage．
"It is a steady and continuous decrease，"said Dr Alberto Acerbi．He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature，in a crowded media landscape．"One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media．Maybe these media-movies，radio，drama-had more emotional content than books．"
Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend，the research，published in the journal PLOS One，found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio （比率） between the two varied greatly，apparently mirroring historical events．
During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash．But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War．Nevertheless，the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends．In the paper，they even argue that the reverse could be true．
"It has been suggested，for example，that it was the suppression （压抑） of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance and sex'…perhaps，"they conclude，"songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body．"
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）
81．A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in"mood words"over time exceptin the category of fear．
82．According to Dr Alberto Acerbi，one reason for the drop of"mood words"in books may be thatthe literary position has changed in a crowded media landscape/other media-movies，radio，drama-
had more emotional content．
83．What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest？During the roaring Twenties and before the recent financial crash．
84．While the researchers found some changes in the use of"mood words"in books，they were
not sure thattheir research result reflected wider social trends/songs and books reflected the real population．

20．Given that many people's moods （情绪）are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie &the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF） has over 100varieties of chocolates．its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates．
The CRF's produce is"green"．made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper，red bean （豆）．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others．

44．What is good about chocolate？C．
A．It serves as a suitable gift．
B．It works as an effective medicine．
C．It helps improve the state of mind．
D．It strengthens business relations．
45．Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF？D．
A．He knows the importance of research．

46．Which line of the CRF produce sells best？C．

7．[1]Fishing is probably the world's most popular sport．People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles．In addition，they spend money on fishing equipment，bait，fuel and boat repairs．And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime．Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it．Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby．
[2]Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby．Firstly，of the millions of people who fish for fun，most only catch enough fish to feed their families．They catch fish that are found in large numbers，so there is little danger to the species （种类）．
[3]Secondly，recreational fishermen contribute to the economy．They spend money on equipment and other items，and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel．Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation （食宿） and airfares．This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year．
[4]Thirdly，fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress．Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol，it is far better to go fishing．People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near---except for the smell of the bait!
[5]Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken form rivers，lakes，streams and oceans．This could lead to the dying out of some species．Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world，so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females，leaving few fish to produce young．
[6]Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport，which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun．Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating，so they are thrown away．Once hooked，fish have no chance of escape．

76．What is the main idea of the passage？（no more than 4words）Differentviewsonfishing．
77．According to Paragraph 2，why does fishing cause little danger to the species？（no more than 8words）Fishingloverscatchfishfoundinlargenumbers．

17．People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars．And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway．Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months．I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting，and some acted just simply rudely．I started hating the way I was treated，and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped （崇拜）before were pretty ordinary．So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths（神秘）．If the star was a bad guy，I would say so．If I thought anyone was stupid，I did not hold back that information．
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty．Surprisingly，many of them hated me for it．I have gotten so many attacks on my character．In their eyes，being famous is everything，even more desirable than being truly creative and talented
Why do we need stars？In fact，the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip （闲话）．Over time，talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about．Thus，some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends．That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview-as we care．We want the dirt on their personal lives．
There is another reason we worship stars．As a whole，our society is not as religious as it once was．It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did．Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes．
We make them stars，but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant，and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die．I am part of this whole process．No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday．

39．What are the stars like according to the author？C
A．They always treat others rudely．
B．They always talk about something dull．
C They are acutually ordinary people．
D．They are usually honest and polite，
40．We worship stars becauseA．
A，we need true mental heroes to support us
B．we can learn something useful from famous stars
C．we concern about the stars，family and friends
D．we like talking about the stars，dressing styles
41．When the author is writing this article，his tone soundsD．
A．excited
B．angry
C．worried
D．calm
42．What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage？B
A．To show the disadvantages of working with stars．
B．To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly．
C．To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed．
D．To talk about the reasons why we worship stars．

4．Before my first summer vacation at college，my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him on his father's farm in Argentina．The idea of spending two months in Argentine was exciting．Then I began having second thoughts．I had never been far from New England，and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college．What would it be like in a strange country？What about the language？The more I thought about it，the more the idea worried me．
In the end I turned down the invitation．As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go，I began kicking myself．I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared，and had ended up feeling depressed．That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself：do what makes you anxious； don't do what makes you depressed．
At the end of my senior year，I began to think about becoming a writer．But my professor was urging me to aim at teaching．I hesitated．The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina．Back and forth I went，making my decision，unmaking it．Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing，that downhearted feeling went through me．
Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me．Right then I learned another lesson．To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern．
When I first began writing articles，I was frequently required to interview big names．Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake．One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington．On the stage and on television，he seemed the very model of confidence．Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright．If the highly honored Ellington，who had appeared on the bandstand some 10，000times over 30years，had anxiety attacks，who was I to think I could avoid them？I went on doing those frightening interviews．Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews．What had happened to those butterflies？
Well，in truth，they were still there，but there were fewer of them．I had benefited，I discovered，from a process psychologists call"extinction"．If you put an individual in an anxious situation often enough，he will eventually learn that there isn't anything to be worried about，which brings me to a conclusion：you'll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it．
The point is that the new，the different，is definitely scary．But each time you try something，you learn，and as the learning piles up，the world opens to you．

63．We can infer from the passage that the authorC．
A．finds it difficult to make decision
B．has found out what causes anxiety
C．was inspired by Duke Ellington's stage fright
D．no longer feels anxious about new experiences
64．The underlined word"extinction"in Paragraph 6meansD．
A．a person's gradual loss of confidence
B．the natural development of a child's abilities
C．the inborn tendency to avoid anxious situations
D．the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety
65．Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept？B
A．Hesitation leads to depression．
B．Anxiety can be a positive drive
C．Avoiding anxiety reduces depression．
D．Depression is a signal that one is growing up．
66．What's the best title of the passage？B
A．Confidence：Key to Success
B．Anxiety：Challenge by Another Name
C．Depression：A Psychological Phenomenon
D．Success：A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression．

1．I used to think of myself as a fairly open person，but my bookshelves told a different story．Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book，my literature collection consisted of British and American titles．Worse still，I hardly ever read anything in translation．My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors．
So，at the start of 2012，I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing．As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop，I decided to ask the planet's readers for help．I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English．
The response was amazing．Before I knew it，people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help．Some posted me books from their home countries．Others did hours of research on my behalf．In addition，several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels，giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English．Even so，selecting books was no easy task．With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland，getting English versions （版本）of stories was difficult．
But the effort was worth it．I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers．These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places，but opened my heart to the way people there might feel．
And that in turn changed my thinking．Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe，I realised I was not alone，but part of a network that spread all over the planet．
21．Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World？A
A．Lists of English version books
B．Research on English literature．
C．Unfinished novels by British writers
D．Comments on English literature．
22．Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read？C
A．The author had a busy schedule．
B．The author was only interested in a few topics．
C．The author could only read books written in English．
D．Most books recommended are not available in local bookshops．
23．The author is probably fromB．
A．America      B．the UK       C．Australia        D．Canada
24．Which of the following words can best describe the author's experience？B
A．fast and effortless
B．challenging but rewarding
C．hopeless but beneficial
D．meaningful but fruitless．

2．Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before．But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing：they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure．That's why a new study of French workers is welcome news．
Led by Hugo Westerlund，a professor of psychology at Stockholm University，the study of more than 14，000workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue （疲劳） in people after they got tired while they were still employed．
The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14years．They found in the year immediately after retirement，the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement．The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period．
Clearly，said Westerlund，much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work．The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect，too，which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions （养老金） that French workers enjoy．Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries．
"The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important，"Westerlund says．"We don't know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement．But no matter what the reason，if life in retirement is not comfortable，then we won't see the improvements we did．"
However，in European nations like France，governments are considering changes to pension plans，which may affect retirees'health after they leave their jobs-with less of a financial safety net，workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）

78．According to some recent studies，retired people may have depression and higher rates of other diseases likeheart disease and high blood pressure．
79．Westerlund's group found that in the year just after the retirement most retired French workers felt much less tired bothmentally and physically．
80．What does the word"improvements"in paragraph 5refer to？The decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms．
81．Retirement may make people happier withmore of a financial safety net．
