6. 6. 选择题 　　Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. 　　Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team. 　　In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests. 　　People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.” 　　1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in . 　　A. India 　　B. Pennsylvania 　　C. Oklahoma 　　2. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT . 　　A. fishing 　　B. singing 　　C. swimming 　　3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports . 　　A. before he was 9 years old 　　B. when he was 16 years old 　　C. when he was 24 years old 　　4. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means . 　　A. jumping 　　B. five track and field events 　　C. ten track and field events 　　5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? 　　A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education. 　　B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games. 　　C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.

12. 12. 选择题 　　Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely. 　　The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. 　　Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all are men—are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football. 　　1.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses. 　　2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. 　　3.Because of better policing graffiti decreases. 　　4.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. 　　5.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.

Molly: With trash separated, pollution caused by incineration can be avoided. Peter: It is high time for us to sort out the trash. Trash is trash only when everything is mixed together. they can be useful again. Molly: Things like paper, glass, and plastics can all be recycled. They can be reused. Peter: Sorting is good. If people have no idea how to sort their trash, they will still put all waste in the same bag. Molly: You are right. People should be informed about how to do that in the first place. Moreover, sorting trash should be made easy for us. Otherwise, few people would bother to do it. Peter: I hope everything goes smoothly! Molly: I believe it will.

27. 10. 正误判断题 　　I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me. 　　Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc. 　　Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can’t say enough. 　　I really enjoy living the country life. I know it’s not for everyone, but I know it's for me. 　　1. The author has lived in the countryside for more than a decade, and he/she loves living there. 　　2. Living in the country is not busy at all. 　　3. The author takes a walk or drives along country roads almost every day. 　　4. People living in the country usually go shopping every Saturday. 　　5. According to the author, nobody dislikes countryside life.

33. 6. 选择题 　　Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math. 　　After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other. 　　Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her. 　　The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step. 　　1. Maggie's father died . 　　A. when she finished high school 　　B. before she was born 　　C. when she was very young 　　2. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? 　　A. Maggie had two children. 　　B. Maggie was once a slave. 　　C. Maggie was good at math. 　　3. Which of the following is TRUE? 　　A. Maggie loved to help other African Americans. 　　B. Maggie was very popular with school teachers. 　　C.

37. 10. 正误判断题 　　All communication begins with the sender and ends with the receiver. The sender is responsible for successful conveyance. The sender's personality, beliefs, cultural and educational background all influence the message and it is important for the sender to be aware of this as he or she is encoding the message. Simply put, encoding is translating information into symbols that represent the ideas or concepts of the message that needs sending. These symbols are usually words in written or spoken form. To ensure successful communication, the sender should know as much about his or her audience – the receiver – as possible in order to focus and support the encoding process. 　　In addition to this awareness of self and encoding, the sender must choose the proper channel for conveying the message. Using the wrong channel may result in miscommunication. Like the sender, receivers are influenced by internal factors: their personality, their receptivity to the message or their relationship to the sender. Additionally, their current feelings, mood, or state of mind can affect a message. Once the message moves through the channel, the receiver then decodes it. The receiver uses his or her own experience and the context of the message to interpret its meaning. 　　Feedback is the return message from the receiver to the sender. It is feedback that enables the sender to know whether the message was received successfully or not. Therefore it is essential to the communication process. 　　This process, though very common, is fraught with potential breakdown at every turn. Spoken or written language is inherently easy to misinterpret. In conclusion, effective and successful Communication takes place when the message is successfully received and the receiver provides the sender with desirable feedback. 　　1. The sender's gender also influences the message. 　　2. Encoding is a process that translating information into symbols which serve as the ideas or concepts of the message that will be sent later. 　　3. These symbols are usually words and sentences in written form. 　　4. Channel is not crucial for conveying the message. 　　5. Feedbacks enable the sender to know whether the receiver has received the message successfully or not.

For many students B. a major barrier C. equality in access to education D. different people E. non-traditional students 　　The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty. 　　A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable. 　　Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from , not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system. 　　Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to . 　　 , university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and . As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system? 　　Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.

55. 16. 选择题 　　It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that? 　　Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed. 　　There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. 　　Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers. 　　Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes. Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction. 　　1. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . 　　A. fat 　　B. healthy 　　C. friendly 　　2. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that . 　　A. most large gym chains really don't want members to show up frequently 　　B. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industry 　　C. regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in their programs 　　3. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members? 　　A. To achieve functional fitness. 　　B. To build six-pack abs. 　　C. To look like a fitness model. 　　4.

57. 18. 选择题 Liu Hui interviews Dr. Smith about the issue of educational inequality. Liu Hui: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for agreeing to be interviewed by our Campus News Weekly. First, what do you mean by educational inequality? Dr. Smith: Educational inequality is the disparity that certain students experience in their education as compared to other students. But the meaning of it varies in different social contexts. Liu Hui: Why does it exist in modern society? Dr. Smith: Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.

64. 6. 选择题 　　Is that 6 a.m. wokeout getting in the way of good sleep? Don't think your fat cells won't notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight gain. 　　The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there' “an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight,” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. But Americans don't seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average. 　　So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young, thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady. Then, a month later, they came back for four additional nights——but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit, researchers got a sample of their fat. Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised to be honest,” he says. 　　Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “Fat cells are actually your friend,” he says. “They're there to store lipids (血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you're exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells stare to become insulin resistant, the lipids star to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream,” Brady says. 　　1. According to the passage, lack of sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT . 　　A. heart disease 　　B. weight gain 　　C. diabetes 　　2. The main idea of the third paragraph is . 　　A. how to write a medical research paper 　　B. how to avoid sleep loss 　　C. how the research was conducted 　　3. What does the “leach” in the last paragraph probably mean? 　　A. Leap. 　　B. Lead. 　　C. Leak. 　　4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? 　　A. We will be in trouble if our fat cells become less responsive to insulin. 　　B. More and more studies are done to study the link between sleep and weight. 　　C. More than 20% of Americans are not getting enough sleep. 　　5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage? 　　A. Poor Sleep May Lead to Too Much Stored Fat and Disease 　　B. Sleep Experts Had Exciting Findings in a Fat Study 　　C. Americans Should Have More Than Six Hours of Sleep

67. 9. 选择题 Alternative Legal Billing – Win Strategies 　　Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures. Project billing for routine issues 　　If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company. Results-oriented options 　　“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation. Multi-layered tasks 　　If you're shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter. 　　This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate. 　　Legal “Insurance” 　　The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action. 　　1. is the best way to be charged for legal services. 　　A. Results-oriented billing 　　B. Hourly billing 　　C. Flat-fee billing 　　2. A flat-fee approach . 　　A. is suitable for repetitive tasks 　　B. is useless 　　C. is the best choice. 　　3. make the law firm share your risk and encouragement. 　　A. Contract fees 　　B. Blended hourly fees 　　C. Contingency fees 　　4. Legal work involving a number of legal specialties should consider using . 　　A. blended hourly fees 　　B. insurance fees 　　C. hourly fees 　　5. You have to eye the clock when you talk to the lawyer when you choose . 　　A. legal “Insurance” 　　B. the old “bill by the hour” deal 　　C. a flat-fee approach
