Grammar and vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
( A )
Is It Safe to Fly With an Infant on Your Lap?
Federal (聯邦的) transportation safety officials are using the deadly crash of an overloaded plane in Montana to restore (25) ______________ long-standing debate about whether small children should be allowed to travel on the laps (大腿部) of adults.
The 10-seater plane crashed as it (26) ______________( land ) in Butte in March 2009, killing all 14 people aboard, including seven children. Investigators say that several of the children were found far from the plane, suggesting that they weren’t properly restrained.
The National Transportation Safety Board is asking regulators to require all passengers to have their own seats and seat belts, including children under the age of 2,who(27) ______________ ( allow ) to sit on an adult’s lap now.
The crash was so severe that it’s unlikely anybody would have survived even with proper restraints, (28) ______________ the “accident renews the NTSB’s longstanding concerns” about the restraints, the recommendation reads.
The FAA (聯邦航空局) agrees that the safest place for a child on a flight is in a seat using an(29) ______________ ( approve ) child restraint and not on an adult’s lap. But the FAA won’t make it a requirement because the agency believes many families with small children wouldn’t pay the cost of an extra ticket, and instead would travel by highway, which statistically is much more dangerous than air travel.
Last decade, the FAA considered(30) ______________( change ) the rule, but decided against it, (31) ______________ ( refer ) to statistics (統計數字) from 2004 showing nearly 43,000 people died on U.S. highways, compared to 13 on commercial flights.
“What we found was (32) ______________ there were some parents who would be sensitive to price and they would choose to drive instead of fly,” FAA spokeswoman Alison Duquette said. “We would be forcing them into automobiles, which are less safe.”
( B )
Computers and Girls
The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of (33) ______________ the researchers call a major new gender gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, “Girls tend to be (34) ______________ ( comfortable ) than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which (35) ______________( understand) information.”
After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls constantly rate (36) ______________ significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys (37) ______________ the classroom.
The instructor of this computer lab says he’s already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, “Boys are not so afraid that they might do something that will harm the computer, (38) ______________girls are afraid they might break it somehow.”
The software company Purple Moon says it has found what girls want --- characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what’s going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, “What we have definitely found from girls is that there is no essential reason (39) ______________ they wouldn’t want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing.”
The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this --- the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys (40) ______________ be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.
Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientific breakthroughs mean that life expectancy continues to rise every year. But the medical advances which now make it possible to think about living to a very great age --- if not forever --- also raise profound practical and ethical issues.
Is immortality (永生) a realistic __41__?
Not for the foreseeable future. In last year’s Reith lectures, the gerontologist (老年病學家) Professor Tom Kirkwood firmly quashed (打消) the idea that genetic engineering might result in some kind of “fountain of youth”. Considering how __42__slow the battles against cancer, heart disease and strokes have been, he said, it is fanciful to imagine that we could conquer death. On the other hand, scientists do now understand more about why we age, and what can be done to slow down the process. “Our ancestral genes placed limited __43__on long-term maintenance and repair,” says Kirkwood. “Ageing comes about through the gradual build-up of __44__ faults in the cells and tissues of our bodies, not as the result of some active mechanism for death and destruction.” The __45__ , then, is to help the body repair the damage done by wear and tear.
How can that be done?
In many different ways, some of which are already pretty common. Organ transplants from pigs and monkeys are now old news --- the American politician Jesse Helms has just had a ten-year-old pig valve (瓣膜) in his heart __46__. Doctors have succeeded in __47__computerized implants directly to nerve fibres, allowing the deaf to hear, and there is hope that electrodes (電極) planted in the brain may soon offer hope for the blind to see. But the real __48__at the moment lies in the field of stem cells --- special cells that allow lizards (蜥蜴) to grow new tails and humans to grow new skin over __49__cuts. If scientists can learn how to control these cells, they could be used to reproduce parts of the body that are __50__.
Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Since Alzheimer’s disease (阿爾茨海默病)and Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) are common and many notable people have developed them, they have received more public attention.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Many people imagine that Alzheimer’s disease, the degenerative (退化的) disorder that eventually leaves sufferers with total memory loss, is an inevitable result of aging. This is not so. While the risks of contracting the disease increase with age, there are many elderly people whose memories are perfect. Most of us are so ill-__51__ about all forms of memory loss that we label everything as “Alzheimer’s ”. Alzheimer’s disease itself can affect people as young as 30 and can progress either quickly or slowly. It can also __52__ the blame for other non-degenerative conditions such as deep depression. __53__, only an examination of the brain tissue during an autopsy (解剖) can produce an accurate __54__ of the disease.
The causes of Alzheimer’s are unknown. They may be either __55__ or environmental. A study in 1996 of 13,000 people whose parents or siblings had the disease showed they had five times __56__ chance of passing away by the age of 80 than those with no family history of the problem.
__57__, there are other factors. In a study of identical twins, it was found that only about half of the twin pairs developed Alzheimer’s and, when both twins __58__ it, they did so as much as 15 years apart. The possibility that environment plays a part was boosted by another 1996 study, this time of two groups of elderly Japanese men. One group lived in Hawaii, the other group in Japan. The Hawaiian group had a much higher incidence of the disease.
Aluminum (鋁) has been blamed for the development of Alzheimer’s. This is because a high level aluminum has been found in the brains of sufferers. The disease was first diagnosed at the beginning of the 20th century. It was at this time that aluminum was becoming widely __59__ for use in cooking pots.
Memory loss, __60__ in performing familiar tasks, and problems with abstract thinking are all indicators of the beginning of the disease. One unusual feature is its impact on language. It attacks nouns first, then verbs. Grammar is one of the last things to go.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system which __61__ more than one million Americans. Individuals with PD lack the substance dopamine (多巴胺), which is __62__ for the central nervous system’s control of muscle activity. Parkinson’s Disease is often characterized by shake, inflexibility in limbs and joints, speech disability and difficulty in __63__ physical movement. Late in the course of the disease, some patients develop dementia (癡呆症) and eventually Alzheimer’s disease. __64__, some Alzheimer patients develop symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Medications such as levodopa (左多巴), which changes itself into dopamine once inside the brain, which prevents degeneration of dopamine-containing neurons (神經細胞), are used to improve diminished or __65__ motor symptoms in PD patients, but do not correct the mental changes that occur.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
( A )
The stylistic innovation in painting known as Impressionism began in the 1870’s. The Impressionists wanted to depict (描繪) what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray incomplete moments by the increasingly fast pace of modern life. They concentrated on the play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seemingly solid surfaces, stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected light in all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want to observe the world from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous(自然的)impressions of their subjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoors to complete the work from memory.
Some of the impressionists’ painting methods were affected by technological advances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible in part by the arrival of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that led to folding paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish their paintings on the spot.
Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters but from angry art lovers who felt threatened by the new painting. The term “Impressionism” was born in 1874, when a group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of their paintings in order to draw public attention to their work. Reaction from the public and press was immediate, and derisive (嘲笑的). Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet (1840-1926)ed through hostile eyes, Monet’s painting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, hurried, and an insult to good taste. Borrowing Monet’s title, art critics extended the term “Impressionism” to the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his 29 fellow artists in the exhibit adopted the same name as a symbol of their unity, despite individual differences. From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the enthusiasm for a “church”, as the painter Renoir put it. Monet was faithful to the Impressionist belief until his death, although many of the others moved on to new styles.
66. Which of the following was one of the distinguishing characteristics of Impressionist painting according to the passage?
A. The emphasis on people rather than nature scenes.
B. The way the subjects were presented from multiple angles.
C. The focus on small solid objects.
D. The depiction of the effects of light and color.
67. The exhibition of paintings organized in 1874 resulted in all of the following EXCEPT___________.
A. attracting attention from the public
B. a negative reaction from the press
C. an immediate demand for the paintings exhibited
D. creating a name for a new style of painting
68. Which of the following caused the rejection of the impressionist exhibition?
A. The small number of paintings on display.
B. Lack of interest in exhibitions by young artists.
C. The similarity between all the paintings exhibited.
D. Anger about seemingly poorly painted art.
69. What aspect of painting in the nineteenth century does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The impact of some artists’ resistance to the fast pace of life.
B. The differences between two major styles of art.
C. A technological advance in the materials used by artists.
D. A group of artists with a new technique and approach to art.
( B )
70. Which of the following is correct according to the web page?
Athletes and teams are battling for 42 places in qualifying competitions.
Qualification can be achieved according to the world rankings of the athletes.
All qualified athletes who have earned places will be sent to the Rio Olympics.
The qualification system for football is determined by IOC.
71. When you click on the sports, you will probably read the following information EXCEPT ___________.
the Olympic qualification system for each of the 42 sports
the list of the countries that have qualified for the Olympics
the official release of the qualifying competitions results
the world rankings of the athletes in previous years
72. Which of the following about “a quota place for the Olympics” is NOT correct?
Each nation must earn a quota place to send athletes to the Olympic Games.
It is possible that unplaced athletes will win quota places for the Olympic Games.
A quota place guarantees the athlete who earns it will be competing in the Olympic Games.
Each National Olympic Committee makes the final decision on which athlete to fill the quota.
( C )
The Federal Communications Commission (聯邦通訊委員會) (FCC) Chairman Kevin Martin just relaunched the formal review of media ownership rules. The agency’s “Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,” issued July 25, is vague, but its intention is clear: to let a few giant media corporations swallow up more local television channels, radio stations and newspapers in a single market. Martin’s main target is the ban on “newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership” that prohibits one company from owning the major daily newspaper as well as radio and TV stations in the same area. He’d also like to allow one company to own more than one TV station in smaller markets, and more than two in the largest cities. A few powerful firms in major cities have won waivers (棄權) to the ban, or at least delays on enforcement, but those are the exceptions.
That Déjà vu you’re feeling is because the FCC tried to push through the same rule changes in 2003 under then-Chairman Michael Powell. In response, millions of people --- encouraged by groups such as the National Rifle Assn. and the National Organization for Women --- contacted the FCC and Congress to voice their opposition. The FCC approved the rule changes anyway, only to see them nearly overturned by Congress and then rejected by the courts. Despite the overwhelming public opposition, Martin’s latest attempt to eliminate cross-ownership rules is driven by the massive lobbying (遊說) of a cartel (企業聯盟) of second-tier big media companies specializing in newspaper and broadcast station ownership, such as Gannett, Media General and Tribune. Their motive is bigger profits.
But what’s good for Big Media’s bottom line isn’t always good for the rest of us. The first victim of “media company towns” would be journalism. When one firm owns most of a city’s news outlets, who needs a bunch of competing newsrooms? Investigative reporting and extensive local coverage requires a costly staff. It’s far cheaper to syndicate (出售給多個媒體) fare from headquarters than to support a diversity of local voices. If your readers and viewers don’t like it, where else are they going to go?
Once the big chains start selling and exchanging their properties to build up larger fiefdoms (地盤),the already declining number of independent and minority owners will be further squeezed out. Today, just one in five daily newspapers is owned by individuals or companies that don’t own any other newspapers. According to the most recent FCC data, fewer than 4% of radio stations and 2% of TV stations are owned by minorities.
Industry and Wall Street publicity says local media can’t compete without further consolidation (整合). Yet media companies already enjoy higher profit margins than most industries. They say we must deregulate (解除控制). But radio and TV station ownership is by definition regulated --- these are the public airwaves and there are only so many channels available in a community. The only question is on whose behalf will Washington make the rules: major media companies or the public?
73. The rule on “newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership” intends to ___________.
A. prevent companies from owning both television and radio stations
B. limit a company from owning more than one television station
C. replace giant media corporations with media company towns
D. protect local voices, vigorous competition and diverse viewpoints
74. Which of the following will probably happen if the FCC’s rule changes are approved?
A. The government will completely dominate public speech. B. The public will voice their strong opposition to Congress.
C. The number of radios and TV stations will decline sharply.
D. The local media competition will be almost eliminated.
75. “Déjà vu”( Line l, Paragraph 2 ) probably means a feeling that___________.
A. a new situation has occurred before
B. a familiar situation becomes unfamiliar
C. the situation has run out of control
D. the situation is better than expected
76. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The former chairman of the FCC ignored public opinion with a risk.
B. A company is forbidden to own more than one newspaper.
C. The local news outlets are controlled by independent companies.
D. Media industry used to be an unprofitable industry.
77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Can We Hear More Local Voices?
B. Do We Really Want Big Media to Get Even Bigger?
C. How Will FCC’s Action Affect Consumers?
D. How Will Washington Make Media Ownership Rules?
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Employers in some unlikely places say they’re having trouble filling jobs. Factory managers in Ho Chi Minh city report many of their $62-a-month workers went home for the Tet (越南春節)holiday in February and never came back. In Bulgaria, computer experts are in such demand that they can’t be bothered to answer the want ads of a Los Angeles movie studio. And in Peoria, Caterpillar Inc. is struggling to train enough service technicians. The problem in each case: not enough people who are both able and willing to do the work for the posted pay. “We’ve got a global problem and it’s going to continue to get worse,” says Stephen Hitch, a human resources manager at Caterpillar.
A global labor shortage, already being felt by some employers, appears to have worsened in recent months. That’s in spite of widely publicized layoffs, including Citigroup’s plans to dismiss as many as 15,000 staff. In fact, U. S. unemployment remains low --- just 4.5% in February --- and even companies in countries with higher jobless rates are feeling under great pressure. “It’s not just a U. S. phenomenon,” says Jeffery A. Joerres, CEO of Manpower Inc., the staffing agency. On March 29, Manpower was to release the results of a survey of nearly 37,000 employers in 27 countries. The study found that 41% of them are having trouble hiring people they need.
What’s going on here? With global growth running at a strong 5% a year since 2004, the strategies that companies developed to hold down labor costs --- including offshoring (境外生產) work to low-wage countries --- are running out of gas far sooner than many expected. The seemingly inexhaustible pools of cheap labor from China, India, and elsewhere are drying up as demand exceeds the supply of people with the needed skills. “Companies were hoping they wouldn’t have to worry about human resources at all.” says Peter Capelli, director of the Center for Human Resources at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. “Now they do.” Corporations are determined to keep labor costs under control, so they’re reaching deeper into their bag of tricks. Some are doing more in-house training, so they don’t have to hire high-priced talent on the open market. Some are lowering their standards for new hires or moving operations to undeveloped territories other outsourcers (外包商) haven’t discovered, such as the Belarusian capital, Minsk, or smaller cities in Bulgaria and Romania.
( Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

Disney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive places than at Disneyland.
2. Make an Autograph Book
An autograph book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album; cute pads or notebooks.
3. Eat Breakfast Before You Arrive
Breakfast is almost as pricey as lunch or dinner if you eat inside the Disneyland parks. If you have a hotel with a free breakfast, take advantage of it. If you want to eat out, eat at a local restaurant that is inexpensive or has a kids' menu, such as McDonald's which is close to the park. 4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special Groups
Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify for a special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets.
21. It may take you more money to buy souvenirs at_____.
A. Disneyland B. Department stores C. Walmart D. Amazon
22. How much do you pay for the park's 60th anniversary edition?
A. $7.95 B. $19.95 C. $5 D. $30
23. What is one piece of the author’s advice on breakfast?
A. You had better eat at Disneyland.
B. You can eat at a local restaurant.
C. You should prepare it well at home .
D. You can ask the hotel to supply it for free.

Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.
‘Read and Ride’ is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates(刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.
24. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?
A. Kids ride bikes as they read.
B. Kids excise balls and read at the gym.
C. Kids sit at desks for long while reading.
D. Kids do outdoor activities during lessons.
25. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?
A. They exercise with high pressure.
B. They feel reading fun and learn better.
C. They improve their sense of competition.
D. They are instructed to read at the same pace.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The program will be more and more popular.
B. Schools doubt whether the program is available.
C. Physical activities prevent kids from learning more.
D. The school achievement depends wholly on the program.
27. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Standing desks help school kids focus on their studies.
B. Traditional teaching should be banned in the near future.
C. ‘Read And Ride’ aims to make students healthier and smarter.
D. Kids need release energy during independent reading classes.

Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn, I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was 'the worst idea ever'! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that – watching not multi-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen – why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?!
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.
However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I’m at, please don’t sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?
28. The underline word “irritated” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A. terrified B. depressed C. annoyed D. embarrassed
29. Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain’s original advice?
A. The advice was carried out smoothly.
B. They permitted people to use the phone.
C. The advice was very popular with people.
D. They prohibited people to use the phone.
30. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Young people use their social media frequently.
B. The cinema needn’t worry about their customers.
C. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.
D. Sending messages is the best experience for young people.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards multi-task at the movies?
A. Sympathy. B. Encouragement. C. Enthusiasm. D. Disapproval.
D
In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange, and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. The cool colors are green, blue, and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange, is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating, do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. People associate colors with different objects, feelings, and holidays. People say red is an exciting and active color. They associate red with a strong feeling like anger. Red is used for signs of danger, such as STOP signs and fire engines. The holiday which is associated with red is Valentine’s Day. Orange is the bright, warm color of leaves in autumn. People say orange is a lively, energetic color. They associate orange with happiness. The holidays which are associated with orange are Halloween in October and Thanksgiving Day in November. White is the color of snow. People describe white as a pure, clean color. They associate white with a bright clean feeling. On the other hand, black is the color of night. People wear black clothes at serious or formal ceremonies. Yellow is the color of sunlight. People say it is a cheerful and lively color. Green is the cool color of grass in spring. People say it is a refreshing and relaxing color. Machines in factories are usually painted light green. Blue is the color of the sky, water, and ice. Police and Navy uniforms are blue. When people are sad, they say “I feel blue.” They associate blue with feelings like unhappiness and fear.
If two objects are the same except for color, they will look different. Color can make an object look nearer or farther, larger or smaller. Bright objects look larger than dark objects. In conclusion, color is very important to people. Warm and cool colors affect how people feel. People choose products by color. Moreover, color affects how an object looks. It is even possible that your favorite color tells a lot about you.
32. The people who prefer warm colors usually are ________.
A. quiet B. energetic C. angry D. relaxing
33. The fact that one family paints the living room a sunny yellow suggests ________.
A. people want to be quiet
B. people want to sleep slowly
C. people want time to pass more slowly
D. people associate colors with holidays
34. Why do doctors and nurses normally wear white uniforms?
A. Because white means pure and clean.
B. Because white means serious or formal.
C. Because they like the colour of snow.
D. Because they like wearing uniforms.
35. We may learn from the text that fat people who want to look slimmer should wear________ clothes.
A. blue B. dark C. white D. yellow

How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
1. Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 36 For example, if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 pm, because that’s when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 am, you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am.
2. Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. 37 Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3. 38 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim(暗淡的) night light. 39 They include windows, LED clocks and computer lights.
4. Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 40
A. Try to avoid all sources of light.
B. Keep the room as dark as possible.
C. Make note of unusual circumstances.
D. Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.
E. Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F. In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.
G. If you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.

Breaking up large classes into several smaller ones 61 (help) students, but the improvements in many cases come whatever teachers do, a new research suggests.
New 62 (finding) of the research from four nations, tell an interesting story. Small classes work for children, but that’s 63 because of how teachers teach, but because of what students feel they can do: get 64 (much) face time with their teachers, for instance, or work in small groups with classmates.
“These are the same as what researchers have already known,” Gamoran says. There is no good evidence 65 teachers change their instructions based on changes in class size. Teachers are always strict with their students. Some teachers are making use 66 small classes and others are not. There are a lot of differences. “It’s not like that you reduce classes so teachers do something different and the achievement is higher,” he says.
In one study, researchers 67 (close) watched students’ behaviours and found that students behaved better in smaller classes. They also 68 (have) more direct communication with teachers and worked more in small groups rather by themselves.
One team, 69 (lead) by Ronald Ehrenberg of Cornell University, finds that the potential benefits of class-size reduction “may be greater than what we observed” if only a few teachers change their teaching 70 (fit) the smaller group.

Thanks very much for your letter. I’d like to describe my sports dance lessons, which I recent took for the first time.
Every lesson starts a warm-up and different exercises. We stretch our muscles to prevent injuries or build up stronger muscles, too. After the warm-up, our teacher always teaches us the steps we have to dance. For a better understand, we dance these steps without music.
To dance for three hours without any break sounds very difficulty but if you enjoy dancing, you’ll get used to them. I really love sports dance because I can become very fit while having a fun. Although I have only spent a short times dancing, I feel much healthier and even a little thin now.
Did you go in for any sports?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
