When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe “more is better.” But what they do not realize is that overtreatment—too many scans, too many blood tests, too many procedures—may bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be invasive, or to treatment for things that should be left alone. Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener's disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system, they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her doctor. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X－rays, and repeatedly referred her to specialists for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as prevention when she developed a cold. She had as many as 25 doctor visits during one six－month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care. After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the couple began questioning the treatment after discussing with other patients in online support groups. “It's a really hard thing to determine when they've crossed the line，” Mr. Power said. “You think she's getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the purpose？” Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new specialist to oversee Mrs. Power's care. Under the new doctor's care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power's condition stabilized. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year. 24．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Treatments do not always cause harmful side effects. B．Patients tend to believe more testing is better treatment. C．Too much medical care may not be beneficial to patients. D．Doctors generally recommend office visits that are necessary. 25．Which of the following was a problem for Mrs. Power during her medical treatment? A．She had to be hospitalized for three weeks whenever she had a cold. B．When test results showed she was fine, her doctor still ordered more tests. C．She did not have any insurance, so she became penniless because of her illness. D．Her doctor asked her to consult other specialists due to her constant complaints. 26．Who does “they” in the third paragraph most likely refer to? A．Doctors. B．Other patients. C．Mr. and Mrs. Power. D．The online support groups. 27．What led to the Powers' doubt about Mrs. Power's treatment? A．Mrs. Power's condition getting worse. B．The results of her blood tests. C．Knowing about other patients' treatment. D．The advice from Mr. Power's doctor.

Students who date(约会) in middle school have significantly worse study skills. They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia. “Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships,” said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior. Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade. Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students’ academic(学术的) efforts. He found that some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students always had the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school. “At all points in time, teachers considered the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit (学分), being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters. “Dating a classmate may be as complicated as dating a co-worker,” Orpinas said, “when the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps see the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and could divert (转移) attention from studying.” “Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,” Orpinas concluded. 28. According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_____ A. have poorer academic performances B. be more likely to hurt others C. enjoy better school lives D. be less likely to use alcohol and tobacco 29. When doing his study, Orpinas ________________. A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade B. completed a survey and a report each year C. found that the students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating D. completed questionnaires about the students’ academic efforts 30. What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up? A. They don’t want to see each other any longer. B. They will think it’s reasonable to get depressed. C. They will miss their ex-partners sometimes. D. Their attention to studying will be affected. 31. Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is_____ A. supportive B. negative C. positive D. unconcerned

In fact，the study showed that even identical twins，who share nearly l00 percent of their DNA, aren't attracted to the same people，suggesting that it's our experiences，more than our genes，that determine whether we find someone hot or not. “We estimate that an individual's aesthetic(审美的)preferences for faces agree about 50 percent，and disagree about 50 percent，with others，” explained Laura Germine from Harvard University，and Jeremy Wilmer of Wellesley College，lead researchers of the project. This fits with the phenomenon that on one hand，fashion models can make a fortune with their good looks，while on the other hand，friends can endlessly debate about who is attractive and who is not，“they added.”Of course，there are some things that people seem to find pretty much universally pleasant to look at，e.g.，most people prefer faces that are symmetric(对称的)．But after analyzing the facial preferences of more than 35,000 volunteers, the researchers found that，it was experiences that seemed to be what shape the “eye of the beholder”．And those experiences are highly specific to each individual. So in other words，it's not your family，where you grew up，or how much money your parents make that shape who you're attracted to，it's things like the magazines you read, the social activities you've take part in，and even your first boyfriend or girlfriend，that determine these preferences. 32．What does the underlined word “identical” in Para 2 mean? A．unique B．same C．distinguishing D．considerate 33．Why does the writer talk about the “fashion model”？ A．To tell us they own beautiful faces which help them earn money. B．To emphasize they have symmetric faces which people widely enjoy. C．To show people's preference for faces partly agree and disagree. D．To explain the role genes play in people's preference. 34．Which of the following statements agrees with the theme of the passage? A．Symmetric faces look beautiful in eastern culture but not in western culture. B．The more beautiful a person looks，the more likely he is to get a success. C．A person's aesthetic preferences for beauty will remain the same in the future. D．Some think the movie star Huang Xiaoming handsome while some don't think so. 35．What is the title of the passage? A．Gene preference or social preference? B．Difficult to meet every taste. C．Beauty is in the eye of beholder． D．Love me，love my dog?

Nuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima(Japan) in 2011, the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided—some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down. After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. __36__ In fact, almost 80% of France's electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.” Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. __37__ So, pronuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain's chief scientific adviser(John Beddington) supports this view. Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they're expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. __38__ So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. __39__ For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several highprofile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands of people. The nuclear energy issue is very complex. __40__ As a Japanese commentator recently said, “It's been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’， but I don't think they're down and out yet.” The battle continues. A．And it doesn't look like it'll be resolved anytime soon. B．The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn't safe. C．Nuclear power could only end the world instead of saving it! D．Many people believe that they will benefit from the unclear energy. E．Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn't create greenhouse gases. F．But France and the United States remain loyal supporters of atomic energy. G．This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer.

Rowling， It is great pleasure to write to you. I like reading all of your Harry Potter book. A few days before, I listened to a radio programme about you. Now I know that you teach English at home and in others countries before you started writing books. I also know that you could only write the first book while your baby daughter was asleep, so you worked on them for five years. That was a very much difficult job. Your son David and your daughter Jessica must be proud for you. I hope I can become as successfully as you when I grow up. Thank you for spending time read my letter. Yours sincerely， Michele
