William lived with his parents and seven sisters in a small clay house without electricity or running water. Like most boys in his village, William was expected to assist his parents on the family farm, as well as keep up with his school work. However, in 2003 at the age of 13, William and many other children were forced to drop out of school when their parents could no longer afford his schooling. William had to work even harder to help his family, but he wasn’t ready to give up his education. He went to the local library and took out some books to study. One book, called Using Energy, sparked William’s interest in science and gave him an idea that significantly changed his future. In the book, William found a picture of a windmill (风车), and a brief description of how it could be used to generate electricity from wind. He knew that there was plenty of wind in his village, and realized that if he could build a windmill like that, he could give his family and the people in his village a much better life. There was just one problem. The book didn’t explain how to build a windmill, and neither did any of the other books in the library. What happened over the next year demonstrated William’s incredible ambition and determination. He began to collect any kinds of materials he thought could be useful — scraps of wood, broken bicycles, old shoes — and started to build a windmill next to his family’s house. He endured many challenges and failures. Other people in his village called him crazy and said his idea would never work. Finally, at the age of 14, William completed his first windmill. When they saw electric lights and heard the sound of music on the radio coming from William’s house, the village people came running. He had done it. His autobiography (自传), The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind tells the story of how the rest of the world came to know about his achievements. With the help of international supporters, his village now has clean running water, solar powered lighting, and electric power. As a result of his actions, William was invited to study engineering at Dartmouth College, one of the top-ranking universities in the U. S. He also travels the world and gives talks about how he made his dream a reality. 51. William went to the local library because . A. he wanted to find some materials for his invention B. it was his favorite way to kill time and relax C. he wanted to continue his education D. it was believed to be a way to change his fate 52. Paragraph 3 is mainly about . A. why the windmill is so attractive B. how William got inspired by a book C. why William decided to continue his education D. how a windmill works to produce electricity 53. The living conditions in William’s village are much better now mainly because . A. William has helped build a power station B. the villagers are greatly encouraged by William C. William’s autobiography is locally popular D. it has received much outside help 54. What is the message conveyed in the passage? A. We should strike while the iron is hot. B. A good beginning makes a good end. C. One who lives his dream can make a difference. D. You’d better not put all the eggs in one basket.

Studies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you don’t look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you’re married, you’re going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you’re unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it’s because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lying’s a cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we’re willing to lie for the sake of social dignity, maybe to keep a private secret. Lying is complex. It’s woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. We’re deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don’t understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We’re against lying, but secretly we’re for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It’s as old as breathing. It’s part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World. Lying has great value to the evolution of human being. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We human like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who’s coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control via flattery (讨好). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up. So what do we do about lies? Well there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54% accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? There are clever liars and stupid liars. There’re no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques. 55. From paragraph 1 we learn that lying is very . A. harmful B. common C. interesting D. easy 56. According to the passage, a lie works when . A. the liar’s words are sweet enough B. it is given to a complete stranger C. we are willing to lie for the dignity D. someone gives the liar cooperation 57. Lying is complex because . A. it is practiced by clever ones B. it is the whole part of great culture C. ancient stories are full of lies D. people are for it as well as against it 58. What might the writer talk about in the following passage? A. How to become clever liars. B. How to avoid stupid lies. C. How to tell truth from lies. D. How to get through the bushes.

In the gym of Croxteth Community School, Liverpool, 50 boys have completed a course on boxing that is seen as a sign for its return to state schools. The Schools Amateur Boxing Association (SABA) has developed the Kid Gloves scheme, a non-contact (非接触)version of the sport where outside coaches teach a range of basic skills. Chris Andrews, assistant secretary of the SABA, said the scheme was regarded as a way of changing the decline in boxing in state schools which began 25 years ago. Safety fears and the poor image of professional boxing had accelerated the sport’s decline. Concern was worsened by incidents such as the death of the professional boxer Bradley Stone. But the Croxteth example was winning more supporters. Mr. Andrews said the idea was particularly well received in the north-east of England. He said, “I think there is a genuine recognition that there are aspects to boxing, if it is controlled and properly run, that really is very beneficial to children. This scheme takes away the dangers. I hope boxing can be promoted throughout the country in a more coordinated(协调的) way.” Such an idea horrifies such groups as the British Medical Association (BMA) and the British Safety Council, both critics of the idea. Dr Jeffrey Cundy, the joint author of a BMA report on boxing, accepted that the scheme in Liverpool was non-contact, but he was still opposed. He said, “We feel that children should still not be introduced to boxing, because they will then be encouraged to take up an activity which is uniquely dangerous when actual contact takes place.” He added, “There is a whole range of sports which will teach the discipline that comes from boxing without the dangers. We see this reintroduction in schools as an unhealthy development.” At the 800-pupil Croxteth school, Steve Stewart, head of PE, said boxing had helped to improve self-confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness and self-respect in those taking part. Everybody could get involved and, because all were starting from scratch, the improvements could be quickly seen. Gerry Thompson and Tony Curry, both 12, have enjoyed the boxing sessions and say they will both join a local boxing club. “I thought it was brilliant,” said Gerry. “I would rather be a professional boxer than a footballer. It’s more enjoyable.” 59. According to the text, the Kid Gloves scheme is developed by SABA primarily to . A. provide more fun for students B. promote the boxing course in a less dangerous way C. help students gain a sense of achievement D. encourage students to be better-behaved 60. Dr. Jeffrey Cundy’s attitude towards the return of boxing to schools can be described as . A. supportive B. unconcerned C. neutral D. disapproving 61. The underlined part “all were starting from scratch” probably means . A. starting the course was difficult B. scratching was the first step to learn boxing C. everyone was inexperienced and started from the very beginning D. students would easily get hurt during the course 62. In which section of a newspaper can we most likely read the passage? A. Education B. Lifestyle C. Science D. Business

Surfing the net when you should be finishing a work report, changing clothes when you have a train to catch, or perhaps even lying in bed when you’ve promised yourself you’ll work out. Sound familiar? You aren’t alone. We all procrastinate (拖延) sometimes, especially when it comes to things we aren’t really fond of. A study revealed that we spend about 218 minutes procrastinating every day, which amounts to 55 days of lost time each year. We might not think these figures particularly worthy of worry, but when we look at the overall impact of procrastination on our lives, it’s a different story. Not only does this cost financial loss, it also affects peace of mind. In general, people who continually put things off are unhappier, as well as being less wealthy and healthy. So why do we do it? “When we avoid taking action, we’re really avoiding pain,” explains psychiatrist (精神病学家) Phil Stutz. For most of us, pain avoidance isn’t limited to one situation. It applies to almost anything that’s painful. Most of us try our best never to leave a comfort zone. That’s why we sacrifice something much more valuable: time. “Our time on earth is limited,” Stutz adds. “Every moment is an opportunity we’ll never have again. Procrastinators act as if they have all the time in the world. But deep down, they know they’re wasting parts of their life. The trouble is, most of them don’t know how to free themselves.” One way he says we can reach this level of freedom is by overcoming the pain of avoidance using daily visualization (想象). “Picture the pain you’re avoiding as a black cloud in front of you,” Stutz says. “Notice how you’re tied of the ways this pain has held you back in life, and tell yourself that you’re determined to conquer it. Then it’s time to get through the cloud and to the other side — where you’re free.” It is obvious that this tool works when we want to procrastinate. We then get into the habit of moving “towards” pain instead of away from it. Experts insist: procrastinators can change their behavior, it takes a lot of self-work but in the end, it’s worth the effort. And start today, not tomorrow. 63. The writer begins the passage by . A. mentioning habitual activities B. asking related questions C. presenting abnormal things D. comparing different opinions 64. According to the passage, people procrastinate because they . A. get accustomed to taking action B. don’t know how to free themselves C. are not aware of the limited time D. prefer to stay in the comfort zone to avoid pain 65. One possible way to stop procrastination is to . A. lie in bed B. avoid the pain C. overcome it mentally D. reach the freedom 66. What’s the writing purpose of the passage? A. To analyze the trouble procrastination causes. B. To show what contributes to procrastination. C. To encourage people to defeat procrastination. D. To solve the problems caused by procrastination.

They say that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never do the same thing. Yet childhood bullying (欺凌) really can damage your long-term health. Gone are the days when bullying was considered an unavoidable and finally harmless part of growing up — just last month we learned that childhood bullying can lead to poorer mental health even into middle age. Now William Copeland at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and his colleagues have shown that it can have lasting physiological effects too. They tracked 1,420 nine-year-olds right through their teens. Each child was seen up to nine times during the study and asked about bullying. The team then measured levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in their blood. CRP is a marker of inflammation (炎症) linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病) and problems like diabetes. “Because we were collecting biological samples throughout, we were able to look at CRP levels in subjects before their bullying involvement.” says Copeland. “This really gives us an idea of the changes bullying brings about.” Although CRP levels naturally rise in everyone during adolescence, levels were highest in children who reported suffering from bullies. Even at the ages of 19 and 21, children who had once been bullied had CRP levels about 1.4 times higher than peers(同龄人) who were neither wrongdoers nor victims. In a cruel twist, the bullies had the lowest levels of all, suggesting they didn’t suffer the same health risks. They may even see a benefit from their behavior, though Copeland stresses it doesn’t defend their actions. “The goal would instead be to find other ways to produce this protective effect without it being at someone else’s expense.” he says. Andrea Danese at King’s College London has before shown that ill-treatment during childhood can lead to high levels of inflammation in adult life. “This new study is a helpful addition in showing that these effects extend to another important childhood stressor.” he says. He suggests that care workers monitor levels of CRP in children having psychotherapy(心理疗法) to see if it is helping to reduce the stress of being bullied. 67. What do we know about CRP from paragraph2? A. It is a symbol of the inflammation. B. It directly causes problems like diabetes. C. It is a symbol of cardiovascular disease. D. It is ignored by the researchers. 68. What can be learned from paragraph 3? A. CRP levels naturally rise along with the increase of age. B. The bullies are not to blame for the health risks of the bullied. C. The bullies had higher levels of CRP than the bullied. D. The levels of CRP of the children once bullied are higher than their peers. 69. What might be Copeland’s attitude towards the bullies’ behavior? A. disapproving B. defensive C. respectful D. supportive 70. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Bullying is beneficial to the bullies. B. CRP levels reflect the risks of poorer health. C. Bullying leads to high CRP levels. D. Bullying has lasting harmful effects on a person.
