Passage 2
A healthy amount of sunshine may be the secret to staying young. British scientists have discovered.
Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to(对……的反应)sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study.
Researchers from King’s College London studied 2, 160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres(端粒)---a biological marker of ageing found in DNA. As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible(易受伤害的)to certain illnesses.
But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres—a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.
The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole.
Lead researcher Dr. Brent Richards said, “These results are exciting because they show for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D.” This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.
Professor Tim Spector, a co-author of the report, added, “Although it might sound absurd(荒唐的), it’s possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have ahealthy effect on the general ageing process.
Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 percent of the body’s supply, but lower levels can also be got through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals(粥).
Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease.
( )36. A certain amount of sunshine helps people stay young because _____________________.
A. people feel happy and energetic in the sun
B. sunshine protects people against heart disease
C. vitamin D makes one’s skin look young and healthy
D. vitamin D may help to slow the ageing process
( )37. People get about _____________________ of vitamin D of the body’s supply by eating food.
A. 10% B. 90% C. 80% D. 20%
( )38. From Brent Richards, we know that _____________________.
A. sunlight causes skin cancer to people with high level of vitamin D
B. the study generally has a healthy effect on the general ageing process
C. vitamin D can only be got from fish, eggs and breakfast cereals
D. the higher levels of vitamin D people have, the more slowly people may age
( )39. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Vitamin D can also be gained from food
B. Telomeres are important as they are signs of ageing of the DNA.
C. Sunlight does more good than harm to our health.
D. Sunlight can be dangerous as it causes skin cancer.
( )40. What does passage mainly talk about?
A. Secret of Staying Young B. Vitamin D Helps Slow Ageing
C. Sunlight and Vitamin D D. Sunlight and Health
Passage 3
Have you astonished by the amazing dance “The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting”(《只此青绿》)on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. Along with its perfect performance, the background music which was played by the ancient instrument—Qin was also a highlight.
One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven—string zither(弦), also known as the guqin, one of the four arts—along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition.
At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambience was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance
Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes(回音)from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal(理想的)for playing the guqin. Wang Wei(701—761), a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements(《梅花三弄》), Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank(《平沙落雁》)and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute(《胡笳十八拍》).
Now, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in2003.
( )41. Today, the guqin has _____________________ strings.
A. four B. five C. six D. seven
( )42. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “Ambience” in paragraph3?
A. 演奏技巧 B. 环境氛围 C. 天气状况 D. 弹奏曲目
( )43. According to the passage, playing the guqin _____________________ is a right choice.
A. at a quiet restaurant B. at a welcome party
C. in a peaceful yard with flowers D. on a dark night with rainstorm
( )44. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The guqin has a history of less than 3000 years.
B. The strings mean metal, wood, water, fire and stone.
C. The longest guqin piece is Guangling Verse
D. The guqin is very popular and many people can play it.
( )45. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The guqin and its music B. The guqin and its players.
C. Four Chinese traditional arts. D. The development of guqin music.
Passage 4
Suppose you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game is easy, so not worth the time,” one of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd. You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as a peer pressure(同伴压力), also called peer influence. You will follow a certain kind of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.
We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.
According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate(准确的)in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either on their own or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played by themselves. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are very angry.
Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.
While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So, when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.
( )46. According to the passage, who plays a more important role in a teen’s life?
A. A friend B. A parent C. A teacher D. A doctor
( )47. According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens _____________________.
A. like to play driving games with their friends
B. may take more risks when their friends are around
C. prefer situations where they have time to think
D. are slow in making decisions when they are on their own
( )48. The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean _____________________.
A. when teens avoid possible risks B. when teens have a high temperature
C. when teens lose control over their anger D. when teens make decisions wisely
( )49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Teens like to be different from their peers.
B. Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.
C. Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.
D. Teens think it challenging to get good grades at school.
( )50. Which of the following would be the theme of the passage?
A. Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?
B. Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?
C. Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making
D. Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making

(A)阅读短文,根据短文内容 简略回答76-80题(共10分,每小题2分)
Modesty(谦逊)is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, there is no difference. But the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched on Handan, Zhao. Seeing that Handan was in danger. Prince Pingyuan looked for help from the State of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered.
Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “When did you come here with me? “Three yearsago. ”Mao Sui answered.
“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl(锥子)in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but I haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent. “ said Prince Pingyuan.
“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag and show my talent. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point-the whole awl.” Mao Sui said confidently.
Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his. team, and Mao proved(证明)very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.
However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance(傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.
76. When did the story of Mao Sui happen?
77. Was Mao Sui from Qin or Chu?
78. How long had Mao Sui been there with Prince Pingyuan?
79. Why did Mao Sui recommend himself?
80. According to the writer, how can we show our self-confidence?
Passage 6
With the development of cameras used on mobile phones, the gap(差距)between digital cameras and mobile phone cameras is becoming narrow(窄). Even though you don’t have professional devices(器材), you can also take amazing photos with your mobile phones. After all, it is the person who take good pictures but not the devices. And here are some tips to take a good picture.
Try the rule of thirds
The rule of thirds can make an image(形象)look more professional. You can use the lines on the mobile phone screen to place your subject at one of the crosses formed by the lines. The idea is that your subject is just one part of that, with the background playing more of a role.
Use flash in the daytime
You might think using flash is only for low light situations, but there are certain times when it’s useful in the day. Flash can reduce(减少)shadow(阴影)effects caused by the sun the can give a human subject brighter and clearer skin. It’s only really useful if you’re close up to your subject , though.
Shoot from a low angle
Most people taking photos from their phones do so while standing and at chest(胸部)height simply because it is the most convenient way of taking photographs. Sadly the outcome is basic photos with nothing really standing out(突出). There are more creative techniques out there other than standing and taking pictures, and the outcomes are out of this world. One way of doing this is taking photos from a low angle. This allows you to shoot from a different side. If you put upper side with the camera of your mobile closer to the ground from a low angle to take a photo, it will be better. From this side, the person in the photo will seem to be taller with longer legs.
