 Each year，we are exposed to ten thousand ads on average. They try to sell us their products by using beautiful art，videos，logos or logans that are catchy. The most famous companies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody. For those of you who have seen the movie Finding Forrester，there is that scene where Jamal walks up to some guy with a BMW and asks him what the car logo means. The man did not know the answer and since that day，afterwards, whenever I saw a famous company logo I tried to find the meaning of it. 

Many think the horse on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. The story behind it is far more interesting. During World War I, a pilot，Count Francesco Barraca, painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck. He had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron (空军中队)．Barraca’s mother then convinced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930s to bring good luck to the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever since. The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari.

Starbucks started in 1971，in Seattle. The mermaid (美人鱼) represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female，the only difference being that they have a tail of a fish. The reason why Starbucks incorporated one in their company logo is that it was believed mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships. In the 1500s，spices，tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade. So the mermaid in the logo of Starbucks is the one that “brings” coffee and tea to the stores.

British psychologists have found evidence of a link between excessive （过度的） Internet use and depression, a research has shown．

Leeds University researchers, writing in the Psycho pathology journal, said a small part of Internet users were classed as Internet addicts and that people in this group were more likely to be depressed than non-addicted users．

The article on the relationship between excessive Internet use and depression is from a questionnaire-based study of 1，319 young people and adults．

The respondents answered questions about how much time they spent en the Internet and what they used it for; they also completed the Beck Depression Inventory—a series of questions designed to measure the seriousness of depression．

The six-page report, by the university's Institute of Psychological Sciences, said 18 of the people who completed the questionnaire were Internet addicts．

"Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but hat we don't know is which comes first—adepressed! people drawn to the Internet or does he Internet cause depression?^ the article's lead author Dr Catriona Morrison said．"What is leadis that, for s small part of peoples, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning signal or depressive tendencies．"

The age range of all respondent? was between 16 and 51 years, with an average age of 1．24．The average age of the 18 Internet addicts was 18．3 years．By comparing the levels of depression within this group to that within a group of 18 non-addicted Internet users, researchers found the Internet addicts had a higher chance of developing depression than non-addicts．They also discovered that addicts spent more time visiting sexually pleasing websites, online gaming sites and online communities．

"The public speculation （推测） was further proved by this study．That's to say, over-engaging in websites which serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction," Morrison said "We now need to consider the wider social influences of this relationship and clearly prove the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health．”

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my  16    , it was the same score.

Later that evening, I   17   told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agreed that we knew our   18   much better than an IQ (智商) test. We   19   that Michael’s score must have been a   20   and we should treat him   21   as usual.

We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got   22   grades in the school, especially   23   biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.

Michael   24   Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student. Soon afterwards, his teacher permitted him to take more courses than   25  . In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.

On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I   26   the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the   27   IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say   28  , “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the   29   we had in him.

Interestingly, Michael then   30   another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had 31     the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be   32  .

  16   Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.

The ridge（隆起）structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by a new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.   17  Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.

Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can be recorded easily.  18   Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain.   19  . When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.    20  Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.

A. Special techniques are used to “develop” them.

B. A fingerprint is an impression of the ridge structure.

C. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.

D. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.

E. Some criminals may leave their fingerprints at the scene of a crime.

F. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.

G. Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.

Working outside the International Space Station （ISS）, an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris（碎片）that damages his spacesuit．Alarmed, he realizes he’s just seconds from disaster．Moving fast, his prepared robot partner slaps（拍打）an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit．Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS．Inside, the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker’s life controls everything the robot avatar has done — including rescuing its human partner — while it works outside the space station．

R2:The Real Deal

A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers, whether they’re as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base．Space-travelling avatars, controlled remotely by humans are still a concept．But earlier in the year 2011, NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time．It’s called R2, short for Robonaut 2．The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested．

NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts．“Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,” says NASA’s Matt Ondler．R2 is controlled by humans using laptops． It’s programmed to perform a number of small tasks, such as “find an object．” In most situations, humans are still far better with their hands than robots．But that’s not necessarily true in space, where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves．And since they don’t need to eat, breathe, or go to the bathroom, robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs．

R2 isn’t ready for spacewalks yet, but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible．“Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D’s: jobs that are dirty, dull, and dangerous,” says Ondler．

To The Moon

Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon．Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human．A robot is stronger, can survive in tighter spaces, and doesn’t need air．Even better, robots don’t care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth．

Once on the moon, the robonaut could perform experiments, send live video back to Earth, talk to classrooms full of kids, and explore the lunar surface．R2 will be able to move using legs, or by attaching its torso（躯干）to a four-wheeled rover（探测器） and becoming part of vehicle．And when R2’s battery is low, it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice．All in all, a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!

The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself．But for difficult tasks, a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game．NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions．So the next time your mom complains that you’re spending too much time on video games, just tell her you’re training for a job with NASA．

51．In paragraph1, the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident to           ．

       A．stress the danger of an astronaut’s walk in space

       B．tell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronaut

       C．show his concern for the present situation of space walk

       D．introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts

52．Why does the writer say Robonaut 2 is “The Real Deal”?

       A．It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs．

       B．It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D’s．

       C．It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings．

       D．It proves to be a good companion for space travelers．

53．By saying“All in all, a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!”, the writer means that           ．

       A．an ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings

       B．an ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth

       C．a future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover

       D．a future robot is stronger and will handle any difficulty in space easily

54．It can be learned from the passage that            ．

       A．the future R2 will perform experiments without human control

       B．humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space

       C．someday humans might control an avatar on the moon

       D．sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot

Learning a second language fuels children’s intelligence and makes their job prospects brighter.    36    the fact is, in U.S.A, as in many other English speaking countries, speakers of two or more languages are in the    37   . Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual (speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who    38    to speak two or more languages.

No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything     39    English is a marker of difference here. That’s why fourteen-year-old Umar is    40    when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umar’s mother points out: “In U.S.A, it’s not    41    for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to   42   society.”

But in fact, the general    43    among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals – people who speak     44    languages – have a clear learning advantage    45    their monolingual schoolmates. This    46    on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used,    47    they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.

Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: “A lot of studies have   ___48__  that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more    ___49   , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.”

The view is that there is a(n)    50    from the effort of learning another language. A few other    51    agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also    ____52__ greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”.

With all of the benefits, why do we not show more    53    for learning other languages? Parents and teachers    54    in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general    55    to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.

    Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered drivers to resist the temptation to take revenge (报复) on uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the tensions of driving. A friendly nod or a wave of appreciation in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such appreciation of politeness is too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

   However, misplaced politeness can be dangerous. Typical example are the drivers who brakes violently to allow a car to came out of a side street at some danger to following traffic; or the man who wave a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they like to.

   An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to move correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the less obvious points of driving perfectly. Years ago the experts warned us that an explosion in car-ownership would demand a lot more give and take from all road users. It’s high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

32. According to the passage, the role of politeness can _______.

   A. help us learn about traffic rules

   B. reduce the pleasure of driving

   C. make our life happier than others’

   D. resist the temptation to take revenge on uncivilized behavior

33. By “good sense” in the first paragraph, the writer means ________.

   A. the driver’s ability to understand politeness and react reasonably

   B. the driver’s immediate response to terrible road conditions

   C. the driver’s skill of controlling his or her car in extreme situations

   D. the driver’s ability of driving safely in traffic jams

34. Which of the following is NOT misplaced politeness?

   A. The driver lets old ladies cross the road when they want to.

   B. The driver responses to an act of politeness in a friendly way.

   C. The driver suddenly stops to permit a car to come from a side street.

   D. The driver waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of dangerous

oncoming vehicles.

35. In the writer’s opinion, ___________.

   A. strict traffic regulations are badly needed

   B. drivers should apply road politeness properly

   C. rude drivers should be punished

   D. drivers should avoid traffic jams

Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals.

Evan Lutz is enthusiastic about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with enthusiasm for business, Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and sells “ugly” produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections.

So I’ll give you an example.” Lutz says, “ If you go to a grocery store you will see all the produce lineup shiny, perfect, of the same size and color. But on a farm, everything doesn’t grow the same way. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way often gets thrown out. And what we do is take all that normally gets thrown out because of its odd size or shape, box it up and deliver it to our customers once a week.”

For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came from his upbringing.

“When I was growing up my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn’t just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We lire people that were formerly in prison or were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.”

Evan Lutz is really happy to be realizing great mission that he thinks can really revolutionize the food industry in America.

25. The social injustice in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that_______.

   A. vegetables and fruits that don’t taste good get wasted.

   B. much produce gets wasted while many Americans starve

   C. grocery stores only sell produce of the same size

   D. poor Americans can not afford healthy food

26. What business does Hungry Harvest mainly do?

   A. Deliver food for free

   B. Raise money for the poor

   C. Collect “ugly” produce and sell it.

   D. Buy “ugly” produce and process it.

27. Why does Evan Lutz hire those people mentioned in Paragraph 5?

   A. To lower labor costs    B To increase productivity

   C. To offer them a job     D. To enjoy a better reputation

28. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

   A. Creating More Jobs for the Less Fortunate

   B. Putting Healthy Food on Dinner Table

   C. Making Profits from Shiny Produce

   D. Giving Unused Produce a Purpose

With the year coming to an end, a vacation is inescapable. Travelling in winters is never easy. Though air travel might sound as the most convenient way for winter travel, it also has its own shortcomings. The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans.    36   We bring to you tips to keep in mind if you are air travelling in winters.

Early flights are on time

Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day.    37   Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delay, the best way to avoid it is to fly early.

   38   

Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights. Some airlines work in association with its partner airlines. In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed you can ask for a seat in the partner airline, provided that your airline supports it.

Join a club

   39   When your flight gets delayed for hours you can access those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the terminal. Also, accessing to different travel agents is easier from the clubs as they assist you with various options available.

Consider a travel agent

At times when you are stuck with situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled, instead of dealing directly with the airline staff, it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent.    40   

A. Remember to phone bravely

B. Partner airlines can help

C. A member of a club is the best choice for most flyers on the whole

D. Flights get cancelled or delayed beyond what you have to deal with

E. Though you would have to wake up very early, yet it would rid you of a lot of troubles.

F. Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues so you needn’t solve the issues yourself.

G. Joining a club will surely make you pay some money, but if you are a frequent flyer, it is the best choice for you

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock(有现货的), the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

46. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ______.

　A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear

　B. he buys whatever he likes without considering its value

　C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

　D. he often buys things without giving the matter proper thought.

47. What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?

　A. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.

　B. He usually does not buy anything.

　C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.

　D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

48. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

A pill that creates the desire to exercise?

Scientists have discovered a compound that could make sit-ups and StairMasters as attractive as snacks and the sofa.

36．   Obesity-related conditions (heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer) comprise (包含) the nation’s leading causes of death. When it comes to the competition between food and exercise, food clearly wins the blue ribbon.

But it’s not for lack of desire. Type in “motivation to exercise” in Google and prepare yourself for 61,900,000 results. It’s just hard to get into the rhythm of going to the gym. So hard, in fact, that people often opt (挑选) for wacky (古怪的) weight loss fads (黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸) (diet goggles, anyone?) and questionable diets instead (hello, feeding tube diet).   37．

But as researchers are struggling to create safe and effective weight loss drugs, what if there was a pill to make you want to work out?    38．    A team of Swiss researchers found that when a hormone in the brain called erythropoietin (Epo) was elevated (提升) in mice, the mice were more motivated to exercise.

“Here we show that Epo increases the motivation to exercise,” said Max Gassmann, D.V.M., a researcher involved in the work from the Institute of Veterinary (兽医的) Physiology, Vetsuisse-Faculty and Zurich Center for Integrative (综合的) Human Physiology at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

Pop a pill and champ at the bit to hit the gym?   39．   , obviously, but also mental health disorders for which exercise is known to improve symptoms.

“If you can’t put exercise in a pill, then maybe you can put the motivation to exercise in a pill instead,” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal, which published the research.

“As more and more people become overweight and obese, we must attack the problem from all angles. Maybe the day will come when gyms are as easily found as fast-food restaurants.”

As children，we grow up thinking that our parents are heroes and perfect，but as time goes on we come to realize that they are just as human as we are. However，a change in your knowledge of your father doesn^’t have to be the end of your strong connection to him.

*  36   You thought that you knew exactly who your father was. Now that something has changed that，you feel shock and loss. Whatever has caused this change in your knowledge has caused your father to never be the same in your life.   37 

 * Handle the anger. When the shock of this change of view wears off，you may slide into anger. Feeling angry at this point is natural but it is important that you deal with it appropriately and constructively. You don^’t want to damage your other relationships，for example.

* Take some time to look in the mirror. This is a time for self-reflection. Has your father really changed? If so，why are his changes so hard for you to accept compared to those of other people in your life？  38 

* Communicate. When you have a firm handle on your emotions，you need to communicate

With your father. You need to speak to him about how you are dealing with this big change.  39   He may not even be aware of the change，because to himself he is simply human. Discuss things honestly.

   * Rebuild. The relationship you and with your father as a child is gone.   40   Accept that it is gone and start building a different relationship with him. If you give it a chance，your new relationship will be truer，deeper and more loving than the one you had before.

A. Does it make sense to hold on to your childish belief that he is perfect ?

B. Acknowledge the shock.

C. Most importantly，you need listen to him.

D. Speak to a third party to get a different point of view of him.

E. The longer you hold on to it，the harder it will be to build something new.

F. Ignoring or hiding from your pain isn^’t going to help anything.

G. A father is the first male relationship we have in our lives and so is part of who we are.
