I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.

Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep(陡峭)stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase(楼梯). I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.

Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.

Such well mannered people are hard to find these days, when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(骑士精神).

Time is very important in our lives. It   41    our moments. However, time never had any    42   in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more    43  .

 On the broad landing between Miss Havisham's own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out, I saw a garden chair -- a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind. It had been placed there since my last visit, and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room, and across the landing and round the other room, which, from that day on, became my regular job.

    As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe, my sister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she might offer some help. But, she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer my being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money - or anything but my daily dinner - nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.

    Estella was always about, and always let me in and out, but never told me I might kiss her again. Sometimes, she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes, she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes, she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes, she would tell me energetically that she hated me. Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper, or when we were alone, “Does she grow prettier and prettier, Pip?” And when I said yes, Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily. Also, when we played at cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella's moods, whatever they were. And sometimes, when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do, Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness, saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy!”

24. What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?

A. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.     B. He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder.

C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.            D. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.

25. What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe, his sister’s husband.

B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.

C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.

D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.

26. What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?

A. Changeable             B. Sincere            C. Warm-hearted        D. Indifferent

27. Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because _______.

A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip.            B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods.

C. she thought Estella did something right.                  D. she treated Estella like her own daughter.

For those who have no access to clean water, the phrase “a thirst for knowledge” may soon have a new meaning. Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can make water safe to drink. The researchers say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world.

An estimated 600 to 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean. The water is infected with harmful bacteria or other pollutants. But researcher Teri Dankovich has developed a special book that could turn dirty water into clean, drinkable water. The book contains 25 pages. Each page is about one millimeter thick. The pages contain very small particles (微粒) of silver. The pages can be used as filters (过滤器) to remove harmful microorganisms that can pollute drinking water. The filter kills the organisms that pass through it. Ms. Dankovich says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water. Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read. The pages are made of filter paper. They are designed to be torn from the book. Water can be poured through the paper to be decontaminated.

Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh, Ghana and South Africa. The tests proved to be successful. At the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Ms. Dankovich was asked whether she has considered adding classic literature on the book’s pages. “The idea of classical texts – that’s of interest maybe later. But we have discussed a little bit more exciting text. But we really haven’t had the time to go through that part,” she laughed.

Water for Life, a non-governmental organization, has provided financial support for the project. It costs just pennies per page to produce each book.

28. How does the book help people get clean water?     

A. The tiny metal particles on the pages remove the pollution.

B. Its pages can produce small particles when dropped into water.

C. It contains knowledge of water cleaning on each of the pages.

D. It carries information about the harm caused by dirty water.

29. The underlined word “decontaminated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean______.

A. tested             B. boiled                C. absorbed                D. cleaned

30. What can we infer about the drinkable book with classical texts?

A. It will be available soon.

B. It’s a joke to the researchers.

C. It’s a waste of time to do research on them.

D. It has not been on the researchers’ schedule.

31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Book pages providing safe drinking water.

B. Water pollution in developing countries.

C. Books designed to improve people’s lives.

D. A new test carried out successfully.

 Realizing he had wasted much of his precious time, the boy decided to work hard to _____

Before Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast of the United States, it had killed 54 people in Haiti and left tens of thousands more homeless. Haiti is especially tender because of its underdevelopment, so people die there—as they did during the earthquake in January 2010—in greater numbers than they would in other countries subject to the same natural disasters.

But there is one disaster that was brought to Haiti directly by people, now by nature. It was not caused by extreme weather. That disaster is the cholera that struck Haiti two years ago.

Most people I talk to don’t even know that United Nations troops brought this deadly disease to Haiti in October of 2010. There hadn’t been any cholera in Haiti for at least 100 years, if ever, until some UN troops from /south Asia poured human waste into a branch of the country’s main water supply. Since then, more than 7,600 Haitians have died and over 600,000 have gotten sick.

However, the UN is still denying its responsibility, despite studies published by the New England Journal of Medicine, tracking the origin of Haiti’s cholera bacteria to UN soldiers. A study by a team of 15 scientists last year produced even more conclusive evidence, using whole genome sequence typing (基因系列归类) and two other methods that matched the cholera strain in Haiti to a sample from Nepal that was taken at the time when the Nepalese UN troops arrived in the country. In short, there is proof beyond reasonable doubt that the UN mission is responsible fro bringing this disease to Haiti.

So there is one obvious source of money fro ridding the country of cholera, but so far, only about 53% of the $5.35 billion promised by international donors has been delivered. For the US government, it is just 27%, or $ 250 millions. If these governments want to help the UN fix the mess that they created, they should have already committed the funds to do so.

57.       By mentioning the hurricane and earthquake happening in Haiti in Paragraph 1, the author implies________.

A. natural disasters are unmerciful

B. many deaths could have been avoided

C. Haitians are easy to become victims in face of disasters

D. America should be responsible for them

58.       How does the author show the origin of Haiti’s cholera bacteria?

A. By providing supporting evidences.                      B. By analyzing the results.

C. By making further investigations.                           D. By challenging the UN.

59.       How much money should the American government have offered to Haiti?

A. 2.84 billion dollars.      B. 925 million dollars.        C. 67.5 million dollars.        D. 250 million dollars.

60.       What does the author write the passage most probably for?

A. To introduce the serious cholera situation in Haiti.

B. To ask for more financial help from UN.

C. To prove the direct cause of Haiti’s cholera outbreak.

D. To condemn the attitude of international community towards Haiti’s cholera.

Half a year ago I came across a book called”Salt,Sugar and Fat. How the Food Giants Hooked US”,but finished it only recently. I am far from being a fan of junk food,over-salty,or over-sweet stuff,and honestly this food doesn’t appeal to me at all. Maybe it is related to the fact that I grew up in Russia and at that time we were not so exposed to the foreign, especially made in America foods. We knew Coca Cola,Pepsi,juice powder and Cheetos,but this stuff was not so cheap or available to buy it every day and we couldn’t buy them in large quantities. We didn’t know the word”fat”was not a bad thing but a normal of life for some people. We always had sweets and especially on holidays they were served as a dessert along with a cake. Russians like eating sweets when they drink tea. Even with my passion to desserts I still can’trelate myself to the people Michale Moss was writing about, those consumers who could not say”no” when it came to junk food.

What I found interesting in the book was that the author didn’t focus on diets, necessity to

exercise,sleep well at night and all other things we all are pretty aware of. The aim was not to teach people how to live but instead,after having made a huge research,interviewed more than 100 people in the food industry,Moss reveals the ugly of the food business. It puts all the facts in front of us and offers a choice:to buy or not to buy. However,the answer was known at the very beginning. Moss mentions the well-known food like Coca,Cola,Pepsi,Nestle and some others and tells how skillfully the consumers can be cheated when it comes to choosing what to put in the food basket in the supermarket. We like this taste of a chocolate,the crispy chips,and sweet porridges because it was all put on test by groups of scientists who made experiments to reveal what kind of taste will be most appealing to us. It involves brain,of course. Apart from scientific researches, it was also due to successful marketing strategies and plans that people prefer to buy food.

In this companies’money race,the most vulnerable(易受伤害的)victims are kids. They can’t tell good from bad and love everything that makes them feel good. Commercial ads of fast food particularly targeted kids and played on the fact that mothers can’t fully control what their children eat because they spent all day at work. Mothers themselves buy chocolates bars and com flakes for their kids,guided by a powerful brainwashing that actually,these products were not unhealthy, on the contrary, it was encouraged to give them to kids, because fat and sugar provide energy, so they are good,right?

   Giving a credit to some food companies, they made attempts to fight the trend, but consumers,who already worked a habit of eating too salty, too fatting and too sweet products,didn’t react to the changes. So the companies returned to the old policy. Surprisingly,such behavior was strongly backed up by the govermment.

I would definitely recommend  reading this book not only to those who struggle in the battle with his addiction to fast food but also people living healthily. It casts light on many things,including how vulnerable we can be in front of corporations and their powerful and accurate marketing strategies.

66. In the book “Salt, Sugar and Fat. How the Food Giants Hooked US”,Moss focused on_____.

More student than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.

But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40%  of students  are  forced   to  work  during  term  time  and  the  figure  increases  to 90% during  vacation periods,” he said.

12. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

  A. It is flexible in length.                       B. It is a time for relaxation.

  C. It is increasingly popular.                    D. It is required by universities.

13. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year______.

  A. are better prepared for college studies        B. know a lot more about their future jobs

  C. are more likely to leave university in debt     D. have a better chance to enter top universities

14. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?

  A. He's puzzled.       B. He's worried.       C. He's surprised.      D. He's annoyed.

15. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

  A. Attend additional courses.                  B. Make plans for the new term.

  C. Earn money for their education.              D. Prepare for their graduate studies.

Tayka Hotel De Sal

Where: Tahua, Bolivia

How much: About $95 a night

Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt — including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses (床垫) and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.

Green Magic Nature Resort

Where: Vythiri, India

How much: About $240 a night

Why it’s cool: Riding a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window — there is no glass! — you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast — the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.

Dog Bark Park Inn B&B

Four simple ways to stay positive

Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.

1. Don’t think a lot about negativity.

Of course. Staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.

It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.    36    However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.

2.      37       

What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least a half a hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine.    38   

3. Be kind to others.

     39   Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face. but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious （传染的）, and your positive attitude may spread among others.

4. Take it one day at a time.

Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day.   40    Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.

A. Eat healthy and stay fit.

B. Take your lunch breaks outside.

C. Don’t worry about what the future may bring.

D. Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.

E. Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.

F. Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.

G. Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.

    Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, bicycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some  41  ---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

    Those who have a passion for   42    high and difficult mountains are often   43   with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to   44  _ cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused,   45   , by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of   46__to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and      47    a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for      48  games as golf and football.   49  there are rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to      50   , but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering  51  to many people. Those who climb mountains are  52   to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more   53   sports, we might think that one big  54   is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be   55  in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face__ 56_ _ by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is  57  teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces   58    are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of   59   . His sport requires high mental and physical
