Raising free-range cattle is eco-friendly.B. People cut down trees for animal habitats.C. Producing beef can damage the environment.D. Carbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane.22.The underlined word “dire” in Para.4 means .A. urgent B. monC. typical D. avoidable23.Beef production is growing rapidly because .A. more people are in demand of beefB. developing countries raise more cattleC. more land is available to raise cattleD. the cost of raising cattle is relatively low24.The author writes this article to .A. describe the booming of the beef productionB. emphasize the advantages of beef productionC. condemn the deforestation of the rain forestD. argue for a decrease in beef consumptionHave you ever been to the worlds smallest bookstore?The Worlds Smallest Bookstore, whose official name is just these three words, sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto.The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet，so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is. The bookstore is open 24 hours a day. Inside the bookstore are various books, especially literary books and classic authors works. So if you are looking for something less popular, you may get a bit disappointed there.Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars. All the expenses are paid on the honor system, which means buyers should make a note of what theyve bought and leave their money by themselves. So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens, papers, light bulbs and a label-maker.In order to catch passers-bys attention, the billboards (广告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself. With these large eye-catchers, many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.25.Whats the passage mainly about?A. The popular books nowadays.B. A strange way of selling books.C. The worlds smallest bookstoreD. The popular bookstores in the world.26.Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?A. Books on popular science.B. Books on economic control.C. The year book of a university.D. Literary books.27.How could you buy a book from the store?A. Choose the book(s) and leave the money there.B.

Pay on the net and then get the book(s) in the store.COne of Indias top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of panionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough petition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be mon among IIT students, and at least nine have mitted suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbais 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.28.According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to _.A. perform well in studies B. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates better D. feel lonely and even suicidal29.The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_”.A. unpopular B. meaningfulC. abnormal D. exciting30.What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.31.We may infer from the last paragraph that _.A. all electronics students hate the banning orderB. some students plain about the banning orderC. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever sinceD. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the InternetDBiologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct, because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar behavior is found in some other animals. In humans the purpose of all the desire is to focus attention on the raising of offspring. Children demand an unusual amount of parenting, and two parents are better than one. Love is a signal that both partners are mitted, and makes it more likely that this mitment will continue as long as necessary for children to reach independence. But what does science have to say about the notion of love at first sight?In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love. Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love, a dozen different part of brain work together to release chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria, bonding and excitement. It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with pair-bonding love.Passionate love is rooted in the reward circuitry of the brainthe same area that is active when humans feel a rush from cocaine. In fact, the desire, motivations and withdrawals involved in love have a great deal in mon with addiction. Its most intense forms tend to be associated with the early stages of a relationship, which then give way to a calmer attachment form of love one feels with a long term partner.What all this means is that one special person can bee chemically rewarding to the brain of another. Love at first sight, then, is only possible if the mechanism for generating long-term attachment can be triggered quickly. There are signs that it can be. One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a second how attractive they find another person. This decision appears to be related to facial attractiveness, although men may favor women with waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, no matter what their overall weight is. (This ratio may indicate a womans reproductive health.)Another piece of evidence es from work by a psychologist at Ben-Gurion University, who found in a survey that a small percentage (11%) of people in long-term relationships said that they began with love at first sight. In other words, in some couples the initial favorable impressions of attractiveness triggered love which sustained a lengthy bond. It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period, and popular culture tells many tales of friends who bee lovers.One might also assume that if a person is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly, such as passion, intellect or a good sense of humor, then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight. Those more concerned with visual appearances, though, might find this easier. So it appears that love at first sight exists, but is not a very mon basis for long-term relationships.32.When a person falls in love, _.A. he feels as if he were addicted to cocaine.B. he will be mitted to the beloved as long as necessary.C. he will experience plex feelings brought on by different regions of his brain.D. he will experience a calmer attachment form of love before he feels the extreme love.33.We can infer from the passage that _.A. pair-bonding love es from a long stable friendship.B. the mechanism for creating long-term attachment ensures love at first sightC. it is impossible for those ordinary-looking people to fall in love at first sight.D. men may be attracted by a girl whose figure suggests her admirable reproductive capacity.34.The underlined word “traits” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. characteristicsB. something typical in your temperC. particular quantities in your personalityD. attitudes that show your moral standards35.Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. The stages of passionate loveB. The science of love at first sightC. The biological construct of pair-bondingD. The mechanism for generating long-term love第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Overe DepressionSuffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month.
