But as the weather has got colder, she has become lazier. She has bought a mist spray, which allows her to wash her hair less often. I would also like to have a product that could save me the trouble of putting on makeup, she told Orient Today, a publication attached to Henan Television. She is not the only young Chinese who spends money on lazy economy products. The so-called lazy economy refers to a new type of consumption of products and services which are designed to save time and labor. According to the report, many people of the post-1995 generation buy high-tech electronic devices such as floor mopping robots and automatic window cleaners, which save the trouble of doing household chores. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery services are also popular among people born after 1995. Young people are willing to spend money on such products because they want to enjoy hard-earned leisure time after a busy and stressful day at work or school, reported Global Times. Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people tend to use their leisure time more efficiently. I once had a birthday cake delivered to my friend who lives far from my home. It cost me 50 yuan but it saved me almost half a day that would have been needed to deliver it myself. My friend was also happy because she got to eat the cake instantly, Wei told the Global Times. While the lazy economy might be convenient for young people, it might also create problems. The lazy economy on campus is expressed in things like people buying food or other things without leaving the dormitory. As a result, they stay in their dormitories all day long, playing on computers and smart-phones, a tutor surnamed Wen from Beijing Jiaotong University told China News. According to Jinan Daily, this situation could lead to young people becoming less sociable and even developing problems of communicating with others. Young people should be alert to it. The lazy economy is a choice of lifestyle. While the lazy economy saves time and labor, the saved time should be used to do valuable things, commented Orient Today. All in all, focusing more on important things shouldnt be merely an excuse for laziness.24. Which consumption doesnt belong to the lazy economy？ A. buying a floor mopping robot.B. buying an automatic window cleaner.C. take-out food delivery services.D. playing smart-phones all day long.25. Why is the lazy economy popular among the post-1995 generation？ A. Because they are rich and like high-tech electronic devices.B. Because they want to set aside money.C. Because they tend to spend their spare time more efficiently.D. Because they would like to save time and labor for more housework.26. What can be inferred from the statement of Wen from Beijing Jiaotong University？ A. The lazy economy has both advantages and disadvantages.B. Young people should notice the potential danger of lazy economy.C. The post-1995 generation spend their leisure time on valuable things.D. Lazy economy may lead to young people becoming less sociable27. What is the authors attitude towards the lazy economy？ A. Doubtful.B. Unknown.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.CFor the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a light-hearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to deep thinking for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature! The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes, I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing Im Singing in the Rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result, we restrain（抑制）our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress. Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city center. If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.28. Why did the author feel depressed according to the passage？ A. She couldnt consume her waking hour.B. She had not seen a film for a long time.C. She had not finished her work on time.D. She had worked on a hard job for too long29. The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to _ .A. take photos B. find a solution to the projectC. hop along the path D. cheer herself up30. Which of the following can be equal to the underlined part to no avail in Paragraph 1？ A. unsuccessful. B. unrelated. C. uninteresting. D. unexpected.31. In the authors opinion, _ .A. playing with a child can make people relaxedB. depression is usually caused by hard workC. walking in a busy city center harms peoples healthD. adults should express their inner feelings occasionallyDLouis Pasteur was a world-famous French chemist and biologist. He is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine（狂犬病疫苗）. The rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva（唾液）entering an existing wound. After experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, Pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. By studying the tissues of infected animals - rabbits, Pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. This could be used for inoculation（接种）. On July 6, 1885, Pasteur tested his pioneering rabies vaccine on a man for the first time. He saved the life of a young man called Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. Pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. The treatment lasted 10 days and at the end he recovered and remained healthy. Since then thousands have been saved by this treatment. On March 1886, Pasteur was invited to present his results to the Academy of Sciences and in 1888 went on to found the Pasteur Institute in Paris. This was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. Pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. The Pasteur Institute is still one of the most important centers in the world. Pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. He died at Saint-Cloud on September 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Modifications（修改）of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. A newer vaccine which contains virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.32. A person can develop rabies _ .A. if he is bitten by a rabbit B. if he touches infected salivaC. if infected saliva enters his wounds D. if he touches an infected animal33. What can we learn about Pasteurs test of his vaccine on the man？ _ A. The man was sent to a clinic ten days later.B. It didnt save the mans life.C. It proved to be a great success.D. The man was his second patient.34. After Pasteur died, the Pasteur Institute _ .A. worked much better than before B. worked well until todayC. continued to be in business for many yearsD. became the most important centre in the world35. What can we infer from the last paragraph？ _ A. Pasteurs rabies vaccine is out of date.B. A new rabies vaccine has already been tested on patients.C. Injections of vaccine still take much time.D. Much improvement has been made on rabies vaccine.第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题,每小题2分，满分10.0分）Four Habits to Help You SucceedNobody would like to experience failure. We all want to succeed.
