It has attracted nearly 300 international brands. Like Prada and Rolex, it is the first time they have appeared in a DFS on the Chinese mainland.Ok, before you start your shopping, you should know the following information. 1. Who is allowed to shop at Sanya DFS?Domestic and foreign visitors who are above 16 years old, and will fly out of Hainan Island, but not in an outbound (出国的) travel, including Hainan residents. 2. How to shop?Domestic visitors can buy things at the store with ID cards and their flight numbers. Foreign visitors have to show their passports or other valid documents, along with flight numbers.You can choose to take the goods with you after the buying. However, you have to remember that, if you choose to fly from Haikou Meilan International Airport, you have to finish your purchase one day ahead of your flight time.3. How many items can you buy at one time?The unit price of the goods you bought should be no more than 8,000 RMB ($1,302), and the total price of all the goods you bought should be no more than 8,000 RMB.For the goods with a price of more than 8,000 RMB, each visitor can only buy one piece at a time.4. How many times can you buy per year?For Hainan residents, you can enjoy the tax-free purchase once a year. For non-Hainan residents, it is twice a year.21. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_.A. flying oftenB. buying brandsC. keeping healthyD. traveling abroad22. We can infer from the text that shopping at Sanya DFS _. A. goods are available any timeB. one can buy as much as you likeC. Hainan residents are free to buy thingsD. Non-Hainan shoppers will enjoy more benefits23. What should people keep in mind shopping at Sanya DFS?A. Use cash.B. Carry flight numbers.C. Buy expensive goods.D. Spend more than 8,000 RMB.24. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Travel in SanyaB. Ways of Shopping in SanyaC. Dont You Like Sanya DFS?D. Guides for duty-free shopping in SanyaBBeing a quitter isnt being someone who gives up, who doesnt see important things through to the end. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when theres no value to be added, or when that value comes at the cost of something more important.I want to quit doing things that Im asked to do, for no other reason than Im asked to do it. I want to be able to give up something halfway, because I realize theres nothing good coming from it.A friend of mine once told me that “I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.“Though it sounds strange, we all tend to do this. Were doing something, realize we dont want to be a part of it, but keep on it. We say“well, Ive already spent so much time on this; I might as well stick it out.”However, I dont think so. If youre reading a book, and dont like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. If youre working on a project at work that isnt going anywhere, but youve already given much time to it, quit. Take the time gained by giving up the useless project, and put it toward something of value. Instead of reading a whole book you hate, read 1/2 a bad one and 1/2 a good one. Isnt that a better use of your time?By quitting these things, youll free up time to do things that actually do create value, for yourself and for others. Youll have time to read all the great books out there, or at least a couple more. Youll be able to begin to put your time and effort into the things youd actually like to do.25. What kind of quitter does the author want to be?A. He wont ask others for help.B. He likes to give up doing something.C. He prefers to do something important.D. Hell stop doing something he thinks useless.26. The author wishes to stop things . A. if he is too tiredB. if he is forced to do themC. if he has no interest in themD. if he knows a lot more about them27. How does the author find continuing to read a book he hates? A. Its a waste of time. B. Its a way to cut losses. C. Its worth doing sometimes. D. Its hard to say if its right or wrong.28. Whats the advantage of quitting unnecessary things? A. Having more time to rest. B. Being able to read more books. C. Avoiding doing what others do. D. Having more chances to do valuable things.CSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the RoadReported by Sheila CarrickWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill.“Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animals overpass!29. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that _.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents30. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _.A. a pass for animals to cross the roadB. a bridge for animals to get over a river C. a fence built for the safety of the areaD. an underground path for cars31. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means _.A. animals are increasing in numberB. animals are crossing the road in groupsC. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesD. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadDThe best anti-aging technique could be standing up, scientists believe, after discovering that spending more time on two feet protects DNA. A study found that too much sitting down shortens telomeres, which protect chromosomes (染色体).Short telomeres have been linked to premature aging, disease and early death. So spending less time on the sofa could help people live longer by preventing their DNA from aging.The research found that people who were frequently on their feet had longer telomeres, which were keeping the genetic code safe from wear and tear.Surprisingly, taking part in more exercise did not seem to have an effect on telomere length.Prof Mai-Lis Hellenius, from Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, said:“In many countries formal exercise may be increasing, but at the same time people spend more time sitting.”There is growing concern that not only low physical activity but probably also the behavior of sitting long is an important and new health danger of our time.“We think that a reduction in sitting hours is of greater importance than an increase in exercise time for aging people.”Telomeres stop chromosomes from aging. Scientists say that lifespan is connected with the length of telomeres.Researchers looked at 50 overweight adults who often sit long in their late sixties and measured the length of the telomeres in their blood cells.Half of them had been part of an exercise program that lasted six months, while the other half had not.The study revealed that although people who did more exercise tended to be healthier, the most important factor was how much time they spent sitting down.Scientists found that the less time a person spent sitting, the longer their telomeres, and the greater their chance of living longer.32. Which describes the fact correctly?(T: telomeres C: chromosomes)A. Longer TBetter CLonger lifespanB. Shorter TBetter CShorter lifespanC. Longer TWorse CBetter healthD. Shorter TWorse CWorse health33. What is the finding of the research?A. One can keep fit by sitting more.B. Exercise will stop you from aging.C. Standing may be good for your health.D. Physical activities are bad for the old. 34. The underlined word “them” refers to “ ”.A. researchers B. overweight adultsC. telomeresD. blood cells35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To present a research result.B. To solve a scientific problem. C. To introduce some aging people.D. To explain a biological phenomenon. 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。Smart phones have recently become our close friends.
