Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants（污染物）can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.60. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _.Aindoor air pollution can often make people seriously illBthere may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsCthe air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful Dman-made building materials give off dangerous gases 61. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _.Aevery modern house Bevery old house Call kinds of housesDall kinds of offices62. The indoor air pollution is caused by _.Athe building way that the builders want to save energy Bthe man-made building materials and the limit of air-flowCthe building things that are made of man-made materialsDthe limit of the flow of air between inside and outside63. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _.Aplants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsBplants may take in more oxygen which people needCplants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals Dplants can make our houses prettier and more healthyCNo one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.Lets take a man well call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didnt make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention.A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in todays world. 64. What probably led to the start of advertisement?A. The discovery of iron.B. The development of farming techniques. C. The specialization of labor. D. The appearance of new jobs. 65. The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to _. A. explain the origin of advertising B. predict the future of advertising C. provide suggestions for advertising D. expose problems in advertising 66. In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who _. A. functioned like todays TV or radio commercial B. owned a ship C.had the loudest voice D. ran a shop selling goods to farmers 67. The last two paragraphs are mainly about _. A. the basic design of advertising B. the early forms of advertising C. the benefits of advertising D. the history of advertising DMichael J. “Crocodile Dundee” (also called Mick), played by Paul Hogan, is the main character in the fictional Crocodile Dundee film series consisting of Crocodile Dundee, Crocodile Dundee II, and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. The character is a crocodile hunter, hence the nickname.In the first film, Crocodile Dundee, Mick is visited by a New York reporter, Sue Charlton, who travels to Australia to investigate a report she heard of a crocodile hunter, who had his leg bitten off by a crocodile in the outback. The hunter supposedly walked more than a hundred miles back to civilization and miraculously survived his injuries. However, by the time she meets him, the story turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated legend where the “bitten-off leg” turns out to be just being some bad scarring on his leg; a “love bite” as Mick calls it. Still interested by the idea of “Crocodile Dundee”, Sue continues with the story. They travel together out to where the incident occurred, and follow his route through the bush to the nearest hospital. Despite his old-fashioned views, the pair eventually become close, especially after Mick saves Sue from a crocodile attack. Feeling there is still more to the story, Sue invites Mick back to New York with her, as his first trip to a city (or “first trip anywhere,” as Dundee says). The rest of the film depicts Dundee as a “fish out of water,” showing how, despite his expert knowledge of living outdoors, he knows little of city life. Mick meets Sues boyfriend, Richard, but they do not get along. By the end of the film, Mick is on his way home, lovesick, when Sue realizes she loves Mick, too, and not Richard. She runs to the subway station to stop Mick from leaving and, by passing on messages through the packed-to-the-gills crowd, she tells him she wont marry Richard, and she loves him instead. With the help of the other people in the subway, Mick and Sue have a loving reunion as the film ends.68. Which of the following statements is true about Mick?A. He is a crocodile hunter living in Los Angeles.B. He is based on a real person in Australia.C. He wrote a film series about himself.w w w . D. He got his nickname because of his job.69. In the film Crocodile Dundee, Mick _.A. pretends he was bitten by a crocodileB. urges Sue Charlton to write his life storyC. shows Sue Charlton around the town he lives in D. hasnt been abroad before his trip to America70. When in New York, Mick _.A. makes friends with RichardB. makes full use of his bush skillsC. doesnt know how to fit into city life D. feels excited about living in a big city第卷(非选择题, 共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分)注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。Until just a few years ago，we doctors believed that the brain stopped making new neural(神经系统的)connections (meaning that your memory began to get worse)when the body stopped developing，usually in your early 20s. And we knew that，like any other body part，neurons weaken as we age. Loss of brain function due to neural breakdown was assumed to be a normal，unavoidable part of aging.It turns out that we were wrong. In the past few years，it has been discovered that you can，in fact，make new neurons starting in your 20s and continuing well into old age. You can literally rewire the brain with new parts as the older parts wear out. How？Simple：Keep learning. Just as your body can pack on and condition new muscle，your brain can rebuild used-up neurons.How strong is the evidence for this？Strong enough that a $200 million industry devoted to brain boosting software (products like Brain Age，MindFit，and Lumosity that supposedly improve your memory function)has sprung up out of nowhere. All“mental fitness”means are keeping your memory intact(everything from phone numbers to how to throw a football)So what can you do to stay smart?Keep blood pressure down. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop cognitive impairment later in life.Eat more vitamins. Like E(in nuts and sunflower seeds)，B6 and B12(beef，tuna)，and folic acid(leafy greens，citrus，berries)，which help keep your brains chemistry in balance.Exercise your brain. This is the best way to rebuild and strengthen those precious neurons. Learn to play chess or the guitar. When youre at a stoplight，try to recall the starting lineup of the 1983 Celtics. See a movie that doesnt feature Ben Stiller. Or read，like，a book.Title：How to keep the 71._smart？Previous 72._The brain no longer makes new neural connections once the 73._ of ones body has stopped.New 74. _New neurons continue to occur even in ones old age.75._contributes to the development of the new parts of your brain.Many products which claim to improve your brain function appear in the 76._.77._Keep yourself away from 78._blood pressure.79._in more vitamins for the needs of your brain.80._your brain as much as you can.第五部分 书面表达(满分25分)阅读下面短文，按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的短文BEIJING, August 19 Shanghai will launch a pilot textbook recycling scheme in secondary schools from this fall semester to reduce textbook paper consumption, the Shanghai Education Commission revealed yesterday.The first batch of textbooks to be recycled or reused will be middle school music material.
