of the most violent cyclones in the nations history.from there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement (水泥) floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others.“trees were being knocked over and big branches were put down across the streets, ” mr. svanstrom told swedens expressen newspaper. “we escaped by the skin of our teeth.”mr. svanstrom said they then headed south to brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to perth where they narrowly escaped burning bush fires.the couple then flew to christchurch, new zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude (震级) 6.3 earthquake attacked the city on february 22.mrs. svanstrom said, “when we got there the whole town was like a war zone. we could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to japan.”but days after the svanstroms arrived, tokyo was rocked by japans largest earthquake since records began.“the

added, “i know marriages have to experience some difficulties, but i think we have been through most of them. weve certainly experienced more than our fair share of disasters, but the most important

favourite tv programme. but while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. circadian rhythms-the human bodys own internal clock-have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. they are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.in recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.the latest example, from experts at harvard university in the us, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. researchers found it was easier for people to fib（撒小谎） in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies-especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.“the body clock has a great effect on us all,” says professor jim horne from the sleep research centre at loughborough university. “most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. but the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. thats because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. by early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. one reason may be to ensure we get home safely. when our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”so what effects do circadian rhythms have and whats the best time of day to take advantage of them?31. the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refers to . a. our clocksb. scientists and expertsc. our daily routinesd. circadian rhythms 32. the research referred to in paragraph 3 found that people tend to .a. tell lies when they are tiredb. tell lies if

late afternoon.d. in the early evening.34. what information will the writer probably present following the last paragraph?a. some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.b. examples of how the human body clocks control the body.c. examples of the most suitable time to do different activities.d. an explanation of how the human body clock controls the body.35. what is the best title for the passage?a. rebuild your body clockb. timing is everythingc. sleep more, lie lessd. your time is limitedc google has started google science fair (gsf) 2014, its annual online competition for

desire to do something strange or terrible. however, chances are that you dont act on your impulse（冲动）, but let it pass instead. you know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. now with the publication of important books such as on death and dying and learning to say goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.one of the newest taboos in american society is the topic of fat. unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that americans talk about constantly. its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. the “in” look is thin, not fat. in the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. the thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. the fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. in an image-conscious(注意形象的) society like the u.s., thin is “in”, fat is “out”.its not surprising, then, that millions of americans have become obsessed with staying slim and “in shape”. the pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for americas fascination with diet and exercise. recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. as in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of north americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. as a result of inactivity and disuse, peoples bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. in an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of americans are spending more of their time exercising.41. from the passage we can infer taboo is .a. a strong desire to do something strange or terribleb. a crime committed on impulsec. behavior considered unacceptable in societys eyesd. an unfavorable impression left on other people42. based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude “being fat” in american society.a. will always remain a taboo b. is not considered a taboo by most peoplec. has been a taboo long before d. may no longer be a taboo some day43. the topic of fat is many other taboo subjects.a. the same as b. different fromc. more boring than d. less often talked about than44. in the u.s., thin is “in”, fat is “out”, this means .a. thin is “inside”, fat is “outside” b. thin is “diligent”, fat is “lazy”c. thin is “youthful”, fat is “spiritless” d. thin is “fashionable”, fat is “unfashionable”45. the main reason the passage gives for why so many americans are exercising regularly is .a. their changed life-style b. their eagerness to stay thin and healthyc. their appreciation of the importance of exercised. the encouragement they have received from their companies第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。下面是有关美国系列丛书you中的几本，首先请阅读它们的标题及封面信息：a. b. you on a walklisten as y
