But everyone has to face them at one time or another. Ive gone through a lot of big changes in my life. Some were bad, and some were good. Its the thought that something good is waiting for me on the other side that helps so much. The reminder that things will be better makes the big change more pleasant. Something Ive learned is that the change or transition itself isnt very frightening. Whats scary is the thought of ending up in a miserable place by the time you get through it. The thought of ending up somewhere terrible used to prevent me from making necessary and useful changes. For instance, over ten years ago I decided to move almost 300 miles away from the city where I grew up to a big city. It was a decision I had considered for years, but I never had found the courage to do it. I wasnt afraid of the change. In fact, it was the opposite. I wanted to make the change happen. What scared me was the thought of all these terrible things happening to me once I had made the transition. I was afraid I would spend all this money moving only to end up jobless and alone in a big city. What if it turned out to be a huge mistake in the end? Of course, that never happened. My worst fears never came true. By the time I had reached the other side of the transition, I had gained more than what I even expected. Not only did I find a job and make a lot of new friends, but also met a woman who I would eventually go on to marry. The experience of moving to a big city changed how I see transitions and life changes. Now I prefer to think of things in terms of best-case scenarios. What will be the best possible outcome waiting for me on the other side of this life change? It s helped build a lot of faith in my decisions for change.26.

It is a day when single people are suppoped to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological (社会学上的) reasons behind Chinas“celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country. There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely, never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men. Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country. Singles Day cant solve all the problems Chinas singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.31. In 2012, if 50 girls were boor, how many boys were probably born? . A. 50. B. 52. C. 58. D. 60.32. What made women in China get married late? A. Their support of the govemments late marriage policy. . B. Their higher education level and more work chances.C. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young. D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.33. Whats the writers attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China? A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Unknown.34. We can learn from the passage that . A. Singles Day is celebrated all over the world B. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage C. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime D. Singles Day will solve all the problems Chinas singles face35. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C Plastic bags are not costly to produce. They are also strong and easy to carry. This is why they are a popular container in most parts of the world. But they are also a major source of pollution. It can take hundreds of years for plastic bags to break down. As they do, tiny pieces can poison soil, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Therefore, environmental experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags. Maryland artist Allita Irby does just that. It starts with the morning newspaper. What is more important is getting that plastic bag the paper comes in. The mixed media artist recognized its rich possibilities about three years ago; “As I was taking the newspaper out, I felt the texture of these bags. They were soft. I just looked down and realized it would take three to make a braid (辫子 ). Since then, Irby has been using plastic bags to create abstract lines in her art works. Before incorporating (吸纳 ) plastic bags in her works, lrby used natural material& like feathers, leather and dried plants. All those elements represent her Native American ancestry（血统） and identity, like one of her works called Navaho Bundles. Ms. Irbys neighbors praised her ability to turn waste into treasure. Some, like Charlotte Hogan, asked the artist to teach them how to create art using the used plastic bags. “I think it is fascinating, and it is wonderful. I do plan to share it with my seniors at my church. One of Irbys neighbors Aleta Meyer expressed her surprise, “I have never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag. This is definitely different. Shirley Watts also lives in the neighborhood. She plans to show others her art. “I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it up on my wall and then I know that I did it. “Making art with found materials is not a new idea. Anyone can do it. Recycled paper, cloth and metal goods can become beautiful pictures and sculptures, Allita Irby said. “I think we are all artists really, and there is beauty all around us. The artist also said that all you had to do was open your eyes and bring the outside in. 36. What is mainly discussed in the lst paragraph? A. The advantages of plastic bags. B. The disadvantages of plastic bags. C. How to reuse and recycle plastic bags. D. The importance of recycling plastic bags.37. The underlined part “does just that in the 2nd paragraph means“ ” A. produces plastic bags B. makes use of used plastic bags C. makes plastic bags break down D. urges people to reuse and recycle plastic bags38.

Aleta Meyer. B. Allita Irby. C. Charlotte Hogan. D. Shirley Watts.40. According to Allita Irby, the most important step in making art with found materials is_. A. to come up with the idea B. to seek beauty all around us C. to be open to new ideas and things D. to choose the most suitable objects .D Scientists found we are such creatures of habit that once we have associated a place with a certain kind of food like popcorn at the cinema we will keep eating it - even if it is stale. Researchers from the University of Southern California devised a test to see what causes us to overeat. They gave people about to enter a cinema a bucket of just-popped fresh popcorn or stale week-old popcorn. Moviegoers who didnt usually eat popcorn at the movies ate much less stale popcorn than fresh popcorn because it just didnt taste good. But those who said they typically had popcorn at the movies ate about the same amount of popcorn whether it was fresh or stale. In other words, for those in the habit of snacking at the movies it made no difference whether the popcorn tasted good or not. Wendy Wood said,“ People believe their eating behavior is largely activated by how food tastes. Nobody likes cold spongy week-old popcorn. But once we have formed an eating habit we no longer care whether the food tastes good. David Neal said, When we have repeatedly eaten a particular food in a particular environment, our brain comes to associate the food with that environment and makes us keep eating as long as those environmental cues are present. The researchers also gave popcorn to people who were watching movie clips in a meeting room rather than in a cinema. In the meeting room a space not usually associated with popcorn it mattered a lot whether the popcorn tasted good. Outside of the cinema context even habitual movie popcorn eaters ate much less stale popcorn than fresh popcorn, demonstrating the extent to which environmental cues can trigger automatic eating behavior. “The results show just how powerful our environment can be in triggering unhealthy behavior, Mr Neal said. “Sometimes willpower and good intentions are not enough and we need to trick our brains by controlling the environment instead. Maybe we can try to eat the popcorn with our non-dominant hand. 41. The research was carried out by University of Southern California to A. figure out why people eat too much B. see why people enjoy popcorn in a cinema C. give advice on how to develop good eating habits D. look into what kind of popcorn is most liked by people 42. The underlined word“stale”in the first paragraph probably means food that is“ A. made by hand B. no longer good to eat C. enjoyed by moviegoers D. unsuitable to eat in a cinema43. What can we learn from the research by the University of Southern California? A. Eating behavior in a cinema was largely decided by how food tastes. B. Popcorn lovers in a cinema didnt care how popcorn tastes. C. Whether popcorn tasted good mattered a lot in a meeting room. D. People refused to eat popcorn in a meeting room.44. According to David Neal, what is the most important in our unhealthy behavior? A. Our friends. B. Good intentions. C. Environment. D. Freshness of food.45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Fresh popcorn - moviegoers favorite B. Environment and unhealthy eating behavior C. Habit is something that can make one die D.
