We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too. One big disadvantage is moneyit costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprisingand, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside.C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.2. Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.3. In the passage，the writer tries to_.A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city4. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferring. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations. B“Id like to be at a healthier weight,” a friend told me. “But we just dont have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isnt enough money to join a gym.” Many people feel that way that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost. Dont lose hope! Well be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money. First you dont need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “diet foods.” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping, 90% of the food I bought was ingredients. Very few things were preprocessed (预处理的). Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food. Thats a bad thing. Quick foods like boxed “just add hamburger” meals have had the fiber (纤维) removed to make them faster to prepare. Take a look at the label (标签) on that box. It often has low numbers listed under “fiber” because fiber takes longer to digest. If the low fiber meal is digested, the result is that your body begins to store fat. Besides, your body is short of nutrients (营养物质). You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating.And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable. If not, the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldnt enjoy it. However, these chemicals certainly arent good for your health. Whats the answer? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive, low nutrition, processed foods. Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food and it will cost less, too. 5. People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think _.A. they had too much diet foodB. they didnt make a detailed planC. they have no time to do exercise in gymD. they cant afford diet food and to exercise in gym6. The author doesnt like quick food mainly because _.A. it contains too much fat B. it makes people eat more C. it has low fiber D. it takes longer to digest7. The underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 4 means _.A. freshB. deliciousC. healthyD. poor8. The author suggests in the text that people should _.A. control the amount of food B. eat more processed foodsC. cook food for themselves D. choose cheap ingredientsCFun dayTo celebrate the Year of the TigerFree Soft DrinksOrganized by FindingFun Youth Centre and Nowhere High SchoolDate：17 February 2015Time：12 am 9 pmPlace：Nowhere High School PlaygroundFee：$ 20 (buy three get one free)Programs：drama, lion dance, magic show and ballet performanceHighlights：1) enter the lucky draw to win a digital camera2) learn to make festival foodJohn us on the Fun day!

This is the classic rule for mass media. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how you re feeling, ”Jonah Berger, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, the US, told The New York Times. But with social media getting increasingly popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rules - good news can actually spread faster and farther than disasters and other sad stories. Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times website and analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list. Those stories aroused feelings of awe and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others. Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, ”Berger wrote in his new book, Contagious: Why Things Catch On. For example, “stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City”, he writes, tend to be shared more than “the death of a popular zookeeper”. The difference between the two is due to the fact that the mass media prefers news that gets attention, while when you share a story with your friends “you care a lot more about how they react”, Berger explained. But does all this good news actually make the audience feel better? Not necessarily. According to a study by researchers at Harvard University, people tend to say more positive things about themselves when theyre talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on micro blogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that theyre less happy than their “friends” . But no worries. Theres a quick and easy way to relieve the depression you get from viewing other peoples seemingly perfect lives - turn on the television and watch the news. There is always someone doing worse than you are. 12. Bad news covers most papers because _.A. the public care for reading tragedies B. mass media want to attract the publics attentionC. the public intend to express sympathy for victimsD. mass media appeal to the public to help victims13. Which of the following might be e-mailed most according to Berger?A. The perfect vacation of your friend. B. The death of a popular zookeeper.C. The story of a determined inventor. D. The flood hitting a small town.14. We can infer from the passage that _.A. bad news always makes people sad B. people prefer to share bad news with a bigger audienceC. people can relieve the depression by reading good newsD. good news sometimes has negative influence15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Good News Spreads Fast B. Bad News Spreads FastC. The Effect of Bad News D. The Power of Good News第二节 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。As a student, you can do well on a test if you have a good knowledge of the information that is being tested. 16 The DETER strategy can help you do your best on any test.
