There have been a few articles in the press over the last couple of months about Chinese- style road crossing. The definition of this 38 is a large number of people jaywalking(乱穿马路) together because they feel 39 in a big group.Crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and dangerous. It can be 40 to try and rush across the road whilst the red 41 is still lit; its only a short distance, whats the 42 that can happen?Many pedestrians dont seem to understand the 43 they are taking. If the lights on green then most drivers wont pay attention, 44 that no one will be crossing the road. If the driver does notice, its possible that they may not have the 45 stopping distance to be able to stop 46 hitting the person. Also, stepping out on to a road at the wrong 47 causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a 48 effect possibly even a long tailback (车辆长队). 49 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 50 pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers dont follow the rules, either. Even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people 51 crossing the road. Many times these cars dont slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. It also means that people 52 cross the road when they should be allowed to -maybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.Driving a car doesnt mean you have more rights. Its a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of 53 . It doesnt seem completely 54 to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system thats designed against them. A rethink of the way pedestrian crossing work and driver education may 55 a stop to “Chinese- style road crossing.”36.A. hold B. cross C. bendD. snap37.A. YesB. No C. WhyD.

A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer（暗淡）future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of The Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come. People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in aquality-of-lif eindex(指数）where it is best to be born next year. One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口学) social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind. Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the eurozone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies-Germany，France and Britain-do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羡慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.56According to the passage，the happiest people live in . A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria57The factors of telling the best place to be born dont include A. economy B. geography C. trust in public institutions D. pollution58Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？ A. The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company. B. The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live. C. The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list. D. Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.59The purpose of the text is to show people A. the best place to be born in 2013 B. a new study made by the EIU C. the worst country to be born in 2013D. the factors of measuring the best place to be bornBHeather Mills McCartney lives an admirable life, attending celebrity parties, meeting regularly with the rich and famous and doing meaningful work for charity. All who work with her admire and respect her. But Heathers life hasnt always been so easy. When Heather was only 9 years old, her mother abandoned her and her two brothers. At the age of 13, she ran away from home and ended up living on the streets in London. Eventually, however, her exceptional beauty led to a career in modeling. At that time, Heather also began helping with the war relief efforts in former Yugoslavia. Through her modeling and relief work, she soon became famous. But in August 1993, at age 25 her life changed once again. She was crossing the street in London when a motorcycle crashed into her. She was so badly injured that the doctors had to cut off her left leg. After that, she discovered she frequently needed to change her artificial limbs. It was expensive and she felt it was a waste to just throw away the old one. It occurred to her to set up an organization that could deliver used artificial limbs to Yugoslavia and other war-torn countries. It was through her charity work that she met her husband Paul McCartney. Throughout her life, Heather has risen above problems and focused on helping others. Her work with artificial limbs even earned her a nomination(提名) for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996. Heathers persistence and determination are what impresses anyone who knows her.

What do you think caused this change in colour? It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from the nearby fields.Components of SoilSoil is made up of a number of layers (层) , each having its own distinctive colour and texture. The upper layer is known as the litter. It acts like a blanket，limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss. The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus (腐殖质), which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour. This layer is usually rich in nutrients, oxygen, and water. Below the topsoil is the subsoil, a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter. This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus. Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock.Soil forms from the bottom up. Over time bedrock is attacked by rain, wind, frost, and snow. It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering. Plants begin to grow，and rotten materials enrich the topsoil. Most of the soil in Eastern Canada ，for example ，was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared 12,000 years ago.Water Beneath the SoilSurface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes ，ponds, and rivers. Once in the soil or rock, it is called groundwater. Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation(渗透). Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table. Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate.As water percolates downward, it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers. This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth.Soil pHSoil can be acidic, neutral, or basic. The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed，and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it.The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil. By burning fossil fuels such as coal ，oil and gasoline，humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils. When fossil fuels are burned，gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain. Acid soil increases the problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels. As nutrients are removed，soil is less fertile. Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil，and also become easily attacked by diseases.68The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called_.A. litterB. topsoil C. humus D. subsoil69According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface.B. The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil.C. Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil.D. Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth.70We can infer from the passage that the water table lies_.A. between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layerB. in the subsoil layer above bedrockC. between the subsoil layer and bedrockD. in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil71The underlined word “dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are_.A. rushed away into the riverB. cleaned and purified by waterC. destroyed and carried away by waterD. mixed with water and become part of itETensions have erupted over some barren rocks in the Pacific that you may never have heard of, but stay tunedthis is a boundary dispute that could get ugly and some day have far-reaching consequences for China, Japan, Taiwan and the United StatesThe islands in dispute are called the Senkaku chain by Japan, the Diaoyu islands by China, and the Diaoyutai by TaiwanAll three claim the islands, which are really just five small islands and three barren rocks northeast of Taiwan, 200 miles off the Chinese coastThe latest conflict occurred when a Chinese fishing boat collided with two Japanese naval ships trying to stop it near the islandsThe Japanese prevented the Chinese captain from leaving the place for questioning and the two countries have been exchanging angry protestsThe reason to worry is th
