While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds youre likely to pile on. Like many women, I work.a lot! As a selfemployed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and its directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isnt that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity(肥胖症)researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 4550 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. Whats more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. Ill also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.25The text above is probably taken from _.Aa sports report Ba fashion journalCa health and fitness magazineD.an advertisement post26A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to _.Again more weightBhave more time to move aroundCwork a full time jobDkeep a balanced diet27Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage? ALacking time for food preparation.B. Using more prepared food.CConsuming too much alcohol.DTaking part in more activities.28What can be a suitable title for the text?ALess activity leads to fat. B. Ways of gaining weight.CEffects of weight gaining. D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.CMusic for Humans and Humpback WhalesAs researches conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected.In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to show that music-making is at once an original human “business”, and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length- a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves(八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio(比例)which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form.Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. “This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material,” the researchers write.29 . The underlined words “converge on”in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. tend towards B. refer to C. turn into D. put forward30. Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?A. They can remember complex material.B. They can create pleasing patterns of music.C. They can make sounds like drums continuously.D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music.31. What is the main idea of the article?A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.D. Music making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.32. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. Argue and discuss B. Inform and explain C. Compare and advertise D. Examine and assessDI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals dont judge them. They trust animals in ways they dont with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation(合作)and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of groupliving animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.Its clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a masters degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. Theres a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.33The authors course is welcomed by the prisoners because _. Athey consider animals their best friends Bthey are curious about animal kingdomCthey feel it easier to get along with animalsDthey are more familiar with animal behavior34The author used wolves as an example to _.Aprovide the prisoners with more knowledgeBexplain the cruel side of groupliving animals Chelp the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkDinform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble35We can infer from the text that some prisoners _.Ahave turned over a new leafBare required to attend the courseCare willing to learn working skills Dprefer humane education to science 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We dont have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. 36 Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words e ignored and just the actions remembered? I dont think so. 37 It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval, and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile. 38 What about that saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. 39 Lets not be a member of that “club”. When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mates coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years. “I can live for two months on a good compliment(夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. 40 A perfect way to turn a bad day around is praise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself?” It is amazing how those few words can change a childs outlook. almost immediately. Dont stop there. One of my sisters ended a phone conversation with three words“I love you”! Boy, that put a spring in my step! Mark Twain is right. I still feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words.A. The pen is more powerful than the sword.B. Is it really reasonable to do something like that? C. Do they display the attitude that we want to convey?D. It is important to have your words match your actions.E. Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.F. Those words did lasting damage to you, the relationship or both.G. Dont be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was doing some lastminute Christmas shopping in a toy store.
