more than doubled according to health ministry statistics One in three Japanese marriages now ends in divorce Atsuko Okano was in one of those failed marriages Three years ago she found herself alone in her 30s with children to raise and a future full of question marks and social shame But she also saw an opening and became an advisor helping people like herself My husband was cheating on me she recalled I did everything to bring him back to me but it didn t work so I dumpeddumped him Such frankness is a major characteristic of Japan s recently divorced Divorced people particularly woman have long been looked down upon in Japan where self sacrifice and family stability are regarded as ideals In the past bored housewives remained bored The security of the family unit was the 4 most important thing Now young Japanese are increasingly choosing satisfaction in life over the demands of tradition and more woman are financially independent As a result Japanese divorce rates are flying Experts attribute this to the erosion of a long standing double standard that granted divorced men respectability but branded gave somebody a bad name divorced women as damaged goods Over the past decade growing numbers of highly educated and successful professional women have challenged that assumption something taken for granted by turning their backs on unhappy marriages and paying no attention to the taboo 禁忌 of divorce The majority of divorce behavior now is started by women 56 This passage mainly talks about the fact that nowadays Japanese women A are granted respectability after they get divorced B are becoming brave enough to challenge the taboo of divorce C still consider the security of the family unit to be very important D are becoming more financially independent 57 It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Atsuko Okano A had some children to raise B was very confident with her future C was not greatly respected by Japanese society D might have found a job to help divorced people 58 The underlined word dumped in paragraph 3 probably means A looked down upon B had a quarrel with C hated D divorced 59 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for

is catching up with the Mona Lisa The health of the famous picture painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505 is getting worse by the year according to the Louvre museum 卢浮宫博物馆 where it is housed The thin wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago the museum said Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world s most famous 5 painting is not easy Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year many attracted by the mystery of her smile It is very interesting that when you re not looking at her she seems to be smiling and then you look at her and she stops said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University It s because direct vision 视觉 is excellent at picking up detail but less suited to looking at shadows Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows However the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him until it was eventually sold to France s King Francis I in 1519 In 1911 the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat He said he planned to return it to Italy The painting was sent back to France two years later During World War II French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces Like many old ladies the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell C they don t have the materials Da Vinci used D they are afraid it will be done further damage C C There are two basic ways to see growth one as a product the other as a process People have generally viewed personal growth as an external 外在的 result or a product that can easily be identified and measured The worker who gets a rise the student whose grades improve the foreigner who learns a new 6 language all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts By contrast the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way The process is not the road itself but the attitudes feelings people have and their caution or courage as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties In this process the journey never really ends there are always new ways to experience the world new ideas to try new challenges to accept In order to grow to travel new roads people need to have a willingness to take risks to face the unknown and to accept the possibility that they may fail at first How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow Do we see ourselves as quick and curious If so we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences Do we think we re shy and indecisive Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate to move slowly and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all These feelings of insecurity 不安全 and self doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow If we protect ourselves too much then we stop growing We become trapped inside a shell of our own making 64 In the author s eye one who views personal growth as a process would A succeed in climbing up the social ladder B grow up from his own achievements C face difficulties and take up challenges D aim high and reach his goal each time 65 Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing A Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges B Jane won the first prize in the speech competition C Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris D Father s salary rose from 5 000 to 7 000 66 For personal growth the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT A being curious about more changes B being quick in self adaptation C having an open mind to new experiences D staying away from failures and challenges 67 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A It is not so easy to measure personal growth B To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable C There are only two ways to see a person s growth D If you are too shy to take any risks in life you cannot grow up D D 7 Forest guards in western India are using cell phones with ringtones of cows mooing goats bleating and roosters crowing to attract leopards that have wandered into human settlements officials said on Monday The wild cats in the state of Gujarat often get into villages near forests in search of food say officials adding that this results in attacks on people But rather than use methods such as live bait 诱惑物 like goats tied to trees to lure the leopards which then fall into large pits dug by guards officials say they have found a safer method to trap the cats The moos of a cow bleating of a goat from the phone has proved effective to trap leopards said D Vasani a senior forest official in Gujarat This trick works Vasani said forest guards have downloaded the sounds of over a dozen animals as ringtones on their mobiles which they attach to speakers and fix behind a cage They then play the ringtone continuously for up to two hours until the curious leopard appears and moves into the cage looking for its easy meal At least five leopards have so far been lured from villages since the new ringtone method was introduced three months ago The cats have all been released back into forest areas Wildlife activists welcomed the new initiative saying that previous methods of trapping the cats using pits often resulted in the animals getting injured 68 What can be the best title of the passage A Cell Phones to Hunt Animals B Practical Uses of Cell Phones C Wildlife and New Technology D Phone Ringtones to Catch Leopards 69 Forest guards in India try to catch leopards mainly because A leopards attack villagers B they want leopard fur C leopards attack animals D they have new ringtones 70 What will be needed to trap the leopards using the new method
