From that moment, I had in my mind that when I grew up Id go to China and walk along the Great Wall from end to end.”Lindesays about 3 ,000-km solo run along the Great Wall began in 1987. Running the length of the wall was a brave expedition, venturing into sparsely populated regions where there was little chance of help if the runner had an accident. During another trip, Lindesay and his team ventured deep into the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. The explorers almost died from dehydration(脱水）. In total, Lindesay estimates in an interview that he has spent about 1,600 days of his life, or four full years, on the Great Wall in all seasons.Lindesay and his wife, Wu Qi, whom he got to know and fell in love with during his trips in China, had a farmhouse at the foot of the wall. During his exploration, he noticed some sections of the wall were badly damaged and covered with litter. Modernization and development were making the situation even worse. Some people say it will take generations to change; I say we dont have generations of time. Its got to be much quicker, he said. Lindesay always carries a garbage bag with him in the wilderness, picking litter along the way. Lindesay uses a garbage bag as his calling card. The cloth bag bears a set of nine simple guidelines in Chinese, which calls on people to observe while traveling or camping outdoors : Take your own garbage home Pick up litter left by others. Dont damage plants or flowers, or pick fruit and lots more.24. What sparked William Lindesays dream of exploring the Great Wall? A.Surfing a website about the Great Wall. B. Experiencing a war for the Great Wall. C. Admiring the Great Wall in the school atlas. D. Seeing a movie about the Great Wall.25.What does the underlined word sparsely mean? A. Remotely. B. Rarely. C. Frequently. D. Largely.26.What worsened the situation of the Great Wall? A.The destroyed ecosystems.B.Waste caused by farms. C.The increasing tourists.D.Modernization and development.27.What sort of man was William Lindesay? A.Strong - willed and selfless.B.Determined and grateful. C.Warmhearted and impolite.D.Considerate and optimistic.COne of the things that makes your smart-phone so smart is that if you pull it out in the sun, it senses thatand dials up the screen brightness to compensate. But its not a perfect solution.First of all, its still not bright enoughyou have to remember how respectable sunlight is. Shin-Tson Wu, a physicist at the University of Central Florida. The other problem, he says of the brightened screen, is it kills the battery. So Wu and colleagues have produced a battery-sparing alternative: an anti-reflective screen-coating. Based on the eyes of moths. Nature is so rich ! We can learn a lot from nature. The thing Wu and others have learned about moth(飞蛾) eyes, is that theyre uneven, dotted with tiny projections. That uneven surface reduces the reflection of light off their eyes一thought to help the bugs escape predators（捕食者）,and see better in low light. So Wu and his team built a similar surface with tiny dimples（凹），to cut down on glare. He says the dimpled coating could improve the readability of a screen by five to 10 times, compared to a normal smart-phone screen. The details are in the journal Optica.The tech hasnt been commercialized yet, and that could take a few years. Which gives researchers time to take advantage of another property of these surfaces: theyre flexible. Meaning the possibility of bendable displays. Combine that with the bendy batteries we reported on in a recent podcast, and it looks like the smart phones of the future could be set for a real metamorphosis.28. Why do the researchers develop the anti-reflective screen-coating? A. To brighten the screen.B. To make profits.C. To take in the sunlight. D. To save the use of battery.29. What inspired the invention of the screen?A. The predators. B. The reflection of light.C. The eyes of moths. D. The smooth surface.30. How does the screen work?A. It helps bugs escape.B. It slows down reading.C. The smooth surface protects our eyes.D. The rough surface decreases the reflection of light.31. What do the researchers expect of the screen?A. Itll transform itself. B. Itll be environment-friendly.C. Itll reach consumers soon. D. Itll be powered by recyclable batteriesDShop with Your Doc is part of a broader and still growing movement in US medicine to shift the focus away from simply treating disease toward caring for the whole personIt is meant to help people make educated，healthy choices，one grocery cart at a timeAcross the country，hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculumNonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits and vegetablesFor centuries，Western medicines mission was to cure disease“But over the past generation，two significant trends are of concern to the medical community，”says Timothy Harlan，executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New OrleansHealthcare costs began to increase sharply，and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common“Theres a very straightforward link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have，”DrHarlan saysThe connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach to healthWhat emerged(浮现)was the concept of the“social determinants of health”the concept of taking into account the biological，physical，and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patientA healthy person isnt just someone who is free from disease，the theory goes；he or she also enjoys“a state of complete mental，physical and social well-being.”The question the medical community now faces is how to get patientsespecially low-income familiesto recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthierIn Boston，medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry(食品室)at Boston Medical CenterSince its founding in 2002，the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center when primary care providers at BMC send patients foodToday the pantry，which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank，hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a monthThe Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives(倡议)，striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce marketsThe organization also helped develop toolkits(软件包)that map local pantries，markets that accept government food vouchers(代金券)，and other resources.At Tulane in New Orleans，Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparationHis philosophy：Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patientsAnd empowering(增强自主权) patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs of health care，Harlan saysThe curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United States“Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families，”says Dr Maureen Villasenor，the Orange County pediatrician(儿科医生).32.The aim of Shop with Your Doc is to_. Ahelp patients relax before an operation Bassist patients in finding food fit for them Ccontrol peoples food consumption in supermarkets Dpersuade low-income families to take more fruits and vegetables33.Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_ Athe role Western medicine has been playing Bhow a new concept of health came into being Cmedical communities worries about food safety Dwhy low-income families are less reliable on healthcare34.What do we know about the Greater Boston Food Bank? AIts cooking classes are free of charge. BIt treats many a patient from BMC. CIt helps people locate pantries and markets. DIt was founded at the beginning of the 21st century35.What can be inferred about the curriculum developed by Harlan? AIt appeals to a number of us medical schools. BIt is specially designed for doctors in communities. CIts content has little to do with medicine. DIts philosophy is questioned by DrMaureen Villasenor第二节（共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 选项中有两项为多余选项。How to be happyWe asked four psychologists for their advice on how to be happy and, equally importantly, how to avoid being unhappy.There has been a lot of research which shows the importance of physical health in avoiding anxiety and depression. 36 We can all make fairly easy changes in our lifestyle to include more exercise, healthier eating, getting enough sleep, being exposed to sunlight and so on. Research into exercise has found that it has a positive impact on mood. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphin in the brain to produce the feelgood material. 37 A good nights sleep also stops people being bad-tempered and flying off the handle.38 In one study, most happy people were found to have strong ties with friends and family and they made sure they spent time with them regularly. You also need at least one person who you discuss personal feelings with. That deeper connection is all-important.I would recommend being completely absorbed in a pleasurable activity, sometimes called experiencing flow. 39 If you are experiencing flow, you lose track of time and find the activity rewarding. People who spend time doing “high-flow activities feel more long-term happiness than those doing things like just chatting online.Make like Superman! 40 People who play to their strengths ( e. g. curiosity or persistence) or virtues (e.g. justice or humanity) and use them in different ways and in different situations are happier than those who focus more on their weaknesses. Studies in different countries have shown that people who focus on the positive report higher levels of well-being. A.The mind and the body are highly interconnected. B.Ask people to ignore the mistakes you have made. C.Having good relationships is a big part of being happy. D.Some people need to learn how to listen effectively to others. E.Sleep is vitally important for people to keep concentration levels. F.The activity could be anything from painting a picture to playing chess. G.Discover what your unique strengths and virtues are and then use them to benefit other people.完形填空 (共20小题；每小题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。 I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 41 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 42 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. 43 a family like mine has made me more 44 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that Im not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, Im not 45 to the nodding-your-head-and- 46 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 47 with the person youre speaking with, when his story becomes so 48 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that. I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 49 called Noah, which works 50 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 51 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, Id tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 52 , but mostly I listened. And had I not spent two months 53 , I might have missed the 54 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noahs community centers, orphaned (孤儿) at the age of three, whispered after a long 55 , “I love you.” 56 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 57 and nod and respond at the 58 timebut most of the time I was 59 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that its in tho
