By the end of this decade, there will be three retirees for every child under 15 and before long, one in six people will be over 80. Its population will soon be falling by nearly a million people every year and some people predict that, some time in the next century, the last Japanese person will die. Other countries are encouraging immigration to deal with theirdemographic woes. But not Japan, which is using different ways to reduce pressure put on health care and social services.The Toto-made toilet, common in Japanese hotels, can push up to help the elderly. Now Toto is working with Daiwa House, Japans largest house builder, to equip toilets for retirees. These have medical sensors that measure blood sugar levels, the blood pressure and body fat of the user. The data is emailed to the local GP through a built-in internet device (装置). So make sure you eat your greens and stay regular, or the doctor will be in touch.The over-75s account for more than a quarter of the deaths in car accidents on Japanese roads. Toyota is working with Professor Kawashima, who developed brain traininggames for Nintendo, to create intelligent cars that monitor brain activity in the elderly. Other technologies could also work to keep elderly drivers cautious.Japan has twice as many pets as it has children. But real animals are difficult to look after as their owners age. Paro is a furry white baby seal robot which responds to petting by moving its tail and opening and closing its eyes. It shows emotions such as surprise, happiness and anger, and has sold well in nursing homes where it is reported to stimulate (刺激) responses among those with dementia (痴呆).Japans Institute of Physical and Chemical Research has developed Riba, a nursing care robot that can lift the elderly out of bed.24.

How does Japan improve the healthcare for the elderly?A. By advocating companies work together.B. By switching to life-long training classes.C. By developing hi-tech products and services.D. By correcting medical personnels service attitudes.C“I think the always on life is probably even worse than having a poor diet,” says Peter Neby, the founder of Punkt, a Swiss consumer electronics company. Thats why his company makes easy-to-use devices that do one thing very well, but nothing more, and allow you to focus on having a life and living”.Punkts new product, the MP01, is a back-to-basic mobile phone. Launched at the London Design Festival and designed by British industrial designer Jasper Morrison, the phones back is gently inclined(倾斜的), which makes it easy to hold. But its the MP01s functional simplicity that sets it apart. Users can make calls and send texts, receive calls and texts, check a calendar for dates and store 3,000 contacts in the address book. And thats it.Morrison and Neby believe the tide is turning against technology that endlessly demands peoples attention. “I think we are more aware than before of feeling stupid when looking at our screens,” says Morrison. “We are quite realistic, and we are not out to replace the iPhone,” says Morrison. “But as smartphones develop, there is a place for something small and without those functions.”Neby says he has been using the MP01 all summer, but only at night or on the weekend. If he needs to make a call in the evening, there is no chance for him to see any of the distracting information on his smartphone. “With the smartphone, if you are not very disciplined, you will be easily drawn in,” he says.And thats what it comes down to. “Taking a single-function phone is terrifying, but it certainly deserves a try for the sense of freedom that comes from doing something rather than staring at a screen and for a change,” Neby says.28. Why does Pankt make easy-to-use devices?A. To help the users out of their busy lifestyle.B. To draw attention to its advanced technology.C. To let users spend more time staying at home.D. Tolead the users back to the basics of the mobile phone.29. The main feature that makes the MP01 special is_.A. blocking out distracting information B. being easy to be held in the handC. having limited basic functions D. only making and receiving calls30. What can we infer from Jasper Morrisons opinion on the MP01?A. The MP01 will be terrifying.B. The MP01 will disappear soon.C. The MP01 will be smaller. D. The MP01 will develop gradually.31. How does Peter Neby feel about the MP01?A. It will replace the smartphone. B. It may give people more freedom.C. It should be cheap and popular.D. Its screen needs improvement.DMuch information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger，but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about others staring at you that way. Eyes do convey information, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.32. What may a person usually do on a bus? 来A. Glance at a stranger with eye contact.B. Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.C. Glance at a stranger without eye contact.D. Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.33. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over 10 seconds?A. He likes her eyes. B. He admires her.C. He knows her well. D. He makes contact with her.34. Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?A. He thinks that he is honest.B. He wants to control the victim.C. He feels uneasy about others eye contact.D. He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Eyes Can Speak B. Dont Look At Others For Too LongC. What Can Eyes DoD. Use Your Eye Contact第二节 （共5小题;每小题2分，共10分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意：请把答案用2B铅笔涂在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。The rules about how to talk, eat and sit, which are highly limited, are observed in most Western restaurants and homes. 36 Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table. No forks or knives for them to use! The Chinese host makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table, passing over both food and friends alike. _37 However, it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do.In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with low voices, and the topics that we could discuss were very limited. 38 If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. “May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands.” I would say. My mother would say, “Sure.” My father would often play a joke on me by saying, “ 39 ”As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. If any sound was created by eating food or drinking, it would be considered as bad manners!40 He is to sit up straight with the recessive hand (usually the left) in ones lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon.

We were not allowed to talk about anything that made listeners uncomfortable.C. Where do you want to go?D. However, theyre completely different from what we find here in China.E. Your hands dont look dirty!F. The scene is fantastic.G. In conclusion, they were all strictly forbidden topics.第三部分：语言知识运用第一节：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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It is a blue, cotton shirt.
