11、 that reading doesnt only help us to tolerate existence，but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers，published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine，concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup

12、 compared to nonreaders”The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging.The study looked at 3,635 subjects，all older than 50，whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didnt read books，those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than

13、3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable：on average，book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didnt crack open a book.The more the subjects read，the longer they lived，but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as ed

14、ucation level，income and health status，the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period.Those who read up to 3.5 hoursan average of a half hour a daywere 17 percent less likely.“In other words，just like a healthy diet and exe

15、rcise，books appear to promote a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.Why or how thats_the_case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity，not a causal relationship.But the findings are not so surprising.Other recent research showed th

Ready for takeoff, it raises its wings, springs into the air and flaps away. This series of actions is so common that you probably do not pay it much attention. But University

20、 of Manchester bioinechanical engineer Ben Parslew does. He is trying to design robots that can jump like birds.Most conventional robots roll around on wheels, limiting mobility. There is a need for more agile robots that can jump over obstacles in messy environments, Parslew says. To design such a

21、machine, he turned to nature: Birds are really good jumpers, he notes.The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they lean so far forward that they should tip over and fall onto their beaks(喙). Yet that does not happen. Parslew and his team used computer modeling to discover how birds avoid this

22、fate. They discovered that birds twist their bodies slightly towards the back while accelerating into a jump. They also have flexible legs and toe joints, which prevent them from taking off briefly and immediately crashing into the ground. The result were published last October in Royal Society Open

23、 Science.Parslew thinks engineers can use this information to design robots that can not only jump well but also launch into flight more. efficiently. University of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs and levers(杠杆)enable more rapid acceler

24、ation-than wheels do. And many animals are masters of springs and levers.“If you can understand how that works,”Habib adds, “you can build a robot thats good at running around and good at flying, and it will also be good at taking off suddenly in all kinds of conditions and landing on a dime.”Parsle

28、ort does not mince words(直言不讳地) about the state of our planet: we must act now to achieve global change at a scale that has “no documented historical precedent(先例)” in order to avoid the climate disaster that would result from a 2 degree C rise in average global temperature. Climate change already a

29、ffects the worlds most helpless people including poor rural communities that depend on the land for their livings and coastal communities. Indeed, we have already seen the clear asymmetry(不对称) of suffering resulting from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires and mor

30、e.So far, advocates and politicians have tended to focus on reducing fossil fuel(矿物燃料) consumption through technology and/or policy, such as a sharp carbon tax, as climate solutions. These proposals are, of course, essential to reducing manmade carbon emissions(排放)-71 percent of which are produced b

31、y just 100 fossil fuel companies.Yet the international focus on fossil fuels has overshadowed(使.显得不重要) the most powerful and cost-efficient carbon-capture technology the world has yet seen: forests. Recent scientific research confirms that forests and other “natural climate solutions” are absolutely

32、 essential in reducing climate change. In fact, natural climate solutions can help us achieve 37 percent of our climate target, even though they currently receive only 2.5 percent of public climate financing.Forests power to store carbon dioxide through the simple process of tree growth is staggerin

33、g:_one tree can even store an average of about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year. Recent research show undamaged forests are capable of storing the same amount of the carbon dioxide emissions of entire countries such as Peru and Colombia.For this reason, policy makers and business leaders must

34、 create and strengthen ambitious policies to prevent deforestation, and support the sustainable management of standing forests in the fight against climate change. Protecting the worlds forests ensures they can continue to provide essential functions aside from climate stability, including producing

35、 oxygen, filtering water and supporting biodiversity. Not only do all the worlds people depend on forests to provide clean air, clean water，oxygen, and medicines, but 1.6 billion people rely on them directly for their livelihoods.1、According to the passage, climate change _.Awill surely achieve at a

36、 scale that is more serious than ever beforeBwill only affect people living in the poorest rural regionsCis likely to lead to more frequent extreme weather eventsDis entirely determined by fossil fuel consumption2、Whats the finding of the new research?AReducing fossil fuels is the most powerful and

37、cost-efficient technology.BForests are vital to reducing climate change due to their storage power.CMost of our climate targets can be accomplished with the help of natural climate solutions.DNatural climate solutions have proved less efficient than conventional solutions.3、The underlined word “stag

38、gering” in Paragraph 4 means _.Aastonishing Bspeeding Cembarrassing Dshrinking4、Whats the authors purpose of writing this article?ATo compare two different approaches to dealing with climate change.BTo argue against the view that focus on fossil fuels reduction counts.CTo urge scientists to do more

39、research into natural climate solutions.DTo point out forests are the most powerful weapon for fighting climate change.24（8分） A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping(给小费) culture youve never come across in China.In the US,giving a little extra money to serv

40、ice workers on top of your bill is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour,employees receiving tipsoften waiters and waitressesare the exceptions.They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour,and tips make up the difference.A

41、s The Wall Street Journal put it:“The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”So how should you tip if you are in the US?Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and t

42、o the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.Yet there is an exception.For take-out food,you dont have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extrabut mayb

43、e a little less.Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafs or ice cream shops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机).Dont feel obligated to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesnt hurt.Those workers do not rely on tips.Other service work

44、ers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15 percent is the norm (标准),more if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill.The same goes for spa therapists(理疗师) and tour guides.Today,you can even pay tips on a credit card.When receiving a copy of the bill to sign,you

45、 are free to fill in how much youd like to tip.Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,its important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.1、What is the article mainly about

46、?AHow tipping culture started in the US.BHow to give tips properly in the US.CNew ways to give tips in the US.DThe different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.2、Which of the following is said to be against the norm of tipping in the US?APaying waiters and waitresses les

50、ake care of some matters and would therefore be absent when the theologian arrived. He told his brother:“Receive this scholar and treat him well！Dont say a word to him，and everything will be OK.”The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest.“Did my brother receive you properly?

My brother-a theologian?”stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk.“We had a passionate conversation,”replied the scholar.“We communicated professionally by means of gesture

52、s. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was

53、inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. ”A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed b

Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, Be tha

55、t as it may ,between us, we have three eyes. That was the straw that broke the camels back.
