Relieving the Pain
"Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain," say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain, "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around, go out more, and start exercising." The instinctive reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often not productive, especially in the case of back pain. Back pain, after headaches and tiredness, has become the third most common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.
Lumbar(腰部的) pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground, but they are made worse by a sedentary(久坐不動的) lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽), the body's "feel-good" chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of endorphins in the body.
Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than exercise. Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy, doctors frequently do not know the precise cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs. "It's crazy," says Dr. Brasseur, a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain. "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors. I've just seen a patient who was taking two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
In some pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises, followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice tai chi (太極), self-defense, and deep thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy(理療) a week in a traditional hospital program. "The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy, flexibility, and confidence," explains Bill Wiles, a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. "Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."
16. To treat pain, patients should stop moving around.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. Headaches are partly caused by lack of exercise.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. Exercise helps to take the pressure off the site of pain.

19. Doctors often use drugs such as endorphins to treat patients.

20. Exercise helps pain sufferers to recover more quickly than traditional treatment.

The Meaning of dreams
1 Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly interpreted, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.
2 I can see their laughing faces…laughing at me. But they aren't as smart. If they were, they'd be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵義). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex(自卑情結(jié)), which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.
3 I'm moving fast now, but it's still behind me. Doesn't matter how fast I go, I still can't escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力) like the first one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble(蹣跚) or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying(恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in their everyday life.
4 1'm sweating and my heart is beating. I'm trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the person is often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming (強烈的) feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly (恐怖地) real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.
5 The wind is pushing me and I slip. There's nothing I can do . . . nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs,but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape,they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it also shows a deep-seated phobia (恐懼) of losing a job and a livelihood.
23. Paragraph 2_______
24. Paragraph 3________
25. Paragraph 4________
26. Paragraph 5_______
A Dream of diving into the water
B Dream of running hard
C Dream of falling down
D Dream of flying into the air

F Dream of climbing trees
27. If a person puts himself up above others in the dream, he may____.

第4部分:閱讀理解(第31~45題,每題3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題,為每題確定一個佳答案。
第一篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (掃描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often
31 People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A they're popular
B they're useful
C they're convenient
D they're cheap
32 The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A cured
B removed
C discovered
D caused
33 The salesman retired young because
A he couldn't remember simple tasks
B he disliked using mobile phones
C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone
D his employer's doctor persuaded him to
34. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
B deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
35 The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A to buy mobile phones
B to use mobile phones less often
C to update regular phones
D to stop using mobile phones
第二篇 Preventing Child Maltreatment(虐待)
Child maltreatment is a global problem with serious life-long consequences. There are no reliable global estimates for the prevalence (流行) of child maltreatment. Data for many countries, especially low-and middle-income countries, are lacking.
Child maltreatment is complex and difficult to study. Current estimates vary widely depending on the country and the method of research used. Nonetheless, international studies reveal that approximately 20% of women and 5%-10% of men report being sexually abused as children, while 25%-50%of all children report being physically abused. Additionally, many children are subject to1 emotional abuse(sometimes referred to as2 psychological abuse).
Every year, there are an about 31,000 homicide(殺人) deaths in children under 15.This number underestimates the true extent of the problem, as a significant proportion of deaths due to child maltreatment are incorrectly attributed to falls, bums and drowning.
Child maltreatment causes suffering to children and families and can have long-term consequences. Maltreatment causes stress that is associated with disruption in early brain development. Extreme stress can impair the development of the nervous and immune systems. Consequently, as adults, maltreated children are at increased risk for behavioural, physical and mental health problems. Via the behavioural and mental health consequences, maltreatment can contribute to heart disease, cancer, suicide and sexually transmitted infections.
Beyond the health consequences of child maltreatment, there is an economic impact, including costs of hospitalization, mental health treatment, child welfare, and longer-term health costs.
A number of risk factors for child maltreatment have been identified. These risk factors are not present in all social and cultural contexts, but provide an overview when attempting to understand the causes of child maltreatment.
It is important to emphasize that children are the victims and are never to blame for maltreatment. A number of characteristics of an individual child may increase the likelihood of being maltreated, such as being either under four years old or an adolescent, being unwanted, or failing to fulfill the expectations of parents and having special needs, crying persistently or having abnormal physical features.
36 International studies reveal that
A many children have been neglected.
B child maltreatment is most serious in developed countries.
C 20% of children have been sexually abused.
D 25%-50% of girls have been physically abused.
37 The word "underestimates" in paragraph 3 means
A exaggerates.
B points out.
C assumes.
D miscalculates.
38 Child maltreatment can bring all the following consequences EXCEPT
A stress.
B suicide.
C heart disease.
D poor memory.
39 Children are more likely to be maltreated if they
A cry a lot.
B are not good-looking.
C are over 4 years old.
D are quiet.
40 We can infer from the passage that
A researchers have collected enough data on child maltreatment.
B more than 31,000 children under 15 are killed every year.
C many countries have set up special institutions for maltreated children.
D some children are also to blame for maltreatment.
第三篇 Sprained (扭傷) Ankle
One of the most common injuries teenagers and adults experience is a sprained ankle. A sprain occurs when the ligaments(韌帶) of a joint are twisted(扭傷) and possibly torn. Ligaments are bands of fibers that hold the bones of a joint in position. A sprain can occur from a sudden twisting at the joint, or a stretching or tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured area usually swells(腫脹) and becomes black and blue. Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrong angle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can leave you rolling on the ground in pain with an ankle on fire! If you cannot walk without experiencing intense pain, you must seek medical help. If the pain is manageable, and you can walk, here are three words to help you remember how to treat yourself:
■ Elevate(抬高)
■ Cool
■ Bandage(打繃帶)
As soon as there is injury to that ligament, there will be a certain amount of bleeding under the skin. Once the blood pools around the damaged blood vessels, swelling occurs. The pressure from the swelling results in additional stress and tenderness to the region. In order to reduce the degree of swelling, lie down as soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated so that it is actually higher than your heart. Next, to reduce blood distribution and keep bleeding(流血) to minimum, apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes, take the pack off, wait half an hour, and then reapply. This can be several times a day for a total of three days.
Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Reducing the temperature in that area for an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise the body temperature! Therefore, one accidentally triggers(引起) more blood distribution to the affected area by leaving a cold pack on for too long! Finally, bandage the angle. Be careful not to wind it too tightly; doing so can restrict blood flow and cause harm to the entire foot.
41. A sprain is caused by
A ligament fibers of a joint being twisted
B blood vessels being hurt in the foot
C constantly changing body temperature
D elevating one's ankle
42. The black-and-blue symptom of a sprain is due to
A bleeding under the skin
B pressing one's ankle
C a tight bandage
D applying a cold pack
43 The word "it" in paragraph 2(line5) refers to
A ankle
B injury
C pressure
D swelling
44. Once the initial cold pack is removed, what is to be done?
A Begin bandaging the ankle
B Wait 30 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 20 minutes
C Keep the ankle in a position lower than your heart
D wait 20 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 30 minutes
45. The main idea of the passage is to explain
A how a sprain occurs
B how to bandage an injured foot
C how to treat a sprained ankle
D how to reduce the temperature of a wounded area.

第2 部分:閱讀判斷
16 B 文中第二段提到科學(xué)家在 1985 到 2009年的24年間不斷地測量湖泊的夜間溫度。然 而,題干認為科學(xué)家對湖泊溫度的測量超過 30 年,與文章本意不符。
17 B 文中第二段后兩句話提到科學(xué)家連續(xù) 24年測量了世界上 167個湖泊的夜間溫度。測量的結(jié)果是這些湖泊的溫度每年增長 0.045 度。題干中認為的"世界的湖泊溫度大幅增 長"的表達不符合文章本意。
18 C 文章第三段第一句話只提到了有些地方湖泊的溫度增長可以每年達到O. 1 攝氏度,但并沒有說是亞洲湖泊,因此本題的答案應(yīng)是選項 C,"沒有提及"。
19 A 文章第三段后一句話提到"一個湖泊水溫的輕微升高都會導(dǎo)致水藻增多,并且水 藻使得湖泊有毒而不適合魚類生存",因此本文題干表達的意思符合文章本意,選擇答案A。

22 C 文章后一段提到了"聯(lián)合國氣候變化框架公約"的年會,但是沒有提到今年的會議在墨西哥舉行,所以題干中提到的信息在文中沒有顯示。答案為 C。
第3 部分:概括大意與完成句子
23 F 本段的主題句為"The iPad runs the same operating system as iPod Touch and iPhone" ,意為 "iPad 使用與iPod Touch 和iPhone 一樣的操作系統(tǒng)"。本段也主要講述的是 iPad 的操作系統(tǒng)。答案應(yīng)為 F。
24 C 本段第一句話 "Like iPhone and iPod Touch ,the iPad is controlled by a multitouch display ",說明 "與 iPhone 和 iPod Touch 一樣,iPad 也是多點觸控顯示屏"。本段其他的句子是對數(shù)據(jù)鏈接的介紹。本句的大意應(yīng)該為顯示屏和鏈接,所以答案為 F。

40 A 文章第四段第三句話"To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it",說明"為了保證百科全書的準確性,科學(xué)家會復(fù)審其中大部分的信息",而沒有說是"全部的信息"。本題答案為 A。文章在不同的段落提到了其余各選項。

42 D 第三段第二句話"Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death",說明是動物園記錄了有關(guān)大象生活的各個方面,而不是科學(xué)家做的,所以選項 D 不符合文章本意。其余選項的內(nèi)容在文中都有體現(xiàn)。
43 C 第四段中作者向讀者講述了野生雌大象存活的時間是生活在動物園的雌大象存活時間的三倍,所以答案為 C。

47 D 這個空擋的前一句說的是Lindberg 在大學(xué)讀工程學(xué)位,但是飛行吸引了他的想象;其后的一句則講他自己買了飛機在各地表演空中特技,所以在中間自然應(yīng)該填入他輟學(xué)并移居到 Nebraska 去學(xué)習飛行這句話。
48 F 前一句說Lindberg 參牢,在飛行員班里第一個畢業(yè),這樣正好接上Lindbergh used this additional training to get a job as an airmail pilot,flying out of St. Louis,Missouri. 這句話。
49 B 前面一句講了 Lindberg 覺得要完成這次飛行自己的技術(shù)沒有問題,但并非任何一架飛機都能飛這么遠。所以下面就接上他找到了San Diego 的一家飛行器公司定做了一架飛機。

Relieving the Pain
"Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain," say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain, "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around, go out more, and start exercising." The instinctive reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often not productive, especially in the case of back pain. Back pain, after headaches and tiredness, has become the third most common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.
Lumbar(腰部的) pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground, but they are made worse by a sedentary(久坐不動的) lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽), the body's "feel-good" chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of endorphins in the body.
Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than exercise. Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy, doctors frequently do not know the precise cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, sufferers end up taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs. "It's crazy," says Dr. Brasseur, a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain. "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors. I've just seen a patient who was taking two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
In some pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises, followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice tai chi (太極), self-defense, and deep thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours' physiotherapy(理療) a week in a traditional hospital program. "The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy, flexibility, and confidence," explains Bill Wiles, a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. "Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment."
16. To treat pain, patients should stop moving around.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. Headaches are partly caused by lack of exercise.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. Exercise helps to take the pressure off the site of pain.

The Meaning of dreams
1 Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly interpreted, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.
2 I can see their laughing faces…laughing at me. But they aren't as smart. If they were, they'd be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵義). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex(自卑情結(jié)), which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.
3 I'm moving fast now, but it's still behind me. Doesn't matter how fast I go, I still can't escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力) like the first one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble(蹣跚) or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying(恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in their everyday life.
4 1'm sweating and my heart is beating. I'm trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the person is often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming (強烈的) feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly (恐怖地) real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.
5 The wind is pushing me and I slip. There's nothing I can do . . . nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs,but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape,they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it also shows a deep-seated phobia (恐懼) of losing a job and a livelihood.
23. Paragraph 2_______
24. Paragraph 3________

26. Paragraph 5_______
A Dream of diving into the water

第4部分:閱讀理解(第31~45題,每題3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題,為每題確定一個佳答案。
第一篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (掃描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often
31 People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A they're popular
B they're useful
C they're convenient
D they're cheap
32 The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A cured
B removed
C discovered
D caused
33 The salesman retired young because
A he couldn't remember simple tasks
B he disliked using mobile phones
C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone
D his employer's doctor persuaded him to
34. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
B deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
35 The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A to buy mobile phones
B to use mobile phones less often
C to update regular phones
D to stop using mobile phones
第二篇 Preventing Child Maltreatment(虐待)
Child maltreatment is a global problem with serious life-long consequences. There are no reliable global estimates for the prevalence (流行) of child maltreatment. Data for many countries, especially low-and middle-income countries, are lacking.
Child maltreatment is complex and difficult to study. Current estimates vary widely depending on the country and the method of research used. Nonetheless, international studies reveal that approximately 20% of women and 5%-10% of men report being sexually abused as children, while 25%-50%of all children report being physically abused. Additionally, many children are subject to1 emotional abuse(sometimes referred to as2 psychological abuse).
Every year, there are an about 31,000 homicide(殺人) deaths in children under 15.This number underestimates the true extent of the problem, as a significant proportion of deaths due to child maltreatment are incorrectly attributed to falls, bums and drowning.
Child maltreatment causes suffering to children and families and can have long-term consequences. Maltreatment causes stress that is associated with disruption in early brain development. Extreme stress can impair the development of the nervous and immune systems. Consequently, as adults, maltreated children are at increased risk for behavioural, physical and mental health problems. Via the behavioural and mental health consequences, maltreatment can contribute to heart disease, cancer, suicide and sexually transmitted infections.
Beyond the health consequences of child maltreatment, there is an economic impact, including costs of hospitalization, mental health treatment, child welfare, and longer-term health costs.
A number of risk factors for child maltreatment have been identified. These risk factors are not present in all social and cultural contexts, but provide an overview when attempting to understand the causes of child maltreatment.
It is important to emphasize that children are the victims and are never to blame for maltreatment. A number of characteristics of an individual child may increase the likelihood of being maltreated, such as being either under four years old or an adolescent, being unwanted, or failing to fulfill the expectations of parents and having special needs, crying persistently or having abnormal physical features.
36 International studies reveal that
A many children have been neglected.
B child maltreatment is most serious in developed countries.
C 20% of children have been sexually abused.
D 25%-50% of girls have been physically abused.
37 The word "underestimates" in paragraph 3 means
A exaggerates.
B points out.
C assumes.
D miscalculates.
38 Child maltreatment can bring all the following consequences EXCEPT
A stress.
B suicide.
C heart disease.
D poor memory.
39 Children are more likely to be maltreated if they
A cry a lot.
B are not good-looking.
C are over 4 years old.
D are quiet.
40 We can infer from the passage that
A researchers have collected enough data on child maltreatment.
B more than 31,000 children under 15 are killed every year.
C many countries have set up special institutions for maltreated children.
D some children are also to blame for maltreatment.
第三篇 Sprained (扭傷) Ankle
One of the most common injuries teenagers and adults experience is a sprained ankle. A sprain occurs when the ligaments(韌帶) of a joint are twisted(扭傷) and possibly torn. Ligaments are bands of fibers that hold the bones of a joint in position. A sprain can occur from a sudden twisting at the joint, or a stretching or tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured area usually swells(腫脹) and becomes black and blue. Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrong angle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can leave you rolling on the ground in pain with an ankle on fire! If you cannot walk without experiencing intense pain, you must seek medical help. If the pain is manageable, and you can walk, here are three words to help you remember how to treat yourself:
■ Elevate(抬高)
■ Cool
■ Bandage(打繃帶)
As soon as there is injury to that ligament, there will be a certain amount of bleeding under the skin. Once the blood pools around the damaged blood vessels, swelling occurs. The pressure from the swelling results in additional stress and tenderness to the region. In order to reduce the degree of swelling, lie down as soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated so that it is actually higher than your heart. Next, to reduce blood distribution and keep bleeding(流血) to minimum, apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes, take the pack off, wait half an hour, and then reapply. This can be several times a day for a total of three days.
Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Reducing the temperature in that area for an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise the body temperature! Therefore, one accidentally triggers(引起) more blood distribution to the affected area by leaving a cold pack on for too long! Finally, bandage the angle. Be careful not to wind it too tightly; doing so can restrict blood flow and cause harm to the entire foot.
41. A sprain is caused by
A ligament fibers of a joint being twisted
B blood vessels being hurt in the foot
C constantly changing body temperature
D elevating one's ankle
42. The black-and-blue symptom of a sprain is due to
A bleeding under the skin
B pressing one's ankle
C a tight bandage
D applying a cold pack
43 The word "it" in paragraph 2(line5) refers to
A ankle
B injury
C pressure
D swelling
44. Once the initial cold pack is removed, what is to be done?
A Begin bandaging the ankle
B Wait 30 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 20 minutes
C Keep the ankle in a position lower than your heart
D wait 20 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 30 minutes
45. The main idea of the passage is to explain
A how a sprain occurs
B how to bandage an injured foot
C how to treat a sprained ankle
D how to reduce the temperature of a wounded area.

第2 部分:閱讀判斷
16 B 文中第二段提到科學(xué)家在 1985 到 2009年的24年間不斷地測量湖泊的夜間溫度。然 而,題干認為科學(xué)家對湖泊溫度的測量超過 30 年,與文章本意不符。
17 B 文中第二段后兩句話提到科學(xué)家連續(xù) 24年測量了世界上 167個湖泊的夜間溫度。測量的結(jié)果是這些湖泊的溫度每年增長 0.045 度。題干中認為的"世界的湖泊溫度大幅增 長"的表達不符合文章本意。
18 C 文章第三段第一句話只提到了有些地方湖泊的溫度增長可以每年達到O. 1 攝氏度,但并沒有說是亞洲湖泊,因此本題的答案應(yīng)是選項 C,"沒有提及"。
19 A 文章第三段后一句話提到"一個湖泊水溫的輕微升高都會導(dǎo)致水藻增多,并且水 藻使得湖泊有毒而不適合魚類生存",因此本文題干表達的意思符合文章本意,選擇答案A。

21 B 文章第五段第一句話提到"世界上沒有哪個國家會很大或很小以至于不用關(guān)注氣候 的變化",因此,題干中提到的"一些小國家受到氣候變暖的威脅比較小"與文章本意不符。答案為B。
22 C 文章后一段提到了"聯(lián)合國氣候變化框架公約"的年會,但是沒有提到今年的會議在墨西哥舉行,所以題干中提到的信息在文中沒有顯示。答案為 C。

23 F 本段的主題句為"The iPad runs the same operating system as iPod Touch and iPhone" ,意為 "iPad 使用與iPod Touch 和iPhone 一樣的操作系統(tǒng)"。本段也主要講述的是 iPad 的操作系統(tǒng)。答案應(yīng)為 F。
24 C 本段第一句話 "Like iPhone and iPod Touch ,the iPad is controlled by a multitouch display ",說明 "與 iPhone 和 iPod Touch 一樣,iPad 也是多點觸控顯示屏"。本段其他的句子是對數(shù)據(jù)鏈接的介紹。本句的大意應(yīng)該為顯示屏和鏈接,所以答案為 F。

40 A 文章第四段第三句話"To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it",說明"為了保證百科全書的準確性,科學(xué)家會復(fù)審其中大部分的信息",而沒有說是"全部的信息"。本題答案為 A。文章在不同的段落提到了其余各選項。
41 C 第二段第二句話 "Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health",說明"生活在動物園的大象經(jīng)常會有不良的健康狀態(tài)"。答案為C。
42 D 第三段第二句話"Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death",說明是動物園記錄了有關(guān)大象生活的各個方面,而不是科學(xué)家做的,所以選項 D 不符合文章本意。其余選項的內(nèi)容在文中都有體現(xiàn)。
43 C 第四段中作者向讀者講述了野生雌大象存活的時間是生活在動物園的雌大象存活時間的三倍,所以答案為 C。

47 D 這個空擋的前一句說的是Lindberg 在大學(xué)讀工程學(xué)位,但是飛行吸引了他的想象;其后的一句則講他自己買了飛機在各地表演空中特技,所以在中間自然應(yīng)該填入他輟學(xué)并移居到 Nebraska 去學(xué)習飛行這句話。
48 F 前一句說Lindberg 參牢,在飛行員班里第一個畢業(yè),這樣正好接上Lindbergh used this additional training to get a job as an airmail pilot,flying out of St. Louis,Missouri. 這句話。
49 B 前面一句講了 Lindberg 覺得要完成這次飛行自己的技術(shù)沒有問題,但并非任何一架飛機都能飛這么遠。所以下面就接上他找到了San Diego 的一家飛行器公司定做了一架飛機。
50 C 六個選項中只有這個選項是和他回到美國后得到的榮譽有關(guān)的。
第6 部分:完形填空
