30、ection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Human Development Report, published annually since 1990, seeks to _50_ “human development” around the world and
31、 calculates a “Human Development Index” (HDI 人类发展指数) for 169 countries. The HDI is _51_ on average income, life expectancy, and level of education. _52_, rich countries tend to have higher HDIs than poor countries, but there are interesting _53_ in human development among countries with similar leve
32、ls of economic development, because some have better health and education systems than others.Almost every country in the world has a higher HDI than in 1990, despite the fact that since the 2008 financial crisis the total number of people living in extreme _54_ has increased.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked
40、 A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Life is different in Anchorage, Alaska, at the beginning of March. Every year at this time, the downtown streets become crowded with people. But these are not just regular pedestria
41、ns. In addition to the people walking through the streets, there are hundreds of dogs. It is time for the Iditarodthe famous dogsled race of Alaska.The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod. It means “distant” or “distant place.” It comes from one of the language
42、s of native Alaskans.More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage. When the teams reach the outskirts of town, they get a taste of Alaskas wilderness. For about two weeks, they will ght the unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to nish the race. The temperature on the trail is often well be
43、low zero degrees.The Iditarod trail stretches for about a thousand miles. It has many rendezvous points. At these meeting places, race teams “check in” to let ofcials know how they are doing. Some teams get into trouble along the way. Ofcials will stop them on the trail and give them the help they n
44、eed. For example, ofcials might stop a teams progress to give rst aid or to collect an injured or tired dog. These dogs are cared for and reunited with their owners after the race.The Iditarod trail is an important part of Alaskas history. A part of the trail was used by some heroic dogs and humans
45、in 1925. In Nome, Alaska, many people were catching the deadly disease diphtheria. The whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this disease. The only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled. About twenty “mushers,” or dogsled drivers, offered to help. They wanted to save the
46、people of Nome from this terrible trouble. Today the Iditarod race honors this heroic journey and all of the journeys on the famous trail. As the race organizers say, the Iditarod is “the last great race on Earth.”65.Which of the following is TRUE about the Iditarod race?A. It is held every year in
47、the downtown streets in Anchorage.B. It usually lasts about two weeks in freezing cold weather.C. It is held to honor the gold seekers who once lived in Iditarod.D.

62、king International Womens Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world. In most countries the events have a political tone: they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic, social and political equality with men, and to press for change in those areas of life where the
63、re is still progress to be made. In other countries, meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women: it is a day on which men give presents to their wives, girlfriends and mothers, and it therefore has some similarities with St Valentines Day and Mothers Day.Bac
64、k in 1911, the first IWD events in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland were certainly political. They were protests by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world: almost nowhere were women allowed to vote, and Finland was the only coun
65、try with any female members of a national parliament. The general expectation worldwide, across different continents and cultures, was that women would spend their lives largely in the home, devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children. The proportion of women who had paid employ
66、ment was far lower than today, and when women did go out to work they typically earned very little, meaning they were economically dependent on men.A century later, gender inequality in employment particularly pay inequality is still one of the issues IWD tries to draw attention to: it remains commo
67、n, of course, for women to earn less than men for doing exactly the same job. Limited educational opportunities (there are many countries in which girls generally stay fewer years in school than boys) and domestic violence towards women have also been highlighted by events surrounding IWD in recent
68、years.And yet, as the IWD website notes, _. As just one example, to return to the issue of women elected to office, the change over the last hundred years has been significant. Since 1911, when the small group of women in the Finnish parliament (nineteen of them, to be precise) were the only females
69、 in public office worldwide, the governments of more than fifty different countries have been led by women. In 2011, at least one country in every continent has a female leader, including high-profile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merkel) and Australia (Julia Gillard).72.

73、 womens social status on the whole.D. The progress in gaining equality in the last century seems to be too slow.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. The downtrend of malaria
74、 deathB. The research finding about malariaC. Combined efforts to combat malariaD. Malaria and its symptomsE. Children killed by malariaF. The reason for the underestimation of death cases76.Malaria is a serious and ancient disease caused by one-celled Plasmodium parasites, and malaria is spread by
75、the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The symptoms of malaria include periodic chills, fever, headache, and sweating. Complications affecting the kidneys, liver, brain, and blood can be fatal. Malaria is a major health problem in the tropics, where it afflicts up to 500 million people every yea
76、r. 77.Malaria is killing more people worldwide than previously thought, but the number of deaths has fallen rapidly as efforts to combat the disease have ramped up, according to a new research from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.78.More than 1.2 milli
77、on people died from malaria worldwide in 2010, nearly twice the number found in the most recent comprehensive study of the disease. The researchers say that deaths from malaria have been missed by previous studies because of the assumption that the disease mainly kills children under five. They foun
78、d that more than 78,000 children aged 5 to 14, and more than 445,000 people aged 15 and older died from malaria in 2010, meaning that 42 percent of all malaria deaths were in people aged 5 and older.79.The study also found that while the overall number of malaria deaths is higher than earlier report
79、s, the trend in malaria deaths has followed a similar downward pattern. Starting in 1985, malaria deaths grew every year before peaking in 2004 at 1.8 million deaths worldwide. Since then, the number of deaths has fallen annually and, between 2007 and 2010, the decline in deaths has been more than s
80、even percent each year.80.Researchers say the biggest drivers of the decline in malaria deaths have been the scaleup of insecticide-treated bed nets and artemisinin-combination treatments. This has been accomplished through the advent of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Malaria & Tuberculosis in 2001
81、and the creation of organizations focused on fighting malaria, such as the World Health Organizations Roll Back Malaria, Malaria No More and Nothing But Nets. Overall funding for malaria efforts grew from less than 250 million U.S. dollars annually in 2001 to more than two billion in 2009, according
82、 to the researchers latest estimates.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Do you know anyone who suffers from equinophobia, pluviophobia or leukophobia? Or, to put it another way, do you know anyone who is
83、very afraid of horses, rain or the colour white? You probably dont, and yet these are recognized medical conditions, though very rare ones.According to many surveys, more than ten per cent of people in the United States have some kind of phobia (the word comes from the Greek phobs, meaning fear). Th
84、ere are, of course, dozens of different kinds, ranging from the obscure to the well known. The names of most of them have been created by adding phobia to a Greek or Latin root a process that has turned into something of a word game, with people inventing names for conditions that perhaps exist only
85、 in theory (for example androidophobia, the fear of robots).True phobias consist of an intense fear that produces a very strong desire to avoid the object of that fear. Without specialist help they are very difficult to control and tend to disrupt the daily life of the sufferer. Phobias often origin
86、ate from upsetting experiences earlier in life for example an intense fear of dogs (cynophobia) often comes from having been bitten by one; In some cases, however, experts suggest phobias are to some extent evolutionary, arising not from personal experience but from inherited memory lying deep in ou
87、r brains. Arachnophobia and ophidiophobia (the fear of snakes) are often suggested as examples: for our distant ancestors, who lived closer to nature than we do, fear of poisonous spiders and snakes would have served the useful evolutionary purpose of helping them avoid potentially fatal bites.A com
88、mon technique for treating some phobias is that of progressive exposure in which sufferers are encouraged by a therapist to gradually get closer to the object of their fear. The idea is that at each step the patient realizes nothing bad is happening to them, which should lead to their fear gradually
89、 decreasing. With someone who is terrified of spiders, for example, the therapist might start by showing them a picture of a spider, then introducing a real spider in a glass box and slowly moving the box closer to them, then finally having them hold the spider in the palm of their hand. Therapy of
90、this kind is said to be very effective, although in this case perhaps not very enjoyable.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)81.When we want to create a name to describe the condition of a person who has the fear of ice, the name is usually ended with _
