23、 that has “pure air”. Delhis first-ever oxygen bar named “Oxy Pure” offers 15 minutes of 80-90 percent pure oxygen starting from Rs 299.The bar, _31_ in May, also offers its customers several aromas（香味）to choose from that can be filled with oxygen. The aromas include lemongrass, cherry, mango and mo
24、re.Customers are given a lightweight tube, used for supplementary oxygen _32_. The device is placed near the customers nose through which they are advised to breathe in the aroma-filled oxygen.According to the aroma you choose, each session _33_ to improve ones sleep patterns and digestion, cure hea
25、daches and even claims to work as a remedy for _34_.“I was passing by and saw that they were offering pure oxygen. I thought I would give it a try and went for the lemongrass flavour. It was _35_,” Manjul Mehta, a customer at Oxy Pure told Delhi Daily.Speaking to Delhi Daily, Bonny Irengbam, senior
26、sales assistant at the bar, said customers were _36_ positively after a few sessions.“Some people, who try it for the first time, will feel relaxed and fresh. But only people who undergo the sessions regularly will get real _37_ of the aroma,” he added. “Though we have regular customers, we dont enc
27、ourage back-to-back sessions, as _38_ levels of oxygen in the body can make a person dizzy. It is _39_ to do it once or twice a month or to stick with the 10-15 minute sessions a day,” he said.Dr. Rajesh Chawla, a senior consultant in medicine said that though such sessions do not have any side-effe
28、cts, it does not help in the long run either. “Even if you breathe in the so-called pure oxygen for two hours in a day, you will go back to breathing the polluted air for the rest of the 22 hours”, he said. He added that the concept is purely a(n) _40_ move. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirect
29、ions: For each blank in the following passage 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. Stories about the problems of tourism have been numerous in the last few years. Yet it does not have to be a problem. Although to
30、urism inevitably affects the region in which it takes place, the costs to these fragile (脆弱的) environments and their local cultures can be _41_. Indeed, as has happened with some Alpine villages，it can even be a(n) _42_ for refreshing local cultures. And a growing number of adventure tourism _43_ ar
31、e trying to ensure that their activities benefit the local population and environment over the long term.In the Swiss Alps, communities have decided that their future depends on combining tourism more effectively with the local _44_. Local concern about the rising number of second home developments
32、in the Swiss Pays-dEnhaut resulted in _45_ being imposed on their growth. There has also been a new interest in cheese production in the area, providing the locals with a _46_ source of income that does not depend on outside visitors.Many of the Arctic tourist destinations have been exploited by _47
33、_ companies, who employ temporary workers and send most of the profits back to their home base. But some Arctic communities are now operating tour businesses themselves, thereby ensuring that the benefits increase _48_. For instance, a native corporation in Alaska, employing local people, is running
34、 an air tour from Anchorage to Kotzebue, where tourists eat Arctic food, walk on the lands and watch local musicians and dancers.Native people in the desert regions of the American Southwest have followed _49_ strategies, encouraging tourists to visit their towns and reservations to _50_ high-qualit
35、y handicrafts and artwork. Some have established highly profitable stoneware businesses, while the Navajo and Hopi groups have been similarly _51_ with jewelry.Too many people living in fragile environments have lost control over their economies, their culture and their environment when tourism has
36、spread through their homelands. Merely restricting tourism cannot be the _52_ to the imbalance because peoples desire to see new places will not just disappear. _53_, communities in fragile environments must achieve greater control over tourism ventures in their regions, in order to _54_ their needs
37、 and desires with the demands of tourism. A growing number of communities are _55_ that, with firm combined decision-making, this is possible. The critical question now is whether this can become the normal status, rather than the exception. 41.A. promotedB. minimizedC. inheritedD. deleted42.A. vehi

41、 information given in the passage you have just read. (A)McCoy was looking for a safe place to do drugs when something clearly out of place caught his eye: a luxurious brown leather handbag. McCoy, 36, could relate all too well. One of his few possessions, the sleeping bag he used in an abandoned ho
42、use, had recently been stolen. Remembering how angered hed been by his own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner. He began right away, starting with the address on the bill found in the handbag. After traveling much of the day and finally approaching the address on the bill, he was stop
43、ped by a woman, who asked whether she could buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for its owner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “Thats my purse.” A month earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative for a medical device company, had woken up to find her apartment broken
44、into and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-looking man holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasnt in good shape.At Smiths urging, McCoy told her his story. Hed been in charge of a landscaping business until 2012, when a car accident left him addicted to drugs. Smith, ama
45、zed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “Im a drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I dont want to intrude on your life; Im probably gonna let you down.”Unafraid, Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go to
46、rehab (戒毒所), call me.” She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left, thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a call. Smith realized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug into her savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. While there,
47、he would call her to let her know how he was doing. “We were getting to know each other,” Smith says. “His scared, desperate voice turned into a healthy, lively one.” After 28 days at a rehab program at Johns Hopkins Hospital, McCoy is drug-free. He lives at a residential recovery center in Baltimor
48、e, and a GoFundMe page set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, and incidentals. His life is back on track, all because one crime victim could understand anothers loss. 56. What drove McCoy to look for the owner of the handbag?A. The urge to find a business partner.B. The resolution to recov
49、er his sleeping bag.C. His own unfortunate experience.D. His anger over the poor living condition.57. What was McCoys initial reaction towards Smiths intention to help?A. Enthusiasm.B.

Activities in Denton Childrens Community Gardens are entertaining.62. This piece of writing is most probably issued by _.A. a food industry in bad need of funding
58、B. a website promoting gardening facilitiesC. an institution offering learning programsD. an association publicizing botanical gardens(C)Though the spread of good reproduction (复制品) of works of art can be culturally valuable, museums continue to promote the special status of original work and highli
59、ght the authenticity (真实) of its exhibits. Unfortunately, this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits. Art museums are often called “treasure houses”. We are reminded of this even before we
60、 view a collection by the presence of security guards who keep us away from the exhibits. In addition, a major collection like that of Londons National Gallery is housed in numerous rooms, where a single piece of work is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses. In a society th
61、at judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by ones own relative “worthlessness” in such an environment.Furthermore, consideration of the “value” of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the v
62、iewer that since these works were originally produced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms of money by some person or institution more powerful than themselves. Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value, and so todays viewer is discouraged from trying
63、 to extend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind of interpretation which would originally have met the work.The visitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such a variety of paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in an environment for which they were not originally
64、created. This “displacement effect” is further heightened by the huge volume of exhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably more works on display than we could realistically view in weeks or even months.This is particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factor in t
65、he appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting is viewed. Operas, novels and poems are read in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing, or at
66、 which to finish. Thus art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially, without appreciating the richness of detail and labor that is involved.Consequently, the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, a specialized academic approach devoted to “discovering the mean
67、ing” of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in harmony with the museums function, since the approach is dedicated to seeking out and conserving “authentic”, “original” readings of the exhibits. 63. The writer mentions Londons National Gallery to illustrate _.A. the undesirable cost
68、to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of artB. the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic valuesC. the negative effect a museum can have on visitors opinion of themselvesD. the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artistic schemes64. The writer says t
69、hat today viewers may be unwilling to criticize a work because they _.A. lack the knowledge neededB. fear it may have financial implicationsC. have no real concept of the works valueD. feel their personal reaction is of no significance65. The writer says that unlike other forms of art, the appreciat
70、ion of a painting does not _.A. involve direct contact with an audience B. require a specific location for performanceC. need the involvement of other professionals D. call for a specific beginning or ending66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Original work: killer of
71、 artistic appreciationB. Original work: reduction to value of art worksC. Original work: substitute for reproductionD. Original work: art historians bread and butterSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that
72、there are two more sentences than you need.A. Heart failure can by all means be cured by Vitamin D3.B. Changes in heart function were measured by ultrasound.C. In the others, who took placebo, there was no change in cardiac function.D. Participants were asked to take vitamin D3 or a placebo tablet f
73、or one year.E. Sunscreen will prevent people from absorbing more Vitamin D3 to a great extent. F. The finding could make a significant difference to the care of heart failure patients.Vitamin D3 Improve Heart FunctionA daily dose of vitamin D3 improves heart function in people with heart failure, a
74、five-year University of Leeds research project has found. Dr. Klaus Witte, from the School of Medicine and Consultant Cardiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, led the study. He said: “This is a significant breakthrough for patients. It is the first evidence that vitamin D3 can improve hea
75、rt function of people with heart muscle weakness known as heart failure.” _67_Vitamin D3 can be boosted by exposure to sunlight, but heart failure patients are often deficient in it even during the summer because older people make less vitamin D3 in response to sunlight than younger people. Vitamin
76、D3 production in the skin is also reduced by sunscreen.The study, which was funded by the Medical Research Council, involved more than 160 patients from Leeds who were already being treated for their heart failure using proven treatments including beta blockers, ACE-inhibitors and pacemakers. _68_ T
77、hose patients who took vitamin D3 experienced an improvement in heart function which was not seen in those who took a placebo. _69_ Heart specialists measure heart function by taking an ultrasound scan of the heart and measuring how much blood pumps from the heart with each heartbeat, known as eject
78、ion fraction. The ejection fraction of a healthy person is usually between 60% and 70%. In heart failure patients, the ejection fraction is often significantly impaired in the patients enrolled into the study the average ejection fraction was 26%. In the 80 patients who took Vitamin D3, the hearts p
79、umping function improved from 26% to 34%. _70_ This means that for some heart disease patients, taking vitamin D3 regularly may lessen the need for them to be fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device which detects dangerous irregular heart rhythms and can shock the heart
80、 to restore a normal rhythm.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.

Many parents are w
82、ondering: Is social media causing my kid to have anxiety?Its a question that worried parents. Some research has observed a relationship between social media use and anxiety in kids, but its difficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whether kids who are anxious turn to social media
83、 as a way to seek support. How kids use social media matters, too. Social comparison and feedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressive symptoms, which often co-occur with anxiety.How can parents keep social media a positive for kids?1.
