18、 other patients feelingsBKay and Charles Giddens sold their home to start a bed and breakfast. Four years later, the couple now dishes out banana pancake breakfasts, cleans toilets, serves homemade cookies to guests in a bed and breakfast surrounded by trees on a mountain known for colorful sunsets.
19、“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says Ms. Giddens. “This is a phenomenon (现象) thats fairly widespread. A lot of people are rethinking their lives and figuring out what they want to do.” Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharin
20、g housing, living closer to work and commuting (通勤) less, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.Vicki Robin, a writer, tells us how she deals with the changes in her budget (预算), now far less than w
21、hat she used to make.“You become conscious of where your money is going and how valuable it is,” Ms. Robin says. “You tend not to use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out. You find your life is not a mess anymore, and you discover your living costs have gone way down.”Janet Luhrs, a lawye
22、r, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a babysitter for two weeks. “It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says. “Simplicity is not just about saving money; its about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”Ms. Luhrs
23、now edits a magazine called Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, and organize potluck (家常便饭) dinners instead of fancy receptions.“Simplicity is about conscious living and creating the life you want.

26、ment.CFor Christmas last year, Maries grandma wanted to get her something special. So Marie asked her grandma for her dream gift: a brand-new pair of UGG boots. All her friends had them.On Christmas morning, Marie really got a pair of boots. They fit perfectly. The quality was superb. There was only
27、 one thing missing: the tiny label (标签) on the heel that says UGG.Marie thanked her grandma. But shes only worn those boots twice both times to visit her grandma. “I would never wear them in public,” she says.Maries grandma would be heartbroken to know the truth. But at UGG headquarters (总部), a room
28、 full of sales managers would be cheering.Through clever marketing and expensive advertising, the makers of UGGs have convinced (使信服) Marie and millions of others that the name UGG has value far beyond what the homely slipper boots should really cost. UGGs, like North Face jackets, Nike sneakers, an
29、d other brand-name items are “status symbols”. People pay double, triple, even 10 times more for brand names than for similar items. Is a pair of $400 True Religion jeans really better than the $18 Wranglers you can get at Walmart? Maybe the quality is a bit higher. Maybe they shrink less. But are b
30、rand names really worth the exorbitant prices? Some pricey brands do, in fact, use higher-quality materials that fit better and feel nice on your skin.However, the truth is that the value of a brand has little to do with quality and a lot to do with status. A recent study by Consumer Reports found t
31、hat some of the least expensive jeans are better made than the more expensive jeans. But that doesnt matter. Wearing a certain label tells the world “I belong” or “I can afford it.”A few decades ago, the idea of a kid refusing to wear a pair of boots because the label was wrong would have seemed as
32、crazy as talking on a phone the size of your hand.Clearly, times have changed.28. When she received the Christmas gift from her grandma, Marie seemed .A. excitedB. worriedC. movedD. disappointed29. UGGs managers would be cheering probably because of .A. its particular designB. its successful marketi
33、ngC. its high-quality productsD. its better customer service30. The underlined word “exorbitant” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A. highB. goodC. averageD. attractive31. In the authors opinion, people wear brand-name products as a way to .A. follow the fashionB. show themselves offC. keep pace with t
34、he timesD. improve their quality of lifeDThe United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. By 2050, its projected to be one out of 5. This means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people
35、to support them.Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly,” he said.Aging populations consume (消耗) more and p
36、roduce less. With more people living longer, it could get expensive. But Mr. Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable.Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly, but each carries a cost. Generally, there are three types of su
37、pport. Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. They can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the government.In industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共资助的) support systems. These worked relatively well until recent years, w
38、hen aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems finances. These nations now face some tough choices. Mr. Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the sy
39、stem continuable.Most developing nations havent built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. These nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. But Mr. Le
40、e says that doesnt mean they can ignore the issue. “Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies now, before population aging even becomes an issue,” he explained.32. “Aging” in this text means .A. there are more yo
41、ung people than old peopleB. an increasing number of old people are dyingC. more and more young people are growing oldD. the percentage of old people in the world is increasing33. What is Professor Richard Lees attitude towards population aging?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Negative.D. Worried.34.
42、 The publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nations .A. are facing the risk of failingB. have failed to provide support for the oldC. will be replaced by other support systemsD. have greatly affected the nations economies35. We can infer from the text that developing nations .A. should pr
43、epare for population agingB. dont see population aging as an issueC. are facing urgent situations of population agingD. have better ways to deal with population aging第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分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：涂卡时，E涂AB，F涂AC，G涂AD。CanerCancer is a disease that causes c
44、ertain cells in the body to grow out of control. The human body contains billions of cells. Most of these cells reproduce themselves over and over. The body normally controls this process. In some people, however, certain cells start to multiply (繁殖) too much. These cells are not normal and can prod

These symptoms include pain, weight loss that cannot be explained, fever, tiredness, and changes in the skin. 38 For example, a cough that will not go away could be a sign of lung cancer.Scientists dont know w
47、hy some cells multiply too quickly. However, they have discovered many things that can lead to cancer. Most cancers are caused by conditions outside the body. 39 People have a higher chance of getting some kinds of cancer if members of their families had them. A few viruses (病毒) also cause cancer.Th
