After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to
16、catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after a
17、bout 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her ob
18、servation. I didnt want to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes t
19、o life and breathes because this woman is involved with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? A bedr
20、oom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I dont even know has been remembered forever. In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others spaces.

24、articular life experience C. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees to get the same hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) th
25、at can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-f
26、riendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hairdryers for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are confused about which style they mu
27、st have and have been asking which salons give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plants.
28、 The disaster resulted in a review of the countrys energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to sa

What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable Power is Welcome in JapanB. Nuclear Disaster Brings
32、bad ResultsC. Short Hairstyles May Help Save EnergyD. Japan is Lacking in EnergyDThe term “healthy obesity” has gained value over the past 15 years, but scientists have recently questioned its very existence. “Our new findings suggest that health measures may be necessary for all obese individuals,
33、even those previously considered to be metabolically (代谢的) healthy,” says study first author Mikael, “Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells, we should continue to focus on preventing obesity.” Obesity has been a global problem, affecting approximately 600 million pe
34、ople worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and so on. But in the 1970s and 80s, experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders.Later studies in the late 90s and early 2000s showed that some obese people show a relatively hea
35、lthy life.However, there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity, and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for discussion. “Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more difficult than thought,” Mikael says, “There doesnt appear to
36、 be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity, indicatingthat obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression.” One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression only in white fatcells, notothertypes. Moreover, all of th
37、e obese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations, so the findings may only apply to people with severeobesity. Infutureresearch, Mikaeland his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight loss normalizes gene expressionresponses. Theywill also look fo
38、r specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.In themeantime, thestudy has an important take-homemessage. “Obesepeople may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,” Ryden says.32. What does the underlined phrase healthy obesity mean?A.It can be healthy with obes
39、ity. B.Obesity is necessary to be healthy.C.Unhealthy people have no obesity.D.Health has something to do with obesity.33. What leads to healthy obesity failing to prove true?A.Lack of related patients.B.Lack of genetic evidence.C. Lack of needed standards.D.Lack of research funding.34. What advice
40、can readers get from the passage?A.People should have a healthy lifestyle.B.People should keep a balanced weight.C. People should accept obesity in a way.D.People should avoid obesity operations.35. Which can best describe the authors purpose of writing the passage?A.Compare, analyzeand conclude.B.S

And if you
42、are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. 36 They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual info
43、rmation. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longe
44、r texts. 37 But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other. 38 A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of person
45、al engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. Whats to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. 39 Personally, Im not sure whether I could ever go off
46、line for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a s
47、imilar position. 40 You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Notepaper for your iPhone. If youre still reading m
48、y article, that is slow reading.A. The Internet is probably part of the problem.B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects.D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.E. Slow reading can help connect
49、 a reader to neighborhood and become popular.F. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.G.
