20、Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are
21、 the worst of all. The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happ
22、ens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.

ScaredBWork your brain!Between 2 and 3 pounds of wonder, it controls everything we say，do or think, who we are and what we care about. The way we walk or laugh or figure out things. What we like

36、ing aerobic exercise COne thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world; however, governments, elected or otherwise, sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons. The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language. It is Chin
37、ese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals. The term was brought to the United States, in the late nineteenth century, where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle, coal and oil, rubber and steel, and railroads. Some peop
38、le called these tycoons “capitals of industry” and praised them for their contributions to U.S. wealth and international reputation. Others criticized them as cruel “robber barons”, who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth.The early tycoons built successful businesses, often taking ov
39、er smaller companies to eliminate competition. A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly. Monopolies made a few families very wealthy, but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large.As the country expanded and railroads linked t
40、he East Coast to the West Coast, local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts. A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees. Railroad trusts are an excellent example. Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized
41、various routes, setting rates as high as they desired. The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts. Farmers, for example, had no choice but to pay, as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers. Exorbitant (过高的)
42、goods rates put some farmers out of business.There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials. In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust. Act, legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts. The Sherman Antitrust
43、Act focused on two main issues. First of all, it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade. It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of business that operates across state lines.Over the next 60 years or so, Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effo
44、rt to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations.64. The Sherman Antitrust Act_.A. affected only the companies doing business within state lines B. sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-place C. promoted trade with a large number of nations D.
45、provides a financial advantage to the buyer 65. One might infer from this passage that lower prices _.A. are more likely to exist in a competitive market economyB. usually can be found only in an economy based on monopoliesC. matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty levelD. ar
46、e regulated by the government66. It seems likely that many Americans_.A. believed that the trusts had little influence over governmentB. expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poorC. did little to build up American businessD. were worried that trusts might manipulate the government DM
47、outh bacteria grow fast in airless conditions. Oxygen rich saliva(唾液) keeps their numbers down. When we sleep, for example, the saliva stream slows, and sulfur(硫) producing bacteria gains the upper hand, producing classic “morning breath”. Alcohol drinking, too much talking, breathing through the mo
48、uth during exercise, anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath. So can stress, though its not understood why. Some peoples breath turns sour every time they go on a job interview. Saliva flow gradually slows with age, which explains why the elderly have more bad breath trouble than younger p
49、eople do. Babies, however, who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath. For most of us, the simple, dry mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured. Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria. Breakfast of
50、ten stops morning breath. Those with constant dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum, hard candy, or a bottle of water or juice around. Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.Surprisingly, one thing that rarely works is mouthwash. Th
51、e liquid can mask bad breath smell with its own smell, but the effect lasts no more than an hour. Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath. The trouble is, they dont necessarily reach all offending germs. Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layer
52、s of mucus (粘液). If the mouthwash contains alcoholas most doit can worsen the problem by drying out the mouth.67. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the causes of bad breath?A. Tooth trouble.B. Sulfur rich food.C. Too much exercise.D. Mental pressure.68. According to the passage, alcohol
53、has something to do with bad breath mainly because _.A. it keeps offending bacteria from reproducingB. its smell adds to bad breathC. it kills some helpful bacteriaD. it affects the normal flow of saliva69. Mouthwashes are not an effective cure for bad breath mainly because _.A. they cant mask the b
54、ad odor long enoughB. they cant get to all the offending bacteriaC. their strong smell mixes with bad breath and makes it worseD. they cant cover the thick layers of mucus70. We can infer from this passage that _.A. offensive breath cant easily be curedB. elderly people are less offended by bad brea
55、thC. heavy drinkers are less affected by bad breathD. offensive breath is less affected by alcohol第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Mountaineers can be a pretty tough crowdand among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status.
56、In 1985, Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America. Shortly after he reached the peak, Simpson fell through an overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg. At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death, but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and ston
57、e until he reached base camp eight kilometers away. He chose immediate goals, such as reaching a nearby rock, and then gave himself a time limit to get there. Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals. Break your main task into smaller goals. This is often the key to a
58、successful plan to achieve challenging objectives that seem to be “mission impossible”.Language learning, similar to mountain climbing to some extent, is a daunting task facing most language learners. However, learning from the above story, we can apply Simpsons method to language study. My top tips
59、 for designing a study plan are as follows: 1. Understand what kind of learner you are.Some people are “visual learners” and remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind; others are “auditory” and are happy to learn by listening; “kinesthetic” learners tend to learn by doing
60、 things and experience.2. Realize your own competence.What are your strengths and weaknesses? Which skill or skills are you going to improve most? Allocate your time to each skill appropriately. It is better to do a little every day than try to “cram” lots in a short space of time.3. Write down your
61、 plan on a calendar.Decide which skill and what area you are going to practice each day. More importantly, your plan should be specific and practical. Once you have a clear goal in your mind, write it down on your calendar. Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule. Do not d
62、elay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task.Studying is like climbing a mountain and you should take one step at a time. At first sight, a mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak. However, when you set out to climb it step by step
63、you will find that it is not so difficult as you think. Similarly, it is also true in language learning. You can improve your language skills in each aspect step by step. Dont be frightened by the seemingly hard task. Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream. (71) your main task i

70、chart, the kinds of wild animals have decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced on average each year, there were only 1.5 million left till 2010. There are several reasons accounting for this problem. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters, illegal ki
71、lling is an important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for fashion and a big profit, which can be seen vividly from the right picture. This has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals. In my opinion, it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. A national public campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some firm laws to forbid abuse killing. Only in this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.
