15.Have you ever been to the world's smallest bookstore?
The World's Smallest Bookstore,whose official name is just these three words,sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto.
The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet,so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is.The bookstore is open 24 hours a day.Inside the bookstore are various books,especially literary books and classic authors'works.So if you are looking for something less popular,you may get a bit disappointed there.
Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars.All the expenses are paid on the honor system,which means buyers should make a note of what they've bought and leave their money by themselves.So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple:pens,papers,light bulbs and a label-maker.
In order to catch passers-by's attention,the billboards(广告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself.With these large eye-catchers,many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.

5.In the famous fairy tale,Snow White eats the Queen's apple and falls victim to a curse; in Shakespeare's novel,Romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient Chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury,believing that it would make them immortal,but they died afterward.
Poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history,and it seems to always be associated with evil,danger and death.But how much do you really know about poison?
An exhibition,The Power of Poison,opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York,intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison.The exhibition will continue until Aug 2014,reported The New York Times.
The museum tour starts in a rainforest setting,where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonous animals:caterpillars,frogs and spiders.Golden poison frogs,for instance,aren't much bigger than a coin,but their skin is covered in a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves,and a single frog has enough venom to kill 10grown humans.
The exhibition also features interactive activities.In an iPad-based game,visitors are presented with three puzzling illnesses and asked to identify the poisons based on symptoms.In one case,for example,a pet dog is found sick in a backyard and visitors have to figure out whether it was the toad (蟾蜍),the leaky batteries in the trash or the dirty pond water that did it.
"Poisons can be bad for some things,"Michael Novacek,senior vice president of the museum,told NBC News."Yet they can also be good for others."
   This is what visitors learn from the last part of the exhibition,which displays how poisons can be used favorably by humans,including for medical treatment.
The blood toxins of vampire bats,for example,can prevent blood from clotting (凝结),which may protect against strokes.A poisonous chemical found in the yew tree is effective against cancer,which is what led to the invention of a cancer-fighting drug called Taxol.One chemical in the venom of Gila monsters can lower the blood sugar of its victims,so it has been used to treat diabetes.
The benefits from natural poisons are not limited to just medicine.Believe it or not,many substances that we regularly take in-chili,coffee and chocolate,etc.-owe their special flavors or stimulating effects to chemicals that plants make to poison insects.

69.By mentioning Snow White and Romeo at the beginning of the story,the author intends toB.
A.show that poison has long been involved in literature
B.draw readers'attention to the topic of the article
C.show that poison is always linked with evil and death
D.get readers to think of more examples of the use of poison in stories
70.What is the main purpose of the exhibition The Power of Poison?D
A.To teach people how to handle poisonous animals.
B.To inform people about which animals are the most poisonous.
C.To show how poison has been used for medical treatment.
D.To give people more in-depth knowledge about poison.
71.Which of the following statements about the exhibition is TRUE according to the article?A
A.Those who visit the exhibition can join in some iPad-based interactive games.
B.The exhibition will lead visitors to a real rainforest
C.Golden poison frogs are the most poisonous animals on display.
D.Visitors can listen to lectures on recent studies of poisonous animals.

6.I'm Rich Kleinfeldt with some financial expressions used in business and the stock market.
Our first expression is"in the red."It is another way of saying that a business is losing money.In the past,numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink to show a loss.
A business magazine recently published a report about a television company.The report said the company was still in the red,but was able to cut its loss from the year before.
A profit by a business is written in black numbers.So a company that is"in the black"is making money.
Another financial expression is"run on the bank."That is what happens when many people try to withdraw all their money from a bank.A"run on the bank"usually happens when people believe there is danger a bank may fail or close.
Newspaper reports about a banking crisis in Russia used that expression.They said the government acted because of fears that the crisis would cause a run on the banks.
"Day trading"is a system that lets investors trade directly on an electronic market system.It was the first completely computerized stock market.It sells stocks of companies not listed on any stock exchange.Many high technology companies are listed on it.
Day trading companies provide a desk and a computer system to an investor who wants to trade.Individuals must provide fifty thousand dollars or more to the trading company to pay for the stocks they buy.Thousands of other investors do day trading from computers in their homes.
A day trader watches stock prices carefully.When he sees a stock rise in price,he uses the computer to buy shares of the stock.If the stock continues to rise in price in the next few minutes,the day trader sells the shares quickly to make a small profit.Then he looks for another stock to buy.If a stock goes down instead of up,he sells it and accepts the loss.
The idea is to make a small profit many times during the day.Day traders may buy and sell stocks hundreds of times each day.

61.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.If a business is losing money,we can say it is"in the red."
B.In the past,numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink.
C.A business magazine only publishes reports about companies in the black.
D.The television company has been in the black since the year before.
62.A"run on the bank"happens when peopleB.
A.try to withdraw their money from a bank
B.are afraid that the bank might close down
C.know that there might be a crisis in the government
D.think that they can't earn money enough to support their families
63.Which of the following is NOT true about Day trading?A
A.Day traders can make small profits without any loss.
B."Day trading"was the first completely computerized stock market.
C.You must give some money to the trading company to pay for the stocks you buy.
D.You can do day trading from computers in your homes.
64.How many financial expressions are explained in the passage?B
A.3.  B.4.  C.5.  D.6.
65.Rich Kleinfeldt might be aC.
A.newspaper reporter
B.boss from a company
C.emcee(主持人) in a radio program
D.investors of a Day trading.

3.High school dropouts(辍学者)earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates.Now a new study moves away a common belief why they quit.It's much more than failing in exams at school.
Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can't cut it.They are lazy,and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450kids who quit school about why they left.
"The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school."John Bridgeland,the executive researcher said.About 1million teens leave school each year.Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)student will receive a diploma,and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision.So,if failing grades don't explain why these kids quit,what does?Again,John Bridgeland:"The most dependable finding was that they were bored.""They found classes uninteresting; they weren't inspired or motivated.They didn't see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives,or to their possible careers."
The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit.In the US,only one state,New Mexico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate.Only four states:California,Tennessee,Texas and Utah,plus the District of Columbia,require school attendance until age 18,no exceptions,another researcher says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.
"As these dropouts look back,they realize they've made a mistake.And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end is probably a helpful measure."
New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point-the need for reform.It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant,and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.

61.Most high school students drop out of school becauseD.
A.they often fail in exams               B.they are lazy and not intelligent
C.they are discriminated against         D.they find school learning boring
62.According to the passage,which state will have a law requiring school attendance until 18?D
A.California        B.Utah.     C.New Mexico       D.New Hampshire
63.What do the dropouts think of their decision to quit school?C
A.It was a good idea.
B.It was interesting and instructive.
C.It was a mistake.
D.It was a success.
64.What is the author's attitude towards high school students dropping out of school?C
A.Indifferent     B.Positive    C.Negative      D.Neutral.
65.What is the purpose of the author writing this article?A
A.To raise awareness of educational reforming in the USA.
B.To introduce the measures to stop students from dropping out of school.
C.To introduce the different regulations in the USA about students dropping out of school.
D.To analyze the reasons why many students drop out of school.

10.The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices,even though it is not fully operational yet.
The hotel consists of 68"capsules",each 1.1-meters high,1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long.The basic rate is 28 Yuan ($4.22)per person,plus an additional 4 yuan an hour.The hotel also offers a package of 68 yuan for 10 hours and 88 yuan for 24 hours.
All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated,and each is equipped with independent sockets,clocks,lights,TV and wireless Internet service.The hotel also has a public lavatory,shower room,smoking room and shared guest room.
"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai,"said Ta Zan,the owner of the hotel.Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005,so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.
He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests'habits."In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs,but in China people are more willing to take a shower,so we have the shower room,"he said.He has also separated the capsules into three snoring (打鼾的) zones so that guests who often snore won't disturb others.Like most of capsule hotels in Japan,the one in Shanghai is for men only.
But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone."I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin (棺材),and the price is also not that appealing.A bed at a youth hotel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night,"said Wang Lei,a student from Beijing.
56.The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in.A
A.Japan        B.Shanghai            C.Beijing         D.America

A.it serves men as well as women                     
B.its capsule is much larger
C.it has a shower room                        
D.it has no snoring zones
59.What does the underlined word"compact"mean?D
A.Dear     B.Cheap  C.Clean   D.Close.
60.We can know from the passage that.C
A.each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory
B.all the capsules of the hotel were made in China
C.no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel in Shanghai
D.everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stay.

20.February 4,2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.
    Among professional basketball players,Jeremy Lin's background is not typical.He graduated from Harvard University,which sends few players to the NBA,and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.But when you watch him on the court,there is no doubt that he belongs there.He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice,which is fueled by a love for basketball.
    Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan.When Lin's father moved to U.S.,his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son,introducing him to the game at the age of five.The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.

    When he graduated,no professional teams offered Lin a contract,but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
    At first,playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement.He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years.But slowly,the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety.In a few very difficult months,he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.
    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream,so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come.Then his moment arrived on February 4,2012,on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight.After that,he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.
    The Associated Press called Lin"the most surprising story in the NBA".Knicks fans developed the nickname for him"Linsanity"(林发疯).Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100"Most Influential People in the World",Jeremy Lin included.
