    8．I left the hospital the day after Christmas．With a headache，I could hear my mother whispering to her friends on the telephone，"What if she's disabled and not able to take care of the boys？"
    Disabled？That was a possibility I'd never considered．Overweight and tired at forty-six，I was the single mother of teenaged twin sons．They took most of my time and energy．My career took the rest．
    Additional tests the next day proved the symptoms were from too much stress．Though I only had problems with high blood pressure and blood sugar，the message was clear：change my life now．
    Exercise to me was as fun as bathing the cat．When I had physical education in high school，I thought of push-ups and running laps（俯卧撑和跑圈） as punishment．I could never imagine exercising could be fun or a routine part of life．
    Over my summer break，I met a friend who worked out regularly．Danica cooked healthy meals from basic fresh foods．She helped me learn to eat smaller portions（份） and eat fewer desserts．Danica and I worked out with fitness programs four times a week．I began losing about two pounds a week．I dusted my two-wheeler off and unsteadily rode it down the block．Then I started riding the bike to work about a mile and a half away．The tall fourteen-year-olds laughed at their wobbly（摇摇晃晃的） bike-riding mom．
    Depressed one day，I went over to Danica's，not wanting to work out．
    She asked，"What's wrong？"
    "Everything，"I told her．"Today，I went to Virginia's to give her a birthday present，and she was labeling everything in her house so the kids know who gets what after she dies．She's having surgery in a week．What an attitude!Then I found out I am overdrawn（透支） in both of my checking accounts．"
    "Well，"she said with a cheerful smile，"We're going to exercise and you'll feel better!"
    Exercise had not just become a habit，and it was a way to lift my mood，combat stress，stay flexible and slow down aging．
    31．What mainly caused the author to go to hospital？C
    A．She suffered from serious high blood pressure．
    B．She became too overweight at forty-six．
    C．She had too much pressure．
    D．She got a serious headache．
    32．According to the text in high school，the author used toA．
    A．take very little exercise
    B．be punished by teachers
    C．consider exercise to be fun
    D．regard bathing the cat as exercise
    33．The author's son laughed atB．
    A．her habit of eating smaller portions
    B．her way of riding a bike to work
    C．her measuring herself every day
    D．her attitude towards eating sweets
    34．The author felt depressed one day becauseB．
    A．she didn't want to work out．
    B．she couldn't make ends meet
    C．she would have her surgery soon
    D．she couldn't buy Danica a birthday gift
    35．From the last two paragraphs，we can learn that the authorA．
    A．develop the habit of exercising
    B．still didn't feel like exercising
    C．didn't find ways to change her life
    D．got rid of all her diseases．

    18．In 1952，on the island of Koshima（越谷，日本某地），scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand．The monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes，but they found the dirt unpleasant．An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream．She taught this trick to her mother．Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too．This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists．
    Between 1952and 1958all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable．Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement．Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes．
    Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes．Let's further suppose that later that morning，the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes．Then it happened．By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them．The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!
    But notice：A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama（高岐山）began washing their sweet potatoes．Thus，when a certain critical number achieves an awareness，this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind．Although the exact number may vary，this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way，it may remain the conscious property（个人意识性属性）of those people．
    But there is a point at which if only one more person comes to a new awareness，a field（能量场）is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!
    Your awareness is needed．You may be the"hundredth monkey"
    41．The passage may be adapted fromD．

    B．an old experienced monkey
    C．an 18-year-old mother monkey
    D．a monkey finding a potato in the river
    43．The last sentence of Paragraph 1"This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists"implies thatA．
    A．monkeys have learnt the new way unconsciously
    B．monkeys like picking up things on the ground
    C．it is very difficult for monkey to learn a new way
    D．monkeys learnt the new way from scientists
    44．According to the writer，the hundredth monkeyC．
    A．is the last one to learn to wash potatoes
    B．is the most stupid in learning
    C．makes a great difference in spreading a new way
    D．plays a small part in the breakthrough

    A．to draw a conclusion that one day monkeys will become human beings
    B．to predict that one day every reader can turn into the hundredth monkey

    3．Homework and stress are rarely reduced inside the classroom．Meanwhile，outside the classroom，the pressure is on to find scholarships for college．
    According to Braintrack，a higher education database with worldwide reach，more than 3billion US dollars（18billion yuan） in private scholarships are awarded to college students annually．Average awards range from 2，000to3，000．
    The scholarship application process is similar to the college application process：forms to be completed，test scores and transcripts to be sent，essays to be written and often interviews to be prepared for．
    A few great places to start looking for scholarships are：www．fastweb．com，www．finaid．org and www．collegexpress．com．Check out the annual scholarship guidebooks Scholarships，Grants & Prizes by Peterson's and The Ultimate Scholarship Book：Billions of Dollars in Scholarships，Grants and Prizes by Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe．
    Be selective．Thoroughly research the qualifications required by each of the scholarships．Don't waste your time applying for those that are needbased if you can't produce the appropriate documents．
    Research past recipients（接受者）．Check out the websites of the organizations sponsoring the scholarships．Many post the biographies of past recipients．You don't need to have cured cancer，but if you don't think your résumé（履历） measures up to the past winners'，you might be better served by moving onto the next scholarship on your list．Prepare for the interview．
    You'll want to dazzle them with your personality，but above all you'll want to be prepared．Find someone you trust to conduct a similar interview with you-someone who will be honest with you and provide valuable suggestions．
    Let your personality shine through in your essays．The essays are the best way for students to share who they are，where they've come from，what they've overcome and so on．Tell your story in an interesting and persuasive way．And if you do have an interview，send a thankyou note afterward．
    By Lee Bearer
    32．What is the author's main purpose in writing the article？D

    17．Oh my God，the robots are taking over!We're doomed!Doomed!Now that I've gotten that out of my system，it's become clear that while we may or may not be doomed，the robots are taking over．The latest example is the government's new guidelines for self-driving cars．
    Tesla，Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America．Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021，self-driving cars will play a big part in urban settings．
    Nearly 40，000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-related accidents，and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually．
    Makes sense．Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk，drive without a license，text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup．On the other hand，I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react，with walkers constantly dashing into the street．Will they jam on the brakes every 10seconds？
    But there's a bigger picture．Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel，but behind the work desk，in warehouses，senior homes，you name it．Robots aren't just taking over in the workplace．
    The question is，where can't a robot function better than a human？How about writing songs？A robot can go through every combination of notes in record time and come up with a pleasing melody．The lyrics might be a different story．Is a Grammy-winning song co-written by Hank Human and R-3071 in our future？
    Finally，it's only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates．Why not？They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and come up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors．
    Actually，it's too bad such technology isn't available in 2016．Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide．

    29．What does the underlined word"agitated"mean？D
    A．Tired          
    B．Cautious         
    C．Careful        
    D．Anxious
    30．What doubt does the writer have about self-driving cars？D
    A．How passengers behave in it．
    B．How robot drivers get the license
    C．How they avoid crashing into other car 
    D．How they respond to walkers on a busy street
    31．The last questions asked in the sixth paragraph reflects the writer'sA．
    A．confidence in robots，winning Grammy Awards
    B．eagerness to listen to songs written by robots
    C．doubt about robots'ability to write songs
    D．curiosity about the future Grammy songs
    32．What might be the most suitable title for the text？B
    A．Robots will control the world in every field
    B．Robots are coming but not soon enough
    C．Robots are being used in our daily life    
    D．Robots can drive cars and write music．
