12.All police officers should be made to take an annual fitness test,with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fall,a review said.In the Metropolitan Police,more than half (52percent) of its male officers are overweight,a fifth (22pe cent) are obese,and one in 100are"morbidly obese"the report showed.For women officers in the Met,a third (32percent) are overweight,16per cent are obese and 2percent are morbidly obese.
Tom Winsor,who has carried out the widest-ranging review of police pay and conditions in more than 30years,said those who fail the test three times should be subject to disciplinary procedures and a pay cut.He also recommended that strict testing should become a requirement of promotion.
"It is clear that the existing pay system is unfair and inefficient.It was designed in 1920and has remained largely unchanged since 1978."Mr.Winsor said,"I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test at the point of becoming a policeman,except in special units like firearms,physical fitness is not tested again in an over-30-years career."
He also added,''Officers who work on the front line,exercising their powers as constables in the most difficult circumstances,have nothing to fear from this review.''But this should get tougher by September 2018,along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland.This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which"police officers do and can become involved in".
"We are not looking for supermen."Mr Winsor predicted that many officers would welcome the proposals,saying they would see it"as a necessary protection for themselves and the public".

①push-ups②hockey③swimming④badmintons⑤climbing⑥wrestling
A.③④⑤B.②⑤⑥C.①③⑤D.①④⑥
64.Why did Mr.Winsor believe the police officers would support him?A
A.Because testing is helpful to both their health and safety.
B.Because most of them dream of becoming a superman.
C.Because he promises them an increase in salary.
D.Because the government support him to make a reforem.
65.What's the best title of the passage?D

2.When you hear of plastic surgery,what do you think of?A Hollywood star is trying to look younger than her real age?People who want to change the size of their stomachs,breasts,or other body parts because they see it done so easily on TV?
Those are what people usually think of plastic surgery,but what about the 4-year-old boy who has his chin rebuilt after a dog bit him?Or the young woman who has the birthmark on her forehead lightened with a laser?
Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person's appearance and ability to function.Plastic surgeons try to improve patients'appearance by correcting physical defects (缺陷) or changing parts of the body because they are not satisfied with the way they look.
Nowadays in the U.S.more and more teens are interested in plastic surgery.Interestingly,the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports a difference in the reasons teens give for having plastic surgery and the reasons adults do:Teens view plastic surgery as a way to fit in and look acceptable to friends and peers.Adults,on the other hand,frequently see plastic surgery as a way to stand out from the crowd.
According to the ASPS,more than 350,000people 18years and younger had either major or minor plastic surgical procedures in 2014.The most common procedures teens choose include nose reshaping,ear surgery,acne (粉刺) and acne scar treatment,and breast reduction.
But is it a good idea for teens to have plastic surgery just to change the appearance?Plastic surgery is unlikely to change your life.Most doctors spend a lot of time interviewing teens who want plastic surgery to decide if they really need the surgery.They try to make sure that teens are doing it for the right reasons.
Almost all teens care about their bodies.Almost everyone wishes there were a thing or two that could be changed.A lot of this feeling goes away with time.Before you get plastic surgery,ask yourself if you're considering it because you want it for yourself or it's to please someone else.
44.Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?D
A.A book review
B.A film magazine
C.A history book
D.A research report.
45.In the first two paragraphs the author introduces plastic surgery byB.
A.listing some numbers               
B.giving common examples
C.providing scientific findings         
D.comparing different opinions
46.According to the author,which of the following situations means you really need plastic surgery?C
A.You can't stand your big nose.
B.You want to be the most beautiful girl in your class.
C.The birthmark on your face makes you unconfident.
D.Most of your friends have already had plastic surgery.

3.Every day our life is full of images,videos,music and news.In this age of visual and aural hyperstimulation(视听的高度刺激),the medium of radio is making a marked comeback.
"We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio,"said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald.In the last month alone,15percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast.These data,released by Edison Research,reveal the successful
evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format(播客形式).The term"podcast,"was coined in 2004,but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years.Since the leap in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets,podcast subscription rates have only accelerated.
You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops,waiting in a queue or riding the subway.Similar to television shows,podcasts are generally
free to download on computer or iPod and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson,22,Sydney University media graduate,listens to podcasts two or three times a week,via-iTunes.¨I listen while I'm hanging out in the house doing something else.
It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in
touch with what's going on in the rest of the world,"she said."I mainly listen to BBC
podcasts,but recently I've also been tuning into This American Life and Serial."
Unlike television and music,the audio format has the ability to create a deep impression
on readers.Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability"to create emotional connection."Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust,major in social work and arts,
agrees."When you're tuned in,it feels as if the podcaster is talking directly to you.It's comforting,"said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal(口头的)storytelling is very much alive and well.

32.According to the passage,which of the following is Not a suitable time to listen to procasts?A
A.Attending a lecture.  B.Riding the subway.
C.Walking to the shop.  D.Waiting for a bus.
33.According to the passage,one difference between television and audio format is
thatA.
A.only audio format has the ability to create emotional connection to download
B.only audio format helps people keep in touch with the world's change
C.only television provides new content every week
D.only television shows can be free
34.What does the underlined word"coined"in paragraph 2mean?C
A.written.  B.thought.  C.invented.  D.found.
35.It can be inferred from passage thatB
A.people like to listen to podcasts when they work
B.podcasts are more and more popular with people
C.the voice of the podcaster attracts many listeners
D.people keep in touch with each other by listening to podcasts.

20.Shi Fang spends more than 4,000 yuan a month shopping,but she rarely goes to the shopping mall."Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao?I am a Taobaoer,"says Shi,28,a writer in Beijing.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Shi have discovered the joys of online shopping.The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) announced in December that more than 87 million Chinese made purchases on the Internet in the first half year,which means one out of four Chinese netizens have online shopping experience.
It is estimated that the consumption from online shopping will reach more than 250 billion yuan this year,and 80 percent of this is carried out through Taobao.com,China's fast-growing e-commerce hub (枢纽) set up in 2003.
The biggest attraction for Shi Fang is the relatively low price for online goods,compared with those in stores in bricks.Her favorite facial cream costs 1,680 yuan for a 30ml bottle in the local shop,but a 10ml sample of the same brand only costs 68 yuan online.
The Taobao instant messenger,a communication channel for buyers and sellers,also makes onlrne shopping easier and ensures the overall experience for both parties Shi Fang regards it as a platform to promote trust and keep contact.
"You can check the information easily.It is sweet that the owner will remember you once you have regular chat with him or her through the messenger.You may receive some personalized service such as getting more samples or certain discount,"said Shi While some may question the security of online purchases,Yang Fei,another Taobaoer,gave a thumb-up for Alipay,the Taobao payment method started by Alibaba Group in 2004 in partnership with leading banks in China.It enabled her to make a lot of purchases online.
"It's very safe and convenient.Unless you confirm the arrival and satisfaction about the purchase,the shop owner will not get the money.You can also get the refund(退款) if you want to return the purchase,"she added.

67.According to the passage,Taobao isA.
    A.a website where people can buy different things

7.Being Authoritative (由权威的) Parents
Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

67.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"D.
A.helps her children realize their dreams
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.places reasonable expectations on her children
D.pays close attention to her children's experiences
68.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayC.
A.face more challenges of children
B.foster independence in children
C.cause more problems in children
D.lead to children's academic success
69.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB.
A.a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B.overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
C.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
70.The last paragraph tells us thatC.
A.children should not be given much freedom
B.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C.parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents.

17.Group buying is one of the fastest growing trends in South Africa today.Industry leaders are confident the growth potential remains strong since group buying is location-specific(区域性的).Start-up costs are low and profit room remains high,so many sites continue to receive invested money despite widespread criticism and Facebook's decision to phase out of the deals business due to privacy concerns.
In the early stages of all industries,some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions.To deal with difficult conditions,an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India,so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the international mainstream.
The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet.Group buying is convenient and easy so it works.Anyone can view a site,join a mailing list,subscribe to RSS or print out a coupon(优惠券).The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome.
Perhaps,the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices.Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay informed.Using GPS and social media technology to provide real time location-specific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town.
Pause for a moment and think about it!What is better than signing on to your phone while having fun in town and you receive a real time information that your favorite shop across the street is offering a killer deal?
The future of the group buying in South Africa is bright and we can expect to see more advanced approaches to this concept in the future.In addition to the technological advances consumers will see the range of promotions expand to include new products and services.

72.What does the underlined phrase"phase out of"mean in the passage?A
A.Gradually stop.    B.Gradually increase.
C.Begin to develop.  D.Continue to enlarge.

1.Dear Mr.Whitman,
I am writing to thank you for allowing Maria and me to use your office as a workspace as well as to praise your wonderful organizational skills.Maria and I,as you know,have been in your office many times in the past few clays writing letters to raise money for our community service trip to Pucallpa,Peru,where we will work with poor children.Not only did you allow us to use your office space,but also you helped us greatly by providing us with a list of possible contributors.Without your assistance,I don't think we would have been able to raise enough money for such a trip.
We recognize that accepting our request for office space required flexibility on your part,but because of your excellent organizational skills and assistance we were able to accomplish our objectives without disrupting your daily routine.Every time we needed office supplies,such as pens,highlighters,envelopes,or paper,we were able to find them with ease.Your donations of the materials and postage needed to send over one hundred letters are most appreciated.We could not have done this without you.
You have helped us greatly this past week.Your generosity will not only provide us with the opportunity to make this trip possible,hut will also be a great benefit both to the children in Pucallpa and us.Again,we thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Amy Fynmore
