    17．Tomatoes are necessary in every kitchen，but hardly will you hear their cosmetic function．Not only do tomatoes taste great，but they also keep the skin healthy．It is good to consume tomatoes as they have lycopene （茄红素），which is an antioxidant（抗氧化剂）and hence works as a sunscreen from within．These antioxidants make the tomato an anti-aging product as they help fight the damage and reddening of the skin．It is recommended to have at least 16milligrams of lycopene per day．For people who are used to sitting in air-conditioned places，tomato helps moisturize their skin．In a word，whether you want to cure large pores（毛孔） and sun-burns or reduce acne（痤疮），tomatoes are beneficial．
    Cure big pores
    Big pores provide easy access to dirt，thus increasing the chances of infecting the pore．Take a tablespoon of fresh tomato juice，and mix it with two to four drops of fresh lime juice．Use a cotton ball to put this mixture on your face for about 15minutes and then wash it off with cool water．Regular application will reduce pores greatly．
    Reduce acne
    Tomatoes can help reduce and clear up your acne．Vitamin A and vitamin C are commonly found in a lot of acne medicines．Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A，vitamin C and vitamin K．If you have mild acne，cut a tomato in half and leave it on your face for an hour，which will moisturize your face．Do this as many times as you can，and your acne will dry off soon．
    Cool the skin
    A lot of people's skin gets sun-burnt in summer because of staying in the sun for a long time．Crush（压碎） half a tomato and mix it with two table-spoons of plain yogurt．Apply this mixture on face，neck，hands and feet for 20minutes，and then wash it．Tomato cools the skin，while yogurt can make it soft and supple．
    60．From the first paragraph，we can learnB．
    A．without tomatoes，our skin cannot stay healthy
    B．tomatoes are products fighting against aging

    C．remind people of the importance of tomatoes
    D．analyze why tomatoes taste so great

    A．A mixture of tomato and yogurt is needed．
    B．Tomato is likely to make sure of your soft skin．
    C．Yogurt is used to make sure your skin is cool．
    D．You should keep the mixture on your skin for a long time．

    A new draft（草案） regulation on tobacco control was published by the State Council on its official website to ask for public opinions，which will offer people protection from second-hand smoking．According to the bill，smoking in indoor public places and outdoor  spaces is banned．All forms of tobacco advertising，along with smoking scenes in films and TV shows，are also not allowed．

    China is not the only nation to fight smoking．In March 2004lreland became the first country to introduce a ban on smoking in workplaces and public areas，with fines of up to 3，000euros （23，000yuan） for those who break the law．Many other countries，such as the UK and the US，then followed．
    25．What's the purpose of the first paragraph？C
    A．To stress the importance of anti-smoking．
    B．To show people's attitudes toward smoking．
    C．To introduce the topic of anti-smoking．

    ④Those who break the rules will be put into prison at once．
    28．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A
    A．Many countries are fighting against smoking．
    B．Ireland is the first country to ban smoking everywhere．

    5．Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States，according to a new survey．The city has high unemployment，terrible weather，heavy taxes，and ordinary sports teams，all of which have pushed it to the No.1 position in the Forbes．com list．
    "Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories．And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname：the Mistake by the lake，"Forbes said on its website，
    The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country．Crime and unemployment secured the No.2 spot for Stockton，which held the top position in last year's ranking．Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty，while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five．
    "A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now，dealing with high unemployment，with declining producing bases．Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years．"
    Despite （尽管） its fine weather，Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting （上下班往返） time，and violent crime which sent it into sixth place．
    "One of the biggest surprises is Miami．The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes，"Badenhausen added．
    Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis，Buffalo，Canton，Ohio and Chicago，which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent．New York，the nation's biggest city，is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place．

    12．No one knows why we sleep，but it's certain that we need to．People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days-they think less clearly，and they fall asleep during the working hours； some may have hallucinations（幻觉）．?
    There are no rules about sleep．Generally speaking，grown-ups sleep about 7and a half hours each night and probably more than 60per cent get between seven and eight hours．But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5hours or less，and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more．If you feel all right，you're probably getting enough sleep．The important thing is not to worry how much other people get-their needs may be different．Exercise doesn't seem to increase the need for sleep-office workers，for example，sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work．?
    Children sleep more than grown-ups-perhaps 14to 18hours soon after birth，going down to grown-up levels by early teenage．Sleep patterns also tend（倾向） to be different in the elderly，who may sleep less at night than they did when younger，find sleep getting more broken，and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime．

    A．they have hallucinations

    A．how many hours you have slept
    B．how many hours you need to sleep
    C．whether you do exercise and physical work
    D．whether you feel fresh and energetic
    70．According to the passage，a boy of 14years old sleepsA．
    A．as long hours as a grown-up

    2．Are we getting more stupid？According to Gerald Crabtree，a scientist at Stanford University in the US，we are．
    You may not want to hear this，but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2，000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill．"If an average Greek from 1，000 BC were transported to modern times，he or she would be one of the brightest among us，"Crabtree told The Guardian．
    At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea．In the past，intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food．The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death．However，after the spread of agriculture，when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities，the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced．
    This is not hard to understand．Most of the time，pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework； the pressure of looking pretty prompts（促使） you to lose weight when summer comes．And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less，we become less smart．
    These mutations（变异） are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3，000 years．The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes．He found that among the 2，000 to 5，000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence，there are two or more mutations in each of us．
    However，Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities，but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence．For example，spearing a tiger doesn't necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem．Moreover，the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays．
    "You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2，000 years ago．He just wouldn't exist，"Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick，UK，told Live Science．"But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights（洞察力） that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation．"
    61．What is Crabtree's recent finding according to the article？D
    A．The Greeks from 1，000 BC could have been the smartest in human history．
    B．Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays．
    C．Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming．
    D．Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence．
    62．According to Crabtree，ancient humansB
    A．had much more genes that determine human intelligence
    B．were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures
    C．relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence
    D．developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities
    63．Some argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they thinkD．
    A．people today are under much more pressure than early humans
    B．it's ridiculous to compare a hunter's and a poet's intelligence
    C．modern education is far more advanced than ancient education
    D．human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
    64．What is Thomas Hills'attitude toward Crabtree's theory？B
    A．Supportive          B．Unfavorable           C．Worried            D．Confused．

    9．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，you are communicating quite fluently，but：Listening is STILL a problem!First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible．The first step is to find listening resources．The Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
    Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated （懊恼） by limited understanding．What should you do？
    Here is some of the advice I give my students：
    ●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
    ●Stay relaxed when you do not understand-even if you continue not to understand for a long time．
    ●Do not translate what you hear into your native language．
    ●Listen for the general idea of the conversation．Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas．
    I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany．In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually resulted in confusion．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two very important facts．Firstly，translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．By remaining calm，I noticed that-even if I didn't pay much attention，I could usually understand what the speaker had said．
    55．The best way to improve our listening is toB．
    A．practise as much as possible
    B．find as many listening resources as possible
    C．use the Internet like a radio station
    D．speak naturally and read as much as possible
    56．Which of the following is a good habit when listening？B
    A．Try to understand everything．
    B．Try to get the main ideas．
    C．Pay much attention to details．
    D．Translate each word in your mind．
    57．Why did the writer mention his/her experience in Germany？C
    A．To prove the importance of translating．
    B．To show the problems of speaking a foreign language．
    C．To tell us the importance of staying calm．
    D．To point out an ineffective method of listening．
    58．The underlined part"a wall"in the last paragraph refers to"A"．
    A．a communication barrier （障碍）          
    B．culture shock
    C．language understanding 
    D．a little misunderstanding．
