    47．C．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests"可知想要收养孩子的人应该找Littleton Children's Home；故选C．
    48．D．主旨大意题．通读全文，可知文章主要在讲各种帮助社会上弱小的成员的组织，由此可见有许多组织试图解决社会问题；故选D．

    13．The air quality has worsened in the Chinese capital since Wednesday，causing renewed discontent among residents．
    Without rainfall and wind to decrease pollutants，particulate matter（颗粒物质） has been accumulating in the air．Most monitoring stations measured PM 10 （particulate matter smaller than 10 micrograms） at higher than 300 micrograms per cubic meter．In southwestern Beijing's Fangshan District，the Liangxiang station recorded 516 micrograms of PM 10 per cubic meter，the highest reading of the day，according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center．More than 150 micrograms is considered harmful to health．
    Beijing has been covered by heavy smog off and on this winter，and the ongoing air concerns are wearing on residents，particularly as they prepare to celebrate the Spring Festival holiday next week．"I almost got choked by the smog when I stepped out of the office building on Wednesday，"said Yang Yanli，24，an accountant．"The smell is so terrible，as though I'm inhaling lots of coal，that it has spoiled my holiday mood．"
    Unlike the smog that hit mostly the southern part of the capital on January 1，the smog in recent days has covered the entire city，according to the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau．Worse yet，it will continue until Saturday，when the wind will pick up and blow it away，the bureau predicted．
    The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggests people stay at home to protect themselves from breathing and heart problems caused by heavy smog and people with breathing problems put off traveling if the smog stays．But many people said they had to brave the bad air to travel，especially migrants who are eager to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival．

    20．We know that sugary sodas aren't good for our bodies．Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds，either．A new study of more than 260，000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression，and diet sodas may be making matters worse．
    Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries-as much as 170 liters per person per year．But the impact of this study isn't limited to the United States．"Sweetened drinks，coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences．And they may have important mental-health consequences as well，"study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement．
    The study studied 263，925 people between the ages of 50 and 71．Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda，tea coffee，and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then.10 years later，asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000．More than 11，3000 of them had．
    Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all．People who stuck with fruit punch（鸡尾酒），had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn't drink sweetened drinks．And all that extra sugar isn't the actual problem．Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame．
    The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression．Still，the results"are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes．"
    But there's a bright side for those who can't live without their daily sodas．Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn't drink any coffee，according to the study．"Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk，"said Chen．

    41．What has the new study of more than 260，000 people found？C
    A．Sugary sodas aren't good for the physical health of old people．
    B．Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods．
    C．Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression．
    D．Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences．
    42．What do we know about the process of the study？D
    A．About twenty-six thousand people participated in it．
    B．The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over．
    C．Most of the participants had depression when the study was over．
    D．The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end．
    43．We infer that the underlined word"aspartame"in Paragraph 4 refers to something thatD
    A．can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks
    B．is used to reduce the risk of depression
    C．is mainly used to make fruit punch
    D．is used to make something．sweet
    44．It is implied in the passage thatA．
    A．more research is needed to confirm the new findings
    B．the new findings aren't consistent with any previous findings
    C．cutting one's sodas intake will surely reduce one's depression
    D．the new findings won't have an impact on people's drinking habits
    45．What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression？B
    A．Sodas．
    B：Unsweetened coffee．
    C．Sugary coffee．
    D．Fruit punch．

    5．Why Laughter Matters
    Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature's great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases，it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out．
    "Laughter above all else is a social thing，"says Baltimore neuroscientist，Robert Provine，who has studied laughter for decades．"All laughter groups laugh‘ha-ha-ha'basically the same way．Whether you speak Mandarin，French or English，everyone will understand laughter．There is a pattern generator（发生器） in our brain that produces this sound．"
    Laughing is our first way of communicating．Babies laugh long before they speak．No one teaches them how to laugh．They just do．People may laugh at a prank（恶作剧） on April Fools'day．But surprisingly，only 10to 15percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke．Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke．Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing，showing that laughter isn't dependent on single sense but on social interactions．
    And laughter is not just a people thing．Chimps tickle（挠痒） each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them．
    Jaak Panksepp，a Bowling Green University Psychology professor，studies rats that laugh when he tickles them．It turns out rats love to be tickled-they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them．
    By studying rats，scientists can figure out what's going on in the brain during laughter．Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor，Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant（抗抑郁药）．He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans，too．This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression．
    Even so，laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine，experts said．Margaret Stuber，a professor at University of California，studied whether laugher helped patients．She found that distraction（分心） and mood improvement helped，but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone．
    "No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit，"Provine said，largely because it's hard to separate laughter from just feeling good．But he thinks it doesn't really matter："Isn't the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough？"

    67．The most important finding of Robert Provine's research is thatA．
    A．laughter makes a person feel good
    B．laughter depends on different senses
    C．laughter is a quality people are born with
    D．laughter is a social response shared by all creatures
    68．According to the passage，scientists studied rats in order to findC．
    A．if they can laugh
    B．if they like laughing
    C．what laughter in rats produces
    D．how rats react while being tickled
    69．What can we learn from the passage？B
    A．Patients will recover if they laugh enough．
    B．Laughter is a means of communication as well as language．
    C．A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research．
    D．Scientists can know what is happening in a human brain when he laughs．
    70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？D

    CP：Central point   P：Point   Sp：Sub-point（次要点）   C：Conclusion．
