【题目】Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you’ve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety.
Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s way of telling you about danger. It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.
Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations. There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
Being anxious also probably runs in families. If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up.
Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.If you have an anxiety problem it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, and may become worse and worse.
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety. These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs.

【题目】B
A new study confirms what most people already know: American women are still far behind American men in taking top leadership jobs in business and politics.
The Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. produced the study. Pew researchers found that most Americans believe women have the right qualities to be leaders. But they say women may still not be hired into leadership positions.
“On the one hand, the public thinks that women are just as qualified as men to be in top leadership positions, in business and in government, on the other hand the public feels it is easier for men to get those jobs, and the public is also skeptical that things are going to change in the future, particularly on the business front.”
Kim Parker directs social trends at the Pew Research Center. She says the new study found that Americans think men and women have the same intelligence and ability to create new things. But Americans think women and men have some different abilities.
For instance, they believe women are especially good at finding compromises. In other words, women can find ways for people to agree, or at least accept solutions. The study also found Americans see women as more compassionate (有同情心的) and organized leaders than men.
Americans also believe women are better leaders for social issues, such as education and health care. But Americans see men as better leaders on national defense and security.
【1】From the first paragraph we can know that ______.
A. American women are much better than men in business and politics.
B. American men are still ahead of American women as leaders in business and politics.
C. American women are still ahead of American men as top leaders in business and politics.
D. American women are equal to American men in taking top leadership jobs in business and politics..
【2】According to the new study, Americans think men and women are equal in ______.
A. some different abilities.
B. politics and government.
C. intelligence and ability to create new things.
D. top leadership positions and education.
【3】What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Women are especially good at finding compromises.
B. Americans see men as more compassionate and organized leaders than women.
C. women are better leaders for social issues, such as national defense and health care.

【题目】C
Penguins can taste only sour and salty food, scientists have discovered. A genetic study suggests the flightless birds lost three of the five basic tastes long ago in evolution.
Taste is critical for survival in most animals, but may not matter in the penguin, which swallows fish whole, say researchers in China and the US.
Many other birds are unable to taste sweet things, but they do have receptors (感受器) for detecting bitter and umami (or meaty) flavours. The discovery was made when researchers decoding penguin genomes found some of the taste genes were missing. A closer look at the DNA of penguins revealed that all species lack functioning genes for the receptors of sweet, umami, and bitter tastes.
“Based on genetic data, penguins are believed to have sour and salty tastes, but have lost sweet, umami, and bitter tastes,” lead researcher Prof Jianzhi Zhang, of the University of Michigan, US, and Wuhan University, China, told the reporter.
The umami taste gives food the strong, savoury (咸味的) flavour associated with meat. Lacking this sense is surprising for a carnivorous (食肉的) animal, but does not matter that much in the penguin, which swallows fish without chewing. “Their behaviour of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguins need no taste perception,” said Prof Zhang. “Although it is unclear whether these traits (特点) are a cause or a consequence of their major taste loss.” The findings, published in Current Biology journal, were a puzzle, he added.
One clue comes from the bird’s evolution on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica. Sending signals from sweet, umami, and bitter (but not sour or salty) taste receptors to the brain does not work at very low temperatures. This may have led to the penguin gradually losing its sense of taste, say the researchers.
Intriguingly(有趣的是), the sweet taste is missing in almost all birds. The hummingbird, which feeds on sweet nectar, is an exception.
【1】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Penguins lost ability to taste fish
B. The life of penguins
C. The findings of researchers in China and USA
D. Penguins living on Antarctica
【2】Which of the following animals can taste sweet flavour according to the passage?
A. The penguin. B. The hummingbird.
C. The polar bear. D. The fish.
【3】What was the discovery made by the researchers when decoding penguin genomes?
A. Some of the taste genes were missing.
B. Penguins are believed to have sweet and salty tastes.
C. The bird’s evolution on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica.
D. Taste is critical for survival in most animals.
【4】Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A. Penguins swallow fish without chewing.
B. The findings were published in Current Biology journal.
C. Sending signals from sweet, umami, and bitter taste receptors to the brain does not work at very low temperatures.
D. Prof Jianzhi Zhang was the lead researcher of a university in UK, and Wuhan University, China.

【题目】Accurately forecasting the weather is a very hard thing to do. There are many parts of weather dynamics — the study of how water and air in motion cause weather patterns — to consider. Even the best forecast can be changed by a small weather disturbance halfway around the world. Today’s forecast use complex computer models, weather instruments, and detailed analyses of daily observations to predict the weather. However, it hasn’t always been that way. People, like your grandparents, use folklore and proverbs to help forecast the weather. They remembered what conditions caused changes and observed the factors associated with weather: atmospheric and cloud conditions, temperature, winds, and reactions of plants and animals. Many people believe that this way of forecasting weather is accurate more often than modem forecasting.
Grandma’s aching joints might indicate the arrival of a low-pressure system. She might also observe the geese flying lower than usual, confirming the low-pressure system. Finally, she might feel dampness on her skin, a sign of high humidity (湿度). Based on these three observations, grandma might warn that a storm is brewing.
Joints and nerves can indicate dropping air pressure, dissolved gases in the blood form bubbles under low air pressure. This causes pain in joints and nerve endings. Geese and other birds respond to changes in air pressure by adjusting how high they fly. In the fair, calm weather of a high-pressure system, the birds fly higher than in the stormy weather associated with a low-pressure system.
Nature provides other clues to changing weather. A decrease in air pressure causes deer and elk to come down from the mountains to look for shelter. Some animals feed more than usual. The higher humidity before a storm causes some insects to leave the trees and gather near the ground. Some flowers close so rain doesn’t get inside them. In winter, rhododendron plants curl up to protect themselves as the temperature drops.
Several of the sayings apply in particular areas of the world. Here are some of them.
■Early thunder, early spring.
■Rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning.
■When teeth and bones ache, expect the clouds to fill the lake.
■When high clouds and low clouds do not match together, prepare for a blow and a change in the weather.
【1】It is true that ___________.
A. using folklore and proverbs to forecast weather is more accurate than modem forecasting
B. complex computer models and weather instruments can always forecast weather accurately
C. modern forecasting cannot always guarantee accurate weather forecasting for some reason
D. modem forecasting along with other observations is sure to give accurate weather forecast
【2】In a low-pressure system, you may notice the following EXCEPT that ___________.
A. some birds will be seen flying near the surface of the earth
B. some flowers close so rain doesn’t get inside
C. some animals come down from mountains
D. some insects disappear from ground
【3】It is a fact that the behavior of plants and animals is _________.
A. likely to reflect long-term weather forecasting
B. likely to reflect short-term weather forecasting
C. unlikely to reflect any kind of weather forecasting
D. more likely to reflect both short-term and long term weather forecasting
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. People can forecast weather with no modern equipment.
B. How to use proverbs to forecast weather forecasting.
C. Hard as it is, weather forecasting has a scientific base.
D. The importance of weather forecasting.

【题目】You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
【1】What should you consider first while sailing?
A. Sailors’ strength B. Wave levels
C. Wind directions D. Size of sails.
【2】What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The boat B. The wind
C. The sail D. The angle
【3】What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A. Move in a straight line.
B. Allow the sail to flap.
C. Lower the sail.
D. Tack the boat.
【4】Where can you probably find the text?
A. In a popular magazine. B. In a tourist guidebook.
C. In a physics textbook. D. In an official report.

【题目】I love sleeping. It’s something I’m good at. There’s nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night, I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. There is one place where I never nap (打盹) and that’s at work--but new research suggests I should!
The idea of you and your colleagues heading off for a lie down in the afternoon may seem strange, but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it. Because it’s thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused, and this in turn makes them more productive.
An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a “naptivist”! She says: “I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it… It’s time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder.”
So should we all be taking a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us? A few years ago, research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desk. That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed--and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace.
A nap in the afternoon is nothing new. In certain hot countries, such as Spain, a short rest or sleep in the afternoon-called a siesta-is perfectly normal. So maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and take up the siesta. The UK’s Sleep Council claims the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more sleep-friendly working day.
【1】Why are the employees of Google allowed to nap in the workplace?
A. They are expected to work better.
B. They can’t focus their attention on the work.
C. They are running the Nap Now campaign.
D. They have difficulty in falling sleep at night.
【2】The underlined word “naptivist” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to someone who ______.
A. takes no nap at work
B. enjoys napping at work
C. studies sleeping at work
D. fights against working long hours
【3】According to the passage, what can we learn about siesta?
A. It is a newly practiced pattern.
B. It has been taken up in Finland.
C. It is sort of traditional work culture.
D. It fits into the natural sleeping pattern.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain how to nap at work.
B. To show how the new study was carried out.
C. To tell us the importance of sleeping at work.
D. To call for the more sleep-friendly work culture.
