13．If you watched the 2016 Rio Olympic Games，you might have noticed that several athletes，including US swimmer Michael Phelps，had circular bruises on their bodies．These bruises were the results of"cupping therapy"（拔罐疗法）a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for more than 2，000 years．Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction．（吸出）The suction is created either by heating the cup inside or by using a handheld pump．This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup．Sometimes it can leave dark red bruises，other times there is no mark at all．
Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy．Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since，reported ABC News．Another US swimmer，Dana Vollmer，also believes that"it really helps with blood flow，and helps pull swelling out of different areas．"
To figure out whether cupping has many physical effects，last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a sham treatment was provided．In the study，the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment．But in the sham treatment，the cups had a hole at the top so that they cou ldn't create the proper suction．
The tested patients，who suffered from a disorder that causes a lot of pain，were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping of"soft cupping"．But they were not informed that the so-called"soft cupping"was a sham treatment．
It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received．In both groups，patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain．The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself，probably resulting from people feeling that the treatment works，the researchers told the LiveScience Website．
The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered．But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people，"The therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises，nutritional choices and life-style interventions"，Dr Brent Bauer，director of the US'Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program，told LiveScience．

A．He is the greatest US swimmer．
B．He competed in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games．

D．He finds cupping therapy helpful．
29．What's the meaning of the underlined word"sham"in Paragraph 3？B

30．According to the German research，what's the effect of cupping therapy？C
A．It is totally useless．
B．It is satisfactory when it comes to the physical effects．
C．It may depend on patients'belief．
D．It just makes the pain worse．
31．According to the last paragraph，which statement is true？B
A．Cupping therapy is recommended for all people．
B．Cupping therapy can be used with other treatments．
C．Cupping therapy must be used under a doctor's guidance．

3．More than three years after moving from Australia to this remote part of England，we are still learning how things are done here．
Not too long after we arrived and unpacked，we were invited for"a drink on Sunday morning"by a retired couple nearby．We got there about noon，to find the living-room crowded-lots of chat and discussions，and in all a very jolly occasion．
Trouble was，there was no food-no self-respecting Australian would regard a tray of crisps as food．In Sydney，when you are invited for a drink any time after midday on a Sunday，you know you will be fed as well as watered and you plan accordingly．However，the hardworking little woman seemed to have no plans to cook lunch or take us to eat out．
By one-fifteen my stomach was sending up"please explain"to me．Even the crisps had gone．There was nothing we could do except wait，and wonder if the hostess was going to perform some magic and feed us fashionably late．Then，as quickly as word had spread that there was free beer at the local pub，the room emptied．By one-forty-five there were only a few guests left，so we decided to go home．The little woman was not really interested in real cooking for us．
A few weeks ago we were invited out for"supper"and the hostess suggested 8：15．Ah，we thought greedily，"this is going to be the real thing．"
We dressed with some care-I putting on a dark suit-and arrived on time．My wife looked pretty good，I thought-a little black dress and so on．But when we walked in I had a terrible feeling we had got the night wrong because the hostess was dressed in a daytime kind of way and the husband was in jeans and an open-neck shirt．But no，we were greeted and shown into the sitting-room．
After a drink I looked around and saw that this was indeed a superior cottage because it had a （more or less） separate dining-room．But there were no signs of a table-setting．Not again!I thought．Were we meant to eat before we came？I decided that in future my wife and I would always carry a chocolate bar．About 9：28our hostess went out of the room，saying something about food．Ten minutes later she returned and asked us to follow．We were led out to the kitchen．There on the table were country style plates and a huge bowl of soup，rough bread and all the makings of a simple meal．And that is what it was．In other words we had not read the signals right when we were invited for"supper"．If they want you to come to dinner，they say so，and you know that means dark suits and so on．If they mean supper，they say it，and you get fed in the kitchen．
28．When the author and his wife were invited out for"a drink on Sunday morning"，they thoughtA．
A．they would be given lunch as well
B．they would be the only people there
C．they would be taken to a restaurant for lunch
D．they would be asked to take some food with them
29．The"party"had been going on for about an hour and three quarters whenD．
A．everyone had crisps for lunch
B．the hostess decided to feed her guests
C．most of the guests went to lunch at the pub
D．the author realized he would go home hungry
30．When invited out for"supper"a few weeks later，the writerB．
A．arrived on the wrong evening
B．expected to be served a proper dinner
C．interpreted the invitation correctly this time
D．realized there was no dining-room in the cottage
31．As the evening passed，the writer became aware thatD．
A．he should，in future，eat only chocolate in the evening
B．no one used their dining-rooms in the countryside
C．he should have had a meal before going out
D．"supper"meant a simple，informal meal．

4．A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language．As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted，"There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar．"
Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers．"I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through，"Hannah Ashley，a public relations account manager in London，who once studied Spanish in Madrid．told The Guardian，"I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker．I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts．"
In fact，most of the time，jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way．Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand．He had achieved huge success in the US，but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing，he discovered that people didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones．
In Australia，meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache．"The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby，"said Melody Cao，who was once a student in Australia．"When I heard jokes I didn't get，I just laughed along．"
In the other two major English-speaking countries，the sense of humor is also different．British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony-basically，saying something they don't mean to make a joke-every day，people in the US don't see the point of using it so often．"British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark，while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings，a bit like Americans themselves，"he wrote in The Guardian．

67．The writer quoted the sentence，"There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar．"to show thatD．
A．making jokes can help you make friends with native speakers
B．local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better．
C．understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar．
D．to understand its jokes，you'd better learn the culture．
68．What can we guess about Hannah Ashley？D
A．She feels confident in using Spanish．
B．She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language．
C．She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor．
D．She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people．
69．Joe Wong is used as an example toA．
A．show that there are cultural differences in humor
B．prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes
C．suggest that bilingual people have no problems in making people laugh
D．show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor
70．From the article，we can learn thatC．
A．jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people who have different cultural backgrounds
B．Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokes
C．not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily
D．British people's dark jokes often make people uncomfortable．

8．The term"helicopter parents"refers to"a style of parents who are over focused on their children"．
Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25to family problems at age 30，40 or even older．They constantly shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time．
Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons．Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their child's life in an attempt to protect them．Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate with their own children．When parents see other overinvolved parents，it can cause a similar response．They feel that if they don't involve themselves in their children's lives，they are bad parents．
The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire．To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen．Mary called the landlord（房东）to install an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations（协商），her mother rushed in and demanded action．"I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord．We could have gotten it done ourselves．She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，"says Mary．
Obviously，overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite．In the long run parents are actually damaging their child's basic skills to deal with matters independently．It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own．They're winning the battle，but actually losing the war．

29．What's the purpose of helicopter parents'overparenting？A
A．To do something good for their children．
B．To make their children not ignored．
C．To help their children find a good job．
D．To get rid of the pressure from other parents．
30．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．Children who have helicopter parents live a hard life．
B．Helicopter parenting only happens to very young children．
C．Helicopter parents can protect their children against all problems．
D．Helicopter parents do their children great harm in the long run．
31．What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows？B
A．The bad effects of helicopter parenting．
B．How we can avoid being helicopter parents．
C．Different opinions about helicopter parenting．
D．The reasons for the development of helicopter parents．
32．What is the author's attitude towards"helicopter parenting"？D
A．Uninterested．
B．Objective．
C．Positive．
D．Disapproving．

20．We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby…Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are．After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with．We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse（配偶） gets his or her act together，when we get a nice car，and are able to go on a nice vacation and when we retire．The truth is，there's no better time than right now．If not now，when？Our life will always be filled with challenges．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said，"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin----real life．But there was always some obstacle in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．Then life would begin．At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．"This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness．Happiness is the way．So treasure every moment that you have．
And remember that time waits for no one．So stop waiting until you finish school； until you go back to school； until you get married； until you get divorced； until you have kids； until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey，not a destination．So，work like you don't need money，love like you've never been hurt，and dance like no one's watching．
5．Why do we always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby…？B
A．Because happy life is always in the future．
B．Because we don't realize treasuring every moment means happiness．
C．Because no one will be happy until he gets married．
D．Because only if we get to a destination，we can lead a happy life．
6．What does the writer want to tell us？A
A．Time and tide waits for no man，so treasure every moment．
B．Will is power，so do what you want to do．
C．A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed，so do not talk，just do it．
D．So said，so done．So do what you said．
7．According to the text，which of the following is correct？D
A．Life is bound to become better as we expect．
B．You should work because you really need money．
C．You shouldn't dance while others are watching you．
D．You should love as if you had not been hurt．
