7．Questions：
A．What should people look out for when buying a new pair of sports shoes？
B．What kind of technology might we see in sports shoes of the future？
C．Will a more expensive shoe make me run faster or jump higher，as the ads suggest？
D．When you say that expensive shoes are no better at preventing injury than cheap ones，is it true？
E．Some people say we should run just as well without shoes．What's your opinion of that？
F．You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes．Does this design actually work？

46．D
Nigg's Answer：That is a little bit overstated．But the relative frequency of running injuries doesn't seem to have changed much in the past 30years，in spite of all the developments in sports shoe design．The literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development．If you take a group of people and want to injure them，send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run．A lot of them will be injured in three weeks．The major factors are the distance run，the intensity and recovery time，not the shoes．
47．A
Nigg's Answer：The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes，you don't know what to do．Things that are sometimes done，like video analysis of your rear foot movement，may not help．The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels．If you feel comfortable in a shoe，it's likely to be good for you．We did a study with soldiers where we gave them six different inserts，and they chose the one they liked best．In four months those with inserts had 53per cent fewer injuries than those without．
48．C
Nigg's Answer：A shoe may act as a training device，making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users．Or it may use materials that last longer．That may have something to do with its price．However，for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features．Generally，the more a shoe controls movement，the more it acts like a cast，which means you have some muscles that don't work any more．This may mean that you lose some muscle strength，and your feet are more likely to be injured．
49．E
Nigg's Answer：There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot，but there is not yet enough evidence，or enough research，to prove that．If you look at performance，most papers suggest an advantage of 3to 4per cent．With a few exceptions-Abebe Bikila in 1960and Zola Budd in the 1980s-people don't run barefoot，so it may be that it's not an advantage，or it may be that we're just not used to it．
50．F
Nigg's Answer：Yes，for about 80per cent of people．The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint，and a reduction of knee and lower back pain．However，some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated，such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce．

下面是一些需旅游者的喜好．请为他们选择适合他们的旅游地点．
46．When I was young，I used to travel in some modem cities because I used to believe I could broaden my outlook there．However，now I find the best way to cultivate my mind is to get close to the oceans，the forests，the hills and the culture behind the nature．E
47．I am going to travel around several cities near our country in the South America with my girlfriend in this New Year vacation．She is really fond of the ancient tales and stories about a mysterious empire in this old continent．So I am looking for an ideal route to visit Inoa Culture．A
48．Nothing is better than exploring an uninhabited land for a postgraduate majoring in Geography．In a holiday，all my classmates are going to the North Pole and carry on some researches there，but I had to go alone several days after they set off，so I hope I can find a tour route and meet them there．D
49．Although I can enjoy having snow battles with my kids in the winter vacation if we stay at home in China，I would like to take my twins to Egypt，an amazing country in Africa，to feel the different climate，the fantastic Arabic culture and its long history．B
50．As an American-born Turkish，I can speak both English and Turkish fluently，but I have never gone back to my original country to visit the relatives living in Istanbul．So if possible，I'd like to fly there，visiting Istanbul and other cities in this great country．F．

4．If you love adventure and excitement，then Hunter's best-selling Warriors series is for you．The fantasy books follow four cat clans （部落）as they try to survive in the wilderness．In the newest book Thunder Clan warrior，Ash fur has been mysteriously murdered．This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf，Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer．
The three friends must deal with other problems，too．Jay feather is searching for his parents，but he must struggle against many lies to find them．Holly leaf encounters her own barriers when her clan refuses to follow the warrior rule．And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets．Besides，the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever．
"Hunter"is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors，Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry．They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Red Wall，a very successful book written by Brian Jacques．It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice．Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket，they wanted their books to go into the bookshelves next to his．So they needed a name alphabetically that would be close to Jacques．Hunter fits perfectlyi
"My favorite character is Jay feather．You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not．He's got a quite dark side about him．In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend，that would be Cinder pelt．She is so cool．She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat．Even if she isn't a warrior，she tries to make the best of her destiny （命运）．I really admire that in her，"said Victoria Holmes，one of the authors，

3．One day I was walking to the mailbox with my dad，when I saw something drop from a tree．I couldn't（41）D what it was，so I kept my eyes on the spot as we came near．It was a baby bird，which had fallen from its nest．It had long，awkward wings and feet，and（42）A that fought to stay open．It was（43）C，so I sat next to it watching while my dad got the mail．I（44）Dits nest and mother，（45）C what would happen to it．
My dad and we had to（46）B it；there was nothing we could do．He said if the bird mother smelled any traces（踪迹）of（47）B，she wouldn't go near the（48）C again．
As we began to walk away，a woman（49）C．"Did it fall out of a nest？"she asked．
"Yeah．"I answered．
"It（50）A a lot．Not much we can do，"she said．"Try not to think about it when you go to sleep tonight．"

2．iPads vs．Textbooks
What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips？In the first month of the Apple iPads release，25million were sold!People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things，but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook．（36）F
To begin with，iPad are less expensive．Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books，but with an iPad schools can update them for free．（37）C Schools don't have to spend $500every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated．
（38）E Students usually have multiple classes，which results in multiple textbooks．Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problem．A solution to that is an iPad，which only weighs 1.33pounds and can hold all of a student's textbooks．
Third，schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more capabilities．Some might think all of the apps are distracting，but the apps actually make iPads more efficient．（39）G Textbooks cannot do those tasks，but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip．
Lastly，iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time．（40）A With iPads，they find it easier to get their homework done．
In conclusion，schools should get rid of their clumsy textbooks and switch to iPads．iPads have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm of their hands．

A．These tablets are perfect for busy students．
B．Second，iPads cost less and are more popular．
C．Therefore，they can use the saved money for other programs．
D．iPads have already replaced textbooks in over 600American counties．
E．Moreover，in high school，textbooks have an average of 4.8pounds each．
F．Schools have every reason to do away with their school books and switch to iPads．
G．iPads absorb the need to buy calculators，dictionaries，and other items that are found within the device．

1．Washington：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95kilometres thick，which is about 10times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150kilometres of ice．
While scientists have speculated（推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede------the largest moon in our solar system------until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplished．In its 25years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

28．What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passageB？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
29．Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards HubbleD？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
30．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 meanC？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europe．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europe is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean ion Europe．
D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europe．
31．What type of writing does this passage belong toB？
A．A term essay                           
B．A news report
C．An experiment report               
D．An exploration review．
