第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
[A]
Welcome to the Civic Art Museum's Exhibit of West African Art, showing pieces from our collections.
Background
The peoples of West Africa, including the Yoruba, the Dogon, the Igbo, and the Akan, have a long art tradition. Tribes (部落) in the area have developed different styles of art and architecture that are suited to the climate and available materials and based on their traditions.
Gallery A: Photographs of Traditional West African Architecture
This section shows historical and contemporary photographs of traditional West African architecture. Of particular interest are the photographs of the Dogon village. The design of the Dogon village is based on the human figure. Certain types of buildings are placed in particular areas according to the Dogon's complex philosophical tradition. For example, the men's houses are placed in the “head” of the village, the leader's house is in the “chest,” and the women's houses are in the “hands.”
Gallery B: West African Masks
The art of mask making is well developed in West Africa. Masks are important to West African traditions and have clear social, political, and economic roles. However, most masks are worn only at particular times or on special occasions. For example, among the Dan and the Kota, certain people wear special masks to show their power when they act as judges and policemen within the community. Among the Bambara of Mali, headdresses are worn during planting and harvest celebrations.
Gallery C: West African Sculptures
West African sculptures are made from materials such as metal or wood. They are based on tribal traditions and are quite different. The Dogon are especially known for making figures of their ancestors (祖先). They believe their ancestors, called Nommo, came down from the sky at the beginning of time. Nommo figures are often shown with their hands reaching out to the sky. The collection contains several wonderful examples of Nommo sculptures.
21. What is special about Dogon houses
A. They are shaped like human beings.
B. They are designed by the village leader.
C. They are grouped according to tradition.
D. They have many photographs inside them.
22. West African masks _____.
A. have recently developed
B. play many different roles
C. are mainly worn at harvest time
D. show the everyday life of the Dan
23. What do we know about the Dogon people
A. They are afraid of Nommo figures.
B. They make statues of their ancestors.
C. They believe they will return to the sky.
D. They straighten their arms to show respect.
[B]
I am a member of the Young People's Chorus (合唱团) (YPC) of New York City. The chorus is made up of children ages 8 to 18. I've been in the chorus for almost five years, and I love the community of“young artists.”Every year, we give a big performance to raise money for the organization. It's the biggest concert of the year and is held at Lincoln Center. A lot of work goes into the final performance.
First, we begin learning our music. We usually start by learning the notes, and then we add the words. Someone comes in to teach us the meaning and pronunciation of the lyrics if the words are not in English.
Next, we memorize the whole song, even if we only sing part of it. One of the hardest pieces we sang this year was Tjak!, a song inspired by a Balinese Monkey Chant. It has four parts, each with a different rhythm (节奏).
Once we add dynamics (力度变化) to our songs to give them life, it's time to add choreography. Jacquie Bird, the director, tells us to connect the words we sing to our movements as we breathe and count in our heads.
As we get closer to the concert night, the rehearsals (彩排) get tougher. Sometimes, we do a quick review, and sometimes we sing the whole song. My knees and arms start to ache. But once we get a break and some food, we come back feeling better. We rehearse on weekends for almost a month beforehand; every moment is important and worth it.
The real excitement comes during the rehearsal, when we meet our guest artists. This year, YPC invited Mandy Gonzales, Alexandra Socha, and Time for Three to join us. After hearing that we would work with them, we jumped up and down backstage as quietly as we could.
Showtime! We sang with musical guests and performed dances that seemed as if they came straight from a Broadway show. At the end of the night, we screamed with excitement backstage. For all of us, pulling off the biggest performance of the year felt great.
24. Why is a big performance given yearly
A. To collect money for YPC.
B. To pick excellent performers.
C. To show kids' talent for acting.
D. To celebrate the success of YPC.
25. What does the underlined word “choreography” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Lyrics.
B. Games.
C. Videos.
D. Dances.
26. What excites the author most during the rehearsal
A. Getting a rest after tough hours.
B. Working with Jacquie.
C. Meeting guest artists.
D. Having some food.
27. How did the author feel at the end of the concert night
A. Shocked.
B. Regretful.
C. Thankful.
D. Overjoyed.

Can you imagine a bicycle that has an iPhone on its handle and provides navigation tools and fitness information, along with data collectors that measure air pollution This is just the beginning of the list of things that this dynamic new bicycle, known as the Copenhagen Wheel, is capable of. The biggest characteristic of this bike is its red hub (轮轴) on the back wheel, where the brain of the bike stores power, increases speed, monitors the rider's exercise, and collects data from the air and the environment. The data that is collected is put onto a public website so citizens can find out what their city's atmosphere is like during the day.
The Copenhagen Wheel comes to us from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S.A. It was developed by a part of MIT that is putting “intelligence” into everyday things that are a part of the infrastructure (基本设施) of our cities. Researchers from MIT chose the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change to show off the new bicycle, and early feedback (反馈) was very positive.
The goal of the Copenhagen Wheel project is to promote (促进) cycling by lengthening the distance people can cover. In addition, the makers ensure the whole bike riding experience is smoother so that even steep roads are no longer a problem for comfortable cycling. This new bicycle is also perfect for protecting the environment, and many big cities are making plans to encourage their citizens to use this two-wheeler when they go to and from work. The director of the Copenhagen Wheel project, Christine Outram, expects that this new bike will help lead the charge of smart transportation into the 21st century. She is fully convinced that many big cities will see the benefits of promoting this type of cycling to their citizens.
28. What's the key characteristic of the Copenhagen Wheel
A. The red hub.
B. The fast speed.
C. The data collector.
D. The iPhone on its handle.
29. What is the use of the collected data
A. To record the rider's fitness information.
B. To monitor the condition of the bicycle.
C. To help improve riders' exercise plans.
D. To show what the environment is like.
30. What did people think of the Copenhagen Wheel at the beginning
A. They doubted it.
B. They welcomed it.
C. They were surprised by it.
D. They were uninterested in it.
31. What's the main purpose of the Copenhagen Wheel project
A. To improve public transportation.
B. To make steep road riding comfortable.
C. To encourage citizens to do more cycling.
D. To make citizens' riding safer than before.

The idea of cloning your pet sounds like a laughable waste of money, because it is. But it starts to seem a little less laughable when your own beloved pet starts getting older. If I had had a few hundred thousand dollars to spare, I know I would have half-seriously considered it for my dear little cat, who died last year. One couple that does happen to have a few hundred thousand dollars to spare is Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg, who have reportedly cloned their beloved Jack Russell Terrier (a kind of dog), Shannon, and now have two identical Jack Russell Terriers, named Deena and Evita.
When your pet dies, you just want your pet back, or at least as close a copy as you can get. So it's really no surprise that of the around 600 dogs cloned by Sooam Biotech Research Foundation most were cloned for sad pet owners. The lab in Seoul, South Korea, is now the only place on the planet in the business of cloning pet dogs for owners.
But, in fact, the technology won't give you your pet back. There don't yet appear to be any studies on the behavior of cloned pets, but research on cloned cows and pigs has so far shown marked differences in behavior and even looks in cloned animals. The DNA is exactly the same, but there are still differences in personality and appearance.
Even if Diller and von Furstenburg raise their new dogs in the exact same environment in the exact same way that they raised Shannon, the new dogs will still behave differently. “The promise of pet cloning is that your cloned pet is going to behave and look like the one you already have — and that will not be the case (情况),” said Professor Jorge Piedrahita at N.C. State. “We've cloned animals that were raised in the same environment, but they still didn't act the same.”
32. What can we learn about the lab in Seoul
A. It was set up by some pet owners.
B. It has cloned hundreds of pet dogs.
C. It charges nothing for its services.
D. It has cloned a cat for the author.
33. Why does the author mention the studies on cloned cows and pigs
A. To explain why farm animals are cloned.
B. To discuss why pet cloning is so popular.
C. To show cloned animals are very different from each other.
D. To prove cloning is not a good way to bring pets from the dead.
34. What will the couple be likely to find out about their new dogs
A. They'll grow in a very strange way.
B. They'll dislike their new environment.
C. They'll act differently from Shannon.
D. They'll have the same personality as Shannon.
35. What was Piedrahita's attitude towards the lab's promise of pet cloning
A. He disbelieved it.
B. He was worried about it.
C. He was cautious about it.
D. He showed much interest in it.

Audrey Hepburn was born in Belgium in 1929. She liked to spend time with her father. Perhaps he was not a warm father, but he was joyous and joked a lot. He had his horses, spoke 13 languages, and would take her gliding (滑翔). 36 When she was six, Audrey's father walked out.
It was the first major blow in her life. From then on, Audrey's childhood was unsettled. Her mother decided that it might be a good idea for her to learn English, so she sent her to a boarding school. 37 She felt like an outsider, but she learned English.
Very soon the war broke out. Audrey's mother sent for Audrey to join her in Holland. They were taken in by Audrey's wealthy grandfather. Within a year, the Nazis turned against the Dutch. Then there was no heating, no school and no food. 38 She showed remarkable resilience (迅速恢复的能力) during the war.
Audrey made her performance debut (初次表演) by dancing in wartime Holland. She didn't know how long the war was going to last, so she went to ballet (芭蕾舞) school and learned to dance. 39 After the war ended, Audrey carried on with her ballet training. In 1951, a famous French writer was looking for a leading lady for her best-loved novel. 40 Audrey was to take America by storm.
A. And then everything changed.
B. Yet, Audrey's spirit shone through.
C. But it was difficult for Audrey to fit in.
D. When she saw Audrey, she famously said, “I've found my Gigi!”
E. It played an important role in making her more famous than ever.
F. About a year before the end of the war, she became quite an excellent performer.
G. In May, 1940, Audrey and her family crossed the border and went into Holland.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
[A]
It is National Sleep Awareness Week and reflecting on the importance of this basic act is timely. As a preventive cardiologist (心脏病专家), I work with patients who want to improve their health and lengthen their lives. Many of them have major risk factors for heart disease; others already have full-blown heart disease or have experienced a heart attack.
Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: Eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol (酒). Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.
But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They're discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.
When that news started coming out, doctors began tagging (添加) sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But I don't think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top! I believe that getting enough sleep — at least seven to eight hours per night for most people — is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.
Sure, I'd prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I'd pick sleep because when you are well-rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and you have the resilience you need to kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you're exhausted, everything in life is more difficult.
1. What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions
A. They should be reconsidered.
B. They are the best ways found so far.
C. They are not as helpful as expected.
D. They help improve people's health.
2. What does the latest research show
A. Various factors lead to good heart health.
B. Enough sleep contributes to good heart health.
C. Seven hours' sleep is most important to the heart.
D. The chance of dying of heart disease has dropped.
3. What was the doctors' reaction to the news on sleep
A. They tried to ignore it.
B. They discussed it publicly.
C. They thought it made sense.
D. They totally changed their mind.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.
B. Why different factors need to work together.
C. What prevents people from living healthily.
D. Why the author makes sleep his No. 1 suggestion.
[B]
Exams force students into reviewing what they have been taught, a key to the learning process. But I believe the Montgomery experiment of getting rid of high school final exams is worth a try because it could lead more students to take a different set of final exams that are much better than those the school system is giving up, and it could push students into taking more college-level courses.
The alternatives are the college-level exams taken at the end of Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Cambridge courses already available in Montgomery high schools.
The exams are at least three hours long, compared with two hours for finals in Montgomery County. They usually have more challenging questions and, most important, are written and graded by independent experts who do not know the students they are grading.
This is the key difference. AP and IB graders don't give test takers a break. In Montgomery, final exams are the victim of political or parental pressure for higher scores or easier questions. AP teachers asked to let up can say that if they do so, their students will get bad grades on an exam they do not control.
Some Montgomery parents cringe at the idea of more such courses because their children are already taking three, four or more a year. I don't think such students need to do any more than they are doing. But why not ask the thousands of students each year who do not take these courses and exams to give them a try Just one AP or IB won't hurt them. They will have more time to study for the exams because there no longer will be any regular finals to worry about.
Offering such difficult courses to students who might struggle will displease Stanley Kurtz, who works at the Ethics and Public Policy Centers. He argues that schools should not let students take them if there is little likelihood of them passing the test.
I think we should first observe schools like Washington-Lee, where skilled teachers find that students who fail AP or IB exams still learn much more than they would in easier courses. Montgomery will expand its efforts to see how much more those students can benefit from something more challenging.
5. What plays a key role in making college-level exams different from high school finals
A. They last for longer hours.
B. They have harder questions.
C. The graders are unaffected.
D. The students get higher scores.
6. Which can best replace the underlined part “cringe at” in Paragraph 5
A. Test.
B. Dislike.
C. Produce.
D. Encourage.
7. What's Stanley Kurtz's attitude towards high schoolers taking college-level courses
A. He is against it.
B. He is in favor of it.
C. He feels it's worth a try.
D. He thinks it must be painful.
8. What does the author think of Cambridge courses
A. They put pressure on students.
B. They help students learn more.
C. They are easy for most students.
D. They free students from doing exams.

One possible version：
Bike-sharing systems have been growing in popularity across our country, on whose advantages and disadvantages people disagree.
People who support bike-sharing hold that it makes our life more convenient and it's great for the environment, for bikes cause no pollution. Besides, it's quite cheap to rent a bike. But others argue that there are hidden dangers in the bikes because of poor management. What's more, some people drop their bikes off at any location, which causes traffic jams.
As for me, I'm for the first view. It'll be beneficial to us as long as necessary measures are taken to improve the management.

[A]
Welcome to the Civic Art Museum's Exhibit of West African Art, showing pieces from our collections.
Background
The peoples of West Africa, including the Yoruba, the Dogon, the Igbo, and the Akan, have a long art tradition. Tribes (部落) in the area have developed different styles of art and architecture that are suited to the climate and available materials and based on their traditions.
Gallery A: Photographs of Traditional West African Architecture
This section shows historical and contemporary photographs of traditional West African architecture. Of particular interest are the photographs of the Dogon village. The design of the Dogon village is based on the human figure. Certain types of buildings are placed in particular areas according to the Dogon's complex philosophical tradition. For example, the men's houses are placed in the “head” of the village, the leader's house is in the “chest,” and the women's houses are in the “hands.”
Gallery B: West African Masks
The art of mask making is well developed in West Africa. Masks are important to West African traditions and have clear social, political, and economic roles. However, most masks are worn only at particular times or on special occasions. For example, among the Dan and the Kota, certain people wear special masks to show their power when they act as judges and policemen within the community. Among the Bambara of Mali, headdresses are worn during planting and harvest celebrations.
Gallery C: West African Sculptures
West African sculptures are made from materials such as metal or wood. They are based on tribal traditions and are quite different. The Dogon are especially known for making figures of their ancestors (祖先). They believe their ancestors, called Nommo, came down from the sky at the beginning of time. Nommo figures are often shown with their hands reaching out to the sky. The collection contains several wonderful examples of Nommo sculptures.
21. What is special about Dogon houses
A. They are shaped like human beings.
B. They are designed by the village leader.
C. They are grouped according to tradition.
D. They have many photographs inside them.
22. West African masks _____.
A. have recently developed
B. play many different roles
C. are mainly worn at harvest time
D. show the everyday life of the Dan
23. What do we know about the Dogon people
A. They are afraid of Nommo figures.
B. They make statues of their ancestors.
C. They believe they will return to the sky.
D. They straighten their arms to show respect.
[B]
I am a member of the Young People's Chorus (合唱团) (YPC) of New York City. The chorus is made up of children ages 8 to 18. I've been in the chorus for almost five years, and I love the community of“young artists.”Every year, we give a big performance to raise money for the organization. It's the biggest concert of the year and is held at Lincoln Center. A lot of work goes into the final performance.
First, we begin learning our music. We usually start by learning the notes, and then we add the words. Someone comes in to teach us the meaning and pronunciation of the lyrics if the words are not in English.
Next, we memorize the whole song, even if we only sing part of it. One of the hardest pieces we sang this year was Tjak!, a song inspired by a Balinese Monkey Chant. It has four parts, each with a different rhythm (节奏).
Once we add dynamics (力度变化) to our songs to give them life, it's time to add choreography. Jacquie Bird, the director, tells us to connect the words we sing to our movements as we breathe and count in our heads.
As we get closer to the concert night, the rehearsals (彩排) get tougher. Sometimes, we do a quick review, and sometimes we sing the whole song. My knees and arms start to ache. But once we get a break and some food, we come back feeling better. We rehearse on weekends for almost a month beforehand; every moment is important and worth it.
The real excitement comes during the rehearsal, when we meet our guest artists. This year, YPC invited Mandy Gonzales, Alexandra Socha, and Time for Three to join us. After hearing that we would work with them, we jumped up and down backstage as quietly as we could.
Showtime! We sang with musical guests and performed dances that seemed as if they came straight from a Broadway show. At the end of the night, we screamed with excitement backstage. For all of us, pulling off the biggest performance of the year felt great.
24. Why is a big performance given yearly
A. To collect money for YPC.
B. To pick excellent performers.
C. To show kids' talent for acting.
D. To celebrate the success of YPC.
25. What does the underlined word “choreography” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Lyrics.
B. Games.
C. Videos.
D. Dances.
26. What excites the author most during the rehearsal
A. Getting a rest after tough hours.
B. Working with Jacquie.
C. Meeting guest artists.
D. Having some food.
27. How did the author feel at the end of the concert night
A. Shocked.
B. Regretful.
C. Thankful.
D. Overjoyed.

Can you imagine a bicycle that has an iPhone on its handle and provides navigation tools and fitness information, along with data collectors that measure air pollution This is just the beginning of the list of things that this dynamic new bicycle, known as the Copenhagen Wheel, is capable of. The biggest characteristic of this bike is its red hub (轮轴) on the back wheel, where the brain of the bike stores power, increases speed, monitors the rider's exercise, and collects data from the air and the environment. The data that is collected is put onto a public website so citizens can find out what their city's atmosphere is like during the day.
The Copenhagen Wheel comes to us from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S.A. It was developed by a part of MIT that is putting “intelligence” into everyday things that are a part of the infrastructure (基本设施) of our cities. Researchers from MIT chose the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change to show off the new bicycle, and early feedback (反馈) was very positive.
The goal of the Copenhagen Wheel project is to promote (促进) cycling by lengthening the distance people can cover. In addition, the makers ensure the whole bike riding experience is smoother so that even steep roads are no longer a problem for comfortable cycling. This new bicycle is also perfect for protecting the environment, and many big cities are making plans to encourage their citizens to use this two-wheeler when they go to and from work. The director of the Copenhagen Wheel project, Christine Outram, expects that this new bike will help lead the charge of smart transportation into the 21st century. She is fully convinced that many big cities will see the benefits of promoting this type of cycling to their citizens.
28. What's the key characteristic of the Copenhagen Wheel
A. The red hub.
B. The fast speed.
C. The data collector.
D. The iPhone on its handle.
29. What is the use of the collected data
A. To record the rider's fitness information.
B. To monitor the condition of the bicycle.
C. To help improve riders' exercise plans.
D. To show what the environment is like.
30. What did people think of the Copenhagen Wheel at the beginning
A. They doubted it.
B. They welcomed it.
C. They were surprised by it.
D. They were uninterested in it.
31. What's the main purpose of the Copenhagen Wheel project
A. To improve public transportation.
B. To make steep road riding comfortable.
C. To encourage citizens to do more cycling.
D. To make citizens' riding safer than before.

The idea of cloning your pet sounds like a laughable waste of money, because it is. But it starts to seem a little less laughable when your own beloved pet starts getting older. If I had had a few hundred thousand dollars to spare, I know I would have half-seriously considered it for my dear little cat, who died last year. One couple that does happen to have a few hundred thousand dollars to spare is Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg, who have reportedly cloned their beloved Jack Russell Terrier (a kind of dog), Shannon, and now have two identical Jack Russell Terriers, named Deena and Evita.
When your pet dies, you just want your pet back, or at least as close a copy as you can get. So it's really no surprise that of the around 600 dogs cloned by Sooam Biotech Research Foundation most were cloned for sad pet owners. The lab in Seoul, South Korea, is now the only place on the planet in the business of cloning pet dogs for owners.
But, in fact, the technology won't give you your pet back. There don't yet appear to be any studies on the behavior of cloned pets, but research on cloned cows and pigs has so far shown marked differences in behavior and even looks in cloned animals. The DNA is exactly the same, but there are still differences in personality and appearance.
Even if Diller and von Furstenburg raise their new dogs in the exact same environment in the exact same way that they raised Shannon, the new dogs will still behave differently. “The promise of pet cloning is that your cloned pet is going to behave and look like the one you already have — and that will not be the case (情况),” said Professor Jorge Piedrahita at N.C. State. “We've cloned animals that were raised in the same environment, but they still didn't act the same.”
32. What can we learn about the lab in Seoul
A. It was set up by some pet owners.
B. It has cloned hundreds of pet dogs.
C. It charges nothing for its services.
D. It has cloned a cat for the author.
33. Why does the author mention the studies on cloned cows and pigs
A. To explain why farm animals are cloned.
B. To discuss why pet cloning is so popular.
C. To show cloned animals are very different from each other.
D. To prove cloning is not a good way to bring pets from the dead.
34. What will the couple be likely to find out about their new dogs
A. They'll grow in a very strange way.
B. They'll dislike their new environment.
C. They'll act differently from Shannon.
D. They'll have the same personality as Shannon.
35. What was Piedrahita's attitude towards the lab's promise of pet cloning
A. He disbelieved it.
B. He was worried about it.
C. He was cautious about it.
D. He showed much interest in it.

Audrey Hepburn was born in Belgium in 1929. She liked to spend time with her father. Perhaps he was not a warm father, but he was joyous and joked a lot. He had his horses, spoke 13 languages, and would take her gliding (滑翔). 36 When she was six, Audrey's father walked out.
It was the first major blow in her life. From then on, Audrey's childhood was unsettled. Her mother decided that it might be a good idea for her to learn English, so she sent her to a boarding school. 37 She felt like an outsider, but she learned English.
Very soon the war broke out. Audrey's mother sent for Audrey to join her in Holland. They were taken in by Audrey's wealthy grandfather. Within a year, the Nazis turned against the Dutch. Then there was no heating, no school and no food. 38 She showed remarkable resilience (迅速恢复的能力) during the war.
Audrey made her performance debut (初次表演) by dancing in wartime Holland. She didn't know how long the war was going to last, so she went to ballet (芭蕾舞) school and learned to dance. 39 After the war ended, Audrey carried on with her ballet training. In 1951, a famous French writer was looking for a leading lady for her best-loved novel. 40 Audrey was to take America by storm.
A. And then everything changed.
B. Yet, Audrey's spirit shone through.
C. But it was difficult for Audrey to fit in.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
[A]
It is National Sleep Awareness Week and reflecting on the importance of this basic act is timely. As a preventive cardiologist (心脏病专家), I work with patients who want to improve their health and lengthen their lives. Many of them have major risk factors for heart disease; others already have full-blown heart disease or have experienced a heart attack.
Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: Eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol (酒). Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.
But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They're discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.
When that news started coming out, doctors began tagging (添加) sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But I don't think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top! I believe that getting enough sleep — at least seven to eight hours per night for most people — is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.
Sure, I'd prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I'd pick sleep because when you are well-rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and you have the resilience you need to kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you're exhausted, everything in life is more difficult.
1. What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions
A. They should be reconsidered.
B. They are the best ways found so far.
C. They are not as helpful as expected.
D. They help improve people's health.
2. What does the latest research show
A. Various factors lead to good heart health.
B. Enough sleep contributes to good heart health.
C. Seven hours' sleep is most important to the heart.
D. The chance of dying of heart disease has dropped.
3. What was the doctors' reaction to the news on sleep
A. They tried to ignore it.
B. They discussed it publicly.
C. They thought it made sense.
D. They totally changed their mind.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.
B. Why different factors need to work together.
C. What prevents people from living healthily.
D. Why the author makes sleep his No. 1 suggestion.
[B]
Exams force students into reviewing what they have been taught, a key to the learning process. But I believe the Montgomery experiment of getting rid of high school final exams is worth a try because it could lead more students to take a different set of final exams that are much better than those the school system is giving up, and it could push students into taking more college-level courses.
The alternatives are the college-level exams taken at the end of Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Cambridge courses already available in Montgomery high schools.
The exams are at least three hours long, compared with two hours for finals in Montgomery County. They usually have more challenging questions and, most important, are written and graded by independent experts who do not know the students they are grading.
This is the key difference. AP and IB graders don't give test takers a break. In Montgomery, final exams are the victim of political or parental pressure for higher scores or easier questions. AP teachers asked to let up can say that if they do so, their students will get bad grades on an exam they do not control.
Some Montgomery parents cringe at the idea of more such courses because their children are already taking three, four or more a year. I don't think such students need to do any more than they are doing. But why not ask the thousands of students each year who do not take these courses and exams to give them a try Just one AP or IB won't hurt them. They will have more time to study for the exams because there no longer will be any regular finals to worry about.
Offering such difficult courses to students who might struggle will displease Stanley Kurtz, who works at the Ethics and Public Policy Centers. He argues that schools should not let students take them if there is little likelihood of them passing the test.
I think we should first observe schools like Washington-Lee, where skilled teachers find that students who fail AP or IB exams still learn much more than they would in easier courses. Montgomery will expand its efforts to see how much more those students can benefit from something more challenging.
5. What plays a key role in making college-level exams different from high school finals
A. They last for longer hours.
B. They have harder questions.
C. The graders are unaffected.
D. The students get higher scores.
6. Which can best replace the underlined part “cringe at” in Paragraph 5
A. Test.
B. Dislike.
C. Produce.
D. Encourage.
7. What's Stanley Kurtz's attitude towards high schoolers taking college-level courses
A. He is against it.
B. He is in favor of it.
C. He feels it's worth a try.
D. He thinks it must be painful.
8. What does the author think of Cambridge courses
A. They put pressure on students.
B. They help students learn more.
C. They are easy for most students.
D. They free students from doing exams.

One possible version：
Bike-sharing systems have been growing in popularity across our country, on whose advantages and disadvantages people disagree.
People who support bike-sharing hold that it makes our life more convenient and it's great for the environment, for bikes cause no pollution. Besides, it's quite cheap to rent a bike. But others argue that there are hidden dangers in the bikes because of poor management. What's more, some people drop their bikes off at any location, which causes traffic jams.
As for me, I'm for the first view. It'll be beneficial to us as long as necessary measures are taken to improve the management.
