I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, " I'm having a dinner party" means: " I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan, there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who don't drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York, people would think it was a usual new club.What does the word "shot", in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Choice. B. Try. C. Style. D. Goal. 22. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?A. There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive. C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash. 23. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience? A. Easy-going. B. Self-centred. C. Generous. D. ConservativeBA new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults.The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues.“This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study.The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults.. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media. ”The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Face book, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also "visited various social media 30 times per week. ”Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances.Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If this is true, she adds, then practices that stop such behaviors may be the most effective.What's the main idea of the text? A. The researchers focus on social media. B. The researchers manage to handle sleep problems. C. Social media affects sleep. D. Doctors treat young patients. 25. When treating sleep problems, doctors are advised to________________ . A. offer some advice about giving up social mediaB. ask the patients about young adults’ use of social media C. give young adults some medicineD. ask about the patients' living conditions26. How did the researchers mainly carry out the study? A. By doing online research. B. By doing questionnaires. C. By collecting published data. D. By giving an example. 27. What can be inferred from the text? A. Men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women. B. People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder. C. Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely. D. Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media. CIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources. Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%. Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放)and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______ . A. it makes the world warmer B. it consumes natural resources C. it brings severe damage to forests D. it makes growth hard to continue 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. China lacks wind and solar energy. B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market. C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development. D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests. 30. To fully develop the low-carbon markets,governments can ______ . A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emissions C. develop public resources D. encourage energy conservation 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new business model. B. To compare two business models. C. To predict a change of the global market. D. To advocate sustainable development.D Money is the root of all evil and a new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US. announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical(不道德的) things, such as lie or cheat, than poor people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS,《美国国家科学院院刊》). They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest(不豪华的) cars. In another experiment, a group of college students were asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study. Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy(不能信赖的) or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.By saying “money is the root of all evil",the author wants to _______. A. draw readers' attention to the research B. link wealth with bad behaviour C. show how the saying proves the findings D. defend rich people who do unethical things 33. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did, according to the scientist quoted? A. Most wealthy people are not trustworthy. B. The findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further experiments. C. Drivers of more expensive cars are more likely to break traffic rules. D. Students from poorer families are not as honest as students from richer families. 34. Why did the scientists do the experiments? A. To show how social status affects people's ethics. B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways. C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true. D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people. 35. What does the article really want to show us? A. Money is the root of all evil. B. The rich are more likely to act badly. C. The saying is reasonable. D. All rich people are untrustworthy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Meet New People Everybody knows that first impressions count.

Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%. Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放)and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______ . A. it makes the world warmer B. it consumes natural resources C. it brings severe damage to forests D. it makes growth hard to continue 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. China lacks wind and solar energy. B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market. C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development. D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests. 30. To fully develop the low-carbon markets,governments can ______ . A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emissions C. develop public resources D. encourage energy conservation 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new business model. B. To compare two business models. C. To predict a change of the global market. D. To advocate sustainable development.D Money is the root of all evil and a new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US. announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical(不道德的) things, such as lie or cheat, than poor people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS,《美国国家科学院院刊》). They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest(不豪华的) cars. In another experiment, a group of college students were asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study. Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy(不能信赖的) or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.By saying “money is the root of all evil",the author wants to _______. A. draw readers' attention to the research B. link wealth with bad behaviour C. show how the saying proves the findings D. defend rich people who do unethical things 33. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did, according to the scientist quoted? A. Most wealthy people are not trustworthy. B. The findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further experiments. C. Drivers of more expensive cars are more likely to break traffic rules. D. Students from poorer families are not as honest as students from richer families. 34. Why did the scientists do the experiments? A. To show how social status affects people's ethics. B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways. C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true. D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people. 35. What does the article really want to show us? A. Money is the root of all evil. B. The rich are more likely to act badly. C. The saying is reasonable. D. All rich people are untrustworthy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Meet New People Everybody knows that first impressions count.
