Sir Winston Churchill.II.阅读：A.Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices go up, up, and up. “How high can they go?” is the question on everyone’s lips. “As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent, there’s no telling,” remarked one realtor(房产中介) in Santa Monica, California.“It’s crazy,” said Tim,who is looking for a house near the beach. “In 1993, i bought my first place, a two-bedroom apartment in Venice, for $70.000. My friends thought that i was overpaying then. Five years later, i had to move. I sold it for $230,000, which was a nice profit. Last year, while visiting friends here, i saw in the local paper that the exact same apartment was for sale for $510,000!”It is a seller’s market. Homebuyers feel like they have to feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price. Donna, a new owner of a one-bedroom apartment in Venice Beach, said, “that’s what i did, i told the owner that whatever anyone offers you, i’ll give you $20,000 more, under the table, so you don’t have to pay your realtor any of it. I was tired of looking.”Tim says he hopes the doesn’t get that desperate. “Whether you decide to buy or not, you still feel like you made the wrong decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you dong’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.”Everyone says the bubble(泡沫) has to burst sometime, but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house. Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring. “All we can say is that, unavoidably, these things go in cycles,” said the state director of housing. “What goes up must come down. But, as we all know, housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down. So you can’t lose over the long run. Twenty years down the road, your house is always worth more than you paid for it.”26.From Paragraph 1 we know that _________.A. the housing price is not a daily topic at allB. everyone is concerned about the housing priceC. nobody would like to talk about the housing priceD. the housing price is a difficult question to talk about27.Why would Donna pay $20,000 more to the owner under the table?A.

Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.Cdording to a 2013 poll (民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,”says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.”In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.36.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.A.To wake up the sleepersB.B. To serve as a morning callC.To draw people’s attentionD.To declare the special day37.Which of the following is True according to Paragraph 2?A.People can do well without enough sleep.B.Adults need at least eight hours’ sleep a day.C.Only one-forth of Americans have enough sleep.D.One-fifth of American adults sleep less than children.38.From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______A.Being healthier is one of the advantages for usB.Sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectationsC.Enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing thingsD.Spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time39.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.A.People care little about sleepingB.Sleeping is an image problemzy people tend to sleep longD.Sleeping is only part of our life40.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To talk about people’s sleeping problems.B.To provide an investigation result of sleeping.C.To stress the function of sleeping at night.D.To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.D.Leading experts on the Internet, technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.The Pew Research report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity”--- and some had a rosier outlook than others.“The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China,” said Hal, Google’s chief economist. “Enabling that person----and the millions like him or her--- will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed:”When every person on this planet can communicate two-way with every other person on this planet, the power of nation-states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear ) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley’s Aron Roberts---or do more than just monitor:” We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis.”Microsoft Reaearch’s Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic(悲观）: “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think theyought to behave. Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect:”Only the well-off (and well-educated) will know how to preserve their privacy,” warned one expert.“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly,” admitted Harvard”s Doctor Searls. :”But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages---- the ability to share knowledge---to a degree higher than ever before.”41.As for the influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity, some of the experts are _______.A.RealisticB.OptimisticC.DoubtfulD.Careful42.According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are ______.A.Google’s economistsB.Chinese and IndianC.The educated personsD.World leading experts43.People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to _____.A.The development of communication skillsB.The suggestions made by computer expertsC.The prediction made by the home computersD.The data recorded by the computers worn on body44.The underlined word “this”in paragraph 6 refers to_____.A.The visible activities mentioned aboveB.The way we thought they ought to behaveC.The way people really behave in lifeD.The rule people ought to obey in life45.Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph?A.Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.B.Development of the Internet and human beings.C.Knowledge and civilization of human beings.D.Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.第二节信息匹配：46.The study by scientists at Germany Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel examined five possible methods of climate engineering as a means of heading off the worst influences of global warming, along with widespread tree plantings of the deserts, and the study examined three methods involving the ocean.47.The report, to be given later this month by the IPCC and obtained y The Independent in Britain, says that food security will increasingly be threatened, with crop output to drop by as much as 2 percent per decade for the rest of the century. Demand, though, is on course to rise 14per cent per decade until the year of 2050.48.One in eight global deaths were linked with air pollution, making it “the world’s largest single environmental health risk”, the WHO said. Nearly six million of the deaths had been in South East Asia and the WHO’s Western Pacific area, about 3.3 million died as a result of indoor air pollution and 2.6 million outdoors, it found.49.As the atmosphere heats up because of climate change, more rain in Sydney will most likely cause disaster with traffic and public transport and may increase the number of people injured or killed in flash floods, such as the man who drowned after being swept in to a storm water drain at Lucas Heights on Monday, said Nicky Phillips.50.A five-year assessment by IPCC details the global influence because of the climate change, including the displacement of hundreds of millions of people,reduced crop output and increased the loss of millions of dollars of the economy,which harms Australia’s economy in many industries very seriously.2014.深二模答案：。
