（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）AYou may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.But that's not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good forus.Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn't know to run away from atiger or step back from a cliff.In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.In addition, when you're scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.“Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward”who gets scared easily, don't worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us moreconfident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so youare better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.31. What is the article mainly about?A. People's misunderstandings about fear.B. Different ways to deal with fear.C. The benefits fear brings us.D. A new study about fear.32. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?A. It improves people's ability to survive in the modern world.B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.C. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.D. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could bedangerous.- 3 -33. The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to_________.A. get closer toB. fight againstC. pay attention toD. be more careful with34. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.B. Experience it as often as possible.C. Consider it as a sign of weakness. .D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.BThey will be here in a minute, surely. I'll just stare at my shoes a little while longer to pass the time. Wish I'd brought a book. Hang on, though, what if I'vegot the wrong day? The wrong place? Have the clocks gone back? No, damn it, I'm off home. Whoever I'm waiting for clearly lives in a different time zone from me.I am always 10 minutes early, so if you're 10 minutes late, I've been foot-tapping for 20 minutes. I know it's not fair to hold the first 10 against you, but I just can't help myself. I never wait more than 20 minutes beyond the meeting time we decided upon, not for anyone, ever.OK, that's not strictly true. I have, on occasion, hung around anxiously and heartbrokenly for up to an hour, but the bitter anger that follows is never a pretty sight. If you've made me wait that long, you will wish you hadn't bothered turning up at all.How come some people are always late and some are always on time? If I can manage to be punctual, why can't you? Because I left a hot cup of coffee at home while you sat down to roll another cigarette. Because I spilled jam on my pants and quicklywiped it off whereas you took time to change your whole outfit. Because I switched off midway through a TV series, but you had to ride out the end, didn't you? And don't even think about blaming the traffic. How do you think I got here? By flying carpet? Only carelessness or arrogance can explain a habit of lateness.Some people are always late because they can't make realistic calculations about how long it takes to do things. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Just deal with it. Painful as it may be, you have to accept that, as you've agreed to meet at eight and it's now a quarter to, you don't have time to phone your girlfriend.Much worse, though, are those with big egos. Being late is just rude. Being lateon purpose really means that you hate the person you are meeting.Of course, there are some perfectly lovely latecomers out there. I just never wait long enough to find out.35. Which of the following words best describes how the author feels in the first paragraph?A. Anxious.B. Curious.C. Thankful.D. Joyful.36. What does the author think contributes to people always being late?a. Their big egos.b. Traffic jams.c. Their carelessness.d. Being picky when choosing clothes.e. Their realistic calculations of how long it takes to do things.- 4 -B. a, cA. a, bD. c, d, eC. b, d, e37.

According to the author, people should ____________.A. be patient when waiting for a latecomerB. always arrive 10 minutes early for an appointmentC. keep in mind that being late is rude and selfishD. ask people around them to remind them on an appointmentCAs a leading Chinese language school and a cultural exchange institute in China, Global Exchange Education Center has been providing Mandarin (or Putonghua) language courses and cultural exchange programs for over a decade.How to apply for our programs■In order to apply for all of our programs, you must beat least 18 years old.in good health,a senior high school graduate.■Application Procedure for Chinese Language ProgramsStep 1.

This is harder to achieve in rural health systems in West Africa that are tasked with treating thousands of patients with poor resources.There are several promising drugs and vaccines in development, but since Ebola is less common—and research about it is not well funded — there is no drug or vaccine that has been approved for use in humans. Many of the other drugs and vaccines have not yet been tested in humans. The WHO (World Health Organization) is meeting next week to discuss whether experimental treatments should be used during this outbreak.43.

Introduction to the virus “Ebola”.EThe January fashion show, called Future Fashion, exemplified how far green design Earth Pledge, the show inspired has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics（织物）for the first time. Several have made pledges（许诺） to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, a cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainabl e materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren't comparable materials that can just replace what you're doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics（纤维）, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents(等同物).Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a- 7 -dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major project aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Main-stream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware thateco-fashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied, “Not that I'm aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she's on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn't too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn't yet on her mind. But thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.47. What is said about Future Fashion?A. It inspired leading designers to start going green.B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made to last long.48. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that _____.A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materialsB. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materialsC. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materialsD. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available49. What does the author think of green fashion?A. Green products will soon go main stream.B. It has a very promisingfuture.C. Consumers have the final say.D. It will appeal more to youngpeople.50. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion ________.A. can attend various trade shows for freeB. are readily recognized bythe fashion worldC. can buy organic cotton at favorable pricesD. are gaining more andmore support第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
