21．（6分） The secret to living longer could be as simple as picking up your walking pace, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sydney found that walking at a brisk(快的) or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent for any cause of death.
This effect was even more obvious in older age group, with fast walkers over the age of 60 reducing their risk of death by a surprising 53 percent. Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the study, explained, “A fast pace is generally five to six kilometers per hour, but it really depends on a walker’s fitness levels; an alternatives indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty.”
In the study, the researchers looked at the results of 4 surveys from 1224 to 2001, in which participants recorded their walking pace, as well as age, sex and BMI. The analysis showed that walking at an average pace was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction for all-cause mortality(死亡率) compared with walking at a slow pace, while walking at a brisk or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent.
The researchers hope the findings will encourage the development of public health message about the benefits of walking pace. Professor Stamatakis added, “These analyses suggest that increasing walking pace may be a straightforward way for people to improve heart health and risk for premature mortality--- providing a simple message for public health campaigns to promote.
“Especially in situations when walking more isn’t possible due to time pressures or a less walking-friendly environment, walking faster may be a good option to get the heart rate up--- one that most people can easily add to their lives.”
1、Who benefit most from walking fast?
A．Cancer sufferers. B．The elderly.
C．Those who have heart problems. D．Those who have high BMI.
2、What decides how fast a person can walk according to Professor Stamatakis?
A．His/Her fitness levels. B．His/Her ages.
C．His/Her will. D．His/Her BMI.
3、Why can walking fast reduce death rate?
A．Most people like doing it. B．It benefits the heart.
C．It reduces cancer mortality. D．Most people can do it easily.
4、What is the main idea of the text?
A．Walking is easy exercise for people to do.
B．Walking has received little attention until now.
C．More and more people are walking fast for health.
D．A fast walking pace can benefit people’s health.
22．（8分）When you’re having a hard time with your homework or when you’re preparing for your term paper, these student-focused websites can help you with just about anything you need. The key to getting the most out of these online resources is to know how they can best be used to your advantage.
Facebook
Although Facebook can be one of your biggest time-wasters and distractions when you are supposed to be getting work done, it can also be one of your most valuable resources. Most of your classmates will probably have a Facebook account, so anyone you need to connect with about a class you missed or about a problem is usually just a few clicks away.
SparkNotes
With a free library of history timeline, philosophy study guides and library summaries, SparkNotes has covered just about any reading-related jam you find yourself in. Just run a search for the book, play, or short summary of the material you are supposed to read.
A
Do you finish every term with many expensive textbooks you will never open again? Instead of letting the money spent go to waste, get back some of your cash by selling your books on Amazon.
RateMyP
Choosing new classes can sometimes be like trying to pick out your clothes in the dark, a total guessing game. Which teacher gives out the hardest problem sets? How much homework will that history professor give you every week? At RateMyP, students all over the country rate their professors on quality, helpfulness, and how hard their classes are.
Wikipedia
While Wikipedia isn’t aimed specifically at students, it is difficult to think of another website that does more to reduce the pain of paper writing and researching. Wikipedia gives you a quick way to find sources and get the details of almost any topic you need to research — all without walking to the library.

23．（8分）In the future those who are taking care of old people may get help from the house itself.
Over the last few years, new technology, such as the Internet, Wi-Fi and flat TV screens, has changed our homes and the way that we live. Now, another technology revolution is happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people living in it who are elderly.
The researchers have developed a wristband device（装置）which helps us to watch the elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information to see if the person has fallen or has wandered away from where he or she should be.
The assisted-living project is part of the university’s wider Interhome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hope that offering this service will help take care of the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing services.”
The Interhome is not just a research method. It’s also a way for students from different scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology to help students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.
“We are working on a smart-home project in Watford with some companies at the moment,” says the project leader. “We are looking at how a smart home can provide even more services.” This could help millions of old people around the world have a better and safer life in the future.
1、The wristband device benefits its users by .
A．changing the living habits of the elderly
B．monitoring people who live in a smart home
C．offering information to the person wearing it
D．watching over the elderly who may fall or get lost
2、Whom does the University of Hertfordshire have in its research team?
A．Students who want to find a job eagerly.
B．Students who prefer to work on their own.
C．Students from different scientific backgrounds.
D．Students with a lot of rich working experience.
3、What is the project leader’s attitude towards the future of the smart home project?
A．Uncertain. B．Uninterested.
C．Optimistic. D．Disappointed.
4、What might be the main idea of the passage?
A．A wristband device has changed the way that we live.
B．A smart home helps students develop hardware and software.
C．An Interhome project has been put into use to help the elderly.
D．An Interhome project will help the old live a better and safer life.
24．（8分） I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I fry?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?”
Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”
He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.
1、What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A．Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.
B．The author enjoys traveling around the world.

D．The author may start his own business in the future.
2、Hearing the colleague whispering, the author ________.
A．went back to his scat and got seated
B．knew his colleague had some questions
C．owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleague
D．thought his colleague would get nowhere
3、Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?
A．Japan. B．America.
C．Africa. D．France
4、Which is the proper title for the passage?
A．Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.
B．Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.
C．Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.
D．Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.
25．（10分）In a world full of Kates and Sarahs, you might think it’d be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd.Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me. I’11 get the occasional. “Your name is so pretty" after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more frustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn’t a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid (in other words, I didn’t have a childhood). I couldn’t even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.
I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while I stopped correcting him, and that’s been my reaction to strangers ever since. In other cages, I'd rather tell the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.
Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I've realized it's easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I did—so many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going out" name. It may
