22．（8分）Imagine walking through an ancient city, then climbing a gate tower to take in a wonderful view of the city and its more than 600-year-old walls. You can hear the city’s heartbeat in the air. This is the Ancient City of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, a place that should definitely be on your travel route if you enjoy history or ancient architecture since its origins can be traced back to more than 2,700 years ago.
Located in the center of Shanxi Province, Pingyao is the hometown of Jin merchants, a group of merchants who actively dominated (支配) a booming commodity market throughout China for more than 500 years, especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the city’s agriculture and manufacturing industries developed rapidly. Following China’s reform and opening-up in the 1980s, Pingyao struggled with the transition from a managed economy to the current market-oriented economy. During this time, the city government sought out new ways to break through this economic bottleneck.
Finally in the winter of 1997, opportunity came knocking. Through the efforts of the city government, Pingyao earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, which caused the entire world to take notice of the city.
Since the city’s fame has risen, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the conservation efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown. Meanwhile the city administration has continued to upgrade itself through a strategy that follows the pillars of “conservation, entrepreneurship, development and protection.”
Currently, the city is focused on establishing a sustainable industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world.
1、What does the underlined word “transition” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Translation. B．Spread. C．Range. D．Change.
2、What contributed to Pingyao’s popularity around the world?
A．The city government’s hard work. B．The official recognition by the UNESCO.
C．The development of Pingyao’s economy. D．The ancient architecture in the city.
3、What measure is taken to further develop the city?
A．Combining economy with cultural protection.
B．Constructing more modern buildings.
C．Learning from other cities in the world.
D．Establishing manufacturing industries.
4、How is the text developed?
A．By giving examples. B．By following time order.
C．By listing reasons. D．By raising questions.
23．（8分） Unless you’re very young or very old,it's likely you have some kind of relationship with email, whether you get hundreds of messages a day or a few dozen a week. A new study suggests that how we deal with these incoming messages could be affecting our stress levels and overall health.
A team from the Future Work Centre in the UK surveyed 2,000 people across various industries, sectors, and job roles, asking participants how they managed their email and how much associated stress they felt as a result. Overall, those who spent the most time organising and staying on top of messages felt the most email-related pressure too.
“While email can be a valuable communication tool, it’s clear that it’s a source of stress of frustration for many of us. The people who reported it being most useful to them also reported the highest levels of email pressure!” said one of the team, Richard MacKinnon.
Two of the habits linked to more email-related stress were checking for messages first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Half of those surveyed had push notifications (消 息推送）set up for new email, while 62 percent of respondents left their email app open all day and all night. Both were linked to higher levels of email pressure. The survey also found that managers suffered more than non-managers.
Stress is not just a problem when it comes to our mood—it’s been linked to a lot of disorders such as heart disease， weight gain， memory impairment (减弱），digestive problems,and depression.
The researchers suggest that the relationship between email-related stress and the negative impact on home life is not the same for everyone.
1、What’s the purpose of the study?
A．To find out how many people have an email account.
B．To know what sort of people use email most.
C．To find out how email management is related to stress.
D．To show what changes email has brought about to people.
2、What does Richard Mackinnon think of email?
A．It brings more strengths. B．It is not an essential tool.
C．It is a double-edged sword. D．It makes people puzzled.
3、Which of the following habits causes the most stress?
A．Checking email in the morning.
B．Checking email in the evening.
C．Keeping email app open at work.
D．Setting up push notifications for new email.
4、Where does the text most probably come from?
A．Science fiction. B．A science report.
C．fashion magazine. D．A book guide.
24．（8分）The term "healthy obesity" has gained value over the past 15 years,but scientists have recently questioned its very existence."Our new findings suggest that health measures may be necessary for all obese（肥胖的）individuals, even those previously considered to be metabolically（代谢的）healthy,"says study first author Mikael,"Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells,we should continue to focus on preventing obesity."
Obesity has been a global problem,affecting approximately 600 million people worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease,stroke,cancer,and so on.But in the 1970s and 80s,experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders.Later studies in the late 90s and early 2000s showed that some obese people show a relatively healthy life.
However,there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity,and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for discussion."Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more difficult than thought,"Mikael says,"There doesn’t appear to be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity,indicating that obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression."
One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression only in white fat cells,not other types.Moreover, all of the obese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations,so the findings may only apply to people with severe obesity.In future research,Mikael and his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight loss normalizes gene expression responses.They will also look for specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.
In the meantime,the study has an important take-home message."Obese people may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,"Ryden says.
1、What does the underlined phrase "healthy obesity" mean?
A．It can be healthy with obesity.
B．Obesity is necessary to be healthy.
C．Unhealthy people have no obesity.
D．Health has something to do with obesity.
2、What leads to healthy obesity failing to prove true?
A．Lack of related patients.
B．Lack of genetic evidence.
C．Lack of research funding.
D．Lack of needed standards.
3、What advice can readers get from the passage?
A．People should have a healthy lifestyle.
B．People should accept obesity in a way.
C．People should keep a balanced weight.
D．People should avoid obesity operations.
4、Which can best describe the author's intention in writing the passage?
A．Compare,analyze and conclude.
B．Show,appreciate,and persuade.
C．Introduce,argue and advertise.
D．Present,inform and inspire.
25．（10分）Information on Travelling in Singapore
Money matters
The currency in Singapore is the Singapore dollar(S$). Money changing services can be found at many shopping centres and hotels around the island, and the ATMs(generally open 24/7) accept most of the main credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Hotel Reservations and Accommodation
Upon arrival at the airport, please visit its 24-hour hotel reservations counters, which can help get you a room in your preferred hotel. Payment for the first night is required upon confirmation.
Lost Passport/Singapore Immigration Services
Should you lose your passport, we suggest you make a police report, then head to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority to get a temporary visa. Finally, inform your respective embassy so that you can get through customs when you reach home.
Tipping

Tipping is not a common practice in Singapore as most hotels and restaurants include a 10% service charge in the final bill. While tipping is not expected, it is appreciated, be it in restaurants where there is no service charge, or anywhere where excellent service is provided.
Smoking
If you are a smoker, you will have to resist the urge to light up in air-conditioned areas such as shopping centres, restaurants, entertainment outlets and cinemas. Smoking is also an offence in public buses, the MRT trains, taxis and lifts. A maximum of S$1000 can be imposed
