In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However, that’s exactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly a whole year.
Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of making it through the year without spending any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn’t hesitate(犹豫) to look for food in the dustbins (垃圾箱).
But this year has been quite difficult. The soil(土壤) in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate there was terrible as well. They kept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square(平方)-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to take a shower. What’s worse, they had to share a toilet with the rest of the community.
Even though they had no jobs, they didn’t have a lot of free time to waste. They spent most of the day working for local farmers planting vegetables and picking fruit so that they could earn their next meal. They had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs. But when there wasn’t enough food for them, they had to go to look for food in the dustbins.
Not everyone is brave enough to do this. But they really made it work and they felt happy.
45. How long does the Australian couple live without money?
A. For nearly a day. B. For nearly a week.
C. For nearly a month. D. For nearly a whole year.
46. How did the Australian couple feed themselves?
A. They sold vegetables and fruit for money.
B. They mainly depended on the food in the dustbins.
C. They tried their best to get everything necessary themselves.
D. They expected other people to give food to them.
47. How might the writer feel about the Australian couple?
A. They are a bit strange. B. They are very brave.
C. They are young and smart. D. They are very funny.
48. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. The Australian couple hated the city life so they lived in the country.
B. The Australian couple would continue to live there for the rest of their life.
C. Nothing is impossible as long as you use your head and work hard enough.
D. More and more old people are looking forward to living in the countryside.
C
Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles(车辆) and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止) in China since January 2011. Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动) smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe(呼吸) in the smoke and suffer(受苦，患病) from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled(控制).
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘) and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.
Smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率). Employees(雇员) who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.
If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.
49. __________ isn’t a non-smoking place.
A. A field B. A hospital C. A library D. A restaurant
50. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us __________.
A. banning smoking is good for restaurants
B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers
C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases
D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers
51. According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means __________.
A. men B. women C. adults D. teenagers
52. Which of the following statements in NOT true?
A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.
B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.
C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.
D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.
D
Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to beat—this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it “the most complex(复杂) thing we have discovered in our universe”.
Can this small grey organ(器官), which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains(包含) about 100 billion neurons(神经元)—it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).
So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brain’s unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory(感觉的) organs.
But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends “bike riding” messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.
53. From the passage we know that neurons __________.
A. receive messages very slowly B. are only found in your skin
C. send messages to your brain D. need electricity to work
54. When you have a new thought, __________.
A. your brain will power a light bulb B. your heart beats faster
C. you remember something D. the structure of your brain changes
55. The article is mainly about __________.
A. all the steps when your brain learns things
B. what an unbelievable organ the human brain is
C. how the brain makes people smarter than computers
D. the things you can do to make your brain work faster

If you want to get along well in the US, the following(下列的) dos and don’ts are helpful. As a rule, it isn’t easy to find anyone to talk to in a big city. However(然而), here are some suggestions. 56 . Walk with it several times a day. Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a dining hall. People generally share the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are a stranger. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店). 57 , and many people wait there. They often pass the time talking to other customers. Always ask for information from a woman, if you are a man.

59 . Don’t ask people their ages, especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Never tell heavy people they are fat. Everyone here wants to be thin. 60 . When someone is going to meet you at six o’clock, be sure to get there by six—Americans respect time and expect everyone to be on time.
