It's 11 p.m., and I m still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine! I've had two weeks to write it, and my teacher, Julia, wants it tomorrow. She's always complaining (抱怨) that I leave things till the last minute. Maybe she's right.
A month ago I made a decision to be more efficient(有效率的) this year. well, I've clearly failed. I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now. I've started going to the health club. I've even been going to bed earlier. But I'm not feeling any fitter, just a little unhappier. I miss my bad habits. Why is leading a better life so hard?
I've just read an article on a website, and I've discovered that it isn't my fault(过错)! In fact, it isn't anyone's fault. It's our brain's. It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. There's nothing we can do. Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about ourselves and another when we think about other people. However, when we think about ourselves in the future, we use the same part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people. In other words, the brain sees
the "future you" as a different person than your "present you." That's why we don't always find it easy to make good decisions for ourselves in the future.
But that's not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit. That's the amount(数量) of time the brain needs to accept new
behavioral patterns(形式). The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so it' s easy to give up what you want to do before then.
So even when we want to change our ways and become better people, our brains won't let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I've finished my article on time! Anything is possible!
25. In Julia's eyes, what kind of person is the author?
A. A bit lazy. B. Quite smart. C. Very healthy. D. Truly honest.
26. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. Why we can't have a better life.
B. How our brain sees ourselves in the future.
C. How our brain helps us make good decisions.
D. Why it is not easy for us to change our habits.
27. According to scientists, in order to form the habit of taking exercise, the author needs
to take about .
A. another two weeks B. another four weeks
C. another six weeks D. another ten week
C
I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at
the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
28.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?
A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else.
29.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?
A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater.
C. They were both good actors. D. They had similar characteristics.
30.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Their belief. B. Their care for children.
C. Their success. D. Their support for each other.
31.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?
A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend.
C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience.
D
A disease called “Panama” is threatening supplies of the world's most popular fruit—banana. Two years ago, the United Nations warned that the "Panama disease" could destroy "much of the world's banana crop."Since then, things have not gotten better. A new outbreak was discovered last year in Australia. The disease started in Asia in the 1990s, and later spread to Africa and the Middle East.
World health officials worry the disease could travel to Latin America, one of the top banana producers in the world. All this is a big concern because bananas are an important source of income and nutrients for millions of people. They are grown in 135
tropical nations. The United Nations lists bananas as one of the most important foods, along with rice, wheat and corn.
Randy Ploetz is a professor at the Tropical Research & Educational Center at the University of Florida. Many consider him as America's top banana expert. As he explained, Panama disease affects the Cavendish banana. The Cavendish is one of more than 500 kinds of bananas. But it is the most popular.
“The industry is waking up to the problem,” Ploetz said.
“They are pretty scared.”He was speaking Thursday by telephone from Miami, Florida, where he is among 1,000 people attending the International Banana Congress. The meeting was supposed to take place in Costa Rica, but was moved at the last minute. There were concerns that banana growers could spread Panama disease from dirt collected on their shoes, Ploetz said.
Ploetz said reports that Cavendish banana production could end are not correct. But if the disease spreads to Latin America, it could hurt the world’s economy along with food supplies for millions of people. Still, he said there is reason for hope. Scientists in Australia are working on a genetically engineered banana that might not be at risk of getting Panama disease.
32. What makes World health officials worried about the disease?
A. Making the banana disappear.
B. Spreading to Latin America.
C. No effective medicine to kill it.
D. No ways to stop it spreading.
33. What do you know about professor Randy Ploetz?
A. He is the best scientist studying banana in America.
B. He helps farmers grow various bananas.
C. He found more than 500 kinds of bananas.
D. He will find a better way to protect bananas.
34. What’s the possible measure(措施) to beat the disease?
A. Using modern technology to kill the disease.
B. Inventing new medicine to prevent the disease.
C. Looking for effective ways to make banana healthy.
D. Developing a new type of banana free of the disease.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Scientists Try to Protect Banana Trees.
B. Disease Spreads Quickly to Latin America.
C. Disease Threatens World Banana Supplies.
D. Banana Plays an Important Role in Economy.

There is no way to make somebody stop smoking, and just like with users of any drug, it is very unlikely a person will stop unless he or she wants to. 36
Step One: Make Observations
Smoking use can affect memory and make it difficult for people to do well at work or school. Other bad effects that you may notice include: 37 Is she getting sick more often than she used to?
Write down your worries using “I” statements, such as “I feel sad that when you smoke you give up your artwork.” 38
Step Two: Approach the Person
Bring up your worries to your friend at a relaxing time. Express your worries using the statements you wrote down. Tell him you will be there to support him if and when she decides to give up smoking. He will likely give you one of three responses:
He wants to quit.
39
He wants to stop, but not yet.
You must be willing to calmly accept any of these responses. If he says he does want to stop, go on with the next step. If not, they will have to be visited later when he is ready.
Step Three: Prevent Him Giving Up Halfway
40 However, symptoms only appear after some time of quitting smoke. This causes some who are addicted to believe that they are not actually addicted and to start using
again.
A. He doesn’t want to quit.
B. Does this person appear more nervous?
C. Are you lazy because you smoke too much?
D. It’s best to approach the person in this manner.
E. People can become physically dependent on smoking.
F. The drug can stay in the system for a long period of time.
G. But there are steps you can take to support a friend or family member.

Traffic jams(堵塞) are a common problem in larger cities. In some cities, traffic jams get so bad during rush hour that it is sometimes 61 (fast) to walk than to drive. Traffic accidents are also a problem. Sadly these problems are not easy to solve.
However, a traffic system being tested in several cities in Northern Europe has led to some surprising 62 (result).
The system 63 (call) "shared streets". It is a system that has very few traffic laws. As a result, shared street areas have no traffic lights or street signs. Although most people would expect this to cause the number of traffic jams and accidents 64 (go) up, until now 65 has been a great drop in both. One reason 66 (be) that the shared streets system encourages people to be more 67 (care). Without traffic rules, people slow down and pay more attention 68 each other. Normal traffic systems, on the other hand, depend on signs, 69 people often miss or don't follow, leading to accidents. Also, the shared streets system decreases(减少) traffic jams because without fixed(固定的) parking spaces, it is easier for cars to move around 70 (free) when there is a lot of traffic.

I hate it when people talk loudly on their phones in public. When you talk loudly on the phone, you disturb(打扰) those around us. Yesterday, for an example, I was on the bus, and a man near me is talking to his friend on the phone. I could heard everything, and his call continued for almost 15 minutes. I don't understand this kind person. It's OK to talk on the phone, so you should do it quiet. The bus is a public space, and another people don't want to know your business.

The winter holiday is coming.Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday.
Some are in favour of staying at home. They think it is both convenient and comfortable. What’s more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.
However, others prefer to go out for travelling. Because it can increase their knowledge. Besides, travelling can broaden their
horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while travelling.
In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home. For I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.

My name is Leon and I’ve known my friend, Bernie, since I was eleven. We’re both fifteen now and enjoy fishing together. For me, fishing’s a hobby, but it’s more than that for Bernie. He fishes in competitions.
Two months ago, Bernie asked me to join his team for a fishing competition, and I decided to do it. I had six weeks to practice for the competition, so I started to go fishing every weekend.
Bernie showed me the places in the river that fish usually like, for example around a fallen tree. But I got my biggest fish under a bridge, and Bernie caught a big one by a broken boat.
The morning of the competition arrived, and we started fishing. Nothing happened for two hours, but then I pulled in my first competition fish! We fished until the end of the day, but no one caught a fish heavier than mine.
Bernie and the team were pleased with my fish and we won fourth place out of ten teams.
