“Julie died right after her twentieth birthday.

A
Zinc Can Cut Colds Short
Zinc isn't the cure for the common cold, but mounting evidence indicates it can be a big help. An analysis of three randomised controlled trials found that 70 per cent of patients who had taken zinc acetate lozenges(80 to 92 mg per day)within 24 hours of noticing cold symptoms had recovered on the fifth day, compared with 27 per cent of patients who had received a placebo.While that dosage is higher than the daily recommended amount, no serious side effects were observed. Be sure your zinc lozenge doesn't also contain citric acid(柠檬酸),which can make it less effective.
Driving Can Lower Your IQ
In a recent study of approximately 500,000 people between ages 37 and 73, researchers found a noticeable drop-off in brainpower, as measured by intelligence and memory tests, among those who drove for more than two hours each day. The study also found that the more time participants spent watching TV, which, like driving, fails to exercise either the body or the brain, the worse their test scores. If you must drive long distances to work, consider adding a mentally stimulating activity to your commute, such as listening to language lessons.
Dairy Helps Fight Early Menopause
Calcium and vitamin D have long been known to work together to build strong bones. Now scientists have discovered that they may also play a role in preventing early menopause(更年期), which is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease and other health issues. In a study of 116,430 premenopausal women, those who got the most calcium and vitamin D from food-especially dairy-had the lowest risk of early menopause. Supplements did not have any beneficial effect, perhaps because they lack the other vitamins, fats and hormones(such as progesterone and oestrogen)found in dairy.
56. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Zinc can help treat any common cold effectively.
B. Despite time participants spent watching TV, their test scores are still high.
C. Language lessons are beneficial to mental activity.
D. Calcium is more functional than vitamin D in curing menopause.
57. What's the main purpose of the passage?
A. To sell some medicines to the customers.
B. To inform readers of some pieces of medical news.
C. To offer some statistics about scientific researches.
D. To promote some products about milk.
B
Airborne dust is normally seen as an environmental problem, but the lack of it is making air pollution over China considerably worse.
A new study suggests less dust means more solar radiation hits the land surface, which reduces wind speed. That lack of wind in turn leads to an accumulation of air pollution over heavily populated parts of China. The researchers found that reduced dust levels cause a 13% increase in human-made pollution in the region.
Hundreds of millions of people across China continue to be impacted by air pollution from factories and coal-fired power plants. Studies suggest that the dirty air contributes to 1.6 million deaths a year, about 17% of all mortalities. But this new research says that the human-induced pollution is being made worse or better by naturally occurring dust that blows in from the Gobi desert. Using models to simulate 150 years of wind and dust patterns in the region, the researchers found that the dust deflects significant amounts of sunlight. Without it, more heat from the Sun hits the land. Differences in the temperatures between land and sea cause the winds to blow. Without the dust, the land warms up more and that changes the temperature differential with the sea leading to weaker breezes - and more air pollution.
"There are two dust sources. One is the Gobi and the other is the highlands of north-west China, but we found the Gobi had much more influence," said lead author Yang Yang, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington State, US. "Less dust in the atmosphere causes more solar radiation to reach the surface. It weakens the temperature difference between the land and the sea and impacts the circulation of the winds and causes a stagnation over eastern China and that causes an accumulation of air pollution."
Another study has recently shown a link between declining Arctic sea ice and a major air pollution event in China in 2013. The authors of the new study believe that both theories could be true.
"Our study has the same mechanism: the weakening of winds causes more pollution, and what
is behind this needs to be studied," said Yang Yang, "We have two views on this kind of weakening of wind. They found the sea ice, we found the dust-wind interaction can also lead to weakening of the wind. I think both of them are important."
The researchers believe that the study may inform broader questions about how natural and human-created aerosols interact.
Many parts of the world, in addition to China, are now suffering from increased levels of air pollution and understanding how dust, winds and emissions work together may help limit some of the worst impacts of dirty air.
One of the key lessons from this study is that the absence of dusty conditions could mean the air you are breathing is worse for you, not better.
58. According to the new study, the formation of air pollution over heavily populated parts of China is due to ________.
A. the accumulation of dust B. the lack of temperature
C. the high level of living standards D. the shortage of wind
59. What’s the right sequence of cause and effect leading to the air pollution?
①the worse circulation of the winds
②more heat from the sun
③lessening temperature between the land and the sea
④less dust
⑤a worse stagnation
A. ④①③②⑤ B. ①④②⑤③
C.④②③①⑤ D. ①⑤②④③
60. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Millions of people die of diseases caused by dirty air every year in China.
B. The theory of the consequences caused by declining Arctic sea ice is less scientific.
C. The new study must invite questions about how natural and human-created aerosols interact.
D. The absence of dusty conditions means a more healthier environment.
C
IT is fashionable to say that tech firms will conquer the financial services industry. Yet in the case of Apple, it seems that the opposite is happening and finance is taking over tech by stealth(悄然). Since the death of Steve Jobs, its co-founder, in 2011, the world’s biggest firm by market value has sold hundreds of millions of phones with bionic chips (仿生芯片)and know-it-all digital assistants. But it has also grown a financial operation that is already, on some measures, roughly half the size of Goldman Sachs.
Apple does not organize its financial activities into one subsidiary, but Schumpeter has lumped them together. The result—call it “Apple Capital”—has $262bn of assets, $108bn of debt, and has traded $1.6trn of securities since 2011. It appears to be run fairly cautiously and is part of a thriving firm, but it still deserves scrutiny. Companies have a history of being hurt by their financial arms; think General Electric (GE) or General Motors (GM).
Apple Capital has lots of responsibilities but three stand out. It invests the firm’s mountain of surplus profits, mainly in “highly rated” instruments (this task seems to fall to Braeburn Capital, a subsidiary in Nevada, which uses some external fund managers). Apple Capital also uses derivatives (衍生品)in order to protect the firm against currency and interest-rate gyrations. And it manages America’s fifth-biggest corporate-debt pile by issuing Apple bonds as part of an elaborate strategy to
limit tax bills.
Apple Capital has become important to its parent. Since Jobs died, its assets have risen by 221%, twice as fast as the company’s sales, reflecting Apple’s huge build-up of profits. Its investments are worth 32% of Apple’s market value, and its profits (investment income, plus gains on derivatives, less interest costs) have been 7% of Apple’s pre-tax profits so far this year. It is also sizeable compared with other financial firms. Consider four measures: assets, debt, credit exposure and profits. Depending on the yardstick, Apple Capital is 30-85% as big as Goldman Sachs. It is 22-42% as large as GE Capital was at its peak in 2007, just before things went down the tubes during the subprime crisis.
Apple Capital is different from these firms in important ways. It does not take deposits and has much lower leverage. In their prime Goldman and GE Capital were run by hard-charging financiers, and made lots of loans. By contrast, Apple Capital does not make loans, and is not meant to be a profit centre in its own right.
Apple’s core business is so profitable that it is—almost—incredible that a blow-up at Apple Capital could lead to it needing taxpayer or central-bank support, as was the case for GM and GE. Still, it is easy to imagine how Apple Capital could hurt its parent. A market shock could lead to losses on its portfolios. A two-percentage-point rise in interest rates would result in a loss of $10bn. If bond markets dried up, Apple might struggle to issue so much debt and have to bring home funds, incurring a big tax bill. It might also become tricky to run such a big derivatives portfolio.
According to a former manager who left in 2012, Apple’s financial gurus were careful because “nobody wanted that 3am call from Steve Jobs”. But Jobs isn’t there any more. In any case, a fear of rebuke is not enough. If the tax laws change Tim Cook, Apple’s boss should wind down the structure that the firm has created. Tech firms should seek to disrupt finance, not be seduced by it.
61. Which of the following is Not the responsibility of the "Apple Capital"?
A. using its surplus profits to re-invest.
B. providing related financial derivatives.
C. issuing bonds to avoid high tax.
D. exploring new electronic products.
62. The sentence " Nonetheless, it still has become riskier in different ways." should be put in the end of ________.
A. paragraph 3 B. paragraph 4
C. paragraph 5 D. paragraph 6
63.What can be concluded according to the last two paragraphs?
A. Apple 's development should be in line with GM and GE.
B. The change of interest rates makes great difference to Apple.
C. Apple's home funds can compensate for its loss in bond markets.
D. Tech firms should be attached to finance.
64. The passage is mainly developed by the followings except _________.
A. making comparisons B. provide data
C. following the order of importance D. giving examples
D
LONDON – Hillary Clinton got closer than any American woman to the nation’s top job, but her loss has thrown a spotlight back onto the question: Why has the United States lagged behind so many countries around the world in choosing a female leader?
Tiny Sri Lanka became the first to shatter the political gender barrier more than a half-century ago, back when that island nation was known as Ceylon. Its giant neighbor, India, followed a few years later.
Since then women have attained top leadership posts – president, prime minister or its equivalent – in more than 70 countries in Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific. Today women run two of Europe’s most powerful nations, Angela Merkel in Germany and Theresa May in Britain. So why not the United States?
Historians have offered a range of reasons. Many of the earlier women’s pathways were eased because their husbands or fathers were autocratic or charismatic leaders first. Some were chosen via parliamentary deal-making, not direct elections. Others were initially tapped as temporary leaders.
Some scholars theorize that European democracies may view women as more suited to high political office because their governments are known for generous social-welfare programs, something that seems maternal. In contrast, the president of the United States is primarily seen as commander in chief, which is a frame more difficult for women to fit into.
“America is still seen as the policeman of the world, the guardian of the world, and we still have a very gendered version of what leadership means,” said Laura A. Liswood, secretary-general of the United Nations Foundation’s Council of Women World Leaders, a network of current and former female prime ministers and presidents. “Not only do we have to be liked, we also have to be tough.”
Sue Thomas, a senior research scientist at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in Santa Cruz, California, said that unlike political leadership posts elsewhere, the U.S. presidency “is seen as a very masculine(男性) institution that for historical reasons is extremely hard for a female to approach.”
Gender was never far from the surface in the protracted presidential campaign, but experts cautioned against seeing the election as merely a referendum(公民投票权) on the idea of a female president.
“It’s hard to build a generalization about women candidates based on Hillary Clinton,” said Timothy Garton Ash, professor of European studies at Oxford University. “She is such a special case and unique figure, having been around for so long. Did people vote against her because she was a woman or because her name is Clinton? Of course it could be both.”
Still, many experts see an underlying（潜在的）bias that has discouraged American women from seeking political office, impeding the flow of potential female presidential candidates.
“What we have in the United States is a pipeline problem,” said Kathleen Dolan, chairwoman of the department of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “Not enough women in the high-visibility, high-credibility offices. Not enough women running for school boards, county councils.”
The United States ranks 97th among 193 nations worldwide in the percentage of women in the lower house of Congress, according to data compiled by the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
65. The passage mainly focuses on _________.
A. how women are popular in European democracies.
B. why there is no female president in the USA.
C. when women can come into power in the world.
D. what can be done to change women’s status in America.
66. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. crush B. challenge
C. attack D. interfere
67. According to historians, many of the earlier women’s pathways were eased because________.
A. they took advantage of their family resources.
B. they were elected directly by the public.
C. they were appointed as permanent leaders.
D. they gained help from abroad.
68. Why women in European countries are recognized as more suitable for high political duty?
A. Women in Europe are much more generous than those in other continents.
B. The democracies in Europe well match women’s roles in society.
C. Women in Europe are better at regulate their governments.
D. The democracies in Europe naturally have a preference for women.
69. From the passage, we can conclude that________.
A. The president of America is extremely hard for a female to approach for intellectual reasons
B. Election can be viewed as merely a referendum on the idea of a female president.
C. Hillary Clinton would help set up a generalization about women candidates.
D. Women in America can’t seek proper ways to be involved in politics.
70. The passage is most probably an introduction of ________.
A. conference summary B. scientific research
C. remarks on current affairs D. political campaign

Time for Americans to act on climate change
The climate crisis is worsening at a rate that is becoming harder and harder to ignore. For more than two decades, scientific reports have made it clear that global warming is real, that humans cause it and that the consequences will be disastrous.
The scientific community has become increasingly panicked over the past year. The latest assessment from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change painted a far more terrible picture than its previous analyses, and the long-awaited National Climate Assessment made clear that climate change represents a severe threat to human health as well as our economic security. Out of this panic came the treaty（条约）reached this past weekend by world leaders to keep the Paris climate agreement alive.
Yet many Americans still don’t regard the threat as a key priority for our government, and suopont President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris treaty. Campaign contributions from fossil fuel companies have convinced elected officials to look the other way. A certain amount of despair has resulted in widespread apathy（漠然）.
But there is another reason that has been discussed far less openly. While a growing number of people understand that climate change will have significant worldwide consequences, many Americans have an intuitive（直觉的）belief that their nation is more capable than others of adapting to a changed environment. Why? Because they have before.
This historical success, however, resulted from the federal government taking science seriously, and making investments to urge revolution and innovation.
But these innovations did not happen by themselves, or simply because of the United States’ rich resources. They depended on consistent support from the leaders about the need to take action when faced with crises. This has been especially true in the environmental crisis.
President Bill Clinton had a shockingly modest record of advancing climate security, particularly given that his vice president, Al Gore, had been one of the most outspoken environmentalists in Congress. By far Clinton’s biggest accomplishment was assigning Gore to participate іn thе Куоtо Рrоtoсоl negotiations. Сlіntоn сhоѕе, hоwеvеr, tо аvоіd whаt ѕurеlу wоuld have been a terrible fight in the Senate to gain approval of the treaty. While this effort probably would have failed, it would have signaled to the American people how seriously the Democratic Party took climate change.
Thus, the time has clearly arrived for progressive candidates to start campaigning on a platform built around the need for a sustainability revolution. Such a plan should include a carbon tax, well-funded clean energy research, evolved agricultural policies and smarter public transport. Given that Generation X and millennials（千禧一代）never bought into the fiction that the United States is immune to the dangers of global warming, the time is ripe to make climate security a crucial government responsibility. Only by doing so can we begin the long-overdue（拖延好久的）campaign to save the planet.

请阅读下面图画和短文，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
There was a boss who made a contract with his workers: he will pay their salary each week, but not in cash. Instead, the workers would choose some goods in a shop, which equal the value of their salary. Then he will pay the cash to the owner of the shop.
But one day, one of the workers complained to his boss, “The shop owner said ‘no cash, no goods’. And he requested us to pay in cash.” For that reason, the worker asked the boss to pay him in cash, too. The boss agreed. After a while, the shop owner came to the boss, asking him to pay for his workers.
The boss was confused and looked into the issue, and finally found out that the worker told a lie. However, he paid the shop owner as usual, because he must keep his promise, even he was cheated and had to pay more money.
Good merchants won’t scrap（废除）their contracts. They won’t sign contracts easily and usually chaffer（论价）for their benefits if they have to sign them. But after that, they will definitely follow them whatever the price.

Possible version:
Despite the dishonest trick of one of the workers, a boss still followed his contract with them. Good merchants are those who stick to their contracts regardless of the price. (30W)
What the article reminds us of is the spirit of contract. For us senior students, not only does it mean keeping promises and fulfilling obligations conscientiously, but it also means obeying rules and having a good sense of responsibility.
Actually, the spirit of contract is significant for us. However, it’s quite common that students nowadays lack this spirit. Some can’t concentrate on their study, failing to pay due attention to certain subjects. Some do their homework carelessly or even cheat in exams.
Personally speaking measures must be taken to cultivate this spirit in high school students. Activities should be organized to make them realize how significant it is. Also, credit files should be kept to strengthen its supervision and evaluation. (120W)
