Coca-Cola is probably the most famous brand in the world, and in some areas you can even access it easier than clean drinkable water. Although the company is trying to present itself as a health-conscious company, you can’t really say that drinking cola is healthy for you. Still, we all drink cola, some more and some less, and we tell ourselves that it’s all okay as long as we don’t overdo it. However, Coca-Cola has other functions besides drinking.
Cola removes the tarnish(暗锈) from old pennies. Got some old rusty pennies? Not to worry! Put them inside a glass of cola and let them rest for a while. When you get them out, you’ll have shiny pennies that will look as if they were coined a couple of days ago. If you couldn’t clean those pennies with industrial acids, just buy a can of cola and let it do its magic!
You can remove gum（口香糖） from your hair with cola. If you’ve got gum stuck in your hair and don’t know a better way to get it out, don’t worry, you won’t have to cut it. Just pour some cola into a bowl and dip the part of your hair with gum on it inside. Leave it for a couple of minutes and then simply wipe off the gum.
You can make an exploding fountain. You probably know about this one. You can make an exploding fountain by putting a mint(薄荷糖) inside a two-liter bottle. Then move away from the bottle and get ready for a Coca-Cola explosion. This is a fun thing to do, but it is also a warning — don’t eat a mint and drink cola at the same time, because a similar thing could happen to your stomach.
24．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 imply?
A.The expense of Coca-Cola is low.
B Coca-Cola is safe for people to drink
C. .Coca-Cola enjoys great popularity..
D.Coca-Cola is easier to get than drinkable water.
25．What can cola be used to do?
A. .Dissolve the gum. B Make pennies shiny.
C.Improve people’s hair. D.Take the place of acids.
26．Why can’t we eat a mint and drink cola at the same time?
A. The mint will release poisonous substances.
B.It might make our stomach smaller.
C.Mints with cola will produce heat.
D. .It can cause harm to our stomach
27．What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Some of the strangest uses of Coca-Cola.
B.Why Coca-Cola is popular among the young.
C.Why we can’t drink Coca-Cola too often.
D. The major ingredients of Coca-Cola.

Hippos（河马）have always attracted people's interest. Modern hippos in Walt Disney movies can dance lightly. A stone hippo in a 13th-century church in France has wings. And in ancient Egyptian fairy tales, the hippo was a goddess that guided the dead to the afterworld.
Despite their popular appeal, hippos, as well as other animals, have difficulty
when their needs conflict with those of humans. The early Egyptians liked to hunt hippos for their teeth and because they were dangerous animals. Amulets（护身符）to protect babies from demons（恶魔）were made from hippo bones.
About 4,000 years ago, there were so many hippos in Egypt that they caused serious crop damage. Egyptian farmers killed them routinely, and by the beginning of the 19th century, all the hippos in Africa had been killed.
People used to see hippos fight in the arenas（角斗场）of ancient Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire, hippos weren't seen in Europe again until a few zoos began to exhibit them in the mid 1800s.
All the various uses and abuses of hippos through the centuries have made their population fall greatly. Where they do occur, mostly in national parks, they live in such high density that they make the grasslands bare. This causes other grass-eating animals to go farther for food, and hippos, which can't live far from water, destroy their own feeding grounds.
28. In Africa, hippos became extinct _____.
A. around the 1850s B. in the early 19th century
C. about 4,000 years ago D. in the 13th century
29. Apart from protecting crops, what's the main reason for people to kill hippos?
A. To save other animals. B. To follow the routine established by the Egyptians.
C. To look for guidance after death. D. To satisfy personal demands.
30. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. level B. altitude C. concentration D. temperature
31. What problems do hippos lead to?
A. They eat up the grass in their habitats. B. They always destroy other animals' food.
C. They stop other animals from drinking water. D. They grow too quickly for the land to support.
D
The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing(排队), feel highly
offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has committed a kind of rudeness rather than a sin(罪过), the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers are likely to get away with the offense. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.
Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.
In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said, “if people are waiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they run towards it quickly… An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.
In many case in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start looking at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares and raised eyebrows—accompanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs—are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this the jumper will think better of it and retreat to the back of the queue.
32. According to paragraph 1, in England, queue-jumping is .
A. a common practice in many public places
B. a serious social problem in modern times
C. tolerated though it is considered highly offensive
D.. warned and prevented by shouting and pushing.
33. By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show
.
A. Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselves
B. queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for Englishmen
C. other Europeans are more open-minded than Englishman
D. queuing is essential in keeping the public in order
34. According to the author, queue-jumping can usually be stopped .
A. by shouting and loud warning B. by using body language that shows annoyance
C. with a confident and aggressive attitude D. with signs of public rules
35. What is the author’s tone in writing this passage?
A. Indifferent. B. .Objective. . C. Humorous D. Subjective

E
A research has discovered that your gift for happiness is determined by your genes to a large degree. 36 . We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.
Strategy 1: 37
The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort must play a great part.”
Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.
Strategy 2: Develop gratitude.
In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”. 38
Strategy 3: Remember, money can’t buy happiness.
Research shows: 39 . Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness,” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.
Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.
“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing
meaningful activities”. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure（休闲）activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. 40 Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.
A. Achieve happiness.
B. Choose to be happy.
C. Yet, psychologists believe we can pursue happiness.
D. More money doesn’t necessarily bring extra happiness.
E. This shifts people away from bitterness, and promotes happiness.
F. To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.
G. Happiness is decided by a good many aspects.

作文
Dear John,
How have you been lately? I really miss the days we spent together. It was so nice to be with you. However, some of your living and working habits, I have noticed, are not good enough for your health. As one of your best friends, I do hope that you can make some changes.
First and foremost, you had better rebalance your work and life, and avoid staying up too late. Besides, never eat too much junk food, which I think will contribute to your weight. More importantly, do not sit before your computer, surfing the Net for too long, since it will do harm to your eyesight. Instead, you may take part in more outdoor activities. I am sure you will enjoy a healthier life by improving your habits actively.
Best wishes and keep in touch.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
