Almost half of us live in a city these days, and that number keeps going up. Want to be healthy? Try to make the best use of your city.

Get Arty: Cultural attractions is something most cities are rich in. So if you’re in the city, refuse the pricy bar and club. Your brain will thank you if you choose from one of the countless museums, theatres, art galleries and historical sites (古迹).

Mo wins Nobel for literature
CHINESE writer Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2020, a somewhat unexpected choice by a prize committee that has favored European writers in recent years. In the past five years, European writers had won four awards. Presented by the Nobel Foundation, the award --- only given to living writers --- is worth 8 million kronor (£741,000). “He has such a unique (专门的)way of writing. If you read half a page of Mo Yan you immediately know it as him,” said Peter Englund, head of the Swedish Academy(瑞典学院).
Peter Englund said in Stockholm that the academy had called Mo before the
announcement(宣布). “He said he was overjoyed and frightened,” Mo, 57, is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Born Guan Moye in 1955 to a farming family in Gaomi County in Shandong Province, Mo chose his penname, meaning “don’t speak,” while
writing his first novel. His breakthrough came with the novel Red Sorghumpublished in 《红高粱》1987. Set in a small village, like many of his works, “Red Sorghum” is an earthy story of love and peasant struggles (农民抗争) taking place against the background of the anti-Japanese war. It was turned into a film that won the top prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1988. Mo said in a speech at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2009, “Some people may want to shout on the street, but we should tolerate (容忍) those who hide in their rooms and use literature to voice their opinions.”
50. In recent years, the committee likes ______ better. A. European writers B. American writers better C. Chinese writers D Japanese writers 51. The novel Red Sorghum was published in ______ .
A. 1955 B. 1987 C. 1988 D. 2009 52. Mo won the Nobel Prize because ______. A. his writing is very special B. Red Sorghum is very famous C. Chinese has never won the Prize before D. he has got unique experience 53. From Paragraph 3, Mo may agree that ______.
A. people should express their ideas in private B. we should speak out our opinions in public C. different people have their own ways of living D. people can express their ideas in different ways
C
You thought the Dark Ages are well behind us? Think again. As we speak, the world is getting darker. Without sunlight, oxygen (氧气) levels will drop, and there won’t be enough food. In the end, we’ll die a horrible death. Probably, we will have forgotten what kind of a sunny planet Earth once was.
It is the thick clouds that are causing all the trouble. They bounce back (弹回) the sunlight into space, preventing it from reaching the Earth’s surface and its people. The result: darkness, and cold. So, who put those clouds up there in the first place? Well, blame (归咎于) yourself: you did. You guessed it: it’s those humans and their pollution again.
Already, the Earth is a bit darker than it should have been. An agricultural biologist (农业生物学家), Gerald Stanhill, first discovered Global (全球的) Dimming in Israel in the 1980s. The sun shines about 22 percent less in Israel than it did in the 1950s. It is as if someone is slowly turning off the lights! In fact, global dimming may have made its first victims (受害者) already. In the 1980s, about a million Africans in the Sahel died during a massive drought (大面积洪涝). It was global dimming’s doing: the sun simply didn’t shine hard enough to ‘power up’ the system that should have given the Sahel its rainy season.
But isn’t the world getting warmer, instead of colder? How about global warming? Many facts show that the world is indeed getting warmer. But it’s also getting darker. In fact, many scientists believe that global dimming puts the brakes on the warming of our planet. Without global dimming, global warming would be much, much worse! And there’s no telling which will win in the end, heat or cold.
So, what do you prefer? Would you like to get roasted, or would you rather die in the dark? Hmm...Perhaps it’s a better idea to cut down a little on both pollution and greenhouse gases, after all.
54. Why is the world getting darker?
A. Because oxygen levels on the earth are dropping quickly. B. Because the thick clouds stop the sunlight reaching the earth. C. Because the thick clouds are covering a large area of the earth. D. Because the earth is becoming colder and colder.
55. What does the phrase “puts the brakes on” in Para. 4 probably mean? A. puts out B. breaks down C. slows down D. catches up with 56. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. The earth used to be sunnier and warmer. B. We are responsible for global dimming. C. Africa suffers most from global dimming.
D. Global warming is better than global dimming.
D
“Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)” is a term for a group of conditions that can influence normal breathing while people sleep. These include snoring (打鼾), mouth-breathing and sleep apnea. Sleep-disordered breathing can do more than just leave people feeling tired the next day. It can also have an effect on people's health. In children the effects can include behavioral and emotional problems.
In a new study, researchers asked parents about their children's breathing from when they were babies up to about age six. The study involved about eleven thousand children.
Karen Bonuck at the Einstein College of Medicine in New York led the study. She says, “The central finding overall is that sleep-disordered breathing is connected with a fifty percent increase in adverse neurobehavioral (不利的神经行为) outcomes.” She adds that the more serious the breathing problems, the more serious the behavioral issues were likely to be. Other studies have linked sleep with children's behavior, but this study could be able to reject (排除) other possible causes.
The study appears in the journal Pediatrics. It’s estimated one child in ten snores regularly. A smaller number suffer (遭受) from other sleep-disordered breathing.
How well do you sleep? A popular belief is that sleep gets worse with age. But, in another new study, those who reported the fewest problems with the quality (质量) of their sleep were people in their eighties.
Researchers did a telephone survey of more than one hundred fifty thousand American adults. Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania medical school says the starting goal was to prove that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.
The survey did find an increase during middle age, worse in women than men. But except for that, people reported that their sleep quality improved as they got older. At least they felt it did.
Mr. Grandner says, “Even if sleep among older Americans is actually worse than in younger adults, feelings about it still improve with age.”
The findings appear in the journal Sleep. In the study, health problems and sadness were linked with poor sleep. Also, women reported more sleep disturbances and tiredness than men.
But, based on the study, Mr. Grandner says older people who are not sick or depressed should be reporting better sleep. “If they’re not, they need to talk to their doctor. They shouldn’t just take no notice of it,” he says. Nor should their doctor turn a blind eye to it. He says doctors generally dismiss sleep complaints (埋怨) from older adults as a normal part of aging. 57. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. middle-aged men have more sleep problems than women B. the older people get, the better the quality of sleep will be C. doctors don’t take sleep complaints from older adults seriously D. children suffer more mouth-breathing than other SDB conditions 58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. SDB can bring about serious illness to people.
B. Older adults think they get better sleep than they actually do C. Ms. Bonuck’s studies have linked sleep with children's behavior. D. A key period for children’s behavioral development is from 0 to 6. 59. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Who sleeps Well, who lives Well B. Who Sleeps Better, the Young or the Old? C. New Findings on Sleep in Children, Older Adults D. New Findings on Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Health

最佳选项。选项中有一项为余外选项。（共8分，每小题2分）
Getting lost while camping and hiking is probably the biggest problem most campers face. It’s a good idea to learn how to use a compass and map to get from place to place. 60 .
To avoid getting lost, stay on well-marked paths and never camp without a compassfriend or family member along for the ride. Before you start on your adventure, get maps from the park or forest ranger (护林员).
61 , follow path markers to the nearest ranger station and wait for help to arrive. If you can't find a ranger station, look for a safe place and wait for help to come looking for you. People will find you if you've followed procedures such as signing in on paths and leaving information at home on where you'll be. An ordinary sports whistle (口哨) is a camper's best friend when it comes to calling for help. 62 . If you have a cell phone and can get a signal (信号), try reaching park rangers by phone.
Once you have an unexpected problem, no matter how small it seems to you, ask park rangers for help. 63 , take along a parent or other relative. Sharing the beauty of the great outdoors can actually help you get to know the adults in your life better, without all the usual
distractions (分心) of life.
A great camping trip not only leaves you with memories to treasure, it may start you on a lifelong hobby. A. If you really want to head for the hills and none of your friends are into it B. However, most campers have no idea how to use a compass C. Unluckily, most campers don’t follow these steps D. The whistle will be heard at distances the human voice can't travel E. If you and your friend do get lost
八阅读与表达 Last week, we were told how some international students have few friends in their host countries when they study overseas. Student Union blogger Jessica Stahl watched the problem closely. Her study showed 75% of foreign students said they had more than 2 American friends. But 10% reported having no American friends. Communications specialist Elisabeth Gareis also studied the problem. She says efforts on how to improve relationships between the two groups of students have yet to be studied in detail, but these efforts should begin with the university, and that these universities have been working hard. “Universities should build a bridge that improves the communication. And they can do that by, for example, designing activities at the beginning of the term.” She suggests taking walks, going on bicycle, field or camping trips, and attending parties, sporting events or film festivals. She says such activities should be held repeatedly to bring students together throughout the school term. Ms. Gareis also suggests that foreign students share housing with American students. Many volunteers from universities and communities are trained and prepared to help foreign students. They assist new students as they complete government papers and find their academic (学业上的)advisors. They also help answer the traditional questions of new people anywhere. “Where do I get an ID card? Which is the best bank? How do I get a driver's license?” That kind of information is shared.
Experts believe that if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will come to feel part of the life and traditions of the university.
64. How many overseas students have no American friends? 65. Is Elisabeth Gareis the only person to study the problem?
66. What activities does Elisabeth Gareis suggest?
66. What is the advantage of making friends as oversea students begin school? 67. According to the passage, who can help international students?
Universities, volunteers and international students themselves.
