A
Functional beverages (饮料) are a foreign concept referred to as “drinks for specific uses”. They include sports drinks, which have vitamins and minerals to help replace the salt and minerals lost in sweat; and nutrient drinks, which have caffeine and something to make people excited. Functional beverages have been known in Asia and Europe for some time, but are relative newcomers to the US market.
Previously, market participants believe that drinks were all about refreshment. Functional beverages originated the concept that beverages could be sold as a “lifestyle” product. In fact, one of the main forces at work among the Americans is the lack of of time. This sense of speed causes consumers to look for quick and easy solutions: functional beverages have benefited from this attitude, as have functional foods. It is easier to grab a bottle of juice than eat an apple, easier to down a cereal (谷类食物) bar than get out a bowl and spoon to eat conventional food, and so on. Young consumers are especially drawn to the idea of consuming a functional beverage that provides energy as well as a cool image. Other consumers who want to do something good for themselves find functional drinks better than more conventional beverages that do not have the added “good for you” poisoning.
But some experts suggest consumers should be careful in choosing a brand. For example, some are best after intense exercise and some are not good for people with high blood pressure or heart disease. Experts have said that today’s functional beverages are more about health and fashion than thirst and that the industry needs regulating.
56. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Functional beverages include sports drinks and nutrient drinks.
B. People in Europe have known functional beverages for some time.
C. Functional beverages appeared in America at first.
D. Functional beverages are drinks for specific uses.
57. The word “originate” in paragraph 2 means .
A. bring in B. bring forth C. bring up D. bring about
58. Which of the following is true of functional beverages?
A. Functional beverages are good for all the people.
B. Some consumers prefer more conventional beverages because they do not have “good for you” poisoning.
C. Young consumers like functional beverages for both energy and cool image.
D. Functional beverages are popular among the Americans for its nutrient.
59. The text is mainly about .
A. what functional beverage is
B. what functional beverage includes
C. how functional beverage developed
D. what benefit functional beverage brings to us
B
The light noise of modern life may affect speech and language development in the very young according to a study that found the auditory (听觉的) parts of the brains of young mice are slower to organize properly in the presence of continuous sounds.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, kept a group of rats in an environment of continuous background noise and found that their brain circuits that receive and interpret (解释) sound did not develop at the same rate as animals that were raised in a quieter environment.
Edward F. Chang and Michael Merzenich, co-authors of the study appearing in the journal Science, said that the continuous noise delayed the organization of auditory neurouns (听觉神经细胞) during a critical two-to-three-week period after the rat babies were born.
For rats not exposed to the noise, the auditory cortex (皮质) neurons during this period gathered into a smaller area and began developing a selective response to sounds.
But for the noise-exposed rats, this organization was slowed, causing a delay in the development of the ability to recognize specific sound tones. The researchers said it took three or four times longer for the rats raised in a noisy environment to reach the basic bench marks (基准) of auditory development seen in the rat babies not exposed to noises.
Although the rat is not a perfect model for what happens in humans, the authors note, the study does suggest that high levels of noise might possibly affect some language learning in babies.
“These findings suggest that environmental noise can potentially contribute to auditory and language-related development delays,” the authors wrote in Science.
The authors noted that although the brain development was delayed in rats exposed to the noise, their brains did eventually develop normally.
60. The scientists at the University of California studied rats .
A. of different age groups B. with different habits
C. in different environments D. from different areas
61. The rats exposed to noise, compared to those not exposed, .
A. were more sensitive
B. were duller
C. grew up more slowly
D. gathered together more quickly
62. The result of the research mainly tells us that noise .
A. delays brain development B. stops baby growth
C. affects speech and language D. destroys brains
63. The findings of the research are said to have special connections with .
A. causes of noises B. medical science
C. other living things D. human babies
C
Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.
From the consumer’s point of view, this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unable to get.
Many publishers seem to have embraced its model. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money into the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.
Some librarians criticize the Net Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.
Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by Brary. Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.
But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to point out material or copy and taste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer.
Christopher Warnock, chief executive of Brary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.
“There is not really a lot of good owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
64. How do publishers get money form the Net Library?
A. They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.
B. They share the money with Net Library.
C. They get money by cutting the cost of the books.
D. They get money from the readers.
65. The underlined word “embraced” in the third paragraph means .
A. taken something willingly B. held something tightly
C. disliked something badly D. tried out something hard
66. From the second paragraph we can see consumers .
A. don’t care if they are charged money
B. enjoy the service of the Net Library
C. don’t like other people’s borrowing books
D. complain about the limited number of the new books
67. What does the last paragraph mean?
A. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.
B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.
C. Brary is not a good library for the consumers.
D. It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.
D
Do you ever feel unfashionable? Have you ever wondered how to keep up with new trends? If you answered “yes”, then don’t worry! Many people feel they have to dress a certain way. Fashion is a reflection of your character. Don’t let other people’s opinions influence how you dress! It is important not to feel forced into the fashion choices you make. You may not be able to have a new look if it doesn’t suit your character.
Fashion should be fun so don’t be afraid to try out new styles. If you don’t feel brave enough to try a whole new wardrobe, accessories (饰品) are the answer! By changing only your accessories, you will be saving money and then you will be able to keep up with the latest trends.
Adding accessories such as a bag, a belt, a hat, a scarf or jewelry can really change your look. For example, a pair of jeans and a T-shirt with the help of accessories can be made into several different events.
Currently, the sporty look is very popular. You may want to accessorize with a baseball cap and sweatbands or by carrying a sports bag.
To add some glamour (魅力), you could wear a silk scarf as a belt. You could also wear jewelry such as wire bracelets and some dangling earrings. These will transform your look into a glamorous gypsy (吉普赛人的) style.
How important accessories are! Go and find accessories you like and add them on your clothes the way you prefer. They’ll make you more fashionable. Whatever style you choose to follow, remember that fashion should be fun and most important it should be about you. Don’t follow it blindly.

What would you do if a hungry shark (鲨鱼) attached you?
Why sharks attack?
No one knows why sharks attack people. Scientists say that it may be a case of mistaken identity (本性). To a shark, a swimmer can look like a seal (海豹). And many sharks eat seals.
Tourism may be a bigger problem. Many people want to see sharks up close. So they throw fish parts into the sea. Hungry sharks then swim toward the tourists’ boats. Sharks may learn to go to the same places again and again to find food.
Sharks may not even like how people taste. Scientists point out that sharks often leave after just one bite. Of course, even a single shark bite can be deadly.
Who’s afraid of whom?
Shark attacks are nasty (危险的). Luckily, they are also rare. Worldwide, sharks attach fewer than a hundred people a year. Only about six die. Overall, though, sharks have far more reasons to fear us than we have to fear them.
All sorts of sharks
About 400 shark species swim in the world’s oceans today. They come in all sizes. Sharks eat other animals. Now let’s meet a few sharks.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the sea. Fully grown, it can be as long as a school bus. Yet it does not hunt large animals. Instead this shark swims with its mouth wide open. It gathers sardines (沙丁鱼), tiny animals and plants.
An angel shark hides in sand and mud on the seafloor. When a school of fish swims by, the shark snatches dinner with its jaws.
Nearly 5,000 sharp teeth line the mouth of a great white shark. When one falls out, another replaces it. Those teeth help the shark hunt. Yet it doesn’t chew food. It gulps (吞咽).
Great whites get blamed for most shark attacks. But tiger and bull sharks can also be dangerous. So can a few other species.
Deep trouble
As deadly as some sharks look, the fearsome fish are not unstoppable. Nearly 80 shark species are in danger of dying out.
“Time is running out for these species,” says Sonjia Fordham, a scientist at the Ocean Conservancy. “Programs to protect sharks and their habitat are urgently needed to ensure that these species survive.”
72. Which of the following is true of sharks according to the passage?
A. In the world, sharks kill fewer than one hundred people a year.
B. We needn’t fear sharks because they fear us.
C. Shark bites are strong enough to make people die.
D. There are more than 400 shark species in the world today.
73. All of the following are true except .
A. the largest fish in the sea is the whale shark
B. a white shark has a large amount of teeth to help itself hunt
C. the angel shark uses its jaws to search for food
D. a lot of shark species are endangered
74. The scientists are about sharks’ future.
A. unhappy B. worried C. optimistic D. pessimistic
75. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
A. Sharks are dangerous. B. The kinds of sharks.
C. Many things about sharks. D. Sharks’ future.

Dear editor,
In the countryside, a lot of children are leaving school for various reasons．Some families are too poor to send their children to school．So children have to earn money to support their families．Some parents think it useless to send their children to school．They would rather let their children stay at home．Some of the children aren't interested in their lessons so they don't like to go to school．1 feel worried about this．I think every child should have the chance to go to school．We should pay more attention to the education of children for they will play an important part in our socialist construction in the future．Ways must be found to prevent children from leaving off their studies.
