Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ EU members' states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because it poses an ''acceptable risk'' to the environment. Countries voted in favor of extending existing restrictions on nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) to imports to clothing and other textile products.‎ The measure is intended to protect species in water. Use of NPE in textile manufacture in Europe was banned over 10 years ago but the substance is still released into the water environment through imported textiles being washed.‎ NPE degrades in the environment into substances including nonylphenol (NP), which accumulates in the bodies of fish and disturbs their hormones, harming fertility, growth and sexual development.‎ NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent. The EU decision notes that several studies have found NPE to be present in textile items.‎ A 2011 study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested, including items sold by big-name brads such as Adidas, H&M, Lacoste, and Ralph Lauren. The NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) argued that although concentrations of NPE found in the clothes were low, the chemical’s existence in the environment posed a risk.‎ The new ban on textiles containing NPE in concentrations equal to or greater than 0.01% will enter into force five years after it is adopted by the European Commission, which is likely to happen in September.‎ In comments submitted to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE ubiquitous in the supply chain and has numerous uses.‎ The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they - 32 -‎ ‎ contain negligible(微不足道的)amounts of NPE.‎ EU countries must eliminate pollution of water bodies by NP as it is a priority substance under the Water Framework Directive. A 2013 study by the UK environment agency warned that emissions from textiles could prevent progress towards this objective. It found 29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPE, which was released during the first two washes by the consumer.‎ ‎36. The 2011 study by Greenpeace found _________.‎ A. 29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPE B. NPE had limited effects on aquatic species C. NPE was widely present in textile products D. clothes of good quality had no concentrations of NPE ‎37. What's the possible meaning of the underlined part ''ubiquitous'' in Paragraph 7?‎ A. is legally protected B. is not easy to be found C. seems to be every where D. is uncommon ‎38. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. The original ban on use of NPE was very effective.‎ B. Recycled textile contain less NPE.‎ C. The new ban on imports of textile has come into force.‎ D. The UK environment agency is optimistic about the new ban.‎ ‎39. Which section of the website does the text come from?‎ A. lifestyle B. technology.‎ C. Business. D. Environment.‎ ‎【答案】36. C 37. C 38. B 39. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了欧盟禁止在织物中使用一种对环境有害的物质NPE，这种物质在织物清洗时会释放到水中，影响水环境，进而影响水中鱼类的生长。‎ ‎36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段的A 2011 study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested, including items sold by big-name brads such as Adidas, H&M, Lacoste, and Ralph - 32 -‎ ‎ Lauren.(2011年Greenpeace的一项研究发现被测试的三分之二的衣服里都含有NPE，包括一些大品牌，如阿迪达斯、H&M、鳄鱼、和拉尔夫劳伦等)可知，大部分的织物里都含有NPE。C. NPE was widely present in textile products(NPE广泛存在于纺织产品里)符合以上说法，故选C项。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子In comments submitted to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE ubiquitous in the supply chain and has numerous uses.(在提交给欧盟化学品管理局的评论中，服装和纺织品公司已经提醒说，遵守这一限制将是困难的，因为NEP在供应链中是ubiquitous，且有很多用处)和第四段的NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent.(NPE作为一种清洁和染色剂在纺织业中使用)根据上下文语境，尤其是has numerous uses和as a cleaning and dyeing agent.，可猜测划线部分的意思是“无处不在”。C. seems to be every where(似乎到处都有)符合以上猜测，故选C项。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they contain negligible amounts of NPE.(新的限制将不适用于二手商品或回收的纺织品，因为它假定这些已经被洗了几次的织物上含有的NPE的量极少，几乎可以忽略不计)可知，回收的织物里NPE的含量很低。B. Recycled textile contain less NPE.(回收的织物含更少的NPE)符合以上说法，故选B项。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段的EU members' states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because it poses an ''acceptable risk'' to the environment.(欧盟的成员国已经同意禁止一种广泛存在于服装中的有毒物质，因为它对环境构成了“可接受的风险”)可知，本文主要讲述了欧盟禁止在织物中使用一种对环境有害的物质NPE，这种物质在织物清洗时会释放到水中，影响水环境，进而影响水中鱼类的生长。由此推测本文很有可能出现在网页的环境相关的板块。D. Environment.(环境)符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ ‎(B)‎ - 32 -‎ Letters Comments on the March Issue ‎40 Smart Ways to Save at the Supermarket Your caution not to fall for fake sales reminded me of when I was a stock boy at my neighborhood grocery in the 1950s.

We know that sometimes even the tiniest change can result in a huge difference in how we perceive something, so is there any rhyme or reason to our tastes and preferences? Here are three factors which play a role.‎ ‎1. Conforming to expectation In London a few years ago, two talented rappers called Silibil N' Brains took to the stage to perform at a music industry show for unsigned bands. They were an instant hit. Their outrageous West Coast - American style, brilliant rap lyrics and couldn't - care - less attitude had the music industry's talent spotters falling over themselves to sign the pair. In a short space of time, Silibil N’ Brains had a deal with a top management company, a contract with a major record label and an advance of $70,000 -- and they hadn’t even made a record. Before long, they were on tour - 32 -‎ ‎ with Eminem and out partying with Madonna. They were living the dream.‎ But two years ago the same two rappers were laughed off stage by the same talent spotters for singing the same sons. So what was the difference? Amazingly, it was their accent. You see, Silibil N' Brains weren't, in fact, from West Coast U. S. A. at all. They were from Dundee in Scotland. During the first audition they had used their Scottish accents when rapping and it had not gone down well. ''They just laughed at us, '' recalled Brains. ''We were heartbroken. We went back to Scotland with our tail between our legs''. The lesson for them was that to succeed, you have to conform to expectations and at that time everyone expected rappers to be American.‎ ‎2. The benefit of hindsight Some people are simply ahead of their time. It's common knowledge that Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime -the other 900 or so were unknown and unloved until after his death. Monet’s paintings. at least in his early career, was considered incomplete and ugly by critics at the time, while Vermeer, the painter of Girl With a Pearl Earring, even had to use his mother-in-law as a guarantor when he borrowed money -- so unable was he to sell any of his work! Now that public taste has caught up with these artists, more or less anything they touched has an astronomical price tag attached to it. Perhaps the reason is that it just takes a while to get used to something - after all, not all beauty is obvious at first sight.‎ ‎3. A reassuring price tag In a world where the range of products on offer can be completely bewildering, we often look to price as an indication of quality. We may think we prefer the expensive wine to the cheap one, but we may simply be influenced by the price tag. Even professionals can make the mistake. A researcher from the University of Bordeaux in France took an average bottle of red wine and poured it into two empty bottles, on with an expensive label and the other with a cheap one. Then he invited 57 wine ''experts'' to taste the wine. Forty of them recommended the wine from the expensive bottle, describing it as ''agreeable'', ''complex'', ''balanced'' and ''rounded''. while the same wine from the expensive bottle, describing it as ''agreeable'', ''complex'', ''balanced'' and ''rounded'', while the same wine from the cheap bottle - 32 -‎ ‎ was described as ''weak'' and ''flat'', with only 12 of the experts recommending it. The study made the researcher unpopular with the French wine tasters, but he did prove that price has a significant impact on taste.‎ ‎43. Which of the following statements about Silibil N’ Brains is true?‎ A. Talent spotters fell in love with them at first sight.‎ B. They are from the West Coast of America C. Their success was attributed to behaving and sounding like American rappers.‎ D. They were friends with famous stars like Madonna even before they succeeded.‎ ‎44. The underlined phrases ''with our tail between our legs'' indicates that _________.‎ A. their first audition proved a failure B they felt proud of their performance C. they learned a valuable lesson D. being humble might contribute to their future success ‎45. We can infer from the second factor that ________.‎ A. some artists are better known when they are alive than when they are dead B. public taste usually falls behind famous artists C. beauty at first sight lasts much longer D. Monet's paintings are priceless because of their incompleteness ‎46. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. A price tag always fails to indicate the quality of a product.‎ B. A price tag is less likely to confuse customers than the packaging.‎ C. Low price will make the wine unpopular with tasters D. A price tag will cloud a person’s judgement of something.‎ ‎【答案】43. C 44. A 45. B 46. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。众所周知，微小变化也会影响人们对事物的喜好，文章列举了三个扮演者重要角色的因素：符合期望、后见之明、一个让人安心的价格标签。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ - 32 -‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段的They were an instant hit. Their outrageous West Coast - American style, brilliant rap lyrics and couldn't - care - less attitude had the music industry's talent spotters falling over themselves to sign the pair.(他们一炮而红。他们蛮横的美国西海岸风格，令人记忆深刻的说唱歌词以及漠不关心的态度，使音乐行业的人才鉴赏家们争先恐后地签下这对组合)可知，Silibil N' Brains的成功是因为他们的说唱具有美国西海岸的风格以及他们演唱时的表现。C. Their success was attributed to behaving and sounding like American rappers.(他们的成功归功于他们的表现和听起来像美国说唱歌手的风格)符合以上说法，故选C项。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段的During the first audition they had used their Scottish accents when rapping and it had not gone down well. ''They just laughed at us'', recalled Brains. ''We were heartbroken. We went back to Scotland with our tail between our legs''. 可知，在第一次试镜中，他们在说唱时使用了苏格兰口音，但不受欢迎。Brains回忆到：”他们嘲笑我们。” “我们很伤心，我们with our tail between our legs回到了苏格兰。” 根据上下文语境，可知划线部分指的是上文提到的“第一次试镜失败”的事情。A. their first audition proved a failure.(他们的第一次试镜证明是一个失败)符合以上猜测，故选A项。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段的Some people are simply ahead of their time. It’s common knowledge that Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime -- the other 900 or so were unknown and unloved until after his death. (有些人就是走在时代的前面。众所周知，梵高一生只卖了一幅画——其余900幅左右都是在他死后才为人所知)和Now that public taste has caught up with these artists, more or less anything they touched has an astronomical price tag attached to it. (因为大众的品味已经赶上了这些艺术家，他们接触的任何东西都或多或少贴上了天价标签)可推测，大众的品味通常落后于著名艺术家，因为他们总在艺术家去世之后很久才意识到那些画作的艺术价值。B. public taste usually falls behind famous artists(大众的品味通常落后于著名艺术家)符合以上推测，故选B项。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段的In a world where the range of products on offer can be - 32 -‎ ‎ completely bewildering, we often look to price as an indication of quality. We may think we prefer the expensive wine to the cheap one, but we may simply be influenced by the price tag. (在一个产品多得令人眼花缭乱的世界里，我们常常把价格看作是质量的标准。我们可能认为我们更喜欢昂贵的酒而不是便宜的，但其实我们可能只是受到了价格标签的影响)和The study made the researcher unpopular with the French wine tasters, but he did prove that price has a significant impact on taste.(这项研究让这位研究人员在法国品酒师中不受欢迎，但他确实证明了价格对口感有很重要的影响)可知，价格标签会影响人们对商品的判断。D. A price tag will cloud a person's judgement of something.(价格标签会影响一个人对某物的判断。)符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ Section C Directions: Read the following. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

They spend nearly all of their waking hours eating bamboo. But on the inside, they're built like carnivores(食肉动物). About half of the calories they eat come from protein, according to a new study.‎ The ancestor of giant pandas were omnivorous(杂食的). They are both animals and plants, and had the digestive system and gut bacteria to metabolize(使发生新陈代谢)them. They had ''umami taste receptors'', to appreciate the flavors of meat.‎ However, about 2.4 million years ago, things began to change. ____47____ Their jaw and teeth evolved to help them crush bamboo, and their wrist bone became capable of grasping the stalks(杆)of their favorite plant. Scientists think pandas switched to eating bamboo partly because they didn't have to fight with other animals to get it. Bamboo is high in fiber but has a low concentration of nutrients, so pandas have to eat 20 to 40 pounds of the plant every day just to get by.‎ David Raubenheimer, a nutritional ecologist at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues put GPS trackers on two giant pandas and followed their movement throughout the year. They discovered that the pandas followed the protein. ____48____ At the - 32 -‎ ‎ start of the cycle, they ate Bashania fargesii leaves until they got the chance to feast on young shoots, which contained more protein.‎ The more the shoots grew, the more their protein was diluted(冲淡)by fiber. That caused the pandas to move to higher ground, where Fargesia qinlingensis grew. First, they ate the shoots, but these, too, went from being protein - rich to fiber-rich as they grew. The panda responded by switching to the leaves. _____49_____ The researchers found that about half of the calories the pandas ate were in the form of protein.‎ ‎_____50_____ ''They can know exactly where to go, and when to go, so they can get the most of the nutrients that their ecosystem can provide, '' said Silvia Pineda - Munoz, who was not involved in the study.‎ The work also shows that classifying an animals as herbivore or carnivore is more complex than one might sassume. ''It's not whether you’re eating plants but what of the plants you’re eating, '' said Pineda - Munoz.‎ A. Between August and April, they sought food in low elevations(海拔)on China's Qinling Mountains.‎ B. Scientists think the research show that pandas are very clever.‎ C. Pandas eat bamboo all day long except when they are sleeping or playing.‎ D. The gene for their ''umami taste receptors'' became inactive.‎ E. They fed on them until they went back down the mountain and started eating Bashania fargesii leaves again.‎ F. Scientists have conducted many studies on pandas' eating habits.‎ ‎【答案】47. D 48. A 49.

Use your own words as far as possible.‎ Herbal Medicine Herbal medicine, which has been used for medicinal purposes, is the use of plants - 32 -‎ ‎ to treat diseases. Many herbalists use the entire plant, from the flowers, stems, leaves, and roots, in the form of everything from teas to pills. These plants contain natural, chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases, such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, chronic fatigue, and cancer, among others.‎ Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because, compared with chemical medicine, herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine and remedies are more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine given by a chemist could have certain negative side effects. However, many of the herbal medicine and remedies to not have negative side effects. If any, they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weight loss more effectively and improve overall health.‎ However, the cure using herbal medicine and supplements would take some time, and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still, herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic.‎ A point worth mentioning here is that herbal remedies and medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once, but would take months or even years. In the early stages, if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you, it is wise to stop using it.‎ When used correctly and directed by doctors, herbs can help treat a variety of disease.
