the morning without a cup of coffee.One reason they may feel that way is that coffee 36 caffeine.Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee，tea，and cocoa beans，which are used to 37 chocolate.But now food makers are 38 it to many products，from potato chips to water.‎ The US government is especially 39 about the problem.That’s why the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) is studying the 40 effects of caffeine on young people.Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to 41 .What’s more，caffeine is habit-forming.Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and ‎ feel 42 .‎ One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called 43 drinks，like Red Bull.A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine.A similar 44 of Red Bull has more than three times that amount.‎ The Institute of Medicine is also 45 on caffeine-safety measures.“Teenagers should not 46 beverages that contain caffeine.They should be aware of caffeine’s 47 on health and on how the brain works.Take，for example，teenagers who 48 caffeine to stay awake and study for a test.They will 49 less of what they just studied，” said Stallings，a member of the institute.‎ Companies that make 50 with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. 51 ，there is no law to stop children from buying them.So the FDA needs to set 52 on caffeine，especially in energy drinks.As for 53 caffeine in foods，the government should just say no.If not，the amount of caffeine should be printed on food 54 to remind consumers.The government must do that.‎ Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine.If you need extra 55 ，try these natural boosters：eat right，exercise，and get plenty of sleep.‎

D.Masayuki Moriyama.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据文中Masayuki Moriyama所刊登的广告中的“I’m an exchange student and I’m eager to have a better understanding of English culture.So I am glad if you can teach English”可知，Masayuki Moriyama可能会更愿意住在一位英语老师的家中，故选D。‎ B At the age of twelve years，the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its full size and strength，and its owner his or her full intelligence；but at this age the likelihood of death is least.Earlier，we were infants and young children，and consequently more vulnerable；later，we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which，though imperceptible at first，‎ will finally become so steep that we can live no longer，however well we look after ourselves，and however well society，and our doctors，look after us.‎ This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing.It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way，that if we escape wars，accidents and diseases we shall eventually “die of old age”，and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person，so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty.Some of us will die sooner，a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade.But the chances are against it，and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive，however lucky and robust we are.‎ Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it.We are so familiar with the fact that man ages，that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time，of becoming more likely to die the older we get，was something self-evident，like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes.They have also assumed that all animals，and probably other organisms such as trees，or even the universe itself，must in the nature of things “wear out”.‎ Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do，if given the chance to live long enough；and mechanical systems like a wound watch，or the sun，do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (热力学) (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present).But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages.A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound.An old watch，by contrast，becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending.But a watch could never repair itself—it does not consist of living parts，only of metal，which wears away by friction.We could，at one time，repair ourselves—well enough，at least，to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents.Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power；an illness which at twelve would knock us over，at eighty can knock us out，and into our grave.If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve，it would take about 700 years for half of us to die，and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.‎ 语篇解读　本文围绕“衰老”这一话题展开论述，指出了人体生命力变化的抛物线趋势，12岁最旺盛。人类的衰老不可抗拒，但人类的衰老和机械装置的衰老过程有很大区别。‎ ‎58.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?‎ A.Our first twelve years represent the peak of human development.‎ B.People usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.‎ C.Normally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.‎ D.People are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.‎ 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At the age of twelve years，the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its full size and strength，and its owner his or her full intelligence”可知，人在十二岁的时候，身体最旺盛。但它还没有达到全部大小和力量，还没有达到全部智力发展高峰。A项错误，故选A。‎ ‎59.The word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to .‎ A.remaining alive until 65‎ B.remaining alive after 80‎ C.dying before 65 or after 80‎ D.dying between 65 and 80‎ 答案　B 解析　代词指代题。根据第二段最后两句可知，一些人去世较早，少数人能活到第九或第十个十年。根据句中but和下文我们希望存活的时间实际上是有限的，可知it指代前面提到的活到第九或第十个十年，也就是说80岁之后依然活着这种情况，故选B。‎ ‎60.What do the examples of watch show?‎ A.Normally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.‎ B.All animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.‎ C.The law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.‎ D.Human’s ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.‎ 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中“But a watch could never repair itself—it does not consist of living parts，only of metal，which wears away by friction.We could，at one time，repair ourselves—well enough，at least，to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents.”可知，破损的手表由于自身结构问题，不能像人类一样进行自我修复。人类的自我修复可以在一定程度上缓解病痛，延长生命。用手表的例子是为了说明人类和手表等机械装置的衰老过程是有区别的。故选D。‎ C A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again—teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike—and who wouldn’t want bright kids to be able to move ahead，or strugglers to get the help they need?‎ But for most kids，labels (标签) applied early in life tend to stick，even if they are wrong.‎ Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial.In some countries，especially in Asia，school-wide tracking (分流) remains normal.Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers.Movement between the tracks is rare.‎ School-wide tracking decreased in U.S.schools in the 1960s and ’70s.It never died out，though.Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common，and other forms of tracking persist as well.‎ Unlike tracking，which means sorting students into separate classrooms，ability grouping happens within classrooms.When done according to the latest research，it has proven to promote achievement.‎ Ability grouping is changeable and temporary.Within classrooms，students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels.Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups，and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit.For instance，a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math.A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions.Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.‎ Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking.However，that must be weighed against the challenges involved.In many regular classrooms，the differences between student ability levels are very big.That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.‎ The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools.Likely，labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like “Bluebirds”，“Robins”，“Crows” and “Buzzards”.But kids still know.‎ 语篇解读　本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们说明了如今很多学校依然根据学生的能力对他们进行不同的分组，这虽然对他们的学习有益，但是这种分组却一直存在争议，作者在文中讨论了这样分组的好处以及缺点。‎ ‎61.Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again?‎ A.Because most teachers do not like slower learners.‎ B.Because grouping children should be done early in life.‎ C.Because it is academically beneficial to different learners.‎ D.Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers’ help.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike”和第五段最后一句可知，根据学生们的能力分组再次流行是因为它在学术上对不同能力的学习者是有益的，故选C。‎ ‎62.By saying “Movement between the tracks is rare.” (Para.3)，the writer really means .‎ A.tracking children is normal in Asia B.school-wide tracking has decreased in the US C.professional and vocational careers are unrelated D.sorted students can hardly change schools 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers.”可知，作者这么说是为了告诉我们一旦把学生分到不同的组就会很难再去改变了。故选D。‎ ‎63.The examples in Paragraph 6 are used mainly to illustrate .‎ A.a good language learner promises to be good at maths B.a student might join different groups for different courses C.ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones D.ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第六段提出的例子可知一个学生可能会加入不同的小组来学习不同的课程，故选B。‎ ‎64.What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers?‎ A.Students’ different levels.‎ B.Students’ low performance.‎ C.Constant self-comparison.‎ D.Application of not-so-secret code.‎ 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In many regular classrooms，the differences between student ability levels are very big.That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.”可知，教师在普通课堂上的挑战是学生能力水平之间的差异，故选A。‎ D I was puzzled! Why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse(树丛) which was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper，even to a national，protesting about a projected by-pass to her village，and，looking at a map，the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn’t as if the area was attractive.I was more than puzzled，and I was curious.‎ The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly，and I wanted to know what it was that motivated her.So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door，being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.‎ ‎“I’ve always loved this place，” she said, “it has a lot of memories for me，and for others.We all used it.They called it ‘Lovers Lane’.It’s not much of a lane，and it doesn’t go ‎ anywhere important，but that’s why we all came here.To be away from people，to be by ourselves，” she added.‎ It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard.Squirrels watched from the branches，quite bold in their movements，obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear.I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built，so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals，I said nothing.The village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children，their safety was more important to me than an old woman’s strange ideas.‎ ‎“Take this tree，” she said pausing after a short while.“To you it is just that，a tree.Not unlike many others here.” She gently touched the bark，“Look here，under this branch，what can you see？”‎ ‎“It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife.” I said after a cursory inspection.‎ ‎“Yes，that’s what it is！” she said softly.‎ She went on，“He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones from a horse’s hoof，and I helped him to carve them.We were very much in love，but he was going away，and could not tell me what he was involved in the army.I had guessed of course.It was the last evening we ever spent together，because he went away the next day，back to his Unit.”‎ Mary Smith was quiet for a while，then she sobbed.“His mother showed me the telegram.‘Sergeant R Holmes...Killed in action in the invasion of France.’…”‎ ‎“I had hoped that you and Robin would one day get married.” she said，“He was my only child，and I would have loved to be a Granny，they would have been such lovely babies’—she was like that！”‎ ‎“Two years later she too was dead.‘Pneumonia(肺炎)，following a chill on the chest’ was what the doctor said，but I think it was an old fashioned broken heart.A child would have helped both of us.”‎ There was a further pause.Mary Smith gently caressed the wounded tree，just as she would have caressed him.“And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob，then she turned to me.“I was young and pretty then，I could have had anybody，I wasn’t always the old woman you see here now.I had everything I wanted in life，a lovely man，health and a future to look forward to.”‎ She paused again and looked around.The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound.“There were others，of course，but no one can match my Robin！” she said strongly.“And now I have nothing—except the memories this tree holds.If only I could get my ‎ hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now，I would tell him.Has he never loved，has he never lived，does he not know anything about memories?

that the role of vitamins and minerals goes way beyond the prevention of deficiency diseases(维生素缺乏症) to actually preventing cancer and heart disease，the most fearsome killers of our time.With this knowledge has come the widespread call for nutritional supplementation—and a confusing group of vitamin，mineral，and supplements lining the supermarket shelves.‎ Far from contributing to better health，however，nutritional supplements threaten to turn a scientific breakthrough into a nutritional disaster.‎ Promoters of vitamins and minerals—especially Vitamins A，C，and E—would have consumers believe that the little vitamin pill in the bottle is all they need for good health.Take your vitamins in the morning，and you’re covered.It’s okay to eat fast foods for the rest of the day or skip meals to achieve today’s fashionably skinny look.But vitamins and minerals are only one part of the nutritional puzzle.A diet rich in fiber(纤维) and balanced in carbohydrates and protein is essential for good health.You can’t get these things from a nutritional supplement.The focus on vitamin and mineral supplements may actually be robbing us of the full nutrition we seek.‎ And no supplement can compare to the quality of nutrition found in natural sources.For example，our bodies turn carotenes(胡萝卜素) from plant foods into Vitamin A.Many supplements contain a single carotene，but natural sources are rich in many different carotenes.Many supplements contain a form of Vitamin E that is made from chemicals，when natural Vitamin E is more readily absorbed and used by the body.And science is still discovering the wealth of nutrients in foods.‎ But perhaps the greatest danger presented by nutritional supplements comes from the very real risks presented by self medication.Anyone can walk into the market and buy as many different supplements as desired.The reported benefits of high dosages of certain nutrients have led some people to believe that the more the better.Many take several vitamin and mineral supplements without regard to possible consequences.‎ A surprising new research suggests that Vitamin C pills may speed up hardening of the arteries，the underlying cause of heart attacks.Researchers said their findings support the recommendations of health organizations，which urge people to avoid high doses of supplements and to get their nutrients from food instead.‎ As appealing as they’re made to sound，nutritional supplements are danger in disguise.If you’re looking for good health，don’t look on the supplement shelves of your supermarket.Look in the produce section instead.‎ About Nutritional Supplementation Introduction Vitamins and minerals can prevent cancer and heart disease，which is outside the 71. of preventing deficiency diseases，so they are 72.

Piers Steel，of the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary,95% of people postpone important tasks at some point.But for some，procrastination(拖延症) isn’t occasional，but

addition，people suffering from deeper procrastination tend to experience more pain.‎ Many factors may be responsible for procrastination.To begin with，the task people are involved in seems too difficult to complete.Besides，due to an overconfidence in their abilities，people often fail to manage their time efficiently.Moreover，an individual may also choose to procrastinate because the job is not challenging enough.‎ Procrastination has negative effects on our life，such as causing stress and anxiety，leading to health problems，impeding our ability to achieve our goals and so on.So it’s absolutely necessary for us to take action to beat it.Firstly，we can write down our tasks in a visible place with their due dates.Additionally，we can tell our family or friends about our goals because they will motivate us along the way.Last but not least，reward ourselves for a job well done.‎
