Could it have been an accident or murder? Does whoever knows about the poison have a motivation? If it is a murder, who is likely to be the criminal?

As he inspires thousands ‎ all over the world, he finds himself caught between two worlds and two loves from different parts of his life.‎ Truth and Consequences Ralph E. Carlson www. iuniverse. com ‎ ‎$ 12. 95 softcover / $ 3. 99 e-book The book explores the questions concerning the origin of life, the evolution of human beings and life after death. All these questions are transformed into propositions (命题）by the author. Consequences of their truth values and related topics are also discussed. In addition, the “proof” that evolution is a scientific fact is shown to be incorrect.‎ ‎1. Which book may appeal to a fan of detective fiction?‎ A. Planetary project. B. The Singer and His Songs. C. Deadly Distrust. D. Truth and Consequences.‎ ‎2. Who may disapprove of the evolution theory?‎ A. Aleksandr V. Bezgodov. B. Mary Schaller. C. Deke Rivers. D. Ralph E. Carlson.‎ ‎3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. The four books are available in three different versions.‎ B. Planetary Project deals with the future of the mankind.‎ C. The Singer and His Songs is sold on the same website as the others.‎ D. Truth and Consequences has the cheapest hardcover version.‎ B ‎“Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.‎ ‎ Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration(黄斑变性). Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill ‎ the type of virus that causes colds.‎ Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.‎ Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.‎ ‎4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?‎ A. Sticky sweets tend to damage our teeth. B. Eating garlic is good for our eyes.‎ C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.  D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds ‎5. The author develops the third paragraph mainly _____.‎ A. by cause and effects B. by order in space C. by order in time D. by examples ‎6. The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “_____”.‎ A. to be valuable  B. to be believable C. to be admirable D. to be accessible ‎7. What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives’ tales” in the text?‎ A. Subjective B. Objective  C. Favorable D. Critical C It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz．A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with human being in a project．‎ Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot．To start with，the Telenoid will be trained to imitate(模仿)the movements and simple sounds made by a ‎ human singer，and then connect music with different human emotions．‎ ‎ Previous robots had the ability to find common connections between things．But Chella suggests that a conscious robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections．The Telenoid is of this kind．“This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating，”says Philippe Pasquier．A musician needs a physical body．‎ ‎ Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge．“Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles，a famous band．However，what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs，”he says．‎ ‎ It is not clear how a robot would perform music in a new way．But by imitating humans，the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information．What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own．So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first．‎ ‎8．What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first?‎ A．Communicate with human beings．‎ B．Connect music with human emotions．‎ C．Live and work comfortably with human beings．‎ D．Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer．‎ ‎9．In Pasquier’s opinion，the Telenoid robot________. ‎ A．will replace human musicians soon B．may have trouble performing music C．will become more popular than The Beatles D．can find connections between things that humans cannot find ‎10．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?‎ A．The Telenoid，future robot musician．‎ B．How to teach robots to perform music．‎ C．The right music the robots should listen to．‎ D．Differences between a human singer and a robot musician．‎ ‎11．In which part of a newspaper would we most probably read this passage?‎ A．Arts． B．Entertainment． C．Science． D．Education．‎ ‎ D About a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.‎ ‎ Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.‎ ‎ “Even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.‎ ‎ WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases.‎ ‎ Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.‎ ‎ Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple — that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers — it was still a difficult one to get across.‎ ‎ The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.‎ ‎ Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who don’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.‎ ‎ “There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,”‎ ‎ Baldini said.‎ ‎12. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixth paragraph? ‎ A. protect B. prevent C. develop D. cure ‎13. Which of the following can be the best title of this text? ‎ A. Simple life changes could stop millions of cancers ‎ B. Cancer is a leading cause of death ‎ C. Our bad lifestyle caused many diseases ‎ D. The incidence of common cancers is rising ‎14. By writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ____. ‎ A. advise people to develop healthier lifestyle. ‎ B. warn people of the danger of cancers ‎ C. explain why many people die from cancers every year. ‎ D. introduce the ways to protect people from developing cancers ‎15. We can infer from Peter Baldini’s opinion in the last two paragraphs that ____. ‎ A. all the lung cancers are linked to smoking ‎ B. there is no medicine to cure the cancers but it’s our duty to find one ‎ C. all governments should take measures to control smokers and protect people’s health ‎ D. it’s our opportunity and duty to persuade people to give up smoking 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的五个选项并填入空白处。‎ Do’s And Don’ts of Donating Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis. 16 Here are 10 do’s and don’ts of donating your belongings.‎ Do Prepare Your Clothes You’ve thoroughly cleaned out your closet and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated. Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’re in good condition. Make sure all buttons are fastened, and that ‎ you can't see any dirty marks. 17 　‎ Don’t Donate Damaged Items The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it’s in good, useable condition. Don’t pass along old clothes or furniture with rips(裂口)or stains, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or toys with lost pieces. 18 Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.‎ Do Donate More Than Just Clothes ‎__19 Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, baskets, dishes, glassware, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are very popular donations.‎ ‎ 20 ‎ With a little common sense it’s easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation. But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought. As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or explosives.‎ A. Clothes aren’t the only household items that can be donated.‎ B. Food donations are always in need.‎ C. Don’t Even Think of Donating These Items D. Wash the items to make them fresh and ready for their new owner.‎ E. Don’t Donate Large Appliances F. Nobody wants to inherit your damaged belongings.‎ G.
