6. 6. 选择题 　　Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely. 　　The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. 　　Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all are men—are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football. 　　1.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses. 　　2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. 　　3.Because of better policing graffiti decreases. 　　4.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. 　　5.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.

12. 6. 正误判断题 　　I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me. 　　Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc. 　　Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can’t say enough. 　　I really enjoy living the country life. I know it’s not for everyone, but I know it's for me. 　　1. The author has lived in the countryside for more than a decade, and he/she loves living there. 　　2. Living in the country is not busy at all. 　　3. The author takes a walk or drives along country roads almost every day. 　　4. People living in the country usually go shopping every Saturday. 　　5. According to the author, nobody dislikes countryside life.

18. 6. 选择题 　　It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that? 　　Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed. 　　There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. 　　Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers. 　　Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes. Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction. 　　1. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . 　　A. fat 　　B. healthy 　　C. friendly 　　2. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that . 　　A. most large gym chains really don't want members to show up frequently 　　B. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industry 　　C. regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in their programs 　　3. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members? 　　A. To achieve functional fitness. 　　B. To build six-pack abs. 　　C. To look like a fitness model. 　　4. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? 　　A. The machines are designed for larger people. 　　B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy. 　　C. There are large mirrors on the walls. 　　5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? 　　A. Improving Women's Self-confidence through Exercises. 　　B. The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its Customers. 　　C. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People.

24. 6. 排序题 A. even without international links B. Chinese students and academics C. the crisis on economic growth D. A strong research system E. in part because of this 　　Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective, role and context and, , quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years. 　　Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of and prepare for economic recovery. 　　As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: “The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “ at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.” 　　This is precisely why should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society. And it offers additional benefits , though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.

36. 6. 填写主题句 I. Read the passage and choose the right sub-title (A-D) for each paragraph. A. The inexactitude of language B. Preventing misunderstandings C. Intercultural communication D. Fostering respect E. Avoiding conflicts Para 1 　　Intercultural communication refers to messages transmitted between members of two or more different societies. Effective intercultural communication helps firms avoid conflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster respect. Para 2 　　The workplace is growing more diverse every day. Managers cannot assume that what they find inoffensive will also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack of sensitivity can lead to claims of discrimination or harassment, which costs firms big money. Intercultural communication involves exercising sensitivity and tact to avoid such conflicts. Para 3 　　We human beings have developed language to communicate ideas to one another. Still, our language represents an imperfect form of communication. Sometimes, words cannot accurately convey an idea, because the information might be highly complex. Also, a concept that exists in one culture or language might not be part of another. Effective intercultural communication tries to bridge language gaps as effectively as possible so that everyone at the workplace finds themselves on the same page. Para 4 　　Given the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise between people from different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms often become lost in translation. For example, the English expression “to shoulder responsibility” translates into Swedish as “be a man for your hat”. Intercultural communication does not rely on expressions native to a particular language that could lead to confusion; rather, it relies on clear messages that all parties understand. Para 5 　　Communication happens differently in various cultures. What one society finds acceptable may be anathema to another. When coworkers from different cultures do not take these differences into account, not only does communication suffer but conflicts come to the fore. Effective intercultural communication does not try to ignore societal differences; rather, it respects the variations among the human race and enables people to transmit information clearly.

48. 6. 选择题 　　Is that 6 a.m. wokeout getting in the way of good sleep? Don't think your fat cells won't notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight gain. 　　The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there' “an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight,” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. But Americans don't seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average. 　　So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young, thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady. Then, a month later, they came back for four additional nights——but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit, researchers got a sample of their fat. Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised to be honest,” he says. 　　Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “Fat cells are actually your friend,” he says. “They're there to store lipids (血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you're exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells stare to become insulin resistant, the lipids star to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream,” Brady says. 　　1. According to the passage, lack of sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT . 　　A. heart disease 　　B. weight gain 　　C. diabetes 　　2. The main idea of the third paragraph is . 　　A. how to write a medical research paper 　　B. how to avoid sleep loss 　　C. how the research was conducted 　　3. What does the “leach” in the last paragraph probably mean? 　　A. Leap. 　　B. Lead. 　　C. Leak. 　　4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? 　　A. We will be in trouble if our fat cells become less responsive to insulin. 　　B. More and more studies are done to study the link between sleep and weight. 　　C. More than 20% of Americans are not getting enough sleep. 　　5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage? 　　A. Poor Sleep May Lead to Too Much Stored Fat and Disease 　　B. Sleep Experts Had Exciting Findings in a Fat Study 　　C. Americans Should Have More Than Six Hours of Sleep
