As we all know, spending a long time sitting at a desk is bad for our health. However, few people think about what the results of it will be. If in 20 years, office workers do look like this life-size(与真人一样大小的) model, the future doesn't seem so bright.

She was called Emma by her creators(创造者). Emma's appearance isn't really appealing(吸引人的). Her eyes look dry and red from looking at a computer screen for hours. She has all the terrible symptoms(症状). Luckily, Emma is only a life-size model from a team of researchers. But if we don't do something, such as moving more, having the right posture (姿势) or taking regular(常规的) breaks, there's no doubt(疑问) that our world will be full of Emmas.

"Unless we make changes, these bad habits are going to make us very sick, " said William Higham, the lead writer of the study. "So don't let Emma go to waste. Take her as a warning. Improve your posture at the desk and have short breaks during the day. Otherwise, the world could be full of Emmas in 2040. That would be terrible!"

51. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "appearance"?

A. 外貌    B. 症状   C. 消失   D. 感觉

52. Which of the following is NOT true about Emma?

A. She looked terrible.      B. She is as tall as a real woman.

C. Her eyes are dry as well as red.   D. She is actually a middle-aged woman.

53. From the passage we can know.

A. we mustn't stand for a long time

B. we should sit watching the screen for a long time

C. we should improve our sitting posture from time to time

D. we had better have long breaks during the day

54. What's the best title of the passage?

Zombies(僵尸)are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk. They walk slowly, with their heads down and they will not look at you. They are living in a different world, a world of the mobile phone!

Many people are complaining about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly, making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk. Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem. They've divided up sidewalks into lanes(线路):one lane for mobile-zombies and one lane for everyone else. The experiment hasn't worked out very well, since most mobile-zombies don't even notice the lanes.

I have another suggestion for the problem. In Shanghai, we have blind paths. They are made of small raised tiles(凸起的瓷砖)that help blind people follow a straight line. Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile-zombies. A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line. Of course, I have further advice. At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile-zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!

Well, I don't think my advice is going to be taken, but I don't think special lanes for mobile-zombies will work out either. I think it's just a better idea to remind people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones.

56. According to the passage, who are mobile phone zombies?

A. The people who walk slowly.

B. The people who always play with mobile phones on the road.

C. The people who live in a different world.

D. The real zombies.

57. Why hasn't the lane for mobile-zombies in Chongqing worked out well?

A. Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes.  

B. Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing.

C. Because few mobile-zombies notice the lanes in fact.

D. Because they have blind paths.

58. The underlined word "rough" in Paragraph 3 means “____” in Chinese,

A. 柔和的     B. 光滑的  C. 漂亮的   D. 粗糙的

59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile-zombies.

B. The writer's advice for the mobile-zombies was taken.

C. Mobile-zombies should think of others on the road.  

D. The experiment has worked out too well.

60. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?

A. The End of Mankind     B. The Space Taken by Mobile Phones

C. Viruses Around Us     D. Special Lanes

Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy, loved playing in the open land near his home. The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.

It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tailed hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.

Suddenly it was announced that the “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil(土壤)would be covered with extra grounds.

When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.

Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area, and how the houses would affect(影响)the local environment. He sent letters to members of the local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.

Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign(签名), who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.

Started along the Huaihe River in eastern China, Flower Drum Lantern dance is well-known for its bright colors, different forms, and cheerful spirit.

As a traditional treasure in China, the dance has a very long history. It is said to have appeared during the Song Dynasty, developed through the Ming Dynasty, and finally widely welcomed during the Qing Dynasty. It is usually used to show the peaceful lives of people in the countryside.

In the dance, the women dancers each wears a red silk ball flower on their heads. In their hands, silk fans and scarves are used as props(道具). And the props used by men are mainly umbrellas, short wooden sticks and drums. Before 1949, women were discouraged from performing in public, so women roles were mostly played by men. That is why all of the older famous artists still alive today are men.

The dance is usually performed in an open area such as the central square of a village and the side of a river. The audiences usually come around in a circle. Inside the circle are several long benches with the drum group on one side. The performers enter the circle with the women standing on the men’s shoulders, then the men lower the women to the benches and stand beside them. The show begins when the men with umbrellas enter the performance space. They bow and lead the performers into the centre to dance.

Flower Drum Lantern dance is still quite popular across the country, especially in places such as Fengyang in Anhui, Guangshan in Henan, and Haian in Jiangsu. Even today, village dance teams often compete with each other by performing the dances during the Spring Festival.

A. with a single form B. in poor areas

C. see long benches with drums on both sides

D. find some women roles are played by men

When I was a child, my father had to do three jobs for a family of seven. Every time I saw him come back late, looking tired, I thought that I would show my thanks to my father for what he did.

Later, my father had a heart problem. One morning, his old car broke down and he asked me to pick him up from the hospital. At that time, I wanted to buy a car for him. I asked my father to go with me to pick a car. When I started talking with the seller, I found my father was interested in a brown car.

Several days later, I asked my father if he could go with me to pick up my new car. As we got there, the seller gave him a key to his new car--the brown one and said that it was for him, from me.

This hotel in the small village in Sweden is built again every year. Believe it or not, it is made of ice pulled from the nearby river. What’s even more surprising is that the hotel is getting more and more popular in the world.

The Ice Hotel has come a long way. The design is special. Each area seems like it is a “work of art”, with artists from all over the world carving（雕刻）the 47 bedrooms, the hall and the ice bar. The hotel even has a church for couples looking for a special wedding（婚礼）location!

Similar to any hotel, guests can choose to hang out all day or pick from a lot of activities such as snowshoeing, skating, overnight wilderness camps and so on. Though dining choices are quite a few in the restaurant, in the hotel, guests have very little to complain about meals. As for the drinks, they are always cool!

The best part about this building is that it is a green building. In winter, the house can be used for guests’ living and then, as summer arrives and the temperature rises, it simply turns into one giant（巨大的）pool with much water.

Over the years, many other ice hotels have come out and similar hotels can now also be found in Quebec City, Canada, Norway, Finland and Romania. However, the original（起初的）one keeps the biggest and the greatest of all. To see additional pictures or book a room, click on www.icehotel.com.

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals（信号）. We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors?

Well, it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn．As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.

Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around．This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength（波长）so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.

But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials（高反射材料） were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.

So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them, they've certainly come a long way.

56. What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?

A. Trains. B. Boats. C. Planes. D. Bicycles.

57 Which of the following colors meant go at first?

A. Red. B. Yellow. C. White. D. Green.

58. Why does red mean danger?

A. Because it's the brightest color. B. Because it can be seen far away.

C. Because railway companies say so. D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.

59. Why are school buses painted yellow?

A. Because yellow is a prettier color. B. Because yellow once meat danger.

C. Because yellow can be seen well in daytime. D. Because yellow means it's OK to go forward.

60. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. How important traffic lights are. B. Which color has the longest wavelength.

C. What red，yellow and green can be used for. D. Why traffic lights are red，yellow and green.
