11、 I had only one choice： make it work. Tiiat meant taking as 41 as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling 42 about the time I spent away from the boys.

A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer （暗 i炎）future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada. The EIU, a sist

18、er company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come. People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in

19、 public institutions, according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a quality-of-Iife* index （指數(shù)）where it is best to be born next year. One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play including cri

20、me, trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total, the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography （人 口學(xué)）social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The

21、index also looks at income per head in 2030. which is roughly when children bom in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind. Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one,

22、the Netherlands, is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain, lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly, the largest European economies 一 Germany, France and Britain — do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenv

23、iable （不值得 羨慕的）title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013. 51. According to the passage, the happiest people live in. A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria 52. The factors of telling the best place to be born dont include. A. economy B. geography C. trust i

25、4. The purpose of the text is to show people. A - the best place to be born in 2013 B. a new study made by the EIU C. the worst country to be born in 2013 D. the factors of measuring the best place to be born B Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. B

26、ut part of me didnt . I actually wanted her to fail in some ways becausel believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problemaJic victory. F

27、irst-time success is usually a fluke （僥幸）.First-time failure, by contrast, is expected to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn. In Africa they describe a good cook as "She who lias broken many pots. "If youve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably

28、 you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility their failures gave them. I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column . I write wi

29、ll be my worst - I dont set out to write it: I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way. My younger daughter is

30、a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and. she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting her body to

31、 all that stress. She risked failure and profound public embarrassment in order to feed her soul. My granddaughter is a perfectionis. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I ca

32、n tell her, though, that ifs not the end of the world. Ijideed. with luck, it is the beginning. 55. . Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail? A. Success is boring though beneficial. B. She would learn more from failure. C. It s impossible to do everything successfully. D. He wanted h

33、er to be strong enough to face hardships. 56. Whats die authors attitude toward his daughter changing her show? A. Negative. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Excited. 57. The author develops the article mainly by . A. giving examples B. following the time order C. comparing different opinions D. pre

34、senting a cause and analyzing its effects 58. The writer talked about his own experience to show that. A. we cannot depend on luck to live a good life B. we should try every possible way to avoid failure C. past failures made him dare not take risks in writing D. the thought of failure will mak

35、e you work even harder C What exactly is intelligence? There arent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene （基因）linked

36、 to intelligence has made the experts think again. Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin anal

37、yzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136. putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gen

38、e in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one. He suggests that there are probably many

39、genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one . Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people witli

40、the highest IQs jire not usually the ones who do best in their careers. ” Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s

41、 by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors （因素）in intelligence. Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memoiy. is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuse

42、s （天才） do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great. Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps ther

43、e s hope for us all? 59. What does the underlined word This m Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The development of intelligence. B. The idea of multiple intelligences. C. IQ isnt everything for intelligence. D. Alternative views have been put forward. 60. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2? A

44、- To make a suggestion. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To prove an idea. D. To give an example. 61. What can we learn from the passage? A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common. B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors. C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong lin

45、k between IQ and career. D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence. 62. What might be the best title of the passage? A. The relationship between genes and intelligence. B? IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence. C- How to develop intelligence. D. What makes intelli

46、gence D Petroleum, consisting of crude oil （原油） and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment （海洋沉淀物）.Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the sediment. As soon as

47、the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved. Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas and small drops of

48、oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment. Oil pools are valuable undergr

49、ound accumulations of oiL and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference （密度差） with water beneath it or because of

50、 the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighboring wells to help p

51、ush the oil out. As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new

52、 oil discoveries. Offshore drilluig platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean s contmental shelves. More than one-quarter of the worlds oil and almost one-fifth of the world s natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on l

53、and. Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground. 63. Which of the followin

54、g is tnie about petroleum formation? A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas. B. Large amounts of oxygen arc needed for petroleum formation to begin. C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decaying organisms. D. Petroleum forma

55、tion appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists. 64. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate? A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land. B? Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments. C. The global demand for oil has

56、 been increasing over the years. D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil. 65. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage? A. The formation, processing and exploration of petroleum B. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration. C. The changing relat

57、ionships between countries. D. The future intense situation in oil product markets. 66. What can we infer from the passage? A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well. B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future

58、. C. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil. D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now. E The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the internet Yet, time travel in Chi

59、na is bit different from time travel in common sense. It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time. There is minimum imagination involved-no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty-wh

60、atever century; everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China. It is not even called time travel ; rather the Chinese people refer it as time crossover. Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years （in fact , it is an mdispensible part of C

61、hina s online culture） , and didnt get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years. Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books. The main plot of time—travel novels or TV dram

62、as can be very well summarized in one sentence： from nobody to somebody. Time travel in China i& more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams. In China , there is no need of time machine either. People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at hist

63、orical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror. Some time-tiavel novels even start with "I wanted to go back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back. " Technology is not relevant at all. Though China is not short of hi

64、stories to go back to people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender （性別）thing. If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty. A typical example is A Step Into the Past （尋秦記），the first time?

65、-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty . On the other hand , female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with. Yongzheng Emperor is the fav

66、orite. As can be seen in Startling by Each Step （步步驚心）,a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with Yongzheng Emperor and his brothers. 67. As for time travel in China, which of the following ideas does the writer agree to ? A. it is complicated and can be classified into science fiction. B. it is often based on the familiar story in history. C. it sometimes messes up the times and social orders. D. it always occurs in any times b
