| There are 70,000 pubs in England and Wales have several thousand more in Scotland. Every country has its drinking shop, but none has an institution quite like the British pub. The most important feature of a good pub (which modern buildings hardly ever achieve) is a feeling of something private. It must have nooks and crannies, corners and snugs, where conversations and assignations can take place without the whole world listening in. Most pubs have at least two separate bars. The "public bar" which is for ordinary and women is the basic drinking shop. The "lounge bar" (or saloon bar) which is for traveling salesmen and "ladies" probably has a carpet on the floor and rather more comfortable decoration. There may be a difference of a few pence in the drink prices, although all pubs are required by law to put their price lists easily seen on display. Pubs have been changing over the past few decades. More and more of them sell good, inexpensive food and are competing strongly with restaurants. Tea and coffee are often on offer and children are being made more welcome. The law says that no one under 14 may enter a pub, and between 14 and 18 they must be accompanied by an adult and may not buy or consume alcoholic drink. In reality some pubs, especially in country districts, welcome whole families. Some set aside special rooms for children and where there are gardens they are almost always welcome. The most basic change, however, came about in the 1938 licensing laws which allowed pubs in England and Wales to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Scottish laws already permitted all day opening.) |

| A. pubs allow people above 14 to enter alone B. pubs never allow people under 18 to enter C. pubs don't sell more expensive food than restaurants D. pubs often sell alcoholic drinks as well as tea and co  ffee |

| Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a-year-long and highly public battle with cancer. Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The Apple.com homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011". A message on the site read, "Apple has lost an imaginary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring leader." "His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts." "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple." The Silicon Valley hero who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone had resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the position to current chief executive Tim Cook. Two years before the iPhone that forever transformed the way people around the world access and use the Internet, Jobs talked about how a sense of his death was a major driver behind that vision. "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever got to help me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005. "Because almost everything－all others' expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important." "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." |
| 1. According to the passage, which statement of Steve Jobs is RIGHT? |
| A. Steve Jobs was the present CEO of Apple. B. Steve Jobs was thought to have great talent. C. Steve Jobs had no idea about his death before. D. Steve Jobs fought against cancer for a year secretly. |
| 2. What can we learn about iPhone from the passage? |
| A. People can use it to do anything they want. B. It can teach people how to surf the Internet. C. People can learn the spirit of Apple from it. D. It can change the way people use the Internet. |
| 3. In Jobs's speech in Stanford, we can learn that . |
| A. to make great achievements, you must lose everything B. people should try to achieve everything regardless of death C. people who will be dead soon must make big choices in life D. in the face of death, nothing is truly important except to follow your dream |
| 4. What's the main idea of the passage? |
| A. Steve Jobs changed the world. B. Steve Jobs died on Wednesday. C. Who will be the next Steve Jobs? D. Steve Jobs, the greatest American CEO. |

| As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease－especially in changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought about this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does  not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is just "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs. Both types have simply been called "well". In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "wellness" only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be "well", in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life. |
| 1. Today's medical care is placing more stress on . |
| A. monitoring patients' body functions B. removing people's bad living habits C. ensuring people's psychological well-being D. keeping people in a healthy physical condition |
| 2. Traditionally, a person is considered "well" if he or she . |
| A. is free from any kind of disease B. does not have any physical handicaps C. attempts to maintain the best possible health D. keeps a proper balance between work and leisure |
| 3. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? |
| A. Wellness is now just an ideal in many people's mind. B. Someone who drinks a few beers at home most nights is not healthy. C. The concept of wellness can help people face the challenges of daily life. D. A man without any physical or mental problem may not be really healthy. |
| 4. According to the author, healthy people are those who . |
| A. do not have any symptoms of disease B. have strong muscles as well as slim figures C. try to keep healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations D. can recover from illness even without seeking medical care |

| I love science and science fiction. Like many science fiction fans, I am fascinated by the possibility of time travel. However, one must combine romance with reasoning and look into the chances of time travel critically. First of all, we must remember the whole universe is in motion. If we want to go back to yesterday, our "time machine" has to move back in time and space. If someone claimed he was at home when he suddenly travelled 200 years back in time, he either had an illusion or made the story up. Two hundred years ago, Earth was in a different place in space, so how can you travel back 200 years without moving in space? Don't get me wrong. I am not knocking the genius of science fiction writers. H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine" is a great work of fiction, but that's all. I have read many other time travelling science fiction stories since reading H.G. Wells, but none address this problem of displacement. My own arg  ument for the impossibility of time travel is that physical states of the past nolonger exist and those of the future are not here yet. To be able to move back and forth in time requires everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen everywhere in the whole universe at every single moment in time－past, present, and future－to be stored as a "reality" somewhere－like the save game file of a computer game that contains every single byte of information of the game at the point it was saved, but you would need an almost extremely large file and almost extremely many of them－so it can be re-entered and communicated with, and not just light signals for viewing. To me, I don't buy it. |
| 1. Which of the following can be the best title? |
| A. How to make time travel possible? B. Why am I fascinated by time travel? C. Why do I think time travel is not possible? D. How to explain the possibility of time travel? |
| 2. What's the meaning of the underlined word "illusion"? |
| A. success B. dream C. switch D. support |
| 3. According to the author, which of the following is RIGHT? |
| A. We can go back to the past by time travel. B. People can travel to the future by moving in space. C. "The Time Machine" is nothing more than a science fiction. D. Everything that happened, is happening and will happen can be stored somewhere. |
| 4. In the author's opinion, time travel might be possible if . |
| A. people could combine romance with reasoning B. people could stop the movement of the whole universe C. people could use time machine under the instruction of H.G. Wells D. people could "save" everything in the past, present and future in a certain space |
