2、s and shoes the list goes on and on.The idea came from Pierre Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a
3、computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth.

9、h some challenging decisionslike whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to
10、 influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, a
11、nd now everyones reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player
12、 and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.Youve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your f
13、riends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who dont cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably wont do these things either, even if other kids do. If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle,
14、talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.41. For whom is the passage most probably written?A. Students. B. Parents. C. Teachers. D. Doctors.42.

16、t is the topic of the passage?A. Friendship. B. Making decisions C. Self-confidence D. Peer pressureBFrom the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many
17、 successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experimen
18、ts that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the
19、space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it
20、is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyones effort and will benefit everyone.Led by the U.S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperatio
21、n, the ISS has come to the end of a ten-years hard work in construction. China has applied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March -F/T1 carrier rocke
22、t blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong-1 into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong-1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns (关注) abo
23、ut “China threat”. Chinas space project is not designed for military (军事的) purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankinds well-being.45. From Paragraph 2 we learn that _. A. the necessity of building the international space station is not rea
24、lized nowB. many experiments have been done in the international space stationC. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space moreD. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station46. Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries cooperation in bu

27、even pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising good shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the f
28、ace, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the publ
29、ic, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no
30、 authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.One notable case a f
31、ew years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that was dangero
32、us to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.49. It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the
33、text are_.A. objective B. costly C. unbelievable D. illegal50. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_.A. a product which was designed to produce electricityB. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC. a successful advertisement of a beauty productD. an example of a quality beauty product5

Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The court is in charge of
35、removing dangerous products.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.

36、l in a proper amountThat is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine JournalAfter tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that
37、people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didnt“Weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britains Medical Research Council“Th
38、e benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from”Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intakePublic health experts said t
39、hey hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changesBut because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 y
40、ears“We cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said DrTim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization“The 14 years is an average across the population of whats theoretically（理论上地）possible”“Most people know that things like a good diet matter a
41、nd that smoking isnt good for them, ” Susan Jebb said“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change”53.

42、very dayC. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every dayD. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day54.We can learn from the passage that A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the studyB. the study observed people as well as tested specific changesC. theres no need for people under 45 to adopt

45、Extra 14 YearsEDrunken drivingsometimes called Americas socially accepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic（流行病）. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually
46、 referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many we
47、ll-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 1820-year-
48、old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.Thou
