第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并将答案写在答题卡上。

A

The Shanghai Technical Supervision Bureau recently released the results of a sample survey of mobile-phones being sold in the city’s markets. The survey revealed that nine of 14 types, or 64 percent, of imported brand-name mobile-phones fulfilled the standards.

A large number of the low-quality ‘foreign’ cellphones which were marketed as world-famous brands were actually fake (假的) shoddy products lacking the necessary information such as registered trademarks (注册商标), factory of origin, quality certifications and safety indices (指数).

In addition, a survey of Shanghai footwear markets conducted by the Bureau on 30-odd occasions since early this year indicated various brands of ‘foreign shoes,’ including Nike and Puma, were low-quality fake goods. The so-called world-famous brands, priced between 300-500 yuan per pair, were actually worth only 40-60 yuan.

An official from the China Consumer Association pointed to the following complaints concerning “foreign goods” quality problems related to individual products have developed into a universal problem directly related to quantity shipments of goods. It is thus quite obvious that the punishment for fake foreign goods is a task requiring the extreme immediacy (迫切性).

The appearance of fake low-quality foreign goods has disadvantageously affected the normal operations of China’s real foreign-goods markets, has greatly harmed the interests of consumers and resulted in heavy losses in state tax revenue(税收). Officials have pointed out that the key to cracking down on fake foreign goods is to attack illegal acts related to selling fake foreign goods of poor quality at the prices applicable for real products.

Officials recommend that product inspection, technical supervision and industrial and commercial departments should strengthen law enforcement efforts, increase the frequency of inspections, and remove the sources of fake foreign goods.

Companies producing and marketing fake foreign goods should be given severe punishment, with all cases referred to the law departments for trial and public supervision should be strengthened. Consumers, on the other hand, should make every effort to constantly improve their ability to identify fake foreign goods, and should avoid blindly purchasing such products simply because of their low price.

56. The underlined word “shoddy” in Paragraph 2 is similar in meaning to ______.

A. poor-quality       B. branded        C. low-price       D. foreign

57. The survey on Shanghai footwear markets showed that ______.

A. “foreign shoes” of various brands were of low quality

B. many of the world famous brand shoes sold were actually fake ones

C. world-famous brands of shoes should be sold at the price of 40 to 60 yuan

D. people were paying much more than they should to buy foreign goods

58. An official from the China Consumer Association pointed out that ______.

A. the quality of foreign goods should be improved immediately

B. more and more people were dissatisfied with the quality of foreign goods

C. the problem of fake foreign goods should be dealt with immediately

D. improper shipping could damage the quality of goods

59. One of the negative effects of fake foreign goods was that ______.

A. prices for foreign goods had to be kept low

B. the government suffered great losses in tax collection

C. consumers might lose interest in them

D. the government might be forced to ban the import of all foreign goods

60. It is suggested that consumers______.

A. should resist the temptation to buy goods at low prices

B. should report fake goods by referring them to the law departments

C. should perform the role of government inspection bodies to watch out for fake goods

D. should learn to distinguish fake foreign goods from real ones

B

(Reuters)—A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday, and European officials said two people on board were using false identities.

There were no reports of bad weather and no sign of why the Boeing 777-200ER would have vanished from radar screens about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.

“We are not ruling out any possibilities,” Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad JauhariYahya told a news conference.

By the early hours of Sunday, there were no confirmed signs of the plane or any wreckage, well over 24 hours after it went missing. Operations will continue through the night, officials said.

There were no indications of sabotage (蓄意破坏) nor claims of an attack. But the passenger list issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans—Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi—who, according to their foreign ministries, were not in fact on the plane.

A foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna said: “Our embassy got the information that there was an Austrian on board. That was the passenger list from Malaysia Airlines. Our system came back with a note that this is a stolen passport.”

Austrian police had found the man safe at home. The passport was stolen two years ago while he was travelling in Thailand, the spokesman said.

The foreign ministry in Rome said no Italian was on the plane either, despite the inclusion of Maraldi’s name on the list. His mother, RenataLucchi, told Reuters his passport was lost, presumed stolen, in Thailand in 2013.

U.S. and European security officials said that there was no proof of any terrorist link and there could be other explanations for the use of stolen passports.

61. What was Ahmad JauhariYahya’s attitude?

A. Uncertain.             B. Negative.          C. Positive.          D. Confident.

62. According to the passage, the foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna had made sure ______.

A. two passports had been stolen by two Europeans

B. Christian Kozel was the man who kidnapped the plane

C. the Austrian on board was actually at home

D. Christian Kozel lied to the police

63. Which of the following is true about Maraldi?

A. He was from Austria.

B. He was found safe at home.

C. His mother was sad when she saw his name on the list.

D. His passport was lost in Thailand.

64. Who should be responsible for the missing of the plane according to the passage?

A. Terrorists.                     B. Two people using false identities.

C. We are not sure.                D. Christian Kozel and Luigi Maraldi.

It doesn’t kill germs better than cooler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbon equal to the emissions of Barbados.

People typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs, a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country.

It’s cold and flu season, when many people are concerned about avoiding germs. But forget what you think you know about hand washing, say researchers at Vanderbilt University. Chances are good that how you clean up is not helping you stay healthy; it is helping to make the planet sick.

Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.”

Carrico said, “It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be way too hot for you to tolerate.”

She explained that boiling water, 212°F (99.98°C), is sometimes used to kill germs - for example, to clean drinking water that might be polluted with germs. But “hot” water for hand washing is generally within 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C.) At the high end of that range, heat could kill some germs, but the sustained contact that would be required would scald the skin.

Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature, her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed(冲洗)and dried properly.

In fact,  she noted that hot water can often have an unfavorable effect on hygiene. “Warmer water can harm the skin and affect the protective layer on the outside, which can cause it to be less resistant to bacteria,” said Carrico.

Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carrico’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet.

“Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear minor, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said.

That’s roughly equal to the emissions of two coal-fired power plants, or 1,250,000 passenger vehicles, over the course of a year. It’s higher than the greenhouse gas emissions of small countries like El Salvador or Armenia, and is about equiv alent to the emissions of Barbados. If all US citizens washed their hands in cooler water, it would be like eliminating the energy-related carbon emissions of 299,700 US homes, or the total annual emissions from the US zinc or lead industries.

The researchers found that close to 70 percent of respondents said they believe that using hot water is more effective than warm, room temperature, or cold water, despite a lack of evidence backing that up, said Carrico. Her study noted research that showed a “strong cognitive(认知的) connection” between water temperature and hygiene in both the United States and Western Europe, compared to other countries, like Japan, where hot water is associated more with comfort than with health.

The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.

70. Which can be served as the title of the passage?

A. Hot water or cooler water in hand washing?

B. Hot water contributes to the serious worsening of our planet.

C. Consumption of hot water is unnecessary and wasteful.

D. Advantages and disadvantages of using hot water .

71. The underlined word scald in paragraph six probably means         .

A. burn    B. improve      C. soften    D. wrinkle

72. According to the passage, all the following share roughly the same CO2 emissions yearly EXCEPT         .

A. two coal-fired power plants    B. US zinc or lead industries

C. 1,250,000 passenger vehicles    D. El Salvador or Armenia

73. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

A. Boiling water at 212°F (99.98°C) works effectively in killing germs.

B. Warmer water can damage the protective layer of the outside skin.

C. There is much difference between cold water and hot water in reducing bacteria.

D. Americans have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions in hand washing.

74. Which of the following is the standard of a comfortable water temperature for washing hands?

A. Warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

B. Between 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C).

C. Below 104°F (40°C) or above 131°F (55°C).

D. Warm enough to kill germs and clean up.

75. If you want to read stories of this kind afterwards, which of the following magazines will you probably subscribe to?

A. Universal Science Fiction      B. Science & Discoveries

C. Environment & Protection      D. Exploration of America

第四部分  书面表达(共两节，满分35分)

第一节  阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)

(1) It’ s a lot easier to use shortcuts when we text, isn’t it? The average American teen sends 60 text messages a day and you can bet that most of them are full of abbreviation (缩写) and lacking in proper punctuation (标点)。

(2) But while we might think nothing of it, there’s an ongoing debate about the potentially harmful effects that text messaging can have on people’s grammar. Many believe the abbreviations used by students are causing them to develop bad habits when it comes to spelling and punctuation.

(3) Some teachers say that texting and social networking can make students lazy when it comes to writing properly. The results of a recent study showed that young adults who often use text language are less likely to switch back to proper grammar when needed. But another view is that text messaging has no effect at all, as many people consider it to be a language of its own.

(4) Whether It’s harmful or not, it seems that text language is seeping(渗透) into the mainstream one way or another. In a study published last year, 64 percent of teens admitted using informal “text language” in their regular classrooms, and in writing assignments. This could mean that poor grammar is becoming the standard for written communication through incredible laziness.

(5) But it isn’t just a matter of language ---students who frequently text during class also have difficulty concentrating. In another survey, students were asked to complete a questionnaire on how many text messages they sent and received during class. On average, students sent more than two text messages during lectures lasting 50 to 73 minutes. The research showed that students who frequently text during class are less likely to focus on lectures, therefore affecting their studies.

76. How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage? (within 5 words)

77. What are the two main features of most text messages? (within 10 words)

78. What effect will using text language frequently have on students’ writing? (within 10 words)

79. Why does the writer think that the text messaging is seeping into the mainstream? (within 10 words)

80. What does the passage mainly talk about? (within 6 words)
