AHis reasonable behavior BHis vivid description CHis plain appearance DHis honest attitude58We can infer from the passage that _ Ait is unsafe for people to take a free ride Bthe man was telling a lie to his listeners Cthe car probably broke down on the wayDthe two young men were familiar with the manBCar sharing is another way to drive green thats gaining in popularity, especially in urban areasPeople who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands （差事）or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharingCar sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit （非营利的）and informal car sharing servicesMembers pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need oneThe cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spotCar sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the roadMembers dont drive just because they are in a carThey plan trips, and if they dont need a car, they dont use oneStill, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the dayMembers also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownershipThey usually dont have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance （保养）, and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car paymentSo if you really want to go green but arent ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to goIf you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!59The author intends to tell us that car sharing _ Ahas become the most popular way to go to work Bhas become the best way to cut living costs Cis becoming more and more popular in cities Dis becoming popular both in urban and rural （乡村的）areas60We can conclude from the passage that _ AZipear cant help you if you are running urgent errands BZipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit CZipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment DZipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free61The second paragraph mainly tells us _ Awhy people will share a car Bwhy car sharing benefits the environment Cwhy car sharing is cheaper than owning a car Dwhy a car is available to members62Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? ACar sharing has become a new trend （趋势） BCar sharing can save you the headaches of ownership CBus sharing is even greener than car sharingDZipcar is the largest company offering car sharing servicesCVisitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pubBut these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes（失礼）for the newcomersA team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs - starting with the difficulty of getting a drinkMost pubs have no waiters - you have to go to the bar to buy drinksA group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their ownThis may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purposePub culture is designed to promote sociability（社交）in a society known for its reserveStanding at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be servedThe bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior“If you havent been to a pub, you havent been to Britain” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flatFor example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinksNothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order63The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “_” Ataste Bexperience Ctest Drecord64The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to _ Aencourage people to communicate with each other Bencourage more people to consume drinks Cattract more tourists to the pubs Dform its own character of culture65If you dont follow the local rules in a pub, _ Ayou wont buy good local drinks Byou may annoy the regular customers and bar staffCyou may fail to feel the local culture Dyou might get into a dangerous place66What may be the best title for the passage? ASelf-service Pubs in Britain BBritish Local Pubs: Special Chat Places CLocal Pub Culture in BritainDManners in British Local PubsDScientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that its best to sleep on a problemThey say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each dayThe lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, “Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiencesIts like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if its hard to explain”The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols, reports New ScientistThey compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not sleptThey found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a nights sleep than after the same time spent awake during the dayThey also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in commonBut they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awakeProfJohn Groeger, of Survey Universitys Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative （促使康复的）value”“We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with them all”67The phrase “to sleep on a problem” in Paragraph 1 most likely means “_” Ato pay full attention to a problem Bto wait until the next day for a decision Cto sleep to forget a problem Dto have difficulty in sleeping68In the study by the US research team, students were asked to _ Aput together words of similar meaningsBremember words and their meanings Cshow their knowledge of words Dmake up lists of related words69Which of the following may be easier to remember?

AIt shows that sleep may help us manage information BIt helps find out the common themes of wordsCIt tells us that more sleep can improve healthDIt proves the value of old-fashioned adviceEIn one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease.In a study of almost 3,000 men and 5,000 women, depressed men were 70 per cent more likely to develop coronary (心脏的) heart disease than those who werent depressed. While depressed women were just 12 per cent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 per cent more likely. In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure.The link works the other way around, too: While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack.The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health. But some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart. Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work.Researchers arent sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist. One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves. Theyre more likely to eat high-fat, high-calorie comfort foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease. Recent studies found that people with severe, depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy 0-3 fatty acids. People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙). These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries (动脉) and prevent the bodys natural healing mechanisms from working properly.A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous
