　　At first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Westem Roman Empire. In this city. Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna's eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. "in the past, many people couldn't read or write."says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. "Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people."

　　Passage Two

　　When you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness; if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight; and if his tail is tucked(塞)behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight.

　　Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out(甩动)his tail.

　　The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other,dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs' .

　　( )40. What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?

　　A. It has a lot to say to you. 　　 B. It wants to stop fighting.

　　C. It is going to fight. D. It likes to be patted.

　　B. Dogs are much friendlier than cats.

　　B. animals that kill and eat other animals

　　C. animals that live in the wild

　　D. animals kept by people

　　Passage Three

　　Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year olk, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan, 47, the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.

　　Editing One Teen Story- the younger sibling(姊妹篇)of One Story magazine-will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young aduit short fiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it's forced upon them in schools."

　　Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story perissue.

　　Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It's not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always start on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the 'Twilight' characters and the 'Harry Potter' characters, they feel very contemporary."

　　Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. " I would love th make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody –would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this."

　　Passage Four

　　Couples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We're now up to nearly 3.7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3.3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child.

　　Financial worries aren't the only driver. The trend towards later motherbood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring casts of raising a child, which have been calculated as $222,500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years.

　　The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child.

　　It may not be a bad thing; there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and AI Pacino, golfer. Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showed that the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection-which sometimes descends into physical fights-is mor stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it's not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.

　　( )48. The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to .

　　A. financial problems B. technical problems

　　C. health problems D. cultural problems

　　( )49. The passage shows that IVF is .

　　A. safer than natural pregnancy B. very popular in UK

　　( )50. What is a proved advantage of one-child family?

　　A. Improved family life B. Higher number of sports stars.

　　C. Efficient family education. D. Promotion of children's success.

　　( )51. The findings of the institute at the University of Essex might mean that .

　　A. the only children's lack of playmates causes problems

　　B. the only children are much happier than others

　　C. parents-children relationship is off balance

　　D. children have to struggle for parental love

　　Passage Five

　　About 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期). That means they have blood sugar that's higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2-at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11% of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probably become type 2 in 10 years or less.

　　Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabeles who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels.

　　If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis.

　　Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%.

　　Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking,playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works,too.

　　Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check.

　　Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-disbetes; 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes; and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucosc tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar.

　　( )52.What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Para graph 1?

　　A. Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes.

　　B. Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years.

　　C. Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2.

　　D. Pre- diabetes is ranked No. 1 danger threatening Americans'health.

　　( )53. To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to .

　　A. glucose levels B. exercises C. heart disease D. stroke

　　( )54. Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?

　　A. 70 mg/dl. B. 90 mg/dl. C. 110 mg/dl. D.130 mg/dl.

　　( )55. What column of a newspaper is most likely to have this article?

　　A. Technology. 　　 B. Entertainment.

　　C. Education. D. Health.
