The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 71 Some people are compulsive(难以自制的)shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
72 Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day,but it’s more
than a common hobby for some of them.They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who
simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it.They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need.Even though they don’t have enough money,they buy everything they want.
The question is,why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer.Some people go shopping when they are sad,worried,upset or lonely and they want to feel better.They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. 73
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction,but it can bring out problems.Some of them can be psychological.If this is the case,people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.However,the process,like for most addictions,is long,and they suffer a lot. 74 They just think about satisfying their feelings,so they spend money they don’t have. 75
A.Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs,it is difficult to get rid of. |
B.Over the years,shopping has become a very common activity. |
C.They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty. |
D.However in modern—day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. |
F.They get deep in debt,and they can even go bankrupt(破产)and get sent to prison.
G.It can also cause financial problems.

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams(拥挤).Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35 000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines(消防车) race past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day .Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

50.Where can you find everybody reading a newspaper? _____________.
A. At most London train stations B. At most Tokyo train stations
C. On a Tokyo train D. On a London train
51.Fires break out _______ in Tokyo according to the writer.

Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research—the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete.Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish.All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away.Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality or religion.
Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning.If the clone was free of genetic limitations.then the other clone would be as well.The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term.Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can"t get pregnant, to have children of their own.
Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.This, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ (s).It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side.Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life.There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development—the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment.Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance.Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear.Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society.
Scientists haven"t 100 per cent.guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal.Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool".
Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent to me personally.We should rather try to look at all "shades" of it.I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans.Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life".I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
67.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women.
B.A large number of genes will prevent us from developing.
C.Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists.
D.First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists.
68.What"s the author"s opinion on cloning?
A.Cloning should be entirely banned.
B.Cloning should be used in creating life.
C.Cloning will take away the right to reproduce.
D.Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs.
69.Where can you read this article?
A.In a story book.
B.In a magazine.
C.In a science fiction.
D.In a brochure.
70.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
This means that the house will be full of cousins, aunts and uncles that might not see each other during the year. Everyone joins in to help in the preparation of the festival. Some family members get to choose a Christmas tree to buy and bring home. Others decorate the house or wrap presents. And of course, each household needs to make lots of food!
At Christmas Eve gatherings adults have eggnog, which is made of cream, milk, sugar, eggs and brandy. Plenty of eggnog or hot cocoa is on hand in colder climates for carolers, or people who go from house to house sing Christmas carols to their neighbors.
Long ago, each child hung a stocking, or sock, over the fireplace. Santa entered down the chimney and left candy and presents inside the socks for the children. Today the tradition is carried on, but the socks are now large red sock-shaped fabric bags still called stockings. Each child can’t wait to open his or her eyes to see what Santa has left in the stocking.
Giving gifts is a Christmas tradition. However, in recent years, more and more people have complained that Christmas is too commercialized(商业化) especially in large cities. Store owners begin advertising and decorating very early in hopes of selling more goods. Some people believe that the origin of Christmas has been lost.
46.It is a traditional custom for Americans ____________.
A.to buy Christmas trees and bring them to churches for Christmas
B.to drink beer on Christmas Eve
C.to go home for Christmas with their family and relatives
D.to hung stockings on the chimney
47.The underlined word “eggnog” in the third paragraph is a kind ____________.
A.drink B.food C.egg D.present
48.Each child hung a stocking over the fireplace in order to____________.
A.get some eggnog B.have a look at Santa
C.get some candy and presents D.get some money from his/ her parents
49.The last paragraph wants to tell us that ____________.
A.giving gifts is a Christmas tradition B.giving gifts is getting more and more commercialized
C.store owners hope to get more presents D.people think there will be no Christmas in the future
