16."Sleep-disordered breathing"is a term for a group of conditions that can interfere with nornlal breathing while people sleep.These include snoring,mouth-breathing and sleep apnea(窒息).Sleep-disordered breathing can do more than just leave people feeling tired the next day.It can also affect people's health.In children the effects can include behavioral and emotional problems.
In a new study.1ed by Karen Bonuck at the Einstein College of Medicine.researchers asked parents about their children's breathing from when they were babies up to about age seven.The study finds sleep-disordered breathing is associated with a fifty percent increase in outcomes including hyperactivity(多動(dòng)癥),aggressiveness and problems relating to other children.
Ms.Bonuck says the more serious the breathing problems,the more serious the behavioral issues were likely to be.Other studies have:linked sleep with children's behavior,but this study was extensive enough to:reject other possible causes.
How well do you sleep?A popular belief is that sleep gets worse with age.But.in another new study,those who reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep were people in their eighties.
Researchers did a telephone survey of American aduhs.Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania medical school says the original goal was to confirm that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.The survey did find an increase during middle age,worse in women than men.But except for that,people reported that their sleep quality improved as they got older.At least they felt it did.
Mr.Grandner says."Even if sleep among older Americans is actually worse than in younger adults,feelings about it still improve with age."
In the study,health problems and depression were linked with poor sleep.But,based on the study.Mr.Grandner says older people who are not sick or depressed should be reporting better sleep."If they're not.they need to talk to their doctor."he says.He says heahtlh care providers generally dismiss sleep complaints from older adults as a normal part of aging.

4.An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013.The law,approved last March in Israel,requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show.That means a woman who is 5'8"tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,"said physician Adatto."Underweight models,"he explained,"can no longer serve as rold models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny."
But some critics in this country say it is misguided,focusing on weight instead of health.They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry."I think it's an approach that isn't going to work."Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice,who worked with an organization wich creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized.He said."I realized that only legislation can change the situation.There was no time to waste,so many girls were dieting to death."
However,the efforts to regulate models's weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health."
?Still,folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with."Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,"she says."It's a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal."
61.What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?A
A.A measure of body health based on height and weight.
B.A worldwide prize for the healthies model.
C.A new show held by those skinny models.
D.A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.
62.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring isC.
A.to change the working conditions of models
B.to lower the chance of skinny models's death
C.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
D.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
63.In the opinion of the critics,the law won't succeed becauseB.
A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B.the fashion industry is much too influential
C.it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well
D.it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models
64.What cause Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?D
A.Establishing his fashion-model agent.
B.Metting an ambitious but too skinny model.
C.Being interviewed by a reporter.
D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
65.According to the passage,the new Israeli law banning skinny models isD.
A.practical      B.a(chǎn)cceptable     C.reasonable     D.controversial.

11.The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives-almost entirely for the better.But there's a byproduct to that growth,one that's evident-or sometimes less than evident-in the smoggy,smelly skies above cities like Beijing,New Delhi and Jakarta.Thanks to new cars and power plants,air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world,and it's taking a major toll (傷亡人數(shù),代價(jià)) on global health.
How big?According to a new analysis published in the Lancet,more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010,the largest number on record.That's up from 800,000 in 2000.And it's a regional problem:65% of those deaths occurred in Asia,where the air is choked by diesel soot (內(nèi)燃發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)煙霧) from cars and trucks,as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction.In East Asia and China,1.2 million people died,as well as another 712,000 in South Asia,including India.For the first time ever,air pollution is on the world's top-10 list of killers,and it's moving up the ranks faster than any other factor.
So how can air pollution be so damaging?It is the very finest soot-so small that it roots deep within the lungs and from the enters the bloodstream-that contributes to most of the public-health toll of air pollution including death.Diesel soot,which can also cause cancer,is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas.It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers.Fro example,1 in 6 people in the U.S.live near a diesel-pollution hot spot like a rail yard,port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases.Fortunately in the U.S.a(chǎn)nd other developed nations,urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago,thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters (催化式排氣凈化器) that reduce automobile emissions.Govemments are also pushing to make air cleaner-see the White House's move last week to further tighten soot standards.It's not perfect,but we've had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change.
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up?Hopefully-though the problem may get worse before it gets better.The good news is that it doesn't take a major technological advance to improve urban air.Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded (無鉛燃油) helps,as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants.Power plants-even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal-can be fitted with pollution-control equipment that,at a price,will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants.
But the best solutions may involve urban design.In the Guardian,John Vidal notes that Delhi now has 200 cars per 1,000 people,far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore.Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in care ownership as residents become wealthier-and that doesn't have to mean deadly air pollution.Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations,witch is exactly what happened in the West.We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher.
41.What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?D
A.The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
B.The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
C.The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
D.The world's serious air pollution such as soot and dust.
42.The"byproduct"(Paragraph 1)most probably refers toA
A.consequence      B.solution         C.reform           D.design
43.The basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is thatC
A.the diesel soot is too small to be seen
B.the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe
C.the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood
D.the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
44.According to the passage,the writer actually wants to convince the readers thatD   
A.the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
B.the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
C.the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
D.the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world 
45.By describing urban design as"the best solution"in the last paragraph,the writer means thatB
A.the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
B.more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C.the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
D.the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution.

8.We all know that certain oils are healthier than others.but your oil health goes beyond just the type.The health of your oil can be related to how you use it too.
Each type of oil has what is called a"smoke point."The smoke point is the  specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down,or in more technical terms,its molecular structure begins to change.These molecular changes result in; changes in flavor,as well as  changes in nutritional value,specifically,the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce;changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil,like Olive,into one that is unhealthy.
The higher an oil's smoke point is,the higher the temperature of the oil can be.As a result,each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance.Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite oil.

Note that the above table represents oils that are refined(精煉的).Most oils we buy are refined.Refined oils tend to have much higher smoke points than when they are unrefined.They also differ in nutrition and flavor.Unrefined oils are more nutritious and they tend to be much richer in flavor.
When it comes to extremely high heat cooking,always choose oils which are refined.

62.What determines whether an oil is healthy or not?D
A.Whether it's refined or not.    
B.Its smoke point.

5.See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao?Forget about placing an order,paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you.In the near future,you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting"print"on your computer.You might find it hard to believe that you could actually"print"an object like you would a picture.But it is not that hard to understand how it would work.Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line,modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer,from the bottom to the top,gradually building up a shape.Instead of ink,the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic,resin and certain metals.The thinner each layer is-from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be.This may sound like a completely new technology,but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s.Back then,it was barely affordable for most people,so few knew about it.Last year,though,saw a big change in the 3D printing industry-printers became much cheaper.For example,10years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost£20,000,while now they cost only about£1,000,according to the BBC.Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses,3D printing can create just about anything you can think of-flutes,bikinis,jewelry,aircraft parts and even human organs.In fact,scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer,according to Science Daily.The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.However,as 3D printing becomes more common,it may bring about certain problems-such as piracy."Once you can download a coffee maker,or print out a new set of kitchen utensils on your personal 3D printer,who will visit a retail store again?"an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News.Even more frightening,what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
8.According to the article,in the future,the 3D printing technology willB.
A.enable people to make better purchases online   
B.change the way we make many products   
C.be applied as widely in our daily life as computers   
D.shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
9.What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?D
A.The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.
B.The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.
C.The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.
D.The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.
10.How is the last paragraph developed?A
A.By giving examples.B.By making comparisons.
C.By analyzing the cause and effect.D.By presenting research findings.
11.What is the best title of the passage?D
