9．The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever，gaining more than 808 million views on the popular media site．
The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight，Justin Bieber，whose song"Baby"had a little more than 804 million views at press time．PSY made the announcement early today．
Since its release，the song has outshone such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez's"On the Floor．"and Eminem's"Love the Way You Lie"．
And in September，"Gangnam Style"also became the most liked video on YouTube，now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up．
At the time of the announcement，the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying："In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times，and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube．PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time!"
Despite its massive popularity，the video shows no signs of slowing down，and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views．
If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day，"Gangnam Style"would be in line to break that record by the end of the year．
It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries，including the United Kingdom，Germany，F(xiàn)rance，Spain and Canada，while providing material for thousands of parody videos．
It became a staple in the 2012 presidential elections with the now ramous"Mitt Romney Style"video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda（宣傳）films promoting their supreme leader．Meanwhile，such influential figures as President Obama，UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song．

20．Traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will reduce their share of the market．
According to a survey，90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer．As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things that they need to choose，and have them delivered right to their doorsteps，they could no longer be bothered with driving，the crowds，the noise of that，and they usually get a better selection．
Cornell University Marketing Professor，McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing，which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing，as well as items that are difficult to ship．He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics．
Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy．There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place．Oftentimes，you need that last sense of"this is exactly what I want"before you part with money．And you can't always get that online．It's a rather cold process．
Traditional stores can also deliver goods more quickly than online retailers（零售商）．And smart businessmen are using stores to guide customers to websites and using their websites to encourage customers to visit their stores．
As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones，online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries

64．Traditional businessmen feel upset becauseD．
A．consumers can get a better selection by shopping online
B．more and more people purchase things on the computer
C．people like to have their goods delivered to their house
D．growing online sales will cut their share of the market
65．According to Mclaughlin，some traditional stores are keeping customers byA．
A．providing customers with extra services
B．inviting customers to try on clothing
C．delivering goods to each doorstep
D．repairing computers and electronics
66．From the 4th paragraph，we know thatC．
A．online shoppers tend to be cold to each other
B．the process of shopping online is full of emotion
C．some shoppers like the social climate in traditional stores
D．making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult
67．What is the author's attitude towards the future online commerce？B．
A．Doubtful          B．Optimistic        C．Sympathetic        D．Concerned．

17．It all began with a stop at a red light．
    Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter，Hannah，back from a sleepover in 2006 While waiting at a traffic light，they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．
"Dad，if that man had a less nice car，that man there could have a meal，"Hannah protested． The light changed and they drove on，but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered （糾纏）her parents about inequity， insisting that she wanted to do something．
"What do you want to do？"her mom responded．"Sell our house？"
Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity，while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．
Eventually，that's what the family did．The project-crazy，impetuous （魯莽的） and utterly inspiring-is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month："The Power of Half．"It's a book that，frankly，I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this，and the next tiling you know your whole family is out on the street．
At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere，when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes，the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago，It described neurological （神經(jīng)學的）evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．
Mr．Salwen and his wife，Joan，had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house．But after they downsized，there was much less space to retreat to，so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

50．The best title for the passage should be"D"．
    A．The Less，the Better                 B．An Expected Satisfaction

 A．Unfairness                       B．Satisfaction
C．Personal attitude                 D．Reasonable statement
52．What does the underlined sentence"Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．"（in paragraph 5）means？D
A．Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager
B．Unless a child is realistic，never give an answer immediately
C．Give an answer if the child is reasonable
D．Don't respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration
53．What can we learn from the last paragraph？B
A．The Salwens regretted selling their house．
B．The relationship between the family members of the Salwens is much closer．
C．Small houses can bring happiness．
D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house．
54．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？C

C．Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house．

Latest figures from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor，followed by unhealthy diets．It advises people to live healthily，limit alcohol intake and do regular exercise．
According to the figures from 2007to 2011，more than 300，000cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking．A further 145，000were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed food．Obesity contributed to 88，000cases and alcohol to 62，200．Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors．
Professor Max Parkin，a Cancer Research UK researcher，says："There's now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk，with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors．
"Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holidays so we don't want to ban beef pies and wine but it's a good time to think about taking up some healthy habits for 2015．
"Leading a healthy lifestyle can't guarantee someone won't get cancer but  we can stack the odds in our favour by taking positive steps．"
Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in reducing cancer risk．It says campaigns such as Smokefree，Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness．It's important that we continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments，but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer．

28．Which of the following is the third biggest avoidable cancer factor？A
A．Obesity．
B．Alcohol intake．
C．Unhealthy diets．
D．Physical inactivity．
29．According to Professor Max Parkin，A．
A．it's OK to drink wine during festivals

A．help others
B．improve our lives
C．discover cancer early
D．decrease our cancer risk
31．What's the main idea of the text？B
A．Most cancers are caused by smoking．
B．Cancer is greatly linked to our lifestyle．
C．There are different factors that lead to cancer．
