Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no matter what.
And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(評論家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(負(fù)面的) to say about the performances of the film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.
As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附帶產(chǎn)品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.

China’s 56 ethnic groups speak more than 80 languages and dialects. Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other depending on the strength of their accents, which can be mutually unintelligible (難理解的).

One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion, especially when common English aviation terms are used. Asked if there is a problem on board, a Chinese pilot might answer in the negative with the words mei you, or “there isn’t.” But someone speaking with a heavy Sichuan accent would pronounce mei you as “May day” — unconsciously parroting the universally recognized distress call (遇難信號).

Like their international counterparts (對應(yīng)物), Chinese aviators have developed codes to avoid confusion resulting from homonyms (同音異義字) or near-homonyms. They use the terms yao for one and guai for seven, which are otherwise pronounced yi and qi respectively and easily confused.

The new rule could affect all pilots, who must renew their license every six years, and adds to a growing list of burdens for the profession.

【1】What does the underlined word “impedes” in Para 1 mean?

A. improves B. helps

C. misleads D. limits

【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Sichuan dialect has the contrary meaning to Mandarin.

B. Native Mandarin speakers can understand each other well.

C. It isn’t necessary for a pilot to pass the test before January 2016.

D. “May day” is a distress call in our everyday life.

【3】What is the purpose of the Chinese aviators using the terms yao for one and guai for seven?

A. To avoid misunderstanding.

B. To communicate with their international counterparts.

C. To pass the test.

D. To avoid their accents.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Chinese Pilots Told to Get Rid of Regional Accents

B. Chinese Pilots

C. Rich Chinese Languages

D. Hard to Be a Chinese Pilot

Women who own cats are more likely to have mental health problems and kill themselves because they can be infected by a common parasite that can be caught from cat litter, a study has found.
Researchers found women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite(剛地弓形蟲), which is spread through contact with cat waste or eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables, are at increased risk of attempting suicide.
The study involved more than 45,000 women in Denmark. About a third of the world's population is infected with the parasite, which hides in cells in the brain and muscles, often without producing symptoms.
The infection, which is called toxoplasmosis(弓形蟲病), has been linked to mental illness, such as schizophrenia(精神分裂癥), and changes in behavior.
The study's senior author Doctor Teodor Postolache, an associate professor of psychiatry(精神病學(xué)) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the United States, said, “We can't say with certainty that T. gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves, but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that deserves additional studies.”
Doctor Albert Reece, vice president of medical affairs at the University of Maryland, said, “T. gondii infection is a major public health problem around the world, and many people don't realize they're infected.
“Dr Postolache is a leading expert on suicide neuroimmunology(神經(jīng)免疫學(xué)). Suicide is a critically important mental health issue. About one million people commit suicide and another 10 million attempt suicide worldwide each year. We hope that this type of research will one day help us find ways to save many lives that now end too early in suicide.”
Dr. Postolache's research team at the University of Maryland was the first to report a connection between T. gondii and suicidal behavior in 2009. He is cooperating with researchers in Denmark, Germany and Sweden to confirm and investigate the way leading to this association.
The T. gondii parasite thrives in the intestines of cats, and it is spread through their waste. All warm-blooded animals can become infected through contact with it. Humans can become infected by changing their infected cats' litter boxes, eating unwashed vegetables, drinking water from a polluted source, or by eating undercooked or raw meat.
Not washing kitchen knives after preparing raw meat before handling another food item also can lead to infection. Pregnant women can pass the parasite directly to their unborn babies and are advised not to change cat litter boxes to avoid possible infection.
Babies don't produce antibodies to T. gondii for three months after they are born, so the antibodies present in their blood represented infection in the mothers. The scientists studied Danish health patients to determine if any of these women later attempted suicide, including cases of violent suicide attempts which may have involved guns, sharp instruments and jumping from high places.
The study found that women infected with T. gondii were one and a half times more likely to attempt suicide compared to those who were not infected, and the risk seemed to rise with increasing levels of the T. gondii antibodies.
Dr Postolache noted limitations to the study, such as the inability to determine the cause of the suicidal behavior.
The findings were published online in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
（1）The objects of the research are women from _____.
A.Demark
B.the USA
C.Germany
D.Sweden
（2）The common way which is more likely to be infected with the disease is _____.
A.to eat unwashed vegetables or undercooked meat
B.to clean a place where a cat once lived for a time
C.to pass the infection to her unborn baby during a woman's pregnancy
D.to reuse kitchen tools which have been used to cut raw meat
（3）What is the consequence if a woman is infected with the parasite in the passage?
A.Having a high fever.
B.Doing deliberate self-harm.
C.Keeping a depressed mood.
D.Becoming bad tempered.
（4）What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Women have a higher risk to be infected by the parasite than men.
B.The result of the research may help the scientists to find ways to stop suicide in advance.
C.The scientists will continue their research into the possible connection.
D.The risk of being infected seems to rise with the decreasing levels of the antibodies.
（5）Which of the following statements would probably be the best title of the passage?
A.Why are women more likely to commit suicide?
B.Women should keep away from cats.
C.Ways found to deal with women's mental problems.
D.Are women who own cats at a suicide risk?

In seventh grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first part before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas carol didn't get me any role.
Am I embarrassed? No. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it's such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science proves this theory.
Researchers have conducted numerous studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy(笨拙的) way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you're competent(有能力的) at something and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.
Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A's and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.
When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy(同情) for others than ourselves. With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life's challenges going forward.
More importantly, if you're frequently worried about looking silly, you'll never be able t o get improvement at work. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn't the end of the world. Think about it: what's the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.
（1）What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?
A.A mistake makes you more likeable.
B.An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.
C.Competent people always mess up in life.
D.It's not embarrassing to share mistakes.
（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The author is proud of her work.
B.The author was once a perfectionist.
C.The author always made some mistakes.
D.The author felt ashamed of her high standards.
（3）What message can be got in the last two paragraphs?
A.Making a fool of yourself when necessary.
B.Being sensitive when it comes to forgiveness.
C.Viewing mistakes as l earning opportunities.
D.Not being afraid to face your mistakes.
（4）What does the author want to tell us in the passage?
A.It's okay to make mistakes.
B.Everyone may make mistakes.
C.It's time to forgive yourself.
D.How to forgive our mistakes.

At age 14, 15 and 16, the way we looked was the most important thing in the world to us. My friends and I wanted nothing less than perfection.
In high school, we joined the gymnastics team, and our 1 became even more important to us. We had no fat, only muscle. On the weekends, we would go to the beach, 2 of our flat stomachs.
One summer day, all my friends were at my house 3. At one point, I was running back to the pool. I 4 on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung(蟄) me. I instantly started to feel 5. That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg and foot were red, hot and swollen. I couldn't walk. I could barely 6.
When my foot started to go numb, everyone became more 7. My foot was not getting enough blood. I had to go to the 8, and my leg hurt as if it were badly broken. I couldn't move. All I could do was think about how soft my middle was becoming. That 9 me more than any concern over my leg.
That would all 10 when I heard the doctors mention possibly cutting off my foot. It was still not getting the 11 supply it needed. The doctors would have to speed up their treatment.
Never before did I have such great 12 for my foot. And walking seemed like a 13 from the gods. Less and less would I want to hear my friends talk about 14 and who was wearing what. More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.
One girl came to visit me 15. Every time she came, she brought flowers. She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and 16 the other patients.
She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking. I would not have given this girl a second 17 before. I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her 18.
Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, 19 I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and 20 good cheer. I thought if even there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her.

University — the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society... and, well, I did some work too — but I must admit that my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness (拖沓).
It is easy to look back at our university days in good ways but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has showed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, conducted by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of them feel stressed constantly.
Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didn't enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends. I'd been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite at a young age."
Dr. Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunei University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life — to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on— being able to cook. Budgeting(預(yù)算) is extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”
I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.
（1）How does the writer feel about his university life?

A.Most of them suffer from frequent stress.
B.Most of them find it hard to manage their life.
C.They fail to balance social and academic life.
D.They feel as comfortable as they expect.
（3）Dr. Ruth Caleb thinks budgeting is of great importance because it_________.
A.helps students put everything in place
B.helps students live independently
C.makes students' university life easier
D.does good to students’ social relationships
（4）Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A.Become very successful.
