【題目】Nowadays, girls are so mean to each other. Many girls are becoming the victims of the harmful behaviors of the female bully.

Emma Tracey was a popular 17-year-old and a well-liked athlete who had already won a soccer scholarship to college. But none of that stopped Emma from becoming the target of online girl on girl bullying (欺凌). Emma began to receive hundreds of online unpleasant comments via the latest social networking site called www.formspring.com.

In March 2011, Emma committed suicide and although all agreed that the online bother was not the single factor that led to Emma’ death, everyone did agree that it was a contributory factor.

Unfortunately, Emma’ story is not unique. A 2010 study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center states “Cyberbullying victims were almost twice as likely to have attempted suicide compared to youth who had not experienced cyberbullying. Girls are 57% more likely to be victims of aggressive cyberbullying and 92% more likely to be the criminals.”

Suicide is obviously the extreme and no one can minimize the tragedy of it. However, there are other damages that occur as a result of aggressive bullying. It can damage self-confidence and lead to feelings of worthlessness, and also increase social isolation and make victims become withdrawn, depressed, anxious, and unsafe. So what causes girls to be so unkind towards each other?

A term known as relational aggression may best describe the cause of girl on girl bullying. It starts with a clique (派系) usually led by a girl with a high level of social status and popularity. In order not to lose her position, she will control girls within the clique and take action if she feels threatened. At the leader’s directive the girls within the clique will spread rumors and lies and annoy other girls continuously.

The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment. Girls will easily do so in the anonymity of the Internet. Finally the cause will be summarized as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of members within her clique. Underneath the confident exterior (外表) of a female bully lie desperate unsafety.

【1】The example of Emma Tracey is given to show .

A. popular youth are not easy to become the target of bullying

B. today’s youth don’t like to study any more

C. suicide is a serious problem among youth

D. cyberbullying is quite common among teenagers

C. is actually weak inside

D. is usually good at study

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文講到女生之間的網(wǎng)絡(luò)恐嚇和欺凌，由Emma的遭遇作為案例，披露出網(wǎng)上恐嚇在青少年當(dāng)中非常普遍，分析了這一現(xiàn)象的原因和其帶來的可怕后果。

【1】推理判斷題。文中講到Emma為一名網(wǎng)上恐嚇的受害者，這也是她自殺的原因之一。第四段“Unfortunately, Emma’ story is not unique.”，Emma的遭遇并不是個例，以及第四段后面給出的數(shù)據(jù)，由此可知網(wǎng)上恐嚇在青少年間非常普遍。故選D.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。最后一段“The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment.”恐嚇最初起源于學(xué)校，但由于匿名性和缺少懲罰性，很快發(fā)展為網(wǎng)絡(luò)恐嚇。故選B.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。最后一段“Finally the cause will be summarized as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of members within her clique.”這一現(xiàn)象的原因可以總結(jié)為：缺乏安全感；女孩的嫉妒心以及對她所處派系的愚忠，故選D.

【4】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。最后一段“Underneath the confident exterior (外表) of a female bully lie desperate unsafety.”，可知內(nèi)心是很脆弱的。故選C.

【題目】Reducing the amount of salt in our diets could save nearly 20,000 lives in the UK every year, according to researchers.

The recommended maximum daily intake for adults is 6g in the UK, although just month the World Health Organization (WHO) revised this down to 5g. Yet according to figures from the British Heat Foundation, men consume around 9.7g a day, while women have 7.7 g.

Fast food

Salt Content

Original chicken

2.9g per portion (份)

Spicy crayfish

3.5g per portion

Large chips

1 per portion

McDonald’s Big Mac

2.1 per portion

Not researchers at three universities, including Harvard Medical School, have revealed the dramatic effect reducing salt could have on death rates by using computer models. They estimated that reducing salt intake to 6g would save 500,000 to 850,000 lives in the US over the next decade.

British doctor Ian Campbell, medical director of charity Weight Concern, told Mail Online: Salt is a big problem in the UK, too. It’s a silent killer. Over time consuming too much of it increases the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks. About 80 percent of our salt intake comes from processed foods, so it can be difficult to avoid.

Many people are unaware of where salt is hidden, such as bread, soups, ready meals, and even breakfast cereals (麥片). The government approach has been to encourage food companies to cut the amount of salt in their products. There has been a reduction but it is taking too long. The Food Standards Agency should consider setting compulsory maximum levels for salt.

Victoria Taylor, Senior Dietitian at the British Heat Foundation, added: Eating too much salt may raise your blood pressure and having high blood pressure increases your risk of developing heart disease.

The government has worked with the food industry to reduce the amount of salt in our food and make labels clearer. But there is still work to be down by everyone because the majority of Brits are still consuming more salt than they would be.

【1】Which of the following in the table reaches the daily maximum amount of salt recommended by the WHO?

A. A large chips and a McDonald’s Big Mac.

B. A spicy crayfish and a large chips.

C. An original chicken and a spicy crayfish.

D. A McDonald’s Big Mac and an original chicken.

【2】According to the passage, when people eat processed food they ________.

A. needn’t add salt

B. should add a little salt

C. may ruin their health

D. can have risk of heart attacks

【3】To solve the problem of eating too much salt, Ian Campbell advises ________.

A. having healthier breakfast

B. punishing the illegal food companies

C. reducing the amount of processed food

D. making laws about maximum levels for salt

【4】The last paragraph emphasizes the importance of ________.

A. making food tables clearer

B. monitoring the food industry

C. promoting the awareness of salt content

D. strengthening the government’s functions

【題目】 If you go to Ethiopia, you’ll find a strange palm-like structure, which is called WarkaWater. It gathers water from fog and condensation（水珠）and is invented by an Italian firm.

When Italian designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler first visited Ethiopia in 2012, they were shocked to see women and children forced to walk miles to access what, for them, had always been within easy reach, water.

Only 34 percent of Ethiopians have access to a reliable water supply. Some travel for up to six hours a day to fetch some or, even worse, has to use pond water polluted by human waste, subject to the spread of disease.

Worldwide, about 768 million people—two and a half times the U.S. population—don’t have access to safe drinking water. So just imagine if we could just pull water out of thin air? That’s what Vittori and Vogler asked once they saw the severe problem and promised to take action. Their firm, Architecture and Vision, has since come up with WarkaWater, a grand palm-like structure that may look like something you’d see in a modern art museum, but it’s been designed to harvest water from the air.

WarkaWater, which is named after an Ethiopian fig tree, is composed of a 30-foot bamboo frame containing a fog-harvesting nylon net that can catch water easily, can be easily lowered for repairs and allow communities to measure the water level. Collecting water through condensation is hardly a new technique, but the creators of WarkaWater say their tree-inspired design is more effective, maximizing surface and perfecting every angle to produce up to 26 gallons of drinkable water a day—enough for a family of seven.

Western organizations have been working to provide clean water access in Africa for decades, so WarkaWater joins a very long list of earlier attempts. So far, high-tech solutions, like the once promising Playpump, have failed, mostly due to high costs and maintenance issues.

This is where WarkaWater stands apart—a lower-tech solution that is easy to repair and far more affordable than digging wells in the rocky Ethiopian plateau.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “subject to” in the third paragraph most probably mean?

A. Owing to B. Opposite to

C. Sensitive toD. Giving rise to

【2】WarkaWater is designed mainly to ______.

A. gather clean water efficiently

B. reduce water supply costs

C. simplify maintenance

D. preserve water supplies

【3】According to Paragraph 6, what caused Playpump to fail?

A. Lack of advanced technology

B. Unsuccessful designs

C. Lack of money and maintenance issues

D. Unreasonable structures
