Why 2012 was the best year ever
It may not feel like it, but 2012 has been the greatest year in the history of the world. Never has there been less hunger, less disease or more prosperity (繁荣). The West remains in the economic depression, but most developing countries are charging ahead, and people are being lifted out of poverty at the fastest rate ever recorded. The number of deaths caused by war and natural disasters is also mercifully low. We are living in a golden age.
Take global poverty as an example. In 1990, the UN announced Millennium Development Goals, the first of which was to halve the number of people in extreme poverty by 2015. It turned out this year that the target was met in 2008.
The doom-mongers (末世论者) will tell you that we cannot maintain worldwide economic growth without ruining our environment. But while the rich world’s economies grew by 6 per cent over the last seven years, fossil fuel (矿物燃料) consumption in those countries fell by 4 per cent. This remarkable achievement has nothing to do with green taxes or wind-farms. It is down to consumer demand for more efficient cars.
Advances in medicine and technology mean that people across the world are living longer. The average life span in Africa reached 55 this year. Ten years ago, it was 50. The number of people dying from Aids has been in decline for the last eight years. Deaths from malaria have fallen by a fifth in half a decade.
War has historically been human’s biggest killer. But in most of the world today, a generation is growing up that knows little of it. The Peace Research Institute in Oslo says there have been fewer war deaths in the last decade than any time in the last century.
Fifty years ago, the world was breathing a sigh of relief after the Cuban missile crisis. Young couples would discuss whether it was responsible to have children when the future seemed so dark. But now, it’s worth remembering that, in spite of all our problems, the forces of peace, progress and prosperity are prevailing (占优势).
1.What has caused the decrease in the fossil fuel consumption?
A. People have to pay heavier taxes on fossil fuel.
B. There are more and more renewable resources now.
C. There is a sharp decline in the number of cars.
D. People are purchasing more energy-saving cars.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. People don’t suffer from malaria any more.
B. There were many more war deaths in the last century.
C. The young generation shows little interest in war.
D. The number of Aids-affected people is declining.
3. Which one does NOT help prove that 2012 was the best year ever?
A. Fewer natural disasters occurred. B. Global poverty relieved.
C. Cuban missile crisis ended. D. Technology and medicine advanced.
4. The author tries to inform people that _______.
A. 2012 witnessed more advances in developed countries
B. 2012 brought us less starvation and more prosperity
C. 2012 saw economic growth as well as environmental destruction
D. 2012 provided us with a peaceful world free from conflicts

New York University (NYU) is one of the best universities in the United States and it has just opened a school in Shanghai in partnership with East China Normal University(ECNU). The arrival of the American university on China mainland is an example of what is being called the “globalization” of education and it is hoped that this trend will influence the quality of education in all of China’s universities by raising the standard of teaching.
NYU Shanghai’s class of 2017(students will graduate in 2017) is made up of 295 students from China, America and other countries. The students will study liberal arts courses for two years before choosing a major and when they graduate, they will receive a degree from NYU and a degree from ECNU. All the classes will be taught in English, using the teaching methods in American universities. Students will be pushed to take risks in the classroom, pushed to speak up and pushed to say things that are not completely correct, which can make them understand that it’s OK for them to make mistakes in class.
This style of learning will be challenging for many Chinese students, because they will be mixed with the foreign students both in the classroom and in the dormitory. Living and studying with foreigners day to day will provide Chinese students with a cultural as well as academic education and it’s hoped that this cross-cultural experience will benefit them when they seek jobs in the competitive global market.
China’s interest in partnering with foreign universities comes at a time when western universities are trying to expand. They realize that information, technology and business are now borderless; they also realize education should be borderless too. This trend will have a deep effect on bringing the world closer together and the students at NYU Shanghai should be excited to be on the leading edge of this trend.
1.The opening of NYU Shanghai class may help _________.
A. improve the quality of China’s university education
B. prove that NYU is the best university in the United States
C. send more Chinese students to foreign universities
D. raise the standard of teaching in American university
2.What is the NYU Shanghai’s class like?
A. It offers the same courses as NYU does in the US.
B. It’s hard to follow the classes without knowing English.
C. The students are majoring in liberal arts courses.
D. Only two-year courses will be provided in this class.
3. How should the students perform in the classroom?
A. They must express themselves correctly.
B. They should try to be active in the class.
C. They will learn something dangerous.
D. They have to correct their mistakes.
4. What can be inferred from Paragraph3?
A. More foreign students will work in Shanghai after graduation.
B. Chinese students will get a better education than foreign students.
C. It may be easier for the students to find jobs after graduation.
D. No foreign students can benefit from the cross-cultural experience.
5.Why are the western universities trying to expand?
A. Because they want to get more information and more money.
B. Because they want to improve their technology.
C. Because Shanghai is on the leading edge in China.
D. Because they think the education resources should be shared.

Last week the American Medical Association voted, for the first time, to declare obesity(肥胖) a disease. How should the rest of us respond? When we meet obese people, should we cast them a knowing glance of concern and ask how they are doing? Should we send flowers and “get well soon” cards to obese family members and friends?
Should the U.S. declare war on obesity, as we once did on cancer?
If obesity truly is a disease, then over 78 million adults and 12 million children in America just got classified as sick. Yet many sensible people know that declaring obesity a disease is a mistake. Simply put, obesity is not a disease. To be sure, it is a risk factor for some diseases.
Yet everyone who is obese does not get sick, and many normal-weight people do not stay healthy. I have known slim people who took good care of themselves throughout their lives yet fell ill and died young. Others who exhibited no particular interest in their health and did not watch their weight lived to an old age. In most cases, we simply cannot tell from a person’s weight what lies ahead for them in life. Consider Winston Churchill. Though average in height, Churchill weighed up to 250 pounds. He smoked cigars and drank relatively heavily. He did not work out. Yet he became perhaps the most important statesmen of the 20th century and one of the greatest politicians in history. He lived to age 90.
Is obesity bad for people? For some, especially patients who are extremely overweight, the answer is almost certainly yes. Would many overweight people benefit from exercising more and eating less? Again, the answer is likely yes. But this does not make obesity a disease. Many people are not harmed by carrying extra pounds, some may actually benefit from it. For these reasons, we should be careful before labeling obese people diseased.
1.What can we learn from the third paragraph ?
A. Over 90 million Americans are more or less overweight.
B. People with good sense would agree with the declaration.
C. More Americans suffer from obesity than any other diseases.
D. Obesity is the leading cause of most deadly diseases.
2.By mentioning Winston Churchill, the author wants to ________.
A. tell us slim people are more likely to die young
B. show how successful an overweight person can be
C. prove overweight people are not necessarily unhealthy
D. encourage people not to care much about their way of living
3.What is the author’s attitude towards the American Medical Association’s declaration on obesity?
A. Favorable B. Uncaring
C. Disapproving D. Friendly
4.Where can we probably find the text?
A. A government report
B. A popular science magazine
C. A website about losing weight
D. A book about famous people

'There's no place like home. 'This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their 'big kids'. Emma Craig from Money supermarket says " they're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more. "
With parents splashing out around ￡1, 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
1.Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions? ______
A.A lazy youth, an awful age.
B.East or west, home is best.
C.Two heads are better than one.
D.Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
2.Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds? ______
A.The popularity of living independently.
B.Looking after their old parents.
C.The increase of unemployment rate.
D.Their parents' financial offer.
3.What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds? ______
A.Doubtful. B.Uncertain.
C.Objective. D.Understandable.
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about? ______
A.Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B.Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C.Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D.Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.

And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
According to the UKS Office for National Statistics, about a quarter of young adults aged 20-34 live at home, and that figure has been growing.
