Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the The Moscow Stalinist era and feature chandeliers (枝行吊灯)，marble Metro moldings and elaborate murals(精美壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden. Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also The Hong Kong introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay MTR their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores ,supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95% of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card. Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened.

Many people would interpret “The American dream” as “living like an American”—a two-story house with a white picket fence; a family with two cars; and two children.

However, the economic situation is now affecting the American way of life for 4.4 million people living in the US, according to new census (人口普查) data. “It’s going to have a long-term impact and to say it’s going to end is optimistic, ” says Cheryl Russell, former editor-in- chief of American Demographics magazine. “I’m more pessimistic that this is the new normal.” So what is the new normal?

*Marrying later. The average age of the first marriage has increased to 28.7 for men and 26.7 for women, up from 27.5 and 25.9 respectively in 2006. At the same time, fewer people are getting married. If the marriage rate had stayed the same as in 2006, there would have been about 4 million more married people in 2010.

*Fewer babies. There were 200,000 fewer births among women aged 20 to 34 in 2010 compared with two years before. This was despite the fact that the number of women of childbearing age had gone up by more than 1 million. “The recession(衰退) is the likely cause ,” says Kenneth Johnson, demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institue, “Economic fertility (生育能力)” because women delay …in uncertain times.

*Breaking up is harder. The number of divorces has been falling for 25 years as people wait longer or choose to live together before they get married. There were about 65,000 fewer divorces in 2010 than in 2008, a 7 percent decrease.

*Crowd living. Unemployment is forcing more people to live together. The number of households where people lived with “other relatives” climbed from 6.7 percent in 2006 to 7.2 percent in 2010.

*Going public. Private school enrollment decreased from 13.6 percent in 2006 to 12.8 percent in 2010.

*Fewer cars. The percentage of households without a car rose to 9.1 percent against 8.8 percent in 2006. The percent-age of households with two or more cars fell from 58 percent to 57.1 percent.

*Driving solo. When people are not working, they don’t carpool. The proportion of people aged 16 to 64 in employment dropped greatly in all but one of the 50 largest metropolitan (大城市的) areas. That has helped push the share of people driving to work alone from 76 percent in 2006 to 76.6 percent in 2010. Ride-sharing is down a full percentage point, to 9.7 percent.

After decades of skimpy（小而暴露的）skirts and sleeveless tops on game days, some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class.

In Lake County, Florida, cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops , according to a district memo. Principals at two of Lake’s eight high schools—Leesburg and Lake Minneola—are not allowing the outfits in school at all. Michelle Thomas, a cheerleader at Leesburg High School, was disappointed when she learned she couldn’t wear her outfit to school on game days. “It shows that we’re a team just like all the other sports.” She said.

But the school administrators didn’t agree. “During the educational portion of the day, they have to meet the dress code just like every other student,” said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender, who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code.

Bare midriffs(露腰装) are banned across the state by the Florida High School

[]本卷第6页（共12页）

Athletic Association, but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts. Sheila Noone, a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands, says the outfits haven’t become more revealing over the last 10 years. She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick.

“Cheerleading is athletic,” Noone said. “There’s a lot of jumping so you won’t want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch.”

Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news, but say they’ll follow the rules. Even male cheerleaders, whose pants and tops meet dress codes, chose not to wear their outfits to show unity.

“I understand, because they are kind of short,” said Holly Bishop,14, a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader, about her miniskirt. “It would’ve been really, really cool to wear them to school.”

49. According to the new dress codes for cheerleaders in some American schools, _________.

A. bare midriffs can only be worn on game days. B. cheerleading miniskirts are banned

C. cheerleader uniforms have switched from skirts to trousers D. cheerleaders have to make their uniforms less revealing.

D

Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years)， children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. After children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses（配偶）through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.

本卷第7页（共12页）

In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do exactly the opposite of what their parents wish in order to be independent. A son may decide not to go into his father’s business on purpose because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy(自主) in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. Coexisting（共存）with such love in the American family are cultural values of self-reliance and independence.

53. The writer discusses the marriage of young adults in order to show which of the following？

A. They have independence.

B. They want to win the permission of their parents. C. They enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses. D. They want to challenge the authority of their parents.

54. Most young adults in the U.S. get married because of __________. A. their parents B. financial concern C. love D. family background 55. From the passage we can know that _________.

A. American young adults are likely to obey their parents

B. most American people never make major decisions for their children C. American young adults possess cultural values of independence

D.once a young person steps into his twenties, he will leave his home permanently 56. The main idea of this passage is ________.

A. family values B. marriage arrangements C. the pursuit of a career D. decision making

Cut out part of a healthy person’s liver and transplant it into a sick person--it sounds like a complicated and dangerous operation , not to mention very expensive. But it is sometimes the only possible cure for a seriously ill patient with liver disease. Until now British scientists have just announced a new stem cell technique, which allows them to grow healthy liver cells outside human bodies. According to the researchers, it could be another five to ten years before the technique can actually be used to help patients with liver disease. However, they say the method might one day replace liver transplants altogether. The study was led by the University of Cambridge and the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute, a British genomics and genetics research institute. It was published in the journal nature on October 12,2011.

The researchers took skin cells from a patient with a mutation (变异) in a gene called alphal-antitrypsin (a-l抗胰蛋白酶). This gene makes a protein that protects our bodies against inflammation (炎症). People with changed or damaged

本卷第8页（共12页）

alphal-antitrypsin are not able to release the protein correctly from the liver, so the protein is trapped there and eventually leads to liver cirrhosis (肝硬化).

Scientists then used an advanced technique to cut away the faulty section of DNA from a stem cell and replace it with a corrected one, according to the journal. The stem cells went on to produce fresh and healthy liver cells with normal protein levels. Scientists put the new liver cells into mice and found that they worked very well. Stem cells are the life source of all other cells in the body. They could transform medicine, providing treatment for blindness, spinal cord injuries and other serous injuries. They could also be used to produce new cells for damaged organs.

David Lomas, a Cambridge biology professor who worked on the team, said: “If we can use a patient’s own skins cells to produce liver cells that we can put back into the patient, we may prevent the future need for transplantation. ”

57. What is the best title of this passage? A. How to transplant liver for patients B.A new way to transplant livers for patients C. The difficulty in curing liver patients D. New life for liver patients

58. The first paragraph is written to _______.

A. show how difficult it is to cure liver disease B. tell us what a liver transplant involves C. introduce a potential cure for liver disease D. show how serious liver disease can be

59.Why do some people get liver cirrhosis according to the article? A. Because their bodies are lacking in alphal-antitrypsin.

B. Because their skin cells are not able to protect against inflammation. C. Because the alphal-antitrypsin in their bodies is changed or damaged. D. Because their liver releases too high a level of protein. 60. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Stem cells keep liver cells healthy and fresh.

B. Equaling medicine, stem cells can cure blindness, spinal cord injuries and other serous injuries

C. Stem cells can replace the damaged organs.

D. All other cells in the body can’t work well without stem cells
