Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!
"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
51. We can infer from the article that _________.
A. Kidults like to have vitamins very much
B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys
C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults
D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much
52. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______.
A. it can help kidults feel relaxed
B. it is helpful to solve some social problems
C. it can make people loyal to one's parents
D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids
53. According to the writer, _______.
A. our society is very dull B. kidults have mental problems
C. being a kidult is nothing wrong D. some people can never grow up
B
Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine(尿), sweat and water got from air. They said “cheers” to NASA workers on the ground.
The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will save NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttle or cargo rocket. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.
The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November, but it couldn’t be used until samples（样品） were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.
“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. The taste is worth trying.”
The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet and moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are aboard, it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.
“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space station’s national lab manager.
The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.
54. According to the text, the recycling system is important because __________.
A. it makes traveling to the moon for the average person possible
B. with it NASA won’t need to ship any water up to the space station
C. it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste
D. it can help meet the need for more water after the crew is expanded
55. Which is the RIGHT time order of the following events?
a. The samples of the recycled water were tested on earth.
b. Astronauts celebrated the space’s first making water from urine.
c. The recycling system was brought up to the space station.
d. The technology for the system was used to quickly purify water.
A. a, d, c, b B. a, c, b, dC. d, c, a, b D. d, a, c, b
56. From Paragraph.5 we can know __________.
A. the process of recycling urine B. the effect of the recycling system
C. an opinion on recycling urine D. the theory behind the recycling system
57. What is the best title for the text?
A. Drink up: Space Station Recycles Urine to water
B. New Technology Is Used in the Space Station
C. The Research of NASA Has Made Great Progress
D. Good News: Water Recycled from Urine Tastes Good
C
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore（新加坡） are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries — in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus — obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay (马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
58. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.
A. many places tend to have more than one name
B. the government is usually the first to name a place
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
59. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Change suddenly.B. Change significantly.
C. Disappear very slowly.D. Disappear mysteriously.
60. Which of the following places is named after a person?
A. Raffles Place.B. Selector Airbase.
C. Piccadilly Circus.D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
61. Bras Basah Road is named _______.
A. after a personB. after a place
C. by its shapeD. after an activity
62. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.
B. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.
C. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.
D. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.
D
Many people hurt their backs when they try to lift heavy things from the floor. It is easy to hurt your back muscles when you pick up a heavy object. However, there is a correct way to lift things from the floor. If you pick up big or heavy objects correctly, you probably will not hurt your back.
To lift something from the floor correctly, first bend your knees and squat(蹲) down. Keep your back straight. Don’t bend over from your waist; keep your back and hips（髋） and waist（腰） in a line. If you bend over, the muscles in your lower back can become hurt very easily. If you keep your back and hips straight, the muscles are stronger, because they have much more support. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.
As you squat down, try to get as close to the object as possible. For example, if you are going to pick up a heavy box, squat down directly in front of it, maybe you will have to spread your knees and legs. Put one knee on each side of the box. Remember at all times to keep your back straight.
Put your hands under the object that is in front of you, between your knees.
To lift the object, you should stand up slowly. Use your muscles in order to stand up. In other words, lift with your legs, not with your back.
63. To lift a heavy object mainly depends on_____ .
A. legs B. back C. knees D. hands
64. To lift a heavy box, the most important thing you should do is _____ .
A. to put your hands under the box B. to bend your knees and squat down
C. to put one knee on each side of it D. to straighten your back at all times
65. When you lift a heavy thing, which of the following is wrong？
A. Keeping your back and hips and waist in a line.
B. Putting one knee in front of the thing.
C. Standing up slowly.
D. Putting your hands under the thing between your knees.
66. Choose the correct order in which one lifts a heavy object correctly.
a. Keep your back straight. b. Bend your knees.
c. Spread your knees and legs. d. Squat down. e. Stand up slowly.
A. a, c, b, d, e B. b, a, c, e, d C. b, d, a, c, e D. b, a, d, c, e

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this means your troubles are beginning. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, destroying your half prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can go wrong on a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly go into a panic (恐慌) and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a truck-driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meanwhile, the truck-driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident, for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!
