A
If you’re the type of traveler who just wants a suitable place to hang your hat and you don’t want to spend a fortune to do it, here are several ways to save on your next hotel room:
*Flexible hotel rates are based on supply and demand, so be aware of peak periods. If your destination’s high season is from December through April and you’re trying to book near the end of April, you might find considerable savings if you change your travel dates by a week or two.
*Check Hotel Web Sites. The large travel-booking web sites often sell rooms from the middlemen who have bought up empty hotel moms. But the major hotel chains also offer last-minute discounts, and because they’re not paying the middleman, they sometimes have better deals than the travel sites.
*Don’t be Afraid to Bargain. Most people are so intimidated(畏缩的) that they don’t bargain for a better deal. But bargaining with desk clerks for a better deal is often worth the trouble, because most hotel general managers would prefer having a customer paying a lower-than-usual rate to no customer at all. And if you find something unfair on your hotel bill, don’t be afraid to complain. To keep your goodwill, hotels will often reduce or cancel such charges.
*Avoid Hidden Costs. Expensive little extras hotels never mention can increase the cost of your stay. Don’t let this happen. Find out about resort fees, fees for parking and Internet use before you agree to stay. And don’t touch the hotel’s phone unless you absolutely have to— the rates can be more than$2 a minute even inside the United States.
41. According to the passage, which of the following will save you some money?
A. Change your visiting places in high season. B. Book rooms through Web sites.
C. Use the hotel’s phone D. Bargain with desk clerks for your room.
42. That travelers can bargain for a better deal is often based on the fact that________.
A. managers often prefer a lower-paid customer to no customer
B. there are many places which should not be charged
C. customers are often afraid to complain the price
D. the desk clerks and managers often cheat the travelers
43. The passage was mainly written to_________.
A. advertise hotels B. complain high costs
C. serve the travelers D. introduce hotel services
B
New research shows that Earth will have more than nine thousand million people by two thousand fifty. The world population is at present about six point four thousand million.
The research is from the Population Reference Bureau, a private group based in Washington. It says most growth will take place in developing countries in Africa and western Asia.
India is expected to pass China as the world’s most populated nation. By the middle of the century, the report says, India will have over one and one-half thousand million citizens, an increase of fifty percent.
China has one point three thousand million people at present. The Population Reference Bureau says the population should increase about ten percent by two thousand fifty.
Most developed nations will see a drop in their populations. The only big exception is expected to be the United States. The report says the United States will remain the third biggest nation. The population is close to three hundred million now. It is expected to reach four hundred twenty million. The report says this will be because of immigration(移民) and low death rates among babies.
Between now and two thousand fifty, Niger is expected to be the fastest growing country. The biggest decrease(下降) is expected in Bulgaria.
The study is based on information from governments and the United Nations. Researcher Carl Haub wrote the report. He examined infant(婴儿) death rates, life expectancy, birth rates and the age structure of nations. The study also considered family planning use and, for the first time, rates of AIDS.
Mister Haub says most growth will take place in countries with young populations and traditionally large families. He points to Nigeria and Japan as two nations that are moving in opposite directions in terms of population.
44. The best title for the text is likely to be _____.
A. World Population and the Development of Industry
B. Developed Country and its Population
C. Developing Country and its Population
D. World Population by 2050
45. In which of the following countries is the biggest decrease expected in the growth of the population?
A. India. B. Niger C. China D. Bulgaria
46. Most developed nations will see a fall in their populations except the US because _____.
A. the country doesn’t try to control the population growth
B. infant death rates are low
C. people all over the world move there and settle down
D. both B and C
47. How many more people is India likely to have than China by 20## according to the report?
A. 750 million. B. 75 million C. 70 million D. 200 million
C Half-Truths
Be care of those who use the truth to deceive(欺骗). When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he purposely(故意) omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Dishonest candidates(候选人) in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term(任期), her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might show off, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of dishonesty happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
48. Which statement is true according to the article?
A. Whenever telling the truth, people are really lying.
B. One can get rich in a flash by getting lottery tickets .
C. All governors help their states.
D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
49. The underlined word “omitted” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.
A. spent money B. left out C. told about D. exposed
50. The author clearly wants people to _____.
A. think carefully about what they read and hear
B. learn to tell half-truths
C. trust no one but the best friends
D. vote for female candidates
51. Another suitable title for this selection would be _____.
A. Telling the Truth
B. Everyone Lies
C. Lying With the Truth
D. Trust Nobody
D
Several interesting American museums tell about health subjects. One is the Doctor Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry. It is at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. That is where the first college in the world to train dentists began. The museum tells about the history of the medical treatment of teeth. Visitors can see some frightening devices that once were used to remove infected(受感染的) teeth. They also can see sets of teeth made of animal bone. They were made for a famous American -- the first President, George Washington.
Most people do not consider their idea of a visit to the dentist a good time. However, the director of the museum says he wanted to make the museum a fun place to visit. He says he also wants to teach visitors about the importance of taking care of their teeth.
Another museum collects devices that help people hear. The Kenneth W. Berger Hearing Aid Museum is at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. The museum has more than three-thousand hearing aids from around the world. They include old and strange devices. Some hearing aids were made to look like other objects. That is because in the past many people did not want anyone to know they were wearing a hearing aid.
52. It is common for people to think it uneasy to pay a visit to ____.
A. the University of Maryland B. the Museum of Dentistry
C. the Hearing Aid Museum D. the dentist
53. The text mainly tells about _____.
A. museums in the US

C. His artificial teeth were collected in the National Museum of Dentistry.

Intense physical exercise is not the only way to better health. Studies show that walking several times a week can lower the risk of many diseases. They include heart disease, stroke, diabetes, bone loss, arthritis, and depression. Walking also can help you lose weight.
Fast walking is good for the heart. It lowers the blood pressure. It raises the amount of good cholesterol in the blood. Researchers say walking can sharply reduce the risk of suffering a heart attack.
Studies have also shown that walking for 30 minutes a day can delay and possibly prevent the development of diabetes. People who are overweight have an especially high risk to develop this disease.
Walking strengthens the muscles and builds up the bones that they are attached to. Studies show that walking could decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis. Walking can also help ease the pain of arthritis in areas where bones are joined. This is because walking strengthens the muscles around the bones.
Experts say walking is one of the safest ways to exercise. There is a low risk of injuries. So it is good for people who are starting an exercise program for the first time and for older people.
A walking program is easy to start. You should wear loose clothes and good shoes. There are shoes that are designed especially for lots of walking.
How fast should you walk? For the best effect, doctors say you should walk fast enough to cause you to breathe hard. Yet you should still be able to talk. Let your arms move freely while you walk.
There are no rules to starting a walking program. You might walk short distances. Or you might walk up hills to strengthen your leg muscles. Health experts say you can gain the most from a walking program if you walk at about five kilometers an hour for 30 
minutes a day. You should do this about five times a week.
