  Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.
 
  The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.
 
  Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all are men—are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football.
 
  1.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses.   1    
 
  2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays.   2    
 
  3.Because of better policing graffiti decreases.   3    
 
  4.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls.   4    
 
  5.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.   5

  I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me.
 
  Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc.
 
  Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can’t say enough.
 
  I really enjoy living the country life. I know it’s not for everyone, but I know it's for me.
 
  1. The author has lived in the countryside for more than a decade, and he/she loves living there.   1    
 
  2. Living in the country is not busy at all.   2    
 
  3. The author takes a walk or drives along country roads almost every day.   3    
 
  4. People living in the country usually go shopping every Saturday.   4    
 
  5. According to the author, nobody dislikes countryside life.   5

  It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?
 
  Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.
 
  There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.
 
  Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.
 
  Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes. 
Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction.
 
  1. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to    1    .
 
  A. fat
  B. healthy
  C. friendly
 
  2. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that    2    .
 
  A. most large gym chains really don't want members to show up frequently
  B. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industry
  C. regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in their programs
 
  3. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?   3    
 
  A. To achieve functional fitness. 
  B. To build six-pack abs.
  C. To look like a fitness model.
 
  4. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?   4    
 
  A. The machines are designed for larger people.
  B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.
  C. There are large mirrors on the walls.
 
  5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?   5    
 
  A. Improving Women's Self-confidence through Exercises.

  Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）.
 
  “Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, ” says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.
 
  Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.
 
  Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.
 
  When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.
 
  1. From the passage, we learn that Horta    1    .
 
  A. is from Brazil
  B. conducts his research in the U.S.
  C. has 30 researchers on his team
 
  2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?   2    
  A. They stayed longer in school
  B. They were happier
  C. They were smarter
 
  3. Which of the following is TRUE?   3    
 
  A. Doctors don't understand the benefits of breast-feeding.
  B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.
  C. Horta's research project lasted about 30 years
 
  4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to    4    .
 
  A. finished
  B. interested
  C. polluted
 
  5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?   5    
 
  A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feeding
  B. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of Formula
  C. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of Success

  Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.
 
  After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.
 
  Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.
 
  The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.

  When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial （有争议的）, citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.
 
  Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don't know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.
 
  But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.
 
  The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens' cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,
 
  Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.
 
  Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.
 
  1. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?   1    
 
  A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.
  B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.
  C. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.
 
  2. Students pay    2    a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.
 
  A. a dollar
  B. two dollars
  C. five dollars
 
  3. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep    3    out of schools.
 
  A. cell phones
  B. weapons
  C. drugs
 
  4. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means    4    .
 
  A. necessary
  B. tough
  C. unfair
 
  5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?   5    
 
  A. After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.
  B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.
  C. A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.

  NEW YORK – The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty. They would state their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.
 
  Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.”
 
  Ali and four other men are accused of killing nearly 3,000 people in the nation's deadliest terrorist attack. The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that they will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site.
 
  Ali is also known as Ammar al-Baluchi. He is a nephew of claimed 9/11 planner, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
 
  Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain “their assessment of American foreign policy,” Fenstermaker said.
 
  “Their assessment is negative,” he said.
 
  Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others. But he said the men have discussed the trial among themselves.
 
  Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sunday's editions.
 
  Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder decided to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse. It has warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform.
 
  Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt to use the trial to express their views, “we believe the courts and the federal judge may govern the trial. The course of justice will be led appropriately and with minimal break, as federal courts have done in the past.”
