       After Christmas comes the anti-Christmas. If the festive season is all about filing up on the things you like that are bad for you, then the new year is the "detox season" -- when people across the westem world adopt special diets to lose weight and get rid of the vague feeling that they have spent the last few weeks poisoning themselves.
       But are detox diets really necessary? After all, the body itself gets rid of unwanted substances. That's what the liver and kidney are for.
       "The detox fad -- or fads, as there are many methods -- is an example of the capacity of people to believe in and pay for magic despite the lack of any sound evidence. " says Martin Wiseman, professor of human nutrition at the University of Southampton in the UK.
       Most of the pills, juices, teas and oils that are sold for their detoxifying effects on the body have no scientific foundation for their claims, according to the research. People would be better off having a glass of water and going to bed early.
       Detox diets may be magic rather science, but they are the kind of magic which many people want to perform. That may have something to do with the western diet in general.
       Scientists and dieticians argue that the benefits people feel are not due to their body getting rid of excessive toxins but are due to changing from what is likely to have been a "poor" diet.
       Having fewer headaches, for example, is probably the result of being fully hydrated due to drinking so much water and better skin may be due to eating more fruit and vegetables.
       Detox diets may also be dangerous, as they may deprive vulnerable groups -- pregnant women, for instance, or growing teenagers —of the kind of nutrients they need.
       Yet their popularity continues to rise. This may be something to do with the way that food works within many western cultures. Generally, a country's food develops along with its economy and society. Food becomes part of a person's cultural identity.
       In some countries, this link has been broken. In the UK, for example, rapid industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries saw millions of people move from the countryside to the towns interrupting the development of a national cuisine. The United States, a country of immigrants from many different places, has found it hard to develop a national cuisine. In both places, comparatively few people cook for themselves and food supply is dominated by big processing and agribusiness companies.
       Detox diets are more popular in these countries than in places like France and Italy, where strong links between food and national culture remain, and where far more people regularly cook for themselves instead of buying processed foods.
       Perhaps detox diets are successful because many westerners have lost trust in what they eat.On the other hand, they may help re-introduce people to the kind of food that is necessary for a healthy diet. And after learning that, they won't poison themselves in the first place.
       This would mean radical changes in the way that people eat across the west. And that would be an unwelcome development for the food industry. From the business point of view, it is much better to: sell people the problem and then sell them the solution.

Detox begins after Christmas when people think that they have been overeating during the Christmas season and have taken in many substances that are bad for their health.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

17、Many pregnant women and growing teenagers are suffering from mal-nutrition because of the detox diets they take.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

18、Both the UK and the USA lack a national cuisine as a result of similar historical development.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

19、The French and the Italians cook for themselves more often than the British and the Americans, which helps them to keep the link between food and their culture.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

20、On the whole the eastern people like the Chinese and the Japanese have a stronger link between their food and their culture than the western people.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

21、A positive effect of detox diets is that it helps people to see what foods are good for their health.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

22、Food industry would make even greater profits if people should all start to eat healthy foods and stop poisoning themselves.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned[page]

23、根据材料，回答23-31问题。
       1. In today's knowledge economy, nations survive on the things they do best. Japanese design electronics while Germans export engineering techniques. The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.
       2. Britain specializes in the gift of talking. The nation doesn't manufacture much of anything.But it has lawyers, stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk, talk and more talk. The World Foundation think tank' says the UK's four iconic jobs today are not scientists, engineers, teachers and nurses. Instead, they're hairdressers, celebrities,management consultants and managers. But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.
       3. Although the country's trade deficit was more than 60 billion in 2006, UK's largest in the postwar period, officials say the country has nothing to worry about. In fact, Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry, and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad. It also trades services-accountancy, insurance, banking and advertising. The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy. After all, the
country of Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud. Rock "n" roll is an English language medium, and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands. In other words, the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
       4.However, creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services. The industries are finding it hard to make a profit, according to a report of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts. The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in "innovation activities", 3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany (61 percent) and Sweden (47 percent).
       5.In fact, it might be better to call Britain a "servant" economy -- there are at least 4 million people "in service". The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean, and take care of their children. Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree. Most employment growth has been, and will continue to be, at the low-skill end of the service sector in shops, bars, hotels,, domestic service and innursing and care homes.

      Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone -- not just for aprivileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, andalso the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.
      Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and"Americanizing" the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.
     The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal,but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.
      Students spend much time, learning how to use resource material, statistics and computers.
      Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.
      This is America's answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time: "How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understano.

      The structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society. The family's form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences. The most common form in North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children. The nuclear family is an independent unit. It must be prepared to fend tor itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies. Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is they live in retirement communities and nursing homes. They live in retirement communities and nursing homes.
      There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America, and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits, who live in harsh environments.
      The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. The harsh conditions, mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans, the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.
      The nuclear family was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian time,the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family. This might have included grandparents, mother and father, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. In North
      America today, there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households. Twice as many, households in the United States are headed by divorced, separated, or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family, not just in North
America, but throughout the world, continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.

41、根据材料，回答41-46问题。
      Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.
      First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.
      Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens or thousands of years in developing.
      This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are" certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.
      A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.
      Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.   This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any languages.

In the second paragraph the author thinks that__________.
A．some backward race doesn't have a language of its own
B．some race in history didn't possess a language of its own
C．any human race, whether backward or not, has a language
D．some races on earth can communicate without language

42、According to the author, people of undeveloped cultures can have languages.__________.
A．complicated
B．uncivilized
C．primitive
D．well-known

43、The author has used American Indian languages as an example to show that they are__________.
A．just as old as some well-known languages
B．just as sophisticated as some well-known languages
C．more developed than some well-known languages
D．more complex than some well-known languages

44、Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A．A language is a means of expressing a particular culture.
B．All languages can well express their respective cultures.
C．American Indian languages are as sophisticated as English.
D．Some languages are better than other languages.

45、According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in__________.
A．grammar.
B．pronunciation.
C．vocabulary.
D．intonation.[page]

       An earth scientist has rejigged the periodic table to make chemistry simpler to teach to students. (46) But Bruce Railsback from the University of Georgia says he is the first to create a table that breaks with tradition and shows the ions of each element rather than just the elements themselves.
       "I got tired of breaking my arms trying to explain the periodic table to earth students," he says, criss-crossing his hands in the air and pointing to different bits of a traditional table.(47)But he has added contour lines to charge density, helping to explain which ions react with which.
       "Geochemists just want an intuitive sense of what's going on with the elements," says Albert Galy from the University of Cambridge. (48)
       (49)He explains that sulphur, for example, shows up in three different spots one -- for sulphide, which is found in minerals, one for sulphite, and one for sulphate, which is found in sea slat, for instance.
       He has also included symbols to show which ions are nutrients, and which are common in soil or water. (50)

A．There have been many attempts to redesign the periodic table since Dmitri Mendeleev drew it up in 1871.
B．Railsback has still ordered the elements according to the number of protons they have.
C．"1 imagine this would be good for undergraduates. "
D．Railsback has listed some elements more than once.
