       A
       Banquets are usually held in restaurants in private rooms that have been reserved for the purpose. You will be met at the door and led to the banquet room. Traditionally, the head of your delegation should enter the room first. Do not be surprised if your hosts greet you with a loud round of applause. The proper response is to applaud back.
       Seating arrangements are stricter than in the West. Guests should never assume that they may sit where they please and should wait for hosts to guide them to their places. Traditionally, the Chinese regard the right side as the superior and the left side as the inferior. Therefore on formal occasions, the host invariably arranges for the main guests to sit on his right side.
       It is the host's responsibility to serve the guests, and at very formal banquets people do not begin to eat until the host has served a portion to the principal guest. Or, the host may simply raise his chopsticks and announce that eating has begun. After this point, one may serve oneself any food in any amount. Remember to go slow on eating. Don't fill yourself up when five courses are left to go. To stop eating in the middle of a banquet is rude, and your host may incorrectly think that something has been done to offend you.
       Drinking takes an important place in Chinese banquets. It is likely that the host will stand and hold his glass out with both hands while saying a few words. When he says the words"gan bei", which means bottoms up, all present should drain their glasses. After this initial toast, drinking and toasting are open to all. No words are needed to make a toast, and it is not necessary to drain your glass, although to do so is more respectful. When filling another glass, it is polite to fill it as full as you can. This symbolizes full respect and friendship.
       When the last dish is finished, the banquet has officially ended. There is little ceremony involved with its conclusion. The host may ask if you have eaten your fill. Then the principal host will rise, signaling that the banquet has ended. Generally, the principal host will bid good evening to everyone at the door and stay behind to settle the bill with the restaurateur. Other hosts usually accompany guests to their vehicles and remain outside waving until the cars have left the premises.
       21.To attend a formal banquet, you_______.
       A. may enter the banquet room directly when you arrive .
       B. may stop eating in the middle of the banquet.
       C.may help yourself to any food immediately the dishes are served.
       D. should applaud back when greeted with a loud round of applause .
       22.We can conclude form the passage that____
       A. To stop eating halfway means that the dishes taste bad.
       B. Guests should drain their g1asses the instant they are filled
       C. Important guests are arranged to sit on the host’s right side
       D. The more you drink , the more you respect the host.
       23.The passage mainly tells us ____
       A. Chinese food is delicious.
       B. customs and traditions at banquets in China
       C. what food guests should eat at banquets
       D. different customs between China and western countries.
       B
       A machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membrane(膜) designed to only let water molecules（分子） get through.
       Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.
       The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.
       The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology.
       "It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."
       The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. MattiasRonge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stunt(惊人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.
       "People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've installed exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers are cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produced - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."
       24.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the machine?_______.
       A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local tap water .
       B. The amount of water the machine produces is too small.
       C.The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the International Space Station
       D. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .
       25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?
       A. How the machine works.
       B. Who developed the machine.
       C. How the machine was invented.
       D. Why the machine was invented..
       26.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____
       A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the world.
       B. People do not like the water the machine processes
       C. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer.
       D. The machine is not worth popularizing.
       C
       Greece’s finance minister says his country’s financial situation is “terribly urgent” and the crisis could come to a head in a couple of weeks. Yanis Varoufakis gave the warning after eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final €7.2bn tranche(援助资金) of Greece’s €240bn EU/IMF bailout(紧急援助).
       Ministers said Greece had made “progress” but more work was needed.
       The Greek government is struggling to meet its payment obligations（责任）.Earlier, Greece began the transfer of €750m (£544m, $834m) in debt interest to the International Monetary Fund - a day ahead of a payment deadline.
       “The liquidity（资产流动性） issue is a terribly urgent issue. It’s common knowledge, let’s not beat around the bush,” Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels. “From the perspective of timing, we are talking about the next couple of weeks.”
       Greece has until the end of June to reach a reform deal with its international creditors. Its finances are running so low that it has had to ask public bodies for help. The crisis has raised the prospect that Greece might default（违约） on its debts and leave the euro.
       In a statement, the eurozone finance ministers said they “welcomed the progress that has been achieved so far” in the negotiations,” but added: “We acknowledged that more time and effort are needed to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues.” Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there had to be a full deal on the bailout（紧急财务援助） before Greece received any further payments. “There are time constraints(限制；约束) and liquidity constraints and hopefully we will reach an agreement before time runs out and before money runs out.” he said.
       There had been fears that Greece would default on its IMF debt repayment due on Tuesday. However, a Greek finance ministry official was quoted as saying that the order for repayment had been executed（实施） on Monday. Almost €1bn has been handed over to the IMF in interest payments since the start of May.
       It is unclear how the government came up with the funds, but the mayor of Greece’s second city Thessaloniki revealed last week that he had handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money.
       27. What is Yanis Varoufakis?
       1. He is Greece’s finance minister.
          B. He is an expert in the eurozone.
          C. An official of the International Monetary Fund.
    4. He is Eurogroup chairman.

28. Which of the following could be the worst result if Greece defaulted on its debts?

1. The International Monetary Fund would cancel the debt of Greece.
2. The EU would help Greece rebuild its financial system.

C. Greece might have to leave the eurozone.

D. The eurozone would accept Greece.

29. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. The EU Get Challenged. B. The International Monetary Fund Reform.

C. The EU Face Economic Crisis. D. Greece Two Weeks from Cash Crisis

30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

1. People fear that the International Monetary Fund can’t pay Greece for debt repayment.
2. Greece succeeded in paying interest payments to the IMF.
3. It is unclear how the government came up with the funds.
4. The mayor of Greece’s third city handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money.

   A pill that creates the desire to exercise?
   Scientists have discovered a compound that could make sit-ups and StairMasters as attractive as snacks and the sofa.
   31 Obesity-related conditions (heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer) comprise (包含) the nation’s leading causes of death. When it comes to the competition between food and exercise, food clearly wins the blue ribbon.
   But it’s not for lack of desire. Type in “motivation to exercise” in Google and prepare yourself for 61,900,000 results. It’s just hard to get into the rhythm of going to the gym. So hard, in fact, that people often opt (挑选) for wacky (古怪的) weight loss fads (时尚) and questionable diets instead.32
   But as researchers are struggling to create safe and effective weight loss drugs, what if there was a pill to make you want to work out? 33 A team of Swiss researchers found that when a hormone in the brain called erythropoietin (Epo) was elevated (提升) in mice, the mice were more motivated to exercise.
   “Here we show that Epo increases the motivation to exercise,” said Max Gassmann, D.V.M., a researcher involved in the work from the Institute of Veterinary (兽医的) Physiology, Vetsuisse-Faculty and Zurich Center for Integrative (综合的) Human Physiology at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.
   Pop a pill and champ at the bit to hit the gym? 34 , obviously, but also mental health disorders for which exercise is known to improve symptoms.
   “If you can’t put exercise in a pill, then maybe you can put the motivation to exercise in a pill instead,” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal, which published the research.
   “As more and more people become overweight and obese, we must attack the problem from all angles. Maybe the day will come when gyms are as easily found as fast-food restaurants.”
   35?
   A. But they are in their own ways.
   B. Or, they simply surrender to obesity.
   C. More than one-third of U.S. adults are obese.
   D. As science fiction seemingly comes to life, it may become a reality.
   E. This would have remarkable benefits for a wide range of health problems—obesity
   F. Some people are very glad to be flattered by others due to overweight and fat
   G. Now if they can just come up with a pill that motivates you to clean the house.
