9.Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar．So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too．Right? Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen!What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?

10.Last year, the production rate _____by 20 percent.

11.根据以下资料，回答103-106题。 　　The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe. 　　The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. 　　Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. 　　Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 　　The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC. 105 What was the main finding of the study?

12.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of ProfessorFaulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we areageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losingtheir ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could beslowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front andside sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the humancharacter.Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty?and seventy?year?olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using thehead.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in thetowns.Those least at risk, says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White?collar workers doing routine work are,however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farmworker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulateproperly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need.“The best way to maintaingood blood circulation is through using the brain,”he says.“Think hard and engage inconversation.Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”The professor’s tests show that__________.

13.Passage FiveAs my train wasn't due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some newspapers to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt didn't seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway-tickets, money, scraps of paper, and photographs fell out of it; but no matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown-looking object, no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed and wrote them down as they came to me.After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed the case already. This hadn't happened fortunately, for after a time I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away.Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt slipped out with it. I couldn't help blushing and looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before too !The writer had plenty of time to spare as his train__________.

14.Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black．Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life．"If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice." 　　James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare．She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family．Now she discovers another child is on the way．"How would you counsel that woman?" asked James. 　　"Have an abortion," the woman responded．"That child would have a very poor quality of life." 　　"I have a vested interest in your answer," James said．"The woman I described was my mother．I was the fifth of six children born into poverty．And, in case you're interested, the quality of my life is just fine!"[单选题] James' father __.

15.Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, themonthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47,the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal lastmonth.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryanachance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young adult shortfiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are youngerpeople outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month.That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools. "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like itssiblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith. It's not about having a message or positive spin (说教). It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary. "Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this.”According to Ryan。what attracts young readers most? ’

18.Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips youmake to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School ofNursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classedas non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to thedrug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence doesnot support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adultswho eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a highereducational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, theydocontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.What is the conclusion of the study?
