A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer （暗 i炎）future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada. The EIU, a sister company of The Econo

17、mist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come.People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public institutions, acc

18、ording to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a quality-of-Iife* index （指數(shù)）where it is best to be born next year.One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play including crime, trust in public institu

19、tions and the health of family life. In total, the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography （人 口學(xué)）social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income

Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from the

21、euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain, lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate.

But part of me didnt . I actually wanted her to fail in some ways bec

25、ausel believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problemaJic victory. First-time success is usually a fluke （僥幸）.First-time failure, by con

26、trast, is expected to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.In Africa they describe a good cook as She who lias broken many pots. If youve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of

27、 cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility their failures gave them.I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column . I write will be my worst - I dont set out to write it: I try my best every day. I ha

28、ve learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way.My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and. she di

29、d it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress. She risked failure and profound public embarrassment in or

30、der to feed her soul.My granddaughter is a perfectionis. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that ifs not the end of the world. Ijideed. with luck, it

33、 we cannot depend on luck to live a good lifeB. we should try every possible way to avoid failureC. past failures made him dare not take risks in writingD. the thought of failure will make you work even harderCWhat exactly is intelligence? There arent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has

34、been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene （基因）linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his coll

35、eagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136.

36、 putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin him

37、self is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one . Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and c

38、areer success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people witli the highest IQs jire not usually the ones who do best in their careers. ”Many psychologists now believe that when it co

39、mes to intelligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and com

40、munication skills as relevant factors （因素）in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memoiy. is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses （天才） do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great. Pablo Picasso an

41、d Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there s hope for us all?59. What does the underlined word This m Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The development of intelligence.B. The

42、 idea of multiple intelligences.C. IQ isnt everything for intelligence.D. Alternative views have been put forward.60. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A- To make a suggestion.B. To draw a conclusion.C. To prove an idea.D. To give an example.61. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robert

43、 Plomin confirms genes have something in common.B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.62. What might be the best title of the passage?A. The r

44、elationship between genes and intelligence.B IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.C- How to develop intelligence.D. What makes intelligenceDPetroleum, consisting of crude oil （原油） and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment （海洋沉淀物）.Tiny organisms settle to the seaf

45、loor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved.Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures

46、 and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil

47、 and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.Oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oiL and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When

48、the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference （密度差） with water beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the pas

49、t. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighboring wells to help push the oil out.As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the No

50、rth Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilluig platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean s contmental shelves. More than one-quarter of the worlds oil and almost one-fifth of t

51、he world s natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on land.Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool c

52、an be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.63. Which of the following is tnie about petroleum formation?A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas.B. Large amounts of oxygen arc needed for petroleum formation to

53、 begin.C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decaying organisms.D. Petroleum formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists. 64. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate?A. More petroleum is extracted from t

54、he sea than from land.B Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.C. The global demand for oil has been increasing over the years.D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.65. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage?A. The formation, processing and e

55、xploration of petroleumB. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration.C. The changing relationships between countries.D. The future intense situation in oil product markets.66. What can we infer from the passage?A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well

56、.B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.C. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil.D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.EThe news that China bans time-travel

57、TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the internet Yet, time travel in China is bit different from time travel in common sense. It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time. There is minimum imagination involved-no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future,

58、 no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty-whatever century; everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China.It is not even called time travel ; rather the Chinese people refer it as time crossover. Time crossover has been an extremely pop

59、ular theme for online novels for years （in fact , it is an mdispensible part of China s online culture） , and didnt get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years. Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are neve

60、r better than the original books.The main plot of timetravel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence： from nobody to somebody. Time travel in China i& more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams.In China , there is no need of time machine either. Peo

61、ple travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror. Some time-tiavel novels even start with I wanted to go back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was

62、back. Technology is not relevant at all.Though China is not short of histories to go back to people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender （性別）thing. If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a d

63、ynasty. A typical example is A Step Into the Past （尋秦記），the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty .On the other hand , female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most

64、number of princes to fall in love with. Yongzheng Emperor is the favorite. As can be seen in Startling by Each Step （步步驚心）,a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with Yongzheng Emperor and his brothers.67. As for time travel in China, which of the following ideas does the writer agree to ?A. it is complicated and can be classified into science fiction.B. it is often based on the familiar story in history.C. it sometimes messes up the times and social orders.D. it always occurs in any times b
