Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)

[2016·石家庄质检]Most people think about donating blood. However, very few actually do it. Even the most consistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern－day technology.
The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a “thank you” text. Though that certainly helps them feel appreciated, what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need.
Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. The_program that was started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country.
However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone's life.
While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people for authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e－mail reminders. Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light－hearted and fun－things like “We won't give up until you bleed.”
Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations, don't be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic (北欧) country's blood banks start to overflow!

[2016·荆州一中质检] Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70 km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have_gone_far_beyond_that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery (墓地) has reached full capacity.
There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated (火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution： outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”， he claims.
A 2003 decree (法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous，” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.
The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal， and will never be approved，” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution
to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery？” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.
由于当地墓地空间不足，巴西一城镇计划一条法案：禁止人们死亡。这一法案引起了人们的热议。
5．What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?
A．Ban on building a new cemetery.
B．Ban on parking in certain zones.
C．Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.
D．Prohibiting residents from dying early.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据首段“They plan to prohibit residents from dying early.”可知答案。
6．What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?
A．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.
B．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.
C．The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.
D．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句的内容“一般来说，政府会禁止在公共场合吸烟或在特定区域停车，但对巴西的这所城市来说远非如此。”可以推知。
7．What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?
A．He remains silent about them.
B．He gives strong backing to them.
C．He objects to them.
D．He asks the residents for advice on them.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第二段“They have not taken local demands into consideration.”可知，市长对此法案予以反对，他指责法案未考虑当地的实际情况。
8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.
B．The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.
C．No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.
D．The government is going to change the environmental decree.
答案：C 细节理解题。采用排除法，根据第二段中的内容可知A错误，由第四段可知B项错误，D项未提及，故答案为C。根据最后一段“But can you think of a better resolution to...”可知。
1．regulation n. 规则；规章制度
2．prohibit vt. 禁止
3．solution n. 解决问题的方法
4．ridiculous adj. 荒谬的
5．illegal adj. 非法的；不合法的
1．take ... into consideration 把……予以考虑
2．persuade sb. to do sth. 劝服某人做某事
原文：I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy.(倒装句)
译文：我没有工作，我也不健康。

Advance airport time
You are usually expected to check in 2 hours in advance. But it always pays to arrive a little earlier, as most people will arrive in the queue around this time. You are better off spending 3 hours seated in the departure waiting room with a good book than standing in the check－in queue! __2__
Enjoy the long flight
On a long flight it is important to keep yourself occupied. __3__ I still find, however, that a trusty book is the best way to kill time. I always start a book a few days before I fly so that I'm already into it before my flight.
__4__
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a constant worry for long travelers, which is very harmful to your health. But it can be avoided by ensuring that the blood flowing around your body is kept moving. You can do the exercises advised by the in－flight video and magazines, take regular walks along the passage and drink plenty of water.
Avoid jet lag
__5__ While on your flight, you can set your watch to your destination time as soon as you can and do your best to sleep when it's night time where you are going, even if that means missing onboard meals. Also, you can try to stay awake until the evening in your destination. Then you'll get adjusted to your new time zone quickly.
A．Try to stay healthy
B．Make full preparations
C．Unfortunately, the experience can be stressful for some people.
D．There are two effective ways to prevent such a case happening.
E．In a word, the earlier you are, the better chance you have.

本文强调的是英语在大学期间的重要性。
1．are admitted 考查动词语态。主语you与admit之间为被动关系，且全文用一般现在时，故填are admitted。
