22、vey of first-year college students. Some of the questions relate to U U 1 /U /Uhealth and stress. Last year, 29 percent said they often felt “U U 2 /U /U“ by all they had to do in their last year of high school. That was 2 U U 3 /U /Upoints higher than the year before.Deborah Stipek, dean of the Sch
23、ool of Education at Stanford University, says a lot of students are under too much U U 4 /U /Ufrom parents and schools. She recently wrote about this issue in the journal Science. She used the example of her own daughter in high school. Her daughter has taken AP courses in French to earn credit towa

She told her mother she would U U 5 /U /Unever speak French again.In 2009, a U U 6 /U /Ufilm looked at the pressure on many students to succeed in school and in lives busy with activities and homework. The film is called Race to Nowhere. If you were U U 7 /U /Uyour whole life to your gr

And you have to U U 8 /U /Uthe arts.Deborah Stipek says the film shows that many students today are not experiencing the joys of learning. “I was interviewed in it, as many others were, and I think the most U U 9 /U /Uinterviews were of the students. These are students wh

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choic

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise pre
29、cious to health“. But despite some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does produce short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, U U 1 /U /Uheart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to

Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter relaxes muscles, U U 4 /

Anyway, the act of laughing probably does produce other types of physical U U 6 /U /Uthat improve an individuals emotional state. According to one c
32、lassical theory of emotion, our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to flow.Although sadness also U U 7 /U /Utears, evidence suggests that emotions can f

In an experiment a social psychologist in Germany asked volunteers to hold a pen either with their teeththereby creating an artificial smileor with their lips, which would produce a U U 8 /U /Uexpression.

You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.The Fuel of the FutureA. Which source of renewable energy
37、is most important to the European Union? Solar power, perhaps? (Europe has three quarters of the worlds total installed capacity of solar photovoltaic energy.) Or wind? (Germany trebled its wind-power capacity in the past decade.) The answer is neither. By far the largest so-called renewable fuel us
38、ed in Europe is wood.B. In its various forms, from sticks to pellets (颗粒) to sawdust, wood (or to use its fashionable name, biomass) accounts for about half of Europes renewable-energy consumption. In some countries, such as Poland and Finland, wood meets more than 80% of renewable-energy demand. Ev
39、en in Germany, home of the Energiewende (energy transformation) which has poured huge subsidies into wind and solar power, 38% of non-fossil fuel consumption comes from the stuff. After years in which European governments have boasted about their high-tech, low-carbon energy revolution, the main ben
40、eficiary seems to be the favoured fuel of pre-industrial societies.C. The idea that wood is low in carbon sounds bizarre. But the original argument for including it in the EUs list of renewable-energy supplies was respectable. If wood used in a power station comes from properly managed forests, then
41、 the carbon that billows out of the chimney can be offset (抵消) by the carbon that is captured and stored in newly-planted trees. Wood can be carbon-neutral. Whether it actually turns out to be renewable is a different matter. But once the decision had been taken to call it a renewable, its usage soa
42、red.D. In the electricity sector, wood has various advantages. Planting fields of windmills is expensive but power stations can be adapted to burn a mixture of 90% coal and 10% wood (called co-firing) with little new investment. Unlike new solar or wind farms, power stations are already linked to th
43、e grid. Moreover, wood energy is not intermittent (断续的) as is that produced from the sun and the wind: it does not require backup power at night, or on calm days. And because wood can be used in coal-fired power stations that might otherwise have been shut down under new environmental standards, it
44、is extremely popular with power companies.Money grows on treesE. The upshot was that an alliance quickly formed to back public subsidies for biomass. It bound together greens, who thought wood was carbon-neutral; utilities, which saw co-firing as a cheap way of saving their coal plants; and governme
45、nts, which saw wood as the only way to meet their renewable-energy targets. The EU wants to get 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020; it would miss this target by a country mile if it relied on solar and wind alone.F. The scramble to meet that 2020 target is creating a new sort of energy
46、 business. In the past, electricity from wood was a small-scale waste-recycling operation: Scandinavian pulp (纸浆) and paper mills would have a power station nearby which burned branches and sawdust. Later came co-firing, a marginal change. But in 2011 RWE, a large German utility, converted its Tilbury B power station in eastern England to run entirely on wood pellets (a common form of wood for burning industrially). It promptly caught fire.G. Undeterred, Drax, also i
