BIf you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind. With the average temperature for January standing at -50, it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the “Pole of Cold”, the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71.2. This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere.Interestingly, Oymyakon actually means “non-freezing water” due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the towns bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer breeders, hunters and ice fishermen.Doctors say the reason why the locals dont suffer from malnutrition(营养不良) is that their animals milk contains a lot of micronutrients.Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries where a flurry of snow brings things to a stop, Oymyakons only school only shuts if temperature falls below -52.There are few modern conveniences in the village with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burning coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town shuts down in about five hours, and the pipes freeze and crack.Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pens ink freezing and batteries losing power. The locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there is coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves dont work in such cold conditions.Another problem is burying dead bodies, which can take up to three days.24. Which of the following about Oymyakon is NOT true?A. It means “freezing water” due to cold weather. B. Its average temperature for January standing at -50. C. It is the coldest inhabited place in the world. D. The coldest ever temperature in it was -71.2.25.

The reason why burying dead bodies can be a problem may be that .A. there are few places for the dead B. its very expensive to deal with the dead C. it is hard to dig graves on the cold ground D. its unlikely to dig a grave on the cold groundCWhen a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保修卡), or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.28. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to meet a consumers needs. B. How to make an effective complaint.C. How to avoid buying something wrong. D. How to deal with complaints from consumers.29. If a consumer wants quick settlement of the problem, it is better to complain to _.A. the store manager B. the producer C. a public organization D. a shop assistant30. The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by_.A. showing the fault of it to the producer B. saying firmly it is of poor qualityC. asking politely to change it D. explaining exactly what is wrong with it31. According to the passage, the last method a consumer has to use is to _. A. write to the producer B. quarrel with the manager C. threaten to take legal means D. give the seller a threatening callDSuch chronic (慢性的) diseases as heart disease, stroke, cancer and lung disorders are the most leading causes of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.The World Health Organization (WHO) points out chronic diseases lead to about 17 million early deaths each year. The United Nations (UN) agency expects more than 380 million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015. About 80% of the deaths will happen in developing nations.Chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in richer ones. The WHO estimates (估计) that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than 500,000 million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.According to a WHO report, deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries. Until recently infectious and parasitic (寄生的) diseases have been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific but they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.As many as 80% of the deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented, health officials say. An important tool for governments is to limit the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.The UN aims to reduce chronic-disease deaths by 2% each year by international action through 2015, thats to say, 36 million lives could be saved, including 25 million in Asia and the Pacific.32. According to the passage, chronic diseases _.A. can be ignored B. can be prevented C. will disappear D. are all deadly33. In many countries, whats mainly responsible for increasing deaths from chronic diseases?A. The economic development.B. The poor living conditions.C. Infectious and parasitic diseases.D. Young peoples bad habits.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Most deaths are caused by chronic diseases in the world.B. The middle-aged are becoming victims of chronic diseases in Asia.C. Infectious and parasitic diseases are no longer death killers.D. To reduce chronic-disease deaths needs worldwide efforts.35. The best title for the passage would be “_”.A. Different Measures to Fight Chronic DiseasesB. The WHOs Report on Heath in Developing CountriesC. The UN: the Leader of International CommunityD. Chronic Diseases: the Worlds Leading Killer第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to avoid crowds when travellingBook tickets in advancePurchase tickets online before you leave home. 36 Smart travellers can also avoid the queue when visiting abroad the London Eye, Britains Houses of Parliament, Italy's Vatican Museums, and Paris's Louvre.
