1、根据以下资料，回答题：
        New evidence of a sick, deprived population working under harshconditions contradicts earlier images of wealth and abundance from the artrecords of the ancient Egyptian city of Tell el-Amarna, a study has found．Tell el-Amarna was the capital of ancient Egypt during the reign of the pharaoh (法老) Akhenaten, who abandoned most of Egypt's old gods in favor of the Aten sun disk andbrought in a new and more expressive style of art．Akhenaten, who ruled Egypt between 1379 and 1362BC, built and lived in Tell el-Amarna in central Egypt for 15 years．The city was largely abandoned shortlyafter his death and the ascendance of the famous boy king Tutankhamun to the throne．Studies on the remains of ordinary ancient Egyptians in a cemetery in Tell el-Amarna showed thatmany of them suffered from anem/a (贫血症 ), fractured bones, stunted growth and high juvenilemortality rates, according to professors Barry Kemp and Jerome Rose, who led the research．Rose, a professor of anthropology (人类学) in the University of Arkansas in the United States, saidadults buried in the cemetery were probably brought there from other parts of Egypt．"This means that wehave a period of deprivation in Egypt prior to the Amarna phase．So maybe things were not so good for theaverage Egyptian and maybe Akhenaten said we have to change to make things better," he said．Kemp, director of the Amarna Project which seeks in part to increase public knowledge of Tell el-Amarna and surrounding region, said little attention has been given to the cemeteries of ordinary ancient Egyptians．Rose displayed pictures showing spinal (脊柱) injuries among teenagers, probably because of accidents during construction work to build the city．The study showed that anemia ran at 74 percent among children and teenagers, and at 44 percentamong adults, Rose said．The average height of men was 159 cm (5 feet 2 inches) and 153 cm among women．"Adult heights are used as an indicator for overall standard of living," he said．"Short statures(身长) reflect a diet deficient in protein．．．People were not growing to their full potential．"

What is the findings of the study mentioned in the passage?
A．The ancient Tell el-Amarna was famous for its art records．
B．The artistic exhibition of ancient Tell el-Amarna was trustworthy．
C．The art records of Tell el-Amarna showed ancient Egyptians' real life．
D．Life was really tough for average Egyptians in ancient Tell el-Amarna．

Questions are based on the following passage.
To get a sense of how women have progressed in science, take a quick tour of the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley. This is a storied place, the 36 of some of the most important discoveries in modern science--starting with Ernest Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron (回旋加速器．in1931. A generation ago, female faces were 37 and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits 38 the many distinguished physicists who made history here, 39 all of them white males.
But climb up to the third floor and you'll see a 40 display. There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the 41 head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research 42 everything from the mechanics of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they're still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real 43 may be in the smaller photos to the right: graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country's top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also 44 "I believe things are getting better," she says, "but they're not getting better as 45 as I would like.

4、根据下面内容，回答题。
A．A recent Cambridge University analysisof 76 studies involving more than 650，000 peopleconcluded，“The current evidence does not clearlysupport guidelines that low consumption of total Saturated fats．“Yet the American Heart Association（Arial，in its most recent dietary guidelines，heldfast to the idea that we must A．l eat low．fat diets for optimal  hearthealth．It’s a stance that—at the very best—is controversial，and at worst is dead wrong．As a practicing cardiologist（心脏病学家）for more than three decades，I agree with the latte—it’s dead wrong．Whydoes the AHA cling to recommendations that fly in the face of scientificevidence？
B．What I discovered was both eye．opening and disturbing．The AHA not only ignored all the other risk factors for heart disease，but it appointed someone with ties to Big Food and bizarrescientific beliefs to lead the guideline-writing panel—just the type of thing that undermines the public’s confidence in the medical community．The AHA guidelines warrant that saturated fat make up no more than 5 to 6 percent of daily calories for adults because this will lower “bad” cholesterol（胆固醇）．And，for those people who need blood pressure control，the guidelines A．so suggest lowering sodium（salt）intake to no more than a teaspoon（2，300 mg）daily．Despite many other known risk factors for heart disease，salt and fat were，astonishingly，the only two considered by the AHA panel writing the guidelines．There are many other recognized risk factors the AHA ignored，including blood sugar level，low “good” cholesterol，insulin（胰岛素）levels，and body weight—an of these are influenced by diet．
C．In fact，mostpeople who have heart attacks don’t have elevations in bad cholesterol．They are much  more likely tohave metabolic syndrome（新陈代谢综合征）—a condition that putsyou at high risk for diabetes and heart disease．Interestinglyenough，blood triglycerides（甘油三脂）do not go up with eating fat—they go up if you eat a diet high inprocessed grains，starches，andsugar．Unfortunately for the proponents ofhigh-carbohydrate（糖类）diets，highblood triglycerides are a major risk factor for heart disease．In addition．low fat／highcarb diets lower protective “good”cholesterol and raiseinsulin．
These diets are involved in the development of diabetes．which is a powerful risk factor for developing heart disease．
Heart Cheek Program’s contribution
D．The writers of the 2013 statinguidelines based their recommendations on studies that looked at the reductionin the risk of events like heart attacks in people treated with statins．compared to people on a placebo（安慰剂）．The AHAdietary guidelines do not cite any diet studies that looked at whether followinga specific diet lowered the risk of developing heart events—yet they are givingdietary advice．Why？There mightbe two plausible reasons．One is the AHA's moneymaking “HeartCheck Program．”The second is the conflict of interestof Robert Eckel—the co-chair of the panel that wrote the guidelines．
E．Forty．fivepercent of these “heart healthy” foods—over 400 of them—are meat：92 are processed meats—which have been shown to have either neutralor negative effects on heart health．Even more problematicare the foods containing added sugar．The AHA recommendsthat women consume less
than 6 teaspoons（100 calories）of sugar a day and less than 9 teaspoons（150caories）for men．Yet there areitems that get the nod of approval．from the HeartCheck program despite being near or at the sugar limit．1ikeBruce’s Yams Candied Sweet Potatoes and Healthy Choice Salisbury Steak．
F．Until this year，Heart Check approved many foods with trans-fats，which raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol，among other harmful effects on health，like increasing inflammation（发炎）and the laying down of calciumin arteries（动脉）．
G．Like the dietary guidelines，the AHA Heart Check Program appears to address only the effect of foods on cholesterol level and blood pressure．Meanwhile，since the 1 970s，our yearly sugarconsumption has increased quickly along with the incidence of diabetes and obesity．This brings us to Dr．Robert
H．Eckel，theco-chair of the Working Group．He is a consultant for Foodminds，which specializes “in food，beverage，nutrition，health and wellness．”Foodminds works with more than 30 leadingfood，beverage，and nutrition tooffer a “one stop shop of…consulting…to guide food and beverage companies innavigating the complexities around the upcoming FDA Nutrition Facts labeloverhaul．”In other words．Foodmindsis a lobbying firm for “Big Food．”
Creationist’s coming
H．And then there is this：Dr．Eckeldescribes himself as “a scientist and professing six．daycreationist and a member of the technical advisory board of the Institute forCreation Research…”Many scientists are religious．This isnot to question Dr．Eckel’s religious beliefs．but to question his ability to think sciemifically．He believes there is scientific proof that the world was created insix days and mat evolution does not exist．This shouldat least raise eyebrows when the co-chair of an influential panel charged withgiving scientifically sound dietary advice has a financial conflict of interestand proselytizes for beliefs that are anti．scientific．
I．The American people should beable to trust that only impartial scientists write guidelines．We should be confident that those experts are not working to advancecorporate interests and that they do not espouse beliefs that are well outsidethe scientific mainstream．An avowed creationist who consults for a food lobby hardly seems an appropriate choice to fulfill these criteria．For the last several decades，the AHA has promoted a low-fat high-carbohydrate diet as acornerstone of heart health．It has taken a very public position that saturated fats are a major driver of heart disease risk and the mounting tide of evidence that this is dead wrong must put it in a very uncomfortable position．And yet a fundamental requirement of science--as opposed to propaganda--is that when evidence that contradicts a hypothesis is replicated over and over again，that hypothesis must be abandoned．
J．The idea that eating high amounts of saturated fat causes hardening of the arteries—the so．Called “diet-heart hypothesis—deserves to be jettisoned along with other discredited belief systems．Creationism comes tomind．Will the AHA step up to the plate？

It is fun that blood triglycerides won’t rise when you eat fat，but go up with eating other sugar and starches．

Questions 61 to 65 are based on thefollowingpassage．
Milleunials(千禧一代)have a reputation for being pretty savvy(聪慧的)with technology and social media——not to mention their finances----一but today’s young adults are clueless when it comes to knowledge of their credit．
A new study conducted by the Consumer Federation of America and VantageScore Solutions finds that 18-34 year-olds lag behind older Americans on credit knowledge．Not that older generations are whiz kids when it comes to credit——just over 40％of consumers surveyed even know what their credit score measures，for instance—but millennials have the dubious distinction(区别)of being even less-informed than other age groups．
Only around half of milleunials have ever even bothered to order a free copy of their credit report，as compared to about three．quarters of older people surveyed．
They’re more likely to think age plays a role in credit scoring，that the government keeps track of consumer credit data and that credit repair services can legitimately fix your credit(by and large，they Can’t)．And while most of them know that a lot of credit card debt，declaring bankruptcy and missing payments can affect their credit，only 6％got everything fight when they picked from a list of factors that could potentially impact their score．
Young adults have a pretty poor grasp on how far-reaching this impact is：Only 1 8 percent knew that utility companies，cell phone carders，mortgage lenders and home insurers，landlords and credit card companies can all use a consumer’s credit when doing business with them．
They’re also unaware of the financial consequences of bad credit．just 1 5％knew that a bad credit score could cost more than$5，000 in higher interest payments over the life of a car loan．
One factor that seems to make a difference in how much credit knowledge people have is whether or not．mey’ve actually goRen their free credit report(if you’re one of the many who haven’t，you can do so at annualcreditreport．corn)．Interestingly,
people who got their credit reports knew more than those who had just gotten their credit scores．
“Those who are interested in their credit reports are probably also interested in their credit scores．”CFA executive director Stephen Brobeck says in a statement．“It’s so easy to go online and get your free reports that this action likely motivates people to learn more about credit scores．”
