Hair loss,or getting bald,is quite common.Nearly two out of every three men will begin balding 41 they're60.Most don't part with their hair willingly—American males collectively spend$1billion ayear trying to
42 their hair.And with good reason,recent research suggests that women find balding men less attractive than their 43 who have athick head of hair,and they may also be 44 for executive positions in their careers.But what really causes hair loss,and is there anything that can be done 45 it?This natural breakthrough for hair loss may be the answer.
Recent research suggests that the most 46 type of hair loss,male pattern baldness,can be 47 by faulty hair-making cells in the skin of the head.Researchers have long believed that men whose hair 48 thins—starting with areceding hairline,and then stretching to the crown—lacked asufficient number of these cells.49,it appears that the cells are merely unable to complete their normal development and mature to afully-functioning state.That finding could be the key to reversing hair thinning and baldness 50 the universal belief that there is no effective cure for hair loss.

PARTⅣ READING COMPREHENSION
(45minutes,30points,1point each)
Directions:In this part of the test,there are five short passages.Read each passage carefully,and then do the questions that follow.Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with asingle bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.
Passage One
In recent years,lots of big economies have followed America's lead in tightening anti-bribery enforcement.It is right that bribery should be punished.The economic effects of illegal profits are startling.Bribery distorts competition and diverts national resources into dishonest officials'offshore accounts.But the cost and complexity of investigations are spiraling beyond what is reasonable,fed by ahungry"compliance industry"of lawyers who have never seen alocal bribery issue that did not call for an exhaustive global review,and by competing prosecutors,who increasingly run overlapping probes in different countries.
To stop adescent into investigative madness,enforcement needs to be reformed in four ways.First,regulators should rein in the excesses of the compliance industry and take into account the cost to firms of sprawling investigations.When firms admit to having uncovered bribery among their managers,regulators expect them to investigate themselves.The authorities should tell them what level of investigation they want so that companies are not overzealous out of fear of seeming evasive.This is slowly starting to happen,with officials telling firms they should not"aimlessly boil the ocean."
Second,governments should lower costs by harmonizing anti-bribery laws and improving co-ordination between national probes.The OECD,whose anti-bribery convention has gained wide acceptance,is the natural body to lead this effort.
Third,more cases should go to court.Too often,prosecutors force firms to agree to settlements based on controversial legal theories.Taking such matters to court would have the advantage of establishing clear precedents.When firms are reluctant to go to trial,because they are worried about the financial costs of acriminal charge,the terms of settlements should at least undergo more judicial scrutiny.
Lastly,anti-bribery laws should be amended to offer companies a"compliance defense."If firms can show that they had sound anti-bribery policies,that they were making reasonable efforts to uphold them,that the wrongdoing did not involve senior managers and that they came forward to the authorities promptly,the penalties should be greatly reduced.
Corrosive as bribery is,the response must be proportionate.Investigations that drag on are awaste of management and public resources.The starting-point for up to half of all cases is afirm's voluntary disclosure,but if costs continue to rise then firms may be more tempted to bury their bad news.Anti-corruption campaigners would have nothing to cheer if the cure ended up being more harmful than the disease.
51.The central idea of the first paragraph is that investigations of bribery are.
A.absolutely necessary now
B.too costly and complicated
C.making no sense to businesses
D.becoming increasingly easier
52.The underlined words in Paragraph Two probably mean.
A.do not overact by trying to appear responsible
B.attempt to let off as many suspects as possible
C.refuse to assume responsibility for any bribery
D.are inclined to do something to combat bribery
53.The first way proposed to reform enforcement is to.
A.have regulators conduct each probe
B.try to do what seems impossible
C.conduct detailed investigations
D.curb redundant investigations
54.Other ways to reform enforcement include the following EXCEPT.
A.settling more bribery cases in court
B.enhancing related laws and coordination
C.greatly increasing penalties to companies
D.granting companies acompliance defense
55.In the last paragraph,the author is trying to argue that.
A.few firms are willing to disclose cases of bribery
B.anti-corruption campaigners are prone to disease
C.most companies enjoy receiving good news
D.staggering costs will hinder bribery investigations
56.This passage is intended to highlight the fact that.
A.it is extremely difficult to combat commercial bribery
B.the system for handling bribery is becoming ridiculous
C.there is no point investigating any allegations of bribery
D.bribery has been effectively controlled in the United States
Passage Two
"Give me aplace to stand on,and Iwill move the Earth."So Archimedes explained the power of levers in the physical world.The digital realm has levers of its own:"platforms,"the technological point of support upon which many businesses can be built.Control of an important platform is asource of economic power.Microsoft used the power of its Windows operating-system platform to shape the destiny of an entire industry—and to capture an outsized share of its profits.Some worry that Google's dominance of the web-search business lets it perform asimilar trick today.
Europe is not leaving it to chance.On April15th the European Commission sent a"statement of objections"to Google,accusing it of abusing its dominant position in the internet-search market and reviving an antitrust case that has dragged on for five years.In Europe Google handles more than90%of web searches,making it the place to be for many advertisers.Whether it has harmed consumers by using its dominant platform to steer them away from rival services and towards its own,such as Google Shopping,is at the heart of the case.
Europe is discovering its failure to develop many of the platforms underlying the online economy.Much of the world's digital territory has in effect been occupied by America without afight.The big danger is that as the world relies ever more on platforms operated by Google and other American firms,they may be able to repeat this trick in areas that have hitherto been Europe's strong point:fashion,energy and luxury vehicles,for instance."We might invest in producing wonderful cars,but those selling the new services for the car would be making the money."
Rather than trying to rein in American firms,European politicians should focus on fixing what is holding back the old world's most promising platforms:the lack of acommon digital market.Today only15%of consumers shop online across borders within the EU.To set up Europe-wide operations,an e-commerce firm has to jump through numerous bureaucratic rings,from tax rules to labor laws,in each country.Also,the digital strategies available are so far short on substance.If Europe wants to be America's equal in the creation of new technological platforms,it needs to recognize the importance of scale.America,with its large and open domestic market,has it.Europe does not.
57.According to Paragraph1,there is the concern that Google will.
A.possibly dominate the entire industry of web-search
B.replace Microsoft as the most profitable company
C.exercise monopoly over the IT industry in Europe
D.try to establish as many platforms as Microsoft has
58.The underlined words in Paragraph2probably mean.
A.having few opportunities
B.being doomed to failure
C.taking some countermeasures
D.enjoying no advantage
59.The antitrust case as mentioned in Paragraph2is chiefly concerned with.
A.how Google has won trust in European markets
B.Google's leading role in the Internet-search market
C.the possibility of unfair competition by Google
D.the partnership between Google and other companies
60.Paragraph3implies that.
A.selling new services for the car is not as profitable as producing cars
B.Google and other American companies are suspected of deception
C.America has come to dominate the digital world after bitter struggles
D.American firms threaten to dominate sectors Europe dominates now
61.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A.Europe worries about its lack of big digital platforms.
B.Rigorous control over Google is not the best solution.
C.Opening digital markets across Europe is not easy.
D.Europe has alarge and open domestic market already.
62.Which of the following best serves as the title of this passage?
A.Perfect Services from Google.B.Nothing to Stand on.
C.Evolution of Digital Platforms.D.America—a World Leader.
Passage Three
It was supposed to be aquick diversion,Katie Inman told herself last week as she flipped open her laptop.She had two tests to study for,three problem sets due,a paper to revise.But within minutes,the MIT sophomore was drawn into the depths of the Internet,her work put aside.
"I had just closed Facebook,but then Ireopened it.It's horrible,"said Inman,a mechanical engineering major."I would type asentence for my paper,and then get back on Facebook."
Desperate for productivity,Inman did something many of her classmates at one of the most wired campuses would find inconceivable:She installed aprogram that blocks certain websites for up to24hours.No social networking.No e-mail.No aimless surfing.
While Inman took matters into her own hands,some MIT professors are urging college leaders across the country to free students from their binding to technology.Over the past decade,schools raced to connect students to the Internet—in dorms,classrooms,even under the old oak tree.But now,what once would have been considered abnormal is an active point of discussion:pulling the virtual plug to encourage students to pay more attention in class and become more skilled at real-life social networking.
"I have been abit suspicious about the value of making an entire campus wireless,"said Lawrence Bacow,former chancellor of MIT,where he was aprofessor when it began wiring all classrooms in the mid-1990s."It seems like everyone is always plugged in and always distracted."
At MIT,where the Internet is accessible even near the banks of the Charles River,students'eyes obsessively wander,midconversation,down to laptops and cellphones,checking for missed updates from friends.
In class,professors complain about students trading stocks online,shopping for Hermès scarves,showing one another video clips on YouTube—leading some faculty to call for the unwiring of all lecture halls.
"Students are totally shameless about how they use their computers in class,"said David Jones,an MIT professor."I imagine having aWi-Fi jammer in my lecture halls to block access to distractions."
While MIT has yet to unwire asingle lecture hall,some law schools have in recent years blocked wireless access in classrooms to keep students engaged in Socratic discussions instead of their classmates'Groupon and eBay activities.
Since digital monsters have come,can hunters be far behind?
63.Katie Inman is mentioned in the first two paragraphs as an example of.
A.academically excellent students
B.efficient users of the computer
C.students addicted to the Internet
D.heavy-loaded college students
64.The word"productivity"in Paragraph3probably refers to the ability to.
A.finish school assignments quickly
B.get online as soon as possible
C.block the access to the Internet
D.return to Facebook immediately
65.As mentioned in Paragraph4,some MIT professors expect students to.
A.get connected to the Internet
B.show more interest in technology
C.listen to the lecturer more attentively
D.stop using any plug in their dorms
66.According to this passage,students at MIT are notoriously busy at class.
A.getting wired instead of listening
B.taking alot of notes using laptops
C.updating the software of their laptops
D.getting involved in discussions
67.The author of this passage believes that schools should.
A.expel students addicted to the web
B.pay no attention to these distractions
C.stop students using cell phones on campus
D.restrict the access to digital distractions
68.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A.Benefits and Risks of the Digital Revolution.
B.Trapped in an Endless Web of Distractions.
C.Ways to Stay Clear of the Wireless World.
D.Improved Accessibility of the Internet at MIT.
Passage Four
Even in the absence of definitive science on the potential hazards surrounding the use of electronic cigarettes,regulations are needed now to head off health concerns.One such restriction should be aban on indoor use of the devices.That's according to anew report published by the World Health Organization(WTO)on August26.Electronic cigarettes"represent an evolving frontier,filled with promise and threat for tobacco control."The popular devices deliver an aerosolized(雾化的)solution to users by heating anicotine solution that users breathe in.
In the past nine years the e-cigarette industry has exploded to include more than400brands in aroughly$3-billion industry.Yet flavorings that attract children,poor quality control between brands and apparent rapid experimentation among adolescent users have triggered growing fears that e-cigs are anew gateway drug.The U.S.CDC reported earlier this week that more than aquarter million youth who had never smoked traditional tobacco cigarettes used e-cigs last year—representing aroughly three-fold increase from2011to2013.
The WHO report recommends that countries regulate the e-cigarette industry by such means as blocking e-cig manufacturers from making health claims about the devices that suggest they are effective aids for quitting smoking,banning e-cig use in public places and restricting advertising for the products.Other recommendations in the report include subjecting the devices to the same inspection and monitoring typical for tobacco products,restricting sales to minors and possibly requiring health warnings on the packaging.
Most of these gadgets"have not been tested by independent scientists,but the limited testing has revealed wide variations in the nature of the toxicity of contents and emissions."Factors including how long and deep users puff on e-cigarettes,the lack of uniformity in the e-cig flavoring solutions and the possibility that users could potentially overdose on the nicotine found in the liquid—or that the drug may contribute to other health risks—must all be considered,the agency says.The WHO recommends that smokers attempting to quit should first turn to tried-and-true methods such as the patch and nicotine gum before turning to e-cigarettes.
The U.S.Food and Drug Administration in April proposed regulations for e-cigarettes that have not yet been finalized.Those regulations,if implemented,would block youths from buying e-cigarettes and require health warnings on the products.They would not,however,ban advertising or online sales,which critics contend allow minors easy access to the devices.
69.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means that e-cigarettes
A.involves high-technology
B.have reached adead end
C.have an uncertain future
D.will replace tobacco smoking
70.It can be concluded from Paragraph2that e-cigarettes.
A.are getting increasingly popular in the U.S.
B.can lead to smoking of tobacco cigarettes
C.have undergone much experimentation
D.have proved to be agateway drug
71.Paragraph3is chiefly concerned with.
A.potential regulatory options that can be considered
B.the multitude of adverse effects of e-cigarettes
C.measures that have been taken in different countries
D.various obstacles to the popularity of e-cigarettes
72.According to Paragraph4,all the following are problems with e-cigarettes EXCEPT.
A.inadequate testing
B.discrepancy in toxicity
C.different flavoring solutions
D.inevitable addiction to nicotine
73.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.
A.e-cigarette advertising will be totally banned
B.regulations proposed by FDA are in force
C.online sales of e-cigarettes will be restricted
D.teenagers can get e-cigarettes easily online
74.Which of the following can best serve as the title for this passage?
A.E-cigarettes,More of aBlessing or aCurse.
B.WHO Calls for Electronic Cigarette Regulation.
C.Reasons for the Popularity of E-cigarettes.
D.How E-cigarettes Impair Human Health.
Passage Five
To please shareholders and shoppers,American companies are promising to use more recycled materials in their products.It's anice idea,but surprisingly hard to achieve.Most recycled materials should be cheaper than virgin commodities,but America throws too much stuff away.Low landfill fees and afragmented waste-management system have kept the country's recycling rate at around34%for two decades—far lower than most rich countries.
Proving the value of recycling is not easy.Industry analysts say$1.25billion is needed to fully modernize America's recycling infrastructure.Another challenge is the different incentives of different players.Companies may demand more post-consumer material,but the supply relies on the desire of municipalities and consumers,and there's no real incentive to maximize recovery or material value.Residents see little benefit from dutiful sorting.Even green-minded folks will throw away asoda can if arecycling bin isn't readily available.Cities can boost recycling rates with higher landfill taxes or"pay-as-you-throw"plans,which charge households for the waste they create.But collecting and sorting this material is still acostly,complicated business,and the value of the goods does not always cover the cost of collection.
It is also hard to increase the quantity of recycled goods without compromising quality.Many cities now give residents bigger bins and demand less sorting,but the often-contaminated results are acostly headache for recycling companies.One recycling bin ended up holding asix-foot shark.
This is aparticularly tough time to tell businesses that using more recycled materials makes good economic sense.Falling oil prices have lowered the price of virgin plastic against the recycled stuff,which has upset manufacturers and hurt recycling companies.Without aprice on carbon,using recycled commodities does not necessarily help acompany's bottom line.People aren't going to pay more for recycled plastic just because it's recycled.
In nearly50countries,a policy called"extended producer responsibility"shifts the burden of waste disposal from taxpayers to companies.Such schemes are all over the place when it comes to costs and effectiveness,but they boost recycling rates and save cities money.Thirty-two states already force companies to handle discarded electronics,batteries,mobile phones and other products.Lawmakers in Rhode Island recently introduced abill that calls on companies to recycle at least80%of packaging by2020.If Walmart hopes to prove that voluntary measures will be enough to raise America's stagnant recycling rates,it will need to work quickly.
75.It can be concluded from the first paragraph that recycling in America.
A.is abooming industry
B.now leads the world
C.leaves much to be desired
D.has reduced the price of goods
76.Which of the following is NOT one of the difficulties facing recycling in America?
A.More recycled goods may come at the cost of quality.
B.Sorting the waste material is expensive and troublesome.
C.Some consumers are reluctant to contribute to recycling.
D.Walmart has been trying hard to discourage recycling.
77.A six-foot shark is mentioned in Paragraph3in order to.
A.highlight the size of the recycling bin
B.show that sharks can be easily recycled
C.stress that waste is thrown away at random
D.disclose the severe environmental pollution
78.Paragraph4is mainly concerned with.
A.the reason recycled commodities are not preferred
B.the advantages of using recycled stuff in daily life
C.differences between recycled plastic and virgin plastic
D.the consequence of making carbon priceless
79.The term"extended producer responsibility"involves manufactures.
A.assuming more responsibility for the quality of their products
B.being responsible for disposal of waste from their products
C.transporting their industrial waste to other countries
D.donating more money to the recycling of urban waste
80.This passage is intended to describe in the United States.
A.the importance of recycling
B.different ways of recycling
C.recycling and economic growth
D.difficulties in recycling

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution,the influence of the factory on the physical and mental state of the workers has received no attention at all.Modern industry is based on the conception of maximum productivity at the minimum cost.It has gradually expanded without any idea of the true nature of the human beings who run the machines,and without any consideration to the impacts produced on the individuals or on their children by the artificial mode of existence.Lack of space necessitates the construction of enormous apartment buildings where large masses of residents are crowded together.While civilized men enjoy such away of living,they do not realize that they have had some of their necessities of life taken away,including peace,ease and safety.
