10、ill decide between the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote, especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of
11、18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldnt vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.This is not only because young people dont like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth i
12、s that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older
13、age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes, they care about schools and the community.”Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they dont vote.Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they havent learned h
14、ow to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.21.

17、ave to do is ask. Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone. Just talk to Siri as you would talk to a person： “Do I need an umbrella? ”or “Any great burgers around here? ”or “Wheres the closest ATM? ” Siri not only understands what you say, it also knows what you mean. It figures out the right a
18、pps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too. Dualcore A5 chip. The most powerful iPhone ever. Two cores in the A5
19、 chip deliver up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics(图形处理能力). iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when youre launching apps, surfing the web, gaming, and doing just about everything. And no matter what youre doing, you can keep on doing it. Bec
20、ause the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life. FaceTime. Its even better for face-to-face talking.

25、etty boring compared with all the fun things you do while you are awake. But theres a lot going on in your mind and body while you are sleeping. Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and u
26、nderstand what you learned during the day. During sleep your temperature drops. Your heart rate slows. Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins. A chemical that controls growth (called a hormone) moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back energy and imp
27、roves your immune system. We know what happens while were asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are connected with machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities. Sleep is like a school day: its divided into different periods, or s
28、tages. When you are awake, your brain waves rapidly. As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings. As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life.
29、 Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert, and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep. REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your lids, as though you were wat
30、ching a movie. During other stages, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep youre still. Thats probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get close to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM
31、sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active. Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours sleep a night. 28. Sleep has many advantages except _. A. improving your mood B. making you strong C. practisin
32、g your eyes D. helping you study29.

You dont move while you are in REM sleep, dreaming. B. Hormone has something to do with your growth. C. The whole bra
34、in is active. D. The closer to morning, the more dreams you have.DBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding
35、 jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty t
36、han plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more
37、 honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be
38、able? An attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required. This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attracti
39、veness on political candidates She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would
40、 vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes. 32. The word underlined word “liability” most probably means _. A. advantage B. disadvantage C. misfortune D. trouble 33
41、. Bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _. A. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women B. turns out to be a disadvantage to menC. has as little effect on men as on women D. affects men and women alike 34. It can be inferred from the passage that peoples
42、views on beauty are often _. A. supportive B. practical C. old-fashioned D. one-sided 35. The author writes this passage to _.A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive C. state the importance of appearanceD. demand equal rights for women第二节（共 5
