"Overweight people will have a great time on our holidays as we don"t judge them like oth
er people do，" said Liz Nickels，the owner of Big Adventures，a US-based company that hosts scuba-diving—a sport of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connected to a tank on your back for larger people. As a way to keep up with the demand for extralarge accommodation，many hotels in the US have started to offer features such as wide beds and hand-held showers. But the best in plus-size vacation lies at Mexico"s Freedom Paradise，a 112-room resort(度假胜地) opening this month，which urges guests to" Live Large，Live Free" . The hotel has wide doorways，reinforced furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public beaches. "It"s not a hotel just for large people. It"s a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday，" said owner J urrian Kilnk，"What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don"t feel comfortable at resorts. "Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.
Though many welcome the new service，some feel differently. "I have a real problem with this，"said Nancy Lenhart，the owner of Camp La Jolia，a Californian weight-loss and fitness camp.
"If you talk about oversized beds and doorways you are throwing their weight in their faces. Overweight people want to be normalized. They shouldn"t be discriminated against

th restaurants and places that wash clothes. People did not realize that the Chinese had been driven into these occupations by the prejudice and discrimination that faced them in this country. The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there，they had come to search for gold. In that largely unoccupied land， the men st
aked a claim (立界标表明所有权) for themselves by placing makers’ in the ground. However，either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in getting a mining claim to make a profit ( where others saw no way to do so) ,they became the target".Of their competitors. They were troubled and attacked in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some places even passed regulations forbidding them to own claims. The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to wash clothes for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. (There were almost no women in California in those days and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this" women"s work". ) Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen. In the early 1860"s many more Chinese arrived in California. This time railroad companies brought the men in to build the first railroad line from California to the East. They were sorely needed because the work was so hard and dangerous，and it was carried on in such an isolated part of the country that the railroad company could not find other laborers for the job. As in the case of the first Chinese in America， these Chinese were almost all males; and like them，too，they encountered a great deal of prejudice. The hostility grew especially strong after the railroad project was completed，and the Chinese laborers returned to California—thousands of them，all out of work
Many of today"s Chinese Americans are the descendants of some of the early miners and railroad workers.

Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a
century，the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968，with the beginning of the National Science Foundation"s Deep Sea Drilling Project ( DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry，the DSDP"s drill ship，the Glomar Challenger，was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean"s surface and drill in very deep
waters，taking samples of rock from the ocean floor. The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year-research program that ende
d in November 1983. During this time，it sailed 600，000 kilometers and took almost 20，000samples of rocks around the world. Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what
it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today，largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger"s voyages，nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics (构造学) and continental drift that explains many of the geological processes. The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years. The information of
past climatic changes can be used to predict future climates. 小题1:The underlined word" inaccessible" in Line 3 means .
| A．unrecognizable | B．unreachable | C．unusable | D．unreasonable |
| A．The Earth"s climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space. |
| B．It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans. |
| C．Rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor. |
| D．Techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration. |
| A．It is a type of submarine. | B．It is an ongoing project. |
| C．It has gone on over 100 voyages. | D．It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968. |
| A．an attempt to find new sources of oil and gas |
| B．the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom |
| C．made up of geologists from all over the world |
| D．supported entirely by the gas and oil industry |
| A．Geologists were able to determine the Earth"s appearance millions of years ago. |
| B．Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists. |
| C．Geologists observed forms of life never before seen. |
| D．Information was revealed about the Earth"s past climatic changes. |

Fire can 36 many things. It is dangerous to everyone, but it is 37 useful. We cannot live without 38.In other words, fire is both the 39 and enemy of us. This 40 on whether we use it wisely or not.
To the people 41 live in the forest area, fire is particularly dangerous. It is the location 42 most of their houses are made of wood, which 43 catches fire. Especially in winter the air is 44 and the wind is often 45 .If one of these houses is on fire, the wind will 46 the fire to the neighboring houses quickly, and the fire will soon 47 all over the area. If this happens 48 , it may not be too bad. 49 if it happens at night, the situation will be very bad, for most people are 50 ,and many of them can
not run away in time. If they can, they will just 51 all the things behind. Some people even do not know 52 is going on, and they 53 in their dreams. We should do our best to 54 the breakout of fire, which is mostly caused by people’s carelessness. Therefore, not only the people of the 55 areas but everyone else should be very careful in using fire.

The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There’s no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one tim
e must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration(实证) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at the theory through mathematics. The accuracy(正确性) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein’s
ideas were proved to be correct. A scientist uses
many to
ols for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations(计算) that may test his investigations小题1: What makes a scientist according to the passage?
| A．The tools he uses. | B．His ways of learning |
| C．The way he uses his tools | D．The various tools he uses |
The writer says this to show ___________.
| A．the importance of information |
| B．the difference between scientists and ordinary people. |
| C．the importance of thinking |
| D．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people |
| A．works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times |
| B．doesn’t allow any change even under different conditions |
| C．Can be used many times under different conditions |
| D．Can be used for many purposes |
| A．Scientists are different from ordinary people. |
| B．The Theory of Relativity. |
| C．Exactness is the core (核心) of science. |
| D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist. |
In countries like the United States where meat is not as expensive, though, people choose to be vegetarians for reasons other than cost. Parental preferences(父母亲的偏爱), religious or other beliefs, and health problems are among the most common reasons for choosing to be a vegetarian. Many people choose a vegetarian diet out of concern over animal rights or the environment. And lots of people have more than one reason for choosing vegetarianism.
Different people follow different forms of vegetarianism. A true vegetarian eats no meat at all, including chicken and fish. A lactoovo(乳制品) vegetarian eats dairy products and eggs, but keeps out meat, fish, and chicken. It follows, then, that a lacto(乳，乳汁) vegetarian eats dairy products but not eggs, and an ovo （蛋，鸡蛋） vegetarian eats eggs but not dairy products.
A stricter form of vegetarianism is veganism. Not only are eggs and dairy products excluded (排除) from a vegan diet, so are animal products like honey. Some macrobiotic (养生的) diets fall into the vegan category. Macrobiotic diets limit not only animal products but also refined（经过提炼的） and processed foods, foods with preservatives, and foods that contain caffeine or other stimulants (刺激物).
Following a macrobiotic or vegan diet could lead to nutritional deficiencies (营养不足)
in some people. Teens need to be sure their diets include enough nutrients to fuel growth, particularly protein and calcium (钙). If you’re interested in following a vegan or macrobiotic diet it’s a good idea to talk to a registered dietitian（营养学家）. He or she can help you design meal plans that include enough nutrients. 小题1:The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means ______.
| A．there is usually a note beside the meat in a meal |
| B．meat often attracts people’s attention in a meal |
| C．meat is served only a small amount in a meal |
| D．meat should play an important part in a meal |
| A．They are environmentally friendly. |
| B．They are concerned about the rights of animals. |
| C．They worry about their own health. |
| D．They can’t afford to buy meat. |
| A．neither animal products nor diary products |
| B．diary products but no eggs |
| C．animal products like honey |
| D．processed food |
| A．all the people should become vegetarians |
| B．teens should be careful to be vegetarians |
| C．vegetarianism is not a good thing for the world |
D．vegetarianism can m ake a country develop faster |
