阅读理解。     People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong
foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day.
Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin
or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔)each day.
     Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work
     The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will
detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day.
That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends
can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
     Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
     Many people in today"s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store.
Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever
before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
     Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to
control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and
exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.1. What is the main reason why people are overweight according to the author?A. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.
B. They eat food with lots of calories.
C. They don"t take any weight loss pills.
D. They burn many calories every day.2. The article is written in order to _______.A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food
B. tell readers how to lose weight
C. tell readers about an important scientific discovery
D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy 3. To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.
a. do exercise every day       b. eat meals at the right time
c. eat fruits and vegetables     d. eat low-fat or sweet food
e. eat the proper foods at each mealA. a, b, c, d
B. a, b, d, e
C. a, c, d, e
D. a, b, c, e

     Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of
killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
     Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists
of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and
women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
     People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and
white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive,
so most hunters are wealthy.
     It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of
decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen
sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between
hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs
interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox"s smell, which the dogs follow.
     Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much
bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get
Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law
is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.1. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes                 .A. for recreation(娱乐)
B. in the interests of the farmers
C. to limit the fox population
D. to show off their wealth2. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.
B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.
C. The hunters have set rules to follow.
D. The hunters have to go through strict training.3. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
B. forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
D. prevent large-scale fox hunting4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. killing foxes with poison is illegal
B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich

阅读理解。     Global warming is the process of earth"s atmosphere heating up. Over the last 100 years, the average
temperature of earth"s atmosphere has gone up 1 Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly the
same way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature is already
affecting the earth"s climate.
     Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more
trash, and polluting the environment which are some of the reasons why the temperature has gone up.
Many scientists believe that the biggest causes of global warming are new human technologies that
release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
     The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide
and methane, making it hard for heat energy to go into space. In the past, the climate didn"t change much
because nature produced just the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it.
     Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising temperature can"t be blamed on nature. Ever since
the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for daily life. And many of those
machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gases from human
activities is throwing nature off balance.
     The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric
temperature has already damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe. As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water
to the oceans and causing the sea level to rise.
     Over the past 100 years, the sea level has risen 6-8 inches around the world. That means land along
the coasts is beginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other
weather problems caused by pollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others
have had bigger storms and a few areas in the world have experienced unusual droughts.1. What is mainly talked about in this passage?A. The melting of glaciers.
B. Global warming.
C. The world"s weather.
D. The earth"s temperature. 2. What causes global warming according to scientists?A. Human activities.
B. The nature itself.
C. The earth"s atmosphere.
D. New discoveries3. From the passage we can see that global warming will bring about _____. A. the pollution in the atmosphere
B. natural disasters
C. population pollution
D. the rise of glaciers

阅读理解。     Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you
own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying "An apple a

阅读理解。     Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted
(迅速出现) in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of
adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million-about 7
percent-are obese.
     Experts say the obesity epidemic (流行病) is spreading to children, though more slowly
than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China"s citizens
and economy. "We"re seeing a very large proportion of children and adolescents who are
quite heavy and aren"t moving much," said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin
carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says
more kids today are overeating and putting on weight "quite quickly." In just ten years China"s
childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban areas. "In big cities
it"s a big problem."
     Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China"s rapidly
changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in
calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. In addition,
kids-especially city children-are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front
of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.
     Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they
spend a part of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer (同龄人) groups influence
kids" food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.
China"s childhood obesity rate are still less than that of the United States, where some 15 percent
of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.1. According to the passage we know______________.                     .A. weight-loss camps have been very popular in China a few years ago.
B. about 290 million Chinese are overweight in China in all
C. in China childhood obesity rate in rural areas is lower than that in major cities
D. America"s childhood obesity rate is lower than China"s2. Which of the following is NOT the reason of China"s childhood obesity?A. Advertising on some new candies
B. High quality diets
C. Playing computer games for long time
D. Having pocket money3. The underlined word "sedentary" in the third paragraph probably means_____________.A. attentive
B. unmoved
C. absent
D. inactive4. According to the passage we can infer________________.A. obesity explosion in China will affect the United States
B. there are great difference in kids" food choices now
C. junk food contributes to childhood obesity
D. city children eat more than rural children5. What"s the best title for the passage?A. Chinese Childhood Obesity Explosion

阅读理解。     Why does the rate of heart attacks increase during the World Cup football finals? How can
we help an overweight patient to lose weight? They"re just some of the topics covered in a new
book by University of Sussex academics, which is helping student doctors to consider the
importance of psychology in medical practice.
     Psychology for Medicine is the first textbook of its kind, providing medical trainees and new
doctors with all the relevant psychological knowledge they need. Previously, students had to
refer to many different books for the relevant psychology.
     The book, by Sussex psychologists Dr. Sussex Ayers and Dr. Richard de Visser, has been well
received by fellow academics and medical doctors and was finished with the help of the students
and staff of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. The students proofread(校对) the chapters,
provided ideas for the content and even modeled for the photographs. The book provides a solid
grounding in psychological study relevant to medicine, along with practical tips and advice for
practice. One student, Simon Hall, drew cartoons for the book.
     The study psychology is important for doctors for a number of reasons. Psychological and
physical symptoms are highly related. Up to a third of patients will have psychological disorders,
while physical causes are usually only found in around 15 per cent of people"s symptoms. In
treatment, a lot of the effect drugs can be due to patients believing they will recover rather than
the drug itself.
     Dr. Ayers says, "The important thing about this book is that it"s applied science --- it shows
why psychology is important to medicine and how we should use it. The book"s presentation is
really important. It"s not just lots of theory, but full of tips and advice so that students can take
what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations."1. The book Psychology for Medicine is mainly written for _______.A. scientists
