阅读理解     Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless
about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some
aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils.
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other.
While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
     For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports-and it is especially difficult to do so if you
are not good at them-there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
     Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only
half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete
mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives
have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of
activity-physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other-which were the natural way of life of
our forefathers.1. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _____.A .causes of unfitness
B. bad features of living in towns
C. the things we can completely do away with
D. unavoidable things in town2.We don"t get much out of separate sports because we _____.A. don"t do them very often
B. don"t do them actively enough
C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs
D. don"t find them interesting3.To be healthy we must _____.A. keep fit and active
B. keep fit and learn to relax
C. be active and practise Yoga
D. have a sound mind4.Our forefathers were healthy because_____.A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C. they spent most of the time out of doors
D. their environment was not polluted

阅读理解。     One of today"s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti
aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering
a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks,
ranging from economical to highly priced.
     And the question is "do any of these often much-vaunted (被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams
actually work?" And if they do,how precisely do they perform their miracles?
Well the appropriate response to that is that they do work - after a fashion. There certainly are
anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles
in a comparatively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers:
they won"t actually undo skin damage or eradicate (根除) all signs of age；they will simply modify
them,some more effectively than others.
     The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper
layers absorb water,serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since
such anti aging creams only go skin deep,as it were,skin damage will reappear once you stop using
the anti aging wrinkle cream.
This means fairly heavy regular use,which might be costly depending on your choice of product.
However,if you can afford it or think it"s worth the cost,it won"t be such an issue. After all,what
woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women"s
self-esteem and sense of identity.
     A compromise (折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In
addition,it"s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits
our skin best.
     So,to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits,depending on your objective.
                   1.This passage mainly tells us something about __________.A. anti aging creams
B. anti aging foods
C. anti wrinkle face
D. anti wrinkle skin2.According to the author,we can infer __________.A. anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age
B. skin damage must not reappear after using creams
C. anti aging creams should be properly used
D. skin damage will disappear forever after using creams3.The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that __________.A. they remove upper layers of dead skin cells
B. they make deeper layers absorb water
C. they make layers look fuller and healthier.
D. they make wrinkle faces rough4.The meaning of the underlined phrase "on a tighter budget" is __________.A. having a larger amount of money
B. having a smaller amount of money
C. having no money at all
D. having a lot of money5.Fairly heavy regular use will make you __________.A. spend much money on your choice of product
B. easily afford your choice of product

完形填空。     When it comes to eating smart for your heart, thinking about short-term fixes and simplify your
life with a straightforward approach that will serve you well for years to come.
      Smart eating goes beyond analyzing every bite of food you lift 1 your mouth. "In the past we

says Linda Van Horn, chair of the American Heart Association"s Nutrition Committee. "But now we
have a    4    understanding of healthy eating and the kinds of food necessary to    5 not only heart
disease but disease   6   general," she adds.
       Scientists now    7 on the broader picture of the balance of food eaten   8    several days or a
week    9   than on the number of milligrams (毫克) of this or that    10  at each meal.
       Fruits, vegetables and whole grains, for example, provide nutrients and plant-based compounds
  11 for good health. "The more we learn, the more 12 we are by the wealth of essential substances
they 13 ," Van Horn continues, "and how they  14  with each other to keep us healthy."
       You"ll automatically be 15 the right heart-healthy track if vegetables, fruits and whole grains make
16 three quarters of the food on your dinner plate.  17    in the remaining one quarter with lean meat or
chicken, fish or eggs.

阅读理解。     A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is an economy
which has a smallest output of greenhouse gas (GHG) release into the atmosphere, but specifically
refers to the greenhouse gas CO2. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the
conclusion that there is such an accumulation of GHG (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to
human-related activities that the climate is changing. The over-concentration of these gases is producing
global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable
future. Globally performed LCEs therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate
change, and as a forerunner to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy.
    Some nations are low-carbon societies which are not heavily industrialized or populated. In order to
avoid climate change at any point in the future, all nations considered carbon-thick societies and societies
which are heavily populated, should become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these
countries have promised to become "low carbon" but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that release will
be cut by 100% by offsetting release rather than stopping all release. In other words, some release will
continue which will be offset, so they are not low-release.
     Nations seek to become low-carbon economies as part of a national global warming reduction
strategy. A comprehensive strategy to manage global warming is carbon neutrality , geoengineering
and adaptation to global warming .
     Nuclear power, or, the proposed strategies of carbon collection and storage (CCS) have been
proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources;
there is concern, however, with the matter of spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of
costs and time needed to successfully carry out CCS worldwide and with guarantees that the stored
release will notleak into the atmosphere. Alternatively, many have proposed  renewable energy should
be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this
is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times.
Furthermore, regardless of the effect to the atmosphere by GHG releases, the growing issue of peak
oil may also be reason enough for a change to a LCE. 1. Low-carbon economy is encouraged for the following reasons except that ______. A. too much greenhouse gas CO2 is released
B. the over-concentration of greenhouse gases is producing global warming
C. it can avoid catastrophic climate change
D. low carbon and zero carbon nations and societies claim for it2. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means ______. A. warning
B. pioneer
C. symbol
D. guide3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?   A. Nuclear power could act as one of the primary means to achieve a LCE.
B. There"s worry about spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of costs.
C. The stored release will be likely to leak into the atmosphere.
D. Renewable energy tends to become the only means to achieve a LCE.4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the writer"s attitude toward the proposal of adapting
renewable energy is ______.A. negative
B. positive
C. self-confident
D. doubtful

阅读理解     Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America.
Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution
by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
     One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car
factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been
slow.
     Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on
it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
     To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of
their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily. Many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car
factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of
unemployment.
     Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.

A growing number of health, hunger, and sustainable (可持续的) agriculture groups today announced plans for Food Day-a nationwide campaign to change the way Americans eat and think about food. Food Day will encourage people around the country to sponsor or participate in activities that encourage Americans to "eat real" and support healthy, affordable food grown in a sustainable, humane way. Organizers hope Food Day will inspire Americans to hold thousands of events in schools, college campuses, houses of worship and even in private homes aimed at fixing America"s food system. A Food Day event could be as small as a parent organizing a vegetable identification contest at a kindergarten class-or as massive as a rally (集会) in a city park, with entertainment and healthy food. Health departments, city councils and other policy makers could use Food Day to launch campaigns, hold hearings, or otherwise address communities food problems. The campaign will advocate progress toward five central goals: Reducing diet-related disease by promoting healthy foods. The American diet is too low in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and too high in fatty meat, soft drinks and salty packaged and restaurant foods-contributing to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year. Supporting sustainable farms and stopping subsidies to agribusiness. Billions of federal dollars a year would be better spent helping environmentally conscious family farmers than hugeagri business operations. Expanding access to food and alleviating hunger. Far too many Americans don"t know where their next meal is coming from, or have access to fresh produce in their neighborhood. Reforming factory farms to protect animals and the environment. Farming of animals can and should be done without cruelty, and without degrading the quality of life. Curbing junk-food marketing to kids. Food companies should not be targeting children with foods that promote tooth decay, obesity and other health problems.
1.What is the best title of the text?
A. Food Day Campaign B. Eat Real and Keep fit C. How to Observe Food Day D. Food Problems in the USA
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Food problems are not easy to deal with. B. Food Day events should be held in public places. C. Kindergarten kids are unable to identify vegetables. D. People are invited to create their own Food Day events.
3.One of the aims of Food Day is to ____.
A. target children with junk food B. operate more agribusiness C. increase access to food D. cancel a series of events
4.The underlined word "curbing" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to " ".
A. controlling B. enlarging C. evaluating D. providing
5.We can infer from the text that _____.
A. Food Day will not help preserve natural resources. B. Food Day can be an opportunity to solve food problems. C. Food Day has so far achieved all the central goals. D. there are different ideas and views about Food Day.
