为多余选项。 1. _____
     With the development of society, unwanted sound is the most widespread nuisance (厌恶的事) in America.
But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people"s health. Day and night,
at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one escapes
being affected by this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closes
and the body still responds-sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night.
2. _____
     The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building
up inside us. Indeed, because irritability (易怒) is so obvious, legislators (立法人员) have made public
annoyance the basis of many noise limit programs. But the more unnoticeable and more serious health hazards
(harm and danger) associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention.
3. _____
     Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair
warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health. Of many
health hazards to noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The
other hazards are harder to pin down (说清). For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of
noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as
a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health
persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body.
4. _____
     Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when
mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed
to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest.
5. _____
     Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and
many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to
dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of
hearing loss as only an occupational hazard. A. Noise affects us from birth even embryo (胚胎) to death.
B. Less attention to more unnoticeable and serious hazards in spite of the most common annoyance caused by
    noise.
C. The reasons for there being no greater alarm about these dangers.
D. Noise is more a real and present danger than a nuisance to people"s health.
E. How much do we know about annoyance caused by noise?
F. How much do we know about the possible hazards to people"s health caused by noise?

阅读理解。     Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet"
everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet
products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for
products that harm us psychologically and physically (身体上).
     Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain
to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption
of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go
straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word"diet" in food
labels.
     On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don"t have to work to get results. Diet
products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and
struggle.
     The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the
physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead
of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these
wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are
potentially dangerous.
     Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this,
we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes
from using them. 1. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____. A. diet products fail to bring out people"s potential
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products 2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____. A. try out a variety of diet foods
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet 3. In Paragraph 4, "gain comes without pain" probably means _____. A. losing weight is effortless
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories 4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _____. A. are over-consumed
B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy

阅读理解。     About 97% of the world"s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can"t drink
seawater, how can it be important?
     Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different
ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food.
These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon
dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe.
How important seawater is!
    Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in
large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains
are delicately balanced.
     The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People
once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn"t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught
huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans
have started to drop.
    Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international
agreements to protect marine habitats (海域). Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions (限制)
to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution. Finally,
the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a
long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important
part of the human diet. How important seawater is! 1. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain? A. small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals man
B. algae→microscopic animals→large animals→larger animals→man
C. small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→man
D. microscopic animals→algae→large animals→larger animals→man 2. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ____. A. wouldn"t harm the fish in the sea
B. would change the balance of the food chain
C. would be broken down in the sea
D. wouldn"t do much harm to the sea 3. From the passage, we learn that ____. A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C. too much fishing has caused the decrease in fish stocks
D. it won"t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved 4. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans? A. The use of international agreements.
B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C. The use of new techniques.
D. Raising people"s awareness of the need to protect oceans. 5. What would be the best title of the passage? A. The importance of seawater.
B. Life in the oceans.
C. How to protect food chains.
D. How to deal with seawater pollution.

阅读理解。     Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people
lack basic sanitation.
    The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between
2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe
drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and
women, and poverty.
     Consider these facts:
     The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.
     Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children
in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.
     Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.
    Here are three ways you can help:
     (1) Write Congress
    Current U. S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American
citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.
     (2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organization
     Many U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations
abroad. Simply putting a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of
people.
     (3) Support nonprofit water organizations
     Numerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water
and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows, some organizations are large, other small-scale,
some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them
generously. 1. The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate that ____. A. poverty can result in water-borne diseases
B. people have no access to clean drinking water
C. women"s rights are denied in some developing countries
D. safe drinking water should be a primary concern 2. The intended readers of the passage are ____. A. Americans
B. overseas sponsors
C. congressmen
D. U.S.-based water organizations 3. The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to ____. A. get rid of water-related diseases in developing countries
B. donate money to people short of water through religious groups
C. fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problem
D. take joint action in support of some non-profit water organizations 4. What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph? A. A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.
B. A list of non-profit water organizations to make contact with.
C. Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.
D. A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息（不多于五个单词），
完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。      Human activities have great effect on the environment. Everyone can make small life changes toward
a low-carbon (低碳) life. Such changes can not only make a difference for the environment, but also have
great health benefits for you.
     ● Burn less gas. Try walking or bicycling to work a few times a week and get a healthy exercise on the
way. Encourage children to walk to school. Cutting down on driving and using your own two legs helps
cut global warming pollution and helps deal with weight problems over time.
     ● Eat more thoughtfully. Eat less meat and more grains and vegetables, which helps reduce the need to
change forests or grasslands to pasturelands (牧场). Replace one or more of your weekly meals with a
meatless meal.
     ● Drink tap water rather than buy bottled water. Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic
waste per year. Bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap water, and tap water is cheaper.
     ● Reduce the use of paper. Think twice before you print. If you must print, try printing on both sides.
     ● Reduce the amount of water you use in your home. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and
turn off the shower after soaping up. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a basin of water instead of running
water from the tap.
     ● Use energy-saving lamps to save money, use less energy and create less pollution. These lamps are easily
available and have various styles and brands. 回答下面问题，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息（不多于五个单词）。
1. How can we eat more thoughtfully?
    __________________________________________________________________________
2. If we have to print something, what should we do?
    __________________________________________________________________________
3. What is the passage mainly about?
    __________________________________________________________________________
