As everybody knows, tourism plays an important part in the development of a country"s economy, the life
of the nation and international cooperation. Individually, it can enlarge our personal perspective and knowledge,
and make us feel good.
However, tourism can also lead to pollution and the destruction of places of interest, which is difficult to
avoid.
Fortunately, "Green Tourism" is now being promoted and developed all over the world. As time goes by,
people will begin to realize the importance of these places of interest. "Green Tourism" teaches people to love
nature more and to consciously protect it by enjoying its beautiful scenery and learning more about it. "Green
Tourism" is the best kind of tourism as its purpose is to appreciate and research natural environments including
wild plants and animals, and of course the cultures of many places.
Compared with traditional tourism, the main characteristic (特色) of "Green Tourism" is learning more
about nature and people. Traditionally, people travel the world to amuse themselves and pass time pleasantly.
But "Green Tourists" are different. They travel because they are attracted by the characteristics of protected
areas. They want to make good use of natural resources but not use them up. For example, they research the
wildlife, the culture and the customs or a place so that they can learn more about the history and value of the
area.
In short, "Green Tourism" has a purpose and a plan, but not to pollute or destroy our places of interest. |

Feeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he can"t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a
hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong.
Then consider this, you might be in a state of sub-health (亚健康).
Sub-health, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as an indefinite (不确定的) state between
health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-
health people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management
position as well as students around exams.
Symptoms (症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reaction, insomnia, worries and poor memory.
Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching on the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good
living habits, alternate (交替) work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and
fish, because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins and tiny elements-those are important to the body.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful
as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed.
They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often
new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad
effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which
showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes
produced information that governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes
of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however,
the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments that protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for
example, there is a department that tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also
makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that
companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that
are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments
and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places
are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars that we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking
more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products. |
| 1. It can be inferred from the passage that in the past ____. |
A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions
B. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to
C. many people were killed by dangerous products
D. industries were as careful in management as they are today |
| 2. As can be seen in the passage ____. |
A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products
B. scientists also helped improve the safety and health of workers and customers
C. government officials often did not listen to scientists
D. governments paid no attention to the safety of products at all |
| 3. From the passage, we know that some years ago safety rules ____. |
A. were put forward due to scientists" recommendations
B. came into being as a result of the workers" demands
C. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injured
D. were effective enough to protect workers and customers |
| 4. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by ____. |
A. testing new products
B. designing new products
C. controlling the sale of products
D. inspecting work places |

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? |

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 |

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. |
