阅读理解。     If you"re a male and you"re reading this, congratulations! You"re a survivor. According to statistics, you"re
more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.
Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you"ll die on average
five years before a woman.
     There"re many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and
smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don"t go to the doctor.
     "Men aren"t seeing doctors as often as they should," says Dr. Gullotta. "This is particularly so for the over-
40s, when diseases tend to strike. According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early
40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
     "A lot of men think they"re unbeatable," Gullotta says. "They only come in when a friend drops dead on the
golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him …"
     Then there"s the ostrich (鸵鸟) approach. "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather
not know," says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
     "Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says. He believes
most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. 
      "Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the final cost is far greater,
it"s called premature death." 1. Why does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage? A. They have lived long enough to read this article.
B. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.
C. They can live longer than they expected.
D. They are more likely to survive serious diseases now. 2. Why does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage? A. They have lived long enough to read this article.

    (in Para 4)?A. I should consider myself lucky.
B. it would be a big misfortune.
C. I should avoid playing golf.

阅读理解。     The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs "fuel" (燃料) to supply it with energy.
This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
     The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise
the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃. The number of calories people need per day is different. Also, the
number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in.For example, you
need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.
     The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate (碳水化合物), protein
(蛋白质) and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food
contains different amount of these materials, as the round pictures show. 
                                       1. The amount of calories supplied by equal amounts of milk, rice, and peanuts is the largest in the case of
    _____. A. milk
B. rice

C. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex and the activities they are in.
D. 3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm and
     fat 8.8 Cal/gm. 3. This article mainly tells us _____. A. all the energy is in food
B. the human body needs energy

阅读理解。     Car sharing is another way to drive green that"s gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas. People who
may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most from car
sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的) and
informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they
need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and
then go to the pickup spot.
     Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members
don"t drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don"t need a car, they don"t use one. Still,
a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or
if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the
headaches of ownership. They usually don"t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the
monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren"t ready to
totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
     If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus! 1. The author intends to tell us that car sharing ______. A. has become the most popular way to go to work
B. has become the best way to cut living costs
C. is becoming more and more popular in cities
D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的) areas 2. We can conclude from the passage that ______. A. Zipcar can"t help you if you are running urgent errands
B. Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit
C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment
D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free 3. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______. A. why people will share a car
B. why car sharing benefits the environment
C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D. why a car is available to members 4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Car sharing has become a new trend (趋势).
B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.

阅读理解。     The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early
in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.
     The Morning Challenge campaign, made public by the Environment Ministry, is based on the premise (前提)
that exchanging late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation"s
carbon footprint.
     A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up
one hour earlier, according to the campaign.
     The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early was the
equivalent of 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights, "Many Japanese people waste electric
power at night time, for example by watching TV until very late," a ministry spokesperson told The Daily
Telegraph.
     "But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon
dioxide emissions. If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emissions." The campaign
also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in
general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.
     It is the latest measure dealing with climate change by the Japanese Environment Ministry, which is faced
with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 per cent from 1990 levels within the next
decade.
      It was the same government department that started the high profile (姿态) Cool Biz campaign five years
ago, which encourages workers to wear short-sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air con lower than 28
degrees during the summer. 1. What does Morning Challenge claim is the purpose of its campaign? A. To promote a healthier lifestyle.
B. To encourage people to watch less TV.
C. To reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.
D. To show the sense of responsibility of the Japanese government. 2. The Japanese government has to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the next ten years by _____ on
the 1990 levels. A. 20%
B. 25%
C. 85%
D. 28% 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A. The Japanese government is the first government to deal with the environmental problem.
B. Carbon dioxide emissions are more serious in Japan than in any other country.
C. The Japanese Environment Ministry is responsible for climate change.
D. The purpose of Cool Biz campaign is similar to that of the Morning Challenge.
