    Looking for a new weight loss plan? Try living on top of a mountain. Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes, so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy. A handful of studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl of the University Hospital Of Ludwig-Maximilians-university Munich wondered how the mountain air would affect overweight individuals if they weren’t doing any more physical activity than usual.
    Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 overweight men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze, a mountain around 2,970 meters near the Austrian border. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones linked to appetite and fatness. At the end of the week, the men, whose mean weight starting out was 105kg, had lost on average about l.5kg. The men’s blood pressure also dropped, which the researchers believed was due to weight lost.
    Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes, and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual—about 700 calories fewer per day. Lippl also notes that because their consumption was being recorded, they may have been more self-conscious about what they ate. Regardless, eating less accounts for just l kg of the l.5 kg lost, says Lippl. He thinks the increased metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate, which was measured, also contributed to weight loss but cannot separate the different effects with the given data.
    Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key, notes Damian Bailey, a physiologist at the University of Glamorgan, UK, who recently lost 11 kg during a 3-month expedition to the Andes in Chile.   
    Unfortunately, for the average person there is no treatment that can resemble living at high altitude, says Lippl. The only alternative is hypobaric chamber, which exposes subjects to low oxygen and isn’t practical as a treatment. He says, half- jokingly, “If fat people plan their holidays, they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountain.”
    小题1:What contributes the most to one’s heart rates according to the first paragraph?
    A．our bodyweightB．the consumption of energy
    C．the rates of our breathingD．the amount of oxygen provided
    小题2:Hormones are tested in the research because they can affect ______.
    A．one’s bodyweightB．one’s blood pressure
    C．one’s way of livingD．one’s metabolic rate
    小题3:What was found about the 20 overweight men in the process of the research?
    A．They controlled what to eat self-consciously.
    B．They took in much fewer calories than usual.
    C．They lost appetite because of lack of physical activity.
    D．They were provided with a healthier diet than before.
    小题4:Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes?
    A．He experimented with the new weight loss plan in the Andes.
    B．He found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes.
    C．He researched the related subject in the Andes.
    D．He lost much weight in the high altitude Andes.
    小题5:In what manner does Lippl talk about the way of losing weight by spending holidays on mountains?
    A．casualB．inaccurateC．uncertainD．confident

    Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(头盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike. Is this advice really helpful?
    Consider this for a moment: Wearing a helmet will absolutely do nothing to prevent you from getting hit by a car. Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit. Plenty of cyclists were killed by cars__________. However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today. So they saying that wearing a helmet is the first and last word in bike safety is, to some degree(在一定程度上), wrong.
    The most common bike safety advice is “follow the law”. Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads. As a result, it’s clear that the “follow the law” advice isn’t that helpful, either. In addition, following the law is not enough to keep you safe. Here’s an example: The law tells you to ride on the right, but if you ride too far to the right, someone started a parked car could open their door right in front of you and motorists pulling out of driveways and parking lots will be less visible. In that case you were following the law, but could still have been hit.
    Then what should we remember in order to keep safe when riding a bike? I will tell you about it in the following paragraph.
    小题1:What does the author say about wearing a helmet in the second paragraph?(within 8 words)
    _________________________________________________________________________________________
    小题2:Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
    However, nearly everyone knows that riding through hared traffic light is dangerous.
    _________________________________________________________________________________________
    小题3:Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within 5 words)
    _________________________________________________________________________________________
    小题4: List the two regular bike safety guides.(within 8words)
    _______________________________________②_______________________________________

    Scholarship Application Tips in 2013 for college students
    ·Before you apply
    1. Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive(力求)to do your best.
    2. Get involved, and stay involved, in extracurricular(课外的)activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras－these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.
    3. Begin your scholarship research early－by your sophomore(大学二年级)or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.
    4. Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible(符合条件的)for－several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.
    ·During the application process
    1. Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.
    2. Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t got off topic.
    3. If there is a financial component to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.
    4. Take your time. Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.
    5. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get clogged(阻塞的)with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.
    6. If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.
    7. Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details.
    Good luck to the students applying for the 2013 scholarship programs!
    小题1:Before you apply for a scholarship, it’s best to       .

    We can express our feelings and needs by using body language. Cats can do that too. The ways that cats use their tails to show their feelings and needs are interesting.
    Unlike dogs, which generally wave their tails to express good feelings, cats use their tails to send a lot of signals. When a cat waves its tail strongly from side to side, it may be a sign for us to leave it alone, or we may get scrathed (抓伤). Throwing a little toy for the cat to play with can get it relaxed. When a cat holds its tail upwards with a slight move, it means the animal is very happy to see its owner.
    We all like to cuddle (依偎) inside our bed, and cats do that thing, too. Much as little children like to wrap (用……缠绕) their arms around their Teddy Bears, cats like to wrap their own tails around their bodies to get a sense of safety while asleep. If we notice a cat sleeping in such a position, we should not break its peace.
    Usually the tip of the cat’s tail doesn’t draw our attention. But its particular position may also show the cat’s feelings. For example, a cat holding the tip of its tail pointed downwards may try to say that it is not feeling comfortable. So at this point, the cat not only feels angry, but also unsafe. This may again be a sign for us not to upset the cat in any way.
    In conclusion, cats use their tails in many different, sometimes funny ways to send us messages, and we can learn to know more.
    小题1:According to the text, in which way are cats different from dogs?
    A．Cats draw more attention from humans than dogs.
    B．Cats are friendlier to humans than dogs.
    C．Cats have more feelings than dogs.
    D．Cats show more feelings with tails than dogs.
    小题2:When a cat waves its tail strongly from side to side, it probably feels    .
    A．safeB．sleepyC．anxiousD．hungry
    小题3:A cat wraps its tail around its body when sleeping to      .
    A．get its tail well relaxedB．get a sense of safety
    C．show friendship to its ownerD．warn strangers to keep off
    小题4:What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
    A．A cat can use its tail tip to show its feelings.
    B．We should pay attention to the tip of a cat’s tail.
    C．Why a cat holds the tip of its tail pointed downwards
    D．A cat has many ways to express its feelings

    International experts meeting in Australia say global carbon emissions (排放) can be reduced by more than 50 percent through simple energy saving measures. People at a conference in Australia, which increasingly relies on coal for power, say that reducing power consumption is an affordable way to both cut energy costs and reduce pollution.
    While many nations turn to cheap and dirty energy sources, such as coal, to meet their increasing energy needs, analysts in Australia say the best way to meet those needs is to improve energy efficiency.
    A range of simple solutions include using energy-efficient homes, household appliances and lighting, and driving electric cars. Encouraging homeowners and office workers to switch off their televisions and computers at the end of the day is also seen as an effective way to save electricity.
    Grayson Heffner, from the Paris-based International Energy Agency, says reducing consumption could greatly cut global carbon emissions. He calls efficiency strategies (策略) the “soft giant” of clean energy.
    “We forecast that energy efficiency will deliver something like three-quarters of the greenhouse gas emissions reductions over the next 20 years. So in the short term energy efficiency is the main way that we reduce greenhouse gas emissions but oftentimes it is not so importantly stressed in the discussions,” said Heffner.
    Energy experts working in China say the government is making significant cuts in power usage.
    Wan Xingwang, a Beijing-based representative of the Energy Foundation, a U.S. non-government organization, says the results have been impressive.
    “In the past five years China achieved about 19.1 percent of energy reduction of its GDP. That translates to something like more than 600 million tons of coal savings,” said Wan Xingwang.
    While most nations have some sort of government-sponsored energy efficiency programs, energy analysts say initiatives (主动性) by individuals and companies can also help cut demand.
    Steven Nadel, executive director of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, a non-profit group based in Washington, says other developing nations are recognizing the benefits of cutting power consumption and taking action.
    小题1:To increase their energy supplies, many nations _____________________.
    A．turn to new energyB．turn to cheap energy
    C．develop solar energyD．introduce clean energy
    小题2:Which of the following cannot help to reduce energy consumption effectively?
    A．Using electronic products in small size.
    B．Using more electric cars.
    C．Turning off computers after work.
    D．Building energy-efficient houses.
    小题3:What can we learn from what Grayson Heffner said?
    A．75% of the greenhouse gas emissions can easily be cut in the next 20 years.
    B．Ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should be discussed.
    C．Using clean energy is the strategy to cut global carbon emissions.
    D．The key to reducing greenhouse gases in the short term is to improve energy efficiency.
    小题4:According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following statements is true?
    A．The programs reducing energy consumption shouldn’t be sponsored by individuals and companies.
    B．All nations have government-sponsored energy efficiency programs.
    C．It is time that all nations should combine their efforts to save energy.
    D．Some developing nations are taking action to cut power consumption.

    We use an average of 158 liters of water a day in Britain, for which we pay a bargain price of 28p a liter, but much of this is just cash down the drain, according to water companies.
    Most are campaigning to cut the amount we use. And the frontline weapon in their campaign is the water meter (计量器). They want us all to have one and one company is seeking powers to make this compulsory.
    The Government is anxious for us to use less water, too. Elliot Morley, the Environment Minister, says he is impressed by the savings when a meter is installed. In most homes, consumption drops by 20 percent.
    He also thinks consumers get a good deal from meters. He said, “Most people would find that they would either be exactly the same or better off with water meters and it is a fairer way of paying for water.”
    At present, only 25% of households have meters and most of those are in East Anglia. They are installed by water companies, and households then have about ￡43 added to each bill to cover the cost of installing and reading the meter.
    Barrie Clarke, a spokesman for Water UK, said, “We want everyone to be more water wise—to think about the amount of water they use. But with our climate change and different weather patterns, over time it will make economic and environmental sense to think how we use water. This may mean meters.”
    Mr. Clarke believes the easiest way to save water is to use less in the garden. In one hour, a sprinkler uses the same amount of water as the average family of four uses in a day—about 632 liters. He said that gardeners should water in the evening so that it dose not evaporate in the heat of the day and that every household should have a water butt to collect rainwater for use in the garden.
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT the advantage of installing water meters?
    A．Water consumption drops.
    B．It’s fairer to pay for water.
    C．They’re installed for free.
    D．People are more water wise.
    小题2:The passage implies that ________.
    A．water meters are welcome by British people
    B．people will be better off with water meters
    C．everyone has become wiser to use water now
    D．saving water is both good to economy and environment
    小题3:How many liters of water does an average family of four use in a day after installing a meter in Britain?
    A．about 126 litersB．about 158 liters
    C．about 506 litersD．about 632 liters
    小题4:The underlined word “evaporate” in the last paragraph means _________.
    A．change into steam and disappears
    B．absorb the heat of the day
    C．sink into the soil
    D．turn into ice
    小题5:According to Mr. Clarke, some good ways to save water are as follows EXCEPT ________.
    A．using less on the garden
    B．using a sprinkler
    C．watering in the evening
    D．gathering rainfall for garden use
