4.An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013.The law,approved last March in Israel,requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show.That means a woman who is 5'8"tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,"said physician Adatto."Underweight models,"he explained,"can no longer serve as rold models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny."
But some critics in this country say it is misguided,focusing on weight instead of health.They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry."I think it's an approach that isn't going to work."Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice,who worked with an organization wich creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized.He said."I realized that only legislation can change the situation.There was no time to waste,so many girls were dieting to death."
However,the efforts to regulate models's weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health."
?Still,folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with."Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,"she says."It's a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal."
61.What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?A
A.A measure of body health based on height and weight.
B.A worldwide prize for the healthies model.
C.A new show held by those skinny models.
D.A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.
62.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring isC.
A.to change the working conditions of models
B.to lower the chance of skinny models's death
C.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
D.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
63.In the opinion of the critics,the law won't succeed becauseB.
A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B.the fashion industry is much too influential
C.it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well
D.it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models
64.What cause Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?D
A.Establishing his fashion-model agent.
B.Metting an ambitious but too skinny model.
C.Being interviewed by a reporter.
D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
65.According to the passage,the new Israeli law banning skinny models isD.
A.practical      B.acceptable     C.reasonable     D.controversial.

11.The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives-almost entirely for the better.But there's a byproduct to that growth,one that's evident-or sometimes less than evident-in the smoggy,smelly skies above cities like Beijing,New Delhi and Jakarta.Thanks to new cars and power plants,air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world,and it's taking a major toll (伤亡人数,代价) on global health.
How big?According to a new analysis published in the Lancet,more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010,the largest number on record.That's up from 800,000 in 2000.And it's a regional problem:65% of those deaths occurred in Asia,where the air is choked by diesel soot (内燃发动机烟雾) from cars and trucks,as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction.In East Asia and China,1.2 million people died,as well as another 712,000 in South Asia,including India.For the first time ever,air pollution is on the world's top-10 list of killers,and it's moving up the ranks faster than any other factor.
So how can air pollution be so damaging?It is the very finest soot-so small that it roots deep within the lungs and from the enters the bloodstream-that contributes to most of the public-health toll of air pollution including death.Diesel soot,which can also cause cancer,is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas.It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers.Fro example,1 in 6 people in the U.S.live near a diesel-pollution hot spot like a rail yard,port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases.Fortunately in the U.S.and other developed nations,urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago,thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters (催化式排气净化器) that reduce automobile emissions.Govemments are also pushing to make air cleaner-see the White House's move last week to further tighten soot standards.It's not perfect,but we've had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change.
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up?Hopefully-though the problem may get worse before it gets better.The good news is that it doesn't take a major technological advance to improve urban air.Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded (无铅燃油) helps,as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants.Power plants-even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal-can be fitted with pollution-control equipment that,at a price,will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants.
But the best solutions may involve urban design.In the Guardian,John Vidal notes that Delhi now has 200 cars per 1,000 people,far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore.Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in care ownership as residents become wealthier-and that doesn't have to mean deadly air pollution.Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations,witch is exactly what happened in the West.We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher.
41.What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?D
A.The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
B.The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
C.The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
D.The world's serious air pollution such as soot and dust.
42.The"byproduct"(Paragraph 1)most probably refers toA
A.consequence      B.solution         C.reform           D.design
43.The basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is thatC
A.the diesel soot is too small to be seen
B.the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe
C.the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood
D.the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
44.According to the passage,the writer actually wants to convince the readers thatD   
A.the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
B.the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
C.the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
D.the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world 
45.By describing urban design as"the best solution"in the last paragraph,the writer means thatB
A.the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
B.more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C.the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
D.the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution.

8.We all know that certain oils are healthier than others.but your oil health goes beyond just the type.The health of your oil can be related to how you use it too.
Each type of oil has what is called a"smoke point."The smoke point is the  specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down,or in more technical terms,its molecular structure begins to change.These molecular changes result in; changes in flavor,as well as  changes in nutritional value,specifically,the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce;changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil,like Olive,into one that is unhealthy.
The higher an oil's smoke point is,the higher the temperature of the oil can be.As a result,each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance.Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite oil.

Note that the above table represents oils that are refined(精炼的).Most oils we buy are refined.Refined oils tend to have much higher smoke points than when they are unrefined.They also differ in nutrition and flavor.Unrefined oils are more nutritious and they tend to be much richer in flavor.
When it comes to extremely high heat cooking,always choose oils which are refined.

62.What determines whether an oil is healthy or not?D
A.Whether it's refined or not.    
B.Its smoke point.
C.Its molecular.
D.How you use it.
63.Which of the following might be a better choice to make a healthy salad?C

A.oils are related to health
B.oils'value depends on their smoke points
C."certain oils are healthier"is relative
D.oils'flavor and nutrition are connected.
