     Running, as most of you already know, is a sport that all sorts of people love. Running a marathon is also
something that many long-distance runners have as a goal. Now if you decide you want to train for a marathon,
how do you go about getting yourself into excellent shape for the race of your life? 
     Most marathon training schedules last around 20 weeks and are designed for runners who can run 4-5 days
per week. The secret of a successful training schedule lies in avoiding injury that can happen through pushing
yourself too fast or too hard. So, the idea is to increase your mileage gradually from, let's say,20 miles per week
up to runs of 50 miles per week at some point before the actual marathon. Alternate (交替) hard days with easy
days: an easy day could be a day off altogether or something else like a three-mile run which, although it might
not seem to be really worth the effort to some of you, actually is a joy to do.
     Be careful how you warm up and slow down, because these are the times when injuries could happen. When
you set off for a run, take the first mile slowly and when you break into a sweat, stop and do some stretching
exercises for a couple of minutes. Always take the last mile slowly too-if you stop suddenly after a hard run,
then those of you who might have heart attacks are putting yourselves at greater risk at the point. One word of
warning: don't start a training schedule without some guidance from a properly qualified trainer. He or she will
be able to tell you what you're doing right or wrong! Remember that under normal circumstances, health
benefits from regular running are an increased sense of energy and well being, together with fitness.
1. In the second paragraph, the writer says that _____.
[     ]
A. it's not worth doing a three-mile run
B. there should be some easy days rather than hard days
C. the training period should last for three weeks
D. a short run can be a pleasant experience
2. The most dangerous times are when you are _____.
[     ]
A. starting and stopping
B. building up speed
C. running hard
D. sweating a lot
3. This article might be written for _____.
[     ]
A. people interested in taking up running
B. young athletes
C. people already involved in running
D. athletics trainers
4. If you run on a regular basis, you will _____.
[     ]
A. avoid having heart attacks
B. be able to win a marathon
C. feel better and more energetic
D. become a faster runner

阅读下面短文,请根据短文后的要求进行答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)
     [l]Compared to people with bad attitudes, people _____ are less likely to suffer from colds. It's possible
that being positive helps the body fight illnesses.
     [2]In a previous study, people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop coughs
and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms
to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms.
     [3]Those findings were interesting, but they didn't prove that a person's attitude affects whether he or
she gets sick.
Instead, it was still possible that a person's underlying personality is what matters.
     [4]Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and
optimistic, with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not
how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
     [5]To figure out which mattered more, personality or emotions, the researchers interviewed 193 healthy
adults. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms,
however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight.
     [6]Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28
percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people
who had been less positive.
     [7]Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how
healthy we are. For now, it can't hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!

   1     .
     I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85
mph       2  we realized we were    3    . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill.
I was so    4    because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   5    seemed like
throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.   6     I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my
table. About halfway through the meal, I    7     I had not actually handed any money to the cashier . I

     In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional
business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing
and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,
and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon
or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its
supply of natural resources.
     Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the
global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for
example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution. It is now tryuing hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge
amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth
in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting
down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than
50%.
     Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement
of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid
the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
     The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the
limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries.
1. The traditional business model is humful because of all the following EXCEPT that _____.
A. It makes the world warmer
B. it consumes natural resources
C. it brings severe damage to forests
D. it makes growth hard to continue
2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. China lacks wind and solar energy.
B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.
C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
3. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can _____.
A. cut public expenses
B. forbid carbon emission
C. develop public resources
D. encourage energy conservation
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to _____.
A. develop sustainable products
B. explore new natural resources
C. make full use of natural resources
D. deal with the major challenge
5. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new business model.
B. To compare two business models.
C. To predict a change of the global market.
D. To advocate sustainable development.

     Illegal removal of coral (珊瑚) along Sri Lanka's coastline increased the amount of destruction on the
island by last December's tsunami, say researchers.
      Harindra Fernando, a fluid dynamicist (力学家) at Arizona State University in Tempe, made the connection
after a visit to his native Sri Lanka earlier this year. While serving as a scientific expert and translator for a
BBC-documentary team, he chatted with locals who said they saw the tsunami turn sideways when it hit
coral-which would have made it less powerful than in coral-free areas. Fernando linked this to trucks he had
seen last year carrying piles of coral away from the sea.
      Using the eyewitness reports, estimates (估算) of wave heights, and a series of divers to check the
presence or absence of corals, Fernando and his colleagues produced a map of coral gaps and wave flooding
along Sri Lanka's southwest coast. 
     The tsunami reached significantly farther inland through the gaps: in one instance, the water traveled 1.5
kilometres long and knocked a passenger train off its tracks, killing 1,700. But only a few kilometers away,
where the coral was still undamaged, the wave travelled just 50 metres inland and caused no deaths.
      There is a similar phenomenon. In Nicaragua in 1992, a tsunami poured through a break in the coral reef
made to let boats through. "Within this passage, water went one kilometre inland," says Fernando. "But nearby,
where the coral was undamaged, there were still beach umbrellas standing."
      In Sri Lanka, coral is illegally mined to provide souvenirs for tourists, or to be used in house paint. Coral
harvesters sometimes blow it up with dynamite (炸药) in order to collect fish at the same time. Often, the
reefs in the best shape are those in front of hotels, as the hotel owners maintain them for the tourists. Fernando
hopes that his findings will encourage the Sri Lankan government to enforce (实施) its laws against coral
mining.
1. Harindra Fernando did all the following EXCEPT _____.

[     ]

A. serving as a translator for a BBC-documentary team
B. helping the Sri Lankan government enforce its laws against coral mining
C. producing a map of coral gaps along Sri Lanka's southwest coast
D. linking the coral removal with the destruction of Tsunami
2. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _____.

[     ]

A. undamaged coral can greatly decrease tsunami damage
B. coral-free area is a danger to passenger trains
C. in general, water travels 30 times farther inland in a coral-free area
D. it is urgent to enforce laws against coral mining
3. Which of the following may NOT be the cause of coral gaps?

[     ]

A. Boat passages.
B. Tourists' sightseeing.
C. Fish collecting.
D. Tourists' souvenirs.
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

[     ]

A. Harindra Fernando, a Great Environment Protector
B. Stop Using Coral as Souvenirs
C. Coral Cried "Help! Help!"
D. Coral Mining Enhanced (加剧) Tsunami Damage

     In 2004, the World Health Organization, WHO, warned of a possible outbreak of another serious disease
which may be even more deadly than SARS. The WHO believes that it is likely that bird flu will spread to
human beings in the next few years. If it does, up to seven millions people could die from the disease.
     Diseases like bird flu are caused by viruses, that is, tiny things which change and become more dangerous
over time. When a new type of a common virus changes, it may be able to get past the body's immune (免疫
的) system. If that happens, humans are in great danger until a cure or treatment becomes available.
     There have always been viruses and people always get sick, of course, but as we saw with SARS, the
situation is more difficult today. People travel more than ever before, which means that disease can spread
quickly and across large areas-in fact the whole world.
     Scientists are already working on drugs that will prevent or limit the effect of a new virus, but the process
takes time. It is just as important to make sure that countries, especially poor countries, are prepared to deal
with the disease. New disease usually affect poor areas the most, so we must help develop health care in all
countries.
1. The situation is more serious today because _____.
[     ]
A. people travel more
B. people don't eat healthy food
C. there aren't enough hospitals
D. scientists can't find a cure
2. From this passage we know _____.
[     ]
A. bird flu will surely spread to human beings in the next few years
B. a virus changes and become less dangerous over time
C.SARS is 1ikely to come again in some years
D. poor areas usually suffers more from new diseases than rich areas
3. The possible title of this passage is _____.
[     ]
A. The Work of WHO
B. Scientists Are Working Hard on Drugs for Diseases
C. What Is a Virus
D. Virus Changes and Causes New Diseases Over Time

     Most American kids love Halloween treats, but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentist's nightmare.
Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists say parents also need
to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad.
     It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth. According to
pediatric dentists Dr Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays
in the mouth for a long time. This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat, the bacteria take
our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The
longer the food stays in the mouth, the more likely cavities will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than
candy because they get stuck between teeth. For the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice.
Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats.
     If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies,
chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth. Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to kill some of the
bacteria in the mouth. But no matter what a child eats, brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight
cavities.
1. What is the main purpose of this passage?
[     ]
A. To discuss how cavities can be treated.
B. To point out the problems with Halloween celebrations.
C. To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their children's teeth.
D. To teach parents the meaning of Halloween candies for their children.
2. Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth?
[     ]
A. They may break the child's teeth.
B. They help bacteria to produce tannins.
C. They contain too much sugar.
D. They stay in the mouth for a long time.
3. According to the passage, which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats?
[     ]
A. Chocolate
B. Crackers
C. Raisins
D. Potato chips
4. According to the passage, which of the following is true of tannins?
[     ]
A. They are produced when the bacteria digest the food.
B. They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouth.
C. They help chocolate to dissolve more quickly.
D. They destroy the surface of the teeth.

     Most rain forest lie close to equator (赤道), where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of
sunshine. The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain.
The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for
plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also have an
effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet
air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the
daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts, keep temperatures fit for plant growth.
     Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of
three months or more when little rain falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when
the wet season or monsoon (雨季) begins. Thus these areas are known as the "monsoon forest".
     Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. It is often called the "cloud forest" because clouds
often hang over the trees like fog.
     The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals
to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through
animals, stomachs and are passed out in their droppings. The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into
new trees.
1. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _____.
[     ]
A. mild, wet and windy
B. hot, rainy and foggy
C. warm, wet and sunny
D. hot, wet, cloudy
2. We can learn from the passage that _____.
[     ]
A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest
B. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains
C. clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow
D. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees
3. According to the passage _____ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds.
[     ]
A. animals
B. droppings
C. fruits
D. winds
4. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.
[     ]

    Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many
people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find
a cure.
    At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some
chickens. He didn't eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite
surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed
the food most Javanese ate-refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined
rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an
important discovery - that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were
named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had
actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found
to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person's food.
    Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough
vitamins from the food they eat. If they don't, they can also take vitamin pills.
1. The underlined word "cure" in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
[     ]
A. a medical treatment
B. a kind of vitamin
C. a kind of germ
D. a kind of rice

[     ]
A. To eat them.
B. To carry out his experiments.
C. To give the Javanese a surprise.
D. To make money by selling them.
