    17．If you know the following fact，you'll understand why many people suffer from foot problems．The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the Earth in a lifetime．That is enormous wear and tear on the 26 bones，33 joints and more than 100 muscles that make up the foot．
    In a recent survey for the American Podiatric Medical Association，53 percent of respondents reported foot pain so severe that it affected their daily function．On average，people develop pain in their 60s，but it can start as early as the 20s and 30s．And usually women give care to their feet while men don't．"A lot of people think foot pain is part of the aging process and accept it，and  walk with pain，"said Dr Andrew Shapiro．Though some foot problems are inevitable，their progress can be slowed．The following questions will help you assess whether you should take more preventive action as you age．Do you have flat feet or hig harches（足弓）？Either puts feet a trisk．Shoes that support the arch and heel can help flat feet．People with high arches should look for roomy shoes and soft erpadding（衬垫）to absorb the shock．Proper exercises also strengthen muscles，supporting the foot．
    Do your shoes fit？In the survey，more than 34 percent of men said they could not remember the last time their feet were measured.20 percent of women said that once a week they wore shoes that hurt，and 8 percent wore painful shoes daily．Feet flatten and lengthen with age，so if you still stick to the shoe size you wore at the age of 21，get your feet measured．Do you walk？Putting more mileage（里程）on your feet is the best way to exercise the muscles and keep them healthy．

    18．Many people say they can not start their day without first having a cup of coffee or tea．People say these drinks help them think clearly and feel more awake．This is because of  caffeine，a kind of matter found in some plants．Caffeine helps to give a jumpstart to the  nervous system．Now a new report says it may also improve long-term memory．
        Michael Yassa is a neurobiology professor at the University of California．He and other  researchers wanted to know if caffeine could improve what they called memory consolidation．They asked a group of individuals to learn something new，then the same people were given caffeine，the active component in coffee，tea and chocolate．
        He and the other researchers worked with a group of l60 people who were Caffeinefree．On the first day，all the subjects were shown pictures of everyday objects．They were asked to identify whether the pictures could be found inside the house or outdoors．Some of the subjects were then given a caffeine pill，the others were given a placebo-a pill containing an inactive thing．On the second day，all of the subjects were asked to look at more pictures．Some of the images were exactly like the ones they had seen 24 hours early．But other images were different．And a third group of pictures was similar to the first group but a little different．The participants had to decide whether the images they saw were the same or different from the ones on the first day．
        Professor Yassa says their answers help to show the effects of caffeine on memory．He  says those who took the caffeine pills had a ten to twelve percent increase in their ability to   remember the objects．The amount of caffeine the researchers used in the study was similar to  one strong cup of coffee．
        Professor Yassa says pills with a little more caffene also increased memory，but resulted  in some participants appearing more nervous．

    15．Not very long ago，the question would have seemed absurd．Now it is on the lips of respected scientists； MPs（议员） are beginning to talk of"a war on sugar"，and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be，like the old enemy tobacco，taxed in order to protect the nation's health．
    There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking，when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left，for Government was：what should we do about it？
    Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar．Others-largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry-say the entire debate has been skewed，（歪曲） by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous．
    More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you．There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant，avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes，heart disease and other long-term conditions．
    But to what extent is sugar-rather than saturated fats，or salt，carbohydrates or proteins，or any of the other devils of modem diets-the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it？
    Yesterday，hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organization （WHO） were confused once again，which，widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance，instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10per cent of the energy we consume，while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have"additional benefits"．The decision will now go out to public consultation．
    Simon Capewell，professor of the University of Liverpool，said that he suspected"dirty work"on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message．
    "The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入） in families，we must protect personal choice，"Professor Capewell said．"We say there is no personal choice．At the moment，a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups-with three，or four，or five teaspoons of sugar in them．She has a choice of thousands of ready meals-with five，or six，or even nine teaspoons of sugar in．"

    59．By referring to smoking the author indicates thatB．
    A．sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smoking
    B．it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban something
    C．it is easy for people to see bad effects of something
    D．people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately
    60．WHO has changed its idea mainly becauseC．
    A．it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasized
    B．it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do now
    C．it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us good
    D．it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies
    61．When reporting the argument about sugar，the author seems toB．
    A．remain objective                    B．stand by those against it
    C．believe it harmless                 D．hold the view of"wait-and-see"
    62．Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage？A
    A．Is sugar the new evil？B．How much sugar do you take daily？
    C．Is sugar to be taxed？D．How much do you know about sugar？

    8．Chicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian carp，a giant fish native to the Far East，from coming into North America's Great Lakes in large numbers．Such a move could cost up to$18bn，a heavy economic burden to the city．
    This species，more than a metre in length，was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage（污水）treatment plants．But they escaped into the Mississippi River and increased in number quickly，making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threatening the native fish species along the way．
    "Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats approach．''Michael Beecham，a local environmental expert，described how frightening the scene was．"I've gone down the river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face．It is a big problem for our native species，"he said．
    A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem，one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago's canal system．Listening at the meeting was John Goss，who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the canal system would have on industry．"It would certainly increase the cost of transportation，"he told．"It is currently very cheap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal．"
    Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence．Dirk Fucik is selling carp burger（鲤鱼汉堡包）at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago．He thinks the carps are a great resource．"To catch it and throw it away is a waste，"he says．"Eating them helps solve the problem and also provides jobs．"But the idea has not yet caught on．So far，he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers．

    A．is very adaptable to the new environment
    B．has made the Great Lake their home

    C．is a big threat to the local species
    D．forms a beautiful scene on the river
    63．In John Goss's point of view，the building of barriersB
    A．can force the Asian carp out of the Great Lakes
    B．may lead to the increasing cost of industrial products
    C．will help the canal system work more efficiently
    D．will bring high profits to the related companies
    64．What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage？B
    A．The Americans have included the Asian carp in their food list．
    B．Dirk Fucik is a pioneer in selling carp burgers in Chicago．
    C．Catching Asian carps has created many jobs in America．

    11．A new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives in northern China．Researchers estimate that the half-billion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5 years less than their southern counterparts because they breathed dirtier air．
    China itself made the comparison possible：for decades，a now-discontinued government policy provided free coal for heating，but only in the colder north．Researchers found significant differences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions．
    While previous studies have found that pollution affects human health，"the deeper and
    ultimately more important question is the impact on life expectancy，"said one of the researchers，Michael Greenstone，a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of一Technology．
    "This study provides a unique setting to answer the life expectancy question because the
    （heating） policy dramatically changes pollution concentrations（含量），Greenstone said in an email．"Further，due to the low rates of migration in China in this period，we can know people's exposure over long time periods，"he said．
    The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and offices to cities north of the Huai Riv饥which divides China into north and south．It was in effect for much of the 1950-198，0 period of central planning，and，though discontinued after 1980，it has left a legacy（遗留Pl in the north of heavy coal burning，which releases particulate pollutants into the air that can harm human health．Researchers found no other government policies that treated China's north differently from the south．
    The researchers collected data for 90cities，from 1981to 2000，on the annual daily average
    concentration of total suspended（悬浮的）particulates．In China，those are considered to be particulates that are 100micrometers or less in diameter，sent out from sources including power stations，construction sites and vehicles．Among them，PM2.5is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs．
    The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies using death data from 1991-2000．They found that in the north，the concentration of particulates was 184micrograms per cubic meter一or 55percent higher than in the south，and life expectancies were 5.5years lower on average across all age ranges．

    62．The main idea of this passage is thatA．
    A．research in China finds air pollution shortened life expectancy
    B．the government provided free coal for heating in North China
    C．coal burning causes bad air quality across China
    D．a new study finds different particulates in South China
    63．According to Greenstone，Cgreatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations in North China．
    A．power stations 
    B．construction sites
    C．the free heating policy 
    D．gases from vehicles
    64．It is implied in the passage thatB•
    A．coal is no longer used for heating in North China
    B．air quality was comparatively better in South China
    C．southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980s
    D．people preferred to live in South China after 1980
    65．The underlined word"particulates"most probably meansC．
    A．dirty clouds
    B．particular smoke
    C．harmful dust 
    D．dangerous bacteria．
