I’m heading in the direction where you’ll be catching the bus you want.Text 4M: What was it like working with those young stars?W: It was a great group.

More and more foreign companies are investing in the country. And more and more local companies are growing into world leaders. In deed, India is quickly becoming one of the word’s biggest economies.Since 1994, India’s economy has grown at around 7% per year. In 2007, it was already the world’s 10 the largest. Many people think it will keep rising, to 3rd or 4th place within 20 years.India has several key advantages. First, it has a large and young population, so the country has no problem finding workers for all kinds of jobs. Second, India has a strong service sector. In the areas like software and communications, it’s gettingstro nger and stronger. Third, English is one of the country’s national languages. That’s a big help when doing business overseas.However, India is also dealing with many problems. About 20% of the people are poor. Plus, a lot needs to be done to improve education and healthcare. These problems are especially big in rural areas.Over the next few decades, India will have to come up with answers to these problems. If it can, and if its economy keeps growing, we’ll definitely hear a lot more about the country in the coming years.Text 11There are far too many road accidents in this country, too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame, drivers or walkers. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of roads and the whole transport system. In crowded cities like London, Birmingham or Manchester, road conditions are so chaotic that both drivers and walkers often endanger lives through no fault of their own. Such shortages as too many road signs, faulty traffic lights, sudden narrowing of the streets, crowded parking are all a sure indication of bad road conditions.On the other hand,many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death must be put on persons and persons alone:Drivers who drive too fast and without any consideration for others;drivers who think they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much alcohol;drivers,who out of some curious sense of power,are incapable of understanding that their car is a powerful weapon if improperly used.Walkers,likewise,must share the guilt—stepping off the road without first looking to the left or right,crossing roads when the traffic lights are against them,jumping off a moving bus.To be fair,walkers,drivers and road conditions are all to blame.One looks forward to the day when the motor car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.Text 12Health is the most important“property”.Therefore,we should do as much as we can to improve the state of our health.I think that there are several important things we can do to improve our health such as by doing regular sport activities,having a balanced diet and by smoking and drinking less.Also,if we want to stay healthy,we must decrease the amount of stress in our lives.Movement is the core of human nature.However,nowadays many professions involve sitting down all day.As a result many people have become overweight,which is a serious disease.Our body also needs a lot of vitamins and minerals.Therefore,vegetables and fruits are necessary for the human body,but many people eat foods which are rich in fat and don’t contain enough vitamins and minerals.Sport activities and a balanced diet are both very important things,but on their own they are insufficient for maintaining good health.Smoking,drinking and drugs are the worst for our health.These substances destroy many important human organs.Smoking,for instance,harms our lungs and teeth.Nowadays,stress is a serious problem in many countries.According to some researchers,stress can cause cancer and many other problems.There are several waysto cure stress symptoms.Nature is one of the best ways to relieve stress.Taking a quiet walk in a park or watching a beautiful sunset can do wonders for our body.高二听力答案第1-3节1—5 ABCAB 6—10 BCBBA 11—15CCBAB 16—20 CACBA21—25 BAABB第四节：26.____property_____27___regular____28____decrease______29___professions__30____overweight_____31______contain_____32____harms____33____cure_____34____relieve__35 ______ wonders ___成都外国语学校度下期期中考试高二英语试卷命题人：吴凯、高欢、赵芳审题人：赵芳注意事项：1. 本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分。
