Nothing can be compared, he 46 , with the twittering of birds at dawn. This is only part of the picturesque country life. He 47 to mention the long and dull winter evenings in front of the TV. He says 48 about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those 49 people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why they do so for the uncertain privilege of living in the country is 50 me. They could be saved so much misery and 51 if they chose to live in the city where they belong. If you can do without the few pleasures of the country, you will find the city can provide you 52 the best that life can offer. Friends live nearby and are always 53 for an informal chat. For those in the 54 to come up to town is a major operation which involves 55 planning. The city dweller never experiences 56 of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride 57 . Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. Country people run wild when they go shopping in the cityand head home 58 with as many items as they can carry. Few thins could be more 59 than the peace of deserted city streets when the thousands that travel to work every day are in their homes in the country. It has always been a(n) 60 to me why city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, just pretend that they would prefer to live in the country.41. A. over B. across C. through D. in42.

Such findings tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic （肥胖症的流行）began in the 1980s, and many people think it results from increased portion（食物）sizes and inactivity , but that can't be everything. Big Macs and TVs have been with us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were related to something in the environment," says Thomas Glass of the Hopkins School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green.The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn't the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer to identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood simply means more places for kids to play — which is important since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest links to children's activity levels.Glass warns that most studies don't necessarily prove a link between greenness and health, but they're helping spur action. In September the U.S. government approved the No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives（积极性）aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors.Finding green space is, of course, not always easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city withgood parks, take advantage of what's there. Your children in particular will love it — and their bodies will thank you.61. According to the passage, what might cause children’s inactivity?A. Less concrete and more treesB. Increased portion sizesC. A greenneighborhood D. A shrinking of the green62. According to the passage, which of the following statements is wrong?A. Big Macs and TVs have something to do with obesity.B. If a 100-pound man lives in green space for 2 years, he will lose 13 pounds.C. Kids should be exposed more to outdoors.D. Kids gain less weight living in a suburb or a city with good parks.63. What does the underlined word “spur” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. improveB.take C.encourage D. stop64. What might be the best title of the passage?A. The obesityepidemic B. Slimmer in the grassC. Causes ofobesity D. Prevention of obesityBThe cane toad(癞蛤蟆)was introduced to northern Queensland 70 years ago to control sugarcane beetles (甘蔗害虫). But the toads failed in that duty but spreadacross Queensland and into neighboring northern area.Now it calmly invades the states of Western Australia and New South Wales (NSW). NSW wildlife experts fear the amphibians--which have poisonous backs that kill hungry predators(食肉动物)--will have a terrible effect on native animals.Those fears may be about to be realized. Australia’s Commonwealth S cience and Industry Research Organization (CSIRO), predicts that a rise in average temperatures that will make NSW an ideal living place for the cane toads.Tony Robinson, head of CSIRO, said, “Climate change is increasing the amount of suitable living place for the cane toads. With climate change, the cane toads might go down as far as Sydney and some areas of Western Australia.”Robinson also noted, “More southerly cities, such as Melbourne and Adelaide, would likely remain too cold and dry to ever suit the toads, but Perth could expect cane toads in five years time. Sydney could see their arrival in the next 20 years.”The cane toads already cover at least half of Queensland and most of the northern country.A new virus was tried in the 1990s but had to be given up after it was found to also kill native frog. Scientists believe a national approach is needed.The main threat the toads cause to species such as dingoes, and crocodiles is the poison contained in their bodies. The poison sprays out when the toads are threatened or handled roughly and it is made up of 14 different chemicals.Cane toads also compete, and usually win, the hunt for food and living space.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Poison Toads Is Covering AustraliaB. Ways to Keep the Toads under ControlC. The Main Threat the Cane Toads CauseD. Climate Favors the Spread of Cane Toads.66. It can be learnt from the passage that ______________.A. the cane toads are strong enough to kill dingoes or even crocodiles.B. the cane toads was taken to Australia 70 years ago to kill pests.C. the cane toads move westward and northward because there is plenty of food there.D. with 14 different kinds of poisons in its body, a cane toad usually wins the hunt for food.67. The underlined words “the amphibians” in the second paragraph referto__________.A. hungrypredators B. sugarcane beetlesC. the canetoads D. dingoes68. According to the passage, the cane toad is the least likely to live in _________.A. QueenslandB. PerthC. SydneyD. MelbourneCTight-lipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Similarly, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch （概括）of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is decidingwhether your education, your experience, and other qualifications, will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible（实在的） to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.69. What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but w hat you get”?A. You’ll probably get what you wantB. You are supposed to be practicalC. You should be dissatisfied with what you haveD. It’s essential to set a goal for yourself70. A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as ________A. an example of how to write an application for a jobB. an indication of how to secure a good jobC. a guideline for job seekers to succeedD. a principle for job evaluation and description71. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because ______A. that is the first step to please the employerB. that is the requirement of the employerC. it enables him to know when to sell his servicesD. it enables him to become clearly aware of himselfDMany countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car’s airbags that will inflate（使充气）during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920’s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.Dr. C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5, 1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable(伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three-point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front-seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated(授权) the use of five-point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver’s airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre-inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to weara seat belt.72. This article mostly deals with .A. the importance of seat belt useB. different forms of seat beltsC. the history of seat beltdevelopment D. how to drive safely on the road73. We can learn from this article that _____.A. to reduce your risk of death or serious injury by 70%, you must wear a five-point seat belt while you are drivingB. the U.S. was the first country to require by law that car drivers and front-seat passengers wear their seat beltsC. if two or more collisions occur during a serious car accident, your airbags can help reduce the risk of death by 70%D. American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles because they had seen many injuries caused by car accidents74. The author treats the subject of this article with .A. good humorB.admiration C.seriousness D. disapproval75. Which of the following statements is true?A. Airbags, door locks, and seat belts were all designed at the same time.B. Seat belts were first used in airplanes and then applied to vehicles.C. The lap belt is more modern than the 3-point safety belt.D. Buying the latest seat belts is an essential driving skill.任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）If you want to design a life of your choice, firstly, you mustn’t take your life for granted. It is a human tendency to expect everything to settle down and be in total harmony by the age of 40-50. If you wish to get good-quality fruits at 40, sow(播种)quality seeds in your twenties. Your twenties are the formative years of your career, your thirties are the consolidation(巩固)stage and your forties are the period to take advantage of your previous two decades’labor, a time to build on the advantages to create wealth. This applies to your personal life, professional life and social life, which will eventually make your life in your fifties much more satisfying.Secondly, you should be specific about what you want in life and from life. If your goal is to climb Mount Everest, you should know where it is located, how high it is, the oxygen supply, the best time, and the equipment. Similarly, you should be specific about what you want from life, where and how you can get it, what are the efforts you need to fulfill the needs, and the time and equipment needed. Don’t move forth without goals or be unequipped.Thirdly, take risks, but don’t leave things to chance. It is a well-known fact that without taking risks, not much can be achieved. However, before taking risks, make an objective judgment about the gains and losses, the investment, the returns, and the time required. Remember, time is the one resource of which there is always plenty but which can never be restored once passed.Remember, you only have one life, and it’s only going to happen once. Therefore, fourthly, take the time right now to work out a design for your life. If life was a movie, and you were the producer and actor, what role would you want to play and how would the plot unfold? Designing your life is like making a movie. You have to be able to imagine the end at the beginning. It may be a little hazy(模糊)at first,but as you continue working on it, it’ll become clearer and clearer.Lastly, you are supposed to make concrete(明确具体的)plans, but keep them flexible enough to be able to change them according to situation. As the producer of your life, you can change, delete, or add anything you want in your project. But at least by going through this exercise of designing your life, you are in control of your circumstances, rather than allowing yourself to become a victim of them. So do not hesitate to change your path, if necessary.单词拼写（满分10分）1. One of the main d__________ to their products is that they tend to waste electricity.2.
