When was the last time you went for a walk? Where did you go? What was it like? It’s fairly obvious that walking is good for you, but just how good?
Later research has shown that walking is a great form of exercise. It’s perfect for staying healthy and keeping your weight under control. It can also prevent heart disease and reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes (糖尿病). And walking can improve your mood, relieve (缓解) stress and even fight unhappiness.
But now scientists have discovered something else. A recent study has found that healthy people who walk at least eight kilometers a week have bigger brains, better memories and improved mental functions compared with less active people.
So, in light of the latest study, we decided to ask a few people about their walking habits.
“I often go for a walk before lunch in the park near where I work. I find it’s great for building up my appetite .”James Barnes.
“I go walking every weekend. It’s the same road but it’s always different. In the auturnn, you can pick up the golden leaves. In the spring when the flowers come out, the colors are incredible. And in winter when it snows, the crunching sound as you walk is unbelievable.”John Nichols.
“I live in the city and often walk home instead of taking the underground. I also walk up and down the escalators for a bit of exercise.”Declan Smith.
“London is a great place to walk. I can walk from my home to where I work right through Regent’s Park, with its tall, majestic trees.”Simon Tressel.
“I’ve been getting ready for the MoonWalk, which takes place in May. It’s a walk-a-thon through London to raise money for breast cancer(乳腺癌). As part of the training, I’ve been going for long, fast walks every three days.”Dave Symmonds.
So, will you be going for a walk soon?
51.What do Paragraphs 2 & 3 mainly talk about?
A.The advantages of walking.
B.The opinions of public people.
C.The findings about walking.
D.The results of latter research.
52.What does “building up my appetite”underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A.使我精神振作
B.使我心情愉悦
C.促进我的食欲
D.增强我的体质
53.Why does John Nichols say “It’s the same road but it’s always different”?
A.He walks different ways.
B.His feelings are wonderful.
C.He makes different friends.
D.The places are changing.
54.Which of the following is true about walking ?
A.It helps keep weight above control.
B.It’s best to walk ten kilometers a week.
C.Walking could make us cheerful.
D.Slow walking is a popular walking habit.
55.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text?
A.To introduce the study of walking.
B.To tell us how to keep healthy.
C.To encourage us to keep walking.
D.To teach us how to raise money.
D
We all like to think that we are different, but our fears are very similar. Many people have a fear of things like snakes, spiders, heights, water, and small enclosed spaces. How do we all develop them?
There are many fears that have developed from our natural human responses (反应) to dangerous situations. When we did not live in houses, but alongside nature, we faced many more dangers from animals. We have developed a response to situations that might cause us harm, such as a bite from a poisonous snake or a bite from a dog.
However, many of our fears are learned from our experiences. For example, if you see someone almost drown, you may react by developing a fear of water. Or, if a parent has a fear of heights, it is quite common for their children to also develop a fear of heights. The reason for this is simply because children learn behavior and attitudes from their parents.
So how many people surf from phobias (恐惧症)? While almost everyone has a fear of something, whether it is spiders or flying, a fear is only classified as a phobia by psychologists if it is so serious that it affects your daily life. According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, 19 million Americans (around 6% of the population) have specific phobias, such as crossing bridges or going through tunnels. Another 15 million (around 5%) have a social phobia, such as public speaking. Unfortunately, those who have one phobia are likely to have others, too.
Fortunately, there are many ways to deal with fears and phobias. Because many fears are learned during our lives, we simply have to unlearn these feelings. If people confront their fear in a gradual way, they can learn to control how they react to the situation and not panic. It might not cure the fear completely, but it will probably help people to do better.
56.What do we know about fears according to Paragraph 1?
A.Different people have different fears.
B.People have similar fears.
C.Fewer people are having fears now.
D.Fears may be developed.
57.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A.The cause of most fears are experiences.
B.The fear of heights is very common.
C.The reaction to a fear is unbelievable.
D.The reason of water fear is from family.
58.Which of the following best explains “panic”underlined in the last paragraph?
A.Amuse.
B.Puzzle.
C.Scare.
D.Wonder.
59.Which of the following is NOT true about fears and phobias?
A.Phobia is too serious for people to live calmly.
B.People with a phobia may not suffer from others.
C.Control your fear gradually, you can deal with it.
D.People have something to do with fears and phobias.
60.Where is the text most probably from?
A.A news report.
B.A science magazine.
C.A story book.
D.A sports newspaper.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is said that the eyes are the windows of our soul. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. 71 Your eyes need everyday attention.
Pay more attention to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. 72 Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.
A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes the eye muscles（肌肉）and gives them the rest required. Sleep not only helps the body to repair its tired tissues (组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. 73
You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.
74 For example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong.
Rubbing can cause damage to your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.
75 Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
A.To stay late every day is harmless to most of people.
B.We use our eyes in many unnoticeable and wrong ways.
C.Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.
D.They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk.
E.It is a good habit to keep your eyes working for a long time.
F.Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you.
G.However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly.

When was the last time you went for a walk? Where did you go? What was it like? It’s fairly obvious that walking is good for you, but just how good?
Later research has shown that walking is a great form of exercise. It’s perfect for staying healthy and keeping your weight under control. It can also prevent heart disease and reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes (糖尿病). And walking can improve your mood, relieve (缓解) stress and even fight unhappiness.
But now scientists have discovered something else. A recent study has found that healthy people who walk at least eight kilometers a week have bigger brains, better memories and improved mental functions compared with less active people.
So, in light of the latest study, we decided to ask a few people about their walking habits.
“I often go for a walk before lunch in the park near where I work. I find it’s great for building up my appetite .”James Barnes.
“I go walking every weekend. It’s the same road but it’s always different. In the auturnn, you can pick up the golden leaves. In the spring when the flowers come out, the colors are incredible. And in winter when it snows, the crunching sound as you walk is unbelievable.”John Nichols.
“I live in the city and often walk home instead of taking the underground. I also walk up and down the escalators for a bit of exercise.”Declan Smith.
“London is a great place to walk. I can walk from my home to where I work right through Regent’s Park, with its tall, majestic trees.”Simon Tressel.
“I’ve been getting ready for the MoonWalk, which takes place in May. It’s a walk-a-thon through London to raise money for breast cancer(乳腺癌). As part of the training, I’ve been going for long, fast walks every three days.”Dave Symmonds.
So, will you be going for a walk soon?

We all like to think that we are different, but our fears are very similar. Many people have a fear of things like snakes, spiders, heights, water, and small enclosed spaces. How do we all develop them?
There are many fears that have developed from our natural human responses (反应) to dangerous situations. When we did not live in houses, but alongside nature, we faced many more dangers from animals. We have developed a response to situations that might cause us harm, such as a bite from a poisonous snake or a bite from a dog.
However, many of our fears are learned from our experiences. For example, if you see someone almost drown, you may react by developing a fear of water. Or, if a parent has a fear of heights, it is quite common for their children to also develop a fear of heights. The reason for this is simply because children learn behavior and attitudes from their parents.
So how many people surf from phobias (恐惧症)? While almost everyone has a fear of something, whether it is spiders or flying, a fear is only classified as a phobia by psychologists if it is so serious that it affects your daily life. According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, 19 million Americans (around 6% of the population) have specific phobias, such as crossing bridges or going through tunnels. Another 15 million (around 5%) have a social phobia,。
