We all know that exercise is important in keeping the body healthy and reducing the risks of disease. It also cuts down 21stress and protects the body's immune system. But for many people, the word exercise conjures up hours of boring, strenuous activity. Recently, 22scientific studies have found that health benefits can be achieved with non-strenuous exercise.
This is very encouraging news for all those people 23thought they had to be athletes or work as hard as athletes to make exercise worth it. The new guidelines say that every adult should do at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week. And these 30 minutes can even be broken down 24smaller segments during the day. The important thing is to be 25and make exercise part of your daily life.
There are many ways to achieve this 26buying expensive equipment or joining a health club. Walking is one of the best ways to get exercise. Try to go 27 a walk after lunch or dinner to boost your metabolism and work 28some calories. If possible, walk all or part of the way to work or school. Use the stairs instead of the elevator 29you can. Gardening, raking leaves, and dancing are also good activities. (However, walking to the coffee or vending machine doesn't count!) As for sports, even if tennis or golf don't appeal 30you, hiking and cycling can be
relaxing and beneficial too.

Passage 1
The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC”for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.
“Your request is out of the question,”the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.
“And why do you want to do that?”the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department's programmes. There's great demand for them,”he answered.
The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.
The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,”he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.”Robert noticed the word “may.”He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

Passage 2
While the cities of China have undergone modernization evident in the rising towers and bright lights that have awakened the sleeping country, the countryside remains largely the same.
Rectangular rows of rice fields litter the landscape separated by long lanes of water designed to provide the constant supply of water that is vital to producing the crop. The experience is not unlike driving through the American Midwest, only rice not corn dominates the landscape.
Four years ago, when I last took this trip, the roads were dust and telephone wires did not run parallel to the highway. Bare roads have been replaced by sleek, newly paved highways running from Shanghai to Nanking, to my smaller, home city, Wuhu. Unlike the changes I had heard of and expected in Shanghai, Wuhu was much more of a surprise. The small city where I was born had grown up as I have. There are large high-rise buildings, each ringed with smaller buildings around it, many of these apartment complexes. Little seemed familiar and I wonder what my grandparent's flat built of brick and mortar had become.
Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised to find out that their home had been demolished and rebuilt as a six-story apartment complex as well. Walking up to the second floor I saw my grandfather's face peering out of the screen door. He began to smile as he saw me, and so did I. Their home is now no different from a western apartment. Equipped with the modern amenities of a gas stove, a toilet, a shower, this was indeed different from four years ago.

Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some reason, we cannot obtain it. It has been known to man for at least 3,000 years, but has come into common use only in modern times. Until quite recently it
was considered as a medicine and as a luxury for the very rich only.
Sugar is, then, very important to our civilization. But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. This common form of sugar is derived from two plants: the sugar cane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows underground. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties, each coming from a different source. About 90% of the sugar produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential uses will certainly
be developed more than in the past.
There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods. Thus sugar cane and beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000, while figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land growing wheat and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar.
36. The heading of Paragraph one may be .
A.What sugar is
B.Sugar Through the Ages
C.The Advantages of Sugar
D.Present and Future Uses of Sugar
37. The third paragraph emphasizes .
A.about 90% of sugar used as food
B.only 10% used in industry
C.sugar used for making plastics
D.future uses of sugar
38. Sugar has been used widely .
A.for 3,000 years
B.in modern times
C.quite recently
D.for 300 years
39. How many common forms of sugar are exemplified in this passage?
A.One.
B.Two.
C.One hundred.
D.Several hundreds.
40. The main reason why we should increase the production of sugar is . A.it tastes sweet B.we can save plenty of land
C.we can get more energy
D.it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy food
41. There are also those who are so easily distracted that they simply “lose track” of time, while others never learn to estimate or leave the time they need to keep on schedule.还有一些人由于注意力太容易分散以致于“忘了”时间，还有人从来也学不会正确估计时间或留出时间来按时完成工作。

42. Try to schedule certain periods of “interruptability”each day and save other periods of time for your own purposes.
每天列出一段时间作为“可以打扰的”时间，把剩下的时间留给自己。

43. The leading cause of accidental deaths at home for people between the ages of 14 and 44 is poisoning, often the result of the misuse of medicines.14 到44岁之间的人在家里意外死亡的首要原因是中毒，一般是服药不当造成的。

44. 还有一个可能的解释是，那些报道看到这些东西的人也许是在凭空想象，或者是编造故事以引人注意。

(make up)Another possible explanation is that the people who report the sightings could be imagining what they saw or making up stories to get attention.

Passage 2
It is plain that in the year 2000 everyone will have at his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has today.
There will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics. We are only beginning to learn that we can control our biological environment as well as our physical one. Starvation has been predicted twice to a growing world population: by Malthus in about 1800, by Crookes in about 1900. It was headed off the first time by taking agriculture to America and the second time by using the new fertilizers. In the year 2000, starvation will be headed off by the control of the diseases and the heredity (遗传) of plants and animals —by shaping our own biological environment.
Now I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine —the operator. By the year 2000, the repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were taken over long ago; and the mental tedium will go the way of physical exhaustion. Today we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled; but in the year 2000 all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change; it is as inevitable as the year 2000 itself.
36. The article was written to .
A.warn us of the impending starvation
B.present facts about life in the near future
C.oppose biological advances
D.warn of the evil side of automation
37. Advances in biological knowledge were .
A.kept pace with advances in physics
B.been responsible for the invention of new machines
C.surpassed those in physics
gged behind those in physics
38. According to the passage, starvation . A.can be predicted
B.is unavoidable
C.can be prevented
D.is mainly caused by poor agriculture
39. Repetitive tasks in industry lead to .A.physical exhaustion
B.mental stimulation
C.mental exhaustion
D.extinction
40. If the predictions of this writer are realized,the demand for the unskilled workers in the twenty-first century will be .
A.very high
B.very low
C.the same as today
D.constantly rising
41. At first I learned survival Japanese, so I could get by in everyday situations, but anything technical was difficult for me to understand.首先我学了最基本的日语，于是我在日常生活中还可勉强对付，但是任何技术性的东西对我来说就很难理解。

42. Although he knew it was impossible to be objective, Mr. Heinleins's purpose in writing this novel was to examine every major belief of Western culture.
尽管Heinlein 先生知道想要做到客观是不可能的，然而他创作这部小说的目的还是要对西方文化中的主要信念逐一进行检查。

43. They'd rather sit quietly at home in front of the TV set and watch a friendly announcer describe an item while a model displays it.他们宁愿静静地坐在家里的电视机前，观看态度亲切的主持人一边描述物品，旁边的模特一边展示这些物品。

44.火灾通常是由抽烟引起的，着火产生的烟雾和毒气比实际的火焰的危险性更大。

Fires, often caused by cigarette smoking, are more dangerous for the smoke and poisonous gases they create than for the actual flames.
45. 他们旅行是为了寻找一个能吃上好饭的家，一个阳光明媚的家，一个停车方便的家，一个没有犯罪的家，一个充满罗曼蒂克可能性的家。

Passage 2
Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the
trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the w orld. They can see everything and do everything.”

Passage 1
Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it.
We should like to find the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.
Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.
He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office he lines up to wait for his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. It he accidentally bump s into someone, or get in their way, he says, “Excuse me” or “I'm sorry”.
He says “Please”when making a request, and “Thank you”when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food.
31. According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of other races.
A.is very useful
B.is unnecessary
C.is unimportant
D.does not mean much
32. A person with good manners think of.
A.others before himself
B.himself before others
C.no one but imself
