However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassla nd, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great in flue nee on the en viro nment.Some sports are resource-h un gry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of coun tryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场）in good con diti on. This causes major environmen tal effects. For example, in the dry regi ons of Portugal and Spain, golf is ofte n held resp on sible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environmen t-frie ndly sports. Power walk ing is one of them that you could take up today. You don ' t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don ' t have to worry about reso your purse. Simple and f ree, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bon es. Experts say that 20 minu tes of power walk ing daily can make you feel less an xious, sleep well and have better weight con trol.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it gree ner by using environmen t-frie ndly equipme nt and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “ green gyms ” . They are better rfor traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the coun tryside or other ope n spaces. There is no special requireme nt for you to start your membership. And best of all, it ' s free.39.

It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage（遗产）Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Bianketed in mist（薄雾）,Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared un believably charm ing. When I headed toward the cen tre, I found myself surro un ded by buildi ngs that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the no ble buildi ngs, whichare solid sig ns of Liverpool ' s history.As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries（美术馆）than most cities in Britain.At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collect ions of Victoria n pain ti ngs in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many musi c events. As Britain ' s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians arefamous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousa nds of visitors, maki ng the city a place of won der.As you would expect from such a city, there are restaura nts servi ng food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool famous Philharmonic pub（酒馆）.It is a monument to perfect ion, and a heritage attracti on itself.Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstandinguniversal value ” It is a treasure house with ple nty of secrets for the world to explore.43.

Liverpool is an impressive place full of attractio nC. a pub is a won derful place for visitors to relax themselvesD. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journey46. What is the passage mainly about?A. The uni versal value of the world heritage in LiverpoolB. The exciting experience of the author in LiverpoolC. The special cultural atmosphere of LiverpoolD. The beautiful historic sites of LiverpoolEA rece nt study, while show ing a gen erally positive attitude toward scie nce, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “ running out of co iThis idea is d”ngerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisi ons. The decisi ons we make, pers on ally or collectively, will determ ine the outcomes of scie nce. But here is a real dan ger. Science is adva ncing so fast and is so stron gly in flue need by bus in esses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal object ions, wha tever is scie ntifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dan gerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopeless ness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to con trol the use of scie nee. Without a com mon un dersta nding, the challe nges of “ con trolli ng scie”ce in this cen tury will be really tough. Take huma n cloning for example. Despite the gen eral agreeme nt among scie ntists on its possible huge impact（影响）on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and developme nt of its related tech niq ues. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the un tiedefforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe aga inst the misuse of scie nce and can scie nce best serve mankind in the future.47. What can we con clude from the recent study?A. People think highly of scie nce.B. People hold mixed opinions about scie nce.C. Scie nce is getti ng dan gerously out of con trol.D. Scie nce is used for both good and bad purposes.48. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The developme nt of scie nce will hopelessly slow dow n.B. Busin esses will have even greater in flue nce on scie nce.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put scie nce un der con trol.49. The discussi on should reach bey ond scie ntific societies because ___ …A. scie ntists have failed to predict the outcomesB. the ties betwee n differe nt areas n eed stre ngthe ningC. un ited efforts are n ecessary for the developme nt of scie nceD. people n eed to work together to preve nt the bad use of scie nce50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applicati ons bring us many dan gers.B. The developme nt of scie nce mostly lies in people's attitudes.C. Mankind can largely take con trol of scie nce with their efforts.D. The future of scie nce will be in flue need by the dan gerous ideas.第二节补全对话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案写在二卷对应位置（否则不予给分），选项中有两项多余选项。
