）Last summer I went to Miami Beach, Florida, where I stayed for two weeks. My friend John and I flew to Miami from New York in three hours. It was the first time for both of us to travel by air. We settled back in deep armchairs and enjoyed an unusual and breathtaking (使人吃惊的，非凡的) view (视野，景色) of the world. We went there because the rates were lower (较低的，降低) out of season. We stayed at a hotel on the beach. We slept late every morning and then had breakfast outdoors near the pool. When the weather was not too hot, we used to go sightseeing (观光，游览) in the morning. We visited the campus (校园) of the University of Miami, and the Everglades. In the afternoon, we used to go swimming in the ocean or the pool, lie in the sun, or go water-skiing. After dinner in the evening, we used to go dancing in a discotheque or enjoy ourselves in the night clubs. The weather was very good every day, and the two weeks went by only too quickly.

The report released in Bangkok said that parts of China, India, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan are threatened by man-made and natural events that turn productive (有收获的) land into deserts. It said the most serious threat to the area is the rapid shrinking of Asia's rain forests, or woods, especially in Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. The report said the reduction (减少) in wood areas has already led to increased flooding, water-shortages in the dry seasons and the loss of farm lands. A top U.N. official said that as much as 70% of the woods in Asia will be gone in 20 years unless actions are taken now to save them.9.

When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. That was not very bad in summer, but in winter it was cold. And we didn't have any hot water in the house. We had to wash in cold water. We didn't have a bathroom. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was abus, but we didn't have the money. And we had to go to bed at seven o'clock every night. We couldn't watch TV because there wasn't any. On Sundays we had to go to church three times —morning, afternoon and evening. And we couldn't play outside on Sundays. But it wasn't all bad. We had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn't have to worry about us. There weren't so many cars on the roads then, so the streets were safe to play in. And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren't able to buy all those things in the shops today. Life was hard, but it was simple and people were happier. I don't think I'd like to be young today.17.

WalkingI live about a half-mile from two gas stations, two miles from Walmart and less than two miles from the mall. These businesses are well within walking distance, but I don’t walk to any of them—I drive. This may seem surprising, but many Americans practice the same habit.According to the 2010 'National Bicycle and Walking Study' by the U. S. Department of Transportation, 72 percent of trips that are less than three miles in length are made by vehicle. Short distances can be easily traversed by foot rather than by car but only a quarter of Americans are choosing walking or biking as their means of transportation.A December 2012 study by Gregg L. Furie published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, says that about 25 percent of Americans participate in active transportation. Active transportation is defined as human-powered transportation, such as walking or biking. The results of the study showed that those who participated in active transportation had a lower BMI lower waist circumference, and lower odds of developing hypertension and diabetes.The 'Vital Signs Walking Among Adults' study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages adults to get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. However, about half of all adults do not get the recommended amount of exercise, and about one-third reported no physical activity at all The study also showed that walkers were three times more likely to meet the recommended amount of exercise than non-walkers.In addition to the health benefits associated with active transportation, there are many less obvious benefits as well. The American Automobile Association’s(AAA) annual 'Your Driving Costs' study for 2012 revealed that the average annual cost for owning and operating a sedan is $ 8,946. Compared with essentially cost-free foottravel or the $120 annual cost of owning a bicycle, choosing active trans portation saves you money.Walking is an easily accessible activity that can be done anywhere anytime with anyone. By implementing walking as a primary form of commuting, people can increase their health and decrease their spending. Participating in human-powered transportation also removes some of the stresses of driving from people’s lives. By walking, people can avoid traffic congestion, stop signs, and road rage. Realistically, walking to work could not only be more beneficial, but also more practical than driving.So, put down the car keys, lace up your walking shoes and prepare yourself for a commute that few choose to experience--walking.From the first paragraph we can know that()A.the writer is too lazy to walk to workB.American people prefer driving to walking in spite of the short distanceC.the writer is very lucky to live not far away from gas stations and shopping mallsD.it is very convenient for the writer to go shopping12.From the 2010 'National icycle and Walking Study' we can see that. ()A.72% of people prefer to drive carsB.few people like to travel long distances by carsC.75 % of people choose driving cars as their means of transportationD.most people prefer to travel short distances on foot13.It’s reported that adults don’t do exercises at all. ()A.halfB.one quarterC.two-thirdsD.one-third14.Active transportation not only has health benefits, but also ()A.save moneyB.lower waist circumferenceC.reduces the risks of diabetesD.save time15.Walking does great good to people like()A.removing stressesB.avoiding traffic jamsC.increasing health and decreasing costsD.All of the above答案。

My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn’t understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph tome, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I could’t read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class starting at the page, pretending I was reading it—I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the world, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.1 The main difficulty and writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that _____a.she often forget her school reading assignmentsb.she had difficulty reading with comprehensionc.she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammard.she always looked elsewhere when asked to read2The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because______a.she was afraid of being found outb.the reading class was terriblec.she had to do what others were doingd.her mother told her to do so3The writer’s reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____a.she entered Cornell Universityb.she took a course on speed readingc.her mother managed to help her outd.she developed her own way of reading4From her own experience, the writer found that ________a.one’s comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyb.in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyc.one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fastd.many people read fast in order to save time5After reading the passage, we can conclude that the writer wrote the passage in order to_______a.convince the readers of the importance of higher educationb.tell a story in honor of her motherc.give a detailed description of different reading skillsd.illustrate the necessity of fast reading1-5 b a d a dPassage 2If we were asked exactly what were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about if from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied inwriting. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.6. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?a.“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.b.Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.c.A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questionsd.Where there are no written records, there is no history7. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______a.there was nothing worth being written down at that timeb.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordc.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fired.the people there did not know how to write8. “Remembered history” refers to________a.history based on a person’s imaginationb.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthc.songs and dances about the most important eventsd.both b and c9. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______a. it is written downb. no written account is availablec. it proves to be trued. people are interested in it10. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ______a.kept a written record of every past eventb.not burnt their written records in warsc.told exact stories of the most important happeningsd.made more songs and dances6-10 d d d b aPassage 3Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 116; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Nei Hunt, one of the prize-winner, was called “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Nei’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of ￡100, Nei plans to carry on inventing.You can do so much with animation (动画⽚). Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures with appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power”!11.______was carried out recently in Britain.a. A c o m p e t i t i o n a m o n g s c h o o l c h i l d r e n b r > b .
