Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Passage One
There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources (能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.
Another way is energy conservation (节能),which means using energy more efficiently (有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压，抽) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
61、 ______ ways of dealing with the energy problem are mentioned in the passage.
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
62、 The words "geothermal energy" in Paragraph Three mean ______.
A. renewable source B. underground source
C. heat inside the earth D. temperature of the earth
63、 The writer talks about the "special houses" because they ______.
A. show the excellent skills of the builders
B. serve as an example of energy conservation
C. are heated by different sources of energy
D. are warmer than other types of houses
64、 According to the passage, which of the following is renewable energy? ______
A. Oil B. Coral C. Gas D. Heat
65、 At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃? ______
A. One km B. Two km C. Three km D. Four km
Passage Two
Life expectancy is rising in much of the world. But doctors are seeing another trend that is disturbing. Some people are choosing lifestyles that contribute to early death. A new U. S. study looks at four lifestyle choices that prevent people from staying healthy and living longer.
It used to be rare for people to live to 100. But babies born in the U. S. today can hope to live that long. In the 20th century, life expectancy in wealthy nations increased by as much as 30 years. Average life expectancy for Americans is 78. But doctors are seeing people adopt bad habits that can cut their lives short like eating too much or eating too much junk food, exercising too little and smoking cigarettes. These habits increase the risk for cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Washington wanted to find out how many years are lost with these lifestyle choices. "What we found was that high blood pressure, smoking, overweight account for five years of loss of life expectancy in men and about four years in women at the national level." Goodarz Danaei, one of the principal researchers said. The researchers broke down the data into race, income and locale and they found even greater differences. Middle-income whites have the best blood pressure. But Asian-Americans have fewest bad habits and the best health. "They are no getting heart disease because of low blood pressure, they are not getting cancer because they have low risk factors for cancer, including smoking." Danaei said.
The researchers say public health officials could use the study to plan program that will help people make better lifestyle choices.
66、 Some people's early death is the result of their ______.
A. life expectancy B. genes
C. life styles D. hobbies
67、 Babies born nowadays in the U. S. can be expected to ______.
A. live to 100 B. live less than 100

68、 What will be the result of exercising too little and smoking cigarettes? ______
A. They cut people's life short B. They do no harm to people's health
C. They certainly lead to cancer D. They certainly lead to heart disease
69、 High blood pressure, smoking and overweight can lead to ______.
A. four years of loss of life expectancy in men and five years in women
B. five years of loss of life expectancy in men while about four years in women
C. five years of loss of life expectancy in both men and in women
D. nine years of loss of life expectancy in both men and in women
70、 Compared with Asian-Americans, middle-income whites have ______.
A. fewer bad habits B. better health
C. better blood pressure D. lower risk of cancer
Passage Three
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情) when they're in poorly fit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window fight, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than e in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.
Don't forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, and while you're eating it actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of, a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
71、 The text is especially helpful for those who care about ______.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets
72、 Which of the following may make you eat more and put on weight? ______
A. Eating in a warm and beautiful dining room
B. Eating in a dining room with the curtain open
C. Eating in a dining room with every light burning brightly
D. Eating in a dining room with no window or little light
73、 A home environment in blue can help people ______.
A. digest food better B. reduce food intake
C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites
74、 What are people advised to do at mealtimes? ______
A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music
C. Use smaller spoons D. Turn down the lights
75、 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?______.
A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
Passage Four
In New York City, teachers are interested in the different races of their students. They have noticed that young students spend time together with different races. For example, black students have friendships with white students. But the teachers realised that they begin to change their friendships as they get older. Black students form friendships with other black students, and white students have friendships with other white students.
The teachers believe that older children start to become aware of themselves and what they look like. To understand their own identity, older children connect with people who are similar to them. Each group does not seem to keep friendships with other races. There's nothing wrong with this, but the teachers are concerned about the friendships that students are losing with people who are different from them. The teachers wanted to change this, so they tried to help their students make friends with people from different races. To do this, the teachers put students of different races together in the same groups during classroom activities.
It's also important for the teachers to be helpful. Students feel more encouraged to be friendly with those from other races if the classroom environment is welcoming. There must be trust and respect in the classroom, so the teachers created this type of environment. When the teachers tried all of this, they were happy with the results. Students had more friendships with people from different races.
Why do the teachers think this is important to do? Researchers say that young students who have friends that are different from them are more comfortable interacting with people. They also found that these students also have greater education goals than students with similar friends. Having friends of different races will prepare these students to become adults who can work successfully with different kinds of people in the real world.
76、 Why do older students change their friendships? ______
A. Because they don't like to be friends of the same race
B. Because they prefer to make friends with similar people
C. Because they like to make friends with similar age
D. Because they want to be trusted and respected by friends
77、 How do the teachers encourage friendships between students of different races? ______
A. Teaching students to be helpful to each other
B. Teaching students to trust and respect each other
C. Putting students of different races in the same race
D. Organizing parties for students from different races
78、 What can be inferred from the passage? ______
A. Younger students are aware of their race
B. Students most respect and trust their teachers
C. Young black students prefer to make friends with black students
D. Students who make friends with different races are likely to succeed
79、 The underlined word "identify" in Paragraph Two means ______.
A. 特征 B. 名声 C. 地位 D. 种族
80、 What is the passage mainly about? ______
A. Older students are losing friends from different races
B. Older students become more sensitive to choosing friends
C. Teachers are concerned about the older students in school
D. Teachers can help maintain friendships between different races
Ⅲ. Translation
81、Laughter offers a number of positive effects on our health both physically and mentally. First of all, laughter helps strengthen our body and reduce pressure. It can also increase the flexibility of our muscles. What's more, laughter draws our attention from anger despair and other negative feeling, allowing us to see a problem as a challenge rather than a threat. Last but not least, laughter helps us create hope and a better relationship with people around us, which contributes to the development of stable society. That's why we are encouraged to laugh more in life.
