Passage 1

People need to be active to be healthy. Our modern lifestyle and all the conveniences we've

become used to have made us keep a long time sitting, such as sitting around in front of the TV or the computer, riding in the car for even a short trip to the store and using elevators instead of stairs. That's dangerous for our health. Physical inactivity is as dangerous to our health as smoking!

Add up your activities during the day in periods of at least 10 minutes each. Start slowly . .. and

build up. If you're already doing some light activities move up to more moderate ones. A little is good, but more is better if you want to achieve health benefits.

Scientists say accumulate 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy or improve your health. Time needed depends on effort -- as you progress to moderate activities, you can cut down to thirty minutes, four days a week.

Physical activity doesn't have to be very hard to improve your health. This goal can be reached by building physical activities into your daily routine. Just add up in periods of at least ten minutes each throughout the day. After three months of regular physical activity, you will notice a difference --people often say getting started is the hardest part.

B. spending longer hours in activities

C. eating less and less during short periods of time

答案解析：此题目可定位于最后一句话。开始是很难的。选项C是正确的。

Passage 2

We show an amazing tolerance for a form of pollution that is a growing problem: noise. Airplane

traffic is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and

sea, we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world.

We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic responsibility?

The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.

It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a particularly insidious (潜在的 ) form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss.

Our acoustic environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it. Let's start using it responsibly.

答案解析：第二段。作者以问话的形式提出制造噪音的权利和责任感之间的关系,实际上是在说在制造噪音的同时应该伴随有责任感。选项D是正确的。

42、Many people () [单选题] *

A. think that they have the right to use noisy motorcycles or cars(正确答案)

B. think that cars and motorcycles are disturbing

Passage 4

Imagine going to sleep in October and waking up in May! Well, marmots and ground squirrels

stay warm by sleeping all winter. All this time, they do not wake up once. This special kind of sleep is called hibernation. During this sleep, the heart slows down, and the animal breathes more slowly, it doesn't move around, so it uses less energy.

Animals like the marmot and the ground squirrel inhabit the coldest parts of the world. They need special talents to survive in these frigid places. Their furry coats keep them snug when the temperature falls below zero. It often gets this cold in the Arctic, a land that is just below the North Pole.

Before the long winter, some animals eat and eat. After a while, they grow very fat. When the

winter comes, they live on the fat saved up in their bodies. Layers of fat keep an animal warm.

Arctic animals also have other ways to beat the cold. Rabbits in the Arctic, for example, have

very small ears. Small ears keep heat in, while big ears let it out. Small things usually keep heat in.

Have you ever slept in a room that is very small, and noticed how hot it can get?

It rarely gets warm in the Arctic. But although summer seasons there are very short, the sun

shines brightly. Plants seem to spring up before your eyes! Animals such as caribou look forward all year to summer, when they can eat fresh grass again. Every minute of sunshine is important to their lives.

(1)闯红灯的现状;

(2)闯红灯的原因及后果。

答案解析：

The red light running has become one of the most common traffic violations nowadays. It is dangerous.

The causes of that are mostly bad driving habits, such as road rage, impatience to wait for the signal to turn green, or simply distractions while driving. Some red light runners merely ignore the traffic rules and trust the luck. The consequences for these could be the fines red light runners have to pay and the damaged cars that have to be repaired. But the situation could be worse, such as serious injuries and even death.

Thus, everyone should avoid running a red light. It is not only for your own sake but for your family members as well as others on the street.
