A
Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中風）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.
56. The text mainly discusses the relationship between ______ .
A. heart problems and air quality B. heart problems and exercising
C. heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and fatty food
57. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ .
A. relatively high B. extremely low
C. relatively low D. extremely high
58. What can we learn from the text?
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.
D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
59. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _______.
A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain

B
When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.
It goes like this: You can't take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We'd take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the train, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn't like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom's friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just lightrail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.
On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestrut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where's the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
I'm writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn't try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.
60．Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?
A．Having a car ride.
B．Taking the train twice.
C．Buying more than one toy.
D．Touring the historic district.
61．According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
A．Building confidence in herself.
B．Reducing her use of private cars.
C．Developing her sense of direction.
D．Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
62．The underlined word “paralyzed”(in Para.5) is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．displayed B．justified C．ignored D．ruined
63．Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?
A．Airplane. B．Subway. C．Train. D．Car.

C
Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver, the spirit of generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable: A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Cafe has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy, delicious lunches six days a week. Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
“It's based on trust, and it's working all right,” says coowner Brad Birky, who started the cafe in 2006 with his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there.
“We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their circumstances,”Birky says. SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.
The cafe now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007, one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys.“He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup,”says Birky.
64. What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
A. They refused to have volunteers.
B. They offered low quality food.
C. They provided customers with a good environment.
D. They closed down because of poor management.
65. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.
B. More volunteers will go to New Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C. Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
D. The lunch menu has remained the same since the cafe was started.
66. The author's attitude towards running such a cafe is ________.
A. unfavorable B. Approving C. doubtful D. cautious

Wilderness
“In wilderness (荒野) is the preservation of the world.”This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(開發(fā))brings to such landscapes(景觀)is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rain forests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
67．John Sauven holds that ________.
A．many people value nature too much
B．exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C．wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D．the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
68．What is the main idea of Para.3?
A．The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B．Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C．Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D．All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
69．What is the author's attitude towards this debate?
A．Objective. B．Disapproving.
C．Sceptical. D．Optimistic.
70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Subpoint(次要點)
C：Conclusion

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed time to time. 71 Some ways of dealing with stress 一like screaming or hitting someone一don't solve (解決) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 72 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 73
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 74 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暫時的).Remember stress does go away,
especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 75
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways.
D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E. You need to figure out what the problem is.
F. And don't forget about your friends.
G. Then, find a way to calm down.

Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案及解析
21.D 本題考查冠詞。第一空Information Age前加定冠詞the為固定說法；第二空根據(jù)句意“據(jù)說我們正生活在信息時代，一個充滿新發(fā)現(xiàn)和巨大變化的時代。”用不定冠詞。故答案選D。
22.D 考查賓語從句的連接詞。此處he thought為插入語，what作賓語從句的主語。句意：那位老板拒絕以不滿意的價錢賣車。
23. A 考查倒裝句。此處seldom為否定副詞，置于句首時，主句須部分倒裝。又因時間狀語表一段時間，故用現(xiàn)在完成時。
24.B考查非謂語動詞的用法。此處asked為過去分詞作賓補。句意：在工作面試中，應聘者常常發(fā)現(xiàn)被問一些意想不到的問題，有些問題很難回答。
25.D考查定語從句的關(guān)系詞。此處是介詞前置的定語從句。句意：你給送你禮物的親戚發(fā)了感謝信了嗎？
26. A 考查副詞詞義辨析。此處highly意為“非常，高度地”；reasonably意為“合理地，明智地”；strongly意為“強勁地，堅定地，強烈地”；naturally意為“自然地，天生地”。因此，在這里應用highly“非�！边@個副詞。
27．C考查名詞詞義辨析。解題關(guān)鍵：make any difference意為：關(guān)系重大，起重要作用。句意：“那很重要嗎？”“是的，很關(guān)鍵�！�
28.D 考查情態(tài)動詞較為特殊的用法。句意：我十分震驚，那個孩子竟然對他的父母說了那樣的話。此處should意為：竟然。
29.B考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)答語的后半句可知，現(xiàn)在Kevin正在等待測試的成績，參加測試為一個過去的動作，應該使用一般過去時態(tài)。因此，正確答案為B選項。
30.C 考查不定代詞的用法。句中I had thought是插入成分，one代替a new life。也可以用關(guān)系代詞which，指代a new life。
31. C 考查同位語從句。此處the idea是抽象名詞，后面的同位語從句說明其內(nèi)容。句意：坦誠為善良服務(wù)，這個想法有許多哲理。
32. B 考查動詞短語辨析。句意為：很高興你能來親自負責這起事件。B項意為“負責”，符合句意；A項意為“導致”，C項意為“向……求助”，D項意為“參考”，都與語意不符。
33. B 考查強調(diào)句型。句子雖然比較長，但是其主干為強調(diào)句型，是對“80 years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic”進行了強調(diào)，由此可知，空白處應該填寫that。因此，正確答案為B選項。
34.B 考查虛擬語氣。根據(jù)主語的謂語動詞可知題干是表示與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣，從句謂語動詞用had done，選B。
35．B考查情景交際。句意為：“為什么不在休息間隙去喝杯茶？”“不，我沒心情�！盇項意為“不，我沒零錢�！盋項為“不，我不渴。”D項意為“不，這次我請客�！备鶕�(jù)句意應選B。
【文章大意】 文章通過一個故事告訴我們，尋找一些想法是簡單的，但是將這些想法付諸實踐卻是另外一回事。
36．A 考查形容詞辨析。由下文對這個傳統(tǒng)的描述來看，這個傳統(tǒng)很獨特，所以四個詞中只有strange (奇怪的)符合語境。語境為：很久很久以前，有一個小村莊有著一個奇怪的傳統(tǒng)。每到年初，已成年的男孩就會拿到一塊地和資金(自己動手)去修建自己的房屋。hopeful 有希望的；literary 文藝的，書本的；cultural文化的。
37．C 考查動詞詞義辨析。這里指的是在冬天到來前就要完成房屋的修建。所以用complete，意思是：完成。倒數(shù)第三段 “By fall, Marc had finished his home．”中有同義詞復現(xiàn)：finish。
38.A 考查動詞詞義辨析。 倒數(shù)第三段“The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 51 ．The villagers mourned for him．”告訴我們，由于Paul修建的房子不好，被凍死了，人們都來哀悼他，但沒有幫助他度過寒冬，由此可以看出，在這一奇怪的傳統(tǒng)中，別人是不能提供幫助的，所以選help。
39．D考查語境選詞。上一段告訴我們，成年的男孩是在每年的年初(At the beginning of every year)拿到一塊地和資金的，四個選項中只有spring(春天)符合語境。
40．B 考查動詞辨析。對應第一段提到的was given，所以這里選receive意思是：收到。exchange 交換；recognize 認出，承認；advise 建議，忠告。
41．C考查語境話選詞。前文告訴我們，他們要建的是房子，這是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和房主交談以獲得如何建好房子的建議。文中有多處同義詞home的復現(xiàn)。
42．D考查名詞詞義辨析。每一位房主都很樂意提供給他們(關(guān)于如何建好房子的)建議。所以選advice�？梢詮摹癝oon he had so many great ideas that he began to 45 some of them．”中的idea得到啟示。
43．B 考查動詞辨析。Marc 參觀了幾棟房子，把房主們提供的建議搜集起來，所以選gather。意思是：搜集。44空后的“continued collecting more ideas”有同義詞復現(xiàn)。expect 期待，預料；create 創(chuàng)造；understand理解。
44．C 考查副詞辨析�？疾閯釉~辨析。Marc開始建房，而Paul 卻仍在繼續(xù)搜集如何建房的建議，兩者之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用however。
45． A 考查動詞辨析。由于搜集的好的修建房屋的方法太多了，以至于都忘了一部分，所以用forget。 believe 認為，相信；replace代替；doubt懷疑。
46． C 考查連詞辨析�！癏e had several false starts”和“his home gradually rose from his land”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用but。
47． D考查動詞辨析。倒數(shù)第二段 “Each year, Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better．”中的make his own home look better，說的就是他所修的房子可以在建成后隨時改良，所以用improve。repair 修理、修補； rebuild重建；sell賣。
48．A 考查名詞辨析。第二段的“In each village, they found the nicest 41 and talked to the owners．”可知，應該選conversations，意思是：談話、會話。
49．B 考查動詞辨析。冬天來了，第一場雪使Paul意識到建房子所剩的時間不多了，所以自己便急匆匆地往回趕，所以選rush，意思是：沖、奔，急匆匆地趕。
50. A 考查形容詞辨析。由后面的“The first winter storm destroyed his home”可以看出，由于動工時間較晚，時間緊，他修的房子不牢固，所以選weak，意思是：不牢固的。funny滑稽的；small小的；amazing令人吃驚的。

53. D 考查動詞辨析。raise 養(yǎng)育。句意為：(后來)他成了村里的領(lǐng)導，養(yǎng)育了一家人，幸福滿意的生活著。如果把 A 項后加上up，也是正確的。

55. D考查動詞辨析。這里指的是最好的想法的“應用”，所以選apply。
A【文章大意】眾所周知，攝入過多脂肪，缺乏鍛煉以及長期吸煙會增加患心臟病的風險，但最新的研究表明，另外一項我們平時不注意的東西更使我們患心臟病的風險大大增加，那就是我們所呼吸的空氣。
56．A 主旨大意題。根據(jù)本文主題句——第一自然段的最后一句可知本文大意是說明空氣質(zhì)量和心臟病發(fā)病率之間的關(guān)系，選A。

58．D 事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一句可知本題選D。
59．A 寫作意圖題。本文是一篇說明文，主要意思是說明人們所呼吸的空氣和心臟病的發(fā)病率之間的關(guān)系，由此可知作者的寫作目的是告知人們一個事實，故本題選A。

62．D 詞意猜測題。paralyze使不能正常工作，此處根據(jù)句意為“破壞，毀壞”。母親幫“我”解開其中的奧秘，否則“我”當初的嘗試會遭到破壞。由后面的幾個問句即可得出其情景意義。其他選項不符合句意。

65. A 細節(jié)理解題。從第二段最后一句我們知道，那些無法支付飯費的人可以在這里打工。其他選項文章中并沒有提及。
66. B 觀點態(tài)度題。作者在最后一段提到And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading，由此我們知道，作者覺得這是慷慨之舉，并且這樣的精神在發(fā)揚光大，因此是持贊成的態(tài)度。
D【文章大意】本文是一篇關(guān)于荒野保護的文章。作者從兩個方面論述了人們的觀點，并對于這一論題提出了自己的看法。
67. B 細節(jié)理解題。作者在第二段中主要論述不應該開發(fā)荒野的觀點，并通過John Sauven 的視角“and the danger exploitation(開發(fā)) brings to such landscapes(景觀) is real.”予以說明。所以正確答案應為B。
68. C 細節(jié)理解題。作者在第三段主要論述可以開發(fā)荒野的觀點，并通過Lee Lane 的視角“But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation.”說明荒野可以開發(fā)。所以選C。
69. A 推理。 作者從正反兩方面對荒野開發(fā)進行了論述，謹慎地發(fā)表了看法，所以態(tài)度比較客觀，故選A。objective客觀的；disapproving反對的；sceptical懷疑的；optimistic樂觀的。
70. D 文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。 本文作者首先提出中心論點，然后從正反兩個方面進行了論述，然后回到自己的觀點，最后對自己的觀點做了進一步的闡釋。因此D為最佳答案。
【文章大意】本文介紹了幾種釋放壓力的方式，可以讓人們在有壓力的時候能夠感覺好一些。
71. C考查語境理解及主題句。根據(jù)后文可知：不同的人減壓的方式不同，是因為他們感受壓力的方式不同。
72.F考查上下文的語境理解。前文提到和你信賴的人談話，比如：父母、親戚；減壓求助的另一種方式就是向朋友求助，這里朋友和父母、親戚是并列關(guān)系。
73. A考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)前文可知：有了壓力和心情郁悶的時候，不要你一個人扛著。Don't take it out on yourself. 那么就得向別人求助。
74. E考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)后文：你即使不能全部解決所有的問題，但你可以解決一部分�？芍拔膽谐鰡栴}清單，知道有多少問題。
75. D考查上下文的語境理解。根據(jù)前文：你自己會感到越來越好甚至更輕快，可知后文也應該是好的感覺。故選D。
短文改錯
1．visit→visited 根據(jù)時間狀語last month可知本句時態(tài)是一般過去時，故動詞用過去式。
2．but→and/so 前后文是承接或因果關(guān)系，故連詞用and或so。
3．to去掉 anywhere是指地點的副詞，其前不用介詞。
4．comfortably→comfortable 修飾名詞doubleroom應用形容詞。
5．were→was what引導主語從句，其謂語動詞應用單數(shù)形式，故系動詞were改為was。
6．for→with 動詞share與介詞with構(gòu)成搭配，意思是“和某人分享”。
7．taking→taken take與所修飾詞photos是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作后置定語。
8．dish→dishes 由several修飾，名詞應用復數(shù)。
9．such后加a such修飾的hotel是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，需加不定冠詞a。
10．me→mine 雙重所有格的構(gòu)成是“of ＋名詞性物主代詞或名詞所有格”。

Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park.The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds singing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught my eye. A young couple in a boat were eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. What's worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, totally ignoring the noticeable sign “No Littering” nearby. What a shame!
Such behavior left me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did, the lake will be severely polluted and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think all of us should mind our behavior in public places. Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.
