Art experts（專家） say that the movement began in New York in the 1960s．Young adults would use paint in specialcans to put their words and other images on walls and cars （16）D the city．One well-known street artist is Swoon．She （17）B paper images of people and puts them on walls．Swoon didn't start her career as a street artist．She studied art，but（18）A time went on，she got bored with the works she saw in museums or galleries（美術(shù)館）．The people in New York enjoy Swoon's strong and interesting （19）A．
Street artists do their work for a reason．Some of them choose street art because it is （20）C to the people．Some artists try to express their opinions in their works．Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements because it gives the deep impression（印象）and energy．The New York store Saks Fifth Avenue （21）B used a street artist's design for their shop windows and shopping bags．

8．Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture．In Europe for example，coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee．On the other hand，places like this were not as common in North America in the past．Instead，people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends．The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks coffee shops spread across the country．
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971in downtown Seattle，Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans．The coffee shop's business did well，and by 1981there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle．
Things really began to change for the company in 1981．That year，Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks．Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment．He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers，which caused his great interest．Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did．In 1982，the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing（市場營銷）．
In 1983，Schultz traveled to Italy．The special environment of the espresso （濃咖啡） bars there caught his eyes．Back in the USA，Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual，and customers everywhere seemed to like it．Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well．Today，there are more than 16，000Starbucks coffee shops all over the world．
However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems．In fact，many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years．On the one hand，this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area．On the other hand，stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the"feel the same everywhere"environment offered by Starbucks．

25．The underlined word"ran"in Paragraph 3probably means"B"．
A．moved        
B．managed        
C．loved    
D．used
26．According to the passage，which is the right order for the following sentences？C
a．This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company．
b．He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it．
c．Howard SchultzC noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers．
d．Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA．
A．a(chǎn)-d-c-b       
B．a(chǎn)-d-b-c       
C．d-c-b-a        
D．d-c-a-b
27．Why did so many Starbucks close in some countries？D
A．All of the coffee tastes the same．
B．The coffee in these places was too expensive．
C．The people in these countries didn't drink coffee．
D．There were too many coffee shops in one place．

7．Could smells affect your lifespan？Female fruit flies（果蠅） without the ability to smell food live longer than other fruit flies．The sense of smell may be connected to the cellular ageing （細胞老化） process in many other living things-even people．Such connection has recently been found in both worms and flies．For example，scientists found that removing fruit flies'ability to smell made them live nearly 20percent longer than flies with a sense of smell．
They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing，as nutrition（營養(yǎng)） and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things．To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan，they removed flies'ability to smell carbon dioxide，which is produced by some fly foods．They left the rest of the smelling system．
This action had no effect on male flies，but the females lived 30percent longer than normal．Removing the ability to smell CO₂ may stop flies getting information about food availability．This could mean that food is not enough，causing processes that encourage flies to survive．Scientists found that the female flies stored extra fat and that both males and females immune（免疫） to CO₂ were stronger against the stress than normal flies．It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO₂．
Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans．But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food．

34．From the passage，we learn that what scientists found is toC．
A．show there is the best way to make lifespan longer
B．tell us we should remove our smell ability to live long
C．show the sense of smell can affect the cellular ageing process
D．explain fruit flies without ability to smell can live longer
35．Scientists do some researches to proveD．
A．the immune system of flies to CO₂
B．the connections between nutrition and lifespan
C．the importance of food smells to our humans
D．the connections between food smells and lifespan
36．According to scientists'opinion，we can see thatB．
A．male flies in general can live longer than female ones
B．flies without ability to smell is encouraged to store extra energy
C．both male and female flies can live longer without the ability to smell
D．flies without ability to smell can also get information about food availability
37．Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole？B
A．CO₂has few effects on female flies．
B．The sense of smell might have an effect on living things．
C．The sense of smell is necessary to humans'health．
D．Female fruit flies can always live longer than male flies．

6．One of the most widely accepted assumptions （假設(shè)） in our culture is that if you exercise，youwill lose weight．I exercise all the time，but I still have got fat．Why doesthis happen？
    More than 45 million Americans now belongto a health club，up from 23 million in 1993．We spend some $19 billion a yearon sports．Of course，some people join the health club but never go．Still，asone main study-the Minnesota Heart Survey-found，more of us at least say weexercise regularly．
    However，the number of fat people has risengreatly：a third of Americans are fat，and another third count as overweight．Yes，it's highly possible that those of us who regularly go to the sportscenter would weigh even more if we exercised less．But like many other people，I get hungry after I exercise，so I often eat more on the days I exercise thanon the days I don't．Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight？
    People believe that exercise is importantfor weight control is actually rather new．Doctors used to advise not toexercise too much，particularly for older adults who might hurt themselves．Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise because peoplewho regularly exercise are at a lower risk for most illness，especially heartproblems．They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses，but the roleof exercise in weight loss has been completely overestimated （評估過高）．
"In general，for weight loss，exercise ispretty useless，"says an exercise researcher．

D．they eat more after they exercise
33．What may be thebest title for this passage？B
A．Overweight Is Not Good for Your Health  
B．Exercise Won't Make You Thin 
C．Health Club Is Part of American Lifestyle           
D．Fatness Is a Social Problem in America．

5．If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America，you flyover forests for thousands of kilometers．These great forests are the seas oftrees．There are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plantsand animals．However，the world's forests are getting smaller all the time．Weare cutting down the trees because we need wood，and we need more farm land aswell．Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years．What will happen if theydisappear？If we cut down our forests，a lot of plants and animals willdisappear from the world．In a lot of places the new farm land will soon looklike the old deserts，for example，crops will not grow there，what's worse，it will not rain very often，and the weather will get very hot．Perhaps the climate of the world will change，which will be dangerous foreveryone in the world．That is why we must take care of our forests．
