3.Biking is an amazing family activity,but finding a route that can accommodate a wide-range of ages can be a challenge.
Lee McNeil and his family are crazy about biking.They have seven children,from 4to 24years old.When looking for a route,they look for enough protection from traffic,good surface condition,easy access and interesting views.
With that in mind,here are some great routes for biking with your whole family,as are suggested by McNeil.
Iron Horse Trail
This is the McNeil family's favourite ride.The route is 26 miles and goes through the 2.l mile Snoqualmie Tunnel.
"Beautiful views,the thrill the tunnel,and places to stop and watch the rock climbers make it special,"McNeil said."All our kids have taken their turn at braving the black tunnel bravely for the first time,which we celebrate it at the end of the ride."
How to get there:If you prefer,check http://bit.ly/Mlt9y4 for more information.
Centennial Trail
The Centennial Trail runs for 23miles from Snohomish to Bryant.The trail is wide and smooth,and is safe for kids as it is off the roads.A nice stop is Lake Cassidy east of Marysville.A dock on the lake is fun to explore.It also has picnic tables and washrooms for a convenient lunch time stop.
How to get there:The trail can be accessed from a number of trailheads.For a map,go to http://bit.ly/L5qCeY.
Cascade Trail
The Cascade Trail follows an abandoned Burlington Northern railroad grade for 23miles between Sedro-Woolley and Concrete.Because it's on a railroad grade,the slope is gentle and it makes for an easy family ride.
McNeil said it is a"beautiful ride up the Skagit Valley,with lots of places to watch wildlife along the river."
How to get there:Go to http://bit.ly/PR4wOWto  see a map showing the trail,parking areas and bus stops.

13.Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test?Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology?Sure you do?And who wouldn't?But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time.Here is why…
36.BThe task will be still the same.It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it.As the deadline gets closer and closer,the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work.And the stress increases.Now not only do you have to write that paper,you have to do it under great pressure.
37.FBefore you start,it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished.But you know what?You're probably miscalculating.Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought.Result?You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to.Things are guaranteed-100 percent-to get better.
38.EIf you leave your work before the night before it's due,you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor.Professors regularly give advice-or at least a few useful tips-during office hours.Unfortunately,though,they don't usually hold office hours at midnight,so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.
39.CEver wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due?It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue,or doing the research,for two weeks.No,not every waking moment,but at least some of the time.After all,the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking.When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute,your ideas are half-baked.And your professor will know it.
40.AIf you put things off at the last minute,you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks.It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness,family problems,computer breakdowns,trouble at work,and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test.If you keep delaying,you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse (不利的) effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

A.Time can run out.
B.Tomorrow won't be better.
C.Ideas need time to develop.
D.Your professor will be impatient.
E.You blow off your chances for help.
F.You are probably overestimating (高估) the pain.
G.The problem won't be solved.

14.Twelve years ago,Rachel Miller was lost when it came to her son John.The 7-year-old was seriously disabled because of his autism(自閉癥).Unable to speak,he withdrew from people at school and,worse still,from his family.
In March 2003,Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock,a one-on-one therapist(治療師)for people with autism.Hancock was hired to be John's companion.The two would go people-watching at the mall in Stuart,F(xiàn)lorida,on the weekends.Hancock chatted throughout their trips,even though John couldn't talk back.
Their relationship developed when Hancock introduced John to the Special Olympics in Martin County.Whenever John was running or bing active,he was smiling.When John turned 12,Hancock introduced him to track at the Special Olympics.For the first three years,the air just observed the sport by watching practices and events.Hancock worked daily with John,showing him everything,including where to sit,stand and walk,so he would understand the flow of the events.

John ended up winning the gold medal for the 800.Sports completely changed John,and Miller said that is because of Hancock."A person with a disability can feel hopeless and isolated(孤獨(dú)的),and I think that can happen to parents,too.Jeff probably saw that with us,"Miller said,thinking back to when Hancock first met their family.

11.In the past,Americans used to think of the United States as a"melting pot"of immigrants(移民) from many different cultures to the United States,their old ways melted away and they became part of a completely new culture.The United States was likened to a big pot of soup,which had bits of flavor(味道,滋味) from each different culture.All of the different cultures were so well blended(混合,摻雜) together that it formed its own new flavor.?
Today,Americans realize that the simple"melting pot"theory is less true.Instead,different groups of people keep many of their old customs.Often groups of Americans from the same culture band together.They live together in distinctive communities,such as"Chinatowns"or"Little Italy"-areas populated almost exclusively(惟一,僅) by Americans of a single ethnic group-which can be found in many large American cities.Living in ethnic neighborhoods gives new Americans the security of sharing a common language and common traditions with people who understand them.?
In time,however,people from different backgrounds mix together.They also mix with native-born Americans.Old traditions give way to new customs.The children of immigrants are often eager to adopt new,American ways.They often want to dress in American?fashions,to speak English and to follow?American?social customs.By one estimate(估計),about 80 percent of European immigrants marry outside their own ethnic groups by the time they reach the third generation.Third generation means that their great-grandparents were immigrants.Yet as successive generations become more"Americanized",they often retain significant elements of their ethnic country.

28.What does the text mainly talk about?D
A.The American way of life.
B.Immigrants and native-born Americans.
C.Old traditions and new customs.
D.The multi-cultural society of the United States.
29.Why does the author mention"Chinatowns"in the second paragraph?A
A.To give an example that many people keep their old customs.
B.To show that Chinese cherish their old traditions.
C.To contrast(對比) the Chinese way of life with that of the Italian's.
D.To give an example of the Americanization.?
30.The underlined word"ethnic"in the last sentence most probably meansB.
A.moral
B.national
C.cultural
D.social
31.The underlined word"Americanized"generally meansD.

8.Pubs have been the cornerstone of British society for hundreds of years:Over the years,British Pubs have developed many traditions.Had you visited a pub in the 1990s,yon might have noticed the ringing of the bell around 11p.m.,signaling that the pub was about to close.(36)E
During World War I,the British Government decided that pubs must close at nine thirty in the evening (later to change to 11p.m.).(37)BRinging a bell was a clear signal to let everyone know that the  time was about to close.
(38)GBefore that depending on what kind of entertainment a place offered,there was a different license,for example a cinema needed a different license form a theater.A pub needed a different license from a night cafe.The different licenses that existed at the time were combined into one.Additionally,every three years the person responsible for the pub had to renew their license which was valid for only one  location.This period of validity was extended to ten years and also the license was able to transfer from one location to another.(39)A It also became much easier and cheaper for owners to put on entertainment such as music bands.Cutting down on needless paperwork was predicted to save l.97billion pounds over ten years!One of the biggest effects,however,was that ninety years after the 11p.m.closing time was introduced,pubs were able to decide when they would close.(40)D

A.Therefore,it became easier to apply for and process applications.
B.This was to minimize the risk of tired workers and potential loss in productivity.
C.British troops were fighting fierce battles with their enemies.
D.And they can have more flexibility in terms of opening hours.
E.How did this come about?
F.Do you want to visit a British pub?
G.Later,however,there was a major shake up in the licensing laws.

15.Some unwelcome visitors from North America have been turning up in the waters off the coast of Great Britain.North American lobsters (龍蝦) have been found in the North Sea (between Great Britain and Northwest Europe),far from their own habitat.The lobsters usually live along the eastern coast of Canada and the United States.It is impossible that the lobsters could have made the 5,600-kilometre journey on their own.They were probably brought to Britain and then got away from containers.Some of the lobsters that were caught had elastic bands (松緊帶) holding their legs shut,like lobsters that are kept in containers in stores or restaurants.Many may have been"set free"from some ships passing through the area.Sometimes passengers order a live lobster from a tank in the dining room and then ask the waiter to throw it overboard instead of cooking it.According to official records,26 North American lobsters have been caught in waters off Great Britain since 1988.However,it is believed many more have been found but not reported.It is against the law to let North American lobsters come into British waters.If they settle down in European waters,it would be bad for the local lobsters.The two live in the same place and eat the same food.But North American lobsters are larger,stronger and more aggressive (好斗的) than European lobsters,and they produce young more quickly.As a result,they could take food and space away from the local lobsters,and from other types of shellfish that live in the same area.These lobsters may also carry diseases that could harm the local lobsters.

29.Those unwelcome lobstersD.
A.could travel 5,600 km a day on their own
B.used to live in waters off Great Britain
C.would soon disappear in British waters
D.might have escaped on the way to Britain
30.What can we learn about European lobsters?C
A.They are growing too fast to be kept under control.
B.Shellfish often take away their food and space.
C.They are easily harmed by North American lobsters.
D.People become ill easily if they eat these lobsters.
31.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely toB.

13.Parents Model Healthy Eating
It should come as no surprise that the more stressed parents are at work,the greater the burden on their family is.(71)E    After all,the more time parents spend working,the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.
For years,most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored.They didn't look at the family as a whole.(72)F  It adds a new wrinkle to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition.
Moms'work related stress is still a central factor in how well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking.(73)A  The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress,their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week,and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables,more fast food,and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.
It's worth noting that the study looked mainly at low income families who belonged to ethnic or minority groups.(74)D   But the implications are wide ranging.
  (75)B  Teaching kids,especially teenagers,to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals,instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave,could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improves their eating habits.

A.But dad's work related stress has a large impact,too.
B.As to family nutrition,the entire family plays a role even kids.
C.Yet,the kids'stress may affect the families'nutrition,too.
D.So the findings don't necessarily apply directly to other types of families.
E.It's also probably not a surprise that this can negatively affect a family's nutrition.
F.However,a recent study does and look at the role of fathers in particular.
G.It is parents who give their kids a good model to develop a good eating habit.
