     Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment.
Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with
the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than
on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in
the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details
are known about the functions of green spaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are
using these spaces.
     The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been
used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的)
attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for
improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the
conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping
or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has
to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities
as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (強(qiáng)制性的) activities can also
have a recreative aspect.
     The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if
the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during
shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
1. According to the author, the importance of green spaces in the urban environment _______.
A. is still unknown
B. is being closely studied
C. is usually neglected
D. has been fully recognized
2.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.
A. the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood
B. all of the recreation facilities far from home
C. relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D. the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
3.The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of green spaces should be provided _______.
A. in special areas
B. in the suburbs
C. in the neighbourhood of the house
D. in gardens and parks
4. The author says "more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect" to _______.
A. suggest that obligatory activities don't need to serious
B. show that recreation activities are very important
C. show how recreation activities have spread wildly
D. suggest how to offer recreation activities around home
5. Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?
A. One lives the very best standard of living.
B. There are too many distractions outside his home.
C. There are few recreations around his house.
D. One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

     On April 24th , another natural disaster - the oil spill(泄露)in the Gulf of Mexico , happened .
Millions of dollars have been used to help stop the spill and to clean up the animals , beaches , and
land spoiled by the oil . Unfortunately , when many of these chemicals are used , more damage is
caused to the environment , especially to lives in the sea .
     But governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day
so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage .
 Interestingly , the biggest companies in the world produce cars , and the next biggest supply the
gasoline to make them run .
     Of all of today's environmental disasters , an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious .
Although oil is poisonous , it is a natural material . In the end , it breaks down naturally . In 1967
the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000
tones of oil into the ocean . If you go there today , you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever
happened .
     However , we should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil . Governments
should be encouraging research into new technologies , such as cars run by solar power, electricity ,
hydrogen , and so on . Much of this research , in the past , was stopped by the oil , gas , and coal .
If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient(高效的), we would need many fewer tankers
crossing the oceans each year . If this happened , the risks of oil spills would be reduced , and the air
we breathe would be cleaner and fresher , too .

1. What is the passage mainly talking about ?
A. Oil spills pollution                
B. What oil pollution is
C. Oil tanker accidents              
D. How to reduce oil pollution
2. How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe ?
A. By giving a description            
B. By making an argument
C. By giving an example            
D. By drawing a diagram(圖表)
3. What does the underlined word " risk " in Paragraph 2 refer to ?
A. Transportation depending more on oil

C. Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea
D. More environmental damage being caused
4. Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank according to the passage ?
A. We should build safer tankers in the near future
B. We should develop new technologies to cut oil use
C. Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines

     Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have. It
is important to remember that body needs proper care in order to
be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay
in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise
regularly.
     Proper nutrition is important for good health. Your body
cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of "fuel".
Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of
foods high in protein,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables
and fruits are very important because they provide necessary
  vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to
be overweight.
     Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you
don't get enough sleep,you feel tired and easily get angry. You
have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep
may even result in a change of personality (個性). Be sure to
  allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you
  do,your body will feel strong and refreshed,and your mind will be
sharp.
     Fmally ,get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body strong
and prevents you from putting on weight. It also improves your
  heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program,you will
  probably increase your life-span (壽命) . Any kind of exercise is
good. Most sports are very good for keeping the body in good
shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on, are
  good examples. Sports are not only good for your body,but they are
enjoyable and interesting too.
      If everybody were to eat the right foods,get plenty of sleep
and exercise regularly,the world would be a happier and healthier
place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.
1. The passage mainly tells us that _____.  
A. how we can keep fit

     Hi, boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.
     First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you'd
better eat something different; if you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients your body

body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel
comfortable and make you fat.

     Edward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us
on a tour of the world's natural resources (資源). How are they used? What has been lost? What
remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to
understand fully the biodiversity (生物多樣性) of our earth.
     Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (環(huán)境) protection, Henry David
Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilson will use such
comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home
over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able
to support us in the future?
     Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our
agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species (物種) are the basis of our food
supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten
thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural
homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.
     At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the
environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.
1.We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______.
A. the environment for plants
B. the biodiversity of our earth
C. the waste of natural resources
D. the importance of human values
2. How many species are most important to our present food supply?
A. Twenty.  
B. Eighty.
C. One hundred.  
D. Ten thousand.
3.Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to ______.
A. learn how to farm scientifically
B. build homes for some dying species
C. make it clear what to eat
D. use more species for food
4. We can infer that the text is ________.
A. a description of natural resources
B. a research report
C. a book review
D. an introduction to a scientist

     Northern Europeans spend a lot of time in their cold and cloudy winters planning their summer holidays.
They are proud of their healthy color when they return home after the holiday. But they also know that a
certain amount of sunshine is good for their bodies and general health.
     In ancient Greece people knew about the curing powers of the sun, but this knowledge was lost. At the
end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor, Niels Finsen, began to study the effect of sunlight on certain
diseases, especially diseases of the skin. He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in man-made
produced rays. Sunlight began to play a more important part in curing sick people.
     A Swiss doctor, Auguste Rollier, made full use of the sun in his hospital at Leysin. Leysin is a small village
high up in the Alps. The position is important, the rays of the sun with the greatest healing power are the
infra-red (紅外線的) and ultraviolet (紫外線的) rays; but ultra-violet rays are too easily lost in fog and the
polluted air near industrial towns. Dr. Rollier found that sunlight, fresh air and good food cure a great many
diseases. He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis(結(jié)核病) with his"sun-cure".
     There were a large number of children in Dr. Rollier's hospital. He decided to start a school where sick
children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn. It was not long before his school was full.
     In winter, wearing only shorts, socks and boots, the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the
hospital. They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school books. Their teacher led them over the
snow until they reached a slope (斜坡)which faced the sun and was free from cold winds. There they set out
their desks and chairs, and school began.
     Although they wore hardly any clothes, Rollier's pupils were very seldom cold. That was because their
bodies were full of energy which they got from the sun. But the doctor knew that sunshine can also be
dangerous. If, for example, tuberculosis is attacking the lungs, unwise sunbathing may do great harm.
     Today there is not just one school in the sun. There are several in Switzerland, and since Switzerland is
not the only country which has the right conditions, there are similar schools in other places.
1. According to the passage, when did people began to realize sunlight played a more important part in
    the treatment of disease?
A. From ancient times.
B. At the end of the nineteenth century.
C. Not until this century.
D. Only very recently.
2. Why are a Danish doctor and a Swiss doctor mentioned in the second and third paragraphs? 
A. Because they both made use of sunlight to treat illness.
B. Because they were the first people who used sunlight for treatment.
C. Because they were both famous European doctors.
D. Because they used sunlight in very different ways.
3. Dr Rollier set up a "sun-cure" school probably for the reason that _____.
A. most children could stay in his hospital
B. children could study while being treated
C. the school was expected to be full of pupils
D. the school was high up in the mountains
4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?
A. "Sun-cure" schools are becoming popular everywhere.
B. Switzerland is the only country where "sun-cure" schools are popular.
C. Proper Conditions are necessary for the running of a"sun-cure" school.
D. "Sun-cure" schools are found in countries

     You might think tha t"global warming" means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature But rising
sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤離) of an island nation-the citizens of Tuvalu will
have to leave their homeland.
     During the 20th century,sea level rose 8-12 inches. As a result.Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of
salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water.
     Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered
an unusaually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years.Many scientists connect higher surface water
temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damagingtorms.
     Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an
international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (導(dǎo)致溫室效
應(yīng)的氣體排放), which are a main cause of global warming. "By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has
effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived
for thousands of years," Laupepa told the BBC.
     Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
      Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影響的) to rising sea levels.Maumoon Gayoon,
president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an
"endangered nation".

     Four common bad habits combined-smoking, drinking too much, inactivity and poor diet- can age you
by 12 years, sobering new research suggests.
     The findings are from study that tracked nearly 5 000 British adults for 20 years, and they highlight yet
another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
     Overall, 300 people studied had all four unhealthy behaviors. Among them, 90 died during the study, or
30 percent. Among the 400 healthiest people with none of the four habits, 8 percent of them died.
     The risk behaviors were., smoking tobacco; drowning more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men
and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating
fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily.
     These habits combined substantially increased the risk of death and made people who engaged in them
seem 12 years older than people in the healthiest group, said lead researcher Elisabeth Kvaavik of the
University of Oslo.
     The healthiest group included never-smokers and those who had quit; women who had fewer than two
drinks daily and men who had fewer than three; those who got at least two hours of physical activity weekly;
and those who ate fruits and vegetables at least three times daily.
     "You don't need to be extreme" to be in the healthy category, Kvaavik said. "These behaviors add up, so
together it's quite good. It should be possible for most people to manage to do it."
     The US government generally recommends at least 4 cups of fruits or vegetables daily for adults,
depending on age and activity level, and about 2 hours of exercise weekly.
1. What problem may you have, if you smoke often and eat few fruits and vegetables?
A. You would have difficulty in walking.
B. You would feel tired, lack of energy.
C. You may look older than you really are.
D. You may face the risk of death of cancer.
2. How many of the 400 healthiest people with none of the four habits died?
A. 32.
B. 24.
C. 56.
D. 120.
3. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. Suggestions to smokers.
B. The results of four bad life habits.
C. The findings of a new research.
D. The recommends from the US government.

     A new study has revealed that non-smokers who repeatedly breathe in others' tobacco smoke are more
likely to have some degree of hearing loss. Researchers studied a total of 3307 adults aged between 20 and
69. The degree of hearing loss in each ear was assessed by testing the ability to hear pure tones over a range
of frequencies from 500 Hz (low) to 8000 Hz (high).
     Men, those who were older, and those with diabetes (糖尿病) were significantly more likely to have high
frequency hearing loss. And this was true of those who were former smokers and those who had never
smoked. But even after taking account of these factors, both former and passive smoking were associated
with damaged hearing.
     Former smokers were significantly more likely to have damaged hearing. The prevalence (流行程度) of
low to mid frequency hearing loss among this group was 14 percent. And almost half (over 46 percent) had
high frequency hearing loss. Although the risk was not as strong among those who had never smoked,
almost one in 10 (8.6 percent) had low to mid frequency hearing loss and one in four (26.6 percent) had high
frequency hearing loss.
     And the stronger findings among former smokers suggested that continued passive smoking in this group,
even at low levels, could continue the progression of high frequency hearing loss that began when they were
active smokers, say the authors.
     "Further research is required to determine whether passive smoking increases the effect of noise exposure
and aging on hearing," they conclude."If this finding is independently confirmed, then hearing loss can b
e added to the growing list of health consequences associated with exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke."
The study was published online in Tobacco Control.
1. Who are most likely to damage their hearing?
A. Those who had never smoked.
B. Former smokers with diabetes.
C. Non-smokers who are older.
D. Teenagers exposed to noise.
2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 3 to ______.
A. explain the hearing test results
B. assess passive smoke exposure
C. indicate the degree of damaged hearing
D. measure the range of hearing frequency
3. According to the last paragraph, passive smoking ______.
A. can only cause hearing loss
B. increases risks of noise exposure
C. weakens the process of aging
D. may do more damage to health
4. What can be inferred from the text?
A. We should try to avoid contact with tobacco smoke.
B. More research on smoking is being carried out.
C. Hearing loss may lead to many social problems.
D. Active smokers are in great need of help.
5. The text is meant to ______.
A. introduce a new study
B. advise giving up smoking
C. arouse attention to hearing
D. show concern for non-smokers
