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 (中风）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(开发)brings to such landscapes(景观)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(次要点)
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 (解决) 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(暂时的).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 本题考查冠词。第一空Information Age前加定冠词the为固定说法；第二空根据句意“据说我们正生活在信息时代，一个充满新发现和巨大变化的时代。”用不定冠词。故答案选D。
22.D 考查宾语从句的连接词。此处he thought为插入语，what作宾语从句的主语。句意：那位老板拒绝以不满意的价钱卖车。
23. A 考查倒装句。此处seldom为否定副词，置于句首时，主句须部分倒装。又因时间状语表一段时间，故用现在完成时。
24.B考查非谓语动词的用法。此处asked为过去分词作宾补。句意：在工作面试中，应聘者常常发现被问一些意想不到的问题，有些问题很难回答。
25.D考查定语从句的关系词。此处是介词前置的定语从句。句意：你给送你礼物的亲戚发了感谢信了吗？
26. A 考查副词词义辨析。此处highly意为“非常，高度地”；reasonably意为“合理地，明智地”；strongly意为“强劲地，坚定地，强烈地”；naturally意为“自然地，天生地”。因此，在这里应用highly“非常”这个副词。
27．C考查名词词义辨析。解题关键：make any difference意为：关系重大，起重要作用。句意：“那很重要吗？”“是的，很关键。”
28.D 考查情态动词较为特殊的用法。句意：我十分震惊，那个孩子竟然对他的父母说了那样的话。此处should意为：竟然。
29.B考查动词的时态。根据答语的后半句可知，现在Kevin正在等待测试的成绩，参加测试为一个过去的动作，应该使用一般过去时态。因此，正确答案为B选项。
30.C 考查不定代词的用法。句中I had thought是插入成分，one代替a new life。也可以用关系代词which，指代a new life。
31. C 考查同位语从句。此处the idea是抽象名词，后面的同位语从句说明其内容。句意：坦诚为善良服务，这个想法有许多哲理。
32. B 考查动词短语辨析。句意为：很高兴你能来亲自负责这起事件。B项意为“负责”，符合句意；A项意为“导致”，C项意为“向……求助”，D项意为“参考”，都与语意不符。
33. B 考查强调句型。句子虽然比较长，但是其主干为强调句型，是对“80 years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic”进行了强调，由此可知，空白处应该填写that。因此，正确答案为B选项。
34.B 考查虚拟语气。根据主语的谓语动词可知题干是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，从句谓语动词用had done，选B。
35．B考查情景交际。句意为：“为什么不在休息间隙去喝杯茶？”“不，我没心情。”A项意为“不，我没零钱。”C项为“不，我不渴。”D项意为“不，这次我请客。”根据句意应选B。
【文章大意】 文章通过一个故事告诉我们，寻找一些想法是简单的，但是将这些想法付诸实践却是另外一回事。
36．A 考查形容词辨析。由下文对这个传统的描述来看，这个传统很独特，所以四个词中只有strange (奇怪的)符合语境。语境为：很久很久以前，有一个小村庄有着一个奇怪的传统。每到年初，已成年的男孩就会拿到一块地和资金(自己动手)去修建自己的房屋。hopeful 有希望的；literary 文艺的，书本的；cultural文化的。
37．C 考查动词词义辨析。这里指的是在冬天到来前就要完成房屋的修建。所以用complete，意思是：完成。倒数第三段 “By fall, Marc had finished his home．”中有同义词复现：finish。
38.A 考查动词词义辨析。 倒数第三段“The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 51 ．The villagers mourned for him．”告诉我们，由于Paul修建的房子不好，被冻死了，人们都来哀悼他，但没有帮助他度过寒冬，由此可以看出，在这一奇怪的传统中，别人是不能提供帮助的，所以选help。
39．D考查语境选词。上一段告诉我们，成年的男孩是在每年的年初(At the beginning of every year)拿到一块地和资金的，四个选项中只有spring(春天)符合语境。
40．B 考查动词辨析。对应第一段提到的was given，所以这里选receive意思是：收到。exchange 交换；recognize 认出，承认；advise 建议，忠告。
41．C考查语境话选词。前文告诉我们，他们要建的是房子，这是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和房主交谈以获得如何建好房子的建议。文中有多处同义词home的复现。
42．D考查名词词义辨析。每一位房主都很乐意提供给他们(关于如何建好房子的)建议。所以选advice。可以从“Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 45 some of them．”中的idea得到启示。
43．B 考查动词辨析。Marc 参观了几栋房子，把房主们提供的建议搜集起来，所以选gather。意思是：搜集。44空后的“continued collecting more ideas”有同义词复现。expect 期待，预料；create 创造；understand理解。
44．C 考查副词辨析。考查动词辨析。Marc开始建房，而Paul 却仍在继续搜集如何建房的建议，两者之间是转折关系，所以用however。
45． A 考查动词辨析。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 认为，相信；replace代替；doubt怀疑。
46． C 考查连词辨析。“He had several false starts”和“his home gradually rose from his land”之间是转折关系，所以用but。
47． D考查动词辨析。倒数第二段 “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，说的就是他所修的房子可以在建成后随时改良，所以用improve。repair 修理、修补； rebuild重建；sell卖。
48．A 考查名词辨析。第二段的“In each village, they found the nicest 41 and talked to the owners．”可知，应该选conversations，意思是：谈话、会话。
49．B 考查动词辨析。冬天来了，第一场雪使Paul意识到建房子所剩的时间不多了，所以自己便急匆匆地往回赶，所以选rush，意思是：冲、奔，急匆匆地赶。
50. A 考查形容词辨析。由后面的“The first winter storm destroyed his home”可以看出，由于动工时间较晚，时间紧，他修的房子不牢固，所以选weak，意思是：不牢固的。funny滑稽的；small小的；amazing令人吃惊的。
51. B 考查名词辨析。下一句“The villagers mourned for him”告诉我们，村民们都去哀悼他，由此可知他被冻死了，所以选death。
52. C 考查动词辨析。这里指的是Marc由于修好了房子，顺利渡过了冬天，所以用survive，意思是：从困境中挺过来。
53. D 考查动词辨析。raise 养育。句意为：(后来)他成了村里的领导，养育了一家人，幸福满意的生活着。如果把 A 项后加上up，也是正确的。
54. B 考查形容词辨析。上面的故事告诉我们，建议和想法的寻找是简单的，而实践才是困难的，所以选easy。
55. D考查动词辨析。这里指的是最好的想法的“应用”，所以选apply。
A【文章大意】众所周知，摄入过多脂肪，缺乏锻炼以及长期吸烟会增加患心脏病的风险，但最新的研究表明，另外一项我们平时不注意的东西更使我们患心脏病的风险大大增加，那就是我们所呼吸的空气。
56．A 主旨大意题。根据本文主题句——第一自然段的最后一句可知本文大意是说明空气质量和心脏病发病率之间的关系，选A。
57．C 词义猜测题。modest原意是：谦虚的，温和的，由此可以推断出本文中其意思是：相对较低的，选C。
58．D 事实细节题。根据最后一句可知本题选D。
59．A 写作意图题。本文是一篇说明文，主要意思是说明人们所呼吸的空气和心脏病的发病率之间的关系，由此可知作者的写作目的是告知人们一个事实，故本题选A。
B【文章大意】此篇讲述了作者乘车的经历，折射出西方父母注意让孩子从小就接触和了解社会，从而培养孩子认识问题和解决问题的能力。
60．B 信息理解题。由第二段第一句It goes like this：You can't take any means of transportation more than once.可知B项正确。
61．A 推理。由第三段中The good thing about Transportation Days is not only…She understood that depending on cars …above all, a failure of confidence…可知A为正确答案。
62．D 词意猜测题。paralyze使不能正常工作，此处根据句意为“破坏，毁坏”。母亲帮“我”解开其中的奥秘，否则“我”当初的尝试会遭到破坏。由后面的几个问句即可得出其情景意义。其他选项不符合句意。
63．A 信息理解题。最后一段的on an airplane, ...we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all.可知A正确。
C【文章大意】本文是记叙文。在多佛有一家谁都可以进来吃饭的餐馆。这里提供捐款箱，客人可以随意捐献，并且那些穷人在这里可以以打工的方式来付饭钱。
64. B 细节理解题。从Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served here.可知，以前他们提供的是质量很差的饭菜。
65. A 细节理解题。从第二段最后一句我们知道，那些无法支付饭费的人可以在这里打工。其他选项文章中并没有提及。
66. B 观点态度题。作者在最后一段提到And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading，由此我们知道，作者觉得这是慷慨之举，并且这样的精神在发扬光大，因此是持赞成的态度。
D【文章大意】本文是一篇关于荒野保护的文章。作者从两个方面论述了人们的观点，并对于这一论题提出了自己的看法。
67. B 细节理解题。作者在第二段中主要论述不应该开发荒野的观点，并通过John Sauven 的视角“and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real.”予以说明。所以正确答案应为B。
68. C 细节理解题。作者在第三段主要论述可以开发荒野的观点，并通过Lee Lane 的视角“But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation.”说明荒野可以开发。所以选C。
69. A 推理。 作者从正反两方面对荒野开发进行了论述，谨慎地发表了看法，所以态度比较客观，故选A。objective客观的；disapproving反对的；sceptical怀疑的；optimistic乐观的。
70. D 文章结构题。 本文作者首先提出中心论点，然后从正反两个方面进行了论述，然后回到自己的观点，最后对自己的观点做了进一步的阐释。因此D为最佳答案。
【文章大意】本文介绍了几种释放压力的方式，可以让人们在有压力的时候能够感觉好一些。
71. C考查语境理解及主题句。根据后文可知：不同的人减压的方式不同，是因为他们感受压力的方式不同。
72.F考查上下文的语境理解。前文提到和你信赖的人谈话，比如：父母、亲戚；减压求助的另一种方式就是向朋友求助，这里朋友和父母、亲戚是并列关系。
73. A考查上下文的语境理解。根据前文可知：有了压力和心情郁闷的时候，不要你一个人扛着。Don't take it out on yourself. 那么就得向别人求助。
74. E考查上下文的语境理解。根据后文：你即使不能全部解决所有的问题，但你可以解决一部分。可知前文应列出问题清单，知道有多少问题。
75. D考查上下文的语境理解。根据前文：你自己会感到越来越好甚至更轻快，可知后文也应该是好的感觉。故选D。
短文改错
1．visit→visited 根据时间状语last month可知本句时态是一般过去时，故动词用过去式。
2．but→and/so 前后文是承接或因果关系，故连词用and或so。
3．to去掉 anywhere是指地点的副词，其前不用介词。
4．comfortably→comfortable 修饰名词doubleroom应用形容词。
5．were→was what引导主语从句，其谓语动词应用单数形式，故系动词were改为was。
6．for→with 动词share与介词with构成搭配，意思是“和某人分享”。
7．taking→taken take与所修饰词photos是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
8．dish→dishes 由several修饰，名词应用复数。
9．such后加a such修饰的hotel是可数名词单数，需加不定冠词a。
10．me→mine 双重所有格的构成是“of ＋名词性物主代词或名词所有格”。
【参考范文】
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.
