　　第二部分阅读理解 （共两节，满分0分）

　　第一节

　　（共15题;每小题分，满分分）

　　阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C

　　和 D ）中 ，选出最佳选项 ，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。Recently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.

　　There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.

　　Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallal’s study, compared with fewer than four in ten British.

　　These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved(进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span(寿命) as smoking.

　　21. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that_________.

　　A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discovered

　　B. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exercise

　　C. the good enough data has been collected from only one country

　　D. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree

　　22. According to the study, women of Luxembourg_________.

　　A. have little time to exercise

　　B. hate to get regular exercise

　　C. take more exercise to lose weight

　　D. exercise more than men in their country

　　23. The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.

　　A. powerful

　　B. rich

　　C. lazy

　　D. unpopular

　　24. What can be the best title for the text?

　　A. Worldwide Lack of Enough Exercise

　　B. New Health Discovery

　　C. Evolvement of Human Beings

　　D. Benefits of Taking Exercise

　　B

　　FAMILIES often get caught up in the competitive college admissions process. However, if you’re willing to look beyond the super-selective (非常挑剔的) top colleges, you’ll find that colleges need you more than you need them.

　　A survey conducted by American website Inside Higher Ed found that 79 percent of colleges in the US were either “very or moderately (适度地) concerned” about not meeting their enrollment (招生) goals this year. And that’s up from 76 percent last year. Private nonprofit colleges particularly felt this way.

　　According to Scott Jaschik, editor of Inside Higher Ed, it’s the “non-famous privates” that are struggling the most. Without big donations , they’re forced to rely much more on tuition payments to cover costs. Many of these colleges are often willing to offer bigger discounts or may match competing schools’ offers of financial aid. Knowing this information ahead of time can greatly change a student’s college list. If you know that your ranks are in the top 25 percent (above the college’s middle 50 percent), you have: 1) a much greater likelihood of being accepted, and 2) a reasonably good chance that you’ll be offered an attractive financial aid package.

　　The problem is that most families never look beyond the colleges in one area or the top schools nationally. But depending on the student’s academic and after-class performance, the student may be considered a much more desirable (值得拥有的) applicant somewhere else, and that desirability is often rewarded with money.

　　Make your list and check it twice. It’s not unusual to hear of students applying to 15, 18, or even 23 colleges. But there is no way a student can apply to that many colleges and do a good job on each one.

　　The college admissions process doesn’t need to be crazed. If you understand what makes you desirable, as well as your financial limitations, and you are willing to look at colleges with an open mind, the process can be very rewarding.25. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To point out the problems facing private nonprofit colleges in the US. B. To inform the readers of a new survey of private nonprofit colleges in the US. C. To advise college applicants to look beyond top colleges when choosing where to study. D. To tell college applicants how to increase their likelihood of getting financial aid.26. According to the article, many private nonprofit colleges in the US ______. A. receive huge donations from corporations and individuals B. are struggling to achieve their enrollment goals C. don’t rely much on tuition payments to cover costs D. are becoming more popular with college applicants than ever27. What does the author think students should do when making their college lists? A. They should focus only on colleges in one area. B. They should choose top colleges all across the US. C. They should apply to as many colleges as they can. D. They should look at colleges with an open mind

　　C

　　A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.

　　The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.

　　Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.

　　For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.

　　During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos.

　　This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.

　　. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?

　　A. Ads

　　B. Movies

　　C. Briefs

　　D. Health and Diet

　　29. The passage is mainly about _________.

　　A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries

　　B. the changes in people’s diet

　　C. the effect of fish eating on people’s health

　　D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures

　　30. We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.

　　A. in countries of the yellow-skin race

　　B. in highly-developed countries

　　C. in the countries with high consumption of fish

　　D. in the countries with good production of fish

　　31. The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to the connection between ____and the level of heart disease.

　　A. the amount of fish eaten

　　B. regular fish-eating

　　C. the kind of fish eaten 

　　D. people of different areas

　　D

　　A chemical important of brain development may play a role in explaining why some people are genetically (由基因决定地) likely to suffer from anxiety and could lead to new treatments, U.S. researchers said.

　　They said highly anxious rats which were kept had very low levels of a brain chemical called fibroblast growth factor 2 or FGF2, compared with rats that were more relaxed. But when they improved the anxious rats’ living conditions — giving them new toys to explore and a bigger cage to live in — levels of this brain chemical increased and they became less anxious.

　　“The levels of this brain chemical increased in response to the experiences that the rats were exposed to. It also decreased their anxiety”. Javier Perez of the University of Michigan said in a telephone interview. “It made them behave the same way as the rats that were relaxed”, he said.

　　In a former study of people who were severely depressed before they died, the team found the gene that makes FGF2 was producing very low levels of the growth factor, which is known primarily for organizing the brain during development and repairing it after injury.

　　Perez thinks the brain chemical may be a marker for genetic vulnerability (脆弱性) to anxiety and depression. But it can also respond to changes in the environment in a positive way, possibly by preserving new brain cells.

　　While both the calm and anxious rats produced the same number of new brain cells, these cells were less likely to survive in the high-anxiety rats, the team found. Giving the rats better living conditions or injecting them with FGF2 helped improve cell survival.

　　“This discovery may pave the way for new, more specific treatments for anxiety that will not be based on sedation(药物镇静), but will instead fight the real cause of the disease,” Dr. Pier Vincenzo Piazza from France said in a statement.

　　32. From the passage we can infer that with the levels of FGF2 decreasing, the rats will______ .

　　A. die of anxiety soon

　　B. suffer from a headache

　　C. become more anxious

　　D. become more relaxed

　　33. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to .

　　A. the brain

　　B. the gene

　　C. the growth factor

　　D. the team

　　34. What’s the main influence of the new discovery?

　　A. Doctors won’t use any medicine to cure anxiety.

　　B. Doctors may find new medicine for anxiety.

　　C. Doctors will find the real cause of anxiety.

　　D. Doctors may treat anxiety more efficiently.

　　35. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?

　　A. Anxious rats and relaxed rats

　　B. Anxiety — a serious mental disease

　　C. Brain chemical may play key role in anxiety

　　D. Scientific research into the brain is important

　　第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

　　根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项There are thousands of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) in the world; Unfortunately, however, they are now in serious danger. More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years.

　　36

　　Here are the three main causes discovered.

　　The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean.

　　37

　　So they will be easily infected(感染) with diseases.

　　38

　　Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(来源) for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral.

　　39

　　This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.

　　The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral.

　　40

　　Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty.

　　A. Global warming is another reason.

　　B. Many might not even last that long!

　　C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage.

　　D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean.

　　E. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.

　　F. Steps must be taken now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans.

　　G. When the algae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end.
