　　Experts say the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole appears to have fallen to 100℃， meaning it is now producing steam, not magma(岩浆)．

　　But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.

　　Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.

　　Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was “kind of not active for the moment”．

　　“The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again，” she said.

　　“There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption.”

　　Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallenbelow 100℃.

　　But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821—1823.

　　“It stopped and started again several times with different intervals(间隔), so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline，” he said.

　　He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla Volcano—a much larger mountain—might also erupt.

　　At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.

　　It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War Ⅱ， and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.

　　1．What do experts think Eyjafjallajokull is like now?

　　A．Magma is still coming out.

　　B．The hole appears about 100℃.

　　C．The eruption was not over.

　　D．It is very cold.

　　2．How do experts know the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole?

　　A．By taking photos.

　　B．By taking its temperature.

　　C．By going close to it.

　　D．By driving past it.

　　3．What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull?

　　A．It will erupt again soon.

　　B．It will be sleeping.

　　C．Another mountain might also erupt.

　　D．It's uncertain.

　　4．What do you think the main idea is?

　　A．The biggest action of closing airspace in Europe.

　　B．The temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole.

　　C．The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland.

　　D．The earthquake in Iceland.

　　To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．

　　After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't．

　　“We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council．“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from．”

　　Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．

　　Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years．

　　“We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically（理论上地）possible．”

　　“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ” Susan Jebb said．“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．”

　　53. Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?

　　A. Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day．

　　BDo proper exercise in the morning every day．

　　CDrinking alcohol in the proper amount every day．

　　DHaving a cigarette before going to bed every day．

　　We can learn from the passage that

　　．

　　ASusan Jebb did not take part in the study．

　　Bthe study observed people as well as tested specific changes．

　　Cthere's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits．

　　Donly those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors．

　　What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits．

　　BPeople aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom．

　　CGovernments should take measures to help people change their bad habits．

　　DPeople have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good．

　　What would be the best title for this passage?

　　A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years

　　B. How to Live a Much Healthier Life

　　C. How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others

　　D. Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years

　　【参考答案】53、DAC

　　56. D

　　BEIJING—China's Beijing and Shanghai cities and Guangdong Province on Sunday published plans to gradually allow migrant workers' children to enter senior high schools and sit college entrance exams locally.

　　They are the latest in a total of 13 provinces and municipalities(市) to formulate plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.

　　Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to attend local vocational schools in 2017 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2017, said a statement from the city's commission of education.

　　Shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2017.

　　Guangdong has asked its cities to start recruiting(招收) migrant workers' children in local senior high schools in 2017. The province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents in college entrance exams starting in 2016. Luo Weiqi said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and “step by step” as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.

　　Migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.

　　China's hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. A regulation in 2003 amended this by allowing migrant workers' children to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents worked.

　　Official figures show that China has more than 250 million farmersturnedworkers living in cities. An estimated 20 million children have migrated with their parents to the cities.

　　1．What's the best title of this passage?

　　A．China's educational reform on the way

　　B．Migrants' dreams come true

　　C．Reform plans published for migrant children's education

　　D．Migrants ask for equal rights in education

　　2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong took the lead in making plans for migrant children's education.

　　B．There are altogether 13 provinces

　　and

　　municipalities that have made plans for migrant children's education.

　　C．Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to enter all the local schools in 2017.

　　D．Migrant workers' children began to receive senior high school education in cities where their parents worked in 2003.

　　3．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “confine”？

　　A．Limit.

　　B．Prevent.

　　C．Protect.

　　D．Resist.

　　4．Which of the following statements can be inferred according to the passage?

　　A．Guangdong will allow migrant workers' children to sit gaokao locally in 2016.

　　B．China's hukou is now no longer important and should be cancelled.

　　C．The Chinese government should continue deepening the educational reform.

　　D．It is likely that not all migrant workers' children can enter senior high schools or sit gaokao in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong with the new plans published.

　　【要点综述】本文报道了北京市、上海市及广东省拟计划允许进城务工人员的子女在当地参加高考。

　　1．C　主旨大意题。这是一篇资讯报道，第一段就是资讯的主要内容。C项很好地概括了资讯的主要内容，并符合标题的特点。

　　2．B　细节理解题。由第二段的第一句得知B正确、A错误；由第三段得知C错误；由第七段中的 “A regulation…to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents worked.”得知D错误。

　　3．A　词义猜测题。根据所在句子的意思“中国的户口过去______了孩子们只能在他们家乡所在的省份上学。”并结合上下文可知是“限制”，而不是“阻止”“保护”或是“抵制”。

　　4．D　推理判断题。由第六段得知，在北京、上海和广东，能够就地入学或参加高考的孩子的父母必须符合几个条件。言外之意，不符合条件的就不能享受这一政策。故D正确。
