【題目】How long can a person live?How tall can a human being grow?The Guinness（吉尼斯）World Records book lists many of the greatest records【1】the greatest potentials（潛能）.But it's a fossil record.It speaks only to what has been done,not how much can【2】(do),which is why it has to be constantly updated（更新）.

Take the【3】(surprise )case of the British middle-distance runner Roger Bannister for example.In the 1950s, experts said【4】the human body could not run a mile in less than four minutes.Then Bannister came along in 1954 and proved it could【5】act be run in 3:59.4.Once Bannister broke the imaginary barrier,【6】(sudden )the floodgates opened;scores of runners started besting（擊�。﹖he four-minute mark every year,each one【7】(fast) than the last. How fast does a human have the ability【8】(run)the mile today?We honestly don't know.That is why we hold our 【9】(breathe )during every Olympics.

All we know【10】(be)that this kind of change is possible.Keep this in mind the next time you feel stuck or challenged.Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it's impossible.

【1】and

【2】be done

【3】surprising

【4】that

【5】in

【6】suddenly

【7】faster

【8】to run

【9】breath

【10】is

【解析】本文講述了吉尼斯紀(jì)錄是如何被打破的，講述了運(yùn)動(dòng)員Bannister打破專家結(jié)論的過程，說明記錄會(huì)被不斷的打破，才會(huì)有創(chuàng)新的過程。

【1】此句意為吉尼斯世界記錄的書中列出的許多最偉大的記錄和最大偉大的潛能。此處前后為并列的兩個(gè)最高級(jí)詞匯，所以之間用and連接，故填and。

【2】此句意為它只說做了什么，沒有多少可以被做。此處為被動(dòng)語態(tài)，故填be done。

【3】此句意為以令人驚喜的英國中長跑運(yùn)動(dòng)員Roger Bannister為例。此處令人驚喜的意為surprising，用于形容事物，故填surprising。

【4】此句意為在上世紀(jì)50年代，專家稱4分鐘內(nèi)人體不能跑一英里。此句為賓語從句，從句部分不缺任何成分，所以引導(dǎo)詞要用that，故填that。

【5】此句意為然后，Bannister在1954年出現(xiàn)了，并證明了它可以在3:59.4中運(yùn)行。此處考查固定搭配，in act 意為完成，進(jìn)行。故填in 。

【6】此句意為一旦Bannister打破了想象的障礙，突然打開了閘門;此處的突然修飾整個(gè)句子，所以要用副詞形式，故填suddenly。

【9】此句意為這就是為什么我們?cè)诿繉脢W運(yùn)會(huì)期間都保持呼吸的原因。保持呼吸意為keep breath ，故填breath。

【10】此句意為眾所周知這種改變是可能的，考查固定搭配，all we know is ....意為眾所周知，故填is。

【題目】Over millions of years, penguins（企鵝）have developed a keen sense of where to find food. Once they’re old enough, they set off from the shores on which they were hatched for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies and sardines. But they don’t search directly for the fish themselves.

For example, when young African penguins head out to sea, they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll(葉綠素) because those conditions signal the presence of phytoplankton（浮游植物）. And lots of phytoplankton means lots of plankton（浮游動(dòng)物）, which in turn means lots of their favorite fish. Well, that’s what it used to mean.

Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage(海市蜃樓). The habitat is indeed plankton-rich—but now it’s fish-poor. Researchers call this an “ecological trap.”

“It’s a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good quality habitat. That habitat’s been changed, usually by human pressures. The signal stays, but the quality in the environment deteriorates.”

Richard Sherley, a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa. Historically, the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola, Namibia and western South Africa, but now they’re going hungry.

“I was really hoping we’d see them going east, and finding areas where the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins.” said Richard.

The researchers calculate that by falling into this ecological trap, African penguin populations on South Africa's Western Cape have declined by around 80 percent.

Some research groups are exploring the idea of moving chicks to a place where they can’t get trapped, like the Eastern Cape. But Sherley thinks that a longer-term solution means making and carrying out rules to create more sustainable(可持續(xù)的) fishing industry, something that he says needs public support.

【1】How do penguins find their food?

A. They discover fish with their keen sense.

B. They swim long distances directly for fish.

C. They make signals to each other when finding fish.

D. They look for warmer and greener areas.

【2】What is an ecological trap for the African penguins?

A. A trap set to catch penguins.

B. A good fish habitat with few fish.

C. A habitat unsuitable for fish.

D. A mirage on the sea.

【3】What does the underlined word “deteriorates” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. Get worse. B. Get better.

C. Stay the same. D. Become suitable.

【4】What can be done to help the penguins in the long run?

A. Move the penguins to other places.

B. Create nature reserves for penguins.

【題目】Deborah Cohen is a senior natural scientist at the Rand Corp and the author of the book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind the Obesity Epidemic and How We Can End It. According to the book, there are lots of misunderstandings of obesity.

1.If you’re obese, blame your genes.

Obesity rates have increased. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.

At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.

2.If you’re obese, you lack self-control.

Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor dietary choices. Our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can’t understand. Even the most vigilant (警覺的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves.

3.Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity.

Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nation’s population is overweight or obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.

4.The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don’t exercise.

Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may account for up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. The problem is that we eat too much.

【1】The author mentioned Deborah Cohen’s book in Paragraph 1 to _______.

A. introduce the topic

B. advise readers to buy books

C. introduce the author of the book

D. advertise the book

【2】What is the relationship between obesity and the place where you eat?

A. The less you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.

B. The less you eat at home, the lower rates of obesity you have.

C. The more you eat out, the higher rates of obesity you have.

D. The more you eat at home, the higher rates of obesity you have.

【3】What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Four misunderstandings of obesity

B. Four rules to help you avoid obesity

C. Obesity leads to a big fat crisis

D. Lacking self-control leads to obesity

【題目】It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.

According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步機(jī)), burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.

Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.

Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾氣), and go early in the morning before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

【1】How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?

A. They can run more slowly.

B. They can take in more calories.

C. Their hearts can function harder.

D. Their body temperature can get lower.

【2】How does summer affect runners?

A. It builds up their energy quickly.

B. It makes runners tired easily.

C. It lessens runners’ stress.

D. It causes heart attack.

【3】What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?

A. Stop driving cars.

B. Do more exercise.

C. Avoid outdoor exercise.

D. Run late in the morning.
