8.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environmental-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environmental-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be"green gyms".They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it's free.
33.The author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following EXCEPT thatD.
A.Golf wastes large areas of countryside

A.it improves our health                            
B.it is an outdoor sport
C.it uses fewer resources

分析 運動可以讓人保持健康也可以讓人們接近大自然.然而不管你是在大山里,還是草地上運動,都應(yīng)該注意人們對運動的選擇都可能會影響到地球的環(huán)境.在文章中作者鼓勵人們要多進行環(huán)保的、不消耗自然資源的運動,比如疾走鍛煉或者自行車運動等.

解答 33. D 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容 Golf,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球場) in good condition可知高爾夫球之所以是消耗資源的一項運動,是因為它占地多、用水多、維護起來耗費能源多,故答案選D. 
34. B 推理判斷題 從文章第三段內(nèi)容There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today可知力量型步行或者疾走鍛煉是既環(huán)保又健身的運動,所以B選項正確.
35.C 細節(jié)理解題 文章第三段首先提出 There are many environment-friendly sports.然后介紹power walking:You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse 由此可知作者用power walking 為例的原因是急走鍛煉是不消耗能源又健身的運動,答案選C.
36.B推理判斷題.文章開頭提出人們選擇的運動會對環(huán)境產(chǎn)生影響,然后以高爾夫為例介紹了消耗資源的運動方式,又以疾走鍛煉為例講述了環(huán)保型運動方式,最后又提出Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials,由此判斷文章的行文發(fā)展是采用了對比和勸說的寫作方法,答案選B.

點評 本文是科教類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)

How a pity it is that many of us make poor use of time.We spend much time play games and chatting online.We don't realize wasting time are equal to a waste of our life.As the result,we will regret having achieved little one day.However,we should get rid the habit of wasting time.Do not put off that what can be done today until tomorrow.Laziness will not only brought us failure,but also lead us to poverty.

20.If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a strong wind to help him put them out.
     While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothin g personal.Most Americans don't  even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
     But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
     In the past two decades,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently,the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main 
courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art,history and philosophy(哲學(xué)).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks(缺點) of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United 
States,at the same time,are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
     So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
     Today China attracts the West more than ever,and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
     As for the old thinker,he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West,even if his birthday is.
33.The opening paragraph is mainly intended toB
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.a(chǎn)ttract the readers'i nterest in the subject
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
34.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American studentsA
A.have a great interest in studying Chinese
B.take an active part in Chinese competitions
C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese
35.What is t he best title for the passage?D
