B
People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance , such as oil tankers into the sea.
The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produce there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizer cannot restore the balance.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in term of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying ,excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.
45.The underlined phrase “disposed of ”in the second paragraph means_______.
A. dealt with               B. exposed 
C. disapproved of           D. collected
46. In the writer’s view ,the more new goods, _______.
A. the less pollution             
B. the harder pollution can be prevented
C. the more pollution there will be
D. the more easily pollution can be controlled
47.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We can do much to reduce pollution.
B. The government is trying hard to stop pollution.
C. Individuals know how to get rid of the habit of littering everywhere.
D. We can’t stop buying unnecessary things.
48. People can help solve the problem of pollution by _______.
A. urging their governments to control litter and waste
B. making anti-pollution advertisements
C. cutting down the use of oil and other oil products
D. reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes

When did you last see a polar bear(北極熊)? On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?  If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,  you would have seen a whole polar bear club.  These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.  That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a little higher.  The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60.  Members must satisfy two requirements.  First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.  Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.  Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.  Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.  They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循環(huán)系統(tǒng))because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.  Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.  A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
  The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;  they find it fun and relaxing.  As one 70-year-old woman says,"When I go into water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
小題1:The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____.
A.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
B.they must reach the age of 60
C.they should be easy to make friends with
D.they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
小題2:According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that_____.
A.Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
B.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
C.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
D.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
小題3:The Polar Bears like to swim year-round, for_____.
A.it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterB.they can remain young
C.they find it enjoyable and interestingD.they might meet fewer troubles in life
小題4:The passage is mainly about_____.
A.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
B.a(chǎn) group of cold-water-swimming livers
C.the Polar Bears' life in New York
D.doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming

We all know that certain oils are healthier than others. but your oil health goes beyond just the type.The health of your oil can be related to how you use it too.
Each type of oil has what is called a“smoke point. ”The smoke point is the  specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down, or in more technical terms, its molecular structure begins to change. These molecular changes result in; changes in flavor, as well as W  changes in nutritional value,specifically,the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce;changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil,like Olive,into one that is unhealthy.
The higher an oil’s smoke point is,the higher the temperature of the oil can be.As a result, each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance. Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite oil.
Heat During Cooking
Oil
Best Use
Low to Moderate
Coconut
Baking (low heat ) Light Sauteing Pressure Cooking Salads
Corn
Olive
Peanut
Sesame
Walnut
Medium Heat
Macadamia Nut
Baking
Sauteing
Stir-Frying
Safflower
High Heat
Grape-seed
Deep Browning
Deep-Frying
Sunflower
Soybean/Soy
Note that the above table represents oils that are refined(精煉的).Most oils we buy are refined.Refined oils tend to have much higher smoke points than when they are unrefined.They also differ in nutrition and flavor.Unrefined oils are more nutritious and they tend to be much richer in flavor.
When it comes to extremely high heat cooking,always choose oils which are refined.
62.What determines whether an oil is healthy or not?
A.Whether it’s refined or not.      B.Its smoke point.
C.Its molecular.                                               D.How you use it.
63.Which of the following might be a better choice to make a healthy salad?
A.Refined walnut oil.                                B.Safflower oil.
C.Unrefined olive oil.                                      D.Sunflower oil.
64.Healthy oil can become unhealthy if. according to the passage.
A.you keep it for too long         B.it is heated well beyond its smoke point
C.it is refined                D.its flavor is changed
65.The author wants to tell readers that               .
A.oils are related to health  
B.oils’ value depends on their smoke points
C.“certain oils are healthier ”is relative
D.oils’ flavor and nutrition are connected

D
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent, person’s intelligence is fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(隨意地) from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is  boring. We should soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
68. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him
A. at birth                          B. through education
C. both at birth and through education    D. neither at birth nor through education
69. If a child is born with low intelligence, he is unlikely to      
A. become a genius so long as he or she works hard enough
B. still become a genius if he should be given special education
C. go beyond his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings
D. never reaches his intelligence limits in his life
70. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows
A. the importance of their intelligence      
B. the role of environment on intelligence
C. the importance of their positions        
D. the part that birth plays
71. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Surroundings                           B. Intelligence
C. Dependence on Environment              D. Effect of Education

A
Books which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the United States today. Thousands of these “How to” books are available; in fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that begin with the words “How to”. One book may tell you how to earn more money, another may tell you how to save or spend it, and another may explain how to give your money away.  Many “How to” books give advice on careers (職業(yè)). They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed at it. If you fail, however, you can buy a book called “How to Turn Failure into Success”. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book “How to Make a Million”. If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called “How to Live on Nothing?”. One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you want to have a better love of life, you can read “How to Succeed at Love Every Minute of Your Life.?”. If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer a book called “How to Make Yourself miserable?”.
Many of these books help people use their time better. Some people want books which will give them useful information about sports, hobbies, and travel. Other people use their free time to make repairs and improvements on their homes. They prefer books which give step by step instruction on how to repair things like plumbing (衛(wèi)生管道工程) and electrical wiring, or on how to redecorate (重新裝飾) or enlarge a house.
Why have “How to” books become so popular? Probably because life has become so complex. Today people have far more free time to use, more choices to make, and more problems to solve. “How to” books help people deal with modern life.

A. tell people on how to love their daily life

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast?A short time ago,a test was given in the United States.People of different ages from 12 to 83 were asked to have a test.During the test,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts,and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.Scientists wanted to see how well their body worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if he or she eats a right breakfast,he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast.If a student has fruit,eggs,bread and milk before going to school,he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think.Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight.This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch.They will gain weight instead of losing it.You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
