16．Jerry Morris died on 28 October 2009．He was 99 years old．You have probably never heard of him．He was a professor of public health．More than 50 years ago he produced one of the most famous epidemiological （流行病學） papers of the 20th century．
His study showed that bus conductors were much less likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers．Why？Because the conductors spent their working day walking．It seems obvious now but in the middle of the last century doctors were puzzled by the rising numbers of people who got heart diseases．Jerry Morris found one of the main causes：a sedentary （久坐不動的） lifestyle．He started exercising for a few minutes each day and lived until his 100th year．
If you wish to protect your heart，you have to do more than wander in the garden．The exercise needs to be reasonable．Jogging is not for everyone and a round trip to the gym takes a couple of hours，plus the monthly membership fee is only good value if you visit regularly．The answer is simple：walk．ks5u
A half-hour purposeful walk five times a week will lower your risk of heart disease，diabetes and strokes．Older people sometimes feel they have left it too late．But it is never too late to start and there are no upper age limits．Start gently．Take your time：a 15-minute flat walk in the nearest park，four or five times a week．Within a month or so，you are already beginning to protect your heart．Build the walks up．When you can comfortably walk for half an hour in the park，go further：try following rivers and canals．
Regular walkers have their own natural gymnasium．There is no membership fee，just some of the finest scenery in the world．Great Britain is the walker's gym．When you have followed the rivers and canals，and are enjoying walking for a couple of hours，head for the coast．Once again，build it up slowly．When you are comfortable with long coastal walks，you can think of our national parks．
67．Jerry Morris is mentioned in the first paragraph mainly toC．
A．make his epidemiological message known to the public
B．praise his research into ways of improving public health
C．introduce the topic of doing exercise and keeping healthy
D．give an example of a person who lives a healthy and long life
68．We can learn from the passage thatC．
A．bus conductors are more likely to die of heart disease than bus drivers．
B．doctors in the 1950s knew why heart diseases kept happening to people．
C．walking is better than doing sports in a gym because it saves time and money．
D．British people love walking because they have free gymnasium with finest scenery．
69．What suggestion does the writer give about walking？B
A．Parks are the best place for walking．
B．Starters should not push themselves too hard．
C．A two-quarter walk a day is suitable for starters．
D．People of old age might not be fit enough to start walking．
70．What might be the best title for this passage？D
A．Long Life Comes from Walking
B．Walking Helps Cure Heart Disease
C．A Walk a Day Keeps the Doctors away
D．An Hour's Walk in Nature is Worth Two in the Gym．

分析 文章講述的是關于健康的話題．生活中有很多鍛煉身體的方法和地方，但作者認為最經(jīng)濟的鍛煉方法是散步．定期散步能減少患心臟病、糖尿病和中風的風險．剛開始的時候，不能操之過急，要循序漸進地進行散步鍛煉．

解答 67．C 細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"You have probably never heard of him．He was a professor of public health…h(huán)e produced one of the most famous epidemiological （流行病學） papers of the 20th century．"可知，作者在第一段沒有詳細介紹流行病學，排除A；第一段沒有介紹他的研究方法，排除B；第一段沒有給出論點，也就不可能列舉例子，排除D；第一段介紹一個不出名的人，而且還是一個公共健康方面的教授，說明作者想要引入健康這個話題，故選C．
68．C 推理判斷題  根據(jù)第三段"a round trip to the gym takes a couple of hours，plus the monthly membership fee is only good value if you visit regularly．The answer is simple：walk．"可知，作者不提倡花錢和時間去健身房鍛煉，最簡單的方法是散步，由此可見，散步既省錢又實惠，故選C．
69．B 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Start gently．Take your time：a 15-minute flat walk in the nearest park，four or five times a week…When you can comfortably walk for half an hour in the park，go further：try following rivers and canals．"可知，對于剛起步的人來說，不要操之過急，應該循序漸進地進行散步鍛煉，故選B．
70．C 主旨大意題  根據(jù)第四段"A half-hour purposeful walk five times a week will lower your risk of heart disease，diabetes and strokes．"可知，散步能降低得心臟病、糖尿病和中風的風險，并不能治愈心臟病，排除B；根據(jù)最后一段"There is no membership fee，just some of the finest scenery in the world．"可知，散步比去健身房節(jié)省了金錢和時間，并非比健身房的鍛煉要好，排除D；A項文中未提及；故選C．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關句，（1）排除與原文相關句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結合文章主旨和主題去排除．

7．Charles Dickens is probably England's most popular author．He was born in Portsmouth，England in 1812．He started attending school at the age of nine，but was forced to leave when he was 12because his father had been put in prison for getting into debt after carelessly spending his money．Dickens worked in a shoe factory during his father's time in prison．Fortunately，his father was released from prison later the same year and Dickens was able to return to schooL
At the age of 15，Dickens started to work as a clerk．Then he was given a better-paid job as a law court reporter，because he could write quickly．
In 1836，he then decided to write his first book，Pickwick Papers，a kind of comic for adults．This book was followed by many more including Oliver Twist，Nicholas Nickleby，and so on．With these books，Dickens continued to describe the poor conditions that the working classes and poor people had to live under．He hoped that by doing so，things could change for the better but the situation just seemed to get worse．
In 1842，Dickens went to America and lectured in favor of international copyright，so that authors could get paid when their books were published in another country．By 1857，Dickens was famous for his writing and he had gained many international fans．He became very rich and was able to tour America and Europe to talk about his works．
In 1860，Dickens wrote one of his most popular stories，Great Expectations，the story of a young boy，with no money，who aspired to become rich one day．Perhaps Dickens was thinking about his own early life when deciding on the topic of the story．
On 8th June，1870，having spent the day working on what was to be his last novel，The Mystery of Edwin Drood，Dickens suddenly fell down at the dinner table and died the next evening．
21．What was the first job Dickens took in his life？A
A．A factory worker．
B．An office clerk．
C．A news reporter．
D．A writer．
22．What did Dickens mainly describe in his books？B
A．Comic adult life．
B．Common people living in hardship．
C．The transformation of people from poor to rich．
D．The better living conditions of the working classes．
23．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph？C
A．Nobody supported copyright in the 19th century in England．
B．Dickens gave speeches all over the world to support copyright．
C．Dickens benefited a lot from the law of copyright．
D Copyright was a familiar concept to most people in Dickens'time．

4．A woman named Emily renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked to state her occupation．She hesitated，uncertain how to classify herself．
"What I mean is，"explained the recorder，"do you have a job，or are you just a …"
"Of course I have a job，"said Emily．"I'm a mother．"
"We don't list‘mother'as an occupation…‘housewife'covers it，"said the recorder．
One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman，confident and possessed of a high sounding title．"What is your occupation？"she asked．
The words simply popped out．"I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations．"
The clerk paused，ballpoint pen frozen in midair．
I repeated the title slowly，then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold，black ink on the official questionnaire．
"Might I ask，"said the clerk with new interest，"Just what you do in this field？"
Coolly，without any trace of panic in my voice，I heard myself reply，"I have a continuing program of research （what mother doesn't），in the lab and in the field （normally I would have said indoors and out）．Of course，the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities （any mother care to disagree？），and I often work 14hours a day （24is more like it）．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money．"
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form，stood up，and showed me out．
As I drove into our driveway，buoyed up （受鼓舞） by my glamorous new career，I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13，7，and 3．
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model （a 6month old baby），in the child-development program，testing out a new vocal pattern．
I felt proud!I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable （不可缺少的） to mankind than"just another mother．"
Motherhood…What a glorious career!Especially when there's a title on the door．

41．What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage？D
A．The recorder was impatient and rude．
B．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was．
C．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced．
D．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society．
42．How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation？C
A．curious        B．indifferent       C．puzzled       D．interested
43．Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author？B
A．Because the author cared little about rewards．
B．Because she thought the author did admirable work．
C．Because she admired the author's research work in the lab．
D．Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of．
44．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage？B
A．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it．
B．To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect．
C．To show that the author had a greater job than Emily．
D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work．

11．That summer an army of crickets（蟋蟀） started a war with my father．Dad cared for insects no more than Mamma，but he could tolerate a few living in the basement．Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy．Then to support her point she wouldn't go to bed．She drank coffee and smoked my father's cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV．Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave，so Dad drove to the store and hurried back．He sprayed poison from a jug．When he was finished he told us that was the end of it．
For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry．He suggested that we'd all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma．I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn't like because he scratched for no reason．
However，soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom．Mamma was upset because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back，but Dad said these were certainly new ones．He fetched his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison，and then he sprayed the basement again．
A couple of weeks later，when both live and dead crickets kept turning up，Dad emptied the basement of junk．Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests．
While we ate supper that evening，the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile．The only gasoline was in the lawn mower's（割草機） fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house．Once the roof caught，there wasn't much anyone could do．
After the fire trucks left，Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail's．I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road．We worked into the night and we didn't talk much，while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence．

56．What do we know about the author's mother？A
A．She didn't like insects at all．
B．She liked insects more than his father．

5．A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher．As they went along，they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path．They were a poor farmer's，who was working in the nearby field．
