There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging （包裝）is the silent but persuading salesman.
There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer（消費者）, so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response（反應(yīng)）to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.
60．According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.
A．the pleasing color of the package    B．the special taste of the product
C．the strange shape of the package     D．the belief in the product
61．If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.
A．bring excitement to the consumers  B．a(chǎn)ttract the consumers’ attention
C．catch the eye movement of the consumers   D．produce a happy and peaceful feeling
62． “And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.
A．starting to notice the importance of new food
B．enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
C．beginning to like green vegetables
D．paying more attention to their healthy
63．It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.
A．vegetable dish  B．healthy juice    C．iced drink D．red vegetable

LONDON（Reuters）-Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
"Organic produce is always better," Gold said. "The food is free of pesticides（農(nóng)藥）, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty. "Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（進(jìn)口）to meet growing demand. "The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
60. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because ____.
　　A. they are getting richer
　　B. they can get the food anywhere
　　C. they consider the food free of pollution
　　D. they like home-grown fruit
61.Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain？
　　A. It grows indoors all year round.
　　B. It is produced outside Britain.
　　C. It is grown on family farms.
　　D. It is produced on large farms.
62.What is the meaning of "the organic trend" as the words are used in the text？
　　A. growing interest in organic food
　　B. better quality of organic food
　　C. rising market for organic food
　　D. higher prices of organic food
63.What is the best title for this news story？
　　A. Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy？
　　B. The making of organic food in Britain
　　C. Organic food-to import or not？
D. Good qualities of organic food

Northern Europeans spend a lot of time in their cold and cloudy winters planning their summer holidays. They are proud of their healthy color when they return home after the holiday. But they also know that a certain amount of sunshine is good for their bodies and general health.
In ancient Greece people knew about the healing(治療) powers of the sun, but this knowledge was lost. At the end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor, Niels Finsen, began to study the effect of sunlight on certain diseases, especially diseases of the skin. He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in artificially (人造地) produced rays. Sunlight began to play a more important part in curing sick people.
A Swiss doctor, Auguste Rollier, made full use of the sun in his hospital at Lysine. Lysine is a small village high up in the Alps. The position is important: the rays of the sun with the greatest healing power are the infra-red (紅外線的) and ultra-violet (紫外線的) rays; but ultra-violet rays are too easily lost in fog and the polluted air near industrial towns. Dr. Roller found that sunlight, fresh air and good food cure a great many diseases. He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis with his “sun-cure”.
There were a large number of children in Dr. Roller’s hospital. He decided to start a school where sick children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn. It was not long before his school was full.
In winter, wearing only shorts, socks and boots, the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the hospital. They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school books. Their teacher led them over the snow until they reached a slope which faced the sun and was free from cold winds. There they set out their desks and chairs, and school began.
Although they wore hardly any clothes, Roller’s pupils were very seldom cold. That was because their bodies were full of energy which they got from the sun. But the doctor knew that sunshine can also be dangerous. If, for example, tuberculosis is attacking the lungs, unwise sunbathing may do great harm.
Today there is not just one school in the sun. There are several in Switzerland, and since Switzerland is not the only country which has the right conditions, there are similar schools in other places.
1. According to the passage, when did sunlight begin to play a more important part in the treatment of disease?
A. From ancient times.         B. At the end of the nineteenth century.
C. Not until this century.              D. Only very recently.
2. Why are a Danish doctor and a Swiss doctor mentioned in the second and third paragraphs?
A. Because they both made use of sunlight to treat illness.
B. Because they were the first people who used sunlight for treatment.
C. Because they were both famous European doctors.
D. Because they used sunlight in very different ways.
3. Dr Roller set up a “sun-cure” school probably for the reason that _______.
A. most children could stay in his hospital
B. children could study while being treated
C. the school was expected to be full of pupils
D. the school was high up in the mountains
4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?
A. “Sun-cure” schools are becoming popular everywhere.
B. Switzerland is the only country where “sun-cure” schools are popular.
C. Proper conditions are necessary for the running of a “sun-cure” school.
D. “Sun-cure” schools are found in countries where there is a lot of sunshine.

Most of us think that when we step under a shower we’re getting clean．We are, but we’re also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn’t even know about．
A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria (細(xì)菌) called Mycobacterium．These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身體不舒服)．When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body．
This is a finding of Norman R．Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US．The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showers．
Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities．They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium．
But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health．Only those with a frail (脆弱的) immune (免疫的) system might need to worry．
He told the New York Times that the bactertia are not as unpleasant as might be thought．He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning．
But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice．
Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower．Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than when the water is just turned on．If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months．
But Pace had good news too．He has also been testing the air in US subways．Apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh．The reason is that a train’s movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels(隧道)．
Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial(微生物的) environments of public places．This kind of knowledge might help detect the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack．
49．According to the finding of Norman R．Pace, after taking a shower, we might ______．
A．get much dirtier                B．be covered by bacteria
C．get a frail immune system      D．catch a cough or feel tired
50．Pace’s research into showers shows that ______．
A．there is no reason to fear microorganism
B．shower water contains much less bacteria after being left to run for 30 second
C．having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time
D．of 45 showerheads surveyed in nine cities, 30 carried large amounts of Mycobacterium
51．According to the research of Pace’s team, which of the following contributes to fresh air in US subways?
A．Train wheels．               B．Iron particles．
C．The movement of the trains． D．Air conditioners on the trains．
52．The word “detect” in the last paragraph probably means “______”．
A．to discover      B．to protect        C．to make   D．to prevent

Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1 from further proliferation (繁衍) till the virus limits itself in about 1-2 weeks (its natural cycle)．H1N1, like other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper respiratory tract and proliferates (only) there．The only way of entry are the nostrils(鼻孔) and mouth/ throat．In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1．
Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is．
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, some very simple steps can be practiced:
1．Frequent hand-washing．
2．"Hands-off-the-face" approach．Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat or bathe)．
3．Gargle(漱口) twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt)．H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms．Simple gargling prevents proliferation．In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one．Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method．
4．Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrilsat least once every day with warm salt water，Which is very effective in bringing down viral population．
5．Strengthen your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C ．If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption．
6．Drink as much of warm liquids as you can．Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction．They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm．
7．All these are simple ways to prevent, within means of most households, and certainly much less painful than to wait in long queues outside public hospitals．
57．What part of a person’s body do H1N1flu viruses mainly infect?
A．one’s lung            B．the upper respiratory tract
C．one’s heart            D．one’s throat and lung
58．H1N1 flu viruses go into our bodies by ________．
A．touching          B．diet      C．breathing  D．dirt
59．What does the underlined word “underestimate” mean ?
A．a(chǎn)ssign too low a value to
B．drop the cost of
C．pay more attention to
D．calculate the number of money
60．The author presents this passage by ______．
A．telling an interesting story         B．testing an idea by reasoning
C．introducing some practical methods    D．describing some activities in a natural order

For all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant , at least it was when I was growing up．It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There’s no doubt that dairy products(乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented with Vitamin D and A．
While it’s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn’t necessarily lower a person’s risk for fractures（骨折）． A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week．
There’s no doubt that we need calcium, Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease． Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems． Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general．
Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it．If not, find some others． Because some claims may not be completely true, when I eat a cream, I’m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing. I’m thinking delicious．
61．Which of the following is TRUE on the milk?
A．The more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be．
B．The more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be．
C．The less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be．
D．There is no link between them．
62．Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except______．
A．cardiovascular problems                     B．heart disease
C．prostate cancer                             D．stomach cancer
63．The underlined words “some others” in the last paragraph refer to_____．
A．dairy products               B．milk               C．food               D．cream
64．What’s the author’s attitude towards milk?
A．He doesn’t like milk any more
B．He used to drink milk as a child．
C．He regards milk as a nutrient．
D．He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something．
65．We can learn from the text that_____
A．All the claims are not completely true ．
B．High milk intakes can lead to cancer．
C．It’s necessary for you to reduce milk intakes．
D．Give up milk for your health．

A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, British scientists have disclosed.
Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study.
Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in DNA．As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they are easy to have illnesses.
But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.
The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole.
Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said: "These results are exciting because they prove for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D．
"This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer."
He said further studies are required to confirm the findings.
Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: "Although it might sound absurd(荒謬的), it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process."
Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.
Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease.
64．What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Sunshine 'helps to keep you young'
B．Vitamin D has a protective effect on many diseases
C．Telomeres - a biological marker of ageing
D．People have found the secret to having a long life

A．through water           B．through sunshine     
C．through food               D．both B and C
66．What does the underlined word in paragraph three refer to?
A．It refers to a kind of vitamin that can keep you young.
B．It refers to a biological marker of ageing found in DNA.
C．It refers to a kind of element that can be obtained from sunshine.
D．It refers to a part of the body.
67．Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A．women with high levels of vitamin D shows a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.
B．vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases.
C．too much sunshine may increase our risk of skin cancer.
D．It has been proved that sunshine 'helps to keep you young'.

No matter how long your life, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can rejoice in the fact that the number of such is relatively small.
________________ Yet there is a surprising uniformity in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.
What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all they are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not best sellers for a year or two. They are enduring best sellers. GONE WITH THE WIND has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or DON QUIXOTE. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer’s Iliad（伊麗亞特）has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not only begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom is fortified, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
64．Which of the following can be put in the blank in the second paragraph?
A．Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life.
B．It is to be expected that the selections will change with the times
C．The listing of the best books is as old as reading and writing.
D．The fundamental human problems remain the same in all ages.
65．According to the author, Gone With The Wind is ________.
A．a(chǎn) best seller                                               
B．disgusted by readers who like Shakespeare
C．read more often than Don Quixote        
D．a(chǎn) great book
66．In the passage “pedantic” means ________.
A．showing the feelings, esp, those of kindness, which people are supposed to have
B．serving as practical examples
C．being elementary
D．paying too much attention to details in books
67．The best title for this passage is ________.
A．Great Books in Your Life       B．Great Books in Your Speciality
C．How to Find a Great Book?    D．What Is a Great Book?

lt, they do not only look younger and slimmer, but feel better. Because of increased physical fitness, life expectance in the nation has risen to seventy-three years, with fewer people suffering from heart disease, the nation's number one killer.
Jogging ( 慢跑 ), the easiest and cheapest way of improving the body, keeps over 30million people of all ages on the run. For the price of a good pair of running shoes, anyone anywhere can join the race.
Dieting, too, has become a national  pastime. Promoters of diets that eliminate eating one thing or another, such as fats or carbohydrates ( 碳水化合物 ), promise as much as 20- pound weight losses within two weeks. Books describing such amazing diets always head up ( 居……之首 )the best-seller lists because people who are overweight want to lose weight quickly and easily.
Nevertheless, jogging and dieting, carried to extremes, can be harmful. Many confused joggers overdo and finally suffer from ankle and foot damage. Dieting, fortunately, becomes only a temporary means for shedding a few  pounds while the body lose the balanced nutrition ( 營養(yǎng) )it requires, so most dieters cannot keep on diets. Above all, common sense should be the keystone for any dieting and exercise plan.
