6．COPENHAGEN-The world is gathered in Copenhagen for the U．N．climate summit，but Denmark's bicycle-friendly capital has also given its name to a movement of cities trying to find a kinder way to travel to and from work．
Nearly 40 percent of Copenhagen's population cycle to work or school on ubiquitous（無處不在的） paved cycle paths．Many residents take to their bikes year-round，braving rain and snow through the winter in a city where the bicycles outnumber the people．
Amsterdam and Beijing too are known for their bicycles，but the Danish capital is where urban planners from around the world have been looking for ways to get their people out of cars and up onto bikes，an effort known as Copenhagenisation．
Klaus Bondam，Copenhagen's technical and environmental chief，calls himself a"mega cyclist"and says the bike's popularity stems partly from high taxes on cars which meant working-class Danes could not afford to drive in the 1930s and 1940s．"Today you'll meet everybody on the bicycle lanes-women and men，rich and poor，old and young．"Bondam said．
The local government has during the last three years invested more than 250 million crowns （$49.42 million） in bicycle lanes and to make the traffic safer for bicyclists．Today around a third of the population drive cars to work or study，another third take public transport，while 37 percent cycle--a figure the city aims to increase to 50 percent by 2015．
There are many benefits when citizens choose bicycles over cars：pollution and noise decline，public health improves，and more people on bikes or walking creates a sense of safety in the city．Fewer parked cars leaves more space for playgrounds，parks，shopping areas and other useful public places．
53．According to the first paragraph，Copenhagen is better known asB．
A．a city without cars

5．A special education teacher and former police officer was honored by President Barack Obama at the White House as the 2009 National Teacher of the Year for his innovative（創(chuàng)新的） approach，community focus，and teamwork with other teachers．"In a global economy where the greatest job qualification isn't what you can do，but what you know，our teachers are the key to our nation's success，"President Obama stated．
    Mullen，a ninth-through twelfth-grade special education teacher at the ARCH School in Connecticut，is the 59th National Teacher of the Year．Mullen's goal is to provide passion，professionalism（職業(yè)特質），and perseverance as an educator．"A teacher can receive no greater reward than the knowledge that he or she helped recover a lost student，"Mullen remarked．He will travel for one year as a full-time national and international spokesperson for education beginning June1，2009．
    The National Teacher of the Year Program focuses public attention on teaching excellence and is the oldest and most famous national honors program for teachers．‘ACEI is a proud participant in the selection process for the National Teacher of the Year，and we are pleased to see Anthony Mullen selected．Mr．Mullen is a dedicated individual who possesses a wealth of talents and skills as a teacher．His devotion to young people，however，reaches beyond the call of duty．Mr．Mullen extends himself to adviser and guides children who need to know that they are not forgotten and that they，too，are unique and special，"stated ACEI Executive Director Diane Whitehead．
     ACEI is one of 15 national education organizations that select the National Teacher of the Year from among the state teachers of the year，including those representing the District of Columbia，the Department of Defense Education Activity，and five U．S．extra state departments．

4．Anchors on China Central Television （CCTV） will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms（首字母縮略詞） they're now banned from using．Shanghai Daily reports that"anchors at China Central Television[CCTV]have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA，CBA，GDP，and the like in their programs．"
The replacement for those handy acronyms？Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name，standardized by the State Administration of Radio，Film and Television．
Although CCTV （oops，we mean China Central Television） presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam，saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO-10 and 6 character's long separately-is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors．CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily，"A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips．It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials．"
Although the government isn't giving any official explanation for the shift，it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi，director of the China International Publishing Group，at March's NPC meeting．In his speech，Huang said，"With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English，measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese．If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English，Chinese won't be a pure language in a couple of years．"
Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages （the French and Québécois beat them to it by a long way），acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting a language，we would think．Good luck to the CCTV anchors．
56．CCTV anchors have to"do some fast talking"because they can no longerB．
A．speak as slowly as they like                           
B．mix English into Chinese
C．use shortened Chinese expressions            
D．have so much time for their program
57．According the writer，"CBA"is supposed to be replaced with"A"by CCTV anchors．
A．中國男子籃球甲級聯賽                              
B．中國籃球協會全國男女籃球職業(yè)聯賽
C．中國籃球聯賽                                                 
D．The Chinese Basketball Association
58．When Sun Zhengping said"if my tongue slips"，he meant"if IA"．
A．habitually use an English acronym               
B．speak a little bit too fast
C．make a mistake in pronunciation                 
D．say something impolite or improper
59．What's Huang Youyi's proposal？D
A．Using full English names instead of short forms．
B．Translating Chinese terms into proper English．
C．Avoiding Chinese words mixing into English．
D．Keeping our mother tongue as a pure language．
60．What's the main idea of the last paragraph？B
A．China has fallen behind in the matter．
B．The ban is not necessary．
C．Chinese shouldn't be corrupted．
D．CCTV anchors will have a hard time．

3．Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment．Here are some guidelines to follow：
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from．Besides so many choices，we now hear about our"food print"，the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year．Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse？Do we get the Granny Smiths from the farmers'market or the supermarket？Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet？
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria，including the energy used in producing and transporting the food，as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food．
Despite the complexities，there are some general guidelines you can follow．For instance，eat less meat or eat low on the food chain．Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consumption of red meat because of its too much fat content．Beyond that，there are environmental reasons，too．Raising food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land，energy and water than a plant-based one．
______________________________
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising．But is bottled water the way to go？You may not think so when seeing the true costs．Based on a survey，manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use three times the amount of water in the bottle．Adding in transportation，the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent （等價物）．Consequently，skip the bottled water and drink tap water，both at home and at restaurants．Additionally，bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap．

56．In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainlyD．
A．to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B．to show us the shopping habits of most Americans
C．to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroad
D．to remind people to reconsider their food purchase
57．The doctor recommends eating less red meat partly becauseA．
A．it contains too much fat 
B．it costs a lot in transportation
C．it is too low on the food chain 
D．it isn't related to climate change
58．According to the text，which of the following is true？C
A．Americans all prefer to buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico．
B．The plant-based diet is responsible for the climate change．
C．Americans have a variety of food to choose from．
D．Organic produce is the only choice for Americans．
59．Based on the last paragraph，we know thatB．
A．bottled water is cleaner than tap water
B．tap water is economical as well as eco-friendly
C．bottled water is more available than tap water
D．tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water
60．What is the best subtitle for the last paragraph？A
A．Skip bottled water，carry tap

1．Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have but one cannot take good health for granted．It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy．There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape，eat right food，get enough sleep，and exercise regularly．
Proper nutrition  is  important for good  health．Your body cannot work well unless  it receives the proper kind"fuel"．Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat，Eat plenty of foods high in protein，like meat fish eggs and nuts．Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals．However  don't overeat It is not helpful to be overweight
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important．If you don't get enough sleep，you feel tired and easily get angry．You have no energy．Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result In a change of personality（人的個性）．Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each，If you do，your body will feel strong and refreshed，and  your mind will be sharp．
Finally，get plenty of exercise Exercise firms the body，strengthens the muscles，and prevents you from gaining  weight  It also improves your heart and lungs．If you follow a regular exercise program，you will probably increase your life-span（壽命）．An kind of exercise is good．Most sports excellent for keeping the body in good shapes：basketball，swimming，bicycling，running and so on．Sports are not only good for your body，but they are enjoyable and interesting，too．
If everybody were to eat the right foods，get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly，the world would be a happier and healthier place．We would all live to be much older and wiser．

46   In order to keep good healthD．
A．we should eat a lot of sweets
B．one needs a large amount of fat
C．we must try to sleep now and then

A．Eating and Exercising             B   How Vitamins Work in Man's Body
C．Staying Healthy                   D．Sleeping Well．

20．Organic food，once considered something that only health fanatics desired，is now a regular feature at most supermarkets．And that has created a bit of a dilemma．On the one hand，you have a conventionally grown apple．On the other，you have one that's organic．Both apples are firm，shiny and red．Both provide vitamins and fiber，and both are free of fat，sodium and cholesterol．
Conventionally grown food generally costs less，but is organic food a better choice？The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and sold food products are now being debated on a large scale．Supporters of organic foods-a term whose meaning varies greatly-are frequently telling the world that such products are safer and more nutritious than others．
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of daily foods is a welcome development．However，much of this interest has been aroused by sweeping claims that the conventional food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs．
Almost daily，the public is surrounded by claims for"no-aging"diets，new vitamins and other wonder foods．There are numerous unsubstantiated（沒證實的） reports that natural vitamins are superior to man-made ones，that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs，that untreated grains are better than those treated with insect spray and the like．
Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence，large amounts of written material about the benefits of organic foods makes it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction．As a result，claims that eating a diet consisting of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely advertised and form the basis for people's opinion．
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods．But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods．So there is real cause for concern if consumers，particularly those with limited incomes，distrust the conventional food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead．
41．According to Paragraph 2，which of the following statements about organic food is true？B
A．It hasn't been used until recent years
B．It has no agreed definition．
C．It is popular among producers
D．It is accepted by most nutritionists．
42．In Paragraph 4，treated grains are examples ofC．
A．healthier food                         
B．organic food             
C．conventionally grown food               
D．expensive food           
43．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．most doctors believe organic foods prevent disease or provide other benefits to health
B．organic foods are actually less nutritious than conventionally grown foods
C．people cannot separate fact from fiction because of the TV advertisements
D．organic foods cost more but are not necessarily better than conventionally grown foods
44．According to the passage，many consumers are attracted by organic foods because theyC
A．want to try something new               
B．have carefully researched the products
C．value food safety and nutrition             
D．expect to save some money
45．What is the author's attitude towards the claims of organic foods？A
A．Doubtful．B．Enthusiastic．C．Supportive．D．Uninterested．

19．Air pollution is a leading cause of cancer and classified among top human carcinogens （致癌物質），said the International Agency for Research on Cancer （IARC），which is the World Health Organization's （WHO） cancer agency，on Oct 17，2013．"Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants，"the IARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement．"The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution．"
    In 2010，lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223，000 people worldwide，and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder （膀胱） cancer．Loomis said people in Asia，Eastern North America，some places in Central America and Mexico，as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure（暴露）．Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors，such as China，are particularly at risk．This week，Harbin，the capital city of Heilongjiang province，became the first Chinese city to officially suspendclasses due to serious smog，really good for teachers and students．
    Many developed countries face similar problems，although to a lesser（較少的、次要的） degree than most developing nations．Between 91 and 96 percent of Europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of PM2.5-tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers-that are higher than the WHO safety limits．
    Although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other，the IARC said its conclusions apply to all areas of the world．"Given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide，this report should send a strong signal to the international community to take action without further delay，"said Christopher Wild，director of the IARC．
60．What's the main task of IARC？B
A．To focus on cancer-causing substances．
B．To evaluate the air quality．
C．To study the developing risk of cancer．
D．To send signals to the international community．
61．The underlined word"suspend"in Paragraph 2 probably meansC．
A．accelerate         B．acknowledge            C．delay           D．decline
62．Why should the international community take action without further delay？A
A．A large number of people worldwide are exposed to air pollution．
B．More and more people in developing countries are exposed to air pollution．
C．Developed countries face air pollution，the level of which is higher than the safety limits．
D．The composition and levels of air pollution vary from place to place．
63．What might be the best title of the passage？D
A．PM2.5，bad effect．
B．Safety limits of air pollution．
C．Signals of air pollution．
D．Air pollution，cancer risk．

17．What's black and orange and growing for the first time in decades？India's tiger population!On Monday，officials announced the results of the latest tiger count．The census（統計） totaled 1，706tigers in forests across the Asian country-about 300more than four years ago．"These numbers give us hope for the future of tigers in the world，"said Jim Leape，international director of the World Wildlife Fund．
A century ago，about 100，000tigers lived in India's forests．But by 2002，a count showed that there were only 3，600left．The number dropped to 1，411in 2007．What caused India's tiger population to shrink so dramatically？
More than anything else，experts say，development has taken a toll．People have moved into tiger territory and destroyed much of the animal's habitat．Today，tigers live on a just small part of the land they occupied 100years ago．
Illegal hunting has also contributed to the decline．Poachers（盜獵者） can demand high fees for tiger parts，which are a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine．The parts from one tiger can sell for tens of thousands of dollars．
India's news is a step in the right direction．But while the number of tigers has increased there in the last four years，the animals'habitat has shrunk．Roads and construction projects have blocked off many tiger corridors-routes used by the big cats to go from one forest to another．"Securing these corridors should be taken up as a priority，"says Rajesh Gopal，of the National Tiger Conservation Authority．
Last November，leaders from the 13countries that are home to wild tigers met in St．Petersburg，Russia，to develop a plan to help the endangered cats．They set a goal to double the world's tiger population by the year 2022．Will we reach that goal？With India's tiger population on the rise and conservationists around the world focused on helping the big cats，it seems it just might happen．
