阅读理解。     The oil resources which are left will not last very long. This means that all vehicles such as cars, trains,
buses, planes and ships that need oil to work will not be able to run. So it will be necessary to develop a new
method of transport which doesn"t use oil. Electric vehicles are one possibility. In England, most families have
at least one car and this car is used every day. It could be that only one person in the family drives the car to
work or for shopping. The number of cars on the road perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so
quickly. The family car is a very useful form of transport but it is also a great waste of energy, especially if
it is compared with buses or trains which use less petrol per person than a car. A car traveling at 80 kilometers
an hour uses only half as much petrol as a car which is traveling at 120 kilometers an hour. Clearly, it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long
as possible.
     About 25% of England"s total consumption (消耗) of energy is domestic - it is used only in the home. Just
over 20% is used for transport. Most of the energy is used in industry. It is difficult to suggest any possible
energy conservation (保护) in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people
would lose their jobs. It is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same
amount of workers. 
     Clearly, conservation is not going to be the answer to the energy problem. The most it can do is to give
more time for a better method to be found. The more time we have to develop new sources of energy, the
better it is because there is still a lot of work to be done in order to find suitable, safe methods of producing
energy. 1. What does the word "domestic" mean in paragraph two?A. Producing energy.
B. Fast driving.
C. On the road.
D. For family use. 2. Why will all vehicles that need oil to work not be able to run?A. Oil resources which are left will be used up soon.
B. A new system of transport will be developed.
C. They will be replaced by electric vehicles.
D. They waste a lot of energy. 3. Which is true according to the passage? A. A car running at 80 km an hour uses more oil than 120 km an hour.
B. Family cars can save much more energy than buses and trains.
C. It is possible for English people to develop vehicles.
D. Fewer cars on the road will help the oil last longer. 4. Which of the suggestions is the best according to the passage? A. Factories should produce less.
B. Vehicles mustn"t go at a high speed.
C. New sources of energy should be found and developed.
D. We should cut down the number of family cars on the road.

阅读理解。     Jackie Joyner-Kersee had a serious asthma attack while running a race at the 1994 U. S. Olympic Festival.
     "I wasn"t afraid of running; I was afraid I might die," said Joyner-Kersee. "I said "Don"t be afraid. . . just
hold on."
     So, what is asthma? It"s a health condition that causes difficulty in breathing. Although it comes and goes,
once you have asthma, you have it for a long time. Different treatments are used for asthma. There are very
strong drugs that can be taken for a long time with few side effects. Today, even people with serious asthma
can take part in sports.
     Joyner-Kersee has had problems with asthma for many years. She said, "I didn"t have this as a little girl.
It wasn"t until I went to California that I noticed it, and then I didn"t want to accept it. When I start feeling
good, I stop taking the medicine. It will be all right. . . . I hope. "
     The race was supposed to start at.5:35 p. m. At 5:00, she began to have trouble breathing. She was
given a breathing test and treatment by a doctor. She said she thought about not running. She was out of
breath.
     "It"s just hard running with asthma," she said. "When I experienced this in practice. I couldn"t breathe.
It was really hard for me. " She said the problem with asthma is that you don"t know when it will happen.
She was fine when she arrived at the stadium. The breathing treatment helped her. Joyner-Kersee"s experience
shows that medical treatment is important. First, if you think you have asthma, see a doctor. Asthma drugs
can protect your lungs. Second, pay attention to your health. Tell your doctor immediately if you wake up and
have trouble breathing. This means the condition is getting worse. Many people don"t want to be known to
have asthma, and then they must go to the hospital.
     Most importantly, remember that with asthma, you can have a normal life. You can even win an Olympic
gold medal. 1. Did Jackie Joyner-Kersee run at the 1994 U. S. Olympic Festival?

     People didn"t use to throw things away. They used to mend their clothes and reused them until they wore
out. When they bought things, they used to carry shopping baskets. But now we don"t reuse things well and
more rubbish has been produced. We throw away 25 million tones of waste in our dustbins (垃圾箱) every
year. That means one family throw away about one thousand kilos of waste.
     We have a strong reason to take it as a serious problem! The fact is that lots of rubbish we throw away
could be reused or recycled (回收利用). The so-called rubbish isn"t really rubbish.
     The UK is one of the worst recyclers in Europe. In other words, in the UK, they"re recycling only about
8% of their everyday waste. That"s much less than many other countries. Germany recycles 10%, while
Japan recycles 40%. The govemment has set a goal of recycling 30% of their everyday waste by the year
2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it. As we know, some habits are difficult to change and some
collection plans are expensive to carry out.
      At present, the movement called Recycle Now in the UK tries to change that situation. The Top designer
(设计师) Oliver Heath is a strong fan of the movement. In 2005 he designed the first home built completeiy
from recycled things, including metal cans and glass bottles. "It always makes me excited when I make good
use of those recycled things," he said, " Maybe in the near future, you can also make something from recycled
computer printers, plastic bags, bottle tops or CDs." When his story was reported on TV, more and more
people begin to try his ideas.
     Some local (地方的) govemments have set up recycling centres where it"s easy for families to take their
empty bottles and old newspapers. Instead of throwing away the so-called rubbish, some families start doing
more about it.
     With the effort of the whole country, we are happy to see some progress in some places in the UK. 1. Do people produce more rubbish than before?
    _________________________________________________
2. Why does the writer think rubbish is a serious problem? 
    _________________________________________________
3. Which country recycles more than 10%, Cermany or Japan? 
    _________________________________________________
4. How does Oliver Heath feel when he turns recycled things into something useful? 
    _________________________________________________
5. What conclusion (结论) can you get about the recycling work in the UK? 
    _________________________________________________

阅读理解。     Are you in shape? To find out, ask yourself some questions: Do I exercise regularly? Do I ever walk places
instead of driving my car? Do I ever play sports for fun? Do I ever take the stairs instead of the elevator? If
you answered no to any or all of the above questions, you are probably out of shape and need to start a fitness
program.
     Exercise is very important. It improves your strength and blood circulation (循环). It gives you more
energy. It can help you relax and sleep well, and it can help control your weight. In fact, the U. S. Surgeon
General says that exercise can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis (a disease that
weakens the bones).
     The first step is to make a program. A good fitness program should be fun. It should involve (包含) both
your arms and your legs, and it should help you to build endurance(the ability to do exercise for a long time).
To make a good program for yourself, first you should think about the types of activities you like to do, what
you think you are able to do, and when you will have time to do it. A good exercise program will involve
cardiovascular activities, such as running, biking, swimming, roller skating, playing soccer or tennis, or
jumping rope. It will also involve weight-bearing exercise, such as weightlifting, and stretching activities.
Also, daily, low-intensity activities such as walking, gardening, dancing, and climbing stairs are good for your
physical health.
     So what are you waiting for? Cet off of the sofa and start exercising. Sign up for yoga, tai chi, or pilates.
Join a gym or a running club, or just start walking a half an hour every day. Every little bit helps!  1. We can learn from the passage that _______. A. exercise can prevent all kinds of diseases
B. a good exercise program should be exciting
C. exercise can help you control your weight
D. it" s not necessary to make an exercise program 2. A good exercise program should involve _______ types of activities. A. two
B. three
C. four
D. five 3. Which of the following is low-intensity activities?A. swimming
B.  jumping rope
C. weightlifting
D. climbing stairs 4. What does the writer mainly tell us? A. Exercise is important and should be part of your daily life.
B. A good exercise program can help you a lot to keep healthy.
C. Exercise can improve your strength and blood circulation.
D. Start to make an exercise program when you are out of shape.

阅读理解。     In our lives, we enjoy everything from computers to cars to heated buildings. These comforts have
something in common: they all need energy to work. Energy has many different forms. One form, electricity,
comes mostly from steam-powered generators (蒸汽发电机). Steam is made by buming coal, oil, or natural
gas. Gasoline(汽油) is another form of energy. Casoline is made from oil. Oil has many other uses. Paints,
fertilizers, and plastics are made from it. We even use it to heat buildings. Coal, oil, and gas are natural
resources (资源). We take them from nature to make our lives easier.
     We can classify (分类) natural resources as either renewable or nonrenewable. Coal, oil, and gas are
nonrenewable. They take millions of years to form. Some scientists predict that we will run out of oil and
gas in 50 to 100 years. Coal is more plentiful. So it may last for hundreds of years. Resources such as wood
and water are renew- able. They can be grown or recycled naturally. They can, however, become limited
from overuse.
     We have developed some altemate (替代的) sources of energy. But these sources have disadvantages. For
example, hydroelectric power, or energy from running water, affects the ecology (生态) of surrounding areas.
Nuclear power (核电), another altemate source, presents the threat (威胁) of nuclear accidents. There are also
problems related to the storage (储存) of nuclear wastes. Solar and wind energies aren"t consistent. We can"t
depend on them. Geothermal energy, caused by heat from inside the earth, is tapped by drawing steam and
hot water from pools and geysers. This energy source, like most others, isn"t fully developed.
      It"s time to get serious about energy. We must find practical, alternate energy sources. If we wait too long,
it will be too late. We will run out of coal, oil, and natural gas. Then we won"t have the resources to make
altemate energy sources. 1. Does oil have many uses? 
    ________________________________________
2. How long may coal last according to the passage?
    ________________________________________
3. Why are wood and water renewable resources? 
    ________________________________________
4. What can be problems with nuclear power? 
    ________________________________________
5. What"s the main idea of the passage? 
    ________________________________________
