第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）

A

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment.

Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.

Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.

From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.

We should also know that “greed” is little related to the environmental crisis. The two main factors are population pressures, especially the pressures of large city population, and the desire to bring a satisfactory living with the lowest possible cost to the largest number of people.

The environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting down the death rate of babies, which has given us the population explosion, success in increasing farm output sufficiently to prevent mass famine(饥荒), success in getting people out of the tenements(租房) of the 19th century city and into the ownership of single family home in the suburb，which has given us urban traffic jams. The environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large.

To overcome the problems that success always creates, one must build on it. But where to start? Cleaning up the environment requires determined, sustained(持续的) efforts with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. Up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities(优先解决的问题).

Can you imagine living without cars, computers or telephones? Some people in the rain forest and mountains of Venezuela and Brazil do just that. One tribe (部落), the Yanomami, has lived the same way for thousands of years. They only have numbers for one, two and more than two, and they have never invented the wheel. But they have also been called some of "the last free people on earth. "

In the late 1920s, researchers found a tribe of people untouched by modern society. This was the first reported meeting with the Yanomami, who were living deep within the South American jungle.

Scientists agree that their location deep in the forest helped their culture unchanged. Until recently, most Yanomami still lived in isolated regions. Everything they needed came from the rain forest. They hunted, fished and farmed the land. Then a discovery brought the outside world to them. And along with it came deadly changes.

Gold was discovered in Yanomami in the 1970s. By 1987, around 80,000 miners had moved into the area. In a fight to take over the land, they killed some Yanomami. They also brought into new sicknesses, including the common cold and malaria. Today over 62 percent of Yanomami show signs of malaria.

Just as deadly were the results of mining, including polluted streams and cleared forests. Within just seven years their population fell by 20 percent.

Today governments and international organizations are looking for ways to protect the Yanomami. The Brazilian government has reserved a large area of land for the tribe. And in 1990, Brazil ordered all the miners out of Amazon region. Yet these things might not be enough. Gold is so valuable that miners keep going back and harming the Yanomami's way of life.

36. When was the existence of the Yanomami first discovered ?

A. In the 1970s

B. In the late 1920s

C. In 1987

D. In 1990

37. What does the underlined word "it" mean in Para 3?

A. the discovery of gold

B. researchers' discovery in the 1920s

C. the outside world

D. the rain forest

38. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The Yanomami is the only remaining "untouched" people on earth.

B. Most Yanomami know the exact meaning of the number 8.

C. The Yanomami learned to use wheels long before.

D. Before miners arrived, the Yanomami had never suffered from malaria.

39. Which of the following was NOT the reason for the sharp decrease of the Yanomami's

population?

A. They starved to death.

B. They were killed in the fight.

C. Their living environment was destroyed.

D. They were killed by the new illnesses brought by miners.

Carbon monoxide（一氧化碳）poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around the world.The gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to create heat.It is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather.

Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently.For example，a small child will experience health problems or die much quicker than an adult will.The general health of the person or his or her age can also be important.An older adult with health problems may suffer the effects of carbon monoxide more quickly than a younger person with no health problems.People with heart disease may suffer chest pains.They may begin to have trouble breathing.

WeChat, first released on Jan. 21, 2011, is very popular with students in middle school or university and its users have reached up to 300 million at present. It is aimed at promoting instant communication among people with voice messaging, text messaging, facial expressing, photo sharing and video sharing. Besides, it provides a chance for the users to share their wonderful stories in life and make many new friends with its amazing function, which helps to search for people who live nearby with the programme on. Personally, I think WeChat makes life easier and sweeter because we can save some money using the interact-based app and at the same time the multimedia communication that it provides enables us to share more with our friends. However, we should not spend too much time on WeChat, which may bring negative effect on our life and study if we become WeChat-addicted.

M ike’s mother did almost everything for him when in high school, which brought him a hard time adjusting to the first-year college life. However, afterwards he got accustomed to

it because of the academic atmosphere and colorful activities there.

As for me, what I do every day is to study hard to enter a famous university, which is always the expectations of my parents and teachers. So traveling among classroom, dormitory and canteen is the routine work. Seldom do I have the time to do some activities. Anyway, unlike you, I have learned how to be independent in a boarding school, which is beneficial to adjust to the college life.

It seems to me the ideal college life is that I become matured both physically and mentally，and that I obtain qualified academic knowledge and get well prepared for society at the same time.

As we all know，college is wildly different from middle school. It connects not only adolescence to adulthood，but also the ivory tower to the real society. So an active part in activities，associations，as well as some romances are three keys to achieving my ideal college life.
