第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A study of 14 years of patient data from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Utah, US, found that the risk of a heart attack or chest pain doubled for people of type A, B, or A

B blood when pollution hits high levels.

In contrast the risk rose only rose by 40 per cent for those with type O. "The association between heart attacks and pollution in patients with non-O blood isn't something to panic over, but it is something to be aware of,” said Dr Benjamin Horne, a clinical epidemiologist(流行病学家) and lead investigator of the study from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City.

“In the information we provide to our patients about pollution, we try to stress that they can do something about it to reduce their risks: Stay indoors out of pollution. Exercise indoors.”

Air pollution in Britain is thought to contribute to around 40,000 early deaths a year, according to the Royal Colleges of Physicians and of Paediatrics and Child Health.

Recent research by the World Health Organisation found that 44 major UK towns and cities now breach WHO guidelines on air quality with particulate levels so high they cause six million sick days each year.

Safe levels of air pollution are generally considered to be under 20 micrograms per cubic metre, but during levels of high pollution, the PM2.5 count - the measure of small particulates in the air - raise to around 60 micrograms per cubic metre. In London it has been known to rise to 197.

The study found that for every additional 10 micrograms over 20, the risk to people with type A, B, or AB blood increased by 25 per cent, but only by 10 per cent for people with type O.

Around 55 per cent of people are A, B, or AB and they are thought to be at greater risk of heart problems because their blood contains greater quantities of a clotting agent.

21. Which of the following is CORRECT?

A. When pollution hits high levels for people of type A, B, or AB blood, the risk of a heart attack or chest pain doubled compared with the people of type O.

B. When pollution hits high levels for people of type A, B, or AB blood the risk of a heart attack or chest pain rose only by 40 percent.

C. The relationship between heart attacks and pollution in patients with non-O blood doesn’t need to panic over

D. Safe levels of the PM 2.5 count are generally considered under 60 micrograms per cubic metre

22. What does the word “break” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A. 达到

B. 违反

C. 符合

D.低于

23.It has been found that for every additional 10 micrograms over 20, people with type A, B, or AB blood have a ____higher risk of heart attack than people with type O

A. 15%

B. 20%

C. 25%

D. 10%

B

Tayka Hotel De Sal

Where: Tahua, Bolivia

How much: About $95 a night

Why it’s cool: You’re stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses (床垫) and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.

Green Magic Nature Resort

Where: Vythiri, India

How much: About $240 a night

Why it’s cool: Ridding a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window—there is no glass!—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.

Dog Bark Park Inn B&B

Where: Cottonwood, Idaho

How much: $92 a night

Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few steps to the loft in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the

12-foot-tall fire hydrant outside.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel

Where: Ayvali, Turkey

How much: Between $130 and $475 a night.

Why it’s co ol: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more modern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool, about 65℉in summer. (Don’t worry—there is heat in winter.)

24. What is the similarity of the four hotels?

A. Being expensive.

What about your performance at today’s class? Are you active enough to focus on the lessons? Nowadays it is common to see students’ laziness and proficiency at class. And that is why schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary Schools in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.

‘Read and Ride’ is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes. It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has dedicated(专门)exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.

Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related

activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at much lower 41%.

Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as ‘Read and Ride’. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement can not all be attributed to programs like ‘Read and Ride’, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates(刺激)brain cells helps prepared it for learning. So don’t be surprised to find more schools the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.

28. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?

A. Kids excise balls in the classroom

B. Kids ride bikes when they are reading

C. Kids attend reading classes at the gym

D. Kids stand on the desks while reading

29. How old the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?

A. They exercise with high pressure

B. They become more active in sports

C. They feel reading fun and learn better

D. They become more independent in reading

30. Which of the following is the closets in the meaning to the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?

A. be due to

B. be occupied with

C. be devoted to

D. be addicted to

31. What is the author’s attitude towards this program?

A. Neutral

B. Negative

C. Doubtful

D. Positive

To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians

have ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.

What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.

of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the “introduction this wonderful new fruit--or is it a vegetable?” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an ”evil fruit”.

But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820,people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead.” What are you afraid of?” he shouted. ”I’ll show you fools these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.

32. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ______.

A. it made Christians evil

B. it was the apple of Eden

C. it came from a forbidden land

D. it was religiously unacceptable

33. What can we infer the underlined part in Paragraph 3 ?

A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down

B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato

C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries

D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato

34. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato Publicly ?

A. To make himself a hero

B. To remove people’s fear of the tomato

C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato

D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory

35. What is the main purpose of the passage ?

A .To challenge people’s fixed concepts of the tomat o

B. To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato

C. To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato

D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence
