To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked hard physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didnt watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting fact: The more the man ran, the greater loss of the body fat. The more they ran, the greater increase in food intake.Thus, those who ran most ate most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1. What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?A. They are too fat B. They work too hard C. They are too slim D. They lose too much body fat2. Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 5000 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a “weight problem”? A. 1500 B. 1000 C. 1200 D. 18003. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910_.A. ate less food but had more activities B. ate more food and had physical activities C. ate less food and had less physical exercise D. had more weight problems4. What have medical and scientific researches reported to us?A. Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake, B. Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active. C. Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active. D. Fat people eat less food and are less active. B Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock.

The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out shout that could be heard halfway down the street.At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. Please explain why youre so late, his boss said. Go and jump in the lake, replied Frank. Ive just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men,neatly dressed in grey suits. Mr Smithson, one of them said, were from Bigwoods Pools. Im afraid theres been a terrible mistake5. What do we know about Frank? A.

On hearing theres been a terrible mistake Frank was most likely to be_. A. excited B. worried C. nervous D. disappointed CAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough，the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent（程度）our intelligence is given to us at birth，and special education can never make a genius(天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to say that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 8. 1. The writer is likely to agree that mans intelligence is given to him_.A. at birth B. through educationC. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education9. A child who lives in rich and varied surroundings turns out higher in intelligence because _.A. these surroundings are likely to help him reach the limits of their intelligence B. he can break the limits of intelligence fixed at birthC. his family is rich and provides him with various healthy foodD. his family is rich and therefore can afford to develop his intelligence10. In the second paragraph the underlined part “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population” means “if we _”A. choose two persons who are relativeB. choose two persons with different intelligence C. pick out two persons who are sisters or brothersD. pick out identical twins11. The best title for this passage might be _. A. Birth and Environment B. The Answer to a QuestionC. Intelligence D. Intelligence and Education DLONDON (Reuters)Ecotourism is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.Biologists and conservationists(环保者) are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.“Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard”New Scientist magazine said.The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates. or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see. ”Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10-30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projects are audited（审计） and based on environmentally friendly policies，according to the magazine.Transmission of disease to wildlife，or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding，” said Philip Seddon , of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by colorists are producing smaller babies.Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.“The animals welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism，” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand12.Which is not discovered to have changed in animals disturbed by tourists? A. birth rate B. behavior C. hormone levels D. heart rates13.We may learn from the text that _.A. polar bears are losing weight without enough foodB. ecotourism must be developed properly C. money produced through ecotourism should be spent on wildlife D. all the poor countries have stopped ecotourism14.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? A. Many animals do not react well in their backyardB. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 1030 percent a year.D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started15.What Rochelle Constantine said in the last paragraph implies that _.A. animals are peoples good friendsB. animals have rights to live their own lifeC. if people want to get high income, they must develop ecotourismD. people should take good care of wildlife第二节七选五（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is not so easy to disagree with your parents.
