for an answer, i checked with tim flannery, author of the weather makers: how man is changing the climate and what it means for life on earth. in his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting(融化) of the ice sheets in greenland or west antarctica. “to stay below that point, we need to reduce co2 emissions by 80 percent, “ he said. good advice, i thought. id opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. wed gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. id almost forgotten the windows even opened. we should not let this happen again. its time for us to change our habits if necessary. 1. why did the author and his wife try a new diet? a. to take special kinds of food. b. to respond to climate change. c. to lose weight. d. to improve their health. 2. the underlined words “tipping points” most probably refer to “”.a. freezing points b. burning pointsc. melting pointsd. boiling points3. it can be inferred from the passage that.a. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning on all the timeb. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of co2c. the average us household produces about 3, 000 pounds of co2 a monthd. the average european household produces about 1, 000 pounds of co2 a month4. which of the following would be the best title for this passage? a. saving energy starts at homeb. changing our habits begins at workc. changing climate sounds reasonabled. reducing emissions of co2 proves difficult【参考答案】8.1-4 bcba 维d 根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。(每题2分，满分10分)daily habits can affect our wellbeing.here are five simple actions that research has shown make people feel good.1.pause now and then to smell a rose or watch children at play.“study participants who took time to savor ordinary events that they normally hurried through，or to think back on pleasant moments from their day，showed significant increases in happiness and reductions in depression，”says psychologist sonja lyubomirsky.2.people who put money high on their priority list are more at risk for depression，anxiety，and low selfesteem，according to researchers tim kasser and richard ryan.their findings hold true across nations and cultures.“the more we seek satisfactions in material goods，the less we find them there，”ryan says.“the satisfaction has a short halflifeits very fleeting.” moneyseekers also score lower on tests of vitality and selfactualization.3.“people who struggle for something significant，whether its learning a new craft or raising moral children，are far happier than those who dont have strong dreams or aspirations，”say ed diener and robert biswasdiener.“as humans，we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.”harvards professor，tal benshahar，agrees，“happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning.whether at work or at home，the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.” 4.people who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis are healthier，more optimistic，and more likely to make progress toward achieving personal goals，according to author robert emmons.research by martin seligman，founder of positive psychology，revealed that people who write “gratitude letters” to someone who made a difference in their lives score higher on happiness，and lower on depressionand the effect lasts for weeks.5.a study by duke university shows that exercise may be just as effective as drugs in treating depression，without all the side effects and expense.other research shows that in addition to health benefits，regular exercise offers a sense of accomplishment and opportunity for social interaction，releases feelgood endorphins，and boosts selfesteem.答案1.c2.d3.b4.e5.adirections: read the following three passages. each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.【湖南省怀化市2014高考英语3月一模试题】ait is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower. we are, but were also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didnt even know about. a showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called mycobacteriumthese can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身体不舒服). when you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body. this is a finding of norman r. pace and his team at the university of colorado, in the us. the scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showerspaces team looked at 45 showerheads in nine american cities. they discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying mycobacterium. but pace said that they pose few threats to the healthonly those with a weak immune system might need to worryhe told the new york times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thoughthe said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morningbut for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. why? the number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. if that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months. however, pace had good news too. he has also been testing the air in us subways. apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. the reason is that a trains movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels. pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places. this kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack.56. from the finding of norman r. pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired because . a. its easy to get a cold when taking a bathb. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illness c. we dont get cleaned while showeringd. we dont get a weak immune system57. according to the passage, which of the following is true?
