it is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. but what if making your morning jog a creative one? like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? just like the james bond in the movie casino royale? bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. it is just because of bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide. yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. parkour is considered as an extreme sport. as its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that. overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. this is the same as life. you must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. a parkour lover said, “i love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything. ”another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. it can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. it is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. 26. parkour has become popular throughout the world because of _. a. its founder, david belleb. the film, casino royalec. its risks and tricksd. the varieties of participants27. the underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_ ”. a. streetsb. objectsc. barriersd. roofs28. which of the following is true of parkour?

a. they can go out for a walk with their owners. b. they can be better looked after. c. they wont have to take paper to their owners. d. they can get on well with their owners. 33. the family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner because _. a. people gradually lose their interest in newspapersb. family dogs dont want to do that any morec. people dont want to read newspapersd. people prefer to use computers for news and information34. the underlined word“provided” means _ in the passage. a. offeredb. supposedc. as long asd. even though35. the purpose of the writer of writing the passage is to tell us _. a. more and more people choose to use computersb. computers have reached every aspect of our lifec. personal computers will replace family dogs as mans best friendsd. family dogs are not as useful as they used to be（c）kids with type 1 diabetes who spend hours in front of a tv or computer each day may have poorer blood sugar control, a new study suggests.its not clear why the relationship exists, and the findings do not prove that “screen time” itself worsens kids diabetes control. but factors like obesity, exercise habits and family income did not explain the connection, the study found. among 296 children, teens and young adults with type 1 diabetes, those who spent four or more hours per day in front of a tv or computer had higher hemoglobin a1c levelsa measure of blood sugar control over the past few months. on average, their hemoglobin a1c was 9. 3 percent, versus about 8. 5 percent among their peers who spent less time in front of a screen. experts recommend that adults keep their a1c levels below 7 percent, while levels in children and teens can go as high as 8. 5 percent, depending on their age. the goal of reining in blood sugar is to help reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications (并发症) which range from heart and kidney disease, to nerve damage to vision loss. exactly why screen time was connected to blood sugar control in this study is not clear, according to the researchers, led by dr angela galler of charite-universitatsmedizin berlin in germany. one possibility, they say, is that kids who spend more time in front of the tv or computer snack more often. so it may be more difficult to control their blood sugar than when they stick with more regular meals. people with type 1 diabetes have to inject insulin every day, generally timed around meals, to control their blood sugar levels. but while snacking could be a culprit, this study cannot really prove that screen time is at all to blame for the poorer blood sugar control, according to dr sanjeev mehta, a diabetes specialist who was not involved in the research. one limitation of the study is that it measured kids screen time and their blood sugar control at one time point. 36. what is the passage mainly talking about? a. kids with type 1 diabetes like watching tv or sitting in front of a computer. b. kids who spent four or more hours per day in front of a tv or computer suffer from type 1 diabetes. c. snacking while watching tv or playing in front of a computer develops type 1 diabetes. d. screen time may worsen type 1 diabetes in kids. 37. the underlined word “reining” means _. a. improvingb. developingc. controld. balance38. why may kids with type 1 diabetes have poorer blood sugar control according to the study? a. because they spend too long time in front of the screen. b. because spending long time in front of the screen has direct connection with poorer blood sugar control. c. because of the bad habits companied with their screen time. d. because of their obesity, exercise habits and family income. 39. we can infer from the passage that _. a. kids who spent four or more hours per day in front of a tv or computer may develop type 1 diabetesb. obesity, exercise habits and family income may contribute to diabetesc. snacking in front of the tv or computer may cause diabetesd. teens develop diabetes more easily than adults40. dr sanjeev mehta believes that _. a. the study is believableb. the study is unbelievablec. snacking is not to blame for the poorer blood sugar controld. the measure of kids screen time and their blood sugar is limited at one time point（d）2012杭州模拟any discussion of english conversation, like any english conversation, must begin with the weather. and in this spirit of observing traditional rule, i shall quote dr johnsons famous comment that “when two english meet, their first talk is about the weather”, and point out that this observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago. this, however, is the point at which most people either stop, or try, and fail, to come up with a convincing explanation for the english “addiction” to the weather. they fail because their premise (前提) is mistaken: they assume that our conversations about the weather are conversations about the weather. in other words, they assume that we talk about the weather because we have a keen interest in the subject. most of them then try to figure out what it is about the english weather that is so fascinating. bill bryson, for example, concludes that the english weather is not at all fascinating, and that our “addiction” to it is therefore very difficult to explain, “to an outsider, the most striking thing about the english weather is that there is not very much of it. all those phenomena that elsewhere give nature an edge of excitement, unpredictability and dangertornados, monsoons, hailstormsare almost wholly unknown in the british isles. ”jeremy paxman takes offence at brysons comments and argues that the english weather is truly fascinating:bryson misses the point. the interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty. . . . one of the few things you can say about england with absolute certainty is that it has a lot of weather. it may not include tropical cyclones but life at the edge of an ocean and the edge of a continent means you can never be entirely sure what youre going to get. my research has convinced me that both bryson and paxman are missing the point, which is that our conversations about the weather are not really about the weather at all: english weather-speak is a form of code, developed to help us overcome our natural reserve (含蓄) and actually talk to each other. everyone knows, for example, that “nice day, isnt it? ”, “oh, isnt it cold? ”; and other variations on the theme are not requests for weather data: they are greetings or conversation-starters. in other words, english weather-speak is a form of “cleaning talk”the human equivalent of what is known as “social cleaning” among our primate (灵长类的) cousins, where they spend hours cleaning each others fur, even when they are perfectly clean, as a means of social connection. 41. according to the author, most peoples explanations for the english love for weather talk are _. a. scientificb. incorrectc. fascinatingd. accurate42. as is stated in the passage, most people try to find out _. a. why the english weather is so uniqueb. whether the english enjoy their weatherc. why the english are so interested in the topic of weatherd. whether the english really talk about weather when they do so43. in bill brysons opinion, the english “addiction” to their weather is _. a. understandableb. convincingc. respectabled. unreasonable44. disapproving of bill brysons opinion, jeremy paxman argues that _. a. the english talk about their weather because it is unpredictableb. the english dont talk about weather as often as the outsiders thinkc. the english weather can be as exciting as anywhere elsesd. the english weather talk is merely a form of small talk45. according to the author, english weather-speak is similar to primates social cleaning in that they are both _. a. ways of greetingb. means social connectionc. fascinating topics between peopled. phenomena difficult to understand to outsiders第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)请阅读下列广告和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。以下是旅游景点的信息：a. agra fortnear the gardens of the taj mahal stands the important 16th-century mughal monument known as the red fort of agra. this powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2. 5-km-long enclosure walls, the imperial city of the mughal rulers. it comprises many fairy-tale palaces, such as the jahangir palace and the khas mahal, built by shah jahan; audience halls, such as the diwan-i-khas; and two very beautiful mosques. b. taj mahaltaj mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. the taj mahal is the most beautiful monument built by the mughals, the muslim rulers of india. taj mahal is built entirely of white marble. it was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. it was completed in 1648c. e. at a cost of 32 million rupees. c. keoladeo national parkthis former duck-hunting reserve of the maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from afghanistan, turkmenistan, china and siberia. some 364 species of birds, including the rare siberian crane, have been recorded in the park. d. humayuns tomb, delhithis tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the indian subcontinent. it inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction of the taj mahal. the gardens also contain the red-and-white sandstone and black-and-yellow marble tomb of humayuns wife and the tomb of humayuns barber. e. grand canyon national parkthe grand canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the united statesand one of the wonders of the world. much of the parks beauty is related to its geology and ecology. schmidt explores t
