But rea

18、lly,its the weather thats the point of note.The UK has some of the most interesting weather in the world.Britain does not have a CLIMATE.It just has WEATHERIn hot countries most of the indoor places that need to be comfortable are air-conditioned,and in cold countries most of the places that need to

19、 be comfortable are properly heated.The UK is the exception,since the weather is often interesting and no one really takes heat and cold seriously.So although the weather can be very cold,very hot,very wet,or just wildly confused,it always takes people by surprise.When it gets to winter and there is

20、 actually some SNOW,it always takes the people by surprise.It is frontpage news,and even a few inches of snow brings the country to a standstill.But then,what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely.And who could possibly have predicted it?!IT MELTS! Flooding!W

21、hat a surprise!Then in the summer,it gets very hot.If it had been Thailand or Australia,thered be no problem.It is supposed to be hot,so,there is air conditioning.But in the UK,just total confusion at the sudden hot weather.Shock,health problems,and despite the fact that the country is considered to

22、 be where it always rains,summertime brings drought! But do people have cisterns（水箱）and reserve water tanks?Wouldnt it make sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought?Of course it would,but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state,which then

23、means that in emergency people are stuck!Why is the British weather so strange?It is something to do with the combination of an almost Arctic latitude（纬度）combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.Helpful people in the know on geographical meteoro

24、logy（气象学）have commented that the general situation with the UK weather is even more complex,as many different things contribute to the changeable weather.As well as the North Atlantic drift,there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Str

25、eam,the Polar Maritime air from the North,the Arctic Maritime,the Polar Continental,and the Tropical Continental.Theres also fast flowing air in Jet streams.Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley cells and in Ferrel Cells.Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zo

26、nes,and from land or sea,a changeable hot/cold wet/dry weather is found.1、What is the British attitude toward heat and cold?ASerious. BIndifferent. CPositive. DCareful.2、How do the British feel when they see snow in winter?AExcited. BFrightened. CAmazed. DDisappointed.3、What happens when the British

DThey maybe fall into trouble.4、What is the passage mainly about?AWhy weather interests the British. BEnglishmens attitude to weather.CWeather in the United Kingdom. DWhat affects the

28、 weather in the UK.23（8分）Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs cro

29、ssed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. You wont feel any immediate effects, b

30、ut sitting for long periods of time will hurt you forever.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but its not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with y

31、our legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones(骨盆) to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine（脊椎）, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for lon

32、g periods of time your feet and legs get painful or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins（静脉） and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the f

33、eeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it

34、 will also save your health in the long run.1、Which of the following is not the consequence of crossing legs?ANeck and back get hurt.BFeet and legs become numb.CBlood pressure goes up.DPelvic bones keep perfect postures.2、What does the underlined word “rotate” in Para3 mean?Abreak seriouslyBhurt gre

35、atlyCmove casuallyDstraighten suddenly3、What does the text mainly talk about?AHow to choose a proper sitting postureBIt is advisable not to sit with legs crossedCHow to develop beneficial habitsDBlood pressure harms our bodies.24（8分） I never seen the night nor seen a star; Ive seen neither spring no

36、r fall nor winter. I was born at the end of the Reining Age(刹车时代), just as the Earths rotation(旋转) was coming to a final stop.The Reining lasted for 42 years, three years longer than the Unity Government had planned. My mother once told me about the time our family witnessed the last sunset. The Sun

37、 had ever so slowly crept toward the horizon, almost as if it had stopped moving altogether. In the end, it took three days and three nights to finally set. Naturally, that was the end of all “days” and all “nights”. The Eastern Hemisphere(半球) was covered in weak light for a long time then, perhaps

38、for a dozen years or so with the Sun hiding just beyond the horizon its rays reflected by half of the sky. It was during that long sunset that I was born.Dusk did not mean darkness. The Northern Hemisphere was lit up by the Earth Engines. These giant engines had been raised all across Asia and North

39、 America; only the solid plates beneath those two continents could resist the great pushing forces they exerted. There were about 12,000 Earth Engines built and distributed across the Asian and American plains.From my home I could see the bright plasma plumes(等离子气柱) of several hundred Earth Engines.

40、 Just imagine a titanic palace, one as large as the Parthenon on the Acropolis. Now imagine countless titanic pillars rising from that palace, reaching to the heavens, each releasing brilliant, bluish-white light like a titanic shining tube. And then there is you; you are a microbe on the palaces fl

41、oor. This only begins to paint the picture of the world we lived in.This picture, however, is not yet complete. In order to survive the melting temperature of the expanding sun, we have to push the Earth away from it. First, the Earth must be stopped from rotating. Only the forces acting tangentiall

42、y(正切地) to the Earths rotation could slow it, so the Earth Engines had to be built to a specific angle. Those gigantic pillars of light were leaning to that angle. Now imagine what that meant for our palace, with its pillars all leaning on the point of falling down! Many who came from the Southern He

43、misphere went mad when suddenly seeing this awesome view.Worse than the view was the burning heat released by the Earth Engines. Outdoors the temperature was stuck at around 160 to 180 degrees, forcing us to wear special suits just to leave the house. The extremely high temperatures often brought po

44、uring rains. It was always a terrifying scene when the beam of an Earth Engine cut through dark clouds. The clouds scattered the brilliant, bluish-white light of the beam, erupting it into endless rainbow light that covered the entire sky like white-hot magma(岩浆).To my generation, born in the Northe

45、rn Hemisphere, all of this was perfectly normal and natural, just like the Sun, stars and Moon had been to generations before the Reining Age. We called the entire history of the human race that had come before us the Pre-Solar Age; what a fascinating and golden era that had truly been!The Reining A

46、ge left the earth with a horrifying result. The sea tides, quickened by the Earth Engines, had swallowed two out of every three cities in the Northern Hemisphere; then the global increase in temperatures melted the polar icecap, resulting in floods that spread to the Southern Hemisphere. Thirty year

47、s earlier my grandfather had witnessed giant 300-foot waves that had engulfed Shanghai. Even now, he could never tell us about it without his gaze slipping into a thousand-mile stare.Our planet had already changed beyond recognition before it even set out on its journey. Who knew what hardships were

48、 waiting for us on our long travels through outer space?1、What happened when the author was born?AThe earth had stopped turning for forty-two years.BThe sun was making its last fall towards the horizon.CAll the Earth Engines had not been finished.DHis family were suffering from the summer hotness.2、

49、Which of the following about the Earth Engines is right?AThey were built in Asia and North America due to their huge number and weight.BTheir light and heat provided necessary energy for people to survive.CThey were all built to point straight upward to the sky to stop the earth rotating.DTheir exis

50、tence brought both opportunities and inconvenience to people on the earth.3、What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?APeople born in the Southern Hemisphere could enjoy four different seasons.BThe author missed his Pre-Solar Age lifestyle very much.CGrandfather would never forget the scene o

51、f Shanghai being swallowed.DThe author was discouraged but optimistic about the future of the earth.4、In this excerpt(节选)we can clearly see that the author is good at _.Adescribing mental activitiesBvisualizing vivid scenesCdoing experimental analysisDexpressing personal belief5、This excerpt is a pa

53、seven years for smoking a packet of cigarettes a day.Unusually, the Edinburgh university team found their answers by analysing differences in peoples genetic code or DNAFinally they think it will show new ways of helping us to live longer.The group used the genetic code of more than 600, 000 people

54、who are taking part in a natural experiment. If someone smokes, drinks, drops out of school and is overweight, it can be difficult to identify the impact of one specific unhealthy behavior.Instead, the researchers turned to the natural experiment. Some people carry mutations(变异) in their DNA that in

55、crease(食欲) or make them more likely to put on weight, so researchers were able to compare those programmed to eat more with those who were not. The research team also found specific mutations in human DNA that alter lifespan (寿命).Mutations in a gene (a set of instructions in DNA) that is involved in

56、 running the immune system could add seven months of life on average.People with a mutation that increased levels of bad cholesterol knocked eight months off lifespan.A rare mutation in a geneAPOElinked to dementia reduced lifespan by 11 months.And one that made smoking more appealing cut lives by f

57、ive months.Dr Joshi says that while genes do influence lifespan, “youve got even more influence” through the choices you make. Dr Joshi said, “We hope to discover genes affecting lifespan to give us new information about ageing and construct treatment tor ageing.”There are also some disease mutation

58、s that clearly affect lifespan and to destructive effect, such as the Huntingtons gene. People with Huntingtons often die in their 20s.However, in order to follow people until the end of their lives, many of the people studied were born before 1940.1、What is the most difficult for the researchers to

59、 find?AThe differences in peoples genetic code.BThe reasons why people put on weight very easily.CThe results of many natural and massive experiments.DOne bad behaviours effect on people with many bad behaviours.2、Which of the following mutations affects lifespan most greatly?AOne linked to controll

60、ing immune system.BOne increasing unhealthy cholesterol.COne called APOE involved in dementia.DOne making smoking more attractive.3、Whats the meaning of Dr Joshis study?ATo help stop mutations. BTO find diseases earlier.CTO make people live longer. DTO reduce the effects of genes.4、Why did researche
