is that some people lacked understanding about these animals                          6

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can’t you be bothered to do?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle(懒散的)that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield HealthBritain’s largest health centerThe results were extremely surprising.

About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was brokenthey would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a busWorryingly, of the 654 respondents with children64said they were often too tired to play with them

This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obesevery fatbefore they start schoo1.

Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sakebut for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”

 “If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”

And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75questioned admitting they do not get enough exercisefollowed closely by Birmingham and Southamptonboth with 67.

The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Servicewhere obesityrelated illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and  are costing billions of pounds every year.

1How many people questioned don’t play with their children?

       A1280.                                                  BMore than 333.   

       C654                                               DAbout 420.

2The study leads us to believe that       .

       Athe pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life

       BGlasgow people feel ashamed because they don’t get enough exercise

       CBritish people are the laziest around the world

       Dfive sixths of the British children are healthy

3How does the author convince the readers?

       ABy presenting the results of study.         BBy providing answers to questions.

       CBy interviewing some experts.               DBy telling a story.

4What is the passage mainly about?

       AA study of British people                       BA study of British people’s lifestyles.

       CThe health service in the UK.                DThe obesity problem in the UK.

Are the British people Europeans? This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as EuropeansBut the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as EuropeansThe Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak EnglishEurope is “the  Continent ”, a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involvedThus , although geographically speaking Britain is part of Europe ,yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them ,or even to understand them , in time of need.

Where did the British people come from? This is an interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe Nobody knows very much about Britain before Romans came during the first century B.C., but there had been at least three invasions before thatThe first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the IberiansThe other two were by Celtic tribes ;first the Gaels , whose descendants (后代)are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language; and secondly the Britons ,who gave their name to the whole island of BritainThese were the people whom the Romans conqueredThe Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”, i.ethe numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe .

1By raising the question in Paragraph One , the author        .

       Ashows his doubt whether the British are Europeans

       Bmeans that both Africans and Asians are foolish

       Cmakes the readers interested in his article

       Dmeans that the British are wrong

2Which phrase best describes the attitude of the British towards “the Continent”?

       AFull of love    BMixed feelings     CMuch envy     DLack of interest

3The British feel very different because        .

       Athey are separated geographically from the continent

       Bthey were once attacked by the people on the continent

       Cthey sometimes fail to help the continental countries in time of need

       Dthey are considered rather difficult to understand by other countries

4Which shows the correct order in which different races invaded British?

       Athe Iberians, the Britons, the Gaels , the Barbarians, the Romans.

       Bthe Romans, the Iberians, the Scots and Irish , the Barbarians.

       Cthe Iberians, the Gaels, the Britons , the Romans, the Barbarians.

       Dthe Iberians, the Scots and Irish , the Romans, the Barbarians.

Thinking of throwing your old cell phone? Think againMaybe you should mine it first for gold, silver and other metalsIt’s called “urban mining”, searching through the small pieces of metal in electronic products for gold, silver and other expensive metalsIt is a growing industry around the world as prices for metal grow higher and higher.

The gold and other precious metals from electronic products are melted down and then soldThe metals can be made into jewelry or circuit (电路)for mobile phones“It can be precious, so we want to recycle whatever we can,” said Tadahiko Sekigawa, president of Eco-System Recycling CoLtd.

A ton of ore(矿石)from a gold mine produces just 5 grams of gold on average, while a ton of mobile phones can give 150 grams or more, according to a study by Yokohama Metal Co-Ltd., another recycling companyThe same amount of useless mobile phones also contains around 100 kg of copper and 3 kg of silver, among other metals.

Recycling has become  more important because prices of metals have hit record highsEco-Systems, opened 20 years ago near Tokyo, usually produces about 200 to 300 kg of gold bars a month, worth about $5.9 million to $8.8 millionThat’s about the same as a small gold mine.

Education is an expensive part of American lifeIts size is matched by its varietyDifferences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyoneSchools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itselfThis means that public schools offer more than academic subjectsIt surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing , radio repair, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languagesStudents choose their courses depending on their interests, future goals, and level of abilityThe basic goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of community.

Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and originsSchools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.

The teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning factsInstead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilitiesStudents spend much time learning how to use materials, libraries, statistics, and computersAmericans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their livesKnowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation(积累)of facts

This is America’s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time, “How can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?”

1The underlined words “reason well” probably means__        .

       Apersuade firmly                                   Blist the reasons clearly 

       Cthink logically                                    Dconclude immediately 

2It is implied in the passage that__        .

       Aall high-school students take the same courses

       Bevery student must take practical ability training courses

       Cevery public school offers the same academic subjects

       Dthe subjects every student takes may vary

3American schools place great emphasis on the learners’__      __.

       Aknowledge                             Baccumulation of facts

       Ccreativity                             Dability to work with hands

4What makes American education different from others?

       AThe large number of schools          BThe variety of the courses.

A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.

Using the same technology as a dehumidifier(除湿器),the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air

The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in

developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage

The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter(过滤器)and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water dropletsIt can produce up to 1 2 liters a dayThe Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increasesIn keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.

Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chartSo people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”

The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost 800 when it goes on sale here in the springIts maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a liter of water cost around 20p to produce.

Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.

The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.

1What does the underlined word “it” refer do?

       ADrinking water.                                    BInvention.

       CMicrowave.                                         DWater Mill.

2What do we learn about the machine?

       AIt works in the same way as microwaves

       BIt is very expensive for families to afford.

       CIt absorbs steam and turns it into water

       DIt helps to make the water clean to drink.

3What does the passage lead us to believe?

       AThe cost of water will go up.                BBottled water will disappear sooner.

       CThe machine is energy saving.              DThe machine will be popular worldwide.

4What’s the best title for the passage?

       AA New Way to Solve Water Problem.     BA Machine to Make Water out of Air.

       CA Dehumidifier to Produce Water.          DAn Absolutely New Invention
