阅读理解。     In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his
stay in China, he discovered that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use
paper money until the 15th century.
     A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood.
     Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. Every day, people throw away
about 280 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are
cutting nearly 4800 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start
using less paper now. If we don"t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of
those we use for paper. 
     So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are
making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We also use cotton
handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop
assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. 1. Who was Marco Polo? [     ]
A. He was a traveler of Italy.
B. He was an inventor of Italy
C. He discovered how to use paper money
D. He stayed in China 2. People in western countries first used paper money in the ______ century. [     ]
A. 15th
B. 13th
C. 7th
D. 17th 3. How many trees does it take to make one ton of paper? [     ]
A. 10
B. 17
C. 280
D. 4800 4. Which of the following is not the way of saving paper? [     ]
A. To use both sides of every piece of paper.
B. To grow more trees.
C. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.
D. To use the paper bags from shops more than once. 5. Which is the best title of the passage? [     ]
A. Saving Paper
B. Cai Lun, the Great Inventor
C. Handkerchiefs Back Again
D. Story of Paper

    It"s nine o"clock, time for Health Report.
    There has not been a worldwide spread (传播) of flu (流行性感冒) since 1968. Experts say there should
have been another by now.
    The so-called Spanish flu in 1918 became the most deadly flu ever recorded. It killed an estimated twenty
million to fifty million people. Almost half were young adults.
    There were two other widespread flu in the twentieth century. The Asian flu struck in 1957, and the Hong
Kong flu in 1968. 
     Scientists at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the cause of the widespread
Spanish flu is not clear. But the two others are known to have resulted from a human virus that became mixed
with a bird flu virus. And that could happen again.
     Scientists first identified bird flu in Italy more than one hundred years ago. Bird flu is caused by type A flu
viruses. Type A are the most common, and usually cause the most serious flu spread in people. Currently the
most serious kind of bird flu is known as h-five-n-one. It has spread among chickens and ducks in Asia.

                                                   Healthy Days Raymond Knott 
                                     Published by Macbooks, London, 2004 212 pages
    Bookshops are full of books on healthy living. A new book needs a new idea. Raymond Knott"s idea is
to organize his book like the human body with chapters on the head, eyes, chest and so on.
    Knott believes that we keep healthy by having a peaceful mind. He thinks we should not get too excited
about anything. He says people cannot be happy if they are not healthy, and cannot be healthy if they are
not happy. Some readers, like this one, may not agree with this.
    Knott has a lot to say about diet. One problem with the book is that he often says the same thing more
than once, so the same information on diet is given in the chapters on the skin, heart and stomach. Maybe
he does not expect people to read the book from start to finish, but only to read the chapters they are
interested in.
    Knott tells us to eat very little meat. He says fruit and vegetables are much more healthy for us. In the
chapter on the mouth, he advises us not to eat much sugar, and in the chapter on the heart, he writes a lot
about how dangerous salt is. Knott is a fan of water, and thinks we should drink as much as possible to
wash away things that are bad for us. He thinks this is the way to have good skin.
    In the chapter on the chest, Knott tells us to keep our lungs healthy by not smoking, and by making
them work hard. He believes that climbing stairs, steps and even mountains is very good exercise. This
exercise is also good for the heart. Knott says a lot more on exercise in the chapters on the arms and legs.
These are my favourite chapters. There are a lot of ideas for keeping fit and strong. Clear diagrams explain
the movements and they are easy to follow. 
    Knott believes that we can all be healthy by following his advice. I do not really agree with him. Healthy
living is very important, but not all ill-health is caused by the way we live. Sometimes our bodies are weak
and the problem is genetic, coming from our family, not from our habits. Knott does not say much about
doctors either. Going for health checks and tests is important, especially as we get older. Knott"s book has
lovely pictures and some interesting ideas, but not all of them are good.
A. Reviewer"s opinion of the book
B. Healthy diet advice
C. Organization of the book
D. Exercise advice
E. Repeated information Health and happiness advice
F. Health and happiness advice

                                                                   Stopping Smoking
    The Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places (上海市公共场所控烟条例) took
effect (作用) on March 1, 2010. Smoking have been banned (禁止) in the city"s kindergartens, schools,
hospitals, stadiums, public service areas, shopping malls, libraries, theaters and museums, among other
places, and violators will be fined. 
     But the public and media are not optimistic (乐观) about the implementation (实施) of the regulations.
     To make the regulations really effective, basic power comes from passive smokers. The aim of the
regulations is to protect their health rights, and passive smokers in turn, it is hoped, will take action to
safeguard those rights by applying the regulations.
     But few non-smokers are ready to stand up to fight against smoking because they are not confident
about stopping the smokers. They understand the power of individuals (个人) is limited.
     If they can form nongovernmental organizations, the situation will change. I believe many individuals,
including non-smokers and passive smokers, will actively take part in organized fight against smoking.
     To this end, when legal powers do not cover all public places, nongovernmental organizations will be
an effective power in fighting against smoking.
1. The Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places ______.
[     ]
A. has not taken effect
B. has taken effect for nearly two months
C. doesn"t take effect in the bookshop
D. encourages people to smoke
2. Many people in Shanghai think that the Regulations ______.
[     ]
A. are useless
B. will not do well
C. are not reasonable
D. are for rich people
3. What does passive smokers mean?
[     ]
A. 曾经吸烟者
B. 被动吸烟者
C. 年老吸烟者
D. 吸烟传递者
4. Why do so many non-smokers not safeguard their rights?
[     ]
A. Because they like to smell cigarette.
B. Because they don"t have the rights to stop other people smoking.
C. Because they don"t know the regulations.
D. Because they think the power of each person is small.
5. ______ will play an important role in fighting against smoking.
[     ]
A. Teachers and students
B. Mothers and children
C. The public and media
D. Nongovernmental organizations
阅读下面一篇文章,从每小题所给出的A、B、C、D中找出第二至第五段各段的最恰当的大意。
    I know what you"re thinking: pizza (比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last
night"s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
    I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for
doing it. Some say they don"t have time, others think they"re "saving" calories (卡路里, 热量单位), still
others just don"t like breakfast food.
    But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you"re trying to lose weight.
"Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all," says Katherine
Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year"s "SELF CHALLENGE". And
even pizza can be healthy if it"s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
    Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research
shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of
Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who
regularly have a morning meal.
    So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast
altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night"s leftovers-it may sound
crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, "You can always eat it tomorrow," I put away
the leftovers, instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories.
And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
1. Paragraph 2:
[     ]

C. Excuses of not having breakfast.
D. Breakfast is overlooked.
2. Paragraph 3:
[     ]
A. The bottom line in the morning.
B. Breakfast is necessary.
C. SELF CHALLENGE.
D. Pizza loaded with vegetables.
3. Paragraph 4:
[     ]
A. Breakfast prevents people from overeating.
B. Weight loss success stories.
C. University of Southern California.
D. Breakfast skippers in California.
4. Paragraph 5:
[     ]
A. Friends without breakfast.
B. Leftover is some good kind of breakfast.
C. Eat it tomorrow.
D. Save pre-bedtime calories.
