阅读理解。     A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don"t laugh, it"s true. Family matters including living habits
and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
     Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard
her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma.
It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
     "We don"t get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family
forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your
family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double.
But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
     Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment
affect our health, too. Ferrer"s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at
home they are more likely to get sick.
     We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别
的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said. 1. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class? [     ]
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her. 2. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE? [     ]
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not. 3. The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph2 probably means _____. [     ]
A. surprise
B. faint
C. tiredness
D. sadness 4. The best title for this passage is _____. [     ]
A. Family relations
B. The reasons why we get sick
C. Family-another cause to health
D. A research about health

阅读理解。     If you"re a male and you"re reading this, congratulations: you"re a survivor. According to statistics, you
are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.
Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you"ll die on
average five years before a woman.
     There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink
and smoke-but perhaps more importantly, men don"t go to the doctor. "Men aren"t seeing doctors as often
as they should," says Dr. Gullotta, "this is particularly so for the over-40s, when disease tend to strike."
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least
once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his
smoker"s cough for a year.
     "When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer," he says, "Earlier
detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life." According to a recent
survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men
in the same age group.
     "A lot of men think they"re undefeatable," Gullota says, "They only come in when a friend drops dead on
the golf course and they think, "Geez, if it could happen to him…"
     Then there"s the ostrich approach. "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not
know," says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
     "Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says. He believes
most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups
for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says, "But prevention is cheaper in the long
run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death." 1. Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage? [     ]
A.They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.
B.Their average life span has been considerably extended.
C.They have lived long enough to read this article.
D.They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life. 2. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?[     ]
A. Men drink and smoke much more than women
B. Men don"t seek medical care as often as women
C. Men aren"t as cautious as women in face of danger
D. Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases. 3. Which of the following best completes the sentence "Geez, if it could happen to him…"?[     ]
A. it could happen to me, too
B. I should avoid playing golf
C. I should consider myself lucky
D. it would be a big misfortune 4. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men? [     ]
A. They may increase public expenses.
B. They will save money in the long run.
C. They may cause psychological strains on men.
D. They will enable men to live as long as women.

阅读下面短文。根据短文内容,在表格中第1至第8小题的空格里填上适当的单词,使信息完整。
每空填一个词。     Smoking is one of the worst things kids can do to their bodies. Every single day, about 4,000 kids between
the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. Most junior school students don"t smoke-only about 1 in 10 does. Most
senior school students don"t smoke either-about 1 in 4 does.
     But why do those who smoke ever begin? There"s more than just one simple answer. Some kids may start
smoking just because they"re curious. Others may like the idea of doing something that grown-ups don"t want
them to do. Still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult.
     Luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. Maybe that"s because more and more
people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease. Sometimes kids don"t worry about what
future illness they might get.
     Nicotine and other poisonous (有毒的) chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and
some kinds of cancer. If kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. It can also make
it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. The longer they smoke, the worse the
damage becomes.
     The human body is smart, and it knows when it"s being poisoned. When kids try smoking for the first time,
they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. This is their lungs" way of trying to
protect them. Also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs or even throw up (呕吐).

     Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit (因纽特人) families going off on
snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea
of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach
of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already
having great effects-if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon
become almost ice-free m summer. The knock-on effects are likely to include more warming, cloudier
skies, and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find out what"s going on in the Arctic.
     For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the toughest environments
on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the
Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outsider experts
tell them what"s happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won
autonomy in the country"s newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing
environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is challenge
in itself.
     The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that"s covered with snow for most of the year.
Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls-this home. Farming
is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years
ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea fish. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the
settlers were successful, sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group
appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in
from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today"s Inuit people.
1. Which of the following is not likely to be the effect of climate change?
[     ]
A. Shorter and shorter summertime. 
B. Ice-free summer around the Arctic.
C. Higher sea levels.
D. More cloudy skies.
2. The Inuit people believe the solution to the climate change problem is _____.
[     ]
A. to change their way of life
B. to use their ancestral knowledge
C. to make the best of modern science
D. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science
3. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that _____.
[     ]
A. the first settlers in the Arctic survived by taking advantage of sea fish
B. it"s hard to farm in the Arctic due to the climate change
C. the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers
D. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools
4. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
[     ]
A. Climate change and the Inuit
B. Climate change around the Arctic
C. Global warming around the world
D. The Inuit and their ancestors around the world

     The energy crisis (危机) has made people aware of how the careless use of the earth"s energy has brought
the whole world to the edge of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more
cars, more traveling, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities and the pollution not only of local air
but also of the earth"s atmosphere. 
     Our present situation is unlike natural disasters of the past. Worldwide energy use has brought us to a state
where long-range planning is vital. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which
endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward in order to work
rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.
     This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation (揭
露) that lawbreaking has reached into the highest place in the land. There is a strong demand for morality to
turn for the better and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of
all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own benefits that people have
been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.
     This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation
with all the other people of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered
oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to employ new
methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.
     To grasp it, we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis we and the world are facing is no
passing inconvenience, no byproduct of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries, no environmentalists"
only fears, no byproduct of any present system of government. What we face is the result of the invention
of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly
from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of
life for the world"s children and future generation.
1. Which of the following has nearly destroyed our cities?
[     ]
A. The loss of beliefs and ideas. 
B. More of law-breaking.
C. Natural di8asters in many areas.
D. The rapid growth of motors.
2. By comparing past problems with present ones, the author draws our attention to the _____.
[     ]
A seriousness of this crisis
B. ineffectiveness of laws
C. similarity of the past to the present
D. hopelessness of the situation
3. Which of the following is used as an example to show the loss of morality? 
[     ]
A. Disregard for law.
B. Lack of devotion.
C. Lack of understanding.
D. Destruction of cities.
4. The author wrote the passage in order to _____.
[     ]
A. make a recommendation for a transformed life style 
B. limit ambitions of the people of the whole world
C. demand devotion to nature and future generation
D. encourage awareness of the decline of morality
