阅读理解。      Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? 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 adults are so idle they"d catch the lift
rather than climb two flights of stairs.
      Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain"s largest health
charity. The results were startling.
      About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they 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 bus. Worryingly, of the 654
respondents with children, 64% said 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 obese
before they start school.
      Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their
own sake, but 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 rudimentary of
tasks."
      And Scotland"s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most indolent city in the UK, with 75% surveyed
admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
      The results pose serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related 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. 1. How many people questioned don"t play with their children? [     ]
A. 1280.
B. More than 333.
C. 654.
D. About 420. 2. The study leads us to believe that _____. [     ]
A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life
B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don"t get enough exercise
C. British people are the laziest around the world
D. five sixths of the British children are healthy 3. How does the author convince the readers? [     ]
A. By presenting the results of a study.
B. By providing answers to questions.
C. By interviewing some experts.
D. By telling a story. 4. What is the passage mainly about? [     ]
A. A study of British people"s laziness.
B. A study of British people"s lifestyles.
C. The health service in the UK.
D. The obesity problem in the UK.

阅读理解。      The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a
significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
      As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries (画廊) and into public places,
some of the country"s most gifted artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard
edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have
significant collections of modern art in corridors (走道), waiting areas and treatment rooms.
      These recent initiatives(new plans) owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at
a Manchester Hospital in Northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in
modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience. 
      A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place
to hold regular exhibitions of art and paintings, in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal
Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain"s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon
joined by a team of six young art school graduations. 
     The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh
colors, playful images and restful courtyard.
     The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expense when a patient is recovering from an
illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong
painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. 1. What does the author mean by using the phrase "to soften the hard edge of modern buildings" in the second
     paragraph? [     ]
A. To hold exhibitions of art and paintings in hospitals.
B. To tear down the old hospital and build a new one.
C. To decorate hospitals with art collection.
D. To paint the walls of hospitals in soft colors. 2. What is true about Peter Senior? [     ]
A. A famous doctor in Manchester Hospital and a gifted artist.
B. Britain"s first hospital artist and a patient in Manchester Royal Hospital.
C. One of the six young art school graduations.
D. A gifted artist and a pioneer introducing art into hospitals. 3. According to Peter Senior, we can infer that _____.[     ]
A. modern hospitals have a lot of patients
B. art is not appreciated by a large number of people in modern society
C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting
D. artists can not find their positions in modern society 4. What does the last paragraph suggest? [     ]
A. The improvement of hospital environment may help the patients recover from illness.
B. The improvement of hospital environment may cost the patients more than before.
C. The patients needed no painkillers when they had a view of a painting.
D. The patients had no pain at all after the improvement of hospital environment.

阅读理解。     The island nation of Tuvalu (图瓦卢) in the Pacific Ocean wants the bigger countries of the world to do
something about climate change. And it"s not just for the good of the planet: Tuvalu could be covered by the
sea in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter.
     Tuvalu has no industry, burns little petrol, and creates less carbon pollution than a small town in America.
However, this tiny place is on the front line of climate change. The increase in ocean temperatures and the
rising sea level -all resulted from a warming atmosphere-are making trouble for Tuvalu.
     Sea level rise is the greatest problem. With an average elevation (高度) of 6 feet above sea level, Tuvalu
doesn"t have far to go. Tuvalu"s highest elevation is 4.6 meters-15 feet-but most of it is no more than a meter
above the sea. Several times each year the regular lunar cycle of tides (潮水), riding on the ever higher sea
level, brings the Pacific waters over onto roads and into neighborhoods. Sometimes a high tide can flood roads
and run across the whole land. You can never separate the sea from the land, so some natives warned visitors,
"You"d better not run after dark, for you may fall into the sea." 1. What is the greatest problem Tuvalu is facing now? [     ]
A. It has no industry at all.
B. It has little petrol to burn.
C. It will sink into the sea in the near future.
D. The climate there has changed much. 2. Which of the following statements is NOT true? [     ]
A. Tuvalu is a small country.
B. Tuvalu doesn"t create much carbon pollution.
C. Most of Tuvalu is no more than a meter above the sea.
D. A small town in America is on the front line of climate change. 3. What is the title of this passage? [     ]
A. Endangered Tuvalu
B. Tuvalu, an Island Nation
C. Flooded Tuvalu
D. Global Warming

heart.
