18、nfluence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life. Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectati

19、ons. The business also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly. Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs, CDs, television, Play Stations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursu

20、its. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle. The media provide entertainment and information. Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard (轰

21、炸) their audience with “perfect“ body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do. Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer fro

22、m breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life. An important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy if he/she is motivated

23、enough!（分数：12.50）(1).The passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.50）A.benefits of a healthy lifestyleB.demands of daily lifeC.factors affecting a healthy lifestyleD.a positive approach to healthy living(2).The word “sedentary“ in Paragraph 4 probably means _.（分数：2.50）A.having a lot of things to doB.involvin

24、g little exercise or physical activityC.being isolated from the outside worldD.experiencing a lot of stress(3).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor leading to the popularity of fast food?（分数：2.50）A.Cheap price.B.The media.C.Busy lifestyles.D.Convenience.(4).Which is NOT

25、 listed as a factor influencing the ability to have a healthy lifestyle?（分数：2.50）A.Pollution.B.Economic factors.C.Dependence upon cars.D.Influence of family or friends.(5).According to the author, _ may be the most important factor influencing healthy lifestyles.（分数：2.50）A.technologyB.cultural backg

26、roundC.environmentD.the desire to be healthy四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.50)A recent study demonstrated how powerful a few words can be: Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way. Just before each ball appeared, the players saw or heard comments like “Good sho

27、t“ or “Bad shot“. The reaction times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower. And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game and not make unforced errors. What is the explanation? Negative feedback weakens anyone“s belief in his or her ability to succeed.

28、 But if you can hold on to a winning attitude, you“ll make a greater effort and also create positive drive. Confident people inspire others; opportunities seem to come their way more often. They become magnets for success. Learn the importance of giving yourself pep talks , and keep the voice in you

29、r head positive. The best athletes“ success is rarely due to raw talent alone, and it“s because they“re simply better prepared. They stay focused, they“re willing to work as hard as they need to, and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on. Perhaps the most important aspect of being

30、your own coach is to do what any outside adviseror a good parent, for that matterwould preach: practice, practice, practice. Avoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidence. Hang out with the people who see you at your best, and remind you about it every so often. Pessimists drag

31、 you down, as do whiners and critics. If there“s one winning behavior that people building confidence should model, it“s the willingness to get back into the game after a setback. Don“t nurse your wounds. There are, however, important warnings. Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing you t

32、o lose your head and forget to think clearly. If you suffer a terrible loss, give yourself time to absorb the blow. Don“t deny the hurt or try to solve the problem immediately. Gather your support system around you and simply get nurtured. Sitting around and thinking about your loss is the worst thi

33、ng you can do to solve your problem.（分数：12.50）(1).We learn from the first paragraph that _.（分数：2.50）A.excellent performance often goes with well-trained playersB.excellent performance often goes with positive commentsC.high-tech methods help players avoid unforced errorsD.high-tech methods increase

34、players“ competitiveness(2).People who want to succeed should first imagine themselves to be _.（分数：2.50）A.an observerB.an inspirerC.a creatorD.a winner(3).The phrase “pep talks“ in Paragraph 3 means “talks“ which _.（分数：2.50）A.encourage peopleB.entertain peopleC.impress peopleD.interest people(4).The

35、 writer thinks that you should keep company with those who _.（分数：2.50）A.point out your mistakesB.tolerate your weaknessesC.emphasize your strengthsD.understand your complaints(5).In the face of a severe loss, the best thing you can do is to _.（分数：2.50）A.deny the hurtB.try to forget itC.solve it at o

36、nceD.accept it calmly五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)At the first sight the planet Mars (火星) does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below -50 and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of t

37、he planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. A

38、t that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists. Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. Th

39、e first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun“s heat in the planet“s atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide, simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might

40、take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.（分数：12.50）(1).Some scientists think there may hav

41、e been life on the Mars in the past because _.（分数：2.50）A.there is no life there nowB.there is a large amount of water at the polesC.the Mars may be able to support life in the futureD.conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth(2).There could be life on the Mars in the future if _.（分数：2.5

42、0）A.it supported life in the pastB.certain gases are used to cool the planetC.the atmosphere can be heated enough to grow simple plantsD.the planet“s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past(3).People may be able to live on the Mars _.（分数：2.50）A.within the next 200,000 yearsB.only 200,000

43、 years from nowC.only 150,000 years from nowD.as soon as the planet becomes cool enough(4).The author“s attitude towards the possibility of life on the Mars in the future is _.（分数：2.50）A.doubtfulB.positiveC.negativeD.uninterested(5).Which is the best title for this passage?（分数：2.50）A.The Possibility

44、 of Life on the MarsB.Future Conditions on the MarsC.The Mars and the EarthD.A Study of the Climate of the Mars六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)The standardized educational or psychological tests that are widely used to aid in selecting, classifying, assigning, or promoting students, employees, and mil

45、itary personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books, magazines, the daily press, and even in Congress. The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools, with ch

46、aracteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified condition. Whether the results will be valuable, meaningless, or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user. All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of

47、 relevant past performance. How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability, and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available

48、is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error. Standardized tests should be considered in this context. They provide a quick, objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person has learned, the skills he has developed, or the kind of person he is. T

49、he information so obtained has, qualitatively, the same advantages and short-comings as other kinds of information. Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the empirical evidence concerning comparative validity, and upon such factors as cost and availability. In
