The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important. One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education 1.What’s the best title of the passage? A．Prevention or Education? B．Prevention or Treatment? C．Health or Illness? D．Exercise or Illness? 2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt’’? A．Unable to be cured B．Unable to pay one’s debts C．Stronger than ever before D．More successful than ever before 3.We learn from the passage that A．dressing warmly can prevent diseases B．a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise C．the more health education, the better D．the government’s health budget should be increased 4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

LONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The advantages are obvious; they firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere. However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming. Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide. Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life. Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean. Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason there is the need to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.” An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson. In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions(解决办法) to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge. 1.People usually hold the opinion that . A．huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide B．huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth C．huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for man D．planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms 2.Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that . A．dust plays a more important part than trees B．trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry places C．carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth D．environmental problems are more complex than expected 3.Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that . A．grassland areas should be covered by forests B．trees hold more carbon than grass C．carbon can turn grass into dust D．less carbon can make trees grow faster 4.The underlined word “combat” in the last paragraph means . A．learn about B．fight against C．live with D．give up
When Jackie Robinson walked onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York, on April 15, 1947, he changed baseball forever. As the first African American to play in the Major League in modern times, many believe he changed the country forever. Robinson was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. But playing for a major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race. Branch Rickey, president and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, signed (和……签约) Robinson in 1947. He believed that Robinson not only had the skills, but the courage to face the challenge of becoming modern baseball’s first black player. It wasn’t easy. Robinson sometimes faced boos (嘘声) from fans. But he became a star, anyway. In 1962, he became the first African-American player chosen to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can give to an American. By breaking baseball’s color barrier (肤色障碍), Robinson opened the door for many to follow his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well. After he stopped playing the game, Robinson worked as a manager for a coffee company. He wrote a newspaper column (专栏). He also started a bank. 1.Before Jackie Robinson, no African-American players could __________.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. 1.Still others look for friendship, or even love. Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity(身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. 2.So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star. Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation(对话). 3. But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. 4.Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. 5.Others fail miserably.
A. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count (重要). B. Others buy and sell products. C. They’re looking for serious love relationships. D. But cyberspace is different from the real world in some aspects (方面). E. Some of these relationships actually succeed. F. Where else can so many people come together to chat? G. Chatting online isn’t always reliable (可靠的).
Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means. Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach. Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth. Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar. Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future. 1.The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals________. A．are not tall enough B．like the lower leaves only C．are not clever enough D．can get the lower leaves easily 2.To defend themselves, oak trees use________. A．chemical means B．physical means C．bitter chemicals D．sandy materials 3.How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar? A．Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means. B．Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar. C．Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked. D．Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away. 4.What would be the best title for this passage? A．Plants and Animals B．How Plants Defend Themselves C．Attacks and Defenses D．How Animals Eat Plant Leaves
A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(消费) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish. The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States , with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year . But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age , high blood pressure , or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels .
1.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease. B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland. C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America. D. Heart doctors won’t call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day. 2.The underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connection between _______ and the incidence of heart disease. A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different regions 3.The passage is mainly about __________________. A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B. the changes in people’s diet in the United States C. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures D. the effect of fish eating regularly on people’s health 4.How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study? A. 550, 000. B. 110,000. C. 275,000. D. 852.
