题目内容
__1.__ To begin with，cleaner environment，enjoying the game with hundreds of sports athletes and entertainment stars，and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world seem exciting to the citizens._ 2.__ In most cases，bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
Unfortunately，this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If looking from another angle，the Olympic bid might bring about some sideeffects to a city.
__3.__ It includes the increasing pollution of cars，more pressure on water resources，huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities，which are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets，some trees may have to be cut. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centers or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resourcelimited and crowded city in a thirdworld country.
Besides，if not well managed and organized，the big event may not be so beneficial，and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games.__ 4.__
Finally，let’s think about the lowincome groups in the city.__ 5.__ More tax，more fees，more expensive property prices，and higher cost of living. These definitely are not good news for them.

试题分析：本文讲述了一个城市举办奥运会的优势和存在的危险。告诉我们要综合考虑各方面的问题。
1.A 整个文章第一段内容可知都是在讲述一个城市举办奥运会的好处。故A项符合上下文。
2.G 根据本段第一行To begin with，说明列举的是部分事实。接下来，应该是另外一部分举办奥运会的好处，使用besides串联起来。故G项符合上下文。
3.D 根据下一句It includes the increasing pollution of cars，more pressure on water resources，huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities说明讲述的是举办奥运会带来的环境方面的问题。故D项符合上下文语境。
4..F 推理题。根据前句if not well managed and organized，the big event may not be so beneficial，and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games可知如果管理不善。很多城市不但不会得到好处，很多设施后来都被闲置。城市陷入了债务之中。故F项符合上下文。
5.C 根据前句let’s think about the lowincome groups in the city.可知要我们考虑城市里的那些低收入的群体。他们会从奥运会里得到什么样的好处。故C项符合上下文。

Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered… Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.
Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people’s health is the amount of education they have.
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United states census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.
“We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命) at age 25,” Meara says.
“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you’ve reached aged 25 and you’ve gone on to at least some college…”
Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25-year-old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people have made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.
Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
“I think it’s a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn’t always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that’s something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”
Meara points out that education can often determine income---people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.
Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.
