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。

　　Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say, skip it all．None of these products is likely to make you any healthier．Below, we look at four major myths about the benefits of drinking water．　　1　　 Experts say there’s an easy way to judge．If you are not thirsty, your fluid intake is likely “just right”

　　Myth No 1：Drink eight glasses each day．

　　Scientists say there’s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day．　　2　　 “Nobody really knows,” says Dr．Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania．

　　Myth No．2：Lots of water equals healthier skin．

　　The body is already 60 percent water．　　3　　 Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited effect．“It’s such a tiny part of what’s in the body,” says Goldfarb．“ It’s very unlikely that one’s getting any benefit．”

　　Myth No．3：　　4　　

　　A more accurate statement may be：Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters．“Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories,” says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh．“So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction．” But water is not magical, she adds．“Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too．”

　　Myth No．4：It’s easy to get dehydrated(脱水的)during a workout．

　　Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight．　　5　　 “It’s also obvious that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water,” says Goldfarb．“But for a walk in the park, no water bottle is necessary．”

A．So where does the standard advice come from?

B．But it’s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant．

C．So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water．

D．Drinking extra water leads to weight loss．

E．Drink as much water as you can．

F．So, if you take a 200-pound man, he’s 120 pounds of water．

G．But first, how do you know if you’re drinking enough water?


E
"Opinion" is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most do attach great importance to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, '' and ''Everyone’s entitled(授予…权利) to his opinion, '' are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.
Is that label（标签）accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another's opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend ''What do you think of the new Ford cars?" And he may reply, "In my opinion, they're ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it's obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, ''It's pointless to argue about matters of taste."
But consider this very different use of the term, A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not state their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and careful consideration.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.
?? Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.
72. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the author?
A. Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.
B. Free expression of opinions often leads to confusion.
C. Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.
D. Casual use of the word "opinion" often brings about quarrels.
73. According to the author, who of the following would be labelled as intolerant?
A. Someone who turns a deaf ear to others' opinions.
B. Someone who can't put up with others' tastes.
C. Someone who values only their own opinions.
D. Someone whose opinion harms other people.
74. The new Ford cars are mentioned as an example to show that ________.
A. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand
B. one should not always agree to others' opinions
C. personal tastes are not something to be challenged
D. it is unwise to express one's likes and dislikes in public
75. Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that ________.
A. it is stated by judges in the court
B. it reflects public like and dislikes
C. it is a result of a lot of controversy (争论，争议)
D. it is based on careful thought


Dinner was almost ready when the killing happened．When Don Wise walked into the living room of his home，his ten-year-old son，Mike，and a 12-year-old friend were sitting in front of a large-screen television set．They were playing a video game they had rented(租赁), called Golden eye 007，one of the top-selling titles of 2007．
Standing behind the boys，Wise saw that one boy pushed the button and shot the character in the face．Blood splattered(喷溅)the lab coat of the character as he circled and fell．“You’re down!”the boy said，laughing．
Frightened by the child’s obvious fun，Wise ordered the boys to turn the game off．“This game is terrible．“he said seriously．“I don’t want you to play with this any more．”
Video games have become pervasive form of entertainment since the 1990s．Today about 69 percent of American families own or rent video and computer games．Most are harmless entertainment，but in far too many of the most popular ones，kids are acting out realistic violent experiences on their TV and computer screens．“These are not just games any more，”says Rick Dyer，president of the San Diego-based Virtual Image Productions.“These are learning machines．We’re teaching kids in the most incredible way what it’s like to pull the trigger(扳机)．The focus is on the thrill，enjoyment and reward．What they’re not realizing are the real-life results.“
Such video games introduce kids to a fantasy world that features amazingly lifelike characters，detailed images of brutality(野蛮)。 Unlike movies and television，where you watch the violence，the video game lets you feel the sensation（感觉） of taking violent actions． When you’re into the game，you’re in the game． 
“The technology is becoming more engaging（吸引人的） for kids，”says David Walsh，president of the National Institute on Media and the Family(NIMF)，a watchdog group in Minneapolis，“and a part of the games features anti-social themes of violence，sex and rude language．Unfortunately，it’s a part that seems particularly popular with kids between ages 8 to15．”
57．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this passage?
A．Video game violence is very harmful to kids．
B．Video game is a common form of entertainment．
C．Video game violence is popular with children．
D  Video game is the reflection of the real—life violence．
58．We can infer from the passage that the_____________．
A．NIMF is characteristic for its social justice
B．NIMF is a political organization in Minneapolis
C．NIMF promotes(推崇) video games and other media products
D．NIMF detects（侦查） the media industry’s illegal actions（违法行为）
59．The underlined word“pervasive”in Paragraph 4 most probably means____________．
A．worldwide        B．instructive       C．widespread      n harmful
60．Which of the following statements would Rick Dyer agree with?
A  Video games with some violence teach kids to experience real life．
B．Video games are realistic ways to learn more about the real life  world．
C．Video games with fantastic features are loved by most kids in the US．
D  Violence video games have a negative influence on children．

This is a story that can teach us a good lesson. One day, a man in rags begged from door to door along the street. With an old wallet in his hand, he was asking for a few coins to buy something to eat. He kept complaining about his bad fortune and kept  36 why those who had so much money were never  37 and were always desiring more.

“As far as I’m concerned, if I had only enough to  38 and to wear, I would not want anything more.”

Just at that moment Goddess Fortune, who came down the  39 saw the beggar and said to him, “Hi, I have wished to  40 you for a long time. Now, open your  41  and I will pour my gold into it. But I will do that only on this  42 : All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the  43 shall become dust. Do you understand?

“I see,” said the beggar.

“Then you should  44 ! It’s obvious that your wallet is a(an)  45 one, so don’t load it too heavily,” said the Goddess Fortune.

The excited beggar could hardly  46 to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a   47 of yellow coins was poured into it. The wallet grew heavier and heavier.

“Is that enough?” Isn’t it cracking?” asked Fortune.

“Never fear. It’s still  48 enough now.” answered the beggar.

The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to  49  . “Ah, if only the golden stream would  50 forever! Just a little more,” said the beggar, “ 51 just a handful or two.”

“There! It’s full. The wallet will  52 .” warned the Goddess, but the beggar requested, “It will  53 a little more, just a little more.”

One more piece was added and the wallet split. The  54 fell upon the ground and became dust. The greedy beggar had now  55 but his broken bag.

   In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!

   For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.

    Robot Helpers

   Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.

   Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.

   So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.

    Telephones of Tomorrow

   In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.

   Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.

   And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.

64. The whole passage is mainly about ________________.

   A. predictions that have come true.        B. predictions that haven’t come true.

   C. why predictions don’t come true easily.  D. what technology will bring about.

65. The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.

   A. predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.

   B. the future isn’t always easy to guess.

   C. not all past predictions have come true.

   D. many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared.

66. The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.

   A. wonderful   B. stupid    C. practical    D. strange

67. What does the author think of the flying car?

   A. It is too difficult to imagine.  B. It is too crazy an idea.

   C. It is likely to be made.       D. It is often reported in the news.
