4．"I'm more nervous right now than when I ______，"Jane said，as she saw the group of reporters waiting anxiously at the exit of the gym．（　　）
A．had competedB．competeC．was competingD．have competed

分析 "我现在比我在比赛的时候还要紧张!"Jane 看到许多记者在运动场出口焦急地等待着时说．

解答 答案C．   根据这里比较的是nervous的程度，也是两个不同时段的对比．同时when的时间状语从句一般接的是延续性动词的ing形式，或者非延续性动词的过去分词形式．表示在某一动作发生的过程中，由于compete是延续性动词，所以C为正确答案．指我现在比我在比赛的时候还要紧张．其他选项的时态分别是A是过去完成时；B是一般现在时；D是选择完成时．

点评 考查过去进行时．过去完成时表示动词发生在过去的过去．过去完成时一定要句子中有两个动词表示两个不同的时间，完成时态的动词要结束得早于另一动词．

14．All of us exist in‘bodies'of different shapes，heights，colors and physical abilities．The main reasons for the differences are genetic，and the fact that people's bodies change as they age．However，a huge range of research indicates that there are social factors too．
Poorer people are more likely to eat‘unhealthy'foods，to smoke cigarettes and to be employed in physically difficult work or the opposite：boring，inactive employment．Moreover，their housing conditions and neighbourhoods tend to be worse．All of these factors impact upon the condition of a person's health：the physical shapes of bodies are strongly influenced by social factors．
These social factors are also closely linked to emotional wellbeing．People with low or no incomes are more likely to have mental health problems．It is not clear，however，whether poverty causes mental illness，or whether it is the other way around．For example，certain people with mental health issues may be at risk of becoming homeless，just as a person who is homeless may have an increased risk of illnesses such as depression．
There are other types of social factors too．Bodies are young or old，short or tall，big or small，weak or strong．Whether these judgments matter and whether they are positive or negative depends on the cultural and historical context．In fact，the culture of different societies promote very different valuations of body shapes．What is considered as attractive or ugly，normal or abnormal varies enormously．Currently，for example，in rich societies the idea of slimness is highly valued，but historically this was different．In most societies the ideal body shape for a woman was a‘full figure'，while in middle-aged man，a large stomach indicated that they were financially successful in life．
Sociologists are suggesting that we should not just view bodies and minds in biological terms，but also in social terms．The physical body and what we seek to do with it change over time and society．This has important implications for medicine and ideas of health．Thus，the idea of people being‘overweight'is physically related to large amounts of processed food，together with lack of exercise，and is therefore a medical issue．However，it has also become a mental health issue and social problem as a result of people coming to define this particular body shape as‘wrong'and unhealthy．

15．February 27is International Polar Bear Day，which celebrates everyone's favorite furry beasts of the Arctic．In honor of the occasion，Live Science brings you some wacky facts about the furry beasts．
The bears are tiny when they're born，weighing only about 0.5kg．However，An adult male polar bear typically weighs between 351to 544kilograms，or the weight of about five to seven men．The largest polar bear ever recorded was a male weighing 1，000kg，according to Polar Bear International．By contrast，adult females weigh only half as much as males，or 50to 295kg．
If a polar bear doesn't eat for seven to 10days，it can slow its metabolism （新陈代谢） until it finds its next meal．They survive off of fat reserves from their diet，which consists mostly of seals．But climate change is making food more scarce and driving some bears to kill themselves．
The bears don't sleep in winter，but mother bears live in habitats while they raise their babies．While mama bears are in their habitats （generally between January and March），they don't eat or drink．
Although polar bears appear white，their fur is actually transparent．It only appears white，because it reflects visible light．Under their fur，polar bear skin is actually black．To humans and other animals that can see only in visible light，the bears appear to blend in with their snowy surroundings．But reindeer，which polar bears sometimes hunt for，can see in ultraviolet light （紫外线），which makes polar bears stand out from their snowy environment．
Polar bears have a keen sense of smell，which they use to find prey．A polar bear can sniff out a seal on the ice 32kilometers away，and can smell a seal's breathing hole in the ice more than half a mile away，according to the National Zoo．
Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt，and studies predict that global warming could melt enough sea ice to lead to the disappearance of two-thirds of polar bears by 2050．The decline in sea ice has forced the bears to swim longer distances，consuming energy they cannot afford to use．
The United States listed polar bears as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in May 2008，and Canada and Russia have listed them as a species of special concern．Unless climate change slows，eventually there may not be any bears around to celebrate Polar Bear Day．

51．The underlined word"wacky"in the first paragraph probably meansB．
A．ridiculous          B．unusual       C．strange          D．common
52．We can learn from the passage thatA．
A．Male Polar bears can weigh as much as half a dozen men
B．Only mother bears can go days without eating
C．Polar bears'fur is white and their skin is black．
D．Polar bears have a sharp sense of smell and sight．
53．In the eyes of reindeer，polar bears areC．
A．white          B．transparent           C．black         D．purple
54．What mainly causes the possibility that two-thirds of polar bears may disappear by 2050？D
A．Scarce food．B．energy-consuming swimming．
C．Too much ice water．D．Global warming．
12．Flash Mob：The Pop Culture
If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station，you don't need to feel surprised．They are a flash mob．Who are they？Are they mobs （暴民）？（71）A Actually，a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place，do something unusual for a brief period of time，and then quickly separate．
A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks．（72）F At a predetermined time，they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books，coming together to look at the sky，waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30seconds．Then，they quickly disappear before the police can arrive．
Bill Wasik，senior editor of Harper's Magazine，organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3，2003  at Macy's department store．More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy's department store，gathering around an expensive carpet．Following this flash mob，about 200people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds．（73）E
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people．Such an activity might seem amusing，but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place．（74）G They also have enormous economic potential，such as using flash mobs to advertise a product．
（75）C People use it to do many things．For example，in 2009，Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him．Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool．They were singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together．And in another example，some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words．
Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory．
Don't be confused by their name．
People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities．
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular．
Using mobile phones，the flash mob can change their gathering place．
A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises．
The messages may be forwarded to friends，who forward to more people．
Undoubtedly，flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction．
19．A．The likely reason of global warming
B．Global warming-a world problem
C．The fast increase in recent years
D．What we should do to avoid greenhouse gases producing
E．The earth is becoming warmer
F．Different opinions on the cause of global warming
61．E
Is the world warming up？According to many reports，the answer is yes．Eleven of the hottest years since 1850appeared between 1995and 2006．Last year，the United Nation's Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change （IPCC） reported the earth was about 0.75℃warmer than it was in 1850．While this doesn't sound like a lot，a small difference in average temperature can make a big difference in climate．During the last Ice Age，the planet was only about five degrees colder than now．
62．C
It's all about the speed at which temperatures are changing．In the past，temperatures moved up or down step by step．But in the 20th century，especially since 1976，temperatures have likely risen more quickly than during any century in the last 1000years．Warming may bring improved harvests to northern countries such as Canada and Russia．However，many species won't like these conditions．They begin moving towards cooler places and cause lots of trouble to human world．
63．A
The IPCC reported that human activity is very likely responsible by increasing the greenhouse effect．Some gases cause the air to take in heat energy．Without the greenhouse effect，the earth's average temperature would be-18℃rather than the present comfortable 14.6℃．The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide，water vapor and some other gases．Burning oil，coal and waste adds to the carbon dioxide，and it has increased 35% since 1850．
64．F
Many researchers have found that natural forces alone don't explain the temperature increases over the last 30to 40years．Their study shows that as carbon dioxide goes up，temperature will rise，too．But some scientists don't agree．They think the effect of human produced greenhouse gases is very small compared to the normal changes that the climate causes．
65．D
When asked whether humans are causing the world warming，Carl Wunsch，a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology says，"It seems very likely from what I've seen．Is it 100% sure？No．There is something to do with natural changes．"Does that mean we should have a"wait-and-see"attitude？Not according to Wunsch．He points out we buy house insurance not because we are sure our homes will be on fire，but because it's a danger we'd rather avoid．
9．Maybe it was because he _________ to the radio，but he didn't notice the dark object in the road until it was too late．（　　）
A．was listeningB．listenedC．had listenedD．would listen
16．Mr．Peter Johnson，aged twenty-three，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot（行李箱）．
   Mr．Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch（沟渠） at Romney Marsin，Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank．"Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，"Mr．Johnson said．"I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in．"
　　Mr．Johnson，a sweet salesman of Sitting Home，Kent，first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his struggle to escape．
　　Later he said，"It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear，but no help came．"
　　It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat，and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．"It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave，but as soon as I moved the boot lid，the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up．"
　　His hands and arms cut and bruised（擦伤），Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs．Lucy Bates．Huddled in a blanket，he said，"That thirty minutes seemed like hours．"Only the tips of the car wheels were visible，police said last night．The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch．

After hours of searching the town，confused （困惑的） police decided to search the house one more time．
"I just sat there waiting．"Chris says，"Then a strange feeling came over me，and I rushed into the bedroom and put my hand on a pile of blankets in the cupboard．As I pulled them out，there he was-asleep and completely not realizing what was going on!I've never held him in my arms so hard．"
Senior officer，Chris Brameld，from Goombungee police，says he is glad that Joey's game had a happy ending："When we realized he was safe，we agreed that it didn't get much better than that!"
And young Joey promises that next time he won't be so intent （专注于） on finding the best hiding place．"I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them．"he says，"I promise next time I'll hide where they can find me and I won't fall asleep!"
