8.How has smoking been controlled in recent years?
People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the King's Cross Underground fire on November 18,1987,caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31deaths,that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance.
How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place?
In 1998the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence (流行) and passive smoking,including in public places.The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out.After a public conference in England in 2004,the Government decided to choose for lawmaking.Scotland went first,with a ban in 2006,followed by the other nations a year later.
What is the current law?
Any person who smokes in enclosed public places,including pubs,offices,on public transport and work vehicles,is breaking the law.It does not extend to private houses.It is also an offence for people in charge of premises (营业场所) to permit others to smoke in them.
How was it received?
It was welcomed by most organizations-except for some pub owners and restaurateurs.All railway facilities are covered,as are all football grounds and stadiums.School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation(法规),but the majority now are.
How has it been forced?
Compliance (服从) in public premises has been high,with inspections suggesting that 99per cent of places were sticking to the rules.The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low,which was due to the problems defining and identifying"work"vehicles.They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion.
Has it improved health?
Studies in early adopters of the law suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease,which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking.There is also strong evidence of a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke.

64.When did the first law come out to ban smoking in public places?D
A.1987.  B.1998.   C.2004.  D.2006.
65.Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law?C
A.Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone.
B.A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car.
C.Tom smokes while thinking of his future at home.
D.Max smokes for relaxation during time-out in the stadium.
66.Who might feel unhappy about the law according to the article?A
A.A restaurant owner.   B.A company manager.
C.A car owner.          D.A policy maker.
67.What can you infer from the article?B
A.Most heart diseases have been proved to be linked to passive smoking.
B.A new law may soon come out with a total ban on smoking in vehicles.
C.The 1987fire has convinced more people that smoking is bad for health.
D.Most of the school grounds are not smoke-free,as it is not banned in the law.

18.Step into an American preschool classroom today and you are likely to fall into a so-called print-rich environment,every surface colorfully decorated with instructional posters,classroom  rules,chedules,and  mottos,few of which a 4-year-old can understand in fact.
Besides the confusing things on classroom walls,teaching methods and curriculums have changed recently,by which more time is spent on what's called"seat work"一workbooks and worksheets-but less time devoted to music and art.School-readiness skills are essential for the youngest learners to move on to a subsequent stage.As a result,expectations that may arguably have been reasonable for 5-and 6-year-olds,such as bemg able to sit at a desk and using pencil and paper,are now directed at even younger children,who lack the motor skills and attention span to be successful.
However,parents of preschoolers tend to be on board with these changes,because they fear that the old-fashioned pleasures of unhurried learning have no place in today's highly competitive world.The stress is obvious:Pick the"wrong"preschool and your child might not go to college.She might not be employable.She might not even be allowed to start first grade!
As preschoolers are learning so much academic knowledge at earlier ages,they seem somehow less curious and less engaged.Some teachers say that more children today seem to lack the language skills.The real focus in the preschool years should not be just on vocabularv and reading,but on talking and listening.By talking with adults,and one another,they pick up information,learn how things work and solve puzzles that trouble them.For our littlest learners,what could be more important than that?

25.Which of the statements does the author probably agree with?B
A.Younger children can fully understand the instructional things in classrooms.
B.3-and 4-year-olds shouldn't be expected too much in school readiness skills.
C.More time should be spent on"seat work''instead of music and art.
D.Even 5-and 6-year-olds have good motor skills and attention span.
26.The underlined phrase"be on board with"in the third paragraph most probably means"A".
A.accept    
B.reject    
C.doubt    
D.worry
27.Why are parents so picky when choosing a preschool for their kids?B
A.Because some preschools are too old fashioned.
B.Because a wrong preschool might ruin kids'future.
C.Because the competitions between kindergartens are fierce.
D.Because it is easy for them to choose a right preschool.
28.What's the best title of the passage?D

16.London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme.It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.
So how does it  work?First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key.The key will unlock one of the bikes,which are kept at docking stations in  and around central London.You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go,for he length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London,which runs the scheme,are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year.The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion in London and is expected to generate up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre.London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses".
However,there  have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday.On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike  properly and their usage of the bike had not registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill".Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.
Despite the comments,the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things,saying,"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a gigantic pedal-powered push forwards."

3.I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job,credit,success.I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else,all of us separately chasing the same thing.
One year,through a series of unhappy events,it all fell apart.I found myself homeless and alone.I had my truck and﹩56.I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount.I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley.I hadn't been alone for 25 years.I was scared,but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me.I found the owner and rented the place for﹩50 a month.The locals knew nothing about me.But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor.They dropped off blankets,tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat.They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing.They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream,not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.Men would stop by with wild berries,ice cream,truck parts to see if I needed some.The women on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met.They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe.I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company.
What I had believed in,all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life,were non-existent in this place.Up on the mountain,my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors.
After four years in that valley,I moved back into town.I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time,losing their jobs and homes.With the help of a real estate broker(房地产经纪人) I chatted up at the grocery store,I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people.It's four of us now,but over time I've had nine come in and move on to other places from here.We'd all be in shelters if we hadn't banded together.
The American dream I believe in now is a shared one.It's not so much about what I can get for myself; it's about how we can all get by together.

A.fame   B.big houses   C.relationships with neighbors    D.sharing

18.Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have,but one cannot take good health for granted(认为…理所应当).It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy.There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape:eat right food,get enough sleep,and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health.Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of"fuel"(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat.Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质),like meat,fish,eggs and nuts.Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals.However,don't overeat.It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important.If you don't get enough sleep,you feel tired and easily get angry.You have no energy.Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night.If you do,your body will feel strong and refreshed,and your mind will be sharp.
Finally,get plenty of exercise.Exercise firms the body,strengthens the muscles,and prevents you from gaining weight.It also improves your heart and lungs.If you follow a regular exercise program,you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good.Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes:basketball,swimming,bicycling,running and so on are good examples.Sports are not only good for your body,but they are enjoyable and interesting,too.
If everybody,were to eat the right foods,get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly,the world would be a happier and healthier place.We would all live to be much older and wiser.
