3.Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment.Here are some guidelines to follow:
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from.Besides so many choices,we now hear about our"food print",the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year.Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse?Do we get the Granny Smiths from the farmers'market or the supermarket?Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet?
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria,including the energy used in producing and transporting the food,as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food.
Despite the complexities,there are some general guidelines you can follow.For instance,eat less meat or eat low on the food chain.Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consumption of red meat because of its too much fat content.Beyond that,there are environmental reasons,too.Raising food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land,energy and water than a plant-based one.
______________________________
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising.But is bottled water the way to go?You may not think so when seeing the true costs.Based on a survey,manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use three times the amount of water in the bottle.Adding in transportation,the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent (等价物).Consequently,skip the bottled water and drink tap water,both at home and at restaurants.Additionally,bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap.

56.In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainlyD.
A.to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B.to show us the shopping habits of most Americans
C.to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroad
D.to remind people to reconsider their food purchase
57.The doctor recommends eating less red meat partly becauseA.
A.it contains too much fat 
B.it costs a lot in transportation
C.it is too low on the food chain 
D.it isn't related to climate change
58.According to the text,which of the following is true?C
A.Americans all prefer to buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico.
B.The plant-based diet is responsible for the climate change.
C.Americans have a variety of food to choose from.
D.Organic produce is the only choice for Americans.
59.Based on the last paragraph,we know thatB.
A.bottled water is cleaner than tap water
B.tap water is economical as well as eco-friendly
C.bottled water is more available than tap water
D.tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water
60.What is the best subtitle for the last paragraph?A
A.Skip bottled water,carry tap  
B.Drink bottled water
C.Produce plastic water bottles  
D.Save water resources.

分析 本文主要告诉读者平时的生活中应该选择健康的生活方式,从而对环境也是有非常大的好处.

解答 DACBA
56.D 根据Besides so many choices,we now hear about our"food print",the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year.可知,作者提出三个问题主要是想提醒人们重新考虑一下他们对食物的购买,故答案为D
57.A 根据Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consumption of red meat because of its too much fat content.可知,医生要求限制肉类的摄入是因为肉中含有大量的脂肪,故答案为A
58.C 根据Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from.可知,美国人有很多食物可以从中选择,故答案为C
59.B 根据You may not think so when seeing the true costs.Based on a survey,manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use three times the amount of water in the bottle.可知,喝自来水不仅省钱,而且还环保,故答案为B
60.A 根据最后一段可知讨论的是喝自来水还是瓶装水的问题,故答案为A

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.

10.When Luke went to university he thought he would be starting a new journey in life and getting his own place.In the UK,it's common to fly the nest at a fairly young age.Many choose a flatshare; others make plans to get on the property ladder.
But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum's house at the age of 27.And he's not alone:a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents.The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3million adults between the ages of 20and 34were living with their parents in 2013.
Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans.He's frustrated:"There's something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you're still a child,"he says."It limits me socially; sometimes I feel it limits me professionally."
Indeed,many young people have no choice but to stay at‘the hotel of Mum and Dad'.
Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather cramped conditions,sharing the family's three-bedroom house with her siblings.She saysthey end up getting on each other's nerves  when it's time to use the bathroom in the morning.
Of course,residing with your parents is not unusual in some countries.Economic conditions,culture,or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married.Even then,it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couple continue to live at one of their parents'homes.
But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home.Janice's daughters are part of what's being called‘the boomerang generation'.She says:"I get to share their lives with them,and I've got to know them all as adults.We have the sort of conversations that good friends do."So for some it's a win-win situation-spending time with your families,and saving money.

11.Paul,the oracle octopus (神算章鱼),was given a replica (复制品) of the World Cup as a reward for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.
The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for accurately predicting the German team's five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats.Paul also  tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.
"We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual job-making children smile,"Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting Paul with the World Cup replica.
There's no rational(合理的)reasons why Paul always got it right.Bettors around the world made small fortunes based on Paul's guess,said Graham Sharpe,media relations director at William Hill in London."I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I've ever seen people making their picks based on what an octopus tells them.We had people coming in saying they didn't know how to place a bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him.It's funny.But he kept getting it right."said Sharpe.
Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累计下注)on Paul's prediction from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000pounds(﹩4,500)by the end of the tournament.
Paul's home at Sea Life aquarium(水族馆)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media from across Europe.Many networks broadcast his predicting live.Many networks broadcast his picks live.Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday,12July,2010.

61.Paul was rewarded a replica of the Word Cup because heB.
A.will celebrate his birthday soon
B.predicted the results of matches accurately
C.helped beat Netherlands in the final
D.helped many fans earn much money
62.If a fan had placed a 200-pound accumulator bet on Paul's prediction during the tournament,he would have wonC.
A.﹩30,000          B.﹩45,000           C.﹩60,000            D.﹩90,000
63.The underlined word"tipped"in the 2nd paragraph probably meansC.
A.ordered            B.announced           C.predicted           D.helped
64.From what Sharpe said we can learn thatA.
A.it's amazing for Paul to make more exact prediction than people
B.octopus like Paul may all have the ability to predict exactly
C.it's common for people to believe in sea life for prediction
D.we'd better not bet with animals when we have trouble making our picks
65.We can learn from this passage thatA.
A.Paul used to be children's favourite sea life
B.it's useless to bet with the oracle octopus
C.Paul was born with the ability to predict World Cup results
D.Germany will never be beaten if Paul stays with them.

15.MAY 14marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel.Many Israelis,however,are not in the mood to celebrate.
Looking at the damage to her neighbor's home from a Palestinian rocket,Batia Katar,a 17-year-old Israeli girl,was in tears."We can't celebrate (Israel's) independence when things like this are happening,"she said.
What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country.The country has a dramatic (戏剧性) history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60years.Within hours after it was  established  in 1948,Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land.It won that time,and in 1956,1967and 1973,acquiring the West Bank,the Golan Heights,Gaza and east Jerusalem.For good or ill,Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries.However,it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed,which left local Palestinians homeless.
Different from all its neighbors in religion,Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors.Though,it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries.The country is now a world leader in many industries,such as IT and modern agriculture.
However,conflict exists,just like 60years ago.And the signal of peace is as weak as ever.Palestinian militants (武装人员) have fired more than 7,000missiles  from Gaza,mainly at Sedro,killing 13people.In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians  in Gaza have died in Israeli military action.
In order to create peace,the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan.Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace.
Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place.

66.Why are many Israelis not in the mood to celebrate the both anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel?BecauseD.
A.the government didn't organize it
B.they are too busy to attend it
C.it is dangerous to celebrate it
D.conflicts and fights still exist
67.The underlined word established in the fourth paragraph meansB.
A.defeated         B.founded
C.attacked         D.accepted
68.Israel is not a normal country becauseD.
A.the country has a dramatic history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60years
B.within hours after its establishment,Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land
C.it occupied much more land than the UN agreed,which left local Palestinians homeless
D.all of the above
69.Which statement about Israel is NOT true according to the passage?D
A.It became a country in 1948.
B.It is different from all its neighbors in religion.
C.It is now a world leader in many industries,such as IT and modern agriculture.
D.No country has supported it since it was founded.
70.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.
A.it is still a question mark whether Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace
B.Israel was created as a homeland for homeless Jews
C.for good or ill,Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries
D.Israel is far more successful economically that it neighbors.
12.If you are a male and you are reading this,congratulations:you are a survivor.According to statistics,you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term,about 78years for men in Australia,you will die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke,but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor.
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should,"says Dr.Gullotta,"This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike."Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two.For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.
According to a recent survey,95%of women aged between 15and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
"A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的)"Gullotta says"They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think'Dear me,if it could happen to him,…'"
Then there is the ostrich (鸵鸟)approach,"Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,"says Dr.Ross Cartmill."Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,"Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men would inevitably(不可避免地) place stress on the public purse.Cartmill says."But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides,the final cost is far greater."
