15．When a big boat，like a cruise ship，goes through the ocean，it often creates waves．This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean's surface move up and down violently．These waves move out from the boat in both directions．If you are captaining a smaller boat，you'd better steer clear of a ship's wake，so that your boat is not surfing on the waves，causing it to overturn．
A wave is a pattern of motion．When you look at a wave，it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean．In fact，this is false．The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave．While the wave itself-the pattern of motion-is moving across the surface of the ocean，the water is actually moving in a circular motion，which brings the water molecules back to their original position．The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward．
If this is confusing，think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium．Viewed from a distance，the wave is clearly moving across the stadium．But the thing that makes up the wave-the people-are not moving across the stadium，they're just moving up and down in their seats．This is just like the water in an ocean wave．A lot of water is moving up and down，which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave．
Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves．If you're not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing，then you can't surf．Usually，surfers gather in areas known for big waves-waves that rise high off the ocean's surface．If the wave is bigger，then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks．The height of a wave is known as its amplitude．If you could make a wave freeze，then you could measure the wave's amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean's surface to the very peak of the wave．
All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength．While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude-sometimes as small as a few centimeters-the wavelength can be very short，as lots of waves are being generated．By contrast，a tsunami has very high amplitude，sometimes more than 100 feet，but a relatively long wavelength，as it's a high wave．
Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength．For example，think back to the cruise ship．While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat，the properties of each of the waves may be very different．For example，a larger cruise ship，with powerful engines，may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength．However，if the ship's engines slow down，they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate．This would cause the waves'amplitude to decrease，but its wavelength to increase．

61．What does the phrase"steer clear of a cruise ship's wake"in the 1st paragraph mean？D
A．Keeping awake while steering a ship．
B．Getting a clear view of what is ahead．
C．Following the cruise ship very closely．
D．Keeping away from the cruise ship．
62．The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order toC．
A．illustrate how excited people are in a basketball stadium
B．clear the confusion over measuring the wave's amplitude
C．explain why the water appears to move along the waves
D．demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadium
63．The last paragraph gives us the impression thatC．
A．the wave's amplitude may vary，but its wavelength remain the same
B．the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forward
C．the more powerful the ships'engines are，the higher the waves they generate
D．measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy
64．What is this passage mainly about？D
A．What makes the sea water move forwards．
B．How to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea．
C．Why people create waves in the stadium．
D．How waves are created and measured．

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读，属于说明文，当一艘像游轮这样的大船穿过海洋时，经常会产生波浪．当游轮背面的大型引擎使海洋表面的水猛烈地上下移动时，就会发生这种情况．本文以此展开，主要讲述了波浪是如何产生和度量的．

解答 61．D．词义猜测题．根据上下文内容可知，If you are captaining a smaller boat，you'd better steer clear of a ship's wake，so that your boat is not surfing on the waves，causing it to overturn．句意为如果你拥有一条较小的船，你最好远离游轮，让你的船不会在海浪上冲浪，导致它翻船．故 steer clear of a ship's wake意为远离游轮．故选D．
62．C．细节理解题．根据A lot of water is moving up and down，which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave．可知，作者举例是为了解释为什么水似乎沿着海浪移动．故选C．
63．C．推理判断题．根据For example，a larger cruise ship，with powerful engines，may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength．However，if the ship's engines slow down，they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate．This would cause the waves'amplitude to decrease，but its wavelength to increase．可知，本段告诉我们了船舶发动机越强大，它们产生的波浪越高．故选C．

C．looking up toD．looking down upon
6．In the dead of winter，we don't typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should．The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health-Vitamin D．
This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other life-threatening diseases．The recommended daily requirement is 400-600 International Units （IU）．In summer，people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D．
Even during winter，just a 10-minute walk midday can keep the body's Vitamin D at healthy levels．During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible．
Vitamin D can also be obtained from foods．Salmon is one of the best sources of the Vitamin．Egg yolks（蛋黄），cheese，mushrooms and some animals organs contain smaller quantities of it．
To attract consumers，food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products．The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s．At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a Vitamin D deficiency（不足）．It made the children's bones soft and weak．Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem，and it has been available ever since．
For people who still need more Vitamin D，there is another option：take Vitamin D supplements（补充）．These products are widely sold in stores．However，anyone considering taking supplements should consult a physician first．

4．During the winter months，peopleC．

5．According to the text，Vitamin DA．
A．can be obtained by being exposed to the sun
B．can be used to cure life-threatening diseases
C．can be mainly found in some milk products
D．can make the children's bones soft and weak

B．It's a useful addition to a person's diet．
C．It has a huge impact on the environment．
D．Its advantages have been exaggerated．
7．The main purpose of this article isA．
A．to introduce a valuable nutrient
B．to advertise Vitamin D supplements
C．to note risks associated with a nutrient
D．to explain how a nutrient was discovered．
3．It's cold and dark outside，and your bed is so warm and comfortable．Going for a run seems like such a bad idea．But before you hide your running shoes，it might be worth giving that crazy idea ago．
According to The Huffington Post，an outdoor run in winter，as opposed to one on a treadmill（跑步机），burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature．Furthermore，research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories．Similarly，cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body，making that vital muscle even stronger．
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day．The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster，but cold weather is refreshing．It adjusts you to your surroundings，making you feel alive．
Of course，the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise．Heart attacks，stroke，lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog．The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems．If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days，take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾气），and go early in the morning before rush hour．But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best．

A．It builds up their energy quickly．
B．It makes runners tired easily．
C．It lessens runners'stress．
D．It causes heart attack．
31．What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days？C
A．Stop driving cars．
B．Do more exercise．
C．Avoid outdoor exercise．
D．Run late in the morning．
10．A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight．Michael in Shanghai says he is 26and has battled with fatness for most of his life．
Weight problem is a complex condition．A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one's behaviors．Experts say that the most successful weight-loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise．People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use．To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，increase the number you use，or both．
A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US．Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300overweight women，mostly in their thirties and forties．Each woman went on one of the four plans：Atkins，The Zone，Ornish or LEARN．The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans．
At the end of the year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and one-half kilograms on average．They also did better on tests for cholesterol（胆固醇）levels and blood pressure．
Christopher Gardner，who led the study，says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar．He says that there was not enough money to study men，but that men would probably have similar results．
Last week，another report based on thirty-one studies suggested that only a few people have long-term success with dieting．It says those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised．

24．Which is a doctor's advice for weight loss？A
A．Taking medicine．
B．A well-balanced diet．
C．Exercise．
D．Balancing the number of calories．

The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620．In 1621，an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week．The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant （每日新闻）．It came out in March 1702．
In 1690，Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston．But not long after it was first published，the government stopped the paper．In 1704，John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter （波士顿新闻通讯），the first newspaper published in the American colonies．By 1760，the colonies had mor than thirty daily newspapers．There are now about 1，800daily papers in the United States．
Today，as a group，English language newspapers have the largest circulation （发行量） in the world．But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun （朝日新闻）．It sells more than 11million copies every dy．
