16．The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard （1850-1928）．After immigrating from England to the USA，and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer，he moved to Chicago，where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871．In those days，it was nicknamed"the Garden City"，almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns．Returning to London，Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s，drawing on ideas that were popular at the time，but creating a unique combination of designs．
The nineteenthcentury poor city was in many ways a terrible place，dirty and crowded； but it offered economic and social opportunities．At the same time，the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive：though it promised fresh air and nature，it suffered from agricultural depression（萧条） and it offered neither enough work and wages，nor much social life．Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement，the garden city．Howard's idea was that a group of people should set up a company，borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside，far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price．
Garden cities would provide a central public open space，radial avenues and connecting industries．They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt，also owned by the company，containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions．As more and more people moved in，the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32，000 people； then，another would be started a short distance away．Thus，over time，there would develop a vast planned house collection，extending almost without limit； within it，each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services，but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system，thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city．

32．How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities？D
A．By taking other people's advice．
B．Through the combination of different ideas．
C．Through his observation of the country life．
D．By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago．
33．According to Howard，garden cities should be builtB．
A．as far as possible from existing cities
B．in the countryside where the land was cheap
C．in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D．near cities where employment opportunities already existed
34．The passage mainly talks aboutC．
A．a new city in Chicago
B．the invention of the garden city
C．a well-known garden city in England
D．the differences between the countryside and the city
35．What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph？A
A．Their number would get larger and larger．
B．Every garden city would continue to become larger．
C．more and more people moved out of the garden city．
D．Each garden city would offer a wide range of houses．

Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure (血压) under control, research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.

The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.

Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.

Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said: “The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”

The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.

1.From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are .

A. a kind of medicine B. a kind of protein

C. a kind of illness D. a kind of food

2.According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs .

A. are the most nutritious food.

B. have no effect on blood cholesterol

C. can be included in a healthy diet

D. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK

3.We can infer from the text that .

A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs

B. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases

C. most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped

D. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health

4.The text is meant to .

A. introduce scientific findings about eggs

B. introduce a medicine made from eggs

C. tell people how to lower their blood pressure

D. advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

Do you know the differences between African and Asian elephants？African elephants have larger ears，and both male and female African elephants have tusks（象牙）while only male Asian elephants have tusks.

African elephants have very useful trunks！Since they live where it’s always really hot，they get a trunk full of water and spray it on their backs. Then，they do the same thing with dust. The ends of their trunks work like little fingers. They use them to pick berries，grass，and other plants to eat. To drink，African elephants can suck up to two gallons of water in their trunks，then blow it into their mouths. If they sense danger，they use their trunks to make a loud warning sound. They even hug other elephants with their trunks.

Do you know that the closest relative of elephants are manatees（海牛）？They can weigh up to 1，300 pounds and they are good swimmers. If they’re in really shallow water，they use their front flippers（鳍状肢）to walk while they eat sea plants and grasses. Because they are so slow and like warm，shallow water，manatees often get hurt by a part of the boat when the drivers don’t see them.

Manatees are sea mammals like whales and dolphins. They live in water，but they need to breathe air，so they often go to the surface of water. They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes.

1.From Paragraph 1 we know that＿＿＿＿＿＿.

A. male African elephants have longer tusks than female one

B. African elephants have smaller ears than Asian elephants

C. female Asian elephants don’t have tusks

D. Asian elephants are larger than African elephants

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？

A. The way African elephants drink and eat.

B. How African elephants use their trunks for protection

C. The shape of African elephants’ trunks.

D. The use of African elephants’ trunks.

3.Why do manatees often go to the surface of water？

A. Because they can stay underwater for only 5 minutes.

B. Because they want to watch out for danger.

C. Because they need to breathe air.

D. Because they want to look for food.

Have you thought about the idea of using energy to overcome health problems, stress and even disease? Dealing with stress and illness can have a negative impact on more than just your physical self, burning to a deep emotional space. Entire families and circles of friends feel worried about someone when they are dealing with a tough situation. But what if positive thinking could have the power to turn things around?

Going way back, when I was working with my husband to start our business, times were tough. Not only had we poured every part of our savings into building our dream, but we were working around the clock to make it happen. Our friends and family were our business partners. We were all tired and stressed but determined. Especially during that time, we did not surround ourselves with anyone who wasn’t positive and encouraging in our efforts. Think great thoughts and welcome the idea that you are sure to succeed.

In business and in our personal lives, we are challenged at some point with unexpected hurdles. Wrapping yourself in positive energy by surrounding yourself with good people, good habits and love can be the perfect way to use optimism to overcome a challenge.

Just recently, I was curious if a positive attitude has been proved to help patients who are suffering from illness or disease to overcome and heal. What I found delighted me. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. “By accepting an optimistic approach, you are able to deal with tough situations productively.”

I have certainly heard many stories about people who have used a great attitude to overcome life–changing obstacles, and I am a total believer. I have seen the power of positive energy work for me—when I believe, I can handle anything that life sends my way.

1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Taking Charge of Your Attitude

B. Stopping Worrying about Others

C. Getting Prepared for Obstacles

D. Dealing with the Tough Situation

2.How did the author and her husband get success?

A. By keeping a positive and determined attitude.

B. By using all their savings to realize their dream.

C. By getting financial assistance from friends and family.

D. By making themselves full of courage and perseverance.

3.The underlined word “ hurdles ” in Paragraph 3 means _______.

A. assistance B. opportunities

C. disease D. obstacles

4.The author has discovered recently that _______.

A. positive people can face any obstacles

B. she has the most powerful positive energy

C. the positive attitude benefits the patients

D. stress management means good health

7．Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good：the iPad．Instead of looking at nature，I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat，I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）．Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't．
So this year I made up my mind to try something different：withdrawal from the Internet．I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I'm bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）．I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan．Largely breaking away from e-mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to，really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along：read books．
This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I，not the iPad，that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．"I don't need it，"I said．
However，as we return to post-vacation life，a harder test begins：Can I continue when I'm back at work？
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two．
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．

32．What do we know about the author's last summer vacation？C
A．He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view．
B．His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel．
C．He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation．
D．He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable．
33．What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year？B
A．He cut off his cellphone signal．
B．He handed his iPad to his wife．
C．He refused to cheat in his house．
D．He listened to the radio most of the time．
34．When back at work，the author will probably choose toA．
A．keep control of when and how to use the Internet
B．continue to road more and more books
C．stay away from the Internet for ever
D．stop checking what is being said right now completely
35．What is the author's opinion of a great vacation in the passage？C
A．A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day．
B．A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued．
C．A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative．
D．A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to．
