19．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
Some sports are resource-hungry（渴求资源的）．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．
You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports ten-tern．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．

29．Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？A
A．Cycling around a lake．
B．Driving a car on the street．
C．Playing basketball in a gym．
D．Swimming in a sports center．
30．What do we know about golf from Paragraph 2？C
A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain．
B．It causes water shortage around the world．
C．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green．
D．It protects the earth with chemicals and wastes．

A．it is an outdoor sport         B．it improves our health
C．it uses fewer resources        D．it is recommended by experts

B．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports
C．discuss the major influence of popular sports
D．encourage us to go in for green sports．

29．A 细节题，根据第一段your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment你运动的选择会对环境有影响，以及Some sports are resource-hungry有些运动是需要资源的，排除只有骑自行车既环保又不浪费资源，故A正确．
30．C 细节题．根据文章第二段．Besides，all sorts of chemical and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas可知高尔夫运动耗费的资源很多．故C正确．
31．C 推理题．根据文章第三段There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes； and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．可知这是一些耗费资源很少的运动，故C正确．

9．When couples get m arried，they usually plan to have childr en．Sometimes，however，a couple can not have a child of their own．In this case，they may decide to adopt a child．In fact，adoption is very common today．There are about 60 thousand adoptions each year in the United States alone．Some people prefer to adopt infants，others adopt older children，some couples adopt children from their own countries，and others adopt children from foreign countries．In any case，they all adopt children for the same reason---they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life．
　　Most adopted children know that they are adopted．Psychologists and child-care experts generally think this is a good idea．However，many adopted children，or adoptees，have very little information about their biological parents．As a matter of fact，it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed．The information is secret so no one can see it．Naturally，adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents．Many adoptees want to search for them，but others do not．The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make．Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents．Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents，they do know that their adopted parents want them，love them and will care for them．
71．According to the passage，some couples adopt children becauseA
A．They care a lot about children．

10．Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise．Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised，the fatty tissues （组织） in the immediate area are burned up．The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area．Of course，if you reduce the fat throughout your body，you will certainly see results around your waist too．
Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness．However，studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly．Within 48to 72hours，you must use the muscles again to reestablish （重建） the good physical effects．And what does that mean to you？American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful，exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness．
Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance？The answer is no．The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile，since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance．The speed does not matter．Of course，if you run rather than walk for 30minutes，you will cover more distance，and therefore burn more calories．
If your breathing doesn't return to normal within 5minutes after you finish exercising，you have exercised too much．Five minutes or so after exercising，your breathing should be normal，your heart shouldn't be beating loudly，and you shouldn't be tired．

21．If you want to reduce the fat around your waist，you shouldC．
A．do stomach exercise                      
B．exercise the waist
C．exercise all the muscles of your body        
D．run fast for 30minutes
22．From the second paragraph，we learn thatD．
A．we only need to exercise twice a week
B．we should exercise three times a week
C．muscles lose their strength after 48hours
D．we should exercise every other day，or three days a week
23．It can be inferred from the third paragraph thatD．
A．you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hour
B．whether you run one mile or walk the same distance，you use the same amount of energy
C．you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distance
D．both A and B
24．If you have exercised too much，A．
A．your breathing will take longer than 5minutes to return to normal after you finish exercising
B．your breathing will return to normal within 5minutes after finishing exercising
C．your heart will not be beating loudly
D．you will be too tired to move
25．This passage tells us thatC．
A．it is better to do more running than walking
B．the more exercise you do，the healthier you will be
C．the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hours
D．in order to lose weight，you have to run fast．
7．Do you like listening to English songs to learn the language？Some students don't believe doing so can help them learn English．I have to say they think wrongly．Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better．You may ask how．Just read on．
Lyrics are not easily forgotten．You listen to them over and over again throughout your life．Once you learn them，they are going to stay with you，and you are going to review them repeatedly because you enjoy them．If you learn just one song per week for a year，those are 52songs full of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget．
Songs give you perfect pronunciation models．As you learn to sing them，you are practicing your pronunciation，you are imitating native speakers，and you are learning how to speak better．The rhythm naturally leads to better pronunciation，better intonation（声调），and more fluency．
When you start paying attention to the lyrics，your listening skills naturally improve．Once you learn a few songs，you'll start gathering a lot of songs and vocabulary．A larger vocabulary usually means better listening comprehension．Just the fact that you start caring about the lyrics will activate your listening skills and listening to music in English will become an enjoyable learning exercise．
Another huge   merit  is that you get to practice your grammar．Some of the most intelligent grammar questions my students bring to me come from songs．You can probably even map the entire language into pop songs and greatly improve your grammar by learning the lyrics to your favorite songs．
Now we can conclude that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well．So listen to more English songs in your free time．You can put the lyrics on your ipod or iphone and read them as you listen．Believe me，and you'll benefit a lot．

11．Lost in the Post    How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin？That's where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville．（36）GSwift's management said it was an accident，but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures．According to th e BBC reporter Jon Kelly，at the height of his fame，Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10，000 letters a week．（37）CThe dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier．The White House says it deals with 20，000 messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day．
Some celebrities don't want letters．In 2008，Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy．（38）ARobert Pattinson，star of the Twilight films，claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans，which takes up almost all his free time．
Many artists，however，outsource（外包） the task of opening，reading and replying．Sylvia"Spanky"Taylor，58，has run a service in California that does just that since 1987．（39）FMost letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration，she says．A few ask for money．A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity's security team and law enforcement．
The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence（通信）．Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals，and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled．
（40）DFor some，this is enough，according to Lynn Zubernis，an expert at West Chester University．She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community．

A．Others do attempt to get through it themselves．
B．In fact，there is no alternative to deal with the problem．
C．How could he have enough time to skim through these letters one by one？
D．Typically，correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed"signature"．
E．Accordingly，the correspondence problem has been difficult for the computer to automate．
F．She and her staff deal with up to 20，000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities．
G．This incident has caused a wide public concern about how the public figures deal with the   letters or mails from the fans．
8．Dana Cummings was in his thirties before he first went surfing．But，even more interesting is that Dana Cummings chose to learn the sport after losing a leg in a car accident．Now，nine years later，he helps other disabled people learn how to ride in AmpSurf．

A car accident in 2002took Dana Cummings's leg．He says the accident changed him more than just physically．"Losing my leg makes me realize how precious life is．I do more things now than I ever did before．Next week I am going to compete in a contest in Hawaii，"Dana says．
One year later Dana Cummings formed AmpSurf．AmpSurf is a group that volunteers to holds surfing classes and events for people with all kinds of disabilities．
Recently，AmpSurf took its training programs to the East Coast．Eleven students attended the class in Maine．They had come from all over the northeastern United States．
Dana Cummings says AmpSurf can change the way a disabled person thinks．"Most people with disabilities consider himself or herself unlucky and useless，but we want them to see what they can do．Who cares you lost your leg or you're blind，whatever？Have fun．Just enjoy life．"Make the most of your life．"Dana says．

9．While reading a book in English，every few lines of text，you run across a word or two that you don't know．You look up every new word in the dictionary．Bad move．All that does slow you down．Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress．A dictionary is like a road map．It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction．But if you stop to look at the"map"each time you take a step，you'll get nowhere fast．
