9．Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places？
Saki Kwoda，24
Schoolteacher （Japanese nonsmoker）
Yes．It should be banned．Smoking is not only bad for the smoker's health，but also for nonsmokers through passive smoking．In public people should think about others．
Alex Wright，23
Teacher （American nonsmoker）
I don't smoke．However，I don't really care if people smoke around me．Leave them alone． They have the right，and let them be．
Masako Imai，24
Phone engineer （Japanese smoker）
I smoke but I think it should be banned，I really want to give up and I think that if everywhere became nonsmoking，it would make it much easier for me to do so．
Luke Collings，35
Musician （British smoker）
I'm a smoker but am against others having to share my addiction．It's only a matter of time before society wakes up and realizes how addictive and destructive nicotine is．
Jenny Wilcox，31
Civil servant （British smoker）
I smoke but I agree with a ban．It forces people，including me，to smoke less．I'm from London，and although smokers were against the ban at first，it now feels totally normal．
Chris Kennedy，23
Student （British nonsmoker）
Walking past a smoking area，like the one by Hachiko，feels and smells absolutely awful．At least if smokers could smoke anywhere，then it would be spread out．

56．How many of the above smokers may now regret having picked up the bad habit？A
A．All．  B．None    C．Two．     D．Four．
57．Which of the four people are very tolerant of smoking？D
A．Chris Kennedy  B．Luke Collsngs  C．Saki Kuroda    D．Alex Wright
58．The underlined word"Hachiko"in the last part probably refers toC．
A．someone who dislikes smelly smokers
B．someone who smokes but agrees with a ban
C．a place near which there is an area for smokers
D．a．legal smoking area which may spread out．

分析 文章就公共场合是否应该禁止吸烟阐述了6个人不同的态度，都不同程度地认为吸烟应该被禁止．

解答 56-58 ADC
56题答案是A．归纳总结题．通读全文可知3个吸烟者Masako Imai，Luke Collings和Jenny Wilcox都认为吸烟应该被禁止，也就说他们都后悔自己有烟瘾．故选A．
57题答案是D．细节理解题．其他三人都认为应该禁烟，而Alex Wright的看法是However，I don't really care if people smoke around me．Leave them alone． They have the right，and let them be．周围的人有权利吸烟，态度宽容．故选D．
58题答案是C．推理判断题．根据Walking past a smoking area，like the one by Hachiko，feels and smells absolutely awful．At least if smokers could smoke anywhere，then it would be spread out句中one指代的是前面提到的smoking area，介词by表示在…附近，可推测Hachiko是指吸烟区附近．故选C．

点评 这是一篇健康环保类阅读．题目涉及细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对 性找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案．

17．You may read the questions first：
Our booklet is bringing to you the world's top sceneries：
Grenada
Known as the Island of Spice for its abundance of spicy plants and leaves，Grenada is one of the southernmost Windward Islands in the Caribbean Sea．Many of its spices have been destroyed by hurricanes in the last decade，though its spicy relics（遗迹） are still the inspirations of many master chefs worldwide．The central mountainous land's cooler air and waterfalls produce a near-constant cloud cover of freeze．
Tucson，Arizona
A seeming paradise that claims to have 350sunny days a year，Tucson boasts geological beauty and hiking so fantastic that visitors can be tempted into a false sense of security．Be warned：Get prepared for the heat as it isn't unusual for temperatures to rise higher than 110°F （43°C） in summer months，when the rocks can hold that heat well into the evening hours．Even your hunting dog will get sunburned
Southern Belize
With flash rainstorms that instantly fill the dirt roads and the wet that makes it one of the greenest places on Earth，this Maya wonderland is home to the longest barrier reef（堡礁） in the Western globe，the unique uropygialis birds and the deepest diving-the Blue Hole．Nonetheless it is the back roads of the Toledo district，where rain forest meets the jungle，that truly inspire awe and joy．
Newfoundland，Canada
This Canadian province，which sits at the eastern edge of North America，plays the home for 22whale species and dozens of seabirds that play in groups．While the capital city of St．John's can be quite gentle，the actual island of Newfoundland has more extreme and unpredictable weather moods．Don't forget to bring your windbreakers and thick sweaters．

Grimsey
This island across the Arctic Circle is the northernmost point of inhabitable space in Iceland．It is a small，rocky island with little vegetation，only a few hundred permanent residents，and cliffs teeming with arctic birds known as puffins，which seem insensitive to the local extreme chill as they dive-bomb from high on the rocks into the Arctic Ocean for food．

Cuenca，Spain
Uniquely known as the walled city because of its"hanging houses"atop （or actually part of） walls carved out of a rocky hillside in the 15th century，Cuenca's castle-like front sits above the Jucar River Valley，attracting visitors worldwide．The houses，which bake in the high summer temperatures，are now home to an abstract art museum reached by crossing a wooden pedestrian swinging bridge．

4．Farming is moving indoors，where the sun never shines，where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right．The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light，temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition．It could be in a New York high-rise or a complex in the Saudi desert．It may be an answer to the
The world already is having trouble feeding itself．Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those-about 3 billion-are hungry or ill-fed．Food prices，currently increasing，arebuffetedby dryness．Hoods and the cost of energy required to plant，harvest and transport it．And prices will only get more unstable．Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain．Fanners in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop．And the world is getting more crowded：by mid-century，the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion．
To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness，or finding ways to completely increase crop output．
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further，growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed（封闭的）and regulated environments．In their research station，water flows into the pans when needed，and the temperature is kept constant．Lights go on and off，creating similar day and night，but according to the rhythm of the plant．
A building of 100 square meters and layers（层）of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch，about 140，000 people．Their idea isn't to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes．
Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful．Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow．Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions．They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture．And city fanning means producing food near the consumer，and there's no need to transport it long distances．
66．What can we mainly learn from Paragraph 2？C
A．The climate is worse and worse．
B．The city people live a hard life．
C．The world has difficulty feeding its people．
D．The world's population is increasing fast．
67．The underlined word"buffeted"in Paragraph 1 meansA．
A．badly affected        B．prevented      C．demanded      D．well achieved
68．Which of the following is true of the environments in the research station？C
A．The temperature is often changed．
B．Sunshine is in great need for plants．
C．Day and night depends on plants．
D．Air quality is controlled by plants．
69．It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farmingB   
A．helps save sea water a lot                              
B．is highly adaptable
C．resembles greenhouse agriculture                        
D．suits the production of corn
70．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Development of indoor farming．                         
B．Great Revolution in farming．
C．Advantages of indoor farming．                          
D．Sunless，rainless indoor farming．
14．Promotion at work can be good for the pocket．However，it can also be very risky for a person's mental health，according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry．
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence，life control and overall well-being（幸福感）．"Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think．Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way，"said Chris Boyce，the researcher of the University of Warwick．He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions．Instead，these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should，which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate．
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health，Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey．The data contained information on nearly 1，000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom．And the data contained information on many aspects of life，including work and self-reported health．After analyzing all the available information，they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion．
However，what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress．The experts found that promotion gives people，on average，10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness．Matt Smith，a Scottish health expert，said mental stress is caused by working long hours．He said，"When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health．"
63．According to the text we can learn that work promotionD．
A．is traditionally believed to be harmful to people's health
B．decreases people's self-confidence and happiness
C．gives people more chances to have health checks
D．can help raise people's income to some extent
64．The underlined word"deteriorates"in the second paragraph means"becomesD"．
A．satisfying     B．doubtful      C．optimistic    D．worse
65．What do we know from Boyce's research？A
A．It analyzed many aspects of the promoted individuals'lives．
B．It surveyed 1，000 people in the world．
C．It showed how people gained work promotion．
D．It proved that work promotion may lead to a short-term change in health．
66．From the last paragragh we can learn thatA．
A．people who are promoted suffer from increased mental stress
B．the work after promotion will take up 20 percent of people's leisure time

1．Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level．A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the world's first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car．
The car is made mainly of renewable materials，like plants and vegetables．The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes．The steering wheel（方向盘） is made from root vegetables like carrots．The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate．
The new racing car is extremely fast．The car has a top speed of two hundred fifteen kilometers an hour．And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometers an hour in just two and a half seconds．
The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel（生物柴油）engine．
Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world．But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment．Racing cars burn a lot of fuel，and create a lot of air pollution．In recent years，the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment．More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy．These cars produce less pollution than cars that depend on traditional fuel，like gasoline．
Last month，the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch．It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three．Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete．Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete．They were unable to contact one of the drivers，so the new racing car didn't appear in the event．In test runs，the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars．Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season．

66．What's the second paragraph mainly about？A
A．What materials the new racing car is made of．
B．Why researchers built the new racing car．
C．The characteristics of the new racing car．
D．The process of the new racing car being designed．
67．According to the passage，theD of the new racing car doesn't meet the Formula Three racing requirements．
A．speed      B．appearance      C．weight      D．engine
68．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．the new racing car is the first environmentally friendly car
B．automobile racing could be forbidden in the near future
C．many people like to watch automobile racing
D．the new racing car will be allowed to compete in the next season of Formula Three racing
69．In recent years，racing companies are producing cars thatC．
A．burn more fuel                    B．go more quickly
C．produce less pollution            D．cost less money
70．Why didn't the new racing car compete at the Formula Three Championship Final last month？B
A．Because the new racing car still needs testing．
B．Because officials needed each racer's permission but failed to contact one．
C．Because there're some technical problems to be solved．
D．Because few drivers think it is fast enough．
18．A severe heatwave sweeping India，with temperatures of almost 44°C，the highest in 52years，has killed at least 80people this month，officials said on Sunday． The hot weather，which officials say would continue over northern，north-western and central India in the next 48hours，also may have some impact on wheat production，exporters and flour-mill associations said．
New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7°C on Saturday，indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India． The highest temperature in the past 24hours was 47°C at Ganganagar city，in Rajasthan state． Summer temperatures have been 4°C-6°C above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March，weather officials said．
In the eastern state of Orissa，authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday，advancing the annual summer holiday． Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53deaths from various parts of the state．
"District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths，"Bhimsen Gochhayat，a government official said． Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states．
India is expected to produce about 82million tons of wheat in 2009-2010，but there could be a shortage of 1-1.5million tons due to the heatwave，said Veena Sharma，Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India．"Most of the harvesting is over，but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1-1.5million tons due to the extreme weather conditions，"she told Reuters．
India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output，the major summer-sown food grain，marred by the worst monsoon （季风）in 37years last year． Weather officials say with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average，there were hopes of heavy rains at the start of the monsoon season that will help early sowing of rice，soybeans and lentils．
