1.BSpending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges (挑战) the belief that short- sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted--this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均) of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.Professor(教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors. “Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.24. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes. C. 1 hour. D. 30 minutes.

2.阅读理解Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity.It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night.Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference.Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket.Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading.You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading.Well, this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book.You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m.rate creeping up.6.The passage recommends setting aside for reading practice().A.two hours a dayB.one hour a dayC.15 minutes or half an hour a dayD.three minutes a day before meal7.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read() .A.15 minutes at 10 pm each nightB.for at least 15 minutes at bedtimeC.no matter it was early or lateD.whenever he had a spare moment8.It is a good idea always to carry in your packet ().A.a book you will never forgetB.a serious bookC.several books of various kindsD.an easy and interesting English book9.According to the passage, a “pacing” device() .A.measures a student’s reading speedB.is not included in most speed reading coursesC.is an aid to vocabulary learningD.should be used whenever we read alone10.Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes ().A.avoids the need for reading fasterB.is not the same as pacingC.is not easy at firstD.helps you to remember the page number you were at last time

3.We can learn from the passage that______.A. Reading is just a way of knowing new wordsB. A good reader must learn more new wordsC. A good reader can think before, while and after readingD. Reading takes a lot of time

    Passage Five

    In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled' to begin at 10 A. M. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after the scheduled time. Several arrived half an hour later. Few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students, behavior.

    The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class. He found that if they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. However, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.

    In an American university, classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12: 00; many remained past 12: 30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

    51. The word "punctual' most probably means______.

    A. leaving soon after class

    B. coming early

    C. arriving a few minutes late

    D. being on time


    正确答案：D

    Method for College Students to Cover Tuition Fees and Other Living Costs In China, college students should pay for the tuition fees themselves. However, most students have no jobs and the most common way to cover tuition fees is to turn to parents for help. There are also some students who find jobs in the summer before they go to college. In my opinion, the best way is to find part-time jobs.
    On the one hand, they are in school all the time, from primary school to high school. They never get in touch with society and need social experience. So, during college time, they can take the opportunity of doing part-time jobs to accelerate experience.
    On the other hand, college students can earn money to support themselves. Some students are able to earn their tuition fees and some may not. Even though the money they earn is not enough for the tuition fees, it can cover their living costs.
    All in all, part-time job not only can add social experience but also can support college students their everyday life and even tuition fees. It is the best way for them because they can benefit much from it.

    Sprained（扭伤）Ankle

    One of the most common injuries teenagers and adults experience is a sprained ankle.A sprain occurs
    when the ligaments（韧带）of a joint are twisted（扭伤）and possibly torn. Ligaments are bands of fibers that
    hold the bones of a joint in position.A sprain can occur from a sudden twisting at the joint,or a stretching or
    tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured area usually swells（肿胀）and becomes black and blue.
    Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrong angle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can
    leave you rolling on the ground in pain with an ankle on fire!If you cannot walk without experiencing intense
    pain,you must seek medical help.If the pain is manageable,and you can walk,here are three words to help
    you remember how to treat yourself:
    ● Elevate（抬高）
    ●Cool
    ● Bandage（打绷带）
    As soon as there is injury to that ligament,there will be a certain amount of bleeding under the skin.
    Once the blood poois around the damaged blood vessels,swelling occurs.The pressure from the swelling
    results in additional stress and tenderness to the region.In order to reduce the degree of swelling,lie down as
    soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated so that it is actually higher than your heart. Next,to reduce
    blood distribution and keep bleeding（流血）to a minimum , apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes , take the
    pack off,wait half an hour,and then reapply.This can be done several times a day for a total of three days.
    Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time.Reducing the temperature in that area for
    an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise the body temperature!Therefore,
    one accidentally triggers（引起）more blood distribution to the affected area by leaving a cold pack on for too
    long!Finally,bandage the ankle.Be careful not to wind it too tightly;doing so can restrict blood flow and
    cause harm to the entire foot.

    Once the initial cold pack is removed,what is to be done?
    A:Begin bandaging the ankle.
    B:Wait 30 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 20 minutes.
    C:Keep the ankle in a position lower than your heart.
    D:Wait 20 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 30 minutes.

    答案：B
    解析：
    由文章第一段第二句“A sprain occurs when the ligaments of a joint are twisted...”可 知选A。
    由文章第一段第五句“ The injured area usually swells and becomes black and blue”可知受 伤的地方会肿起来而且皮肤会青一块紫一块的。
    由第二段第五行it前的“keep the ankle elevated”可知是将脚躁抬高，使其超过心脏的 位置。
    由文章第二段倒数第二句“wait half an hour , and then reapply”可知选A。 reapply意为 “重新做”。
    通读全文可知，文章主要讲的是当脚躁扭伤时，我们应该怎样进行处理。故选B,.第5部分：补全短文
