As you can see，water works hard in your body every day.That’s why it’s important  to give your body the water it needs to carry out all its different jobs.On a regular day，your body loses 2 to 3 quarts of water—enough to fill a 2­liter soda bottle.You probably guess that water is lost when you sweat—especially   on a hot day.
But your body also loses water in an almost invisible way—evaporation (蒸發(fā))．Water escapes from your body through your skin and in your breath.How？Your breath contains droplets (小滴) of water that are usually too tiny to see.They become visible for a quick second in the cold when you can “see your breath”．But water evaporates this way all year round.Your skin also contains water，which escapes in tiny droplets that go into  the air.The water in your skin evaporates into the air，but fortunately，your body can replace the water it loses so your skin doesn’t dry out.
Eating and drinking is one way to replace the water your body loses.Most foods have a lot of water in them，especially fruits and vegetables.Grapes，watermelons，oranges，and cantaloupes are delicious and full of water.
But you can’t rely_on food alone to get that water back，and that’s why it’s also a good idea to drink water  every day.You might have heard someone say that people need to drink 6 to 8 cups (1.4 to 1.9 liters) of water each day.Depending on how much  water you’re getting from foods and other liquids,6 to 8 cups might not be necessary.If you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables，or you like to eat soup every day，you’ll get some of the water your body needs.
小題1:You should drink enough water every day because________.
A．your body needs too much water
B．water does all kinds of jobs in your body
C．your body loses a lot of water every day
D．the more water you drink the better you feel
小題2:Water in your body loses by the following ways EXCEPT________.
A．breathingB．evaporating
C．sweatingD．eating
小題3:Your body has to give enough water to your skin in order to________.
A．keep the water in your skin clean
B．stop your skin from drying out
C．stop the water from losing
D．keep your skin clean all the time
小題4:What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A．Eat up.B．Receive.
C．Depend upon.D．Digest.

One might expect that the ever­growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday­makers.Indeed，a rosy picture is painted for the long­term future of the holiday industry.Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere.And every month another rock­bound Pacific island is advertised as the ‘last paradise(天堂) on earth’．
However，the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy.In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea­side holidays，over­crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most.In recent years，Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education.Its forests，full of wildlife and rare flowers，were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise.In fact，the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday­makers traveling through the forest land.Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers，with the consequent exploitation of  precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism.The people as well rapidly feel its effects.Farmland makes way for hotels，roads and airports；the old way of life goes.The one­time farmer is now the servant of some multi­national organization；he is no longer his own master.Once it was his back that bore the pain；now it is his smile that is exploited.No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully，the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers.The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies.At the same time，tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit.Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies.Increased understanding in planning world­wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies.If not，in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
小題1:What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A．The Pacific island is a paradise.
B．The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C．The advertisement is not convincing.
D．The advertisement is not impressive.
小題2:The example of Nepal is used to suggest________.
A．its natural resources are untouched
B．its forests are exploited for farmland
C．it develops well in health and education
D．it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists
小題3:What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4?
A．They are happy to work their own lands.
B．They have to please the tourists for a living.
C．They have to struggle for their independence.
D．They are proud of working in multi­national organizations.
小題4:Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?
A．The number of tourists.
B．The improvement of services.
C．The promotion of new products.
D．The management of tourism.
小題5:The author’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is________.
A．optimisticB．doubtful

Each year on February 2nd, there is special festival called Groundhog Day (土撥鼠日 )' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(發(fā)音饒舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.
If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.
Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.  
Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.
The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right.  Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.
Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.
小題1:The underlined word “pops” means “        ”.
A．escapesB．a(chǎn)ppearsC．increasesD．hides
小題2:The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.
A．some of the predictions were unavailable
B．Phil wants to do that for fun
C．Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions
D．he has predicted more late springs
小題3:How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration?
A．By an accident.
B．From people's life improving.
C．By his own attractive force
D．From much money raised by the town.
小題4:Which does this passage mainly talk about?
A．The National Climate Data Center
B．A German tradition
C．A tongue-twisting small town
D．Groundhog Day weather forecasting

Zoos have been around for centuries — and they’ve changed a lot over the years. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people kept animals in their gardens. Public animal parks appeared in European cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first in the United States, opened in 1874.
Until a few decades (十年) ago, most zoos were organized by creatures — monkeys in one area, cats in another, birds somewhere else, just like museum collections. In recent years, zoos have instead begun grouping animals that would normally interact (互相作用) in the wild. Moreover, instead of closing animals behind bars, designers are creating landscapes like the environments in which these creatures would naturally be found. Nearby signs provide information about the animals and their habitats in parts of the world where they normally live.
The Denver Zoo’s new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims to teach visitors about Africa. Eight acres of land provide homes for 14 animal species, including lions, porcupines, cranes, and wild dogs. Plants from the region grow alongside African-like landform. Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they would do in the wild.
Landscape design makes visitors to the Denver Zoo’s Predator Ridge exhibit feel like they’re really in Africa.
Animals in Predator Ridge can’t actually be mixed with one another, for safety reasons. But hidden deep channels and other smart features allow visitors to see all the animals at once. Different species can see each other too.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Protection of zoo animals.
B．Changes of zoos over the time.
C．The safety problem of zoos.
D．The living habits of zoo animals.
小題2:In the Denver Zoo ten-foot-tall mounds are built to _____.
A．protect the safety of visitors
B．separate lions from other animals
C．create a natural environment for lions
D．offer visitors a better view of lions
小題3:The underlined part “the region” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____.
A．AfricaB．the Predator Ridge exhibit
C．the Denver ZooD．the ten-foot-tall mounds
小題4:We can learn from the passage that _____.
A．the earliest zoos were probably rich people’s gardens
B．the Philadelphia Zoo is the first zoo in the world
C．the new Predator Ridge exhibit is held in Africa
D．more animals will be kept in zoos in the future

Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.
For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people.

"Indeed," George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, "some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home." But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen hade been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(螢火蟲). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
　　The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.
　　Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, "to install (安裝) an alarm". Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant "to cheat", and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
　　We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as "little problems and difficulties" that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison "had been up the two previous nights discovering 'a bug' in his invented record player."
小題1:We learn from Paragraph 1 that __________________.
A．Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bug
B．George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug
C．the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth century
D．both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century
小題2:What does the word "flaw" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Fault.B．Finding.C．Origin.D．Explanation.
小題3:The passage is mainly concerned with__________________.
A．the misunderstanding of the word bug
B．the development of the word bug
C．the public views of the word bug
D．the special characteristics of the word bug

Is there a limit to the number of years that a person can expect to live? Can changes in life-style add years to one’s life? Throughout history people have sought answers to these questions and others.
Various myths offer the hope of great longevity. In the imaginary land of Shangri-La, for example, people are said to lead a charmed existence for a thousand years. The Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon was convinced that he would find the Foundation of Youth in what is now the state of Florida. According to the Bible, Methuselah lived to be more than 900 years old.
The subject of longevity is fascinating, and scientists study individuals such as Jeanne Calment to learn about the aging process. Calment died in 1997 in Arles, France, at the age of 122. She never married, and she lived in her own apartment until moving to a retirement community when she was 109.
Most scientists agree that bodies will last, at best, about 125 years. This potential has changed little since modern human beings appeared more than 100 thousand years age. Recent improvements in medicine and the environment have extended life expectancy, especially for those from poorer parts of the world. It is not clear, however, whether such improvements will lengthen life expectancy beyond a certain point.
Life expectancy is the number of years an infant can be expected to live, given the conditions into which it is born. Life expectancy, therefore, is affected by nutrition, medical care, and social and political circumstances. An individual’s genetic makeup is also an important factor. Children from long-lived families can hope to enjoy long lives themselves. According to recent data, the average life expectancy worldwide in 1998 was 67 years. This can be compared with an average life expectancy of 77 in the United States.
In 1970 the average life expectancy worldwide was 61 years, or 6 years less than it was in 1998. This same period saw a drop in infant mortality -— the death of a child before the first birthday-—from 80 births out of 1,000 to 54 births out of 1,000. According to some researchers, the rise in the average life expectancy is due primarily to the drop in infant mortality. It is not so much that adults are living to an older age. It is, rather, that more people are living into adulthood because more children are surviving beyond their first birthdays.
小題1:Infant mortality is defined as ________ .
A．the number of children born alive
B．the kinds of behavior typical of very young children
C．the number of children, out of 1,000 births, who die before their first birthday
D．the typical and obvious thoughts of very young children
小題2:Although it may be possible to improve the life expectancy of a particular group of people, ________ .
A．it is more difficult to affect the rate of infant mortality
B．it is unlikely that one will be able to extend the potential life span of human beings in general
C．the process of evolution is extending the potential life span beyond 125 years
D．the potential that bodies will last, at best, about 125 years has changed much since modern human beings appeared
小題3:One can infer that people have at times imagined that ________ .
A．people live longer in the state of Florida
B．a(chǎn) long life is a burden rather than a blessing
C．it is possible to find a way to live for centuries
D．life expectancy is affected by a couple of factors
小題4:One can conclude that  ________ .
A．the aging process can be stopped.
B．the aging process is inevitable.
C．life expectancy in the United States will soon reach 125 years.
D．the average life expectancy worldwide is decreasing
