17、 TV and turn on 43 .” According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average 44 in the US spend 45 time in front of the TV (about 1,023 hours per year) than they do in school (about 900 hours per year). Too much TV 46 has made many kids grow fat. 47 , in 2001s TV-Turnoff Week, US Surgeon General David Sat

Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the
19、 TV “is or 50 , part of a healthy lifestyle”. “One of the great lessons of 51 TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that 52 I turn on the TV, Im deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a 53 .

24、osphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle. There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form
25、 and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapour. The vapour rises onto the air.
26、 Water vapour is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾) above the water. Water vapour also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off
27、water vapour from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fal
28、l instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Water cycle.B. Water vapour. C. How rain forms. D. Water, va
29、pour, rain.57. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.58. Whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on _. A. how much water is evaporatedB. how good your eyes areC. in which way water is evaporated D. climate or weather59. F
30、rom the passage we get to know _. A. there is more water vapour in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions B. there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapour D. the am
31、ount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains BMargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“I would
32、have liked to go back to it, but the shifts（工作班次） are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m.till 6 a.m.five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance.“Its better than it was last year, but I still thin
33、k that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”The hours she s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband.However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasa
34、nt, either.“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs.If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.”The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all.Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where s
35、he works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three.“Since Ive got to be here, I try to enjoy myselfand I usually do, because of the other girls.We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what
36、 she does for a living.“They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said Margaret.“I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doing, but I dont think that way any more.I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”60.Margaret quit he
37、r job as a nurse because _. A.she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB.she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC.she needed the right time to look after her childrenD.she felt tired of taking care of patients61.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _.A.they neve
38、r clean their offices B.they look down upon cleanersC.they never do their work carefully D.they always make a mess in their offices62.When at work, Margaret feels _.A.light-hearted because of her fellow workersB.happy because the building is fully litC.tired because of the heavy workloadD.bored beca
39、use time passes slowly63.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margarets parents would _. A.help care for her children B.regret what they had saidC.show sympathy for her D.feel disappointed in her C Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people? Using mic
40、rowaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwave
41、s only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects. To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start
42、 to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives abo
43、ut 1000 mw. / sq. cm. In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector (运动感应器)would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven
44、 heats up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.) While it might be some time
45、before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.64.
46、 Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?A. A new heating system.B. A new microwave oven.C. A popular technique.D. The magnetron.65. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?A. It directly heats people in a room
47、. B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.C. It is safe. D. It saves energy66. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about _.A. 20 mw. / sq. cm.B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.C. 60 mw. / sq. cm.D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.67. According to Paragraph 4, which of the
48、 following fills the room with low-power microwaves?A. The magnetron.B. The motion detector.C. The microwave oven.D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.68. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with? A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by
49、 homeowners. B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable. C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter. D Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability (能力). They feel hoples
50、s about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it? To be sure, people are different. You cannot expect to do everything as well as certain other people do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others wou
51、ld be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow
52、 and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability. Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their poor reading were discov
53、ered, they were given special instructiong and practice in reding. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.69. With the example of basketball players, the author shows . A. why certain people are poor readers. B.
54、that there are differences in peoples abilities C. why some people are good basketball players D. that good basketball players can be good readers70. To improve their reading albility, people should . A. work long and hard B. take different forms of tests C. have special help and practice D. try dif
55、ferent reading materials71. The experiments mentioned in the text show that . A. good readers seem to enjoy reading B. almost all poor reders can make progress C. causes of poor reading are difficult to find out D. tests help people improve their reading ability ECheerleaders arc part of athletic co
56、mpetitions throughout the United States. As their name says they lead the crowd in cheering for the team it likes best. About five years ago. cheerleaders were considered to be simply entertainers. Today there is much more Cheerleading in America which has become another form of athletic competition
57、. Cheerleaders today are expected to be gymnasts and dancers. They are expected to be quick and strong. Many . cheerleaders are better athletes than the boys and girls on sports teams. High school cheerleading especially has become more difficult. The students must be in top physical shape. They mus
58、t be able to jump high, turn circles in the air and lift each other. Teachers say this is the result of the influence of college cheerleaders. High school students watch college football and basketball games on TV. They see how the cheerleaders throw each other into the air and perform difficult ath
59、letic movements. They want to do the same thing. There is one big difference between the two groups. however. College cheerleaders in America are young men and women. The men do most of the lifting. At most high schools only girls are cheerleaders. Its very difficult for them to hold others on their
60、 shoulders and throw them into the air. There are a number of ways high school cheerleaders are improving their skills. They are exercising and lifting weights to increase their strength. And they are attending camps during the summer holidays to learn new techniques. Cheerleaders test their skills
61、by taking part in competitions against cheerleaders from other schools. just like other athletes. Coaches at some high schools say this new kind of athletic cheer leading has caused some problems . They say girls who were soccer and basketball players are now competing for places on a cheer leading
62、team. As more girls attempt to become cheerleaders, sports teams suffer from a lack of good players. 72.Whatcheerleaders should do is to lead the crowd _ A. to take part in competitions B. to cheer for their favorite teams C. to be quick and strong D. to be good high jumpers 73.Which of the followin
63、g sentences is NOT true about cheerleaders? A. They should be quick and strong. B. They are expected to be dancers and singers. C. They must be in top physical shape. D. They must be able to jump high. 74. According to the last paragraph we can know, that _A. girls like to become leaders B. it is ea
64、sy for girls to be cheerleaders . C. sports teams have no good players D. more and more girls try to be cheerleaders 75. What is the main idea of this passage? A.Cheerleaders are part of athletic competitions. B . Why cheerleaders are so important. C. What makes good cheerleaders and how they work.
