Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill
30、 in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When discussing the causes of animal endangerment, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this difficult situation. Endangerment is a broad 50 , one that involves the habitats (栖息地)
31、and environments where species live and interact with one another. Although some measures are being 51 to help specific cases of endangerment, the universal problem cannot be solved until the 52 environments where endangered species live are 53 by humans. There are many reasons why a particular spec
32、ies may become endangered, but habitat destruction is on top.Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be changed and modified. Natural changes tend to occur at a gradual pace, usually causing only a slight 54 on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is
33、little or no time for individual species to _55 and adapt to new circumstances. This can create disastrous results, and for this reason, rapid habitat loss is the 56 cause of species endangerment. The strongest forces in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been
34、affected by human 57 , particularly during this past century. The loss of microbes (微生物) in soils that formerly supported tropical forests, the 58 of fish and various aquatic (水族的) species in polluted habitats, and changes in global climate brought about by the 59 greenhouse gases are all results of
35、 human activities.It can be 60 for an individual to recognize the effects that humans have had on specific species. It is also hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. 61 it is quite obvious that human activities have greatly c
36、ontributed to species endangerment. 62 , although tropical forests may look as though they are thick and healthy, they are actually highly susceptible (易受影响的) to destruction only because of the soils in which they grow 63 nutrients (营养). It may take centuries to re-grow a forest that was cut down by
37、 humans or destroyed by fire, and many of the worlds severely threatened animals and plants live in these forests. If the present rate of forest 64 continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear. 50. A. theme B. projectC. issue D. experiment51. A. performedB. taken C. held D.

41、 passage you have just read. (A)Some say everyday miracles are predestined (注定的)- All thats necessary is readiness, the right circumstance for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere. In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brothers Little League team in Lancaster,
42、 New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, and giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit
43、Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped. When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadnt planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift (轮班) at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny
44、bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions (按压). And he came to life. After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his

Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and s
46、aw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking (哽住). Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands.

47、turn to her face. “The food was stuck. I couldnt breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”Who was the woman? Penny Brown.65.

The following are comments made by Twitter viewers.A. Yeah, Osama got what he deserve
52、d, Iraq got what they deserved, and Afghanistan got what they deserved. Saddam got what he deserved, Hitler got what he deserved. The list goes on & on.B.

53、e whole story about dropping him into the ocean. We feel if they really killed him they would keep his body for proof.D. All you Islamic haters are ignorant fools. The terrorists dont have anything to do with the religion. They say they are part of the Islamic Religion but they are not. Nuking (kill
54、 somebody with nuclear bombs) Pakistan will do nothing by the way.E. Please give me the 2 minutes of my life back that I watched your pointless and fake video.F. Man? Why is this video fake?

59、ound C. the writer of Comment D is probably an Islamic believer D. Bin Ladens death is still a mystery because the terrorists have denied it (C)Imagine being on a treadmill (跑步机), wearing a face mask connected to oxygen-measuring equipment. You are walking at a leisurely pace, at the slowest setting
60、, so your oxygen consumption is fairly low. As the speed of the treadmill increases, your metabolism (新陈代谢) increases, and as a result, your oxygen consumption goes up as well. Your muscle cells are using the extra oxygen to break down carbohydrates, which they use for fuel, and turn them into energ
61、y, so their metabolism is said to be aerobic (with air). You are now jogging along at a comfortable speed, still supplying sufficient oxygen to your muscle cells, so your exercise is still aerobic. As you increase your speed, your oxygen consumption will continue to rise, but at some point, it will
62、stop rising. That is because your heart and lungs have reached their maximum capacity for supplying oxygen to the muscles via the bloodstream. But you can still run a lot faster. Your speed keeps increasing and eventually you are running as fast as you can, but your oxygen consumption has not change
63、d. Your muscle cells can keep on firing without getting the extra oxygen they need because they are able to break down carbohydrates without using oxygen. This is called anaerobic (without air) metabolism. Sprinters (短跑运动员), who run at top speed, perform most of their hundred-meter race anaerobicall
64、y; in contrast, long-distance runners, who have time to vary their speed, perform most of their event aerobically. Anaerobic metabolism is far less efficient than aerobic metabolism but is capable of generating very high quantities of energy for short periods of time. It also generates lactic acid (
65、乳酸) as a by-product. This is stored in the muscles and associated with muscle fatigue and general exhaustion. That is why sprinting cannot be kept up for very long. After sprinting, the lactic acid that has been stored in the muscles has to be broken down, and this requires oxygen, which explains wh
66、y we breathe quickly after a hard run.72. The bodys energy is usually obtained through the breakdown of _. A. carbohydrates B. lactic acid C. the bloodstream D. oxygen73. When you run, your body begins anaerobic metabolism _. A. as you begin to pick up speed B. after sprinting is completed C. when y
67、our heart and lungs cannot supply enough oxygen D. when the lactic acid in your muscles must be broken down 74. Which of the following statements is true? A. Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic metabolism.B. Aerobic metabolism breaks down carbohydrates without oxygen.C. Aerobic metab
68、olism produces lactic acid.D. Aerobic metabolism happens for only brief periods.75. The passage implies that during sprinting, _.A. there is a dangerous pressure on the heartB. the bodys reserve of carbohydrates increasesC. the body breaks down carbohydrates both with and without oxygenD. the body n
69、eeds less energy than usualSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Focus on your relationships.B. Think about what to do next.C. Take good care of your body.D. Try to avoid over
70、-thinking.E. Set up a proper goal for yourself.F. Practise acts of kindness.Five Happiness Secrets For Tough TimesSonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years. Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout t
71、he day.76. _“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective
72、ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times are tough, Ive been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”77. _Now more than ever we need each other to survive.
73、 Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someones life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us cant afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a f
74、riend a ride.”78. _You dont need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kids needs can weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved one
75、s.“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents cant afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they dont realize is that kids dont care about toys what they care about is parents bei
76、ng grumpy and taking it out on them.”79. _“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy people all have goals they care about.”Commit yourself to a project whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But its also important to remember to
77、be flexible in these times. Dont get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change!“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”80. _When times are tough
78、, its easy to skip your regular workouts in favor of mopping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.”But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care). It will go a l
79、ong way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you cant afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.” Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A newly-published study has shown
80、that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in
81、 the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.University of Chicago psychologist John Caciop
82、po led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend
83、of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someones loneliness.The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected grou
84、p. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also finds that every
85、additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.The study suggests tha
86、t people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What personal beh
