1、Unit 5第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）AA rising population is one of the main reasons that there is global warming. Between 1650 and 1850 the population increased by 0.75 billion people going from 0.25 billion to one billion. From 1930 to the end of the century the population ros
2、e from two billion to over six billion. In just a third of the time the population rose by more than five times what it did before. It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue and could even heighten. The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy. These ene
3、rgy demands and other supplies require production, which almost always involves the emission of greenhouse gases. The more the population increases the more greenhouse gases that are produced and the greater the increase in temperature.The burning of fossil fuels is one of the best-known causes for
4、global warming. The major reason for fossil fuels contributing so much to global warming is the release of carbon that occurs during the burning of fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels, they release large amounts of carbon by way of the release of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the air
5、 then leads to global warming.Another source of carbon dioxide comes from deforestation. In forests there is a large amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants. This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide. When people cut down tree
6、s, they are frequently burned. This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that was stored in organic matter. Even when new trees are planted, it can take up to one hundred years to make up for the carbon that was released. It is commonly thought that because trees absorb more carbo
7、n dioxide, the atmosphere experiences positive effects.Sophie Armstrong, the writer of Earth Care put it, “Theres no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer because of human activity rather than a random but natural phenomenon.21.

What happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at exactly the same moment. It is as if a single u
18、nimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude (前奏) to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the ta
19、ble, smashing half your best pottery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, pottery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can go wrong o
20、n a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered i n Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. Durin g the rush hour one evening two cars collided (猛撞) and both drivers beganto argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got int o a panic and stopped her car
21、. This made the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, stopped all
22、of a sudden. The l orry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime
23、, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily ate what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!28.

Had the wife of the man who braked not thrown a cake through the window.30. There was a second angry argument
26、because .A. the lorry driver blamed the owner of the cake for his accidentB. the t raffic was extremely slow to get on the move again.C. the lorry driver did not think he should be made to sweep up the glass.D. two dogs had eaten what was left of the cake.31.

Misfortunes never come singly.DThat Monday morning feeling could bea crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath.Recent research from Germ
28、any and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin o
29、f more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by compar
30、ison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead
31、to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we dont know what actually causes heart attacks, sowe cant give clear advice on how
32、to prevent them. he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work.When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌) changes in
33、 their bodies. Willich explained. All these things can have an unfavorable effect in theblood system and increase the risk of a clot (血凝块) which will cause a heart attack.When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more an
34、ger and more physical activities. said Willich.32. Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows,A. is not as serious as people thoughtB. is the first killer in Germany and ItalyC. is harmful to working people in developed countries D.is created by researchers in Germany and Italy33. To protect peop
35、le from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention toA. peoples working timeB. peoples living placeC. peoples nationalitiesD. peoples lifestyle34. What does the underlined word break mean in the passage?A. endB. restC. freedomD. play35. It can be learned from this passage that the heart attack
36、 has something to do with all the following EXCEPTA. blood pressure B. heart rateC. hormonal change D. blood type第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Tips for Smarter StudyingBrushing up (温习) for a school test?

37、rning is an art as well as a science. Then how can we learn more efficiently? Below are some tips about the science of successful learning. 36Pull up a seat, and start taking notes.1. 37Handwriting is slow, so you have to think harder about the material to distill (提取) it. It might seem painful to p
38、ut pen to paper, but youll save study time in the end.2. Dont study without practice.38 The constant repetition of remembering something is not efficient. Searching your brain for what youre trying to remember keeps things fresher. Ex periments showed those who took a test did better on a subsequent
39、 test than those who studied. Its not just about remembering information, but using the brain muscles to practice retrieving (恢复) the informationtoo. Thats what a test requires of us.3. Sleep on it. Maybe you are accustomed to staying late before a test. But if you want to keep some information for
