Many people have given up smoking in fear of lung cancer. The American Cancer Society reports that the number of de
24、aths from lung cancer has greatly increased. Last year 111, 000 Americans died of lung cancer while it is reported that 117,000 will die this year.

What do you think of that? Fashionable?
28、Some of todays teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in Italian middle schools.The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low- rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came a
29、fter a class trip, when he saw one boys baggy trousers slide(滑) to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate(辩论) among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the
30、 head teachers request will limit students freedom or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual (随意的).A parents group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion.We do not want to kick fashion out, the headmaster explained, but extremes(极
31、端) of fashion like this are not right in school. Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.Most students have simply ignored(忽略)the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a
32、 matching orange scarf.Another 14-year-old girl said she should probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. I dont really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans, said Sarah Lattanzi. In winter, when dressed like that, its quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.60. What led
33、to the argument in Italian middle schools?A. Students craze for fashion.B. Clothes that are too exposing.C. Students ignore dress codes.D. Students underwear.61. Which of the following supports the headmasters request?A. Fashion should be taken seriously.B. Fashion should not be followed in school.
34、C. Students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear.D. Students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes.62. The argument against the headmasters request is that _.A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students clothes B. fashion should not be followed
35、in schoolC. dress in Italian schools is too casual D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngsters Health63. The purpose of this story is to _.A. show Chinese students that wearing very fashionable clothes in school is under attack in other countries, tooB. show that dress code is necessary even in a co
36、untry like Italy C. tell us that a debate started in Italian middle schools over the way students dress in schoolD. let us see that Italian students react differently to schools requestsCIf seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humorists once said th
37、at this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get
38、 exercise, can it?Taking all amateur (业余) and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated (起源于) in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as
39、an organized game, or association football , it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.The next is rugby, which is called football in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled
40、as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.Tennis rates high on the list, too. I
41、t was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or ping-pong, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during
42、the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.64. The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English _.A. are all sports loversB. behave like childrenC. like to kick a ball aroundD. can remain young
43、 all their lives65. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?A. They differ in the shape of the ball.B. They are played by different numbers of players.C. They both can be handled.D. They both can be kicked.66. The game that was never played in Britain un
44、til the late 19th century is _. A. basketball B. tennis C. rugby D. football67. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Most Popular Sports B. The English Sports C. History of Sports D. Sports in BritainDIf you could travel anywhere you wanted this winter, where would you go? Would you
45、ski in the mountains, visit friends in another state, or lie on a beach somewhere? Or would you rather take a rocket into space?The last choice might not be as far off as you think. A few of companies are designing rockets, testing engines, and building electronic systems to make spaceships that wou
46、ld take people on the trip to the moon every day.Already, several astronauts have flown into space in a privately-built spaceship. On Sept. 29, Mike Melvill flied the Spaceship One to a height of 64 miles above Earths surface.I strongly feel that, if we are successful, our program will mark the begi
47、nning of a renaissance (复兴) for manned space flight, Burr Rutan says.

49、 says. The rides wont be cheap, however.Although you cant make it this winter, maybe you could celebrate your birthday in space. Start saving your pennies now!68.
