27、People aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.

I felt superior(不为……所动) about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.

It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was brought up in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced -–and beat-—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.

Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.

It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.

The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

【1】 What is the national sickness?

A. Walking too much B. Traveling too much 

C. Driving cars too much D. Climbing stairs too much.

【2】What was life like when the author was young?

A. People usually went around on foot.  

B. people often walked 25 miles a day

C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.

D. people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.

【3】 The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that______.

A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature 

B. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind

C. people need regular exercise to keep fit

D. going on foot prevents heart disease

【4】What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?

A. To tell people to reflect(思考) more on life. 

B. To recommend people to give up driving

C. To advise people to do outdoor activities 

D. To encourage people to return to walking

28、China’s high-tech buildings can be seen everywhere in places like Beijing and Shanghai, but a few hundred miles away in Shanxi province, some three million people still live in caves.

These simple homes often dot the countryside in small, hard-to-find groups, but in places like Lijiashan, where hundreds of caves are on nine different levels of a hillside, it is possible to find whole villages made up entirely of cave livers.

People have been living in caves in Shanxi for around 5,000 years, and it is believed that at one time a quarter of the population lived underground. These days around one-twelfth live in caves and for many of them, life is almost as it was for their ancestors.

Lijiashan, a 550-year-old cave village is typical. Like most cave villages, there is still no running water, meaning locals are using muddy water of the nearby Yellow River. Most homes still have paper windows rather than glass ones. Inside, their owners sleep on large stone beds, known as kang; cool in the summer, but fires can be lit inside them during the winter months.

Lijiashan once housed 600 families. But now there are just over 40. Mr Li’s family has lived in Lijiashan for six generations. After his kids left the village to find work elsewhere, he and his wife turned their 180-year-old home into a guest house with cave bed-rooms where Chinese art students stay when they come to paint the unusual village landscape.

“The only people left here now are old people,” he said, “As soon as the children grow up they leave. They don’t mind living here by the Yellow River. Sometimes they just move down the road. But they want to live in new apartments, not in these old caves.”

【1】According to the passage, in Lijiashan________.

A. some three million people still live in caves   B. hundreds of caves are hard to find

C. all the villagers are cave livers   D. people live in small groups

【2】In a typical cave village_________.

A. people usually use water of the river   B. the houses have glass windows

C. people sleep on the ground   D. there is running water

【3】Why do the families in Lijiashan become fewer and fewer?

A. Because old people have to leave their homes to have a better life.

B. Because the students go to school in the city.

C. Because caves are not fit to live now.

D. Because young people don’t want to live there any more.

【4】The underlined word “landscape” can probably be replaced by_______.

A. animal   B. scenery   C. clothing   D. window

29、Doctors have been treating the symptoms of most diseases, and not the source, for centuries. They have cut out tumors (肿瘤) and failed to touch the biological code within cells that tells them to grow malignant(恶性), pass along abnormal nerve signals, take in too much or too little energy, and suffer from diseases. The code is the DNA molecule in each cell that tells it what to do and when, and it sets off dreaded diseases when it goes wrong. The molecule, and its messengers, had remained hidden away, beyond the reach of almost all drugs, unfixable when broken.

Things began to change after the DNA sequence (序列) for the entire human genome was laid out early in this century. Within the past several years, the ability to combine and specially design shorter sequences has shown scientists that the best material for reaching DNA is, well, DNA. Making up new genes to replace badly working ones, or to “silence” them, has produced 14 approved DNA-related drugs. DNA analysis has found out new aims, showing that although newborn babies in the U. S. are typically examined for between 30 and 60 genetic conditions right now, it is possible to examine nearly 1, 000 genes linked to childhood diseases that could be new treatment points.

But that same science has also created troubling problems: some of the gene tests for babies can raise false warnings, for example, and not every child with a disease-linked gene ends up getting that disease. DNA in medicine has great power, but there is still a long way to go.

【1】What does the underlined “it” refer to Paragraph 1?

A．The code.

B．The nerve

C．The cell.

D．The disease.

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A．New genes cannot replace the old ones.

B．14 new DNA-related drugs are under test.

C．The layout of DNA sequence makes a big difference in treatment.

D．New treatment points have been found for babies with diseases.

【3】What is the tone of the text?

A．Humorous.

B．Objective.

C．Casual

D．Negative.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．The DNA Drug Revolution.

B．The Creation of New Genes.

C．The Gene Tests for Babies

D．The Symptoms of Diseases.

30、I started training in tae kwon do (跆拳道) by accident. But in the first class, I learned something exciting—how to ________ someone grabbing your arm. I loved it, so I kept practicing and earning higher ranks.

At every rank, I found something ________, whether it was the kicks in the air or the increasingly complex patterns. But over time, “I can’t” ________ “How can I?” which then became “How will I?”

Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's, Chicago. 【1】 in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, 'The customer is always right, ' which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have 【2】 the phrase 'Only Shopping Days until Christmas'.

When he visited London on holiday in 1906, he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no 【3】 for their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges - a department store named after him at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team 【4】 an ambitious classical palace building with a wall of plate glass windows.

Opened in 1909, Selfridges 【5】 customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first 【6】 room and most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being【7】 instructed in the art of making a sale.

Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and 【8】 stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key 【9】 of the 20th century culture, and Chaplin 【10】 the growing trend for shopping in the -department store in his film The Floorwalker.
