第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
If you know something is bad for you, why can’t you just stop? About 70% of smokers say they would like to stop. Drug and alcohol abusers (滥用者) struggle to give up the bad habits that hurt their bodies and destroy families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy weight that we could lose if only we would eat right and exercise more. So why don’t we do it?
Some scientists have been searching for answers. They’ve studied what happens in our brains as habits form. They’ve found answers to why bad habits, once formed, are so difficult to kick. And they’re developing ways to help us make the
changes we’d like to make.
Habits are a normal part of life, and are often helpful. “ We wake up everymorning, shower, comb our hair or brush our teeth without being aware of it,” Volkow says. We can drive along familiar routes without really thinking about the directions. “When behaviors become automatic(不加思索的), it gives us an advantage, because the brain does not have to perform the action on purpose.” Volkow says. This frees up our brains to focus on different things.
One way to kick bad habits is to focus on your unhealthy habits. Then try your best to stop them. For example, habits can be linked in our minds to certain places and activities. You could develop a plan, say, to avoid walking down the hall where there’s a candy machine. Try to avoid going places where you’ve usually smoked. Stay away from friends and situations linked to problem drinking or drug use.
Another helpful way is to replace unhealthy habits with new, healthy ones. “It doesn’t work for everyone,” Volkow says. “But certain groups of patients who have a history of taking a drug can do something else like running and it helps them stay away from drugs.”
21. In the first paragragh the writer mainly wants to tell us ______.
A. we should stop something bad for us
B. most smokers would like to stop smoking
C. bad habits are really difficult to give up
D. eating right and exercise more can lose weight
22. Scientists studied what happened in our brains as habits form in order to______.
A. find answers to solve the problem B. find ways to form good habits
C. kick their own bad habits D. help us see how bad habits form
23. If you want to kick bad habits you’d better_______.
A. focus on them on purpose B. go to the places linked with them
C. do something linked with them D. ask your friends for help
24. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Breaking bad habits. B. Forming good habits.
C. Finding reasons for bad habits D. Replacing bad habits with good ones.
B
Earth Day has come and gone, but it’s a fact of daily life that 1.6 billion people around would have no electricity in their homes. Instead, most of them use wood, coal or even animal waste to heat and cook in their homes ,which also gives off greenhouse gases, causing indoor air pollution that kills 1.6million people a year, most of whom are children and women.
It’s not expected to improve much, and in Africa it’s becoming worse now. By 2030, when the Earth’s population will be likely to top 8billion, 1.3 billion people will still lack electricity. Of those, 700 million will be in Africa, and 490 million in South Asia.
Ghana, in West Africa, most of the northern half of the country lives without lights. As a result, three out of four Ghanans in the north are without electricity to refrigerate with and to cook with, to study with and to start businesses with. Like most others around the world in the same situation, these Ghanans use traditional fuels( wood, coal, animal waste) to meet their cooking needs.
What would electricity for everyone around the world cost? The International Energy Agency, which is made up of 28 member countries, figures it would run35 billion dollars a year from 2008 to 2030 to reach that.
The United Nations has been busy with the issue, organizing a meeting on
April 28 hosted by Secretary-General Ban Kimoon. ‘ Energy services are very important formeeting basic human needs, reducing poverty, creating and getting together wealth and keeping advances in social development,” He said in an announcement.
25. How many people still lack electricity in the world now?
A. 1.6 billion. B. 1.6 million C. 1.3 billion D. 700 million
26. Why do many children and women die of indoor air pollution?
A. Because they would rather heat and cook with traditional fuels than with electricity.
B. Because of no electricity they have to use traditional fuels for heating and cooking.
C. Because wood, coal or animal waste does great harm to their health.
D. Because there are too many greenhouse gases from factories.
27. The underlined word “that” probably refer to______.
A. electricity for everyone B. 35 billion dollars a year
C. traditional fuels D. 28 member countries
28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The United Nations is trying to solve the problem.
B. The basic human needs are reducing poverty.
C. Working together is a way to develop.
D. The basic needs for humans are energy services.

Have you ever noticed how much the number twelve is used? A ruler that is a foot long has twelve inches. A yardstick(尺码) has three times twelves inches, or thirty-six inches.
On a canlender you will see twelve months in each year. A clock face is numbered from one to twelve for the hours. The time span from noon to midnight is twelve hours; from midnight to noon there are twelve more hours. Each day is two times twelve, or twenty-four hours long.

It happened to me several years ago when I was with my parents and sister on 41 on a farm close to Medellin. We were in a car, and it was 2:00 in the morning. We came across a car 42
As is known to all, it is 43 in some places in Colombia to stop and help strangers because it can be risky (危险的);you can be 44 . Actually, I have heard of so many 45 in which people have been robbed just because they stopped and tried to help people who 46 to need help from the passers-by.
47 , we didn't know whether to stop or not ; but in the end , 48 , we decided to do it. They had really had a car accident and some of them were 49 . We took them to the hospital. They were really 50 , and we also felt very good about helping them.
I remember the next day when we 51 my grandfathers and uncles about that, they said we shouldn’t have 52 because it was too dangerous. They thought we were 53 because we were able to tell the 54 and still take a vacation on the farm. They 55 us never to do that again.

Dear fellow students,
As we all know, good health is so essential to our daily life and lays the foundation for our future development.
However, in modern times, many people don’t live a healthy lifestyle due to different reasons. In my opinion, we should have a healthy diet and play sports regularly to keep physically healthy. Besides, we should take a positive attitude towards people around us so that we can keep mentally healthy. Furthermore, I strongly advise that we should never sit too long in front of computers because it is bad for our health.
