第一节:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文。从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中.选出最佳选项。
A
Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play
a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for
you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating
, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-
and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lam
ps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate m
eals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yell
ow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time
to repaint , go blue.
Don’t forget the clock-
or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than t
hose who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least
30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn
on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent mor
e when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-
第 2 页 共 14 页
inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent.
And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart dis
ease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you brea
the.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk o
f heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风
)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that peopl
e exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within
days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even
air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好)quality
and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of ex
posure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certain
ly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is im
portant to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyl
e choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air qualit
y but could also become necessary to protect public health.
9.The text mainly discusses the relationship between .
A. heart problems and exercising B. heart problems and fatty food
C. heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and air quality
10.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. extremely high B. relatively low
C. extremely low D. relatively high
11. What can we learn from the text?
第 5 页 共 14 页
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,
C. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
12.. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to .
A. persuade B. inform C. describe D. entertain
D
Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict
what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected , When alcohol is consu
med, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药),damaging eyesight, judgment an
d co-
ordination (协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even belo
w the drink driving link , driving well be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.
Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with
fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it u
p with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is :
● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood ;or
● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath ;or
● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected
of drink driving will be tested.

Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a
maximum of HK﹩25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-
offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applices to failing to provide speciments(样本) far breath, blood or urine test
s without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offebce.Be a responsible,driver,think before you drink. For the safety of y
ourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

Four Goals for Perfect Life
Healthy and Fit
第 7 页 共 14 页
The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. __16__ Today, with the incredible advances
in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan(寿命), is largely determined by
design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live
longer and better than people who have poor health habits.
17
The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships with the people we
like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determi
ned by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area of your life. How well you get al
ong with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more impact on the quality of your
life than perhaps any other factor.
Do What You Love
18 You want to be able to get and keep the job you want,to get paid more and promoted faste
r. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you d
o.
__19__
The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. __20__ You want to
be completely free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without usin
g the price listings to determine what you want to eat.
A.Money is the most important for we can't go without it.
B.You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worr
y about money again.
C.We don't want to get the job that we aren't well paid and don't promote faster.
D.Achieve Financial Independence
第 8 页 共 14 页
E.Excellent Relationships
F.We all want to be healthy and fit,to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness.
G.The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy,to do it well,and to be well paid for it.

Have a healthy lifestyle
As we all know, health is very important. Only when we are healthy can we study well and enjoy life.
However, many teenagers don't pay any attention to their health, especially during the holiday. And
they spend too much time watching TV, playing games and chatting on the Internet all night, which is
bad for their health. First, this may make them get near-sighted. Besides, their bodies become much
weaker. Thirdly, they will lose the chance to communicate with others face to face as they never go out,
which may have a bad effect on their mental health.
In my opinion, they should spend less time in front of the TV or the computer, go out to take some
exercises, play some sports and visit some friends and have a healthy lifestyle.
