第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30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
Lindha was a student at Kansas State University. She is here to tell us about her time in Kansas in the city of Manhattan. .
What were the best things about it?
Manhattan has a great university feel to it. I loved going to the football games. We would spend the whole day tailgaying (开车尾派对) outside the stadium,drinking beer and having a big barbecue.
What do you think of the people there?
People from Kansas are so friendly. However,I'd say that many Kansans are very sheltered and don，t pay much attention to life outside the US. But as the grandma of my Kansan friend might say,re still sweet as pie."
What wjere the worst things about being there?
It's very difficult to get around Kansas without a car. Everything's so spread out and there isn’t really a public transportation system.
What was the funniest thing that happened while you were there?
I remember one trip I took with my friend to her grandparents’ house. They had horses and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. I had never ridden a horse before but I decided to have a try. I hopped (跳上) on and everything was fine for a minute. But then the horse went crazy. It started bucking(猛然弯背跃起) and making these crazy noises. I thought I was going to die. My friend eventually calmed the horse down but not before I had destroyed an entire section of the fence. I thought they would be mad but they were just in shock — they couldn，t believe I had stayed on the horse for that long.
Did you have any other problems?
I'm Swedish,but my English is pretty good because my dad's English. But it took a little while to get used to the accent. The people from the cities don，t have a strong accent,but the people from the country are hard to understand sometimes. You also have to be careful with the weather. In the winter it was absolutely freezing,and during the summer it was so hot I thought I might die. Of course,they have heating and air conditioning everywhere.
21. What's Lindha's impression about people in Kansas?
A. They are kind but unhappy.

B
We all know donating blood provides a vital lifeline to those in need,but a growing body of research suggests that it could have health benefits for the donor too.
Findings have shown that donating blood reduces the risk of heart attacks and even cancer.
It even bums quite a bit of energy — 650 calories(卡路里) for every pint (568 ml) given.
The news could come as a promotion (宣传) of British blood banks which use an average of 7 ,000units of blood every day.
It is thought that the benefits arise from- lowering high iron levels.
Iron affects how thick and sticky the blood is. High iron levels cause the blood to be thicker.
Raised iron levels also keep blood from flowing smoothly.
Because donating blood removes some of its iron,it may therefore have a protective benefit if done on a consistent basis by helping thin the blood.
According to a study from the Journal of the American Medical Association,researchers found that those aged 43 to 61 had fewer heart attacks when they donated blood every six months.
A study of 2 ,682 men from Finland found they had an 88 percent reduced risk of heart attacks than those who didn，t donate,reported Medical Daily.
Likewise,a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute also links iron to an increased cancer risk.
The four-and-a-half-year study involving 1,200 people found those who made blood donations twice a year had a lower risk of cancer and death than those who didn’t.
However,these benefits depend on making donations on a regular basis,rather than once in a while.
Another side effect of donating blood is that it can bum a large number of calories too .
The University of California in San Diego says that for every one pint of blood donated,650 calories are burned as the body must fill itself up.
Although this seems to be an attractive effort-free way to lose weight,the NHS Blood and Transplant centre still encourages people to donate for the benefit of others first,rather than for themselves.
6. How can giving blood prevent heart disease?
A. By keeping blood from flowing fast.
B. By increasing blood's thickness.
C. By reducing iron in the blood.
D. By helping iron work better.
7. What is the healthiest way to donate blood?
A. Give blood regularly.
B. Give blood every six months.
C. Make donations in middle age.
D. Donate a small amount each time.
8. The author mentions the three studies to.
A. prove the serious harm of cancer
B. solve the problems of giving blood
C. explain the reasons for heart disease
D. show the benefits of blood donations
9. According to the NHS Blood and Transplant centre,donating blood .
A. is an attractive way to lose weight
B. should be based on selflessness
C. involves some degree of risk
D. may bum too many calories
10. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Blood donation is vital to the receiver
B. Giving blood is good for your health
C. Donating blood helps prevent heart attacks
D. Giving blood has proven to be completely safe
