分析 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了伦敦市大家最喜欢去旅游的一个城市.而且还提到了关于伦敦这个城市的优点和缺点.一方面,在伦敦的博物馆都是免费的,而且那里的出租车也非常地道,而且还有世界各地的美食.但是另一方面,伦敦的公共交通和服务系统也不太好,而且酒店也很贵,酒水总会供不应求.

解答 CDD
41.C 推理判断题.根据倒数第三行Rain.Still in the number one complaint可知雨仍然是人们担心的第一个问题,由此可判断游客们抱怨得最多的就是雨,故选 C. 
42.D 推理判断题.根据作后一行Drinking hours.Alcohol(酒) is in short supply after 11 pm even in"24-hour cities"可知就算在昼夜不分的城市里面在下午十一点以后酒都会供应不足,由此可判断 A,B,C均不符合题意,故选 D. 
43.D 推理判断题.根据第三行Free museums.No charge for good collections of art works可知博物馆针对游客是免费的,所以 A不正确;根据Not only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood,Alexander McQueen可知在伦敦地摊货和高品牌的衣服都被喜爱着,所以 B不正确;根据Choice of food.Visitors can find food from every corner of the world可知在那里有全世界各个地方的食物,所以 C不正确,故选 D.

8.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environmental-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environmental-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be"green gyms".They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it's free.
33.The author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following EXCEPT thatD.
A.Golf wastes large areas of countryside
B.Golf runs out of much water
C.Keeping golf court in good condition needs too much energy
D.Golf is bad for people's health

A.swimming in the pool            
B.hiking in the hills
C.playing basketball in the gym                     
D.motor racing in the desert
35.The reason why the author uses power walking as an example mainly is thatC.
A.it improves our health                            
B.it is an outdoor sport
C.it uses fewer resources                           
D.it is recommended by experts
36.The passage is developed mainly byB.

6.Everyone is familiar with white fat,which serves as an energy warehouse.Many mammals also have brown fat,which has the unique ability to produce heat.
Brown fat is sometimes mistaken for a type of gland (腺),which it resembles more than white fat.It varies in color from dark red to tan.When the animal is exposed to a cold environment,the color darkens.In contrast to white fat,brown fat has numerous nerves which provide sympathetic stimulation (刺激) to the fat cells.
Brown fat is most noticeable in newborn animals,wrapped round the central organs to keep them warm.In humaninfantsit occupies up to 5% of body weight,then declines gradually.Certain quantities of brown fat can be discovered in adult humans,especially when they are exposed to cold temperatures.Most of brown fat in adults is located in the lower neck.
Exposure to cold leads to sympathetic stimulation of brown fat cell.As in white fat,sympathetic stimulation promotes hydrolysis (水解) of triglyceride (甘油三酸脂),with release of fatty acids.In contrast to other cells,including white fat cells,brown fat cells express UCP1,which gives the cell's mitochondria (线粒体) an ability to produce heat rather than ATP.Within brown fat cells,most fatty acids are immediately combined with oxygen in mitochondria and a large amount of heat is produced.
There is only about 50g of brown fat in the neck region and it switches on and off throughout the day as it's exposed to different temperatures or if you exercise or eat.But this capacity is much greater in young children compared with adolescents and adults.
The challenge is now to use the knowledge to find out what might switch on brown fat.If it is switched on,we can benefit from it.Brown fat produces lots of heat by burning calories.Unlike white fat,brown fat does not expand our ageing waistlines.And that's why the race is on to find out more about brown fat,and how humans could use it to our advantage,though we would waste energy unnecessarily,and we would sweat a lot and forever be opening windows.
59.We can learn from the passage that brown fatA.
A.becomes less in amount with age      
B.proves less active in low temperatures
C.exists nowhere but in the lower neck   
D.has nothing in common with white fat
60.The underlined word"infants"in Paragraph 3means"D".
A.cells    
B.organs    
C.bodies    
D.babies
61.We take special interest in brown fat mainly because it helps usD.
A.save energy         
B.develop power      
C.keep warm        
D.keep our figure.

13.Researchers have studied the placebo(安慰剂) effects for many years.But there are still many unanswered questions.Why is a placebo effective?Mostly,researchers have looked at the placebo effects on physical health.However,a research team in Sweden has produced some interesting findings about the emotional effects of placebos.
The team performed a series of experiments.First the researchers showed a group of people unpleasant pictures,like pictures of dead bodies.The people rated(划分等级) how they felt after seeing the pictures.They gave the highest number to the pictures that gave them the worst feelings.The researchers then gave the people a calming drug.They told the people that the calming drug would decrease the unpleasant feelings from the pictures.When the team showed the pictures again,the people said that they felt much calmer.
The following day,the researchers gave the people unpleasant pictures to look at again.Then,they gave them drugs.However,this time they gave them a placebo instead of the calming drug.The placebo was nothing but salt and water.But the people did not know this.
After taking the placebo,the people's ratings still changed.Their unpleasant feelings decreased by almost 30%.It seemed that taking the placebo made them feel calmer.In the experiment,the scientists also used special equipment to look at their brains.The results showed that the brains'emotional centers were calmer after the people took the placebo.
Dr Predrag Petrovic managed the experiment.He said,"The placebo changes what we expect.When we expect that something unpleasant should become less unpleasant,it really does."
32.What was special about the research carried out by the Swedish researchers?D
A.It was about the placebo effects on physical health.
B.It tested the effects of placebos through experiments.
C.It answered many questions about placebo effects.
D.It explored the emotional effects of placebo.
33.When the people took the placebo,they probably thoughtC.
A.they were cheated
B.they got salt and water
C.they got calming drugs again    
D.they took more effective drugs.
34.Why did the researchers look at the people's brains?B
A.To find out why they felt uncomfortable.
B.To see the change in emotional centers.
C.To see how emotional centers were formed.
D.To see the effects of unpleasant pictures on brains.
35.What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?C
A.Placebos have no emotional effects.
B.It's easier to decrease emotional pain.
C.Placebos may decrease emotional pain
D.It's difficult to judge emotional pain.

1.One day,a poor man,who had only one piece of bread to eat,was walking past a restaurant.There was a large pot of soup on the table.The poor man held his bread over the soup,so the steam from the soup went into the bread,and gave it a good smell.Then he ate the bread.
