    If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of out brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
    Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
    With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
    Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract(萎缩) with age.
    Contraction of front and side parts, as cells(细胞) die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
    Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction---using the head.
    The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
    【小题1】 The team of doctors wanted to find out ____.

    A．at what point people grow live longer.
    B．how to make people live longer
    C．the size of certain people’s brains.

    【小题2】Their research findings are based on ______.c
    A．an examination of farmers in northern Japan
    B．using computer technology
    C．examining the brain sizes of different people
    D．tests given a thousand old people
    【小题3】The doctor’s tests show that ______.
    A．our brains contract as we grow older
    B．one part of the brain does not contract
    C．sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
    D．contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country
    【小题4】 According to the article, _____ are growing mentally old earlier.
    A．engineersB．office clerksC．professorsD．researchers
    【小题5】The most possible conclusion of the article is that ____.
    A．most of us should take more exercise
    B．it’s better to live in the towns
    C．the brain contracts if it is not used
    D．the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old

    Across countryside, non-food crops are growing alongside wheat．Some are used in new alternatives to plastics and other materials, but others will simply be burned．
    Burning crops is becoming more popular because it is good for the planet．Doing so is also cheaper than burning fossil fuels．As more land is devoted to non-food crop production, the economics of crops for fuel are likely to become even more favorable．
    Humans have been burning such biomass—organic materials from plants or animals— since they discovered fire．But that burning fossil fuels could have catastrophic consequences has brought biomass back into fashion．
    Even allowing for emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide from fuel used in planting, harvesting, processing and transporting biomass fuel, replacing fossil fuel with biomass can typically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90 percent．
    Power stations around the world are experimenting with forms of biomass to add to their coal or oil, with encouraging results．Indeed, power companies could profit by turning to biomass, especially when the subsidies (补助) many governments offer for using renewable energy are taken into account．
    Farmers can benefit from growing biomass．In Europe, the reduction of subsidies for certain crops is exposing farmers to market forces．Instead of being paid for whatever they produce, farmers must seek a clear demand for their product．Many believe that the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels could be just such a driver．
    But while biomass offers a variety of potential alternatives, the world's infrastructure (基础设施） has developed around burning fossil fuels to such a stage that switching to biomass involves a change in conception that many companies have not accepted．
    Also, there are problems with using biomass．Although most coal-fired power stations could take a small amount of their fuel from biomass without significant adjustment, few are built to run on biomass alone．Burning some forms of biomass also causes environmental problems．Oils and waste can be smelly, while wood produces smoke unless burned properly．
    The supply chains for fossil fuels are set up well, but those for biomass are just the beginning. Sources of supply for biomass rely on farm production and can therefore be less reliable. They are necessarily limited and it wouldn't make sense to turn a very large amount of valuable agricultural land away from food crops．But as the world adjusts to the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, these problems may receive more attention．
    【小题1】What do we know about biomass?

    A．It is a useful way of burning crops．
    B．It is plant and animal matter used to provide power．
    C．It is a new alternative to be used widely．
    D．It is a popular approach to fighting against pollution．
    【小题2】What are the advantages of using biomass?
    a．It gives off less greenhouse gases．
    b．It helps farmers receive subsidies for what they produce．
    c．It has met the clear demand for energy．
    d．It has brought subsidies for some power companies．
    e．It is cheaper than burning fossil fuels．
    A．a, b, cB．b, c, dC．c, d, eD．a, d, e
    【小题3】For coal-fired power stations, ______．
    A．more effective ways to use biomass have been tried
    B．using renewable energy has become their daily task
    C．burning biomass alone would require considerable changes
    D．setting up dependable supply channels needs governments' support
    【小题4】What is the author's attitude towards biomass fuels?
    A．Defensive．B．Doubtful．C．Negative． D．Objective

    C
    John Steinbeck once said, “All Americans believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing (公开指责) mother – love or hating moonlight.”
    I can’t say that I’m the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was “The pearl” when I was in middle school, but I couldn’t agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. Whether I am on a boat in the middle of the Lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon (大海鲢) or catching rainbow trout (红鲭鱼) in the Shoshone River of Wyoming, fishing is my life.
    According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
    Though a beautiful picture to imagine fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the job gets too stressful.
    I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Mitchell. Although I didn’t understand what I doing. I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I’ve spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.
    After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss. Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19 – inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life – changing experience for me. He not only showed my how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.
    Since then, prime – time (黄金时间) season seems to take forever to arrive.
    Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.
    51．What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies that             .
    A．Americans are believed to be the offspring (后代) of fishermen
    B．it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing
    C．all Americans are expert at fishing
    D．those who dislike fishing would not love their mother
    52．The writer came to understand the real meaning of fishing            .
    A．when he was reading “The pearl” by John Steinbeck
    B．when he went fishing with his grandfather at Lake Mitchell
    C．after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama
    D．after he went fishing with his boss, Ric Horst on the Shoshone
    53．What can be inferred from the text?
    A．The author is at most 21 years old.
    B．The author regards fishing as a very important part in his life.
    C．The author agreed with John Steinbeck the most when he was in middle school.
    D．President Bush often goes fishing in public in order to collect idea for his job.
    54．According to the author,             .
    A．people can get to know VIPs when fishing.
    B．people can smooth away all the troubles by fishing
    C．Fishing is a way of communication
    D．Fishing is a way to make a living for most American people
    55．What is the purpose of the writing?
    A．To describe the writer’s experience and understanding of fishing.
    B．To explain the reason why so many Americans like fishing.
    C．To make others understand the industry of fishing.
    D．To express his opinions about fishing in different time of the year.

    It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves
    Must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderndss(荒野)
    For Killing Wolves
    In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds
    0f them forsport .However．1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the woIf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．
    A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for
    food．Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can’t find enough food，they die．
    If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(猎物)will disappear some
    day．And the wolves will．too．So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the
    ecology．If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also
    save some farm animals．
    In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the
    government to send biologists to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small woIf population．
    Against Killing Wolves
    If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous
    wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the“big bad woIf'＂will not disappear．
    But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．and they seldom travel in areas where there is a
    human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young．or the sick and
    injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the
    weak members had lived．And has always been a law of nature
    Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense!Researchers
    have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population from
    becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．
    The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used bv people．Even if
    wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．
    1．According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that_____________．
    A．there are too many wolves                  B．they kill large numbers deer
    C．they attack cows and chickens for food        D．they destroy the wilderness plant life
    2．Some people are against killing wolves because____________．
    A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildemess
    B．there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
    C．there are too many deer in the wilderness
    D．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
    3．According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals，____________．
    A．they never eat strong and healthy ones
    B．they always go against the law of nature
    C．they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
    D．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
    4．The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases____________．
    A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
    B．woIves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
    C．wolves wilI find enough food sources on famls
    D．people will leave the areas where wolves can live
