    A new factory that turns used wine bottles into green sand could revolutionize the recycling industry and help to filter（过滤）the nation's drinking water.
    For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried（开采）at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been used to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impurities—but this may no longer be necessary.
    The green sand has already been successfully tested by water companies and is being used in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean.
    Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar),a company based in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made.
    The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycles only 750 000 tones of it.
    Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the company has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted.
    "The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reuse and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, "he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles come from to cut down on transport.
    The factory will be completed this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. Once it is providing a "regular" product, the government's drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general use by water companies.
    小题1:It may no longer be necessary to use high-grade white sand to keep water clean because_____.
    A．there is no need to keep water clean
    B．A new factory has been set up
    C．The green sand has been used to keep the water clean
    D．White sand is being use up
    小题2:According to the passage ,the new idea can do the following except_____.
    A．avoiding using up increasingly scarce sand
    B．avoiding further quarrying of white sand
    C．solving the crisis in the recycling industry
    D．cutting down the cost on transport
    小题3:Tests show that ______ in keeping the water clean.
    A．AFM is more efficient than white sand
    B．AFM is more efficient than glass
    C．glass is more efficient than AFM
    D．white sand is more efficient than green sand
    小题4:The underlined word "Backed" in the third paragraph can best be replaced by"_____".
    A．AllowedB．Opposed
    C．SupportedD．Forbidden
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Revolution in the Recycling for the Industry.
    B．Modern Technology an New Markets.
    C．Revolution in Environmental Protection.
    D．Unlocking the Benefits of Green Sand.

    Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles (肌肉) get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream.
    Although the cat doesn’t 36  this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will 37 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
       38 , when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many 39  changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves 40  run.

Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then 43  later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always 44  to express your feelings freely.
    Does this mean that it’s smarter always to 45  our feelings? No! If you 46  feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays47  . Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually be48  for your health.
    Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, don’t just 49  . It’s like you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but 50  you’d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, you’d  51  little fruit flies hovering (盘旋) all over them. They’d be rotten.
    You can try to treat emotions 52  they were bananas in the cupboard. You can 53  they don’t exist, but they’ll still be 54  . And at last you’ll have to 55  them, just like those bananas.

    If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
    When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on(依靠) the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread(主线) of the story. In all probability(可能) you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
    小题1:To read for pleasure means _____________.
    A．to take pleasure in reading
    B．to be satisfied in reading book
    C．to read such books as novels, plays, travel books, etc
    D．to go on with reading pleasantly
    小题2:The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “_________”.
    A．to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the book
    B．to try to catch the meaning of every word in the book
    C．to try to understand all the writer is going to tell you
    D．to try to understand the main idea of the book
    小题3:、When you meet new words in reading such kinds of books, you’d better _________.
    A．stop and look them up in a dictionaryB．stop and think them over
    C．try to guess their meanings from the context D．have none of them
    小题4:According to the passage the best way to read novels, plays and travel books is _____.
    A．to read very slowlyB．to read quickly and not too carefully
    C．to read very carefullyD．to read very seriously
    小题5:The best title for this passage is “___________”.
    A．Read for PleasureB．Get on with the Books
    C．Reading SkillsD．The Importance of Reading

    A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.
    Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.
    Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.
    University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.
    Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.
    The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.
    The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
    Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
    The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.
    小题1: What is true about the Framingham Study?
    A．It was only conducted in 1948.B．It involves more than 12,000 participants.
    C．It was led by John CacioppoD．It showed that any behavior could spread.
    小题2: From the passage, we can learn that            .
    A．the habit of littering doesn’t spread
    B．a lonely person won’t have friends
    C．everyone may be affected by others’ loneliness
    D．lonely people don’t know the cause of their loneliness
    小题3: Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true?
    A．The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends.
    B．No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives.
    C．Women are more likely to be affected than men.
    D．Brothers are more easily affected than neighbors.
    小题4: If you make 10 more friends in a year, the days of your feeling loneliness will be reduced by            .
    A．48 daysB．25 daysC．20 daysD．15 days
    小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A. Actions should be taken to help lonely people.  B. People feel lonely for many reasons.
    C. Ways to fight against loneliness.             D. Lonely people can affect others.

    Eat to Excel
    How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Premier League football club Aston Villa are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.
    How fit is a footballer?
    Could you run ten kilometers in 90 minutes? A professional footballer can. Footballers have to be strong, quick, skillful and creative in their moves. Every Premier League club makes sure it has a good coaching scheme and a well-planned fitness program. They also ensure that players have the practice and training that will prepare them for matches. What else do you think clubs pay special attention to? A good stadium? Anything else? What about the food they eat?
    Eating the right thing
    A good diet is a fundamental part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill’s sport and health experts have chosen a secret weapon --- organic food (food grown without chemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players and said: “I chose to switch to organic food for Aston Villa because I’ve read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.” He believes that the best way to get these is to eat the very best fresh food.
    What to eat after the match
    Head chef at Aston Villa, lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match. He says: “Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game. There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength, so I hand out meals on the coach on the way home. If we can make one per cent difference to the players by using organic food, then it is worth it.”
    Teaching healthy eating
    Everyone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground. But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food. As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to come and learn how to cook with the help of the Villa head chef. Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day. “The kitchen promotes healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.” he said.
    A final word from the kitchen
    Head chef Ian says: “Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest option.” Do you watch your diet? If you do and you keep yourself fit, you can be a winner!
    小题1:Every Premier League Club provides footballers with ______________.
    A．a good coach
    B．a fitness center
    C．proper practice and training
    D．a delicious diet
    小题2:According to Jim Henry, ___________________.
    A．he believes the studies he has read about organic food
    B．he will only eat organic food with his players
    C．he thinks food is especially important after a game
    D．he chose organic food as a secret weapon for footballers
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that ___________________.
    A．people can make one percent difference to players by using organic food
    B．only a few footballers pay attention to the healthy eating
    C．footballers in Aston Villa usually eat on their way to the match
    D．footballers in Aston Villa usually eat some food within an hour after a match.
    小题4:Why has Aston Villa invited children from local schools?
    A．Because they want to teach kids how to cook delicious food.
    B．Because they want to teach kids to play football.
    C．Because they are fond of the kids in the community.
    D．Because they intend to promote healthy eating.
