    When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.

    One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

    Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

    Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

    1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

    A. Staying on the farm

    B. Moving to the countryside

    C. Leaving home for the city

    D. Running away from the school

    2.Which of the following is true about the writer?

    A. He is very old now.

    B. He is in good health.

    C. He prefers driving a car.

    D. He lives in the city now.

    3.In the passage, the writer tries to _______.

    A. express his opinions about way of life

    B. describe his life in the countryside

    C. show an interest in the outside world

    D. persuade the reader to live in the city

    4.How is the passage mainly developed?

    A. By inferring

    B. By comparing

    C. By listing examples

    D. By giving explanations

    The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates．They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.

    After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001．Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands．The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep．Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site．Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea．Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent (月状的) structure．This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.

    The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leaves coming off the trunk．The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves．It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.

    The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre．Six marinas (小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts (桩柱) in the water.

    The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris．It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs．These will be open to both residents and tourists.

    More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah．They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.

    Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world．They will also maintain Dubai’s status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.

    1.According to the passage, all the following are right EXCEPT___________.

    A． Some Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the sea.

    B． The islands are being built in the shallow water of the sea.

    C． All the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were sold.

    D． The World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeriah.

    2.The underlined word “facilitates” in the second paragraph probably means___________.

    A． holds back B． makes easier

    C． slows down D． leads to

    3.What is the passage written for?

    A． To introduce the wonderful artificial islands.

    B． To show how to build artificial islands.

    C． To offer a travel service for tourists.

    D． To prove the Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world.

    “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

    “Two full inches in the first three days!”

    These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper radio and television ads, promising good shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.

    Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

    To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.

    One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that was dangerous to health and life.

    Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.

    1.It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are_____.

    A. objective B. costly

    C. unbelievable D. illegal

    2.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as______.

    A. a product which was designed to produce electricity

    B. a successful advertisement of a beauty product

    C. an example of a quality beauty product

    D. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

    3.The author intends to______.

    A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promise

    B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

    C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

    D. introduce the organization of FDA

    4.Which of the following is true according to the text?

    A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.

    B. The promoters usually just care about profits.

    C. New products are more likely to be questionable.

    D. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.

He suggests living a low carbon life, which means using less energy in our daily life so that we can help reducing carbon dioxide in the air.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    A Good Night’s Sleep

    When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed? 1. An adequate amount of sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!

    A good night’s sleep doesn’t just happen. You need to prepare for it. 2. First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep, don’t oversleep the next morning. Get up at your regular time. Sleeping late for just a couples of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don’t want that if you have a set daily schedule.

    Also, avoid big meals at night. 3. Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.

    Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褪黑色素) that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes. 4. So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don’t read from a backlit electronic equipment like an IPad. Some scientists think that the light from those stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.

    Maybe you can’t sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night. 5. Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you feel asleep again. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day. Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.

    After a good night’s sleep, you’ll be able to face a new day.

    A. Don’t just lie in bed.

    B. You can have three meals a day.

    C. Or do you roll over and complain?

    D. Various experts have given tips to help.

    E. Your TV and computers might affect your sleep.

    F. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime.

    G. Eating heavy, rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake.
