【题目】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(球场) 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 environment-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 environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物) 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.
【1】Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?
A. Motor racing in the desert.
B. Cycling around a lake.
C. Playing basketball in a gym
D. Swimming in a sports center.
【2】The author uses power walking as an example mainly because_________.
A. it is an outdoor sport
B. it improves our health
C. it uses fewer resources
D. it is recommended by experts

A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D. It causes water shortages around the world.
【4】The author writes the passage to ________.
A. show us the function of major sports
B. discuss the major influence of popular sports
C. encourage us to go in for green sports

【2】C
【3】B
【4】C
【解析】在文章中简述了一些资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫,也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walk,目的是鼓励我们做绿色运动。
【1】推理判断题。根据作者在最后一段表述的观点,无论做什么运动,最终的目标是“绿色健身房”, 以及句子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.(绿色健身的人在户外,在乡村,或在其他开阔的空间运动,对你来说开始运动没有特别的要求,最重要的是,它是免费的。)可推断,B项(沿湖骑车)是作者赞同的运动形式。故选B。
【2】推理判断题。根据文章第三段There are many environment-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.可知,作者之所以用power walking作例子是因为这是一项耗费资源很少的运动,故C正确。
【3】细节理解题。根据文章第二段Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemical and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition.可知,高尔夫运动耗费的资源很多。故B正确。
【4】推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章简述了一些对资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫,也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walking,最后作者强调了“绿色健身房”的概念,故文章的主旨就是为了让我们绿色运动,故C正确。

【题目】Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t.. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
【1】Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______
A. for you to make more and more new friends
B. to begin your business talks
C. to get the conversation going smoothly
D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
【2】After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to _______.
A. make clear what kind of person he is B. listen to his reply attentively
C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer D. go on asking him more questions
【3】Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.
A. are good at making any topic interesting
B. never talk too much or too little
C. always speak in a gentle way
D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
【4】If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.
A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend
B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake
D. it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

【题目】Dear Editor,
I am writing tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary of middle school students to have mobile phones. Most students think this is more convenient for them to keep in the touch with their parents and classmates. And what’s much, it’s a fashion. However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control them. It is a waste of time for students to play games and sending messages on their mobile phones. Therefore, it is easy to make students contact with each other. In my opinion, following the fashion was understandable. But as middle school student, we should put all our energy into our study.
Yours truly,
Mary
