【題目】When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system (循環(huán)系統(tǒng)) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all year round. They find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. “When I go into water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.”

【1】The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements EXCEPT that .

A. they must reach the age of 60

B. they should be easy to make friends with

C. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

D. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

【2】According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that .

A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

【3】The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for .

A. they can remain young

B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter

C. they find it enjoyable and interesting

D. they might meet fewer troubles in life

【答案】fun and relaxing.C選項they find it enjoyable and interesting

【解析】 本文屬于興趣與健康類文章。本文主要講述紐約的北極熊俱樂部成員經(jīng)常在冬天游泳。對于冬泳，人們的看法不同，但對于喜歡冬泳的人來說，冬泳是一種享受和樂趣。

【1】A

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后部分可知，北極熊俱樂部中的紐約人大約是60歲，這不是條件，故A是錯誤的。根據(jù)“Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.” 成員必須滿足兩個要求。首先，他們必須與小組中的其他人和睦相處。這是非常重要的，因為俱樂部里有很多不同類型的人。北極熊俱樂部成員第也必須同意從十一月到二月至少每月兩次在戶外游泳。分析可知，兩個條件之一必須與其他成員友好相處，即B項與之相符合。第二個條件在11--2月四個月中每月兩次的戶外游泳，即是四個月共8次，C及D與之相符。故A是犯錯的。

【2】B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段前兩句內(nèi)容：.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors（醫(yī)生們不同意冬泳的醫(yī)療效果。有些人擔心身體溫度下降到最后心臟停止跳動的危險）。分析這部分可知冷水游泳（比夏季）更容易導致心臟病發(fā)作。故選B。

【3】C

My friend Tony and I always walk home together after school. Last Friday on our way to home, we heard a loud shout behind us. When we looked around to see what had happened, we found a woman lied on the ground, bleeding. We soon realized that she had knocked down by the car in front of him. We hurried to help her, and a man came over and tried to prevent us from getting closer to the wounded woman. We got very angrily with the man. How could he stopped us from helping a dying woman? The man asked us to turn around and we were surprised to see a man who were carrying a video camera on his shoulders. In fact, they were just shooting a film!

How an interesting experience!

【題目】Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.

But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?

A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes.

C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed.

【2】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.

A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling

C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.

C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.

D. Other products are better packaged than food.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.

B. Needless material is mostly recycled.

C. People like collecting recyclable waste.

D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.

【題目】Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.

I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.

【1】Why did Delta give the author's family credits?

A. They had early bookings. B. They took a later flight.

C. Their flight had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled.

【2】What can we learn about the author?

A. She is interested in cheap products. B. She seldom makes a compromise（折衷）.

C. She is very strict with her children. D. She rarely misses a good deal.

【3】What does the author do?

A. She's a teacher. B. She's a housewife.

C. She's a businesswoman. D. She's a media person.

【4】What does the author want to tell us?

A. How to spend money wisely. B. How to reserve airline seats.

C. How to expose bad tricks. D. How to make a business deal.

The other day, some of my classmates and I took a bicycle trip along the “Ren Min Road”, where was specially built for people to relax ourselves. The scenery along the road was fascinating, with trees, flowers, hills and lakes on both side. We stopped by a lake for a rest, where a good many of people were playing happily. But something unpleasant catch our attention. There was rubbish here or there, and there were many plastic bags and bottles floated on the surface of the lake. Such beautiful place was so serious polluted. What a shame! In the end, we couldn’t help collecting the rubbish after we left.
