【題目】Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized countries.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.1

The scientists say that human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.2They are called“diseases of civilization”.Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.

The scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.3However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that today.

Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic (馴養(yǎng)的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors and we eat more sugar as well. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein (蛋白質(zhì)) and much less vitamin C.

5But the scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fat, salty and sweet food.

A. Stone Age people lived a simple life without any meat.

B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.

C. In that case, they would live a much healthier life.

D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.

E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.

F. People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.

G. Modern people used to suffer from“diseases of civilization”.

News reports warn us that the smog is expected to stay with us for a couple of months. Air quality is 10 times worse than the World Health Organization’s recommended levels. You may think that there is nothing you can do about the air you breathe【1】

Wear an N95 mask.

Surgical masks won’t do, my friends. You need a proper N95 mask. 【2】The purpose is to filter out the little particles (顆粒) in the air that can be very unhealthy if breathed in. It’s not attractive, but your health is more important than looking attractive.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Researchers around the world have been trying their hand at making better use of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy.Apart from this,studies are being carried out to harness(利用) usable wind energy produced by man-made technologies.

One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train,which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity.

According to Pradhan’s proposal,with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai,the largest city in India,at least 10,000 megawatts(兆瓦) of electricity could be harvested each day.

Building on this principle,designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device(裝置) called T-Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains.

T-Box can be placed within the railway tracks.It is half-buried underground between the concrete sleepers(水泥枕木),which does not disturb the normal train operating at all.According to Yanko,around 150 T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1,000-meter railway track.

A train running at a speed of 200 kph can produce winds blowing at 15 miles a second.Based on this calculation,150 T-Boxes can produce 2.6 KWH of electricity per day.The T-Box’s design won a silver medal in last year’s Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei,Taiwan Province.

Though the figures look impressive,it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasn’t taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance(維護(hù)) of the device.

We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues.If so,rail travel,one of the greenest forms of travel,will become greener and 【1】What can we learn about T-Box?

A.It will be fitted on the trains.

B.It is based on Pradhan’s idea.

C.It can turn electricity into light.

D.It was invented by an Indian scientist.

【2】How much electricity can be produced per day by T-Boxes along a railway track of 100km?

A.260 KWH. B.2.6 KWH.

C.150 KWH. D.1.5 KWH.

【3】It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that ______.

A.T-Box has proved to be effective in harvesting wind

B.the maintenance of T-Box will be costly

C.there is much to do about T-Box

D.T-Box will come into use soon

【4】According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train.

B.The T-Box’s design won a silver medal in Lite-On Awards last year.

C.Rail travel has become one of the energy-efficient technologies in the world.

D.The India harvests 10,000 megawatts of electricity each day on average.

【5】The passage is mainly written to _______.

A.encourage more people to travel by train

B.explain the advantages of electricity

C.tell readers how to save energy and money

D.introduce a new invention to readers

【題目】Over 40 years ago, a country music DJ convention (大會(huì)) was held every year in Nashville, Tennessee. Many country performers used to attend (參加) the convention to give their performances. Fans would go to Nashville hoping to see their favorite performers. In the end, so many fans began showing up in Nashville that a festival named Fan Fair was born.

The first Fan Fair was held in April 1972, in Nashville for four days. Some of country music's biggest stars attended. There were about fifty thousand fans. The first Fan Fair was so successful that planning began almost immediately for 1973. The date was changed to June, when the weather would be better. Over one hundred thousand fans attended the second Fan Fair.

Every year brought so many performers and fans to Fan Fair that, in 1982, it was moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Fan Fair stayed at the fairgrounds for another nineteen years.

There was always the unexpected during the festival. In 1974, former Beatle Paul McCartney attended. In 1992, more than six hundred reporters from Europe, Asia, and South America went to cover the appearance of a popular star, Billy Ray Cyrus, who had introduced a new country line dance. In 1996, Garth Brooks, who made a surprise appearance, signed autographs (簽名) for 23 hours.

In 2001, Fan Fair returned to downtown Nashville as the world's biggest country music festival. Now, over one hundred and twenty-five thousand country music fans go to Nashville every June.
