【題目】 As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease — especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.

The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”. In this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health, they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.

【1】Today’s medical care is placing more stress on ________.

A.keeping people in a healthy physical condition

B.monitoring patients’ body functions

C.removing people’s bad living habits

D.ensuring people’s psychological well-being

【2】According to the passage, the true meaning of the underlined word “wellness” is for people ________.

A.to best satisfy their body’s special needs

B.to strive to maintain the best possible health

C.to meet the strictest standards of bodily health

D.to keep a proper balance between work and leisure

【3】According to what the author advocates (主張), which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?

A.People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.

B.People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.

C.People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.

D.People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.

【題目】 If you know a bottle of water has been recycled from urine (尿液), will you drink it? Chinese astronauts have done so.

China National Space Administration(CNSA)says it uses a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater. The machine will recycle everything from sweat, the water for washing hands, shower water, water used for brushing teeth, and even urine, to make drinking water.

It saves CNSA millions of YMB each year. At present, each CNSA astronaut uses about 4.4 liters of water every day. It costs about ￥150 million a year to transport water up to space.

The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttles or rockets. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to more.

The recycling system was brought up to the space station last August by space shuttles. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in CNSA center that worked on the system.

“This is something that has been the stuff of science work,” astronaut Chen Dong said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is well worth trying.”

Is the water clean? Scientists say the wastewater will go through a very complicated (復(fù)雜的) process. For example, different chemicals will be put in the wastewater; the water will be heated to 130C to get rid of bacteria. The recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap, scientists say.

【1】What can the water recycled from urine be used for?

A.Drinking.

B.Washing hands.

C.Brushing teeth.

D.Taking a bath.

【2】Why is a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater needed on space stations?

A.To get astronauts to keep healthy.

B.To help astronauts do experiments.

C.To provide astronauts a basic living condition.

D.To save the cost of transporting water up to space.

【3】Scientists get rid of bacteria in the wastewater by ________.

A.recycling

B.freezing

C.heating

D.collecting

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.Water recycled from urine tastes good.

B.How to recycle the wastewater on space.

C.New technology is used in the Chinese space station.

D.CNSA uses a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater for astronaut stations.

【題目】 Hi, I’m Neil Harbisso. I come from a place where the sky is always grey, where flowers are always grey, and where television is still in black and white.

I actually come from a world where color doesn’t exist. I was born with achromatopsia. I was born completely color-blind. So I’ve never seen color, and don’t know what it looks like. But since the age of 21, I can hear color thanks to a magic electronic eye called “eyeborg”: a color sensor between my eyes connected to a chip(芯片) installed at the back of my head that transforms color frequencies into sound frequencies that I hear through my bone.

I’ve had the electronic eye permanently attached to my head and I’ve been listening to colors nonstop since 2004. So I find it completely normal now to hear colors all the time.

Since I started to hear color, my life has changed significantly. Art galleries have become concert halls. I can hear a Picasso. And supermarkets have become like night clubs. I love how they sound.

My sense of beauty has changed. Someone might look very beautiful but sound terrible, and someone might sound very harmonious but look awful. So I find it really exciting to create sound portraits(畫像) of people. Instead of drawing the shape of someone’s face I write down the different notes I hear when I look at them, and then I send them an mp3 of their face. Each face sounds different. I can even give face concerts now, concerts where I play the audience’s faces. The good thing about doing this is that if the concert doesn’t sound good, it’s their fault.

I also found out that things I thought were colorless are not colorless at all. Cities are not grey. Lisbon is yellow turquoise(寶石綠); London is very golden red…and humans are not black and white. Human skins range from light shades of orange to very dark shades of orange. We are all orange.

If we extend our senses, we will consequently extend our knowledge.

【1】We can infer from the article that people with achromatopsia ____________.

A.suffer from blindness

B.have a good sense of colors

C.are not able to see colors

D.like to go to concert halls and supermarkets

【2】What does the author mean by saying “Art galleries have become concert halls”?

A.Art galleries have been changed into various sounds.

B.Works at the art galleries are created by great musicians.

C.Art galleries are filled with noisy people.

D.The author now likes art galleries as much as concert halls.

【3】Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A.Neil developed a rare disease in his childhood.

B.The eyeborg produces sounds based on shades of colors.

C.Neil will use the eyeborg for the rest of his life.

D.In Neil’s mind, all people are orange.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Eyeborg – a real life saver.B.I listen to color.

C.Sense the world.D.Art galleries turned into concert halls.
