1．Do you love running？It is a good exercise，yet many people find it boring．But what if making your morning jog a creative one？Like jumping from walls and over gaps，and ground rolls？Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way．It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide．
　　Yes，that's parkour，an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible，getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body．Parkour is considered an extreme sport．As its participants dash around a city，they may jump over fences，run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop．
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that．
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy（哲理） behind parkour． This is the same as life． You must determine your destination，go straight，and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life，to reach the destination successfully． A parkour lover said，"I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life，my way to do everything．"
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom． It can be done by anyone，at any time，anywhere in the world． It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence．
41．Which of the following is TRUE of parkour？A
A．It challenges human abilities．
B．It is a good but boring sport．
C．It needs special training．
D．It is a team sport．
42．．As its participants move around a city，C．
A．they can ask for help       
B．they may choose to escape
C．they should run to extremes 
D．they must learn to survive
43．．Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour？D
A．Sports and extremes．
B．Excitement and popularity．
C．Dreams and success．
D．Determination and freedom．
44．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．What parkour is and where can do it．
B．What parkour is and what it can bring us．
C．Why we do parkour and what we get from it．
D．When we can do parkour and how we do it well．

11．An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything，but when it comes to it，an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事實(shí)）behind the image，the product，service or person will fail eventually．
First of all，one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created，the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example，the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal（丑聞）showed that behind that image，it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image，the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect，the reality，behind the image has led to tile downfall of the word-famous accounting firm．
Similarly，personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases，making sure that only the best photographs are published，and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again，history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people，just as with products and services，image is certainly important，but without positive substance behind the image，failure is close．
To summarize，it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success，whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the"selling"of a person．But image is only half of the equation（等式）．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself--the person or product must deliver truth on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．
67．The down fall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due toB．
A．its previous images                 
B．its dishonesty in business
C．its bad management                
D．its poor service
68．Why did some famous people fall from grace？A
A．They failed to live up to their images．
B．Their images were not well built up．
C．They felt much pressure from the public．
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．
69．The structure of the passage isA．

70．The author tries to argue thatD．
A．image creates everything            
B．image is the key to success
C．truth is unlikely ever to be equaled    
D．truth and image are equally important．

16．Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy？
With the development of the society，people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days．They become more and more concerned about their health problem．Different people come up with different views：eating green food，doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently．As far as I am concerned，the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology（心理）．
According to some surveys，nowadays，most patients are not physically sick but mentally（精神上） ill．They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others，so they can't step out of the shadow of depression and sadness．They need to release their spirit to the nature．
Besides，if you have developed a good quality of psychology，you'll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society．Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency，which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise，will benefit you a lot．
As a poem says，youth is not a period of time； it's a state of mind．Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living．
Keep a good quality of mind，or keep a sense of humour，even if you are 80，and you'll never be old．
46．According to the passage，in the old days，what people cared most might beA．
A．food          B．exercising          C．clothing         D．health

6．Sleeping for less than six hours a night greatly increases the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke（中風(fēng)），a study has found．It is the stuff of nightmares for those whose busy work schedule or busy family life means getting up early and staying up late．Scientists claim that the modern tendency to delay going to bed in order to get through more of the items on the‘to do'list has serious health consequences．But take care．Those who have too much sleep are also more likely to suffer a heart attack．While the extra sleeping is unlikely to be the cause，long-term illnesses such as heart disease often make sufferers feel tired，so sleeping for longer than nine hours a night may be an early warning sign．
   Researchers found that those who slept for less than six hours were almost 50 per cent more likely to suffer a heart attack and 15 per cent more at risk of strokes．They believe that not having enough sleep disrupts the balance of two key hormones（激素），ghrelin（生長(zhǎng)素）and leptin（瘦素），which control the appetite．Poor sleepers tend to eat more and are more likely to be fatter，so are at greater risk of high blood pressure and heart disease，which lead to heart attacks and strokes．Experts recommend adults get at least six or seven hours'shut-eye a night to stay healthy．
   But as many as 60 per cent of us do not think we are sleeping enough，with a third suffering from sleeplessness．The researchers，from the University of Warwick，warned that trying to push too much into one day by going to bed late and getting up early could lead to serious illnesses later in life．They looked at the sleeping habits of almost 475，000 participants from 15 previous studies across eight countries，including the UK，the U．S．，Japan，Sweden and Germany．Their findings，published in the European Heart Journal，show that those who slept for less than six hours were 48 per cent more likely to develop or die from heart disease and 15 per cent more likely to develop or die from a stroke．Not having enough sleep decreases the levels of leptin in our blood，which means we do not feel as satisfied after eating．At the same time，it raises the levels of ghrelin，responsible for triggering（引起） our appetite，thus making us feel hungrier．
   The scientists believe that our‘work hard，play hard'society encourages us to sacrifice sleep and ignore our health．The trend for late nights and early mornings is actually a ticking time bomb for our health so you need to act now to reduce your risk of developing these life-threatening conditions．
50．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．Lack of sleep raises your risk of stroke or heart disease．
B．It raises the levels of ghrelin，thus making us feel hungrier．
C．Sleeping for longer than nine hours a night may be an early warning sign．
D．The scientists believe that our‘work hard，play hard'society encourages us  
to sacrifice sleep and ignore our health．
51．Which word do you think can take the place of"disrupts"in the second paragraph？
C
A．increases   B．destroys    C．a(chǎn)ffects   D．reduces
52．According to the passage，why don't we feel as satisfied after eating？D
A．Because not having enough sleep disrupts the balance of two key hormones，ghrelin and leptin，which control the appetite．
B．Because not having enough sleep decreases the levels of leptin in our blood．
C．Because not having enough sleep raises the levels of ghrelin，thus making us feel hungrier．
D．All above add up．
53．Which of the sentences is true according to the text？C
A．Researchers found that those who slept for less than six hours were almost 50 per cent more likely to suffer strokes and 15 per cent more at risk of a heart attack．
B．Those who have too much sleep aren't likely to suffer a heart attack．
C．But as many as 60 per cent of us do not think we are sleeping enough，with a third suffering from sleeplessness．
D．Trying to push too much into one day by going to bed early and getting up late could lead to serious illnesses in life
54．What does the writer suggest people should do in the passage？B
A．The writer thinks that we had better follow the trend for late nights and early mornings．
B．The writer advises adults get at least six or seven hours'shut-eye a night to stay healthy．
C．The writer doubts it a good idea to act now to reduce the risk of developing these life-threatening conditions．

13．US scientists have performed an important reversal（逆轉(zhuǎn)） of the ageing process in animal studies．They used a chemical to rejuvenate（使年輕） muscle in mice and said it was the equivalent（等同于） of transforming a 60-year-old's muscle to that of a 20-year-old-but muscle strength did not improve．Their study，in the journal Cell，identified an entirely new mechanism（原理） of ageing and then reversed it．Other researchers said it was an"exciting finding"．
Ageing is considered a one-way street，but now researchers at Harvard Medical School have shown that some aspects can be reversed．Their research focused on a chemical called NAD．Its levels naturally drop in all cells of the body with age．The team showed this damaged the function of the cell's in-built power-stations，leading to lower energy production and ageing．
Experiments showed that increasing NAD levels，by giving mice a chemical which they naturally change into NAD，could reverse the sands of time．One week of youth-medication in two-year-old mice meant their muscles became similar to those of a six-month-old．
Dr Ana Gomes，from the department of genetics at Harvard Medical School，said："We believe this is quite an important finding．"She argues muscle strength may return with a longer course of treatment．However，this could never be a cure-all for ageing．Other aspects such as shortening of telomeres or damage to DNA would not be reversed．
Dr Gomes told the BBC："Ageing is multi-factorial，it's not just one component（成分） we can fix，so it's hard to target the whole thing．I believe there is a lot of cross-talk in cells and energy is very important in a cell and likely to be a very big component of ageing that might cause some of the other things that happen with ageing．"
68．From paragraph 1 we learn thatD．
A．bones can be transformed
B．muscle strength can be transformed
C．color can be transformed
D．muscle can be transformed
69．From paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 we learn thatC
A．researchers think ageing is a one-way street．
B．NAD levels'dropping could make mice become younger．
C．increasing NAD levels could make mice become younger．
D．researchers think any aspect can be reversed．
70．Dr Gomes will agree thatB
A．we can target everything about ageing．
B．muscle strength may return over a longer course of treatment．
C．a(chǎn)geing could be cured．
D．energy is of little importance in a cell．
