9．For pet owners，the hundreds of pet food recalls taking place each year has raised a lot of alarm．"Most people are caring pet owners，and they want to do what helps protect their pet，"explains Will Post，founder and CEO，Hound & Gatos Pet Foods Corporation．"Yet the problem is that most are not sure what that means and how to go about it．The more they learn about pet food，the better able they will be to make an informed decision that will keep their pet healthier and safer．"
Here are several tips that consumers may want to keep in mind when it comes to choosing a pet food that will help reduce the risks．
Get to know the company．Most people may know a company name simply because they spend millions on advertising．But that doesn't mean they know much about the company or their morals．Research companies to find one that offers high standards，quality products，and great customer service．
Ask questions．Don't be afraid to get in touch with a pet food company and ask them where something was made，where ingredients（原料） came from，or any other questions．They should have no problem answering questions about their products，or with being able to provide proof of their quality standards．
Read reviews．Do some searches to read some reviews about various brands of pet food．Keep in mind that some reviews can be one-sided and even planted by the company itself，so look for fair third-party sources giving the review．
Investigate（調(diào)查） ingredients．The source of ingredients is of major concern when it comes to reducing the risks of pet food recalls and keeping pets healthy．Read the labels and ask questions to determine where the ingredients are coming from．
Understand pet foods．Cat and dog food should contain 100percent protein，which will supply them with the nutrients their bodies require．The problem with many commercial pet foods is that it is full of numerous fillers，such as cheap fillers and grains．

36．How can people provide a safer and healthier environment for their pet？B
A．By giving more food to their pet．
B．By getting a better understanding about pet food．
C．By accompanying their pet more．
D．By knowing more about their pet．
37．How many pieces of advice on choosing a pet food are given by the author？C
A．Three．  B．Four．  C．Five．  D．Six．
38．As for reducing the risks of pet food recalls，what should be mainly taken into consideration？A
A．Where the ingredients come from．
B．Whether the company has good reputation．
C．Whether the food supply enough nutrients．
D．Whether most people choose the food．
39．The passage is mainly aboutB．
A．the increasingly serious problem about food safety
B．the ways to choose a safer pet food
C．the opinion about food safety
D．the advice on caring pets
40．Who are the intended readers of the passage？D
A．People in general．
B．Food companies．
C．Pet shop owners．
D．Pet owners．

7．An accident in a bicycle race in the United States eight years ago alerted James Chang to the importance of sports medicine．One of his riding companions（25）was injured（injure） severely in the accident．
From then on，Chang，45，a Chinese-American who was born in Anhui province，began to launch business relating to physical safety and medical assistance，particularly in sport．So（26）whenhe took up marathon running two years ago he was shocked to see frequent injuries，many of them avoidable．
"I always heard people talking about people in marathons in China dying suddenly，"he says，adding that one reason why many of these deaths happen is（27）thatthere is a lot of ignorance in China about what marathon running involves．
Many amateur runners in China who are highly competitive get carried away and run at a pace that is far in excess of（28）whatthey can expect their body to take，and even ignore clear signals such as pain，Chang says．
As Chinese have placed more emphasis on leading healthy life-styles in recent years，marathon and other long-distance running（29）have become（become） a highly popular sport across the country quickly．
More than 50 China Athletic Association-sanctioned urban marathons were held in the country last year，and 39 races involving more than 750，000 runners were held the year before．However，long-distance running is a serious business that can exact a heavy physical toll on runners．
"Marathon carries（30）higher（high） risks of injury than other forms of sport，"Hou says，adding that the key to avoiding injury is to strengthen the body through regular exercise and to be aware of one's own physical condition．
Although some chronic injuries are hard（31）to avoid（avoid），even for highly experienced runners，cramp，fainting and shock can easily be prevent（32）ifrunners better understand the sport，he says．

6．Nuclear power's danger to health，safety，and even life itself can be summed up in one word：radiation．
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it，partly because it cannot be detected by human senses．It can't be seen or heard，or touched or tasted，even though it may be all around us．There are other things like that．For example，radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them，sense them，without a radio receiver．Similarly，we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector．But unlike common radio waves，nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things．
At very high levels，radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs．But even the lowest levels can do serious damage．There is no level of radiation that is completely safe．If the radiation does not hit anything important，the damage may not be serious．This is the case when only a few cells are hit，and if they are killed immediately，your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones．But if the few cells are only damaged，and if they reproduce themselves，you may be in trouble．They can grow into cancer．Sometimes this does not show up for many years．
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation．Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred．A person can be irradiated（輻射 ）and feel fine．then die for cancer five，ten，or twenty years later as a result．Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents．
Radiation can hurt us．We must know the truth．

51．What is the most dangerous factor of nuclear power？C
A．Amount       B．Quantity         C．Radiation         D．Place
52．Which of the following statements is TRUE？B
A．Nuclear radiation can do little harm to human beings．
B．Nuclear radiation can do harm to human beings．
C．Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses．
D．Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves．
53．How can nuclear radiation kill an animal？D
A．By damaging its heart．
B．By killing a few cells in its body．
C．By hitting any place in its body．
D．By killing many cells in important organs．
54．Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery becauseA．
A．it can do harm to a person while the victim doesn't know
B．human beings learn its harmfulness
C．nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily
D．human beings have no effective machine to detect nuclear radiation
55．If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation，he mayD．
A．die of cancer after many years
B．die immediately
C．have a child who may be born weak
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above．

2．Food，football and fashion-Milan has it a11．The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo，the theme of which is food and nutrition．
Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy．Rome is the most famous city in Italian history，Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers．Yet Milan can often be left off tourists'lists．But although some see Milan as the"ugly sister"of these cities，according to Lonely Planet，in 2015the city is"suddenly back in fashion in a big way"．
The Milan Expo will look at the future of food，trying to answer the question of how Earth's fast-growing population can be fed in the future．According to Lonely Planet website．"144countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan，forming a mini city-within-a-city"．
Milan's famous opera house，La Scala，normally closed in the summer，will also host daily performances during the expo，reported Fox News．
Not interested in opera？Don't worry．Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium，home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years，both in Serie A and the European Champions League．
So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem"soulless"，as Lonely Planet said．it still has"a serious sense of history and place"．Many people will be discovering it this year，and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems．Will you？

28．Which of the following statements is True about Milan？D
A．It is the largest city in Italy and has the longest history．
B．It is hosting the world's largest Fashion Week in 2015．
C．Football，fashion and ancient canals are three features of the city．
D．The city's La Scala opera house will offer additional performances in 2015．
29．What's the attitudes of the editors from Lonely Planet towards the city of Milan？C
A．uninterlested．    
B．modest．    
C．favorable．  
D．dissatisfied．
30．In the 2015Milan Expo，you canA．
A．enjoy food from all over the world
B．Watch great football games
C．Travel along the canals
D．Enjoy great art works
31．The author's purpose in writing this article is toA．
A．give an introduction to Milan as a tourist destination
B．inform readers of the theme of the 2015Milan Expo
