Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．

Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球場) in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．

There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control．

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all, it’s free．

第一節(jié) 閱讀理解 (共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并填寫在答題卡上。

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救護車) to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同時地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

1.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,…’？

A. People don’t communicate without telephone.

B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.

3. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a. Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.

A. c, d     B. a, e        C. a, c           D. b, e

4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through .

A. the TV screen                          B. a fax machine

C. the phone line hooked up to the computer    D. a microphone

第二部分：閱讀理解（共25小題。第一節(jié)每小題2分，第二節(jié)每小題1分，滿分45分）

第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中， 選出最佳選項。

When he thought of the past, my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school. They were brown and faded, and it was hard to believe that the blurred(模糊) figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather. Besides, he wore a cap --- all the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured. When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group, we would surely point to the wrong boy.

On one such occasion my younger sister, aged six, burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. "How could that boy be you?" she cried. "He should have a beard." We were, of course, all convinced that grandfathers should have beards, preferably white and bushy, like our own grandfather's.

"I was a good scholar," Grandfather would say, wagging his beard over the photographs. "I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood, and again when I came home from school."

"But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays?"

"Saturdays, if it was fine, I'd be out all day in the fields with the men," replied Grandfather. "And if it was wet, I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house. There wasn't much time for studying."

We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have seen Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never, obviously, having a moment for himself. It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.

1. In the first paragraph of this passage, what the author really tells us is that ________ .

A. his grandfather used to wear short trousers, socks and a cap as well

B. it was difficult to tell which of the boys in the photographs was Grandfather

C. he didn't believe Grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at school

D. it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward

2. The author's sister burst into tears because________.

A. she did not get a chance to pick out Grandfather in the photographs

B. she was told which was the right boy before she herself could pick him out

C. other children did not agree with her that Grandfather should have had a beard

D. she found Grandfather in the photographs did not have a beard

3. When Grandfather said, "I should have been top of the class...", he meant ________ .

A. if he had had more time for studying, he would have been the best in his class

B. he should have spent more time studying rather than playing ball games

C. his school days should not have been so hard and miserable

D. he could have never been the best student even if he had studied still harder

4. In the last paragraph the author said, "We all tried hard to imagine..." because ________ .

A. the figures of the boys in the photographs were small and blurred

B. the children had never experienced life like that of Grandfather

C. the photographs Grandfather showed them were brown and faded

D. Grandfather failed to tell them about his childhood in detail
