As you can see,water works hard in your body every day.That’s why it’s important  to give your body the water it needs to carry out all its different jobs.On a regular day,your body loses 2 to 3 quarts of water—enough to fill a 2­liter soda bottle.You probably guess that water is lost when you sweat—especially   on a hot day.
But your body also loses water in an almost invisible way—evaporation (蒸发).Water escapes from your body through your skin and in your breath.How?Your breath contains droplets (小滴) of water that are usually too tiny to see.They become visible for a quick second in the cold when you can “see your breath”.But water evaporates this way all year round.Your skin also contains water,which escapes in tiny droplets that go into  the air.The water in your skin evaporates into the air,but fortunately,your body can replace the water it loses so your skin doesn’t dry out.
Eating and drinking is one way to replace the water your body loses.Most foods have a lot of water in them,especially fruits and vegetables.Grapes,watermelons,oranges,and cantaloupes are delicious and full of water.
But you can’t rely_on food alone to get that water back,and that’s why it’s also a good idea to drink water  every day.You might have heard someone say that people need to drink 6 to 8 cups (1.4 to 1.9 liters) of water each day.Depending on how much  water you’re getting from foods and other liquids,6 to 8 cups might not be necessary.If you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables,or you like to eat soup every day,you’ll get some of the water your body needs.
小题1:You should drink enough water every day because________.
A.your body needs too much water
B.water does all kinds of jobs in your body
C.your body loses a lot of water every day
D.the more water you drink the better you feel
小题2:Water in your body loses by the following ways EXCEPT________.
A.breathingB.evaporating
C.sweatingD.eating
小题3:Your body has to give enough water to your skin in order to________.

B.stop your skin from drying out
C.stop the water from losing
D.keep your skin clean all the time
小题4:What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in the fourth paragraph mean?

Organic food, once considered something that only health fanatics desired, is now a regular feature at most supermarkets. And that has created a bit of a dilemma. On the one hand, you have a conventionally grown apple. On the other, you have one that’s organic. Both apples are firm, shiny and red. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
Conventionally grown food generally costs less, but is organic food a better choice? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and sold food products are now being debated on a large scale. Supporters of organic foods ― a term whose meaning varies greatly ―are frequently telling the world that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of daily foods is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been aroused by sweeping claims that the conventional food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs.
Almost daily, the public is surrounded by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated(没证实的) reports that natural vitamins are superior to man-made ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than those treated with insect spray and the like.
Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, large amounts of written material about the benefits of organic foods makes it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely advertised and form the basis for people’s opinion.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the conventional food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.
小题1:According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements about organic food is true?
A.It hasn’t been used until recent years.
B.It has no agreed definition.
C.It is popular among producers.
D.It is accepted by most nutritionists.
小题2:In Paragraph 4, treated grains are examples of ________.
A.healthier foodB.organic food
C.conventionally grown foodD.expensive food
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.most doctors believe organic foods prevent disease or provide other benefits to health
B.organic foods are actually less nutritious than conventionally grown foods
C.people cannot separate fact from fiction because of the TV advertisements
D.organic foods cost more but are not necessarily better than conventionally grown foods
小题4:According to the passage, many consumers are attracted by organic foods because they _____.
A.want to try something new
B.have carefully researched the products
C.value food safety and nutrition
D.expect to save some money
小题5:What is the author’s attitude towards the claims of organic foods?
A.Doubtful.B.Enthusiastic.
C.Supportive.D.Uninterested.

February has long been a month of romance(浪漫). With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest(牧师) in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform(主持) marriage ceremonies(典礼) for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison(监狱), it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed (签名)“From your Valentine”, an expression that is still  in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.
Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped(心形的) cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.
小题1:Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?
A.Because there were few women in his country at that time.
B.Because he wanted to control the birth rate.

小题2:Valentine was put into prison because ______.
A.he killed one of the soldiers

In 1935, the clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, aged just twenty?six, left New York with his fourteen?piece “swing” band and, traveling in a ragtag group of cars, headed for the huge Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. It was not an easy trip. ?There were half a dozen dismal, sparsely attended one?nighters and three weeks at a dance hall in Denver, where the band was forced to play waltzes, tangos, and novelty numbers. On the opening night at the Palomar, the band played ballad numbers in the first set, and there was little response from the dancers. Then one of the musicians said, if they were going to bomb again they might well do it in style. So Goodman called for his hot, often uptempo arrangements, many of them by the ingenious black bandleader and arranger Fletcher Henderson, and the kids stopped dancing, clustered around the bandstand, and began roaring. ?Before the weeks at the Palomar were over, it was clear that Goodman had suddenly made jazz—still a suspect and largely subliminal American folk music, despite the brilliant inventions during the previous decade of Jelly Roll Morton and others—into a popular music.
Goodman?s surprising ways continued. In 1936, he shook up the white entertainment establishment by hiring two black musicians—the elegant pianist Teddy Wilson and the plunging vibraphonist Lione Hampton. (To be sure, Wilson and Hampton did not play in the band; instead, they appeared with Goodman and the drummer Gene Krupa during intermissions.) A year later, when the band went into the Paramount Theater in New York for three weeks, legions of kids appeared, and a screaming, dancing riot nearly took place. ?It was the first great American show frenzy, and it prepared the way for the Sinatra frenzy of 1947, and for all the Beatles frenzies, and for all the mindless rock?borne frenzies of the Seventies and Eighties.
Then, on the night of January 16, 1938, Goodman, challenging the long?hairs, took his band into a sold?out Carnegie Hall. The big band played a dozen numbers, the trio two numbers, and the quartet five numbers. ?Despite the immediate rumblings from Olin Downes, the Times?s classical music critic (“The playing last night, if noise, speed and beat, all old devices, are heat, was “hot” as it could be, but nothing came of it all, and in the long run it was decidedly monotonous”), Goodman?s concert moved jazz even further up the American popular register. [412 words]
小题1: This passage is mainly
A  a general review of Jazz music.
B  a biography of Benny Goodman.
C  about the origin of American folk music.
D  about how jazz became popular in America.
小题2:  Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A  The band?s first music show in Los Angles was an immediate success.
B  Goodman is considered the father of Jazz music.
C  Benny Goodman was unknown to public when he left New York.
D  The band scheduled to play waltzes, tangos and novelty numbers at a dance hall in Denver.
小题3: It could be inferred from the passage that
A  Jazz is a style of music native to America.
B  Classic music had become outdated at Goodman?s time.
C  Morton and Goodman were contemporaries.
D  Goodman was the first bandleader who hired Black musicians in 1930s.
小题4: The phrase “shake up” (Line 1,Paragraph 2) in the context probably means
A  to give a very unpleasant shock.
B  to make changes to an organization.
B  to get rid of a problem.
D  to point out, designate.
小题5:  Towards Goodman?s music show frenzy, Olin Downes, the classical music critic has
A  approving attitude.  B  satirizing attitude.
C  regretting mind.  D  exaggerated tone.

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communication equipment is greatly improved by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modem businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support home business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks (管理层). The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more popular.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communication devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's official language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign partners over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset(资产)to the firm.
小题1:What is the author's attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?
A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Prejudiced.D.discontented.
小题2:With the increased use of high-tech communication equipment, business people ________.
A.are eager to work overseas
B.have to get familiar with modem technology
C.are attaching more importance to their overseas businesses

小题3:In paragraph 3, "out of sight and out of mind" (Line 2-3) probably means ________.
A.leaving all care and worry behind
B.being totally out of touch with business at home
C.being unable to think properly for lack of insight
D.missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
小题4:According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?
A.Ability to speak the customer's language.
B.Connections with businesses over seas
C.Technical know-how.
D.Business experience.
小题5:The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _________.

During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South.To ease their labor, they sang "field hollers" that they had brought from Africa.One person sang a line.Then a group of workers repeated it.The songs' words told of the hardships that people suffered.African Americans sang "shout spirituals", or joyous religious songs.They clapped their hands and stomped their feet to the music.
After the Civil War, the music changed dramatically.African American music, from ballads to church music, took new forms.It also adapted dance music, called "jump-ups".which had great rhythm. Banjos became popular.A blues singer usually played a call and response with the banjo.By the early 1900s, the guitar had replaced the banjo as the main blues instrument.
Northern Mississippi - called the Delta - was the center of the blues tradition.By the 1920s, the Delta had many clubs, so-called juke joints.African Americans listened and danced to music in these clubs.Some of the greatest blues men and women performed there.
Blues have a soulful sound that is easy to recognize.The musical notes are often "bent".That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.Whatever their origin, these bent notes most often define the blues.
Lyrics are the words of a song.Blues lyrics describe everyday life.The lyrics, often about relationships between men and women, are often very intense and personal.They tell about sorrow and overwork.They tell about finding or losing love, having money or being broke, being happy or sad and lonely.The lyrics may use humor to describe life's trials and joys.They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech.A typical blues stanza, or group of lyrics, has three lines.The second line repeats the first line.The third line has different words.
By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans had left the Delta and moved north to work. Many settled in Chicago.There, a new kind of "electric", or "Chicago" blues began.Many of its themes were the same, but these blues had "wailing" electric guitars and harmonicas.The music had a steady, strong drumbeat.The loud, driving Chicago blues was excellent dance music.Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music style-rock and roll.
小题1:The "field holler" is a kind of music that came from ___.

NO matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see Lonely Planet guidebooks in the hands of travelers.

Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. This year marks the company’s 40th anniversary. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts, all dedicated to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They save you time and keep you from missing the very best things in a place. And of course, their reviews of hostels, hotels and restaurants, in addition to ticket information about your destination, are useful.
This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map, directing the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also lament(哀叹)that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same things and having the same experiences as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same trail.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have an overly(过度的)large influence on local communities. For example, some locals dedicate their lives solely(仅仅)to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They fake a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses just to attract tourists’ dollars.
小题1:The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that   .
A.it can help you to save time and money when traveling
B.you will not miss the best things without having to make choices
C.it provides a lot of useful information about your destination
D.you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
小题2:Who will find a Lonely Planet guidebook very useful?
A.Someone who always takes a taxi when traveling.
B.A tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
C.A person who’s nervous touring an unfamiliar place.
D.A native traveler who is traveling alone.
小题3:People criticize the guidebook because   .
A.the guidebook is not as useful as most travelers expect
B.travelers using it will be bored with meeting the same people on their journey
C.travelers using it may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
D.local people keep their old lifestyle under the guidebook’s influence
小题4:What does the underlined word“fake”in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.mistake  B.learn  C.pretend  D.create

Zoos have been around for centuries — and they’ve changed a lot over the years. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people kept animals in their gardens. Public animal parks appeared in European cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first in the United States, opened in 1874.
Until a few decades (十年) ago, most zoos were organized by creatures — monkeys in one area, cats in another, birds somewhere else, just like museum collections. In recent years, zoos have instead begun grouping animals that would normally interact (互相作用) in the wild. Moreover, instead of closing animals behind bars, designers are creating landscapes like the environments in which these creatures would naturally be found. Nearby signs provide information about the animals and their habitats in parts of the world where they normally live.
The Denver Zoo’s new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims to teach visitors about Africa. Eight acres of land provide homes for 14 animal species, including lions, porcupines, cranes, and wild dogs. Plants from the region grow alongside African-like landform. Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they would do in the wild.
Landscape design makes visitors to the Denver Zoo’s Predator Ridge exhibit feel like they’re really in Africa.
Animals in Predator Ridge can’t actually be mixed with one another, for safety reasons. But hidden deep channels and other smart features allow visitors to see all the animals at once. Different species can see each other too.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Protection of zoo animals.
B.Changes of zoos over the time.
C.The safety problem of zoos.
D.The living habits of zoo animals.
小题2:In the Denver Zoo ten-foot-tall mounds are built to _____.
A.protect the safety of visitors
B.separate lions from other animals
C.create a natural environment for lions
D.offer visitors a better view of lions
小题3:The underlined part “the region” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____.
A.AfricaB.the Predator Ridge exhibit
C.the Denver ZooD.the ten-foot-tall mounds
小题4:We can learn from the passage that _____.
A.the earliest zoos were probably rich people’s gardens
B.the Philadelphia Zoo is the first zoo in the world
C.the new Predator Ridge exhibit is held in Africa
D.more animals will be kept in zoos in the future
