阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
You may be surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass, dirt and water. Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature, and now scientists are starting to catch up. Researchers have documented how contact with nature can decrease mental tiredness, and enhance moods, concentration and problem-solving. Just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients’ recovery and reduce illness rates. Exposure to the open air, horseback riding, hiking, camping can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children. Much of this type of research is focusing on children, and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature.
Obesity. Rates of childhood, adult obesity and related conditions including diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease have grown greatly in recent years, partly because of reducing the time of outdoor activities. This problem can be partly addressed by increasing the time students spend learning about nature, both in and outside the classroom. Such lessons are often more engaging to students and often lead them to become more active outside.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (注意力缺失症). An exposure to ordinary natural settings in the course of common after-school and weekend activities may be widely effective in reducing attention shortness symptoms (症状) in children. Participation in green activities helps ADHD patients keep focused and complete tasks.
Stress. Access to nature, even houseplants, can help children deal with stress.
Depression and seasonal emotional disorder. Major depression requires medical treatment, but physical activity, especially those done outdoors, can help ease symptoms. Staying in the sunshine for just a few minutes can also help supply bone-building vitamin D. Experts say that simply walking in a city park can enjoy nature’s benefits.
36. According to the passage, which of the following is the most important for you to keep healthy
A. Healthy diet. B. Exercises. C. Outdoor activities. D. No smoking.
37. The underlined word “enhance” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. improve B. add C. destroy D. control
38. From the first paragraph, what do we know
A. People didn’t enjoy the healing power of nature until recent years.
B. Having a view of nature is the only way to improve health conditions.
C. Outdoors activities are good for people’s health.
D. Researchers have found out what causes people’s mental tiredness and illness.
39. The effects of outdoor activities include all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A. helping people to control stress
B. helping children to increase the vitamin D level
C. helping people to reduce the symptoms of ADHD
D. helping scientists to believe the rates of adult obesity and the healing power of the open air
40. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Contact with Nature B. The Benefits of Nature to Health
C. Exposure to the Open Air D. Some Health Conditions
B
Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. Mckay was included in a list of university alumni (校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on Mckay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization.” After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boclcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
Mckay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. 4tI found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ (阵亡) next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”
41. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay
A. A uniform of McKay. B. A footnote about McKay
C. A book on McKay D. A picture of McKay
42. What did the students find out about McKay
A. He trained pilots for some time. B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War. D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
43. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in ______.
A. Belgium B. Germany C. Canada D. England
44. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay ______.
A. preferred fight to his study B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett D. set an example for his fellow students
45. What is the text mainly about
A. The research into war history. B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars. D. The importance of military studies.
C
At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down.” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an on-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
46. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Computers effectively cut down the use of paper.
B. Documents can be stored in computers electronically.
C. A large number of e-mails need to be printed in reality.
D. Printers are in a greater demand owing to the Internet.
47. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ______.
A. the rapid development of small businesses
B. the opening up of new markets
C. the printing of high quality copies
D. the increased use of the Internet
48. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ______.
A. people are concerned about the environment
B. printers in many offices are working overtime
C. small companies need more hard copies
D. they see a growing market for printers
49. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ______.
A. to encourage printing more quality documents
B. to develop new printers using recycled paper
C. to find new materials for making paper
D. to plant more fast growing trees
50. What would be the best title for the text
A. Computers and Printers
B. E-mail and the Business World
C. Internet Revolution and Environment
D. Modem Technology and New Markets
D
For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modem traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed not endured (忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever- changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in- flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being ‘processed’ at a modem airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being ‘processed’ at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modem high- speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday- maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.
51. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1
A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed of modem travel has made distances relatively short.
C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.
D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
52. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2
A. By giving instructions. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By following the order of time. D. By giving examples.
53. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modem high- speed trains because
A. they pay less for the tickets B. they feel safer during the travel
C. they can enjoy higher speed of travel D. they don’t have to waste time being ‘processed’
54. What does the last sentence of the passage mean
A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B. They needed the clock to tell the time.
C. They preferred traveling on horseback.
D. They could travel with their master.
55. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Air travel benefits people and industries.
B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel.
C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Elizabeth Holmes was named to last year’s TIME 100 list of the world’s most influential people because she developed a high tech approach to blood testing. She’s being compared to people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Just as Gates wanted a computer on every desk, Holmes wants a blood test in every drugstore. Her company, Theranos, has created what they call a painless, needle-free way to draw blood and test it Instead of a needle to the arm, it’s a pin prick (刺穿, 扎穿) to the finger.
At 19 years old, Holmes dropped out of Stanford University. Now, at 31, she’s what lots of teenagers likely try hard to become: the youngest female billionaire in the world. Her company is now valued at close to $10 billion.
“You know, money is not what matters,” Holmes said. “What matters is how well we do in trying to make people’s lives better. That’s why I’m doing this. That’s why I work the way that I work. And that’s why I love what I’m doing so much.” Holmes is marketing Theranos as a faster and cheaper alternative to a process that hasn’t changed meaningfully in decades.
Theranos struck a partnership with drugstore chain Walgreens to build thousands of Wellness Centers. Every center would offer a menu of blood tests— ranging from cancer to cholesterol (胆固醇)— directly to consumers. And every test, Holmes said, would cost only a small part of what Medicare pays.
Not everyone is sold just yet. Some critics argue the Theranos method doesn’t extract enough blood to do all the tests it claims.” Every time you create something new, there should be questions, and to me that’s a sign that you’ve actually done something that is transformative,” Holmes said.
For as much promise as those tiny samples hold, Holmes is already known as a very real and rare example of what perseverance (坚持不懈) makes possible. She was young when she decided she wanted to change the world, and at nine years old she wrote a letter explaining her dreams to her dad: “What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do.”
