Americans are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet, and the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries. Online sales now represent as much as one-tenth of all retail(零售) sales in the United States，which has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.
Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband. Other than food, 90 percent of her purchases(购买的东西) were made on her home computer. “I find that, by being able to go online and opt for the things that I need to select and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I’m free from all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise, and I usually get a better selection.”
There are a lot of people like her. Experts say American online shopping hit records in both November and December. Fifty-seven percent of Americans have bought something electronically. Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. Cornell University marketing professor Ed McLaughlin says, “They should be worried. Anything that can move online will be sold online. And it's just a matter of time. However, traditional stores can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing. The stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship. ”
Bill Martin, whose business helps stores learn about their customers, says, “Traditional stores offer a social experience that some people enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place, and you can't always get that on-line. It's a rather cold process. Traditional stores can provide goods for buyers more quickly than online stores. And some retailers are using websites to persuade people to visit their stores. ”
While online shopping worries some business owners, the only worry for delivery services like FedEx and UPS is keeping up with the number of packages. UPS Manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of year. UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary worker positions during the holiday season.
1.According to Lynne Shaner, shopping online ________.
A. helps choose things she needs most
B. will replace traditional shopping soon
C. offer many benefits to customers
D. seldom provides a better selection
2.What does the underlined phrase “opt for” in the second paragraph mean?
A. choose B. sell C. design D. purchase
3.Professor Ed McLaughlin thinks that _________.
A. online shopping has little effect on traditional stores
B. it is time for store owners to be anxious about their business
C. traditional stores can do nothing to stop challenges from online shopping
D. traditional stores should sell more things that are difficult to ship
4.What can we know from the fourth paragraph?
A. Online sales fail to offer customers sense of emotion.
B. Customers enjoy social experience when shopping online.
C. Traditional stores can help customers decide what to buy.
D. Customers can buy goods more quickly after visiting websites.
5.From the passage we can infer _______.
A. UPS has filled more worker positions than FedEx
B. business owners are concerned about delivery services
C. FedEx is keeping up with UPS on the number of packages
D. delivery services are facing more and more pressure from online sales

Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.
Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.
Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢)becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.
To stop this vicious(恶性的)circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (使…中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
1.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.
B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.
2.It can be inferred from Para. 2 that ________.
A. it is essential for people to protect their vital organs
B. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
C. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
D. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
3.Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.
A. destroy body’s cells B. are difficult to digest
C. may lead to obesity D. stop body’s metabolism
4.What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Active approaches to avoid acid.
B. Different causes of acid accumulation.
C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.
D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.
5.What can we learn from the text?
A. Processed foods are good for our appetite mechanism.
B. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods does good to our body.
C. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion more effective.
D. Processed foods also comfort the digestive tract.

What if we could replace oil with a fuel which produced no pollution and which everybody had equal access to? The good news is that we can. In fact, we are swimming in it--- literally.
Hydrogen is one of the building blocks of the universe. Our own sun is basically a big, dense cloud of the stuff. And hydrogen can be used to create electricity for power, heat and light.
The problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It does not exist as a material on its own, but is always part of something else. So it has to be separated before it can be used.
Most commercial hydrogen in use now is created from natural gas. As oil will start to run out in around the year 2030, it makes sense to produce as much hydrogen as possible as soon as we can. But natural gas supplies will also begin to run out soon after. Another source is needed.
Researchers are now using electricity to make water into hydrogen. Companies are working on the problem in their own areas. The first commercial hydrogen “fuel cells” for computers and mobile phones have already come on to the market. Auto companies have also invested over US $2 billion in the production of hydrogen fuelled cars.
The nations of a hydrogen fuelled planet would not fight over energy recourses. There would be a great reduction in pollution. The only by-product of creating hydrogen is pure drinking water--- something that is very scarce in many parts of the world. But that is not where the good news ends. Once the costs of producing hydrogen have been brought down, it will possibly provide power for a third of the Earth’s population that has no electricity.
And electricity creates wealth. In South Africa over the last decade there has been a large programme of electrification. Thanks to the programme, people do not have to spend their days looking firewood to burn for heat. And with electric light, they can work long into the night.
Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates. Hydrogen creates electricity, and is also created by it. With dual use fuel cells, everyone who consumes energy could also produce it. Late at night, a man drives home in London and connects his car into the “world-wide hydrogen web,” which it supplies with electricity. A few hours later, a man in Beijing uses that electricity to power the hydrogen cell in his car. Hydrogen could be the first democratic energy source.
Like all dreams of the future, it seems very far away. But the threat of war and terrorism in the Middle East has made governments and businesses more aware of the need to end oil dependency and spend more time and money on hydrogen resource. So maybe the threat of war is not a completely bad thing for the future of the human race.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to?
A. wealth B. hydrogen C. electricity D. fuel
2.What is the problem with using hydrogen as energy?
A. It has by-products.
B. It has to be separated from other materials.
C. It will make energy too cheap.
D. It is too far away from us.
3.Why does the author give the example in the last but one paragraph ?
A. To tell us that we produce energy while using hydrogen power.
B. To tell us that hydrogen power does not produce pollution.
C. To show hydrogen power can stop war.
D. To show hydrogen power is cheap.
4.What is the author’s attitude about the future?
A. skeptical B. negative C. indifferent D. positive
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A. war and energy B. the future of hydrogen as an energy resource
C. the disadvantages of oil D. How to end war

阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
【1】Entering a study abroad program was a personal program for myself. College had not been fun up until that point. I was looking for excitement. After meeting a guy who loved to travel, he convinced me that studying abroad was one of the best decisions he had ever made and that I should try it. Immediately I visited my study abroad office and discovered many choices. I only spoke Spanish, but not fluently enough to feel comfortable in a program that was based in Spain or Mexico. This meant I needed a country that spoke English. Finally I chose the University of Central London.
【2】Many people hesitate before studying abroad because they think they__________. I went to college on loans(贷款), so a semester abroad would be no different. The additional expenses, such as food and travel, were the most expensive part of the trip. Any student travelling abroad received part of a grant donated to our school. This took almost $ 2,000 off the cost of my trip.
【3】Looking back on my experience years later, I am grateful that I took the chance and studied in London. I made a number of friends in London with locals, who are willing to help me anytime. I never felt unsafe because they would show me how to live in London, where to go and how to get anywhere I needed to go.
【4】My favorite memories in London is turn around my classwork. When studying abroad I took an English class that focused on British humor. During this class we watched British films and went to live performances. Before this class, I never understood British humor, and now I enjoy it more than American humor. My favorite class was art history. I cannot express to anyone how interesting it was to take art history in London.
【5】When people ask me if I would study abroad again, I exclaim, “yes!” You will never learn any lessons or information like you do when travelling abroad to a foreign country. As a person you will grow independent from everything. You will learn how to make friends and survive alone on your own. You will also learn to respect and understand other cultures.
