C

A crisis is on the way．Global warming? The world economy? No，the decline of reading．People are just not doing it anymore，especially the young．Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet，of course，and everything that comes with it—Facebook，Twitter，etc..

There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time．In the 20th century，first it was the movies，then radio，then television that seemed to end the written world．None did．Reading survived；in fact it not only survived，it has developed better．The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers．and more and more books．

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over．The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing．Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before．Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations，an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts，pictures，and videos．

On the other hand，there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化)．One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels．War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking．We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading．There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration．

In such a fast-changing world，in which reality seems to be remade each day，we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us．This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear．Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic，confusing world．

1.In Paragraph 2，we can learn 　　　　　　 ．

A．the disappearance of traditional books

B．the development of human civilization

D．the birth of pioneering e-books

2.According to the passage，the advantage of e-books is　　　　　　 ．

A．1imited link

B．imaginative design

C．low cost

D．varied contents

3.How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?

A．Doubtful　　　　　　　 B．Worried

C．Shocked　　　　　　　　 D．Hopeful

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading．

B．Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing．

C．Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience．

D．Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice．

America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising  their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.

It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding—and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.

As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.

1.It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ___________.

2.A growing interest in sports developed after ______________.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

4.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “leveled off” in the paragraph 2?

People are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing property that is environmentally responsible is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being designed with a green focus in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia is one of them.

If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self-sufficient community along the harbour front of British Columbia's capital city. The community will be home to 2500 people will consist of residential, office, and retail space. Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation(通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-poisonous. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it grows fast and does not require pesticides(杀虫剂) to grow.

Energy efficiency is one of the top concerns in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy efficient appliances and light fixtures(照明设备) reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Residents will have individual water metres as studies show that people use around 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing(冲洗) toilets.

Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions(排放).

Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of a mini transportation system and buy into the community's car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels (化石燃料).

Dockside residents will benefit from excellent local services with high quality healthcare, shopping and education at the heart of the community, along with excellent recreation facilities and plentiful green open spaces. The Eco-Community will favour the use of locally-sourced goods and services; they will be desirable places to live, promoting a tangible(看得见的) sense of civic pride, responsibility and, as the name suggests, community.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about Dockside Green according to the passage?

A. It is an environmental charity aiming at reducing carbon footprint.

B. It is a self sufficient community with a population of 2500 people.

C. It is being built along the harbor front that is threatened by pollution.

D. It emphasizes the importance of green energy and energy efficiency.

2.Bamboo is a favorable choice for builders because it _________.

A. provides good air circulation　　 B. keeps pets outside the house

C. grows quickly and easily　　 D. does not produce any waste

3.Which is NOT one of the issues Dockside Green hope to address in the future?

A. Convincing local factories not to pollute the air.

B. Creating an alternative to fossil fuels heating.

C. Having people pay for individual household usage.

D. Promoting the car share program to the residents.

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Ways to Reduce Carbon Footprint　　 B. Green Energy: New Trends in Canada

C. Eco-Communities: Dockside Green　　 D. Wise Investment in Eco-Communities
