(Multiple

(

)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose
the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Summer
is
the
ideal
time
of
year
for
one
of
my
favorite
outdoor
activities,
hiking
(
徒步旅行
).
It
is
much
more
than
just
a
great
workout. You get to be outside of the confines of a gym and be
together
with
nature.
You
breathe
in
the
fresh,
clean
air
while
the city life you endured all week just fades away. You are
suddenly transported somewhere else. You are suddenly in a
place
where
you
can
appreciate
the
untouched,
simplistic
beauty
of nature. The trees are green, the wild flowers are growing
and
the
woods
are
filled
with
activity.
Once
you
experience
it,
you're hooked.

Whether hiking in the deserts of Arizona or the mountains of
Alberta, you suddenly realize you are not alone and there is
something
much
bigger
at
work.
There
is
a
realization
that
life
is precious and you think deeply about your life.

Another wonderful part of hiking is that you can participate
at any level and it is, for the most part, free. It is a great
way to escape the rat race, even during the week. If you have
any problems you need to solve, hiking is really good for
clearing your head and removing stress.

If
hiking
sounds
intimidating
to
you,
it
is
essentially
walking
on a whole new level. Experts have spoken about the benefits
of
walking
for
years.
Walking
doesn't
stress
your
legs
as
much
as
running
and
countless
studies
agree
walking
leads
to
weight
loss and better health. It is good for your heart, reduces
illness and has even been shown to enhance your thinking. So
why wouldn't you want to do it


1.


B. It is a summertime activity.


What makes hiking different from other forms of exercise

A. It is a great workout.

C. It is an activity that slows breathing.


D. It is an exercise that is done outside.

B. Beautiful nature.


C. City life.


D. Precious things.



3.

Once
you
take
up
hiking
in
nature
as
something
you
do,
you
________.

A. feel much bigger than before


B. love it and want to do it often


C. wish you lived outside of the city


D. look for new hiking places, like Arizona



4.


B. Thoughtful.


C. Lonely.


D. Free from stress.



5.


How is running different than walking

A. Running is harder on the legs.

How do you feel after you've begun hiking

A. Green trees.

B. Running is better for weight loss.


C. Running is good for a person's heart.


D. Running is a cause for improved thinking.



Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Another
example
of
the
dangers
of
a
restricted
diet
may
be
seen
in the disease known as
脚气病
), which used to
affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on
rice.
In
the
early
years
of
the
20th
century,
a
Dutch
scientist
named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri.
At first he thought it was transmitted (
传送
) by a germ (
细
菌
).
He
was
working
in
a
Japanese
hospital,
where
the
patients
were fed on rice which had had the external husk (
壳
) removed
from
the
grain,
called

rice.
”It

was
thought
this
would
be easier for weak, sick people to digest.

Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed
the
chickens
in
the
hospital
yard,
which
were
fed
on
scraps
(
碎
片
) from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the
disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was
causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by
a
hospital
official,
who
ruled
that
the
huskless
polished
rice
was
too
good
for
chickens.
The
chickens
should
be
fed
cheap
rice
with the external covering still on the grain, called
rice.

Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new
diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating brown
rice
somehow
prevented
or
cured
beri-beri
—
even
that
a
lack
of
some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of
the disease.
Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent
beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and
is now known as Vitamin B. The white rice, though more
expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was
trying to cure.


6.

From the context, what do you think the author mentions
in
the paragraph that is
just before this first
paragraph

A. One example of the importance of vitamins.


B. One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.


C. One example of the dangers of a restricted diet.


D. One example of the benefits of various vitamins.



7.


B. is a vitamin deficiency disease


C. is transmitted by diseased rice


D. can be caught from diseased chickens



8.

The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard
________.

A. couldn't digest the huskless rice


B. proved beri-beri is transmitted by germs


C. were later cooked for the patients' food


D. were suffering from vitamin deficiency



9.


B. was less beneficial to the body than brown rice


C. was more beneficial to the body than brown rice


D. cured beri- beri



10.

The ingredient missing from white rice ________.

Huskless, white rice ________.

A. was cheaper than brown rice

The disease

A. kills large numbers of Western peoples

A. was Vitamin B


B. did not affect the chickens


C. was named the Eijkman vitamin


D. has never been accurately identified


Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.

A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats
anything derived from animals. The main objection to
vegetarianism
(
素食主义
)
on
a
long-term
basis
is
the
difficulty
of getting enough protein
—
the body-building element in food.
If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for
some days or weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have
noticed that you tend to get rather weak physically. You are
glad when the fast (
禁食
) is over and you get your reward of
a delicious meat meal.

Proteins are built up from about twenty food elements called

氨基酸
), which are found in greater amounts in
animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have
to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order
to
get
enough
of
these
amino
acids.
A
great
deal
of
the
vegetable
food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological
(
生理学的
) point of view there is not much to be said in favor
of life-long vegetarianism.

The
economic
side
of
the
question,
though,
must
be
considered.
Vegetable
food
is
much
cheaper
than
animal
food.
However,
since
only
a
small
proportion
of
the
vegetable
protein
is
useful
for
body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to
gain
the
necessary
70
grams
(
克
)
of
protein
a
day,
has
to
consume
a
greater
bulk
of
food
than
his
digestive
organs
can
comfortably
deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that
vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein
a day.


11.

A strict vegetarian ________.

A. rarely eats animal products


B. sometimes eats eggs


C. never eats any animal products


D. never eats protein



12.

We feel weak when we go without meat and other animal
products _____.

A. because we are reducing our food amount


B. because we do not get enough protein


C. because vegetables do not contain protein


D. unless we take plenty of exercise



13.

Proteins are built up from ________.

A. about twenty different foods


B. about twenty different vegetables


C. various fats and sugars


D. about twenty different amino acids



14.

Physiologically, life-long vegetarianism may not be good
because ______.

A. it makes people very thin


B. the body must process too much waste


C. the farmer loses money


D. vitamin- deficiency diseases may result



15.

One thing in favour of vegetarianism is that ________.

A. vegetable food is easier to digest


B. animal food is less expensive


C. vegetable food is cheaper


D. vegetable food contains more amino acids
