(Text 10)
W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I'm in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighed 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.

Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879.He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old，his father gave him a compass.The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction — to the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.
Albert did not like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students could not ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
In 1905，Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine.They included one of the most important scientific documents in history.It explained what came to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity (相对论)”．Ten years later he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity”．
In 1921，he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.It was given to him not for his theories of relativity，but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect (光电效应).
Albert Einstein left Germany in 1933.He moved to the United States to continue his research.Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940.
Einstein was a famous man，but you would not have known that by looking at him.His white hair was long and wild.He wore old clothes.He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work.Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand.
Einstein spent the last twentyfive years of his life working on what he called a “unified field theory”. He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics.However，he did not succeed.
Albert Einstein died in 1955 at the age of seventysix.

We all know that water is tasteless.But it happens from time to time：you pick up the bottle of water you didn't finish yesterday，and it tastes strange.Most often，you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin，believing that the water has gone bad.But is it true?
According to Time，of course not，taste has little to do with quality of water.
According to Time，when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours，carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water，and the pH value lowers slightly.As a result，the water has a different taste.
“But it's most likely safe to drink，” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic.“If the water is covered and of good quality to start with，in principle it can last a thousand years.That's because when water is fresh，it contains little organic matter.As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles，no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US，the UK and Australia usually drink tap water.According to Time，if tap water is drunk within six months，the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However，there are also some exceptions.If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day，microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.
With the help of surrounding temperature，and sunlight streaming through windows，these microorganisms multiply quickly.Sooner or later，the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria.And if you drink the water too often，then you're more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination，US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses.When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures，they produce a chemical called BPA.BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage，including heart disease and cancer”，Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，没喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，但只要水质是好的，保存恰当不被细菌污染，是不会变坏的。
28．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．Show an example.
B．Draw a conclusion.
C．Analyze a phenomenon.
D．Introduce a topic.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，本段讲述昨天没有喝完的水味道有点怪，有人会把它扔掉，是因为认为水坏了，但这是真的吗？结合下文的内容可知，写第一段的目的就是引出下文的一个话题。
29．Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree?
A．If the water tastes different，we shouldn't drink it.
B．The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
C．Although kept fresh，water may still have much organic matter.
D．Covered water can last for a thousand years.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段Truls Krogh的话可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。
30．What can we infer from the passage?
A．BPA does little harm to our health.
B．Tap water is always safe to drink.
C．Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat.
D．Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四至第七段的内容可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。但是一旦不小心弄脏了，可能会将微生物带入水里，在周围温度和阳光透过窗户的帮助下，这些微生物迅速繁殖，水迟早将会被细菌破坏。由此可推断出，微生物容易在高温下产生。
31．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Why Water Is Tasteless
B．How to Get Clean Water
C．Does Water Really Go Bad?
D．Learn to Protect Water
解析：选C 标题归纳题。本文的主旨在第一段，即在第一段讲述昨天没有喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，水质真的坏了吗？结论是味道会变，但是味道与水的质量没有多大关系。接着对这个问题But is it true？进行了大量的研究调查，证明只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，不被污染都是安全可饮用的。由此可推断出C项(水真的会坏吗)符合题意。
D
We sit too much，and researchers are discovering that even working out in a gym several times a week won't necessarily obviate serious problems if we're sitting for the rest of the time.From weight problems to poor blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels，even early death，the message is clear：we need to stop sitting for hours at a time.What to do？“Move more，” say the experts.
So we asked three fitness instructors for their preferred exercises that don't require equipment and can be done throughout the day at home，in the office，in a hallway，waiting in line at a grocery store or watching TV.
“There are a lot of ways to build activities into a day，” says Ottawabased fitness instructor Christine Dery，who focuses her classes on core muscle strength and balance.She reminds her students to seek ways to move more outside class，such as getting off the bus or an elevator ride a few stops earlier，or doing calf raises，wall squats and wrist stretches while watching TV.“We need to make exercise an important part of our day，” she says.“It's about making yourself a priority.”
Ben Gervais，a parttime personal trainer and former kung fu instructor in Ottawa，thinks that little moves matter.“Moves like mowing the lawn，doing work around the house，going for a walk with the kids and playing with the kids can all count as activities as long as you get up and move.” He recommends spending the twominute TV commercial breaks doing wall squats，pushups and situps，or stepping up and down on a step.
Stott Pilates trainer and instructor Michele Carini says breathing can be an exercise working abdominal (腹部的) muscles and neck and shoulder muscles.Focus on sitting tall and drawing air in，so the rib cage (胸腔) expands like an accordion while the stomach stays tense.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在现代生活中，很多人的坐立时间太长，这对健康的危害巨大。在专家看来，一些看起来微不足道的活动对健康很有益处。
32．What does the underlined word “obviate” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Preserve. B．Separate.
C．Prevent. D．Damage.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的条件状语从句的意思，并结合长时间坐立的坏处可以推知，画线词的意思是“阻止，防止”。
33．Christine Dery suggests getting off the elevator earlier in order to ．
A．get on another one B．climb some stairs
C．have a break D．take a bus
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句，再联系上下文的语境可知，提前从电梯上下来是为了爬几段楼梯，达到锻炼的目的。
34．What does Ben Gervais agree with?
A．You should get up as early as possible in the morning.
B．It is better to watch TV for 2 minutes every day.
C．Doing housework at home is a good habit.
D．Small activities can benefit you quite a lot.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段首句中的little moves matter可以推知，Ben Gervais认为一些小小的活动就很有益处。
35．How does the author prove his viewpoint?
A．By doing some experiments.
B．By listing some practical facts.
C．By stating some instructors' opinions.
D．By introducing some famous researchers.
解析：选C 写作手法题。作者在第二段提到他们向健身教练请教了一些建议，第三段到第五段的内容则展示了教练们的建议，故可推知，作者是通过介绍教练们的建议证明其观点的。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house.So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price.They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn't mind paying for it.After purchasing all they needed，they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home.The porter who came was of an old age，and looked very unhealthy，and his clothes were torn，and he looked as if he wasn't even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home.The old porter quoted just $20，well below the market price.Yet，the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15.The porter was struggling to make even one time's meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery.They reached their home and one hour passed，and two hours passed，but the porter still didn't deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband，“I always tell you not to trust such person，but you never listen to me.I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home，he must have disappeared with everything.We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market.On their way near the market，they saw another porter.They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him，“Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them.It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When the porter heard the angry wife asking，

参考范文：
When the porter heard the angry wife asking，he turned back.The porter replied，“Madam，please calm down.I'm not a thief.That poor old man has been sick since last month.He couldn't earn enough to even have a single meal of the day.Therefore，he fell down and handed me $15，saying，‘I have taken an advance for this delivery，and you deliver the goods to the couple's home.’ Madam，he is poor and hungry，but he is an honest man.I am just on the way to completing the old man's last delivery to your home.”
Upon hearing this，the husband had tears in his eyes，and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look at her husband in the eyes.Suddenly she rushed to the market.Half an hour later，the wife came back with some food in her hand.She passed the food on to the porter，and said sorry to the porter，saying that she shouldn't suspect them，and took them as thieves.At last，the porter took the goods to their house，and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter.

W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I'm in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighed 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.

Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879.He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old，his father gave him a compass.The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction — to the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.
Albert did not like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students could not ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
In 1905，Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine.They included one of the most important scientific documents in history.It explained what came to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity (相对论)”．Ten years later he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity”．
In 1921，he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.It was given to him not for his theories of relativity，but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect (光电效应).
Albert Einstein left Germany in 1933.He moved to the United States to continue his research.Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940.
Einstein was a famous man，but you would not have known that by looking at him.His white hair was long and wild.He wore old clothes.He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work.Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand.
Einstein spent the last twentyfive years of his life working on what he called a “unified field theory”. He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics.However，he did not succeed.
Albert Einstein died in 1955 at the age of seventysix.

We all know that water is tasteless.But it happens from time to time：you pick up the bottle of water you didn't finish yesterday，and it tastes strange.Most often，you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin，believing that the water has gone bad.But is it true?
According to Time，of course not，taste has little to do with quality of water.
According to Time，when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours，carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water，and the pH value lowers slightly.As a result，the water has a different taste.
“But it's most likely safe to drink，” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic.“If the water is covered and of good quality to start with，in principle it can last a thousand years.That's because when water is fresh，it contains little organic matter.As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles，no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US，the UK and Australia usually drink tap water.According to Time，if tap water is drunk within six months，the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However，there are also some exceptions.If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day，microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.
With the help of surrounding temperature，and sunlight streaming through windows，these microorganisms multiply quickly.Sooner or later，the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria.And if you drink the water too often，then you're more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination，US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses.When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures，they produce a chemical called BPA.BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage，including heart disease and cancer”，Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，没喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，但只要水质是好的，保存恰当不被细菌污染，是不会变坏的。
28．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．Show an example.
B．Draw a conclusion.
C．Analyze a phenomenon.
D．Introduce a topic.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，本段讲述昨天没有喝完的水味道有点怪，有人会把它扔掉，是因为认为水坏了，但这是真的吗？结合下文的内容可知，写第一段的目的就是引出下文的一个话题。
29．Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree?
A．If the water tastes different，we shouldn't drink it.
B．The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
C．Although kept fresh，water may still have much organic matter.
D．Covered water can last for a thousand years.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段Truls Krogh的话可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。
30．What can we infer from the passage?
A．BPA does little harm to our health.
B．Tap water is always safe to drink.
C．Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat.
D．Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四至第七段的内容可知，只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，就不会有污染物，都是安全可饮用的。但是一旦不小心弄脏了，可能会将微生物带入水里，在周围温度和阳光透过窗户的帮助下，这些微生物迅速繁殖，水迟早将会被细菌破坏。由此可推断出，微生物容易在高温下产生。
31．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Why Water Is Tasteless
B．How to Get Clean Water
C．Does Water Really Go Bad?
D．Learn to Protect Water
解析：选C 标题归纳题。本文的主旨在第一段，即在第一段讲述昨天没有喝完的水虽然味道有点怪，水质真的坏了吗？结论是味道会变，但是味道与水的质量没有多大关系。接着对这个问题But is it true？进行了大量的研究调查，证明只要水质好，保存在干净的容器内，不被污染都是安全可饮用的。由此可推断出C项(水真的会坏吗)符合题意。
D
We sit too much，and researchers are discovering that even working out in a gym several times a week won't necessarily obviate serious problems if we're sitting for the rest of the time.From weight problems to poor blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels，even early death，the message is clear：we need to stop sitting for hours at a time.What to do？“Move more，” say the experts.
So we asked three fitness instructors for their preferred exercises that don't require equipment and can be done throughout the day at home，in the office，in a hallway，waiting in line at a grocery store or watching TV.
“There are a lot of ways to build activities into a day，” says Ottawabased fitness instructor Christine Dery，who focuses her classes on core muscle strength and balance.She reminds her students to seek ways to move more outside class，such as getting off the bus or an elevator ride a few stops earlier，or doing calf raises，wall squats and wrist stretches while watching TV.“We need to make exercise an important part of our day，” she says.“It's about making yourself a priority.”
Ben Gervais，a parttime personal trainer and former kung fu instructor in Ottawa，thinks that little moves matter.“Moves like mowing the lawn，doing work around the house，going for a walk with the kids and playing with the kids can all count as activities as long as you get up and move.” He recommends spending the twominute TV commercial breaks doing wall squats，pushups and situps，or stepping up and down on a step.
Stott Pilates trainer and instructor Michele Carini says breathing can be an exercise working abdominal (腹部的) muscles and neck and shoulder muscles.Focus on sitting tall and drawing air in，so the rib cage (胸腔) expands like an accordion while the stomach stays tense.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在现代生活中，很多人的坐立时间太长，这对健康的危害巨大。在专家看来，一些看起来微不足道的活动对健康很有益处。
32．What does the underlined word “obviate” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Preserve. B．Separate.
C．Prevent. D．Damage.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的条件状语从句的意思，并结合长时间坐立的坏处可以推知，画线词的意思是“阻止，防止”。
33．Christine Dery suggests getting off the elevator earlier in order to ．
A．get on another one B．climb some stairs
C．have a break D．take a bus
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句，再联系上下文的语境可知，提前从电梯上下来是为了爬几段楼梯，达到锻炼的目的。
34．What does Ben Gervais agree with?
A．You should get up as early as possible in the morning.
B．It is better to watch TV for 2 minutes every day.
C．Doing housework at home is a good habit.
D．Small activities can benefit you quite a lot.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段首句中的little moves matter可以推知，Ben Gervais认为一些小小的活动就很有益处。
35．How does the author prove his viewpoint?
A．By doing some experiments.
B．By listing some practical facts.
C．By stating some instructors' opinions.
D．By introducing some famous researchers.

They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home.The old porter quoted just $20，well below the market price.Yet，the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15.The porter was struggling to make even one time's meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery.They reached their home and one hour passed，and two hours passed，but the porter still didn't deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband，“I always tell you not to trust such person，but you never listen to me.I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home，he must have disappeared with everything.We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market.On their way near the market，they saw another porter.They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart!

Upon hearing this，the husband had tears in his eyes，and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look at her husband in the eyes.Suddenly she rushed to the market.Half an hour later，the wife came back with some food in her hand.She passed the food on to the porter，and said sorry to the porter，saying that she shouldn't suspect them，and took them as thieves.At last，the porter took the goods to their house，and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter.
