until at least 80.One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better.We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure ourbodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what todotoget better again.And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep ourheartsbeating healthily。But in order that we don t slip back into bad habits。lets have a look at what life waslike100 years ago。Families had between l5 and 20 children,although many babies didnt live long。Childrensuffered from lots of diseases，especially rickets（(佝偻病）and scurvy（坏血病)，which areboth caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not able to:feedtheir children well。Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester oftensleptstanding up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.People didnt have fridges until the l920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills（窗台板）,blocks of ice，or even burying it in the garden.Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents。Ifyou had lived l00 years ago,you might well be selling matchsticks（火柴杆）（a jobdone by manychildren）or working with your dad by now。16on average women lived longer than men l00 years ago.A RightB WrongC Not

aids to trade。By moving goods from places where they are plentifultoplaces wherethey are scarce,transport adds to their value。The more easily goods canbebrought over the distance that separates producer and consumer,the better for trade。Whenthere were no railways,no good roads,no canals，and only small sailing ships,trade was onasmall scale。2 The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompaniedby abig increase in trade。Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between。Britain and New Zealand,for instance。Quicker transport makes possible mass-production andbigbusiness，drawing supplies from,and selling goods to,all parts of the globe。Big factoriescouldnot exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and fromtheirhomes。Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily fromthesuburbs and goods delivered to their homes。Big cities could not survive unless food could bebrought from a distance。3 Transport also prevents waste。Much of the fish landed at the ports wouldbe wasted if it couldnot be taken quickly to inland towns。Transport has given US a much greater,variety offoods andgoods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally。Foods which at one timecould be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year。Transport has raised the standard of living。4 By moving fuel,raw materials，and even power,as，for example，through electric cables,transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have beenimpossible before.Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can dobetter and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another。The cheaperand quicker transport becomes,the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried.Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living。5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messagesand information.Means of communication,like telephones，cables and radio，send informationabout prices,supplies,and changing conditions in different parts of the world.In this way,advanced communication systems also help to develop trade.23 Paragraph 2 _24 Paragraph 3 _25 Paragraph 4 _26 Paragraph 5 _A Higher living

more rewarding than revenge.Thepurpose isnot to harm your victims but to let them know thatyou are upset about somethingthat they aredoing to you。Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome coworkers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members。Coworkers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late forwork can be taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day。Beforethesun comes up,drive to each coworkers house。Reach under the hood of yourcoworkerscar and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor cap,the car will beunharmed,but it will not start，and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day.Ifyoure lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trapeither male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that youwant toget is male，leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house laterthat day.With any luck,her boyfriend will be there。The girl wont know whats going on,andthe victimwill be so embarrassed that he probably wont leave his home for a month.When Morn and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you，harmlessrevenge may be just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is alikelyplace.Just before the meal begins，throw a handful of raisins into the food。Wait aboutfiveminutes and,after everyone has begun to eat，cover your mouth with your handand begin tomake odd noises。When they ask you what the matter is，point to a raisin and yell,Bugs!”They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car，and head for McDonalds.Thatnight，youll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone。The object is simply to letotherpeople know that they are beginning to bother you。31According to the passage，a harmless revenge is _。A to amuse the victimB to react to those who bother youC to prevent one from disturbing othersD to hurt nobody emotionally32 As a harmless revenge，you might come first and get a raise by _.A making your colleagues come lateB getting up earlier than your colleaguesC destroying your colleagues carsD pleasing your boss33 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the second example?_。A The girl received a phony message。B The victim was invited by the girl。C The girl managed to revenge the victim harmlessly。D The girl wasnt expecting the victim.34 The family members dumped their food in the disposal because _.A they thought their food had been spoiledB they wanted to eat outC they wanted to have a peaceful mealD they didnt like the food with raisins35 The main topic of the passage is how to _.A avoid nagging familymembersB silence gossiping friendsC make a harmless revengeD deal with bothersome coworkers第二篇第二篇 The Only Way Is UpThe Only Way Is UpThink of a modem city and the first image that come to mind is the skyline。It is full of greatbuildings，pointing like fingers to heaven。It is true that some cities dont permit buildings to goabove a certain height。But these are cities concerned with the past.The first thing any city doeswhen it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers.When people gather together in cities，they create a demand for land.Since cities are placeswhere money is made,that demand can be met。And the best way to make money out of city landis to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground.Thatmeans building upwards.The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century。But the height of buildingswas limited by one important factor。They had to be small enough for people on the top floors toclimb stairs.People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work,or home。Elisha Otis，a US inventor,was the man who brought us the liftor elevator,as hepreferred to call it.However，most of the technology is very old.Lifts work using the samepulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids.What Otis did was attach the system to asteam engine and develop the elevator brake，which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold itup are broken.It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention。In fact,he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds,giving people the chance to trythem outbefore selling the idea to architects and builders。A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now.Going in a lift is such an everydaything that it would just be boring.Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior findlifts fascinating。The reason is simple。Scientists have always studied animals in zoos。Thenearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts。”It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around withus-and you just cant choose to move away，says workplace psychologist，Gary Fitzgibbon.Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions,he says。Some people arescared of them.Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss。Some stand close tothe door。Others hide in the comers。Most people try and shrink into the background.But somebehave in a way that makes others notice them.There are a few people who just stand in a comertaking notes。Dont worry about them.They are probably from a university.36.”.。these are cities concerned with the past”in the first paragraph refer to cities thatA）are worried about their past。B）have a glorious past to be proud of。C)want to maintain their traditional image。D）are very interested in their own history.37。The difficulty in constructing tall buildings in the 19th century lies inA）the shortage of money.B）the lack of a device to carry people upward。C）backward technology。D）mountains taking up land space.38。When Otis came up with the idea of a lift，A)he sold it to the architects and builders immediatelyB）the Egyptians used it to build the Pyramids。C）it was accepted favorably by the public。D）most people had doubt about its safety.39。Which of the following best describes the experience of going in a lift now?A）Fascinating.B）Uninteresting。C)Frightening.D）Exciting.40.Psychologists find the lift a good place where they can study human behaviour becauseA）here humans behave the way animals do。B）people in a lift are all scared.C)here some people take notes.D）in a lift the bubble of personal space breaks。第三篇第三篇Sino-Japan Animosity LessensSino-Japan Animosity LessensChinese and Japanese people view each
