__1.__  To begin with，cleaner environment，enjoying the game with hundreds of sports athletes and entertainment stars，and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world seem exciting to the citizens._ 2.__  In most cases，bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.

Unfortunately，this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If looking from another angle，the Olympic bid might bring about some side­effects to a city.

__3.__  It includes the increasing pollution of cars，more pressure on water resources，huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities，which are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets，some trees may have to be cut. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centers or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource­limited and crowded city in a third­world country.

Besides，if not well managed and organized，the big event may not be so beneficial，and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games.__ 4.__

Finally，let’s think about the low­income groups in the city.__ 5.__ More tax，more fees，more expensive property prices，and higher cost of living. These definitely are not good news for them.

A．Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city.

B．We can only benefit from it for a short time.

C．What will they get from the Olympics bidding?

D．First of all，it will bring a lot of environmental problems.

E．There are many reasons for not hosting the Olympic Games.

F．There have been cases that host cities ended up with large debts.

G．Besides，it will definitely promote the emotion and pride in local people.

試題分析：本文講述了一個(gè)城市舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)的優(yōu)勢(shì)和存在的危險(xiǎn)。告訴我們要綜合考慮各方面的問題。

1.A 整個(gè)文章第一段內(nèi)容可知都是在講述一個(gè)城市舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)的好處。故A項(xiàng)符合上下文。

2.G 根據(jù)本段第一行To begin with，說明列舉的是部分事實(shí)。接下來，應(yīng)該是另外一部分舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)的好處，使用besides串聯(lián)起來。故G項(xiàng)符合上下文。

3.D 根據(jù)下一句It includes the increasing pollution of cars，more pressure on water resources，huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities說明講述的是舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)帶來的環(huán)境方面的問題。故D項(xiàng)符合上下文語境。

4..F 推理題。根據(jù)前句if not well managed and organized，the big event may not be so beneficial，and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games可知如果管理不善。很多城市不但不會(huì)得到好處，很多設(shè)施后來都被閑置。城市陷入了債務(wù)之中。故F項(xiàng)符合上下文。

5.C 根據(jù)前句let’s think about the low­income groups in the city.可知要我們考慮城市里的那些低收入的群體。他們會(huì)從奧運(yùn)會(huì)里得到什么樣的好處。故C項(xiàng)符合上下文。

Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered… Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.

Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people’s health is the amount of education they have.

In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United states census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.

“We looked at life expectancy(預(yù)測(cè)壽命) at age 25,” Meara says.

“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you’ve reached aged 25 and you’ve gone on to at least some college…”

Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25-year-old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.

In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.

Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people have made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.

Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.

“I think it’s a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn’t always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that’s something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”

Meara points out that education can often determine income---people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.

Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(財(cái)富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.　　     

Speaking about health, I can’t help telling you a funny story.　　

An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.　   

He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.　　

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.　　

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

1.The writer thinks that 　　　　.

A.        health is more important than wealth

2.. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do 　　　　.

A. without examining the patient

B. after he has examined the patient

D. unless the patient feels pain

3. The underlined part means “　　　　”.

A. he will be well again            B. he wasn’t a healthy man

C. he was feeling worse than before   D. he was feeling better than ever

A. didn’t smoke                  B. has smoked so much

C. was a heavy smoker             D. began to learn to smoke
