19.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry(渴求資源的).Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球場(chǎng))in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.
You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be"green gyms".They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports ten-tern.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it's free.

29.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A
A.Cycling around a lake.
B.Driving a car on the street.
C.Playing basketball in a gym.
D.Swimming in a sports center.
30.What do we know about golf from Paragraph 2?C
A.It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B.It causes water shortage around the world.
C.It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
D.It protects the earth with chemicals and wastes.
31.The author uses power walking as an example mainly becauseC
A.it is an outdoor sport         B.it improves our health
C.it uses fewer resources        D.it is recommended by experts
32.The author writes the passage toD
A.show us the function of major sports
B.introduce different types of environment-friendly sports
C.discuss the major influence of popular sports
D.encourage us to go in for green sports.

16.Life is difficult.
    It is great truth because once we truly understand and accept it,then life is no longer difficult.
 Most do not fully see this truth.Instead,they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their familie s,their class,or even their nation.
 What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.Problems,depending on their nature,cause us sadness,loneliness or regret or anger and fear.These are uncomfortable feelings,often as painful as any kind of physical pain.And since life causes an endless series of problems,life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet,it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit,we encourage the human ability to solve problems,just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.As Benjamin Franklin said,"Those things that hurt instruct."It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
25.From the passage,it can be inferred thatB.
A.everybody has problems
B.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life
C.life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D.people like to complain about their problems
26. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph toD.
A.save space              
B.persuade readers
C.makes readers laugh     
D.get readers'attention

A.most people feel life is easy    
B.the writer feels life is easy
C.the writer likes to complain about his problems
D.most people complain about how hard their lives are
28. According to the passage,we give schoolchildren difficult problems to solve in order toA.

20.Air is an odorless (無(wú)氣味的),invisible (看不見(jiàn)的) gas that surrounds the earth.It is everywhere on the planet.An"empty"drinking glass and an"empty"room,to give two examples,are not really empty.Each is filled with air.When the glass is filled with water,the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air,as a gas,has no definite (明確的) shape,but,because it is matter,it takes up space.It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space.Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom(底部) of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down.Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered.When the glass is taken out of water,the handkerchief will be dry.The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
29.What does the underlined word"Stuff"(in Paragraph 2)mean?A
A.Press tightly.
B.Take out.
C.Put down.
D.Turn fully.
