  Things similar continuously happened in Haiti and Chile．Thousands of people were

buried in the earthquake and lost their fives．What if we could have warned them? People are always trying hard to find a way of preventing building collapsing(坍塌)．Better materials and technology help，but are not a solution．Just like humans，a building has its own life circle from  “birth” to “death”．If we know when a building is going to collapse，we can repair it in advance or get out before it falls．

    Now, scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks．The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes，or bridge supports．The secret behind the color-changing material is a type of molecule(分子)．A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds(化學(xué)鍵)．Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle，holding hands．Each person stands for one atom，your hands represent the bonds，and the entire circle represents a molecule．If one person lets go of his or her hands，the molecule changes color．The research team put the molecule into a soft material．When the researchers stretched(拉長(zhǎng)) the material：it turned bright red a few seconds before it broke into two pieces．

When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material，without breaking it，it only turned a little red．

The major problem is，light can get rid of the red color．When the team shone a bright light on the molecule，the broken bond was fixed，and the color disappeared．If bright fight keeps the red color from appearing，the material’s warning system will be useless．Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color-changing molecule can be used outside the lab．

The passage mainly about

A. a way of preventing building from breaking down

B. a series of earthquakes in Haiti and Chile

C. a way of warning before buildings collapse

D. a newly-discovered structure of a molecule

According to the passage，we can conclude that

A．there are problems to solve before putting the new material to use

B．scientists have found the life circle of buildings from “birth” to “death”

C．bright fight makes the red color visible to human eyes

D．the new material is unlikely to be used in building bridges

The color-changing molecule can

A．make building materials much stronger

B．help building materials get stretched if necessary

C．prevent the earthquake from killing people

D．remind people to leave buildings before they fall

The warning system is based on the fact that

A．red color won’t show up when it meets bright fight

B．a(chǎn) material with a certain type of molecule Can turn red when stretched etched

C．a(chǎn) building has its own life circle of “birth” to “death”

D．the broken bond will fix itself when a molecule meets bright fight

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch (從頭開(kāi)始 )? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were surprising.

About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents (回答者) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school. 

    Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and obviously their pets too.

"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic of tasks."

And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

The results pose (對(duì)... 提出) serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1.For the interest of country people should         .    

A. continue watching the same channel rather than get up to get the remote control

B. carry out even the most basic of tasks

C. get enough exercise to get fitter

D. admit they do not get enough exercise

2.Which of the following statements agrees with British people?  

A. They are fond of climbing the stairs.

B. They are willing to accompany their children.

C. They like sports and get enough exercise.

D. They are suffering from obesity-related illnesses.

3.What does the word "idle" in paragraph 2 mostly probably mean?   

A. active               B. lazy              C. optimistic      D. pessimistic

4.Which country is the writer most likely to come from?

A. America              B. China             C. U.K             D. France 

5. What's the main idea of the passage?   

A. UK is taking measures to get over laziness.

B. How lazy British people are.

C. British people are suffering from laziness.

D. Challenges for the National Health Service.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：20102011江西寧岡高一下學(xué)期期中英語(yǔ)試題 題型：閱讀理解

I first visited hutong as part of a tourist group several years ago. We rode on a trishaw（腳踏三輪車(chē)） with a guide explaining the history, architecture and lifestyle of the local inhabitants.

Having visited the "must-sees" of Beijing, like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Drum Tower and the Summer Palace, going into the hutong home of some famous ancient families gave the “Beijing experience” a human element.

My curiosity has sharpened over the years from reading about them at every opportunity. During the preparation for the Olympics I was eager to learn that some siheyuan courtyards in hutong were turned into accommodations（食宿） for visitors. I wished to stay in one someday.

Preparing for a recent trip to the capital, I eagerly sought one out. On my limited teacher’s salary, I settled on an affordable option, though I looked longingly at the more upscale courtyard accommodations.

As usual, I ended up having something closer to a true experience. A real family still lives in the courtyard, which is closer to the original. The rooms all opened into the central courtyard. Flowers were blooming, beans and peas were climbing up the bamboo fence, and the cat was napping in the sun. Every day after exploring the city, I'd hurry back to the hutong, take a quick shower and join the cat – snoozing（小睡） in a bamboo-made chair with a book ready nearby.

As the other guests came back we’d greet one another. There was a mother and young daughter from France, a guy from Canada, a mother and teenage daughter from the Netherlands, a teacher from England and several guests from various parts of China.

Coming and going through the narrow alleys（小巷） of the hutong, the residents would smile and give cheery “ni hao” （hello）. Laughing children were playing under the watchful eyes of the neighbors. I felt right at home in this friendly neighborhood.

1. The main idea of the passage is about ______________.

   A. hutong days realize my desires to live local life

   B. Trishaw is the only way to visit the hutong

   C. living in the hutong with other visitors

   D. exploring the deeper of Beijing

2.When did the author have the idea to visit Beijing hutong?

   A. As early as he was a little child

   B. when he was reading the text books at school

   C. during the preparation for the Olympics

   D. the author doesn’t mention it specifically  

3. The underlined word “upscale” in the fourth paragraph means _________.

   A. inexpensive    B. high-class    C. appropriate    D. secondary

4. What is the impression of the author about the people in hutong?

   A. They came from all over the world.

   B. They all wanted to enjoy the old life of Beijing.

   C. They are living together in harmony.

   D. They are living in a heavenly peace life.

They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed．A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored （政府資助的） youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies．

    “We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said．

    After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12．3 million people, and the number is climbing．
