1.Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch?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 lazy 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 astonishing.
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 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 (very fat) 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 evidently 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 rudimentary of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was shamed as the most inactive 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 cause 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.
61.What causes children in the UK to be obese?D
A.Eating ready meal                                  
B.Watching TV
C.Doing Internet shopping                              
D.Being lazy
62.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.British people are too lazy to do anything.
B.Internet shopping will do harm to your health.
C.Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.
D.People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.
63.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A
A.One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.
B.People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.
C.Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
D.More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.
64.What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?A
A.basic                B.serious                C.vital                  D.hard
65.All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK exceptC.
A.Glasgow          B.Birmingham          C.Nuffield           D.Southampton.

9.When it comes to success in business and success in life,there are few qualities as important as confidence.
People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidence than others do,but even those whose confidence is lacking can leam to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be,for instance,to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all,if you are unsure about your own abilities,how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise,having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are certain of your abilities,chances are that those around you,whether they are your coworkers,your colleagues or your superiors,will see that confidence,and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to,and being seen as an expert in your chosen field,is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice,you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing.After all,if you are a recognized expert at the office,you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Having a high level of confidence,after all,does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve.Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.
63.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.The influence of confidence on one's life.
B.The importance of confidence to success.
C.The difference of people's confidence.
D.The judgment on one's confidence.
64.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to thoseA

D.who dream to be recognized experts

A.important                       
B.a(chǎn)ttractive          
C.outgoing

6.People are overweight for many reasons,the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods,get the wrong types of calories per meal,and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day.Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill,because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat.This is true because your body is like an engine,and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(間隔) each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陳代謝) will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust itself by burning fewer calories each day.That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight,while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today's society are buying mostly low-fat or non-fat food at the grocery store.Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy.However,people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this.They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things.One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods,such as fruit and vegetables,eat them at the right time,and exercise every d ay.If people make this a habit,they will lose weight.
25.What is the main reason why people are overweight?A
A.They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.
B.They eat food with lots of calories.
C.They don't take weight loss pills.

13.English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mails are in English.Of all languages,English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.
   However,let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant,neither pine nor apple in a pineap ple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy,while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet,are meat.
   We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾),we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square,public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes,but fingers don't fing,grocers don't groce,and hammers don't ham?If the plural (復(fù)數(shù)形式) of tooth is teeth,shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?One goose,two geese-so one moose,two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,while a wise man and a wise guyare opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites,while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects the creativity of human beings.That's why,when stars are out,they are visible; but when the lights are out,they are invisible.And why,when I wind up my watch,I start it; but when I wind up this essay,I end it.
25.According to the passageB.
A.there should be eggs in an eggplant 
B.sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different
C.pineapples are the apples on the pine tree     
D.boxing rings should be round

A.somebody wise                    
B.a(chǎn) valuable chance

10.Are you truly happy?Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness?(31)D.The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.
Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy.Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.
Surround yourself with happy people.It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way.(32)B
When something goes wrong,try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity.Truly happy people don't allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.
(33)E.These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.
(34)G.Whether you treat yourself to lunch,take a long,relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance,you will be subconsciously (下意識(shí)地) putting yourself in a better mood.
Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness.Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.
Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.(35)C

A.What makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy.
B.On the contrary,if you are around people who are happy,their emotional state will be influenced.
C.Being overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood.
D.These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.
E.Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.
F.There are some tips in life that lead to happiness.
G.It's also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.
