7、A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe．Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving airport hundreds of passengers stuck in airports．

       Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe．What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier（冰川） of ice up to 12 maters thick．The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano．This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable, As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts．The lava（巖漿） from the volcano then comes up to the surface．This is exactly what happened today．

       Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash．According to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it．Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane．

       The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland．The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside．Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash-covered grass or the sharp object．

1．What makes Grimsvotn different from other volcanoes?

       A．It is below ice．                     B．It lies under the sea

4．This text is most probably taken from_________．

6、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．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 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 20 minutes 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 centers．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．

5、“Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another, For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things．Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time．

       Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration．Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%．Garlic is good for you, too．It can kill the type of virus that causes colds．

       Unfortunately, not all of Mom’ s advice passed the test of medical studies, For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating．But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so．Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no．Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars．

       Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales．After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years of experience in family health care．We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false．

1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the test?

       A．Eating garlic is good for our eyes．

       B．Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth．

       C．Dissatisfied                                       D．Curious

4、Divorce is bad for environment

       US researchers raised a new theory on Monday: divorce is bad for the environment．

       The global trend toward higher divorce rates has created more households with fewer People，scientists at Michigan State University reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．

       More households means more houses，fuel and water are Heeded for them，the researchers  wrote．“Globally，the number of households is increasing much faster than the number of people，”said co-author “Jack” Liu in a telephone interview．“Even in regions with declining population, we see substantial increase in the number of households．Divorce is the main reason for reducing the number of people in a household,” he said．

The average divorced person’s household is about 40 to 50 percent smaller than the average married person’s household, Liu said．But whether there are three or six people in a house ,the amount of fuel needed to heat them is about the same．In the United States, divorced households used 74 billion kilowatt—hours of electricity and 2．850 trillion liters of water in 2005, half of which could have been saved if households had stayed the same size as when they were married．

       In the United States and 11 other countries between 1998 and 2002, if divorced households had combined to have the same average household size as married households, there could have been 7．4 million fewer households．

The number of divorced households in those countries ranged from 40,000 in Costa Rica to almost 16 million in the United States around 2000．The number of rooms per person in divorced households was 33 percent to 95 percent greater than in married households．

“If you really want to get divorced, maybe you can remarry with somebody else, or live together with somebody else you like”, Liu said．

1．In America when the number of households is        , the number of people in a house is      ．

       A．increasing, decreasing                          B．decreasing, increasing

       C．increasing, increasing                           D．decreasing, decreasing

2．What does the word “substantial” in the third paragraph mean?

       A．Great                  B．Little                   C．Sudden               D．Timely

3．How much electricity would have been saved without so many people getting divorced in America in 2005?

       A．7．4 million kilowatt-hours                   B．16 million kilowatt-hours

       C．37 billion kilowatt-hours                       D．a(chǎn)bout 30 billion kilowatt-hours

4．The last paragraph is the writer’s        for people．

       A．a(chǎn)dvice            B．encouragement          C．demand               D．order
