18、he amount of calories they burn. Besides, charting out ideal running routes in cities has become a popular topic of discussion among runners.But apart from physical fitness and stress-relief, there are other reasons why running has become so popular in China. (28)_ an activity becomes fashion, says
19、Liao, it has to satisfy peoples psychological needs .The commute from home to office and back, or a drive to a shopping mall, has become routine in todays concrete jungles. Living in rooms (29)_ (equip) with air conditioners, many people dont even feel the changes in the season. We are moving farthe

And a pair of running shoes and perseverance are (32)_ one needs to become a runner and embrace nature.BAmericans are living longer, with our average life span longer than 78 years, up from less than 74 years in 1980. But we are not necessarily living (3
22、3) _(healthy). The incidence of a variety of chronic diseases, (34) _diabetes and heart disease, has also been growing dramatically, especially among people who are not yet elderly.The mix of those two developments (35) _(lead) to what some researchers have 4identified as a “lengthening of morbidity
23、(病态)”. (36) _means we are spending more years living with chronic disease and ill health-not the outcome that most of us would hope for from a prolonged life span.But a notable new study published in Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that a little advance planning could change that prospect.

27、oderatelyThis past National Day holiday saw upwards of half a billion Chinese citizens travelling. While some flew off to international destinations, the _41_ majority enjoyed the many tourist sites that China has to offer. If you were one of those people who decided to explore Chinas scenic spots,
28、you probably realized that it isnt just the mountain steps that are steep-the entrance fees are, too!The average cost of the highest _42_ 5A attractions is 109 yuan. This could prove to be a little too steep for some families, who find themselves spending too large a portion of their holiday budget
29、on admission tickets. The 32 5A locations that upped their prices in the past five years experienced an average _43_ of over 40 percent. The bad news is that these prices are expected to continue to rise. So how does Chinas situation compare to other parts of the world? The average fees for cultural
30、 and historical sites seem to be on par with(与同价) international _44_. Its quite another story, however, when you compare natural wonders. For example, the cost of a ticket to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park(张家界国家森林公园) hovers around 245 yuan for a three-day tour. This seems _45_ high when you consid
31、er that a week long pass to Americas Yellowstone National Park (黄石国家公园)is a mere 74 yuan. There are _46_ benefits to increased revenue(收益) from ticket sales, which support necessary _47_, maintenance and operation costs. This is especially important for sites that must keep visitor numbers down in o
32、rder to protect the natural environment. However, it must also be _48_ that many of Chinas tourist attractions are operated by private companies who are ultimately protecting their bottomline(盈亏底线 ).While the government has put some _49_ in place, such as only allowing entrance fees to be raised onc
33、e every three years, they have not _50_ the upper limit of ticket prices and 5increases. Further measures to settle the dispute are being considered. In the meantime, some families are forced to re-think if some attractions are really worth the costs.III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions:
34、For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even wo
35、rse, it _51_ our kids.Al Gore famously _52_ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, _53_ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.When _54_ with these
36、exaggerations（夸大）, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.This _55_ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry
37、 less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, _56 _, on global warmings impact on malaria (疟疾)-which will put slightly more people at _57_ in 100 years - instead of dealing with the half a billion people _58_from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that ar
38、e much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.Exaggeration also wears out the publics _59_to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the new
39、s media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A _60_ of people now believe incorrectly that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the _61_ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post c
40、ited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal _62_ from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are _63_effective outlets for their eight-year-olds concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, _64_ to
41、common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half- century, to about 22,000. _65_ the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose th
45、e one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just readAAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by ourenvironment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. Tosome extent our intelligence is
46、given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a geniusout of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are
47、 fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people,
48、the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually
