6．"Slow City"-a recently launched project focused on preserving the traditional quality of life enjoyed in some of Italy's smaller cities and towns．The project was born from the idea of the"Slow Food"movement-started in Italy in the 1980s-which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local，healthy products to fight against the American fast-food style．
"The American urban model has invaded our cities，making Italian towns look the same．We want to stop this kind of globalization，"says Paolo Saturnini，an Italian mayor．
The"Slow City"project plans to emphasize the rich，cultural，culinary（廚房的） and artistic local traditions of each community．
Walking areas will be enlarged and squares and parks will be made greener with more plants．Car alarms and other noise that disturbs the peace will be banned，and ugly TV aerials（天線），advertising posters，and signs will be taken down．
City councils will also insist on the use of recycling and renewable energy sources，and will also introduce ecological transport systems．Parking will be made stress-free by creating more public parking areas，and easily accessible walkways and bike lanes will cross the city．But in the"Slow City"way，all improvements will probably come about slowly．
Thirty-two Italian city councils，which joined the"Slow City"program，have decided to take further steps in this direction by increasing the numbers of traditional family-style eating establishments，reducing noise pollution，and concentrating on making their towns friendlier for people to live in．
Organic local produce will be promoted in all restaurants and genetically modified foods（轉(zhuǎn)基因食品） will be banned．"We can't stop large，fast-food chains from coming here，but we hope that people who come to our towns will not want to eat exactly the same hamburger they can eat in Melbourne，London or Paris，but want something genuine and different，"said Saturnini．
67．According to the passage，the"Slow City"project aims atD．
A．preventing Italy from being affected by America
B．beautifying the environment of small Italian cities and towns
C．calling on Italians to enjoy stress-free life
D．protecting the traditional Italian lifestyle
68．From Paragraphs 4-5，we can infer thatC．
A．cars in"Slow City"will have to go slowly
B．people can park their cars free of charge in"Slow City"
C．"Slow City"will take on an environmentally friendly look
D．a(chǎn)dvertising in"Slow City"will be banned 
69．Further measures will be included in the"Slow City"program EXCEPTC．
A．cutting down noise pollution
B．stop genetically modified foods
C．getting more towns involved in the project
D．building more family-style restaurants
70．In Saturnini's opinion，when traveling in"Slow Cities"，visitorsD．
A．a(chǎn)ren't provided with fast food
B．will see few fast-food chains
C．can enjoy themselves like in London
D．can enjoy real Italian-style healthy food．

分析 文章大意：本文講述的是旨在保護本國文化的"Slow Food"movement活動．

解答 67．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段3，4，5行"Slow Food"movement-started in Italy in the 1980s-which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local，healthy products to fight against the American fast-food style．說明這個活動是為了保護意大利自己的文化不受美國快餐文化的影響，因此選D．
68．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)這兩段City councils will also insist on the use of recycling and renewable energy sources，和ar alarms and other noise that disturbs the peace will be banned，and ugly TV aerials（天線），advertising posters，and signs will be taken down都說明這樣的活動讓我們的城市有了很環(huán)保的外貌．因此答案選C．
69．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后兩段說明ABD這三項都是"Slow City"program所要采取的新的措施，只有C項沒有涉及，故C符合題目的要求．
70．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第三段The"Slow City"project plans to emphasize the rich，cultural，culinary（廚房的） and artistic local traditions of each community．說明意大利原有的有特殊的食物將會被保留下來，那么游客可以享有到這樣的食物．因此答案選D．

16．Have you ever wondered why our Easter celebrations include bunnies，brightly colored eggs，baskets filled with bite-size candy，and a banquet of ham or lamb？In fact，most of our Easter traditions are rooted in Christian faith and early religions．Here's a brief history lesson on customs．
Easter Bunny（復(fù)活節(jié)兔子）
The Easter Bunny-a．k．a(chǎn) Osterhase（German）or Oschter Haws（Dutch）-made its U．S．debut when German and Dutch settlers arrived in colonial Pennsylvania villages during the1700s．Pre-Christian Germans honored an Anglo-Saxon goddess，Eostre，who represented the rising of a new sun season．It's believed that she had a hare as a companion that represented fertility（生育力）and rebirth．
Easter Basket
Similar to the meaning of leaving cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve，children would leave homemade nests in which the Easter Bunny could lay its colored eggs．Over time，this tradition turned into decorated Easter baskets filled with fake grass，chocolate candy and jellybcans．
Easter Eggs
Christians（基督徒）don't eat meat and eggs for 40days in preparation for spiritual update．On Easter Sunday，red colored eggs decorated tables to promote the joy of a new season and represent Jesus'blood on the cross．The colored egg tradition may also have roots in spring festivals，in which eggs were decorated，colored and exchanged as celebrations of spring．
Ham
You know block-eyed peas bring luck on New Year's Day，but what if we told you a pig had much the same effect？The pig was considered a symbol of luck in pre-Christian Europe，and early Christians were said to have continued this tradition，making it the centre of meals on significant holidays like Christmas and Easter．
If we took a poll on eating ham or lamb on Easter，we'd likely be a country divided．

21．What does the passage mainly focus on？C
A．Easter presents．    
B．Easter beliefs．
C．Easter customs．
D．Easter food．
22．Why do people exchange colored eggs on Easter Festival？A
A．To welcome the coming of spring．
B．To attract visitors．
C，To decorate tables．
D．To invite Santa Claus．
23．What did"the pig"represent in pre-Christian Europe？B
A．Good effect．  
B．Luck．  
C．Old tradition．
D．Easter culture．

17．Poor weather．Technical difficulties．These are some of the typical causes of cancelled trains and planes．But sometimes，the excuse can be a lot more trivial．
Just recently，passengers waiting for a train to Peterborough heard the following announcement，"For reasons beyond our control，we regret to inform passengers that the 13：46 Train to Peterborough has been cancelled．The next train will be arriving on Platform in approximately 36 minutes．"
Oh，well，another delayed train，thought most passengers．But a couple of them decided to enquire further．Incredibly，they were informed that the real reason for the non-arrival of the train was that the driver refused to do his job because his seat was wet．
"A wet seat？That's got to be a joke，"said one passenger angrily．"I wouldn't normally complain if the train is just a bit delayed，but this was unbelievable，"he added．"What really made me angry is that this driver refused to get in the train，"said another passenger．"He probably went off for a cup of tea after that!"she added．
A spokesperson for the rail company apologized for the incident，but said the driver couldn't sit on the damp seat，and wouldn't be able to drive the train standing up．The spokesperson went on to explain that the seat had become wet after water entered through an open window when the train was being cleaned in a"train wash"．
In another transport-related incident，a flight from Chicago to Frankfurt made an emergency landing in Canada after the pilot spilled his coffee．Apparently，the spilt liquid caused the plane's radio to send out"transponder code 7500"，which is used to inform ground control that there's been a hi-jacking （劫機）．After landing in Toronto，the 255 passengers crew members were put up in a hotel for the night，then flown on to Frankfurt the following afternoon．"What a disgusting trip!"said one tired passenger after the painful experience had ended．
So，does your job have the potential to cause such disorder？
63．Why did the driver of the train refused to do his job？A
A．His seat was damp
B．His pay was low
C．The weather was terrible            
D．His coffee was spilled
64．The underlined word"trivial"in Paragraph 1 means"B"．
A．damp         B．unimportant     C．emergent      D．convincing
65．The flight made an emergency landing in Canada because"D"．
A．the plane was hijacked              
B．the plane engines went wrong
C．the pilot ran out of coffee        
D．the plane's radio sent out a wrong signal
66．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？C
A．Wet seat，Cancelled Train!
B．Spilled Coffee，Emergency Landing!
C．Small Incident，Big Disruptions!
D．Innocent Driver，Angry Passengers!

14．A team of US psychologists（心理學(xué)家） have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory．
"Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual （智力的） performance，"Oscar Ybarra，a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research，said in a statement．
In one investigation，they analyzed data on 3610people，aged 24to 96．
They found that the higher their level of social interaction（交流），the better their cognitive （認知的）functioning．Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives，freinds and neighbors．
In another experiment，the researchers conducted lab tests on 76college students，aged 18to 21，to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests．
The students were divided into three groups：the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10minutes before taking the tests； the intellectual activities group completed three tasks （including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle） before the tests； and a control group（對照組）watched a 10-minute clip（電影片段）of the Seinfeld television show．
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10minutes improved participants'intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called'intellectual'activities for the same amount of time，"Ybarra said．
The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin．

C．preventing                D．training
57．Which is not included in social interaction？C
A．Having a talk with a neighbor．
B．Attending a birthday party．
C．Watching TV at home alone．
D．Calling your classmates
58．What's the purpose of the experiment on 76college students？A
A．To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence．
B．To find out what is real social interaction．
C．To learn how much time is needed for social interaction．
D．To show the function of people's cognition．
59．Which of the following questions may be asked in the social interaction group in the experiment？B
A．What does the author want to show us？
B．Do you like living in a big city or a small one？
C．Which word can be used to fill in the blank？
D．What is the main idea of the second paragraph？
60．What's the main idea of the passage？D

1．A new study in West Africa shows how farm irrigationsystems powered by the sun can pro-duce more food and money for villagers． The study-in Benin found that solar-powered pumpsare effective in 8upplying water，especially during the long dry season．
    Sub-Saharan Africa is the part of the world with the least food security． The United Na-tions Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more"than one biillion of the world's peo-ple faced hunger last year．Around 265 million of them live'south of the Sahara Desert：Lack of  rainfallis one oftheir main causes offood shortages．．
    Jennifer Bumey from Stanford University in Califomia led the study．The research team helped build three solar-powered drip irrigation-（滴灌），systems in northem Benin． Between 30 and 35 women used each system to pump water from the ground or a stream．Each woman was responsible for farming her own 120 sqrurre meters of land． They also farmed other land  collectively．
    The solar-powered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two tons of vegetables per montb． During the first year，the women．kept a monthly average of almost rune kilograms of vegetables for home use．They sold the surplus produce at local markets． The eamings greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine months． Peo-ple in the'two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more servingsof yegetables per day．But making the surplus available at markets also had a wider effect．
    The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional methods like carrying water in buckets． The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also  increased，though not as much．The researchers note that only four percent of the croplamd in sub-Saharan Africa is irrigated． Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first． But    the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline，diesel  or kerosene． And solar power is environmentally friendly．
66．Food security in Sub-Saharan Africa is insufficient mainly because ofA
A．lack of rainfall                 B．limitation of farmland
C． a small crop variety            D．little sunLight
67．From the third paragraph we know that．B
A．water is wasted by using the system

D． the solar-powered systems take up more manpower
68．The underlined word"surplus"in the 4th paragraph most probably meansC
A．special       B．unnecessary    C．extra．     D．a(chǎn)bandoned
69．Usinf．solar power to pump water has advantages EXCEPT thatA
A．solar energy has higher cost at first
B．solar power helps to protect environment
C．solar power helps farmers increase eanungs
D． solar energy can be more economical in the long run
70．What can be the best title for the text？C

11．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy．That saying holds true not only for you and me，but also for some of the most powerful and influential people in the world，such as the presidents of the United States．
But how do American presidents spend their vacation time？Let's take a look!
Franklin D．Roosevelt，considered one of the greatest presidents in American history，had limited vacation options because of his polio（小兒麻痹癥）．He began visiting Warm Springs，Georgia in 1924 for its curative waters and later built a 2，000 acre polio treatment center nearby．He liked to cruise the Potomacon his yacht（游艇） and three times as president returned to his beloved Canadian island of Campobello，with which he fell in love as a kid．
Former President Bill Clinton，however，was never much good at vacationing．His staff had to practically force him to go on vacation his first year in office； his idea of relaxing was reading four good books simultaneously（同時） while enjoying a cigar （chewed，not smoked）．He could also lose himself in a game of golf，where his somewhat flexible interpretation of the rules could at times drive his partners crazy．
Obama's predecessor（前任） also knows how to relax．Fishing is in the Bush family DNA：for blue sharks off the coast of Maine or anything with fins，almost anywhere else．George W．Bush also relaxed as president by jogging and clearing brush on his Texas ranch．Since leaving office，he has become an active mountain biker and，more recently，has taken up painting．
Obama tends to take a winter break in Hawaii，where he was born and raised，and a summer vacation in Martha's Vineyard，off the southern coast of Cape Cod，Massachusetts．In between，he plays basketball every couple of weeks and has been known to do some skeet shooting at Camp David．Obama's favorite pastime，no matter the location，has become easy to spot：golf．
71．What's the passage mainly about？A
