　　Drinking Water

　　Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs (虫子), which can cause illness. A

　　small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages,

　　which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to

　　it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Patton, who started

　　Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British

　　water company.

　　Andy Headland, Genera's marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in

　　the USA and forecasted good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests

　　at $42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25

　　tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved

　　by the government.

　　Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it

　　now employs 14. Mr. Headland believes that the company should make around $19 million

　　by the end of the year in the UK alone.

　　Hints for Reading Practice

　　1 Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some regular activity. For

　　example, one famous surgeon always spent 15 minutes reading something before he went to

　　sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2:30 a.m. made no difference.

　　2 "Speed Reading" courses teach students how to read more quickly. In such

　　courses,teachers often ask students to find out how many words a minute he is reading. You

　　can do this too: look at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and write down the page number

　　you have reached.

　　3 Obviously, you should not increase your reading speed if you do not understand what you

　　are reading. If you find something you don't understand in the book, or you cannot

　　remember clearly the details of what is said, why not read the chapter again?

　　4 Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading now. Read these

　　pages as fast as you can. Don't worry about whether you understand or not. If you keep

　　doing this"lightning speed" reading for a period of time, you will usually find that your

　　normal speed has increased.

　　5 Most paragraphs in an article have a topic sentence that expresses the central idea. The

　　opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the article, while

　　paragraphs that follow expand or support the first. The closing paragraph often gives a

　　summary of the most important points of the article.

　　(31) 根据下面材料，回答题。

　　Outside-the-Classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference

　　Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser

　　surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be

　　given to children in need of medical care, you might call the idea.crazy.

　　Most student leaders don't want to spend a large amount of time on something they care

　　little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the

　　Dance Marathon's operations officer for two years.

　　Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of

　　Wisconsin,conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations.

　　She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.

　　At large universities like Fangmeyer's, which has more than 40,000 students, the students

　　first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".

　　Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey's findings. "I wanted to make the

　　campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on

　　campus but also find a group of friends."

　　All of this tall of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren't thinking about

　　their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to 'fatten up their resume'," said Heitner.

　　"At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get

　　a start in my leadership roles."

　　But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms

　　that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up for

　　an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had

　　to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather,

　　and dealing with the university's complicated bureaucracy.

　　"Outside-of-the-classroom-learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.

　　An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student

　　leaders____________.

　　A: are lazy

　　B: are stupid

　　C: are not rich enough

　　D: will not take an interest in it

　　答案:D

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：像募集30万美元之类的课外活动有点冒险，这是因为多数学生领导_________。答案可以从第二段的第一句话中找到。第一句话是这么说的 ：绝大多数学生并不想在他们不感兴趣的事上花大量的时间。

　　(32) American students join campus organizations mostly for____________.

　　A: making a difference

　　B: gaining experience

　　C: building friendship

　　D: improving their resumes

　　答案:C

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：美国学生参加校园组织的主要目的是__________。答案可以从第三段找到。第三段是这么说的 ：威斯康星大学学生组织办公室主任Yvonne Fangmeyer在2月组织了一次学生参加校园组织的调查。她说，寻求友谊是最常见的理由。

　　(33) Who is Katie Rowley?

　　A: She's a senior professor.

　　B: She's a senior student.

　　C: She's a senior official.

　　D: She's a senior citizen.

　　答案:B

　　解析: 细节题。题干 ：Katie Rowley是谁?文章提到了好几个人，Katie Rowley是其中的一个。第五段说Katie Rowley是a Wisconsin senior(威斯康星大学四年级学生)。

　　(34) What do student leaders need to carry an activity through to a successful end?

　　A: Passion.

　　B: Money.

　　C: Power.

　　D: Fame.

　　答案:A

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：为了把一项活动顺利地贯彻到底，学生领袖需要什么?答案可以从倒数第二段找到。第一句话是这么说的 ：但是，如果没有激情(passion)，学生领袖经受住急风暴雨的考验是会有困难的。

　　(35) The phrasal verb "fatten up" in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by____________.

　　A: invent

　　B: rewrite

　　C: polish

　　D: complete

　　答案:C

　　解析: 词汇题。题干 ：哪个词替换第六段中的fatten up最合适?fatten up原意是“使人或动物变肥”，在这里可以解释为使一个人的履历更充实一些，因此也好看一些。因此意思上最接近的是polish(润色)。

　　Shopping at Second-hand Clothing Stores

　　When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second-hand clothing stores was

　　just something he did-"like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget and

　　decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops.

　　"Even new clothes are fairly disposable (可丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of

　　years,"Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than

　　new clothes."

　　Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found

　　that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people, like

　　him,shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means

　　of conserving energy and helping the environment.

　　Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that,

　　for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.

　　"When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said. "Also, why pay 30

　　dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"

　　Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US-- "some as big as department stores". All of

　　the clothes are donated (捐赠), and when they have a surplus (盈余). They'll have "stuff a

　　bag"specials where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.

　　Julia Slocum,22, points cut, however, that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the

　　US is the result of American wastefulness.

　　"I'd say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said

　　Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization, the Center for a New American

　　Dream.

　　"Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场); they give clothing a

　　second life, provide cheaper clothing for those who can't afford new ones and generate

　　(生成) income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to

　　shed (摆脱) some of the guilt for their level of consumption."

　　Which statement about Barth is NOT true?

　　A: He is 33 years old now.

　　B: He works at a Goodwill thrift shop.

　　C: He was a college student many years ago.

　　D: He works at a Salvation Army thrift shop.

　　答案:D

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：下列关于Barth 的叙述哪项是不正确的?选项中出现两个工作地点，由文章第三段得知，Barth在B选项所说的地方工作，很显然，正确答案为D。

　　(37) When Barth was a college student he often shopped at thrift shops__________.

　　A: to save enemy

　　B: to save money

　　C: to help the environment

　　D: to make friends with poor people

　　答案:B

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：上大学的时候，Barth经常在廉价旧货店买东西__________。文章第一段就讲当Barth在大学的时候他经常在廉价fEt货店买东西是为了省钱，因此正确答案为B。

　　(38) What does Akins do?

　　A: She is an accountant.

　　B: She is a soldier.

　　C: She is a saleswoman.

　　D: She is a road sweeper.

　　答案:A

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：Akins是做什么的? 由专有名词Akins定位到第四段中的“Akins在佛罗里达救世军廉价旧货店做会计”，因此A为正确答案。

　　(39) Thrift shops can do everything EXCEPT__________.

　　A: give clothing a second life

　　B: generate income for charities

　　C: stop rich people from wasting money

　　D: provide cheaper clothes for the poor

　　答案:C

　　解析:

　　细节题。题干 ：廉价旧货店可以做任何事情，除了__________。文章第八段提到廉价旧货店可以防止浪费，给衣服第二次生命，为穷人提供便宜的衣物，做慈善。因此C(停止富人的浪费行为)为正确答案。

　　(40) The word "thrift" in Paragraph 1 could be best replaced by

　　A: one dollar

　　B: charity

　　C: first class

　　D: two dollars

　　答案:B

　　解析:

　　词汇题。题干 ：第一段中“thrift”一词可被__________代替?thrift的意思是“节俭，节约”，因此选择B(慈善，宽厚)。

　　Exercise Lowers Employers' Health Costs

　　Companies can save millions in health-care costs simply by encouraging their employees to

　　exercise a little bit, researchers reported on Friday.

　　They said obese (肥胖的) employees had higher health-care costs, but lowered those

　　expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week, without even losing any weight.

　　Feifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23,500 workers at

　　General Motors.

　　They estimated that getting the most sedentary (惯于久坐的) obese workers to exercise

　　would have saved about $790,000 a year, or about 1.5 percent of health-care costs for the

　　whole group,Company-wide. The potential savings could reach $7.1 million per year, they

　　reported in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

　　Of the whole group of workers, about 30 percent were of normal weight,45 percent were

　　overweight (超重的), and 25 percent were obese. Annual health-care costs averaged $2,200

　　for normal weight, $2,400 for the overweight, and $2,700 for obese employees.

　　But among workers who did no exercise, health-care costs went up by at least $100 a year,

　　and were $3,000 a year for obese employees who were sedentary.

　　But adding two or more days of light exercise, at least 20 minutes of exercise or workhard

　　enough to increase heart rate and breathing, lowered costs by on average $500 per employee

　　a year, the researchers found.

　　"This indicates that physical activity behavior could reduce at least some of the harmful

　　effects of excess body fat, and in consequence, help lower the health-care costs," Wang and

　　colleagues wrote.

　　How can employees help lower the health-care costs?

　　A: By taking more rest.

　　B: By eating less.

　　C: By exercising a little bit.

　　D: By saving more money.

　　答案:C
