A

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.

Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and on you.

There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.

During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.

If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.

If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.

1．The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ________.

A．the damage caused by earthquakes B．the rescue work after earthquakes

C．what to do about earthquakes D．how to prevent earthquakes

2．During the earthquake, people are advised to ________.

A．go out the building at once B．turn off power and gas immediately

C．take shelter under a tree D．drive to a safe place

3．What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?

A．Cover their mouth with a handkerchief. B．Tap on a pipe or wall for help.

C．Use a whistle for help. D．Light a fire for help.

B

Working women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!

New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you're likely to pile on. Like many women, I work..., a lot! As a self­employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it's directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn't that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.

In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9, 276 Australian women aged 45－50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What' s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.

The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I'll also add in travel，meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.

4．The text above is probably taken from__________.

A．a sports report B．a fashion journal

C．a health and fitness magazine D．an advertisement post

5．A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to__________.

A．gain more weight B．have more time to move around

C．work a full time job D．keep a balanced diet

6．Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage?

A．Lacking time for food preparation. B．Using more prepared food.

C．Consuming too much alcohol. D．Taking part in more activities.

7．What can be a suitable title for the test?

A．Less activity leads to fat.        B．Ways of gaining weight.

C．Effects of weight gaining.       D．Working women more likely pile on pounds.

C

NEW YORK (Reuters) — Global warming has cut about $5 billion worth of value from the world’s most commonly grown grains over 20 years, according to a new study.

Warming temperatures from 1981 to 2002 cut the combined production of wheat, corn and other crops by 40 million tons per year. “Contrary to what most people think, this study shows that warming over the past two decades has already affected global food supply. The effect is not a faraway thing,” said Christopher Field, a co-author on the study, the first to estimate how much global food production has already been affected by climate change.

Not every scientist agrees that agriculture is suffering from warmer temperatures. A UN report said warming is expected to turn the planet a bit greener by encouraging plant growth, but crops and forests may wilt beyond mid-century if temperatures keep rising.

Average global production for several of the crops suffered from warmer temperatures, with production dropping by about 3-5% for every 1°F increase, the study said. Average global temperatures increased by about 0.7°F during the study period, with even larger changes in several regions.

“If the past is an indication, agriculture will also suffer going forward,” Field said. “We expect future warming to continue to be a drag on grain production, like driving with the parking brake engaged.” The study said the cereal crops hit by global warming account for 55% of non-meat categories consumed by humans and they also contribute more than 70% of the world’s animal feed.

“Farmers can adapt to warmer temperatures by changing crop planting times, the varieties they grow, or the locations used for each crop,” Field said. “In the past farmers have been very adaptable to environmental challenges, but adaptation to warming can take years.”

8．It is commonly thought that global warming ______.

A．will have a bad effect on human beings’ present life

B．is something that will just affect the future

C．is becoming more and more serious

D．will soon lead to great decrease in food supply

9．The underlined word “wilt” in the third paragraph probably means “______”.

A．increase B．grow taller

C．stay the same D．grow badly

10．According to Field, we can learn that ________.

A．agriculture will not suffer a lot from global warming

B．grain production will increase despite global warming

C．grain production will be affected by global warming

D．farmers can increase crop production by changing crop planting times

11．This passage mainly tells us that __________.

A．the future food supply will change with global warming

B．global warming reduces global food production

C．traditional agriculture will disappear due to global warming

D．global warming prevents the growth of plants and grains

D

 With the development of science and technology, the climate has been getting warmer and warmer in recent years. To stop global warming we should take some immediate measures.

First, it is believed that saving energy is an effective solution to the problem. For example, turn off the lights, the TV, the computer and so on, if we are not using them, and walk or ride a bike instead of using vehicles when possible.

Second, reducing the amount of waste gases and polluted water is another way to protect the earth. People are used to throwing bottles and plastic bags everywhere. Factories pour polluted water directly into the river and heavy smoke into the air. They are harmful to our earth.

We therefore must act now, and we must act globally. However difficult it may be in the short term, we must keep doing it.
