The path begins at town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast. The whole walk will take you approximately four and a half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths, past sheer cliffs and shining blue bays.‎ Sydney's Great Coastal Walk, Australia Sydney's coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the world. Here you have national parks, historic sites, steep cliffs, sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place. Sydney's Great Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an incredible seven days to complete. However, if you're not up to doing the full walk, then there are many different parts of the walk that you can do right in the city. Walking from the city's famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve of Bronte Beach takes just an hour, which takes in some top scenery.‎ Great Ocean Walk, Australia The Great Ocean Walk stretches 104 km along Victoria's famous Great Ocean Road, located on the southern coast of Australia, from the resort town Apollo Bay to the magnificent Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are the area's famous stone landmarks which stand out like giants from the sea. The walk passes through a range of landscapes and sights, from national parks, famous surfing spots and deserted ‎ beaches, to wild coastlines, cascading waterfalls, lush forests, historic lighthouses and ghostly shipwrecks. Day walks and shorter threehour walks such as the Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.‎ So next time when you're looking for a beach holiday don't just think about the resorts and the sand, but consider a more active sun holiday, discovering some of the best beaches in the world.‎ ‎1．The author intends to tell us ________.‎ A．the world's best places for beach walks ‎ B．the wonderful beaches in the world C．the ideal tourism resort for health ‎ D．the beautiful beaches in Australia ‎2．When you arrive at the Amalfi Coast ________.‎ A．you must be fed up with the footpath B．you will be fascinated by the scenery C．you can start walking from Positano ‎ D．you may be trapped in narrow rocky paths ‎3．What is the distinct characteristic of Sydney's Great Coastal Walk?‎ A．It takes about more than five hours to complete.‎ B．It starts from Royal National Park in the south.‎ C．It provides visitors a variety of great landscapes.‎ D．It really has the longest coastline in the world.‎ ‎4．According to the fourth paragraph we can know that ________.‎ A．Apollo Bay is at the end of the Great Ocean Walk B．the Twelve Apostles exists below the surface of the sea C．the Wreck Beach Walk can also give visitors pleasure D．most visitors can finish the 104 km walk in three hours 答案与解析 本文介绍了世界上最适合海滩散步的几个地方。‎ ‎1．A　写作意图题。根据文章第一段的句子“we've been searching the globe to find you the world's best and most glorious beach walks, and here's our pick of the top.”可知作者想告诉我们世界上最适合海滩散步的地方。故选A。‎ ‎2．B　细节理解题。根据文章“The Footpath of the Gods, Amalfi Coast, Italy”下面的句子“The name says it all really and you truly do feel up there to walking along this wonderful mountain coastal path, which offers some of the most striking views on the planet.”可知当你到the Amalfi Coast的时候，你会被美景吸引。故选B。‎ ‎3．C　细节理解题。根据文章“Sydney's Great Coastal Walk, Australia”下面的句子“Here you have national parks, historic sites, steep cliffs, sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place.”可知Sydney's Great Coastal Walk的独特的特点是它给游客各种各样的美丽风景。故选C。‎ ‎4．C　细节理解题。根据文章第四段的句子“Day walks and shorter threehour walks such as the Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.”可知the Wreck Beach Walk可以给游客快乐。故选C。‎ ‎【二】‎ The Healthy Habits Survey(调查)shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits.

Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.‎ ‎2．How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?‎ Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.‎ Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.‎ ‎3．How often do you think about fighting germs?‎ Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.‎ Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else?

The “c” stands for “crawling”(爬行). This new sport needs twolegged humans running on all fours!‎ The funny idea is the brainchild of Shaun McCarthy. The 34yearold is convinced that it will revolutionize fitness as we know it. According to the sports enthusiast, “The only thing that crunning's changed about fitness is that it's changed everything about fitness.”‎ McCarthy has no scientific evidence to prove that crunning is more efficient than traditional twolegged running. However, he believes it is a more effective way to exercise because it puts an emphasis on the shoulders and arms, providing a complete body workout. McCarthy also says crunning seems to tire him out more. He therefore concludes that the unconventional exercise is a bigger calorie burner than normal running.‎ While experts generally agree that crunning may provide a better workout, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans. Fitness coach Kevin Dean says we are not built to be on all fours and our wrists are therefore not as strong as our ankles. He believes crunning, which he calls a fad(时尚), could result in bad wrist and shoulder injuries, not to mention broken noses.‎ But McCarthy is not worried. Since the release of his crunning video a few weeks ago, many Melbourne residents have been seen scampering around on all fours.‎ ‎ As it turns out they are not the only ones. In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favorite activity for many years. According to some enthusiasts, the light exercise that is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty, is good for curing back and spine ailments.‎ Ready to give crunning a try? Then McCarthy recommends investing in some good shoes, hardy gloves and most important of all, a face mask!‎ ‎1．What can we learn about crawling according to Kevin Dean?‎ A．Our ankles are stronger than our wrists.‎ B．Crawling is an efficient way to work out.‎ C．The city of Zhengzhou is the origin of crawling.‎ D．Crawling can burn more calories than normal running.‎ ‎2．What does the author think of crunning?‎ A．Dangerous.　　　　　　 B．Interesting.‎ C．Beneficial. D．Unbelievable. ‎ ‎3．Why does McCarthy suggest people wearing a face mask when crunning?‎ A．To amuse other people. ‎ B．To avoid being recognized. ‎ C．To protect the nose from being injured.‎ D．To prevent sweat dropping on the ground.‎ ‎4．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．A new way of crawling.‎ B．A new trend of exercising.‎ C．A scientific discovery. ‎ D．A traditional way to keep fit.‎ 答案与解析 本文讲述的是跑步、游泳、打球都能起到强身健体的作用，但是你听说过通过爬行来健身吗？这是一种更有效的锻炼方式，因为它把重点放在肩部和臂部，提供一个完整的身体锻炼。在本文中作者介绍了一种新的健身方式——爬行。‎ ‎1．A　推理判断题。根据Kevin Dean的理论可知，他认为我们的脚踝比我们的手腕更强壮。故选A。‎ ‎2．B　推理判断题。根据第二段首句The funny idea is the brainchild of Shaun McCarthy.可以推断出作者认为这种健身方式很有趣。故选B。‎ ‎3．C　推理判断题。根据第四段末句He believes crunning, which he calls a fad (时尚)，could result in bad wrist and shoulder injuries, not to mention broken noses.可知爬行容易伤到鼻子。故选C。‎ ‎4．B　主旨大意题。跑步、游泳、打球都能起到强身健体的作用。但在本文中作者介绍了一种新的健身方式——爬行。故选B。‎ ‎【七】‎ Opera at Music Hall：1243 Elm Street.

It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.‎ Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.‎ There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a_pipe_dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.‎ At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with applethemed fun and games.‎ Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards (果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.‎ ‎1．What can people do at the apple events?‎ A．Attend experts' lectures.‎ B．Visit fruitloving families.‎ C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard. ‎ D．Taste many kinds of apples.‎ ‎2．What can we learn about Decio?‎ A．It is a new variety. ‎ B．It has a strange look.‎ C．It is rarely seen now. ‎ D．It has a special taste.‎ ‎3．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A．A practical idea. ‎ B．A vain hope.‎ C．A brilliant plan. ‎ D．A selfish desire.‎ ‎4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To show how to grow apples.‎ B．To introduce an apple festival.‎ C．To help people select apples.‎ D．To promote apple research.‎ 答案与解析 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国10月21日的苹果节的相关情况。届时，人们可以观赏、品尝到多种品种的苹果。‎ ‎1．D　细节理解题。根据关键句可知，在苹果节的活动上，人们可以品尝到许多不同品种的苹果。故选D。‎ ‎2．C　推理判断题。根据关键句可推知，Decio苹果如今很罕见。故选C。‎ ‎3．B　词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知，一些品种已适应了当地特有的生长条件，其中一些优良品种需要温暖的气候、肥沃的土壤等，因此由于不具备这些生长条件，对于大多数喜欢某些特定品种的人来说，想要种植是不现实的；由此可推断，画线词“a pipe dream”应意为“不现实，妄想，白日梦”，B项意思与之最接近。故选B。‎ ‎4．B　写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了英国10月21日的苹果节的相关情况。届时，人们可以观赏、品尝到多种品种的苹果，甚至还有幸可以见到一些仍然存在的稀有品种；由此可知，本文旨在向读者介绍苹果节的相关信息。故选B。‎ ‎【九】‎ As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from ‎ curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursed further.Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.‎ The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called “well”．In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health.People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition.Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health.Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”， in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.“Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for.People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes.And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.‎ ‎1．Today's medical care is placing more stress on ________.‎ A．keeping people in a healthy physical condition ‎ B．monitoring patients' body functions C．removing people's bad living habits D．ensuring people's psychological wellbeing ‎2．According to the passage, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________.‎ A．to best satisfy their body's special needs B．to strive to maintain the best possible health C．to meet the strictest standards of bodily health D．to keep a proper balance between work and leisure ‎3．According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?‎ A．People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.‎ B．People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.‎ C．People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.‎ D．People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.‎ 答案与解析 本文是一篇说明文，讨论了什么样的人才是真正意义上的健康的人。‎ ‎1．C　细节理解题。由第一段第一句得知。‎ ‎2．B　词义猜测题。由第二段 “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for.可推出。‎ ‎3．C　推理判断题。由第二段Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”， in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.(根据这些新定义，即使那些有生理残疾的人，也可以被认为是“健康”的人)又在下文总结了这一点，根据这种新的定义，健康的人就应该是那些无论身体有何局限，只要努力追求成为最有可能的健康状态的人。与C选项相符。‎ ‎【十】‎ LowCost Gifts for Mother's Day Gift No.1‎ Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctors' visits whether a disease or a regular medical checkup. Most mothers always say “no need”， but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.‎ Gift No. 2‎ Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life，” Dr. Marie Savard said.‎ Gift No. 3‎ Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep.” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”‎ Gift No. 4‎ Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构).
