Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2009年英语周报模拟六)
Living in a green area can make you live longer，according to research published today.The research also shows that the difference in life expectancy (预期寿命) between rich and poor becomes smalleramong those who live in an environment with parks and trees.
Richard Mitchell，from Glasgow University，and his colleagues, found that the gap between the number of deaths of people on high incomes and the number of deaths of those on low incomes in green areas was half that compared with figures relating to builtup areas.
Green spaces，classified by the researchers as “open，undeveloped land with natural vegetation”，encouraged people to walk and be more active.Exercise in these settings could have greater benefits than exercise elsewhere，the researchers said.
The benefits potentially go beyond exercise.Studies have shown that being around green spaces can reduce blood pressure and stress levels，and possibly help patients recover faster.
A number of researchers have looked at the effects of greenery on our wellbeing.But few studies had looked at whether living in green areas reduced health inequalities，the Glasgow team said.
Using information from a landuse database of 2001，the researchers divided the preretirement population of England into four groups according to income level，and five groups according to access to green space.They then looked at death rate for 2001～2005.
They found that the inequality in death rate from all causes relating to lack of money was less in those populations in the greenest areas compared with the figures for people living in more builtup places.They found an even stronger relationship when it came to deaths from certain diseases such as heart conditions and stroke (中风)．There was no difference，however，in deaths from lung cancer.
The researchers said that changing the physical environment was an easier way to fight against poor health than using media campaigns or giving out information on health.“The result of the study is clear：Environments that promote good health might be very important in the fight to reduce health inequalities.”
1．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.
A．the gap B．the number of deaths
C．the income D．the living area
2．What was the special point of the Glasgow team’s research?
A．They offered a scientific definition of “green spaces”．
B．They encouraged people to exercise in green areas.
C．They studied the effects of greenery on people’s health.
D．They focused on the influence of greenery on health inequalities.
3．What advice would the researchers probably give according to the last paragraph?
A．More health information should be given to the public.
B．People should take more exercise every day.
C．More trees and grass should be planted in cities.
D．People should help to fight against health problems.
4．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．People should live in green areas.
B．Green spaces promote good health.
C．Income influences health less than environment.
D．Exercise in green areas benefits people a lot.
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D 由题意可知：事实上Mr Turner对这次取得的成就几乎没有做任何贡献，但是他看上去好像那全是他自己完成的。as if引导的表语从句是一种与过去事实相反的情况，用虚拟语气。even though尽管；in that因为；now that既然。
2．A determined是形容词，“determined...mistakes”在句中作伴随状语。be determined never/not to do决心不……，表示心理状态。
3．C 句意为：“那一大声吓住了他，他脸上露出害怕的表情。”“他”“感到害怕”，因此，他的表情是“害怕的，感到恐惧的”(frightened)，而不是“令人恐惧的”(frightening)或“可怕的”(frightful)。
4．C 后半句句意为：我们必须在瓶子中的水用完之前找到一个水池。run out of用光，属及物动词词组，后面要跟宾语；run away逃跑；run out用光，属不及物动词词组，其主语常为物，其后不跟宾语，符合题意，run off逃跑；逃走。
5．C hang on a minute稍等；等一会儿；get a move on快点儿吧；hello和who’s that都是接通电话时的用语。上句意为“我能与艾丽斯通电话吗？”根据答语中的“我马上去叫她”可知选C。
6．A 此题考查固定短语中的冠词。on end连续不断地；come to an end结束。句意为：雨一连下了一个星期了，好像下不完了。
7．C be in no mood for sth./to do sth.没有做某事的心情；无意做某事。句意为：尽管吉姆以绝妙的幽默感著称，但他今天没心情讲笑话。
8．B be curious about对……感到好奇。句意为：小孩子对一切都好奇，而且会很快学会模仿看到的事情。obvious明显的；anxious担忧的；serious严肃的，均不合题意。
9．B resemble像；类似，一般不用于被动语态，也不用于进行时。根据句意“这两个男孩外表长得像，但爱好大相径庭”，可知说的是一般事实，故用一般现在时。
10．D only to find为不定式短语作结果状语，表示预料之外的结果。句意为：我穿着晚礼服兴致勃勃地来了，结果却发现其他人穿着随意。
11．A warn sb.to do sth.警告某人做某事；encourage sb.to do sth.鼓励某人做某事；allow sb.to do sth.允许某人做某事；forbid sb.to do sth.禁止某人做某事。句意为：他被解雇了，因为他被警告要严格守时，但是他又迟到了。
12．C make up编造；虚构(故事等)；put up提出，建立；give up放弃；show up露面。根据句意“她被邀请参加舞会但不想去，所以她编了借口”，可知选C。
13．A energy能源；source来源；power权力，能力；force力量。句意为：许多国家正在增加对天然气、风及其他形式的能源的利用。因此，A项为正确答案。
14．D 考查动词的时态。句意为：她在原来出过错的地方更加小心。make a mistake发生在did the experiment again之前，故应用过去完成时。
15．B 本题考查非谓语动词。从句意上看，他买过许多彩票，没中过一次奖，有出乎意料的意思，所以填不定式结构用做结果状语，winning表自然结果，与句意不符。句中为逗号，所以后面不能填谓语动词形式即C、D两项。
Ⅱ.完形填空
1．B 指三四英里的距离。
2．C 根据下文小女孩说的话 (I’m Wendy and I’m building something.)可知，小女孩当时在搭建什么东西。
3．A look up表示“抬起头”。
4．D talk with sb.表示“和……交谈”。即作者不想和一个小孩子交谈。
5．A 作者不想和这个孩子说话，所以只是随意问话而已，并不真的关心她在堆什么。
6．A 小女孩说她自己也不知道自己在堆什么，她只是喜欢摸着沙子的感觉。
7．B 根据后面一句话(Mum says sandpipers come to bring us joy.)可知答案。
8．D 根据第一段内容和作者说的“Goodbye，joy”可知，当时作者感到郁闷，所以他在听了小女孩的话之后，和“快乐”说了再见，向痛苦打了声“招呼”。由此可知，这里应该选pain。
9．A out of balance的意思是“失去平衡”，即作者当时感到自己的生活好像失去了平衡。out of sight表示“看不见”；out of mind表示“发疯，发狂”；out of range表示“在射程外”。
10．B 与前面的pain相对应。小女孩让他改天再来这里，过上快乐的一天。
11．C belong to表示“属于”。
12．D 下文提到作者的母亲去世了。因此，这里表示“生病的母亲”，选sick。
13．B 与上文提到的sandpiper (矶鹞鸟)相照应。即需要去寻找快乐(小女孩说过这种鸟代表快乐)。
14．D 作者几乎已经“忘记”那个小女孩了。
15．C 根据后面的句子She pointed toward a summer cottage可知，作者是问小女孩的住处。
16．A mood表示“心情”，即作者甚至没有心情和小女孩打招呼，只想自己单独呆一会儿。
17．A 根据语境可知，作者想要单独呆一会儿。其他选项不符合语境：lonely表示“孤独的”；unique表示“独一无二的”；special表示“特殊的”。
18．B 根据下文可知，小女孩是身患重病的，因此B项正确，即她面色苍白。
19．A 作者感到自己以前伤害了那个小女孩，因此感到抱歉。
20．D 作者想念那个小女孩了，所以才去她家找她。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 研究人员根据数据分析得出结论：生活在绿色地带或经常到自然中活动能够延长人们的寿命。改善人们的居住环境要比仅仅靠媒体传播一些健康方面的知识更有利于提高人们的健康水平。
1．A 指代题。文章第二段是对两个差距进行比较。第一个差距是居住在绿化区中收入高与收入低的人的死亡数之差，第二个是指居住在建筑密集区中收入高与收入低的人的死亡数之差，第一个差距是第二个差距的一半，画线部分的that指的是第二个差距，故选A项。
2．D 细节理解题。根据文章第五段可知，很多研究人员都看到了绿色环境对人类健康有益，但却没有人研究绿色环境在减少健康不平等状况方面的作用，后面两段指出了Glasgow大学的研究人员所进行的实验和对结果的分析，故选D项。
3．C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，研究人员提出改变居住环境要比其他方式更容易改善健康状况，好的环境是决定健康状况的一个重要因素，故选C项。
4．B 主旨大意题。文章主要讲到居住在绿色环境中会利于人的健康，增加人的寿命，B项概括全面。
