2 . Introduction to Sanxingdui Museum

Situated in the northeast of the state-protected Sanxingdui Site by the bank of the Yazi River in Guanghan — a city famed for its long history and splendid culture, Sanxingdui Museum is a modern theme museum which is 40 kilometers to the north of Chengdu.

Covering a total area of 530 yields, Sanxingdui Museum had its foundation laid in August 1992, and opened to the public in October 1997. Featured for its relics, architecture, demonstration and gardens, the museum has become a place of cultural and tourist attractions enjoying prestige both at home and abroad and one of the three exquisite spots Sichuan has offered to the world tourism.

3 . The biggest seasonal change of the year happens from March to June, as temperatures climb, days lengthen, birds return, and life in all forms comes rushing back.     1    

Beneath this outpouring of new life, however, is a great struggle,    2     Like a bean seed growing from the earth, the spirit of spring is like pressure valve(阀门) releasing, preparing us for action. That's the energy of the season: powerful, creative, determined. That makes it the perfect time to get serious about your health and fitness.

Write down your workout goal --- building new strength; perhaps.    3     "What have you been telling yourself you can't do?" asks Larsen. Spring is the time to question those assumptions and deal with them head-on.

    4     It's challenging for many, and it promotes growth and change: Hiring a trainer -- -- or joining forces with an enthusiastic partner or group --- can help build confidence, whether you're an experienced lifter or nẹw to the world of weights.

You can make use of the seasons' growth- inducing (促生长的) power by increasing your fitness program.    5    If you are a yogi, make great effort to master tougher and more athletic asanas(体式).

Whatever you choose, remember that by taking advantage of the opportunities of each season, and avoiding the difficulties, you can gain a deeper appreciation for your body's changing needs---one year, one season, one workout at a time.

A．New growth requires willpower.

B．If you are a cyclist, attempt longer climbs.

C．Then break it down into steps and start working.

D．Strength training is perhaps the ideal spring activity.

E．You need to prepare your body for your fitness program.

F．The year's cycle renews itself in this season of rebirth.

G．When you are ready to play your first game of the season, take it easy.

4 . If you wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜), you might not know the best way to deal with old ones. Washing them down the sink or flushing them down the toilet is not the way to go. Yet one in five people who wear contact lenses do just that. However, the plastic in their lenses can linger (存留), polluting both water and land.

Rolf Halden, an engineer at Arizona State University in Tempe, and his team created an online survey. More than 400 contact lens wearers took part. The questions asked how many got rid of their lenses inappropriately. About 20 percent — one in five — sent their used contact lenses down sink drain or toilet. Assuming all contact lens wearers in the U. S. do that at the same rate, the researchers then calculated how much plastic would be flushed away each year. Their estimate: 6 to 10 metric tons! That's about the weight of two to three adult African forest elephants. Contact lenses are a tiny part of the world's plastic pollution. But the unique plastic used in contact lenses could make them a big concern.

To figure it out, researchers exposed contact lenses to the microbes (微生物) used to clean wastewater in water-treatment plants. These microbes made the plastics begin to fall apart, but they weren't fully broken down. Instead, they created a lot of tiny pieces called microplastics.

Halden worries that these small plastic bits will cause trouble in the food chain. In water, the plastics from contact lenses sink. Animals could view these tiny bits as food. But because the plastic won't provide them with nutrition, this could threaten the health of animals who dined on it.

And that's already happening. Many studies have shown that corals, larval fish and shellfish are mistaking microplastics for food. Over time, they risk accumulating even higher levels of plastic in their bodies. Also the pollution has already shown up in bottled water, sea salt and fish sold for human consumption.

1. Rolf Halden's survey shows that ________.

A．contact lenses have won popularity with Americans

B．contact lenses have caused a huge part of plastic pollution

C．some contact lens wearers throw away their old lenses improperly

B．Sea creatures are eating microplastics.

C．Animals are causing plastic pollution.

D．Contact lenses are damaging the environment

4. Which one of the following is most probably to be discusssed next?

On a sunny day, a yellow school bus heads to Elver Park in Madison, Wisc. The seventh graders inside are excited to_________ the rockets they've built in class.

With the angle finder and a little math, they estimate each rocket's maximum_________. They calculate how their rocket_________against 90 others made by their classmates and teacher.

"Kids, like all humans, are doing science all the time," says Ropa. "They_________the world through play," he_________, "whether it's stacking toys or building bike ramps." They have a hypothesis（假说）. They set up a test. They____________the results. Then they adjust their____________.

"The____________his students use at school," says Ropa, "are similar to those that many adults use at work." Some of these adults____________a white lab coat and carry a business card with the word scientist". Most don't.

In Madison' s Elver Park, the students make their____________fly as high as they can. That teaches them the physics of____________. "It also develops a sense of creating____________and hopefulness," says Ropa.

Some kids will never____________that rocket launch. For others, the "calculation" may hook them on____________.

6 . One of Britain' s most outstanding scientists says the growth in the use of electronic tablets and smart phones is causing people to spend so much time indoors that they need to take regular vitamin D supplements to make up for the lack of sunlight they receive naturally.

Geneticist Steve Jones said he himself was a follower to the cause and urged others to follow. “I never thought I would be a person who would take vitamin supplements；I always thought it was absolute nonsense. But now I take vitamin D every day. Today, because I knew the sun wasn't going to shine, I took an extra one,” he said.

Exposure to the sun is the major source of vitamin D. However, people are spending less and less time outdoors in many areas. The problem is particularly serious in Scotland. "The Scots are the whitest people in the world because their entire body systems are crying out for vitamin D," he said, adding that life expectancy in Scotland is two years shorter than in England or Wales. Multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), a medical condition which is often seen in northern Europe, is also higher in Scotland than in England.

Vitamin D helps with the absorption of Ca, which helps keep bones strong. And Jones said the fact that rickets (佝偻病) was making a comeback in Britain after nearly 50 years was another sign of how changing behavior patterns were bringing physical harm.

Jones admitted that concerns over the damaging effects on skin of long-time exposure to the sun were reasonable, but said sunlight was healthy and necessary for the human body, and could help in lowering blood pressure. "If you lie on the beach for an hour, you will drop your blood pressure by about 10 points, because it relaxes your blood vessels (血管). So, get out in the sun while we still can," he said.

1. How are people affected by the rise of technology according to the text?

A．They are more sensitive to sunlight

B．They take more vitamin D supplements.

C．They get less vitamin D than before.

D．They become addicted to electronic games.

2. What’s Jones’ attitude towards taking vitamin D supplements now?

A．Skeptical.	B．Cautious.
C．Worried.	D．Supportive.

3. Why are the Scots the whitest people in the world?

A．Because they are in great need of sunlight.

B．Because their blood pressure is very low.

C．Because they enjoy a short period of sunshine.

D．Because they are easy to get multiple sclerosis.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Get out and gain more Vitamin D

B．Keep away from tablets and phones

C．Pay attention to the importance of sunlight

D．Take vitamin D supplements to keep healthy
