A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future. Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’. It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do？ The only answer is to be more honest. 1．The number of people believing politicians and journalists has _______________________. A．increased B．not changed C．decreased 2．Experts think this problem _______________________. A．will get better soon B．will not get better soon C．will get worse soon 3．Stories say businessmen give money to _______________. A．politicians B．politicians and journalists C．journalists 4．Mr Smith thinks politicians make laws ________________. A．to help their friends B．to help him C．to help everybody 5．People can now check stories using __________________.

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during thePotato Famineof 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s. According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the wide-awake feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with. 1. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years？ A．Food B．Potato C．Chocolate 2. Some in Some still exist today means _________.

Coffee originally came from_________. A．Brazil B．Colombia C．Ethiopia 5. The Arabic legend is used to prove that _________. A．coffee was first discovered by Kaldi B．coffee drinks were first made by Arabs C．coffee was first discovered in south American countries 提示：请将正确答案的序号（大写字母ABC）填写在空白处，系统自动判分 您的答案是：1.[答案A] 2.[答案C] 3.[答案B] 4.[答案C] 5.[答案B] 题目：There have been changes in all sorts of different areas of British society. In recent years in the UK we have had a very large increase in the number of couples who get divorced.

There are quite a large number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman rather than a man.

As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey. Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn’t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn’t move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time. By the end of October last year, she had raised more than ？50,000 for charity. She says, Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do？ How did I do it？ But then I think, it’s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member. 1.

I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! – I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation. The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact. The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel？ Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station？ Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact？ Making a deposit at the bank？ Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM？ More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out Gee whiz？ 1．The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel _____________. A．unhappy B．funny C．wonderful 2．According to the author, human contact in a park means ____________. A．looking at each other and saying hello when passing B．noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogs C．both A and B 3．According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the ___________ we are. A．more automatic B．easier C．more disconnected 4．What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction？ A．With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. B．With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. C．Both A and B. 5．What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author？ A．It makes communication easier and conversation possible everywhere. B．It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together. C．It makes every contact between human beings automatic and makes people feel connected. 提示：请将正确答案的序号（大写字母ABC）填写在空白处，系统自动判分 您的答案是：1.[答案A] 2.[答案C] 3.[答案C] 4.[答案C] 5.[答案B] 题目：A study has shown that fitness is the key to long life, irrespective of body shape or even smoking habits. Researchers discovered that people who exercise live longer than those who do not, even if they are overweight and smoke. The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, You are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary. Although he adds, But don＇t misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary. However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight. The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers to reduce high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation＇s health. But the new study suggests the Government should encourage more people to exercise. 1．In the second Para., the word endorsing means _________.

BEFORE YOU GO Check with your doctor or local travel clinic which injections are necessary for the areas you are travelling to. Allow sufficient time to have these injections before you leave because they may take time to become effective. Be sure that the information on health is up-to-date. Check on the Internet if you are not sure. Don’t go to bed late the day before you fly. DURING THE FLIGHT 1. JET LAG Your body has a natural daily sleep pattern. It takes time to adjust to a new time zone. There are many different effects of jet lag: you may not be able to sleep, you may not want to eat or you may feel sick and tired. You may not be able to concentrate for some days after you arrive. There are several things you can do to lessen the effects of jet lag: － Do your best to relax during the flight; － Sleep as much as you can on the flight. Use a mild sleeping pill if necessary; － Drink as much water as you can; － Don’t drink alcohol and caffeine; － Take mild sleeping pills for the first few days in the new time zone if you need them. 2. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT) If you sit still for long periods of time, you will probably get swollen ankles and muscle cramps – these are painful but not dangerous. However, the much more serious DVT may also occur occasionally after long periods of inactivity — __________(1). This is not only true for air travel — it is the same for travellers by bus or train who spend many hours sitting in cramped conditions. To minimise the risk of DVT during the flight: - Stretch your legs and arms often while sitting in your seat; -_______________(2). Most importantly, if you have any worries about your health during the flight, call a flight attendant and tell them immediately how you feel. They will be able to help you. 1．What does the word sufficient mean in line 2 in Para. 2？ A．enough B．some C．efficient 2．Jet Lag means __________. A．a natural daily sleep pattern B．the tired feeling you have when flying across the places where time is different C．a kind of acute disease (急性病) D．the difficulty in adjusting to a new time zone 3．Which of the following might be best filled in blank (1)？ A．especially during the travel. B．it’s less dangerous although it can be painful.

Then they started coming into the house, so we adopted them. Because he didn’t have a home when he was a kitten, Milo is not very fit.

Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul.2 WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO PREPARE？ Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects — the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists. WHY DO COUNTRIES WANT TO HOST THE OLYMPIC GAMES？ Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved. 1．Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts ____________ before the games are really held. A．ten years B．eight years C．two years 2．Beijing was one of the _______ bidders for the 2008games. A．four B．five C．three 3．The World Cup 2002 was held in _____________. A．Japan B．South Korea C．A and B 4．What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid？ A．The extension of the underground. B．The improvement of the airport. C．A and B. 5．Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games？ A．Because it has a major effect on the economy. B．Because it brings international prestige to the country.

Doctors and nurses are recognising the benefits of pets more and more — particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn＇t spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other ‘working dogs’. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity ＇Dogs for the Disabled＇. ‘She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It＇s like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection. 1．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage？ A．All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients. B．Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better. C．Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients. 2．Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _________. A．children B．people with mental illness C．the elderly people who live alone 3．The first sentence of Para. 2 suggests _________. A．pets can make people become quiet and attentive B．people feel uncomfortable when they touch and play with a pet C．people feel relaxed and hopeful when they touch and play with a pet 4．The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT _________. A．She helps her get dressed B．She picks up the phone for her C．She gets the newspaper for her 5．The sentence when I was going to a comma … means that __________.

In order to keep fit, we should pay more attention to our eating habits. My suggestions on good eating habit are as follows: First, don’t eat too much or too little for each meal. Eating too much will cause overweight and eating too little malnutrition. Second, don’t eat between meals. Sometimes we like eating biscuits and chips before the mealtime; as a result, we lose our appetite for lunch or dinner. Third, eat more vegetables and fruits everyday. In my opinion, a good eating habit leads to a healthy life. 阶段性综合评测3(Unit 18) 试题及答案 一、题目1-20 题目：18. First you should switch the machine ___ before you stop your work. [答案]off 题目：2.

Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners.Most of Britain＇s ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London.There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are skilled cross-cultural travellers without leaving their home-town. 1．Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraeli’s statement is an understatement？ Because he thinks London is _________.

This is not really a question, and the reply to it is another greeting such as How do you do？ or Hello or I’m very pleased to meet you or, if you have met the person sometime before, It’s good to see you again. You don’t shake hands every time you meet someone, you just greet them.

Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can’t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives. 1．The main cause of pollution is __________. A．the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment B．the production of new industrial goods C．increased amounts of a natural substance 2．Much of the pollution could be controlled if only __________. A．farmers would use less artificial fertilizers B．governments would take effective measures C．all sides concerned would make more efforts 3．Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause __________. A．air and water pollution B．both a litter problem and a waster of resources C．to pay for the service 4．Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution？ A．Cutting out unnecessary buying. B．Reduce excess use C．Eating. 5．What does the underlined word litter mean in paragraph 2？ A．Bits of waste things B．serious problem C．industrial pollution 提示：请将正确答案的序号（大写字母ABC）填写在空白处，系统自动判分 您的答案是：1.[答案A] 2.[答案C] 3.[答案B] 4.[答案C] 5.[答案A] 题目：The chances that you will be a victim of violent crime are low.
