Get a reusable water bottle Americans buy about 25 billion single-serving plastic water bottles each year. Thats an average of 83 bottles per p

10、erson per year. Plastic bottles take plenty of resources to produce, including fuel for transportation and petroleum to make the plastic. Even recycling bottles uses energy.2.

If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting, you are putting yourself at increased chance of heart disease, cancers and

27、an early death. In other words, even if you exercise energetically, sitting for long periods is bad for you. So whats wrong with sitting? One is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. You burn more energy by chewing gum than you do sitting still in a chair. Compared to sitting, s

28、tanding in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and the muscles of your back and shoulders. While standing, you often change from leg to leg. All of this burns energy. For many people, weight gain is a matter of slow increase. Thus, a little more time on your feet to

29、day and tomorrow can easily make the difference between remaining thin and getting fat. So part of the problem with sitting a lot is that you dont use as much energy as those who spend more time on their feet. This makes it easier to gain weight, and makes you more likely to suffer from the health p

30、roblems that fatness often brings.Some people have advanced solutions: replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk. Make sure that your television can only operate if you are practicing on an exercise bike. Replace your office chair with a therapy(治疗) ball: this too uses more muscles, and more e

31、nergy, than a normal chair, because you have to support your back and work to keep balanced. But whatever you choose, know this. It is clear: be careful of your chair. 28. The main purpose of writing this passage is to _. A. escape standing more. B. advise exercising often. C. avoid gaining weight.

32、D. suggest sitting less. 29. From this passage, we know that _. A. standing burns nearly as much energy as sitting still does. B. taking exercise regularly but sitting more will do good. C. less exercise will reduce the chance of having disease. D. energy-burning activities will help you enjoy good

33、health. 30. The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refers to _. A. sitting too much B. burning energy. C. gaining weight. D. standing more. 31. A therapy ball is mentioned in the last paragraph to _. A. suggest a way to settle the sitting problem. B tell us to walk while working in the office. C.

34、 support our back and keep us balanced. D. provide a better cure for our backache.DPart of the oceans power comes from its size. All of the oceans are really big. Scientists estimate that there are about 330 million cubic miles of water in the oceans. There are four main oceans - the Atlantic, the I

35、ndian, the Arctic, and the Pacific. The largest and deepest is the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the Pacific Ocean is so big that if we could pick up the land on the earth, we could fit it inside this ocean. The movement of ocean water has a great effect on the earth, and the oceans are always in motion.

36、Do you know that there are rivers of water flowing through the oceans? Thats right- water flowing through water. These huge rivers of water are called currents. You cant see currents, but as any sailor knows, you can feel them moving. Strong rivers of water that move close to the surface of the ocea

37、n are called surface currents. The wind and rotation (自转) of the earth create these currents. When the baby sea turtle makes it to the water, she will probably head for the safety of a large surface current off the coast where she was born. Here the turtle can find a good food supply while avoiding

38、the many enemies near the shore. After floating around in this current for a few years, the turtle will grow big enough to defend herself against most predators. Then she can go back to waters near the coast. Surface currents are important because they can help warm or cool land. Surface currents th

39、at flow from regions near the Equator carry warm water. Those that flow from the polar regions carry cold water.Another kind of current found far below the surface of the water is called a deep ocean current. These currents form when very cold water meets warm water. The cold water sinks under the w

40、arm water, and this movement causes currents. 32. The writer thinks the oceans are powerful because _. A. one of them is much bigger than the other three. B. they can heat up the earth. C. they have two cold poles and one warm equator. D. they are large and constantly moving. 33. Which of the follow

41、ing statements is true according to the passage? A. Ocean currents are exactly the same as rivers on land. B. The movement of sea water would stop if there were no wind. C.A baby sea turtle cannot survive without the currents off the coast. D. Land owes much of its temperature change to the ocean cu

42、rrents nearby.34. From the last paragraph we can infer that a deep ocean current _. A. has no effect on land temperature B. can flow up and down. C. is the direct result of the wind. D. comes from the two poles. 35. In which column of a newspaper can we find the passage?A. Entertainment. B. Science.

43、 C. Education. D. Culture.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Without proper planning，tourism can cause problemsFor example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the countryIf tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants w
