                             Something Fun

A person is on trial for murder in a sound room in Oklahoma. There is strong evidence indicating guilt. However, the body is not found.

In the defense's(辩护）closing statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client is guilty and that it looks like he'll probably be convicted, resorted to a clever trick.

    "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury(陪审团），I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer says as he looks at his watch." Within one minute, the person assumed dead in this case will walk into this court room," he says and he looks towards the court-room door. The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.

Finally the lawyer says," Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict(裁决）of no guilty.  

The jury, clearly confused, retires to discuss.

A very few minutes later, the jury returned and a representative pronounces a verdict of guilty.

“But how?” inquires the lawyer. “You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.”

Answers the representative, “Oh, we did look. But your client didn’t.”

24. Why was the person on trial according to the passage?

   A. Because he couldn’t pay off the debts.  B. Because he was accused of murder.

   C. Because he did not pay the tax in time. D. Because he planned to cheat the jury.

25. Why did the lawyer come up with the trick?

A. To find the body. B. To annoy the jury.

C. To help his client. D. To save himself.

26. Why did the jury look at the door eagerly?

The lawyer’s words must be true.  

They expected his family to come in.

They were surprised and taken in by the lawyer.

They thought the person on trial was escaping.

27. What did the representative’s answer mean in the last paragraph?

They firmly believed that nobody was killed.

The behavior of the client gave him away.

The jury still needed more evidence to prove it.

The lawyer’s words were worth thinking about.

C

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky (威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot.”

    Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, filling with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle, any frustration （烦恼）will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1,342-metre top is a challenge. But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic（盖尔特）language “usqueb”or“water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient（原料）in Scotland’s best-known drink: whisky.

28. How is paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A. By making comparisons.             B. By following the time order.

    C. By analyzing causes.                D. By giving descriptions.

29. What is Ben Nevis especially noted for?

    A. The challenge up to its top.           B. The water from the mountain.

    C. The beauty of its surroundings.        D. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

30. What is the main purpose of the passage?

    A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

    B. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

    C. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

    D. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.

31. What does the story of Queen Victoria show?

    A. The Queen is rich in tour experience.

    B. The year of 1873 is special for the Queen.

    C. Tasting whiskey is better than going fishing.

    D. The castle’s a good place to go in Scotland.

D

Researchers say current exercise guidelines are unrealistic and argue that doctors should sometimes advise small increases in activity instead. They warn the 150-minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people - particularly older individuals. And striving to reach these goals could mean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public health officials say current recommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.

There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes（糖尿病)and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults recommend at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week, in short periods of 10 minutes or more.

But in two separate articles in the BMJ, experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who are sedentary（久坐的）to make small incremental increases in their activity levels - rather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to previous studies which show even short periods of walking or just 20 minutes of vigorous activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death, compared to people who do no exercise.

In the second article, Prof Phillip Sparling of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor their advice ---- particularly for older patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss "realistic options" to increase activity ---- such as getting people to stand up and move during TV commercial breaks.

Prof Kevin Fenton at Public Health England, says: "Everyone needs to be active every day ---- short periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range of health conditions." This includes reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."

32. What is the current exercise goal mentioned in the passage?

A. 10-minute exercise B. 20-minute exercise

C. 60-minute exercise D. 150-minute exercise

33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. A 10-minute exercise has little effect on the health.

B. Heart diseases happen easily to the old in activity.

C. Two-and-a-half hours of exercise is not necessary.

D. Inactivity easily brings about many serious diseases.

34. What is the suggestion of Prof. Philipe de Souto Barreto according to the third  

    paragraph?

A. People should spend less time on exercise.

B. People should lower their activity levels.

C. People should increase exercise properly.

D. People should achieve their current goals.

35. Which of the following is TRUE about current exercise guidelines?

A. They are impractical. B. They are reasonable.

C. They have no effect on us. D. They are popular with people.

             Keeping Safe in Your House During a Fire

Though you may not think you’ll ever fall victim to a house fire, it’s better to be prepared to avoid panicking. To increase your chances of survival, just follow these steps.

   Having relocated often, I’ve developed a love of de-cluttering（整理). Actually, there have been times when I’ve questioned whether it’s an/a   41  . But I’ve concluded that it isn’t.   42  , the habit is just wonderful blessing.

Standing   43   my wardrobe (衣橱) at least once every couple of months, I consider what can go. Even doing so   44  , there’s always something that I no longer love. Perhaps it’s an article of   45   that doesn’t express how I see myself any more or is not the most   46  . Maybe it’s something that has   47   through the last few selections and has finally lost its fight to   48   in the wardrobe.

Either way, some clothes   49   at the charity shop. Occasionally such a   50   may see something new-to-me come home from the store.

If however, I haven’t worn the new item within a few weeks, then it’s   52   that I am not as in love with it as I thought. It’s then donated back to the   53   on the next trip.

De-cluttering does not belong only to wardrobes, though. I also delete old computer files and emails,   54   the recycle bin on my computer daily. That way,   55   I look at my computer, it is like my wardrobe — only that which serves a purpose remains.

The best form of de-cluttering we can really do is to rid ourselves of outdated   56  . Like with all forms of de-cluttering, saying   57   to thinking patterns that no longer serve us creates   58   to breathe. It also makes room for new ways of thinking. Yes, de-cluttering can   59   all areas of our lives.

I wish you the courage to abandon the parts of your life that no longer   60   you and make space for fresh energy to flow.

As the population grows and temperatures rise,   61   will become more difficult to grow enough food for everyone.   62   (luck), scientists are now exploring the planet for plants that do not need as much water as today’s crops. The Mojave Desert in the U.S is home   63   some of these plants.

Scientist Heather Rose Kate of the University of Florida is in that desert. She is not collecting the coyote melon（瓜), which she describes as terrible.

Coyote melon may not taste good, but it can   64   (grow) in places that have little rainfall by farmers. The desert   65   it grows gets just 15 to 20 centimeters of rain per year, or less. Other kinds of melons need at   66   (little ) two and a half centimeters per week to grow.

Now scientists   67   (consider) combining coyote melon with other melons to see if they can make a tasty vegetable that doesn’t need as much water to grow. That could be useful on a planet   68   (become) warmer and more crowded every day.

Rose Kate says farmers will need   69   (produce) 50 to 70 percent more food by 2050 to feed the world. So, he says,   70   ( research)are studying the wild versions of farm-grown crops.

Dear Sir or Madam,
   I’m writing to ask for some information about the books I bought on your website.
The purchase was made on March 12th. As is shown in Shipment Details, the delivery number is HU186GB0092. The books were sent out on March 13th and are supposed to have arrived within 15 days. But today, unfortunately, I’m still waiting.
   I don’t think your delivery is satisfying, for I can’t find more information about shipment after March 18th. I’d like to point out I’ve provided right address and already paid for the books. Please deal with this matter immediately and let me know the latest information. Your earliest reply will be highly appreciated.
