1、March MadnessFｏｒthe rest of the month, an epidemic (流行病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids stay home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the nearly 65 teams in US men\'s college basketball tournament, it begins on March 15 ａｎｄ　lasts through the beginning of April. Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will become the prisoners of basketball festival madness.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners fｏｒevery game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, ａｎｄ　colleagues against bosses.Big name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little - known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, fｏｒmany Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year the little - known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is making a name fｏｒtheir university ａｎｄ　themselves. But ft doesn\'t mean money isn\'t involved. About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will draw over $ 500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post - season revenue, including the NBA (全国篮球协会).Which statement about the epidemic is NOT true? ____【单选题】

A.It occurs every fourth year.

B.It starts on March 15.

C.It is known as "March Madness".

D.It lasts through the beginning of April.

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显。第二段第一句出现了关键词yearly，指“每年地”，即比赛是每年举办一次，所以正确答案是A。

2、Some Unusual CelebrationsSome holidays are well - known all around the world. Among them are New Year\'s Eve Celebrations. Also days are common in honｏｒof love ａｎｄ　friendship, like Valentine\'s Day. Each country has its own special holidays too, to mark important events in its history. Schools, banks, ａｎｄ　government offices all close on days like these. ____ A few of them are really very strange.Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool\'s Day, fｏｒexample. No one knows when ｏｒwhy it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries－France, England, ａｎｄ　Australia, etc. On this day, people play practical jokes. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh. The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?Dyngus Day in Polａｎｄ　seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional fｏｒboys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part: they do it to girls they like.Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city ｏｒtown. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. Then begins the world\'s biggest food fight. Fｏｒtwo hours, people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains ａｎｄ　catch a wild goat. They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, ａｎｄ　make him king fｏｒthree days.There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea fｏｒa new holiday ａｎｄ　tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9. That is supposed to be Toothache Day.Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.【单选题】

4、Continuing Education1 People around the world agree that education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate students only fｏｒthe aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them fｏｒlife. Life is varied; so is education.2 Ideas about education are more specified in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma ｏｒa college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. Fｏｒthem, learning does not end with a diploma.3 Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field ｏｒto learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills ｏｒto learn new ones. Scientists, mechanics, secretaries, barbers ａｎｄ　cooks can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more ｏｒlearn more, they can get a better job ｏｒearn more money.4 Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, ｏｒswimming. There are only some of the classes available.5 Some adults take classes fｏｒfun ｏｒbecause the class will be useful fｏｒthem. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.6 Almost any community college ｏｒpublic school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings ｏｒchurches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, ａｎｄ　they are inexpensive.Usually, the continuing education program is given ____.【单选题】

A.adults should go on learning after graduating from school

F.The Importance of a College Degree

答案解析:根据第6段的第1行可以得到此答案，只不过文中是以主动形式出现的。

5、Geology ａｎｄ　Heap(1)The importance of particular metals in the human diet has been realized within the past few decades, ａｎｄ　the idea that geology might be related to health has been recognized fｏｒa number of elements such as iodine, zinc ａｎｄ　selenium. Fｏｒexample, soils with low iodine contents produce crops, ａｎｄ　animals deficient in iodine. A lack of iodine in the human diet leads to some serious diseases.(2)The ultimate source of metals within the human body is rocks, which weather into soil, gaining ｏｒlosing some of their chemical constituents. The crops we eat selectively remove from the soil the elements that they require fｏｒgrowth. The water we drink contains trace elements leached from rock ａｎｄ　soil. Thus the geology ａｎｄ　geochemistry of the environment have effects on the chemistry ａｎｄ　health of plants, animals ａｎｄ　people.(3)So far there is no data to suggest that people living on metal-rich soils experience a potential health hazard. The levels of metals within naturally contaminated soils are generally not high enough to cause serious health problems. Living on metal-rich soils does not represent a health risk unless large quantities of soil are digested ｏｒmetal-rich dust is inhaled. However, small children are particularly exposed to metal-rich topsoil in playgrounds ａｎｄ　gardens. They are also the most likely ones to eat potentially dangerous metal-rich soil.(4)Heavy metals are persistent: they do not break down to other chemicals in the environment. Industrially polluted sites usually undergo intensive clean-up ａｎｄ　rehabilitation because heavy metals are a health concern once they enter the food chain. Some trace metals are alleged to cause cancer ａｎｄ　are also known to cause poisoning(5)In contrast, naturally contaminated soils have not been subject too risk assessment studies ａｎｄ　rehabilitation measures, despite the fact that they frequently possess metal concentrations well above those of such polluted by humans ａｎｄ　above environmental quality criteria.(6)There is a vital need to understａｎｄ　the potential risks ａｎｄ　long-term health effects of living on naturally contaminated soils. Future environmental investigations of naturally polluted soils should concentrate on the potential pathways of metals into the food chain ａｎｄ　human body. Geologists should be part of such studies as they can provide the essential background information on rock ａｎｄ　soil chemistry as well as the chemical forms of heavy metal pollution.Industrially contaminated sites usually require a thorough clean-up due to ____.【单选题】

A.industrially polluted soils

B.rock ａｎｄ　soil chemistry

C.naturally polluted soils

D.the pathways of metals into the food chain

E.the element of iodine

F.the persistence of heavy metals

正确答案:F

答案解析:第4段涉及这一问题。受到工业污染的土壤含有重金属，而且重金属很稳定，不容易降解，所以要对重金属进行彻底的清除。
