2.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have alot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong socialties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner"s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in theseregions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi-astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, youwon't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup oftea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wildsage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的)properties, which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.What might be the best title of the passage?

When we walk through the city,we,all experience a kind of information overload(超载）。but we pay attention only to those that are,important to us.We don't stop,we keepour faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead,and in doing so,we are not just protecting ourselves, but are,avoiding overloading other people as well.

We make use of stereotypes(刻板的模式）as convenient ways to make quick judgmentsabout situations and people around us.They may not always be accurate(精确的），andthey can often be dangerously wrong,but they are used regularly.

The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict(限制）experience.,By using limited clues(线索）to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people on places we may choose to limit our communication.We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe.they will not offer something weenjoy.

In the city ,styles of dress are particularly important with regard to （关于）self-presentation,Different groups often use clearly identifiable(可辨认的）styles of clothes so thatthey can be easily recognized.It is becoming increasingly.common for brand names to beplaced on the outside of clothes,and this labeling(标签）makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly(马上）lets other tell at a distance whether n individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associatewith

In England,where social grouping or classcontinues to make social distinctions(区分），clothes,hairstyles,people's pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues toour social group.Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed,although in the citywhere greater variety is permitted.they are more likely to he secondary determining factorsfriendship and association.3.From the passage we may conclude that（）

7.Californian Michael Schwabe said goodbye to the gas pump two years ago．He leased an electric car．Schwabe says he gets more out of driving an electric car than just a charge. 　　"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air, it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road." 　　On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars．By 2003, ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions．This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time. 　　Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says, "The technology (for zero emissions) isn't here yet; it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience." 　　Auto makers blame it on the batteries．Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles．However, some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge．Batteries are expensive．Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it. 　　Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says, "The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so, so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off."[单选题] When did Michael Schwabe say goodbye to the gas pump?

8.根据以下资料，回答82-85题。 　　Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings. 　　They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things．Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film．If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward．The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them. 　　Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near．But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories．In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory．When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak．This turns on a light to warn people in the factory．At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward．It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour. 　　Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.83 The trainer usually gives the animal a piece of candy or fruit __.

9.根据以下资料，回答70-73题。 　　Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. 　　Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating? 　　The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay. 　　The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.72 According to the text, the best host
