9、阅读理解(共40小题；每小题3分，满分120分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、 B、 C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A One important attraction of walking is its long-lasting appeal. Whereas jogging and aerobic dancing can pall quickly, walking provides a popular activity that seems to endure. Fitness foundations estimate that 35 million adul

10、t Americans walk for exercise every day, with at least 15 million walking two or three times a week. Among the most regular walkers are those 65 years and olderevidence that walking is an exercise that lasts. In addition to its many physical benefits, walking, like other physical activities, has a c

11、omforting effect on the psyche. Walking can help you to think more clearly and feel more relaxed. It also can be a sociable activity. An early morning walk around the neighborhood provides an opportunity to chat with friends or simply admire the flowers. Or because it does not require a team or even

12、 a partner, walking is something you can do on your own time, by yourself, whenever the mood strikes.Easily affordable, all you need to start walking is enthusiasm and a pair of comfortable and sturdy low-heeled shoes. Dr.ChristineL. Wells recommends an Oxford-style shoe with ties for better foot su

13、pport; she does not recommend sneakers or other “cheapies”. If you plan to walk regularly, you might want to invest in a pair of so-called walking shoes. If so, expect to spend at least $35.For walking during the hotter months, early morning or evening hours are best. Clothes should fit loosely and

14、be lightweight and light-colored. Elderly walkers should consider wearing long sleeves, and all Arizonans need to be particularly concerned about skin cancer. Dr. Wells suggests wearing sunscreen as well as a side-brimmed hat to protect your eyes, ears, nose and back of the neck.Walkers also should

15、drink an adequate amount of water. Wells advises drinking an 8-ounce glass of water before you start out, and more when you return. “If you walk four miles or more a day in Arizona, I also recommend that you carry a water bottle,” she says. “ And water is just fine; you dont need those fluid-replace

16、ment or electrolyte drinks.”21. The underlined word “pall” most probably means_.A. interest people B. be easily learnt C. become boring D. become popular22. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of walking?A. It improves ones appetite. B. Its an inexpensive exerciseC. It helps to comf

17、ort the mind. D. it can be an individual or social activity23. For regular walking, what you need most is _.A. endurance B. enthusiasm C. strength D. relaxation24. We may infer from the passage that _.A. people in Arizona are easily exposed to strong sunlight.B. walking is most suitable for those 65

18、 years and olderC. water is better than any other drinks for walkersD. jogging and dancing dont have any positive effect on the mind.25. Which word best describes the authors attitude toward walking?A. positive B. playful C. doubtful D. cautious(谨慎)BAll plant cells are able to take up water. Even de

19、ad ones do to a certain degree. Absorption of water by dead cell walls makes wood swell(肿胀). In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens(苔藓)you see on tree trunks and on rocks in the high mount

20、ains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plant started to invade the land, the first primitive land plants did not have roots; they were marsh (沼泽) plants.Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are the so-called higher plants because they ev

21、olved more recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale. In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains.

22、 The plant gets its water exclusively from the dew it collects at night, when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prev

23、ents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming, and the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in con

24、tact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.26. Wood swells because of _.A. the dead cell walls B. tiny drops of water entering the dead cellC. the growth of the cell D. the death of the cell27. From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is arranged according to _.A. evolutionary c

25、ycles B. heights and depthsC. time D. kinds28. The bromeliad is a plant that _.A. has useless roots B. is a pineappleC. can grow anywhere D. takes up water through its leaves29. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Water plants existed before land plants.B. Only living plant cells take up water.C.

26、The greenish-yellow lichens are uncommon land plants.D. The living cells of roots absorb more water than the rest of the plant.30. The most suitable title for this passage is _.A. water intake by cells B. rootless plantsC. plant in the desert D. higher plants C Queen Victoria was monarch of Great Br

27、itain from 1837 until her death in 1901. This period is often called the Victorian Age.Queen Victoria was a stern and serious woman.

For the rest of her life, the lonely Victoria mourned his loss. It was customary in those days for a widow to dress in black for a shor

29、t time after the death of her husband. But Queen Victoria dressed in black for forty years. And for forty years, as another sigh of her grief, she wrote her letters white paper edged in black.Even before Prince Albert died, Queen Victoria was known as a very serious woman. She had a strong sense of

30、duty and worked very hard at all her tasks. In her diary she wrote, “I love to be employed; I hate to be idle.” She never forgot that she was Britains queen and always acted with great dignity.
