　　第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

　　A

　　If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!

　　That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

　　All children soon learn what Don't touch! means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

　　There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

　　Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, Do touch! There you can feel everything on show.

　　If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

　　1. By touching things ______.

　　A. you will have a strange feeling

　　B. you will learn how to reach out your hand

　　C. you can learn more about them

　　Lack of exercise is considered a risk factor for cancer(癌症）. There is considerable evidence that inactivity is connected with increased risk for lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.

　　In the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, more than 32,000 people(25,000 men and 7,000 women) were given a preventive medical examination that included a machine exercise test to measure physical fitness. They were given a physical fitness score, with one being the lowest and five being the highest fitness level. Then these people were followed for an average of 8 years. During this time, 179 men and 44 women died of cancer.

　　Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study show people have lower rates of cancer with higher levels of physical fitness. Studies from the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas suggest that men with high fitness levels are less likely to die of cancer.

　　The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study also found that fitness level was more important than weight in predicting longevity (长寿). While results showed that fitness and normal weight are the ideal combination, researchers found that men who were fat but performed well in the machine performance had just a slightly increased all-cause death rate, including cancer, compared to the more slim men. The fat, but fit, men particularly lived longer than the slim, but flabby (肌肉松弛的) men.

　　These statistics called for a warning (警告）to the overweight: The first health goal for the overweight should be to become as fit as possible at their current weight.

　　12. The text mainly talks about .

　　A. the effect of exercise on reducing chances of cancer B. how to lose weight effectively C. different ways to keep slim D. fat men live longer than slim ones

　　13. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?

　　A. The study on the life of the overweight.

　　B. The study on the relationship between taking exercise and cancer.

　　C. The study on the ways of losing weight.

　　D. The study on the effects of machine exercise.

　　14. People with A. slim body B. normal weight

　　C. low fitness levels D. constant machine exercise

　　15. The author thinks the most important thing for the overweight is to .

　　A. increase their fitness levels B. choose to eat vegetables C. be on a diet

　　D. ask for help from doctors

　　Dear Wang Qiang ,

　　How are you doing recently ? I am writing to give you some suggestions on study and life . For senior 3 students ,time is precious. It is high time that we took effective measures to live our life to the fullest.

　　First of all, I highly propose we make the most of the time in class ,following our teachers .Besides ,we tend to get anxious with going by. Take it easy. It’s OK. More importantly,just as an old saying goes,“Health is Wealth.”That’s why we have to spend more time exercising regularly . Tired as we feel ,we are lucky and happy with so many teachers ,friends ,and our parents standing behind us. We may ask them for help whenever we need it .

　　Do you like my advice ? I hope we will graduate from high school without regrets and be admitted to our ideal universities.Wish you success .

　　Yours

　　Li Hua
