In these schools

19、, students are often told to turn off their video games and get some exercise. The schools have found a new way for their students to work out while playing a new video game. West Virginia is one of the heaviest states in the country. About half of its fifthgraders are considered to be overweight, a

20、nd their parents are worried about that. To get them moving on a healthier path, the states public schools are using a video game called “Dance Revolution”.To use the game, players should stand on a special mat in front of a TV screen. Following arrows on the screen, players must move their feet to

21、the specific symbols on the mat. Players must move quickly, touching symbols on the mat at just the right time.With each song, they get more exercise.If we can get children to change their behavior at a young age, they will hopefully grow up to be healthy and active adults, said Carl Callison of Mou

22、ntain State Blue Cross, a health care company.West Virginia is ranked among the top three heaviest states. About a third of West Virginians are considered to be obese (肥胖的). Even more are considered to be overweight. Extra weight can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, diabe

23、tes (糖尿病), some cancers, and many other health issues.One out of three children born in West Virginia today will have diabetes by the time they grow up, said Nidia Henderson, a manager for the public employees insurance program. Thats a terrible thing and not acceptable.All of West Virginias 157 mid

24、dle schools are using the video game. School officials hope that all public schools in the state will use the game within the next three years. However, officials emphasize that the game is not meant to substitute physical education and health classes.The game will be part of physical education clas

25、ses and afterschool programs.36. Why do public schools in West Virginia develop “Dance Revolution” ?A. Because most of the students dont like dancing.B. Because it can help students get a better shape.C. Because losing weight is necessary to students.D. Because it can make students activities colorf

26、ul.37. The second paragraph mainly talks about_.A. how to get more exerciseB. what are needed in the gameC. how to play a dance video gameD. who can practise the game38. According to the text,which of the following is NOT true?A. About one person in three West Virginians is overweight.B. Overweight

27、may cause a lot of diseases.C. The problem of students overweight has been realized.D. There are only 157 schools in West Virginia.39. The underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph means “_”.A. replace B. change C. practise D. stop40. Which is the best title for the text?A. The Problem of O

28、verweightB. Dancing for HealthC. Overweight in West VirginiaD. A Dance Video GameBOne of the keys to being successful in what you do is persistence. Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take massive action on a constant basis in order to succeed.One of the things youll

29、 notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles that seem to jump out of nowhere in an attempt to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success that ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is

30、to be persistent and work through obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you wont experience the feeling of sweet success. Make your goal a challenging one!If you take the time to study a successful perso

31、n, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more “failures” than they have had “successes”. This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble, the more they get right back up and try again. On the other hand, people who dont get back up and try again never reach s

32、uccess. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the Happiest Place on Earth. Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared the joy of Disney. Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for rest

33、aurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1,009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today!Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at

34、something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrows succe

35、sses!41. The author seems to believe that _.A. challenges we come across are rewardingB. “sweet success” comes along with obstaclesC. the more obstacles we have, the better we feelD. we will reach our goal by challenging ourselves42. The reason why persistent people are successful is that_.A. they e

36、xperience a lot of failuresB. they are born to be very stubbornC. they have great ambitions in mind D. they dont give up in face of failure43. Why did Colonel Sanders spend two years driving across the United States? A. To count the number of restaurant in America. B. To taste different foods and fi

37、nd special recipes.C. To find restaurants and sell recipes for fried chicken. D. To open more Kentucky Fried Chicken chain stores.44. The word underlined in the third paragraph maybe means “_”.A. withdrewB. achievedC. sprawlD. fell45. What does the author advise us to do in Paragraph 4?A. To confirm

38、 whether your goal is practical.B. To modify your approach from time to time.C. To change our circumstances constantly. D. To learn from our past mistakes.CThe earths most rich resourcewater has become one of the most precious resources in the United States as rivers, lakes, and freshwater reservoir

39、s are increasingly exploited for human use. Consequently, using precise farming techniques to refine “irrigation scheduling” is a research area of particular interest to Susan Moran, a researcher with the US department of Agriculture. She explains that in the southwest, irrigation is both difficult

40、and expensive. There, she says, farmers have a tendency to over irrigate, spending both more time and money than is necessary. “Im trying to provide new information that could be used by farmers to schedule irrigations to improve their profitability and use less water,” Moran says. “Farmers often lo

41、ok at weather changes and then schedule irrigation based on that information. But if they had better information, they could use scientific models to compute more precisely how much water their crop is using. ”Rather than guessing their crops potential need for water based upon weather changes, farm

42、ers can use remote sensors to measure how much water their crop is actually using. This would give them a more accurate measure of how much more water it needs. Moran believes that if farmers are getting good and timely measurements of plant and air temperature, then they can program when and how mu

43、ch water to give each crop through an irrigation system. No more water would be used than needed, thus saving cost and conserving water. Moran introduces one study she conducted in Arizona to investigate the use of remote sensing data for scheduling cotton irrigations. Typically, those farmers irrig

44、ate ten times per growing season, but evidence showed that some of those farmers could achieve basically the same harvest with only nine irrigations. “In those cases, one less irrigation saved more than all the cost of remote sensing data,” she states. “Both irrigation and satellite remote sensing d

45、ata are expensive. But then again many farmers are used to wording together as a group. They are used to sharing. Im hoping they could do the same with remote sensing datapurchase one scene over a large area to cover many farms, which would further reduce the cost. ”46. What does Moran think is the

46、problem with farmers?A. Over-used reservoirs. B. Precision farming. C. Irrigation researches. D. Over-irrigation. 47. How can farmers get the new information about their crop?A. To reschedule irrigation as required. B. To watch weather changes regularly. C. To use remote sensors as researchers sugge

47、st. D. To use scientific models since computing is more reliable. 48. What do farmers check upon when they decide how much water each crop needs?A. Profitability. B. Remote sensors. C. The cost. D. Air temperature. 49. Whats the purpose of Moran introducing the study she carried out in Arizona?A. To

48、 investigate the use of remote sensing data. B. To support her viewpoint in the previous paragraph. C. To show how farmers can reap a harvest. D. To criticize those farmers who used too much water. 50. What is among the best possible ways to help save farmers money?A. Changing irrigation. B. Sharing

49、 sensing data. C. Buying one computer. D. Extending the farms. DImagine that the genome(基因组)is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5, 000 v

50、olumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the Danube River. This is an enormous

51、document, a huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus(核)of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin. The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor(比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digit

52、al information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right while some parts of the ge

53、nome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time. While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pag

54、es, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules(分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself. 51. How do human genomes read according to the passage? A. Only from left to right. B. Only from right to left. C. From both direc

55、tions at the same time D. From one direction at a time. 52. We can learn from the passage that the human genome_. A. is as long as the Danube RiverB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself53. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _ . A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientis
