Ward off Travel Bugs
（1）As the holiday season approaches， so does the prospect of jet lag， an upset stomach or sunburn.With care and some help from natural sources， however， it is quite possible to avoid these problems.
（2）You can start to prepare a couple of weeks before you leave.Food poisoning will make any holiday miserable， but by taking some medicine such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria， you can reduce the likelihood of poisoning caused by food or water tainted（感染，污染）with unfamiliar bacteria.
（3）By improving the bacteria balance in your digestive tract， you crowd out the pathogenic（病原的）bacteria and stop them gaining a foothold.The beneficial bacteria also produce gentle but effective natural antibiotics（抗生素）in your gut.
（4）In many holiday locations you need to remember the basics： drink bottled water， avoid undercooked meat and ensure that food hygiene（卫生）is adequate.If you get food poisoning， drink plenty of water to stay hydrated（保持水分）and see a doctor.However，if you detect diarrhea （腹泻）early enough， you might like to try taking about 10 or 15 pancreatic digestive enzymes， which can digest the multiplying bacteria before they take over.
（5）Taking a teaspoon of silicol gel can also help.This lines the stomach and upper intestinal area and binds with bacteria and viruses，allowing them to be safely passed out of the gut.When you pack， include grapefruit-seed extract， which is an excellent all-round anti-bacterial， anti- parasitic，anti-viral（抗毒的）and anti-fungal（杀菌的）agent.
（6）Your flight can also be made more pleasant.Peppermint oil and ginger capsules（胶囊）ward off motion sickness，but a more delicious option is to eat crystallized ginger.If you tend to get ear-ache on take-off and landing，you can use special ear plugs with filler that slows down the rate of change in air pressure.
（7）The greatest concern is “economy class syndrome”， the popular name for deep-vein thrombosis（血栓症）， which can lead to blood clots traveling from the legs to the lungs， heart or brain.To reduce this， you need a couple of hours to stay hydrated， and avoid alcohol.
（8）You can also reduce the severity of inflammation by taking a daily gram of vitamin C with the bioflavonoid quercetin.Vitamin C and quercetin also help to reduce prickly heat.
（9）Finally， if any adverse symptoms persist while overseas， you should see a doctor.

The Romance of Arthur
Most cultures have some sort of hero who represents the best values of what its people believe in.The unusual thing about King Arthur is that legends of his heroism have persisted for several centuries and spread far beyond England， the place where they began.
The earliest stories of King Arthur represent him as a warrior who fought and defeated the invading Norsemen in the years around A.D.700.This much of the Arthurian tale is probably based on fact.Whether called Arthur or not， there is a body of evidence supporting the existence of such a warrior.It is the later embellishments（美化）of the tale whose authenticity（真实性）is questionable.According to these， Arthur was born in a castle in Tintagel on the stormy western coast of England and because he was the illegal son of King Uther Pendragon， he was spirited away （拐走）by the magician Merlin and his true identity kept from him.He became king after freeing the sword Excalibur from the stone into which it was thrust.He married the beautiful Guinevereand assembled in his court all the noblest knights of the land， including Lancelot，with whom Guinevere would later be unfaithful to him.He was finally defeated in battle by his son Mordred.
This romantic tale greatly appealed to the English and the French in the Middle Ages， when the code of chivalry（骑士）-ideal qualities of knighthood-constituted an important part of many stories.Tales of the heroism of Galahad， Percival， Gawain， and many other of Arthur’s knights were spread as well.
In England today， there are many sites claiming a piece of the Arthurian an legend.There is a mined castle at Tintagel.Near Glastonbury are the remains of an ancient abbey where Arthur’s and Guinevere’s bodies were supposedly exhumed in the 12th century.Neither of these proves that the legend is true， but they do keep its mystique alive.
31.King Arthur’s father was____.
A.Lancelot B.Avalon C.Mordred D.Uther Pendragon
32.The writer seems to feel that the truth about Arthur is that he____.
A.existed B.was married to Guinevere
C.had many knights D.was born at Tintagael
33.The information in the second paragraph is mostly presented in____.
A.spatial order B.order from latest to earliest
C.order from earliest to latest D.order from least persuasive
34.In the last paragraph the word “exhumed” means____.
A.dug up from the grave B.buried
C.quarreled over D.built a church around
35.Another good title for this passage would be____.
A.Kings in the Seventh Century B.The Knights of the Round Table
C.Real or Legend？ D.Arthur’s Marriage to Guinevere.

An Essential Scientific Process
All life on the earth depends upon green plants.Using sunlight， the plants produce their own food.Then animals feed upon the plants.They take in the nutrients the plants have made and stored.But that’s not all.Sunlight also helps a plant produce oxygen.Some of the oxygen is used by the plant， but a plant usually produces more oxygen than it uses.The excess oxygen is necessary for animals and other organisms to live.
The process of changing light into food and oxygen is called photosynthesis.Besides light energy from the sun， plants also use water and carbon dioxide.The water gets to the plant through its roots.The carbon dioxide enters the leaves through tiny openings called stomata.The carbon dioxide travels to chloroplasts（叶绿体）， special cells in the bodies of green plants.This is where photosynthesis（光合作用）takes place.Chloroplasts contain the chlorophylls（叶绿素）that give plants their green color.The chlorophylls are the molecules that trap light energy.The trapped light energy changes water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and a simple sugar called glucose.
Carbon dioxide and oxygen move into and out of the stomata.Water vapor also moves out of the stomata.More than 90 percent of water a plant takes in through its roots escapes through the stomata.During the daytime， the stomata of most plants are open.This allows carbon dioxide to enter the leaves for photosynthesis.As night falls， carbon dioxide is not needed.The stomata of most plants close.Water loss stops.
If photosynthesis ceased， there would be little food or other organic matter on the earth.Most organisms would disappear.The earth’s atmosphere would no longer contain oxygen.Photosynthesis is essential for life on our planet.
36.In the first paragraph，the word “excess” means____.
A.heavy B.extra C.green D.liquid
37.Which of the following does not move through a plant’s stomata？
A.Carbon dioxide B.Water vapor.
C.Oxygen. D.Food.
38.In the title， the term Essential Scientific Process refers to____.
A.photosynthesis B.the formation of glucose
C.global warming D.water getting to the roots of plants
39.This passage is primarily developed by____.
A.explaining a process B.telling a story
C.comparing and contrasting D.convincing the reader of plants’ importance
40.Another good title for this passage would be____.
A.Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide B.Plants and Their Roots
C.How Photosynthesis Works D.Why Our Earth Needs Water

School Degrees
In the past， degrees were very unusual in my family.I remember the day my uncle graduated.We had a huge party， and for many years my mother called him “the genius” and listened to his opinion.Today in comparison， five of my brothers and sisters have degrees， and two are studying for their masters’.However， some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees.
People have several arguments against the need for degrees.They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree.People lose respect for the degree holder.It is also claimed that education has become a rat race.Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible.They know a lot about one narrow subject， but are unable to apply their skills.Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
However， I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.In the past education was only for the rich； and powerful.Now it is available to everyone， and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual.First of all， it is impossible to be overeducated.The more people are educated， the better the world will be， because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas.A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities.They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing， instead of being forced to take a job they dislike.Finally， a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country.It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion， although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education， I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.
41.What can we learn about the author’s family？
A.They used to disregard education.
B.They are overeducated now.
C.Few members were allowed to go to school in the past.
D.There are now more educated members than in the past.
42.The word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 3 refers to“____.
A.education B.workforce C.economy D.country
43.The author believes that education____.
A.reduces the value of degrees B.makes people inflexible
C.brings more job opportunities D.increases job competition
44.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage？
A.To argue about a disputed issue. B.To explain a complicated idea.
C.To describe a social phenomenon. D.To demonstrate a research result.
45.Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage？
A.Degree No Longer Matters B.Education is Still Valuable
C.Graduation and Jobs D.Problems with Education

Androids
Computers are now powerful enough to allow the age of humanoid robots to come.And it won’t be long before we will see realistic cyber companions， complete with skin， dexterity（灵敏）， and intelligence.They will be programmed to tend to your every need.
Will we ever want to marry robots？ Artificial intelligence researcher David Levy has published a book claiming human-robot relationships will become popular in the next few decades.____（46）Will humans really be able to form deep emotional attachments to machines？ It will， in fact， be relatively easy to form these strong attachments because the human mind loves to give human attributes to other creatures—even objects.
For example， researchers in San Diego recently put a small humanoid robot in with a toddler playgroup for several months.____（47） The children ended up treating it as a fellow toddler.When it lay down because its batteries were flat，the kids even covered it with a blanket.
In a few decades， when humanoid robots with plastic skin look and feel very real， will people want to form relationships with them？ What if the bots could hold a conversation？ And be programmed to be the perfect companions—soul mates， even？____（48） And like those toddlers in the experiment， they will be very accepting of them.
The next question， then， is whether there is anything wrong with having an emotional relationship with a machine.Even today there are people who form deep attachments to their pets and use them as substitutes for friends or even children.Few consider that unethical（不和伦理的，不道德的）.____（49） For those who always seem to end up marrying the wrong man or woman， a robotic Mr.or Ms.Right could be mighty tempting.As the father of artificial intelligence， Marvin Minsky， put it when asked about the ethics of lonely older people forming close relationships with robots： “If a robot had all the virtues of a person and was smarter and more understanding， why would the elderly bother talking to other bad-tempered old people？”
A robot could be programmed to be as dumb or smart， as independent or subservient（服从的）， as an owner desired.And that’s the big disadvantage.Having the perfect robot partner will damage the ability to form equally deep human-human relationships.People will always seem imperfect in comparison.When you’re behaving badly， a good friend will tell you.____（50） People in relationships have to learn to adapt to each other： to enjoy their common interests and to deal with their differences.It makes us richer， stronger， and wiser.A robot companion will be perfect at the start.However， there will be nothing to move the relationship to grow to greater heights.
A.It’s easier to have a robot companion instead of a human friend.
B.But a sophisticated robot will probably be even more attractive.
C.And if you want to go ahead and tie the knot with your special electronic friend，Levy said that such marriages will be socially acceptable by around 2050.
D.However， few owners will program their robots to point out their flaws.
E.Maybe your generation could resist， but eventually there will be a generation of people who grow up with humanoid robots as a normal part of life.
F.The robot knew each child because it was programmed with face and voice recognition.
