Section B Passage One
Farmington， Utah， is a more pleasant community since a local girls’ 4-H club improved Main Street. Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72-foot curbside that was covered with weeds， rocks and trash.（16） Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot， five flats of flowers.（17） They also took terms in watering， weeding and maintaining the plot. Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they’ve learned how to work with tools， and improve their work habits.（18） One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project， she would not even pull a weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement， and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community. City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees， building cooking facilities， pick-me tables， swings and public rest rooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agree to follow the project through to completion， because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work.（19） The project is a growing one and has spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center， making the atmosphere pleasant．

Thank you for coming， everyone. Today’s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term， and that is why we have invited all of you here today. （23） Let’s start with power. It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many

alternative fuel vehicles on the market， powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know， of all these alternative fuel vehicles， the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure， in the past electric vehicles have their problems， namely， a limited driving range， and very few recharging points， which limited their use. （24） Now， however， recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. （25）Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus， importantly， the power source is rechargeable， so this does not involve using any valuable resources. Moving on to communications， very soon， cars will be linked to GPS satellites， so they’ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based， so， for example， you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”， and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You’ll also be able to receive email， music and movies， all via an Internet link. So just type in the destination you want， sit back， sleep， watch your movie， whatever． 23.

Section C
My favorite TV show? “The Twilight Zone.” I especially（26）like the episode called “The Printer’s Devil.” It’s about a newspaper editor who’s being driven（27）out of business by a big newspaper syndicate—you know, a group of papers owned by the same people.
He is about to commit （28） suicide when he is interrupted by an old man who says his name is Smith. The editor is not only offered 5，000 dollars to pay off (29) his newspaper’s debts， but this Smith character also offers his services for free. It turns out (30 ) that the guy operates the printing machine with amazing speed, and soon he’s turning out newspapers with shocking （31）headlines. The small paper is successful again. The editor is amazed at how quickly Smith gets his stories—only minutes after they happen—but soon he is presented with a contract (32) to sign. Mr. Smith, it seems, is really the devil! The editor is frightened by this news， but he is more frightened by the idea of losing (33) his newspaper, so he agrees to sign. But soon Smith is reporting the news even before it happens—and it’s all terrible—one disaster after another. Anyway， there is a little more to tell, but I don’t want to ruin (34) the story for you. I really like these old episodes of “The Twilight Zone” because the stories are fascinating. They are not realistic. But then again, in a way they are，because they deal with (35) human nature.

文章大意： 本文主要讲述了身体运动的三种方式：步行、力量训练和灵活平衡训练，并分别讨论了各自特点和对身体机能的意义，文章层次清晰，脉络分明。
36. H根据上下文可以判断需要选择一个形容词来修饰risk，空格前的定冠词提示用最高级。该句句意为：人人都知道怎么步行，并且步行受伤的风险最低。根据常识也可得出正确答案为lowest，意为“最低的”。
37. J根据语法可知需填入一个形容词。该句大意为：为从步行中获得最大收益，每天步行45分钟。maximum 意为 “最大的”，符合题意，故为正确选项。
38. D根据上下文可以判断需要选择一个名词来与important搭配，根据句意判断strength training（力量训练）应该是physical activity身体运动的一个组成部分。该句句意为：力量训练是身体运动另一个重要组成部分。 component意为“组成部分，构成成分”，符合题意，故为正确答案。

40. A根据上下文可以判断此处需要选择现在分词引导一个伴随状语，所以只能在allowing和helping之间作出选择；根据上一句“一般而言，你会每周做两到三次力量训练”，而这么做会使你在训练之间有恢复期，所以选allowing“允许，使成为可能”符合文意，故为正确答案。

44. L根据上下文可以判断需要选择名词与general“一般的，大体的”搭配，根据下文可知选择principle“原理”；该句句意为：一般原理是简单的：每当身体处于同一位置上一会儿，让身体向相反方向舒展一会儿是有好处的。principle意为 “原则，原理”，符合句意，故为正确答案。 45. C根据上下文可以判断需要选择副词来修饰动词stretch“伸展”，根据句意“只要身体保持某个姿
