【題目】 People travelling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly can anyone positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy, with the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon leads you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep you rarely manage to do so. 【1】 Long car journey are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with traffic.

【2】 You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food—always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, and you are likely to get seasick; no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice up to a third of their holidays for the pleasure of traveling on a ship.

Airplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and expensive. 【3】 Traveling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an unusual experience. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An airplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from the view, you can enjoy the extraordinary, sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: 【4】

A. By comparison, trips by sea offer a great variety of civilized comforts.

B. You will never have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and tiring journey.

C. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted.

D. Besides you will hesitate over the choice od the day flight or night flight.

E. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort.

F. You are faced with various forms of transportation when you travel.

【題目】The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know, we’re sitting while we’re eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.

New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.

However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can’t throw away physical activity. It’s extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”

Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.

Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.

Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.

【1】The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to ________．

A. dangerous B. impressive

C. comfortable D. common

【2】Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk?

A. Sitting long may help people live longer.

B. Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.

C. People are unaware of the harm of sitting too long.

D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

【3】What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?

A. It’s been ignored by many scientists. B. It’s a study that begins too late.

C. It’s an entirely new area of study. D. It’s been a hot subject for scientists.

【4】Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?

A. To give them more comfort. B. To improve their work efficiency.

C. To offer them the chance to exercise. D. To seek pleasure while working.

In Africa

The Maghreb countries are crowded with tourists.The climate is hot and dry.The Atlantic coast of Morocco is pleasant thanks to the ocean influence.Further to the south it is the rainy season and it is only along the latitude(緯度)of Kenya and Tanzania that the climate becomes favourable to visitors.
