阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
If there is one thing I’m sure about , it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers . It is not that newspapers are a necessity . Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio . Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday . But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation .
The nature of what is news may change . What basically makes news is what affects our lives—and the big political stories , the coverage of the wars , earthquakes and other disasters , will continue much the same . I think there will be more coverage of scientific research , though . It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives , like genetic engineering . In the future , I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are .
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from the Fleet Street and printed out in our own home . In fact , I’m pretty sure that is how it will happen in future . You will probably be able to choose from a menu , making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read —say, sports and international news .
I think people have got it wrong when they talk abut competition between the different media . They actually feed off each other . Some people once foresee that television would kill off newspapers , but that hasn’t happened . What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air . And as for the Internet , it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen .
56.What will probably be on in the newspapers made by yourself ?
A.Sports and international news . B.A menu of all the news .
C.The most important news .YCY D.What you’re interested in .
57.The word “feed off” in the last paragraph means .
A.live on B.fight with C.depend on D.kill off
58.What is the best title for the passage ?
A.Newspapers—the Winner of Different Media .
B.The Future of Newspapers .
C.Make your Own Newspapers .
D.The Changes of Media .
B

As part of its ongoing effort to enlist children as the guardians (one who guards ) of the future in the fight to save the earth’s environment , the United Nations ecological agency has announced its annual painting competition on the theme of deserts and desertification (沙漠化).
“Children are an important part of our world . They are our future and often they are our conscience.” Klaus Toepfer , Executive Director of the UN Environmental Program (UNEP) said.
“Our children provide the inspiration , the enthusiasm and the idealism that this world needs. They know something needs to be done and we must listen to them . One way in which we can listen to them is by giving them the opportunity to express themselves in art—and by taking their art seriously .”
The International Painting Competition on the Environment is part of UNEP’s program for children and youth entitled Tunza , which means to treat with care and respect in Swahili .
Besides UNEP, the competition is supported by the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE), Bayer AG and the Nikon Corporation . It has been held annually since 1990 and in that time has received over 160,000 entries from children in over 100 countries .
The theme of this year’s Competition, Deserts and Desertification ,is also the theme of the 2006 International Year as well as World Environment Day of that year .
The issue of desertification concerns the entire planet , UNEP says , because around one third of the world’s population live in drylands and their worsening is a very real threat to people’s lives and livelihoods , as well as to the health of the planet as a whole .
Children who will be between the ages of 6 and 14 years on World Environment Day 2006 (5 June 2006) from all regions of the world are invited to deliver their paintings on the theme to their Regional UNEP Office by 20 January 2006 . Further information can be obtained at the Competition’s website [ www. unep.org /tunza /paintcomp15]

65.What’s the situation in the natural environment ?
A.One third of the world’s population live in drylands .
B.Many people’s lives and livelihoods are in danger .

In contrast , Fei and Nie’s flight saw them leave the re-entry capsule and enter the orbital capsule (轨道舱), taking off their heavy suits and putting on ordinary work clothes so they could move around easily.
To remove worries that China could use space for military purposes , Premier Wen Jiabao said the purpose of the mission was to conduct experiments “entirely for peaceful purposes.”

Most people feel stress (压力) sometimes in their lives . Some people like this pressure and work better because of it . Other people are not comfortable with any stress at all ; they soon become unhappy if they feel stress . Sometimes stress can lead people to do things they wouldn’t usually do , such as overeating , smoking , drinking, or using drugs . Stress , however , is a very normal part of life .
It is important to understand that stress comes from the things that are happening in our lives . It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened . For example , a crying baby may be stressful to one person , but it may not bother another person at all ; a traffic jam may be stressful to one person while another may be able to stay calm .
We can experience stress any time we feel we don’t have control .It can come from a feeling that we can’t do anything about a situation . Basically , it is the body’s way of showing anxiety or worry .
Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition . It is also influenced by how tired we are , whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals , whether we get enough physical exercise , and whether we can relax .
The point at which stress becomes a problem changes from day to day , even for the same person . In some situation , if we are rested and feel good about ourselves , a little stress will not be a problem . In another situation , if we are tired or feel unsure about our abilities , even a small amount of stress can cause problems . For example , we might begin to worry bout things that haven’t happened yet instead of working on things that are happening now . Or we might not feel able to find solutions to everyday problems .
If we feel stress , there are several things that we can do . First ,we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly . This is not difficult to do . It is the first step toward becoming calm and starting to think clearly .
We can also take some time out of our worried , busy schedule(日程表)to notice the small things in life . Smell the air , look at the flowers , notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree—these activities can do much to quiet us and give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule .

Changes in People’s Diet in China
As can be seen from the table , changes have been taking place in people’s diet in China since 2001 . The consumption of grain and meat is decreasing year by year though grain is still the main food , while that of milk , fruit and vegetables , is increasing steadily . Besides , we can discover that the structure of diet is getting more and more reasonable and stable .
In my point of view , there are two major reasons for the changes . First , nowadays people can afford to buy milk and fruit once considered luxurious foods with the development of economy . Second , people are more concerned about the quality of diet . People have come to realise that eating too much meat results in some health problems while having more fruit and vegetables contributes to good health .
All in all , people’s living level has been greatly improved in the past five years . And we can expect that there will be a more healthy and proper diet for us .
