There’s a whole lot of soot（烟灰）that gets stuck on the inside. That stuff has to get cleaned, or you could have a serious fire risk. While nowadays we have easier ways of doing this dirty job, in the way back days somebody used to climb up the chimney and clean all that soot. And the thing is, not just anybody could do it.You had to be really small to fit up in the chimney, so they used to give the task to kids –some as young as four or five years old. They worked for their boss known as a master-sweep. They were often covered in soot, and were very likely to get burned. They often developed what became known as soot wart, a form of cancer.Are your unfairness bells ringing? William Blake’s certainly were. The physical dangers and widespread unfairness of the chimney-sweeping job really stuck in his throat, so much so that he wrote not one, but two poems called ―The Chimney Sweeper‖.The first poem (the one we’re discussing here) was publis hed in 1789 in a book called Songs of Innocence. These little poems took children and the joys of childhood innocence as their subject. As you’ve probably guessed by now, many of the poems in Songs of Innocence, like ―The Chimney Sweeper‖, are about the wa ys in which childhood innocence is destroyed by unkind old adults. For Blake, innocence is, in many ways, a total joke. It doesn’t exist, because it’s always taken away by the realistic world – chimney-sweeping, death, poverty, etc.What does a five-year-old chimney sweeper in 18th-century England have to do with you? More than you might think. It is reported that 150 million kids are in child labor in developing countries. Many of them work long hours and face dangerous health risks. Like Blake’s chimney sweeper, these kids are not even given a chance at innocence because experience keeps getting in the way.24. Why did Blake write two poems called ―The Chimney Sweeper‖?A. He was very interested in the job.B. He had much experience in the job.C. He considered the job very important.D. He felt deeply sorry for the kid workers.25 Which of the following can best describe the chimney-sweeping job?A. E asy and interesting.B. Dirty and dangerous.C. Pleasant and well-paidD. Challenging and creative.26. How did Blake look at the realistic world?A. ThankfullyB. RegretfullyC. DoubtfullyD. Negatively27. In the last paragraph, the writer explains _____________.A. the realistic meaning of ―The Chimney Sweeper‖B. the great infl uence of Blake’s Songs of InnocenceC. why child labor still exists in developing countriesD. why chimney-sweeping becomes unnecessary todayCWhenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the wo rd ―diet‖ everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically （心理上地）and physically.It’s obvious that d iet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word ―diet‖ in food labels.What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet productsmake people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and straggle.As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.28. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosing diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people29. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ________.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. pay attention to their daily dietC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out varieties of diet foods30. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.A. diet products cause no painB.losing weight is effortlessC. it costs a lot to lose weightD. diet products are free of fat and calories31. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ________.A. are over-consumedB. are short of basic nutrientsC. lack chemicalsD. provide too much energyDRunning on EmptyFor almost a century, scientists have assumed, tiredness—or exhaustion—in athletes originates in the muscles(肌肉). Precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the ―Limitations Theory‖. In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品).In the past few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, has examined this standard theory. Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of ex haustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness. This ―Central Governor‖ theory remains controversial, but it does explain many puzzling aspects o f athletic performance.A recent discovery that Noakes calls the ―lactic acid paradox‖ made him start researching this area seriously. Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low. Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going. Obviously, something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.Noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has long been known that during exercise, the body never uses 100% of the available muscle fibers(纤维). The amount used varies, but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%. His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs declined—even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong. ―The cyclists may have felt c ompletely exhausted,‖ he says, ―but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibers.‖ This, he believes, is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.32, Which of the following is supported by the "Limitations Theory"?A．Tiredness is caused by signals from brain．B．The body uses 100% of the muscle fibers in exercise．C．Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy．D．Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low．33．Noakes has found out that .A．muscle fibers control athletes' movements.B．mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness.C．lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test.D．different exercises use different amount of muscle fibers.34．It is likely that both theories accept that .A．the energy in human bodies can be.B．the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports.C．tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise.D．lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise.35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The description of a new test.B. The explanation of the theory.C. The whole process of the research.D. The puzzling evidence of a study.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
