READING PASSAGE :Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
Most of us lead unhealthy lives: we spend far too much time sitting down If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby and our systems sluggish Then the guilt feelings start : “I must go on a diet”, “ I must try to lose weight” “ I must get more fresh air and exercise”, “I must stop smoking”, “I must try to keep fit” There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid I’m thinking of such features of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress But keeping fit is a way to minimize the effects of these evils
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take some sports While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way through the crowds to get to the best seats
For those who not particularly enjoy competitive sports – and it is especially difficult to so if you are not good at them – there are such solitary activities as cycling, walking and swimming What often happens, though, is that you them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair Of course you can be very thorough about exercise, even fanatical Many sports shops now sell frightening pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets of shiny spring steel, which, according to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of fitness, provided that you follow a rigorous and regular programme of exercises Such programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal into improbable shapes
(6)Even after you have found a routine for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics or isometrics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete metal and physical relaxation Now, this does not mean snoozing in the armchair or going dancing ( which is a good form of exercise in itself ) It has to with deep breathing , emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on
Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation Contrary to popular belief, you not have to learn a lot of strange words or become a Buddhist in order to benefit from Yoga It seems ironical, though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense, we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity – physical effort on the one hand, and relaxation on the other – which were the natural way of life of our forefathers
41 Unfitness is the result of _.
A lack of fresh air and exercise B overeating, smoking and living in town
C not eating properly and not getting enough exercise D not taking part in sports
42 Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _.
A causes of unfitness B bad features of living in towns C the things we must avoid if we are to stay healthy D industrial life and work
43 Our reaction to being out of condition is to _.
A give up smoking and go on a diet B start a programme of keep-fit exercises C make resolutions to lead a healthier life D take up a sport
44 A lot of people who go to the park at the weekend are _.
A football players B football spectators
C keep-fit enthusiasts D unfit or unhealthy
45 You cannot really enjoy competitive sports unless you are _. A young enough to play them B very good at them
C fit enough to play them D a solitary kind of person
46 The reason we don’t get much out of solitary sports such as walking is that we not _
A them often enough B have the encouragement of others C take them seriously enough D them vigorously enough 47 The writer does not like keep-fit programmes because he thinks _.
A they take up too much time B there are much easier ways of getting fit
C they are a waste of time D the apparatus is very silly 48 To be healthy we must _.
A keep fit and active B keep fit and learn to relax
C be active and practise Yoga D be very careful about what we eat and drink
49 Many people believe that in order to practise Yoga _.
(7)A they were careful to get plenty of fresh air and keep fit B they lived in the country and spent time out of doors C they had simple work to and very little to worry about D their way of life involved both exercise and relaxation Answers

READING PASSAGE 2: Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong's food, by 2050, a new report predicts Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China
By 2050 about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it supports, with tropical and sub-tropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland's breadbasket The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt
"China will produce smaller crops In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be decreased production because of water limitations," Dr Rik Leemans, one of the authors of the report, said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land "It looks very difficult for the world as a whole" he said
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere World temperatures already have increased this century by about 0.6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100
(8)The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr David Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields "Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as well," he said Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by 2100, depending on whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
"Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation - the whole lot," Mr Melville said, adding that sea-walls would be needed Depleted fresh water supplies would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels Mr Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency
51 Overall, what sort of picture is painted of the future effects of global warming?
A disastrous B potentially disastrous
C relatively optimistic D on balance things are going to be satisfactory 52 What is this passage?
A a report
B a preview of a report
C an article describing a response to a report D an article previewing a report
53 Mr David Melville suggests that in the future more food could be imported into Hong Kong He thinks
these measures could be………
A efficient B sufficient C insufficient D inefficient 54 In paragraph 2, negated is closest in meaning to………
A made possible B made ineffective C reduced D paid for 55 In paragraph 7, depleted could be replaced by which of the following?
A reduced B poor C decaying D decimated
56 The main point of paragraph is to describe:
A effects of changes in the climate of China on food production B future changes in the climate of China
C effects of changes in the climate of China on the growing season D projected future changes in the climate of China
57 The main point of paragraph is to describe A global warming
B the effects of global warming
C the causes and projected effects of global warming D the causes and effects of global warming
(9)B suggesting that reclamation areas are at risk C criticizing current safeguards
D making a call for action
59 How would you describe the Dr Leemans’ attitude towards China?
