Who Is James Bond?

The latest Bond film is an enormous box-office(票房) hit. But who is James Bond? Where does he come from? Author Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, told us something about the origins of the world's most famous secret agent.

In the first Bond novel, Ian Fleming told us that James Bond was the son of a Scottish father and an Asian mother. But perhaps this was not really true. The title of the 19th Bond film,“The World Is Not Enough," was based on the Latin motto of the Bond family, which is mentioned in one of the early novels. However, it now appears that the motto is not that of the Scottish Bonds, but that of a different Bond family, who came from England. So perhaps Bond is English, not Scottish.

Bond went to Eton College, the same school as his creator Ian Fleming. This is a school where young people learn how to move in high society, like Bond does so well.

After leaving school, Bond did not go to university. He joined the British Secret Service. He soon got promoted to the top. From then on he was 007, "Iicensed to kill", and so began a career which would take him to all the corners of the earth.

In the early days, Bond's role was quite clear. He was working for the West. His main enemies were men from the KGB and other dangerous organizations. Since the end of the Cold War, the role of the Service has changed, and Bond's job profile has changed with it. Now his main enemies are the big bosses of organized crime and international terrorism.

Unlike the Cold War, organized crime is unlikely to come to an end. We can therefore be sure that James Bond, the best-known English fictional hero of the 20th century, has many more adventures ahead of him.

Universal Gestures

Gestures for victory, defeat and stress are almost the same in all countries.

On the front page of a newspaper we often see the picture of people holding their head in shock. People put their hands on their head or over their mouth when they look on a scene with shock or horror.

Chris Ulrich is an expert on body language. He said that covering your mouth or putting your hands on your head helps make you feel safer from a perceived threat. By covering part of your face you can feel hidden from the shocking event. Additionally these reactions can help a person comfort himself through touch. Urich said it is a self comforting gesture to help people in the moment.

In times of strong anxiety, people will twist their hands to calm themselves. Ulrich said it is a reaction people often have when they are in font of an audience or nervous.“I's a comfort for them that they'll get through it," said UIrich. He relates that gesture to a parent trying to calm a child.

Most athletes react to victories or defeats with specific behaviors. A 2008 study examined pictures of judo (柔道) competitors during the 2008 Olympic Games. They were from different countries, but they showed similar behaviors when they won a match. The winners would throw their head back or raise their hands in triumph. Ulrich said these victory behaviors are a way winners“explode" out and take up more space.

However, if an athlete suffers a loss, he will act in a way that makes him physically smaller, such as hanging his head.“When you lose, you want to disappear," said UIrich. The study also found that the judo competitors had the same behavior when they lost.

11. People put their hands over their mouth to _________.

A. avoid a danger 

B. gain self-comfort

C. hide their shock

D. show their anxiety

【答案】C

【解析】题干的意思是人们用手捂住嘴是为什么，根据原文中“People put their hands on their head or over their mouth when they look on a scene with shock or horror.”可知，人们用手捂住嘴是因为当他们看到震惊或恐惧的场景时才会这样。因此选C. hide their shock。

12. People tend to twist their hands when they are _________.

A. Depressed

B. angry

C. Shocked

D. nervous

【答案】D

【解析】题干的意思是当人们怎样的时候会扭双手呢？根据原文第四段“In times of strong anxiety, people will twist their hands to calm themselves. ”可知，人们在极度焦虑的时候，会扭曲自己的双手让自己平静下来。因此选D. nervous。

13. In Paragraph4,“that gesture”refers to _________.

A. shaking one's hands   

B. covering one's face

C. twisting one's hands  

D. rubbing one's face

【答案】C

【解析】题干的意思是在第4段中，“那种手势”指什么。由于通读第4段内容，只介绍了一种手势，即人们在紧张的时候会扭动双手。因此，“那种手势”指扭动双手。答案应选C. twisting one's hands。

14. Judo winners often act in a way that makes them _________.

A. occupy more space

B. appear physically smaller

C. obtain more respect

D. become more competitive

【答案】A 

【解析】题干的意思是柔道胜利者们的这种行为方式使他们怎么样。根据原文“these victory behaviors are a way winners“explode" out and take up more space.”中的“take up more space”可知，是占用更多的空间。因此选A. occupy more space。

15. The judo losers would _________.

A. raise their arms

B. lower their heads

C. beat their chests

D. sit on their knees

【答案】B

【解析】题干的意思是柔道失败者会怎么样。根据原文“if an athlete suffers a loss, he will act in a way that makes him physically smaller, such as hanging his head”中“hanging his head”，可知，当运动员们失败了，他们会使他们的身体变得更小，比如垂着头。

Little Steps, Big Reward

➊ More than 145 million Americans take walking as part of their exercise, according to a recent report. That's 15 million more people walking than last year. Many places in America have reported an increase in walking. But most of the walkers are found in big cities like New York.

❷ Despite the increase in walking, only about 30% of Americans say they have at least 3 hours to take exercise a week. Our society has been conditioned to be inactive. People rely on modern conveniences and become lazy. The inactive lifestyle has a negative aspect. We are more likely to be in poor health like overweight, which will threaten our life span. That's where walking comes in.

❸ Walking is the best way to improve our health. Just 30 minutes of regular quick walking can help lose weight. At the same time, it can help lower the risk of heart disease and some cancers, and improve our blood pressure. If 30 minutes is too much, we may divide it into three 10-minute parts during the day. Most of us can find 10 minutes if we really try.

❹ Walking requires only a pair of shoes and suits any schedules. Keep a pair of sport shoes at work. If you have a few minutes of free time, make use of them to take a quick walk. Even if you go to a health cluh several times a week. you can still look for ways to be active while at work. It may be walking downstairs for a direct talk rather than sending an email.

❺ Small efforts can make a big difference. But the hardest part for us is getting started. It's usually like this. When people get to a comfort level of walking for 10 minutes, they might think about trying 11 minutes. That first step is really worthy.

17. Paragraph ❷:

【答案】F

【解析】第2段在说人们依赖现代的便利设施而变得懒惰。不活跃的生活方式也有消极的一面。我们更有可能处于不健康的状态，比如超重，这将威胁到我们的寿命。答案F的意思是现代生活方式对我们的健康有负面影响，因此选F. Moderm lifestyle affects our health negatively。

18. Paragraph ❸:

【答案】D

【解析】根据第3段第1句“Walking is the best way to improve our health”，散步是改善我们健康的最好方法。选项D的意思最符合题意，因此选D. Walking is a great way for health improvement。

19. Paragraph ❹:

【答案】C

【解析】根据第4段第1句“Walking requires only a pair of shoes ”步行只需要一双鞋。选项C的意思是步行的优点是简单。因此选C. The advantage of walking is its simplicity.

【解析】题目的意思是很多疾病很大程度上是由什么引起的。根据原文“People rely on modern conveniences and become lazy. The inactive lifestyle has a negative aspect”人们依赖现代的便利设施而变得懒惰。不活跃的生活方式使人们更有可能处于不健康的状态。因此选B. our inactiveness我们本身。

Africa is the second largest continent on Earth. It is about 8,000 kilometers long from north to south. It can be divided into three major regions: northern Africa, central Africa, and southern Africa.       26     

Africa is separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea (地中海). It is connected to Asia in the east. For this reason, it has been easy for people from Europe, Asia and other areas to come to North Africa.   27  

Most of North Africa is covered by the Sahara Desert.   28  There is little rainfall here. The few people who live in the desert live in oases (绿洲). The valley of the Nile River forms one of the oases that stretch across the desert in the east.

Many North African nations have a very important resource. They have large deposits of petroleum.   29   In return, these nations receive a lot of money. They are spending some of this money to make life better for their people.

Egypt is an important nation in North Africa.  30   It has served as a bridge between Africa and Asia. People from many nations have passed through Egypt. Today, it controls the Suez Canal.

29.【答案】B

【解析】根据原文“空29题”的前一句“They have large deposits of petroleum.”他们有大量的石油储藏，和后一句“In return, these nations receive a lot of money”作为回报，这些国家得到了大量的资金。可推测该填空作者想表达的应是这些石油被运往世界许多地方。因此选B. This oil is shipped to many parts of the world.
