Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value? A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic watch to show the day, month, and date. Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $200,000 for one. These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid colour, fashionable style, and new uses in the 1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.
Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24-jewel mechanical movement, the kind desired by watch collectors. The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand. To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch-making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position.
You can get the watch either in person or by mail all at an affordable price. You will also receive good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return it within 30 days.

Results of a recent. Harris poll on free time shows that the average work week for many Americans is 50 hours. With the time spent eating, sleeping and taking care of household duties, there's little time left for leisure activities for many Americans.

In different countries, free time is spent in different ways. The results of a Harris poll showed that reading was the most popular spare time activity in the US. This was followed by watching TV.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements
for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.

23.What do we know about golf from the passage?
A) It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B) It causes water shortages around the world.
C) It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D) It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.

本题得分：7.0/10分Being fat is bad for you. On that, almost everyone agrees. It is just possible, though, that almost everyone is wrong. In fact, getting fat may be a mechanism that protects the body. The health problems (26)associated with fatness may
not be caused by it but be another consequence, another symptom, of overeating.
That is the heretical (异端邪说的) (27)proposal of Roger Unger and Philipp Scherer. They have been (28)reviewing the science of what has come to be known as metabolic syndrome (代谢综合症). This is a host of symptoms such as high blood pressure, insulin (胰岛素) resistance and fatness that seem to increase the (29)risk of heart disease and strokes and liver disease. Metabolic syndrome is (30)found in one-sixth of the American population.
"Syndrome" is the medical term for a (31)collection of symptoms whose common cause is not properly understood. The symptom of metabolic syndrome that appears first is usually fatness, so this is generally regarded as the (32)potential cause.
Dr. Unger and Dr. Scherer, however, turn this logic on its head. They point out that there is usually a period of many years between a person becoming overweight and his (33)developing other symptoms. If the growth of the body cells was directly harmful, that would not be the case. This is one of the lines of evidence that has led them to the conclusion that, in addition to its role in storing energy as a way to (34)fight against future famine, getting fat is a (35)protective mechanism against metabolic syndrome.
A) proposal
B) issue
C) developing
D) stored
E) protective
F) negative
G) fight
H) collection
I) reviewing
J) assigned
K) risk
L) found
M) discovered
N) associated
O) potential
26.正确答案为 N) associated 你选对了！
解析：N) associated
第36题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：与肥胖有关的健康问题。be associated with sth为固定搭配，意思是“与……有关、与……相关的”，所以此处填人associated。
第37题：上下文联系题。上文描述了一种对于肥胖的新的认识理论，这里是说这就是由Roger Unger 和Philipp Scherer提出的貌似异端邪说的新提议。Proposal有“建议、提议”的意思，所以此处填入proposal。
第38题：逻辑分析和语法结构题。由句子的结构可知，此处需要填入一个动词的现在分词形式。由常识推断可知，一种新的理论的创立肯定是在回顾以往研究的基础之上的，review意为“回顾、审查”，意思最为合适，所以此处填入reviewing。
第39题：常识判断题。由常识可知，高血压、胰岛素抗拒和肥胖都可能会增加心脏病、中风和肝病风险，risk意为“危险性、风险”，所以此处填入risk。
第40题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：研究发现六分之一的美国人患有代谢综合症。Find有“（经过研究、计算、测试等）发现、找出”的意思，这里用被动形式，所以此处填入found。
第41题：上下文联系题。上文提到syndrome时说这是指a host of symptoms（许多症状）。这里要选出与之意思相近的单词，a collection of可以表示“一堆、许多”的意思，所以此处填入collection。
第42题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：代谢综合症的首要表现一般是肥胖，所以肥胖往往被看做该病的潜在起因。Potential意为“潜在的、可能的”，所以此处填入potential。
第43题：单词用法题。Develop有患病、得病的意思。这里是说一个人体重超标和他患上其他症状之间通常有几年时间，所以此处填入developing。
第44题：固定用法题。这里要表达的意思是：对抗将来的饥饿。Fight against为固定用法，意为“与……作战；对抗……”，所以此处填入fight。
第45题：句子意思题。这里要表达的意思是：变胖是对抗代谢综合症的一种保护机制。Protective意思是“保护的、防护的”，所以此处填入protective。
27.正确答案为 A) proposal 你错选为 B) issue！
解析：A) proposal
28.正确答案为 I) reviewing 你错选为 C) developing！
解析：I) reviewing
29.正确答案为 K) risk 你选对了！
