A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial（冰川的）activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier descended, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea. As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils（生物化石） found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier. The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged(参差不齐的） coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long. For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds. The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, hiking, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island. 68The large number of small islands along the coast of Maine is the result of _. A. the drowning of the Maine coastline B. glaciers forcing mountains into the seaC. the irregularity of the Maine coastlineD. ocean waters flooding the mountain range 69From the passage, we learn that _. A. the coastline of Maine is ten times longer after the Ice AgeB. there are more than 2500 islands along the Maine coastline C. Mt. Desert Island has been broken apart by a 7-mile-long water stretchD. an arts community gave way to the summer homes on Mt. Desert Island 70What CANNOT be inferred about the Acadia Nation Park? A. It welcomes all the people, rich or poor.B. It has much appeal for bird-watching lovers. C. It offers visitors both entertainment and education. D. It is a border between the two geographical zones. 71Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The past and the present of Maine B. The formation of Maine coastline C. Efforts for preserving national parksD. Tourist attractions on Mt. Desert Island参考答案 68-71 BCDAE Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid(酸) accumulation in your body Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foodsWhen we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw formThese enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the foodWhen we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstreamIn both instances, the result is obesity(肥胖症）When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fatImproperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidicTo protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeatProcessed foods also upset the digestive cycleThe body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the bodys cellsThe bodys metabolism(新陈代谢)becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficientWhen that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in bodyEating the right types of raw and whole foods can helpIts also important to restore your enzyme balanceYou need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme productionIf you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach 72It can be inferred from Para2 that _ Afoods with natural enzymes help people keep fit Bwed better be cautious about raw and whole foods Cit is essential for people to protect their vital organs Dgiving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle 73Processed foods are unhealthy because they _ Adestroy bodys cellsBmay lead to obesity Care difficult to digest Dstop bodys metabolism 74What is the main purpose of this passage? ATo warn people of the problem of obesity BTo advocate eating more raw and whole foods CTo inform people of the harm of processed foods DTo tell the differences between raw and processed foods 75What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph? ADifferent causes of acid accumulation BCorrect ways to cook raw foods CSuitable types of raw and whole foods DActive approaches to avoid acid参考答案 72-75 ABBC
