Phoenix people awoke on Wednesday to a thick cover of dust on their cars , streets and just about everything else outside after a big sandstorm.
The storm on Tuesday evening grounded airplanes and led to traffic tie-ups . At the height of
the storm , visibility（能见度）was reduced to zero . Sandstorms are not uncommon in Arizona and other desert areas , but the size of this one and the dust it raised were highly unusual. “The greatness of this event was really exceptional, ” said Ken Waters , a meteorologist (气象学家) of the Na-tional Weather Service in Phoenix.“People who have been living in Arizona for 30-35 years say this is the biggest one they’ve ever seen.”
“The storm was driven by 60-mile-an –hour winds that collected the sand into a rolling brown cloud and sent it moving across the city , briefly damaging the lights of downtown Phoenix as it passed through . The sandstorm ran about 150 miles before dissipating, and at its peak（最高点）might have grown to as large as 100 miles wide and more than one mile high . The more dust it picks up , the higher the cloud goes, ” Mr. Waters said.
Arizona’s continuing drought –some areas have had no rain for four months –only made conditions worse . The drought in southern Arizona is the fifth-most extreme in the past 50 years . “The sandstorm closed Phoenix International Airport for about 45 minutes starting around 8 p.m , when visibility was reduced to one –eighth of a mile.”said Julie Rodriguez , an airport spokeswoman . “ Two flight were canceled and sand was also blown into some buildings.”

Recently , a study on thousands of fat men and women showed that more than one in three were perfected healthy or had only slight health problems . Scientists have pointed that it may be better to stay fat than go on diet after diet.
Many people think that one has to be thin to keep fit . However , fat people are no more likely to die at any given time than those of ideal weight . Indeed , they are less likely to be killed by heart disease . They are also in better health than those who have fought a constant battle with their weight by repeatedly dieting.
Researchers say there is more to good health than how much a person weighs , and that many people who are overweight are fine as they are . Repeated dieting can do more harm than good to their health . So , rather than try to lose the extra pounds , they should simply concentrate on not putting on any more weight .
The advice comes from the researchers at Toronto’s York University who surveyed the health of more than 6000 fat men and women for an average of 16 years . They accepted medical and physical tests and their results were compared with those of thousands of people of normal weight. It clearly showed that being slim wasn’t always better , according to the journal Applied Physiology , Nutrition and Metabolism.
Those who are overweight may be healthier as they may exercise more and eat better than thin people who try to hold back their appetites (食欲). And a stressed-out , stationary (久坐不动的) person of normal weight may be in worse shape than a fat person who exercises and keeps stress levels under control.
The Canadian researchers said that doctors should look at overall health rather than just use body mass index , a measure of weight compared to height , to judge whether a person needs to lose weight.
A previous study found that retired old people who were slightly overweight lived longer than those of normal weight .
Australian researchers said a bit of extra fat might give people the reserves needed to recover from illnesses . It is also possible that concern about the health of the overweight means that problems are found and treated earlier.
66. Which of the following is TRUE about the recent study?
A. It surveyed both fat and slim people.
B. It involved thousands of fat men and women.
C. It carried out some mental and physical tests.
D. It proved that we should try to put on weight.
67. According to the text , overweight people are less likely to die from
A. heart disease
B. repeatedly dieting
C. too much stress
D. high blood pressure
68. The advice from Canadian researchers is probably most encouraging for .
A. those who are suffering from disease
B. those who are in good health
C. those who have retired for years
D. those who are going on diet
69. Why are some fat people healthier than slim people according to the researchers?
A. They try to hold back their appetites.
B. They take more exercise and eat better.
C. Their excess pounds are easy to lose.
D. Their body mass index is much lower.
70. What is the text mainly about?
A. There is a relationship between overweight and ill nesses.
B. Focusing on fitness change can help people live longer.
C. Being fat may be healthier than constantly trying to diet.
D. There is no need to pay attention to our weight.

Although she says that she is not interested in the Guiness Book of World Records , nevertheless Jane has carried out her own research and is sure that Noddy comes top . “The nearest is a horse in Texas , at 20 hands ,” says Jane . “ Noddy is already an inch taller than that . The frightening thing is he still hasn’t finished—shire horses aren’t fully grown until they’re about six or seven .”
Jane has said that Noddy could be sold overseas , possibly even fetching a record price to match his height . She is unwilling to sell , but to fund the high cost of keeping him she needs to put him to work . “ He needs a job . It’s very hard to find jobs for such a big horse in Australia . I wish he could stay here but I’ve tried everywhere , ” she says regretfully . “ I just want people to enjoy this beautiful animal as much as I do .”

高一英语第二次月考答案
七、书面表达
One possible version:
Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Cooperating with others”.
In this busy and modern world, if we want to complete our work effectively, we must all learn to cooperate with others. Not only can cooperation save us a lot of time and energy, but also it benefits both partners by learning from each other.
When we cooperate with someone we like, we will feel very happy. We can share our pleasure and sadness with each other. However, it can be difficult to work with someone we dislike. In such a situation, we may focus on our work instead of our partners. Perhaps after a long time of working together, we will gradually know more about each other and get along quite well.
How can we become a good partner? Personally, we should try to listen to others’ opinions. Also, if he or she makes mistakes, we should point them out. But in no case should we put our partners in an unfavorable position.
Thank you for your listening!
