16、 very dangerous to cross the street when its a red light and all the cars drive fast on the street. If there are no traffic lights at the cross, I will wait until its safe for me.

24、）_正确答案：(Topic: Explanations for ObesityConversationA: Obesity has become one of the most difficult problems either for ordinary people or scientists. In my opinion, the most plausible alternative explanation for the problem is genetic effects. Experts say children of obese mothers are much more like
25、ly to become obese themselves later in life.B: Yes. I think genetic effect is the most powerful factor. Recently I have read a study report that Grand-children of mice fed a high-fat diet grow up fat even if their own mother is fed normally. It means the fate to be obese may have been healed even be
26、fore one is conceived.A: Secondly, I think “a little older“ also accounts for the increasing obesity problem. Some surveys found out that adults aged 40 to 79 were around three times as likely to be obese as younger people. And with the aging of our society, more and more people are likely to become
27、 fat.B: But nowadays, people pay more attention to physical exercise. They spend more time and money to keep fit and healthy. So, I think “not enough sleep“ should be an important reason for obesity. According to data gathered by some experts, people who sleep less than 7 hours a night tend to have
28、a higher body mass index than people who sleep more.A: Really? Its well known that obesity impairs sleep. Does it work in the other direction?B: Yes. The U. S. Nurses Health Study tracked over 6,000 women for 16 years and found that those who slept an average of 5 hours a night gained more weight du
29、ring the study period than women who slept 6 hours, who in turn gained more than those who slept 7.A: That sounds reasonable. Besides, I have learnt that climate control has also affected our weight. We have to keep warm and stay cool, which takes energy. However, we choose to live and work in the “
30、thermo-neutral zone“ provided by air-conditioners cooling in summer and heating in winter.B: I agree on this view. Like all warm-blooded animals, we can keep our core body temperatures petty much constant regardless of whats going on in the world around us. We do this by altering our metabolic rate,
31、 shivering or sweating, which consumes much energy. But with the development of technology, more and more facilities are designed and produced to keep us in comfortable temperatures. Thus, we use less energy and are more likely to get heavy.A&B: Its the end of the conversation.)解析：三、Part C: Presenta

40、inary people one day.b. HousingWhat are the negative effects of rent control that maximum of rent is set by government?In some cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Some people argue that this policy protects people who are l
41、iving in apartments. They are not in danger of losing their homes because their rent cannot increase. However, it has negative effects too.

42、ate to the demand.c. EconomyWhat are the negative effects of the minimum wage law?Many countries set the minimum wage law that an employer must pay workers. If the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. Some of them may replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal,
43、 the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, some critics claim that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment.Questions maybe asked:1. Why do students spend so much time on computers?First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Students could type their home w

Also, we can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet and google useful information easily.2. What are the problems of spending too much time on computers?The most serious one is that
45、 many students are addicted to playing PC games. The time spent on study is less and less. They even skip classes to play games. Another problem is that using computer is bad for students eyesight. More and more students get near-sighted. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper wa
46、y.Topic Card Ba. EconomyWhat are the positive effects of the minimum wage law?The minimum wage law helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs.

47、air wages. The law can help some people keep their dignity.b. HobbiesDo you smoke? Why?No, I dont smoke. Many of my friends smoke but I refused because there is nicotine in tobacco smoke.
