A
With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified(多样化) than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame（责怪）the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
45. What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A. Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B. Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C. Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.
D. Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
46. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
47. The author writes the passage to ______________.
A. show people a social problem
B. provide facts for government
C. advise solutions（解决办法）to a problem
D. compare（对比）opinions with people
B
“Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales’ coming. A g roup of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded. Its huge body on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale
back into the water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the resc uers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life.
48. What does the picture on Jake’s wall tell us about him?
A. He lived near the ocean.
B. He cared about the environment.
C. He worked as an animal rescuer.
D. He thought whales were the most beautiful animals.
D. To watch a movie about whales.
49. The underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. didn't move
B. went back out
C. washed over
D. got up
50. In what order did the events of the whale rescue take place?
a. The whale disap peared under the sea.
b. People turned on the lights of their cars.
c. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water.
d.Animal rescue service brought its truck
e. People pushed the whale towards the sea.

During the 1960s, our family were rather poor. Although both of my parents worked, their jobs were not well paid. One spring, when I was 10, my father lost his job. And I could feel my mother’s sadness. I decided I would cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.
There was a famous store in the city—Agins, which was known for its high-end fashion and style. My mother, who couldn’t afford to shop there, sometimes mentioned the store in tones of great respect.
One day after school, I rode my bike to the store. I told the owner I was looking for a Mother’s Day present. I remember that the owner treated me like a valued customer. “Do you think she’d like a purse” she asked. I told her I thought she might.
After walking to the back of the store, she returned with a box. She took out an Italian handbag made of leather.“How much money do you have” she asked.
“Twelve dollars.” I said.
“You are lucky. It’s only 11 dollars. You still have a dollar left over for the card.”
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she stammered（结巴地说）in an excited tone, “Where did you get this”
“I bought it at the Agins,” I said.
My mother was shocked into silence.
It wasn’t until many years later that I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to thank the owner. Recently, I met someone at a party who knew her daughter, Roberta. I called Roberta; she told me her mother had died 22 years before.
Now my mother is 90. She still has the purse that I bought her. The other day she said to me, “letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But she still let you leave a dollar for the card. I will never forget it.”
51. Why did the author want to buy a gift for his mother
A. His father told him to do it.
B. He wanted to make his mother happy.
C. The price of the gift was lower than usual.
D. His mother often talked about fashion and style.

young people．I have just returned to the UK after travelling around the USA．While I was there，I visited lots of museums. I must say，museums are educational, either to develop knowledge learned at school，or to improve knowledge of other cultures.
In Chicago, we visited the world-famous Art Institute of Chicago. It was full of paintings，drawings and sculptures by a large number of artists，such as Picasso，Monet，Matisse and Dali. There was a mixture of traditional and modern art.
When we were in Washington D．C．，we visited a few of the Smithsonian museums．These are all free to visitors, which is great if you just want to see a few things，and not spend all day inside. The Air and Space Museum was especially good：it had lots of planes on show, interesting information and also some interactive(互动) parts．We also went to the National U．S．Holocaust（纳粹大屠杀）Memorial Museum．Naturally，it was sad to read about the horrors which influenced so many people in World War II．However，it was also interesting to read the stories of those who survived the Holocaust，as well as those who helped others．
Last but not least，I also found the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to be of great interest．This museum is for those who lost their lives，as well as their families，when the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked by terrorists（恐怖分子）in 2001．It tells you how the terrorists planned the attack and what happened as a result of their actions．Surviving pieces of the towers are shown in the museum. It was a truly meaningful visit，which made me value my own life that little bit more．
I think museums play an important role in realizing historical importance for future people．Whatever your interests，there may be a museum for you．You can visit waxwork(蜡像) museums to see models of famous people（and get photos with the Queen！），science museums for an interactive visit and a little bit more！Best of all，if you're ever in the UK，many of them are free！
54．The first paragraph tells us that______________．
A．people of all ages love going to museums

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. Once at midnight, an old lady in her 80s took my taxi. She gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way,"I answered quickly.
"Oh,I don't mind,"she said."I'm in no hurry.I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院）.I don't have any family left.The doctor says I don't have very long."

"How much do I owe you?"she asked,reaching into her purse.
"Nothing,"I said.
"You have to make a living,"she answered.
"There are other passengers."

Scene1
On a wild mountain, two goats met on a rock just over a high cliff（峭壁）．The rock was so narrow that there was neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back.
One of them with great care laid himself down on the narrow rock, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat gently and softly stepped over his friend,till, safely past him, he could lightly get away. Scene2
Two other goats met on the banks of a wild, rushing stream. They found there was a tree across the stream. It formed a bridge from one side to the other.
They stood for a moment with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would draw back. But neither of them would give away, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!
They then began to push and fight with their horns（犄角），伽at last their feet slipped, and both the goats fell into the stream, and were lost in the waters!

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try. “What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition
54. What does this passage mainly talk about?
petition helps to set up self-respect
B.Opinions about competition are different among people
petition is harmful to personal quality development
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition
55.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A.It pushes society forward
B.It builds up a sense of duty
C.It improves personal abilities
D.It encourages individual efforts
56.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?
A.One’s worth lies in his performance in the competition
B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts
C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills
D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried
57.Which point of view may the author agree to?
A.Every effort should be paid back
petition should be encouraged
C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter
D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition
