Most children with healthy appetite are ready to eat almost 16 that is offered them and a child hardly 17 food unless it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and a(n) 18 served meal will often improve a child’s appetite.

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping and is becoming increasingly popular among the young. We can shop for just about anything from the net-shop. What we need is just a computer which is linked to the Internet.
We can shop for a variety of products on the Internet such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most commonly purchased(购买). We can also buy information products such as on-line books and magazine stories, or download software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet.
To find something on the Internet, we often use powerful computing tools called “search engines”. We can search for a type of product, such as sports shoes, or a brand name, such as Nike. The search engine will give you a list of websites. These websites may be specialist shops（专卖店）such as a Nike shop, or they may be general stores, called malls, which sell a variety of goods.
The most important advantage is convenience. We can shop whenever we like ad online shops are open 24 hours a day and we need n’t queue at the checkout counters. It is easy to find what we are looking for on the Internet. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you can not check the quality of the goods. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
Internet shopping will become more and more popular in the coming years. And it will change the way we buy all kinds of goods—from tomorrow’s breakfast to a personal airplane.
36. What is Internet shopping?
A. Shopping through the Internet.
B. Selling everything you can find.

A. the advantages of Internet shopping
B. the things we can buy on the Internet

A. Books and CDs.

Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own. So it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment(营养).
The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain Vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?
In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw away the good habits and throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.
39. From the first sentence we know that _______.

nourishment
40. How do you understand the old saying underlined
in the passage?
A. Doctors are no longer necessary if we eat an
apple every day.
B. Eating apples regularly brings lots of benefits to
our health.
C. The apple is the best among all kinds of fruits.
D. Eating an apple every day is a good way to cure
illnesses.
41. In modern western countries, _______.
A. people are only too busy to cook meals for
themselves
B. people don’t want to pay more attention to
their eating
C. people throw everything into their stomachs
without digestion

worse by bad eating habits

A lot can happen in a second. The May 12 earthquake turned this typical basketball-loving teenager into an amputee (截肢者), robbing him of both his friends and his left leg. It took six major operations to save what remains of Liao’s leg above the knee.
Liao finally received his artificial leg on February 13，after spending nine months in hospital. He is now a Senior 1 student at Beijing No.4 High School.
Liao says he likes his new school. His classmates,48 in total，are “smart and versatile (多才多艺)”he says，and everyone is nice to him. They remind him of his old classmates in Beichuan Middle School，who were as close as a family. Fifty-three of Liao’s 69 classmates died in the earthquake. Only three of those who survived are healthy. They include Li Yang，who held a drip for Liao when he was buried below the rubble (瓦砾、碎石)．Li is now a Senior 2 student at Beichuan，and Liao is thankful that he has a new “family”．
On Liao’s first day at his new school，the PE assistant was especially helpful. When they sat together at lunch he encouraged Liao to join some student societies and sports teams. Liao was almost motivated (鼓励) to sign up for the school’s basketball team as the school’s basketball court looked so inviting.
However，he is increasingly worried that he is falling behind in his studies. “I must work harder to make up for my long absence from school once I get used to my new ‘leg’，”Liao said.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）
“High tech”and “state of the art”are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern working system in a factory ___________________. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early l980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave(微波) ovens, etc. “State of the art”is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy. “State of the art”is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “state of the art”. Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art”became common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.

答案与解析
1-5 CBBDD 6-10 ABBAB 11-15 BBCCD
部分解析：
2.B be on a diet意为“节食；按规定饮食”，为固定搭配。

4.D will加动词原形表示临时做出的决定。

8.B 句意：这双鞋非常适合你，我穿却不合适。

第一空fit为及物动词，且主语the pair of shoes 为单数，故选B。

第二空为短语be fit for意为“适合于”。

10.B be anxious to do sth.渴望做某事。

hurried 匆匆赶完的，仓促完成的；worried担心的，忧虑的；nervous紧张的，均不符合题意，故选B。

11.B 第一空pain意为“一阵疼痛”，作可数名词；第二空pains意为“辛劳；辛苦”，常用于复数。

No pains, no gains.为谚语，意为“不劳则无获”。

12.B 考查“祈使句+and+简单句”结构。

句意：在你能献血时献出些血，许多生命就会得救。

此题难点是when引导的状语从句，它不影响句子的整个结构。

15.D pick up“无意中得到，学会”，该句的意思是：如果没有正确的指导，你在弹钢琴时就会染上许多坏习惯。

16-20 BACAC 21-25 BADDC
26-30 ACBAD 31-35 BBADA
部分解析：
19.A whether…or…表示“是……还是……”。

20.C 讨论对食物的好恶，喜欢与不喜欢。

注意搭配：remark on/upon sth.；discuss sth.；argue about sth.。

23.D 如果这样，孩子就有可能模仿。

possible 不用人作主语。

24.D take sth. for granted为固定短语，“认为某事理所当然”。

28.B 再要一点儿可用ask for，但不能加上back；return不与back连用；take back收回；come back for a second helping回头再要一份。

31.B force sb. to do sth. 强迫某人做某事；persuade sb. to do sth.说服某人做某事；allow sb. to do sth.让/允许某人做某事。

32.B immediately用作连词，表示“一……就……”，在此处指饭一吃完就离开饭桌。

根据句意，父母不能允许孩子一吃完饭就离开饭桌，否则他会learn to swallow his food（学着狼吞虎咽），以便快点去玩。

所以unless（除非）不合适。

33. A so引导目的状语从句，其目的是为了赶紧去玩玩具或看电视。

34.D 本句谓语动词用了倒装结构，只有D项满足这一条件。

36-40 ADDCB 41-45 DAADC

书面表达：
Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.
There are several reasons for this. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. Second, you can either eat it there or take it home. Third, the environment of fast food restaurants is clean and comfortable. Fourth, it has excellent service, and the quality of food is guaranteed. However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It is usually not a balanced diet and low in nutritional value.
Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. It’s good for people, especially children, to eat fast food as little as possible.

Last December, I performed 30 shows in 11 days. I knew it would be a tiring tour before I set off, but I just wanted to be there to support our men and women.
From the minute I walked onstage the afternoon I arrived at the army, the soldiers were cheering, singing along at the top of their voices. I had done hundreds of concerts, but it was my first time to perform for troops. Looking at the smiling faces of these soldiers—some of them only teenagers—I felt great joy moving through me. They were the loveliest fans I had ever met. Then, from out of nowhere, words came into my head. “I want to play you something new...a song just came in my head minutes ago. It’s called Here with Me,”I told them. Cheers rang out. As I sang, I could see the tears in some of soldiers’eyes. I finished to thunderous applause.
At the autograph(亲笔签名) part afterward, one of the soldiers took out a picture of a high school student. “This is my girl. You know, I miss her so much,”he said. “That new song you sang...it meant so much to me. Those were the words I’ve always wanted to tell her.”
I realized that the song wasn’t about me and that it was, in fact, a gift for these men and women. I played it in every concert after that, always with the same unbelievable reaction.
On the long plane ride home I kept thinking about the soldiers I’d met. They risked their lives every day to defend our country, yet they were grateful for a simple concert. I decided to record the new song to thank our men and women in uniform(制服).

Many people are upset when their flight is late. Not only do they have to change their schedule, but even worse, they have to wait in an airport! There is
no need to be upset, though. Airports are much better places these days than most people thought. Look at the following realities, and you may change your mind.
Belief 1: Airport food is bad—as bad as airplane food.
Reality:Airports have fine international food and you can buy something to have for later—for example, cheese and seafood in Paris.
Belief 2: Shopping in airports is great, that is, if you need a T-shirt.
Reality: In Amsterdam, you can buy anything. In EI Paso, Texas, you can buy old-fashioned knives or special art. The art is so interesting that some people fly to EI Paso just to visit the airport gallery(画廊). And Singapore's airport is known for some of the best shopping in the world.
Belief 3:Airports make people uncomfortable and nervous.
Reality:The airport at Honolulu has peaceful gardens. Pittsburgh has a meditation（沉思）room. When you walk in, you can hear relaxing music and see pictures of clouds painted on the walls. If you prefer exercise, hotels at the airports in Los Angeles, Dallas, and many other cities have fitness centers（健身中心）that anyone can use.
So, the next time you're waiting in an airport, have some fun!

Chelsea Bourque was 17 years old. When she took a summer job, her mother, Kim Guidry, was confident her daughter would get good life experience. And Chelsea wanted to make her own money and be more independent. Kim didn't worry about her daughter because she'd known the store owner for years. Chelsea did such a good job that when summer ended she was asked to stay on and even open and close the shop sometimes. That was when Kim started feeling uneasy. “She'd be there alone with a drawer full of money for the first or last 20 minutes of her shift(班)，” says Kim. “If she was opening, I'd drop her off, tell her to lock the door the minute she got into the building, and I'd wait in the car until the owner arrived. If she was closing, I'd arrive 20 minutes early. You can’t be too careful.”
Kim's concerns were natural. Even though the 6 million American teens who hold jobs benefit（受益）a lot—learning to manage money, developing time-management skills, and becoming good at problem-solving with other people—they face some dangers as well. About 230,000 teen workers are injured yearly, from burns and cuts in restaurant kitchens to falls from roofs on buildings. Deaths, fortunately, are rare, but they do happen—between 60 and 70 each year, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
But for most teens—and their parents—the payoffs of working do more good than harm. So help your teens get most out of employment with these stay-safe tips.
43. From what Kim said, we know she ______.
A. was worried about her daughter's safety
B. was proud of her daughter's performance
C. hoped her daughter could be independent
D. thought her daughter's job was interesting
44. About _____ of US teen workers are injured every year.
A. 2%
B. 4%
C. 8%
