A Healthy Diet
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems arise as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated sometimes, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.
There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make
a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor
a lot less often.
68. We need _____for a healthy diet.
A. fibre
B. water and different foods
C. water
D. food
69. From the text, we know water can carry_________.
A. energy and fibre in our bodies
B. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies
C. poisons and waste out of our bodies
D. sugar and fat out of our bodies
70. Some doctors think that________.
A. people eat too much sugar
B. water is not important for our health
C. we should go to the doctor less often
D. some health problems are caused by a lack of water
71. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.
A. they think they are hungry and eat too much
B. they think they are thirsty and eat less
C. water has no calories
D. it makes them drink more water.
“Forget it.” Ben replied. “It's been paid.”
“Paid!” she exclaimed (惊叫). “What do you mean? Who paid it?”

A. a customer left without paying the bill
B. he lost $ 79 on the way of the delivery
C. he had to buy a present for the children
D. he was going to lose his job
73. The author helped Ben by offering him _______.
A. a Christmas present
B. the debtor's new address

第Ⅱ卷非选择题
第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。

注意：表格中的每个空只填一个单词。

Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging(令人鼓舞的) words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will not achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason why we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
