Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Facts are sometimes more unusual than fiction. The following case makes Agatha Christie's plot look like children's literature.The medical inspection of Ronald Opus's body showed that he died from a shot gun wound of the head. He had jumped from the top of a ten-storey building intending to commit suicide(自杀). As he 36 the ninth floor, a shotgun blast(枪声) through a window killed him immediately. Neither the 37 nor Opus knew that a safety net had been put up at the eighth floor level to 38 some window washers and that Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide anyway because of this.In the room on the ninth floor where the shotgun blast went through an elderly man and his wife were arguing and he was 39 her with the shotgun. He was so upset that when he pulled the trigger（扳机）, he 40 missed his wife and the pellets（小子弹）went through the window, striking the falling Opus.The old man said it was his long-term habit to threaten his wife with the 41 shotgun. He had no 42 to murder her. 43 , the killing of Opus seemed to be an accident. That is, the gun had been 44 loaded.The continuing investigation(调查) turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun six weeks before the fatal incident. It turned out that the old lady had 45 his son's financial(经济的) support and the son, knowing the habit of his father to use the shotgun threateningly against his mother, loaded the gun with the 46 that his father would shoot his mother.Further investigation showed that the son had become increasingly 47 over the failure of his attempt to engineer(密谋策划) his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten-storey building, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a ninth floor window.The case was closed as a suicide.36.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AOn the night of December 8, 1992, when he was standing in a parking lot talking to friends, Tracy March jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundred times before. This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard.All night, Cory, Tracy’ s mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy has once mentioned organ （器官）donation. Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated.Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracy’s liver was made part of my husband, David, who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease.Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donor’s parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory too.For the Marches, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I’ll never forget seeing David’s tall figure stopped over Corry, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time they held each other tight. It was hard to know if shewas saying hello or good-bye. Maybe she was saying both.56. We learn from the passage that Tracy died _________.A. on December 8, 1992B. of brain damageC. 24 hours after he fell off the roof of a carD. in a car crash57. Tracy’s parents decided to donate Tracy’s organs because ______.A. Tracy told them to do so just before he died.B. They wanted to save others the pain of seeing dear one die.C. David’s life could continue in a meaningful way.D. They knew David was suffering from a hopeless liver disease.58. The meeting between the writ er’s family and Tracy’s parents was arranged because _______.A. the writer and her husband wished to express their thanks to Tracy’s parentsB. the local organ bank wanted to see how both families felt about the donationC. Tracy’s parents wanted to s ee someone whose life had been saved by the donationD. the two families were linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.59. The writer and her husband learned how Tracy died _______.A. from his parentsB. from the organ bankC. from the hospitalD. from the doctor who performed the operation60. The meeting between the two families helped to relieve the Marshes’ suffering because _______.A. they saw that David looked very much like their sonB. they saw that David had regained health with Tracy’s liverC. they now had someone to share their memories of TracyD. they now knew for sure they had done the right thing.B1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels---though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.Travelling at speed has always been risky. One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants(车内辅助设施). They can ensure you don’t miss important road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and make sure your phone or radio doesn’t distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can find obstacles(障碍物) in fog, while other technology “sees through” big vehicles blocking your view.And improvements to seat belts, pedal（制动踏板）controls and tyres(轮胎) are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.But whatever is in the fuel tank, you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations（革新）. Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays（微妙的相互影响）between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road. Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flowsmoothly and will perhaps one day be everyone’s personal drivers, but their latest efforts suggest that wo n’t be soon.61. What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate?A. They are developing faster electric vehicles.B. They are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every yearC. They concentrate their research on safety and new fuelsD. They are designing fully automatic cars62. According to the second paragraph, most road accidents happenA. because drivers fall asleep.B. because drives make mistakes.C. because of engine failure.D. because of speeding.63. Which of the safety development is NOT mentioned in the in the passage?A. Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog.B. Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles.C. Improvements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres.D. Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision.64. What is NOT the purpose of innovations that use satellite tracking and remote communications?A. To prevent car thieves from getting into your car.B. T o call for help when one’s car crashes.C. To call for help when the car gets jammed in the traffic.D. To track the car down when it is being stolen.65. What is true of robotic drivers?A. It will take some time before robotic drivers can put to practical use.B. Robotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roads.C. Robotic drivers can never replace human drivers.D. Robotic drivers are too expensive to use.CFran’s husband Tom had a habit of throwing his dirty socks into the laundry basket , but frequently missing by a few inches. It really frustrated Fran when she had to pick up his socks and place them in the basket. After learning the techniques of behavior modification(矫正)，Fran decided to stop nagging(唠叨) her husband and try positive reinforcement(加强). When he missed the basket, she said nothing and quietly picked up his socks. However, one day when his socks actually landed in the target, she quickly reinforced the appropriate behavior by saying, “ I really like it when you put your socks right inside the basket.” She followed this statement with a hug. Within a week, Tom was hitting the target every time, or picking up the socks by hand and placing them inside the basket whenever he missed. Consequently, an argument was avoided.There is an old saying that” you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”, which is the principal behind behavior modification. Complaining to someone of doing something, whether it’s a partner or a child, often gets just the oppos ite response: resistance. But almost everyone respond to positive reinforcement and this approach to changing someone’s behavior takes a little patience and emotional control.Experts of behavior modification believe habits are learned because of reinforcement fromthe environment. This theory states that people will always do the behavior that results in the most favorable outcome. Even if in the doing, there are some negative effects. For instance，Fran may have learned from her mother that it really didn’t matter whether her husband’s socks landed in the basket or not. It is because she’d come along and pick them up for him. That was the favorable outcome but, if he only got negative messages from Fran for the same behavior, he didn’t have much motivation to abandon it.Of course for some people nothing will work, but it’s sure worth a try, for treating them with a hostile attitude probably won’t get you what you want , but it will get you a bad relationship with them.Positive reinforcement can be used with anyone, for any behavior, because all of us resist criticism and respond to praise. So, the next time you want someone to meet your wishes, trya little applause for the desired behavior.66. Why does the author present Tom and Fran’s story at the beginning of the passage?A. To introduce the techniques of behavior modification.B. To show Tom is one of those needing behavior modification.C. To let the readers know this family.D. To list ways to get rid of bad habits.67. Which of the following best fits the principle behind behavior modification?A. Taking no notice of one’s occasional good behavior.B. Praising one for his or her good deeds.C. Telling a child not to make the same mistakes again.D. Leaving a child alone when he or she does something wrong.68. Which statement about a habit may the author agree with?A. Criticism contributes a lot to the formation of a bad habit.B. Most of our habits are formed in childhood.C. We can always get along with a person of good habits.D. A habit is usually reinforced by favorable outcome.69. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Positive reinforcement works on anyone.B. Positive reinforcement should be applied to anyone.C. By using positive reinforcement we don’t fail to get what we wantD. By using positive reinforcement we can improving our relationship with anyone else.70. The purpose of the passage is to tell us_____.A. how to bring out the best in othersB. the way to get along with othersC. what behavior modification isD. the training of behavior modificationPART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.There are certain benefits of eating raw eggs, as there are dangers. Let me put both thethings before you, which may help you decide whether eating raw eggs is good or not.One good reason for eating or rather drinking raw eggs is that it supplies most of the essential amino acids(氨基酸) required for proper functioning of the human body. Another good reason to eat eggs is that they provide a bunch of vitamins and minerals like riboflavin, folic acid, vitamineB6, vitamin B 12, iron, choline, calcium, potassium and phosphorus. Egg is one of the few natural products that contain vitamin D. One more nutrient called choline is contained in the egg which is recommended for intake by pregnant and nursing women, as it aids brain development. The egg white is the richest source of protein on earth. This makes it an ideal protein supplement. Eating raw eggs for protein is a common practice among body builders.One danger from eating raw eggs is getting a salmonella infection. The danger is highly overstated, however. There is a probability of 1 in 30,000 eggs being infected with salmonella according to a study . To stay safe, you should purchase eggs from villagers who feed their chickens with organic foods. Cold storage of chicken eggs also helps to reduce the risk of infection. Another problem is that eating a lot of egg white can lead to lack of biotin(促生素). However, this problem can be dealt with if you eat the whole egg instead of just the egg white as the egg yolk is rich in biotin. The high level of cholesterol(胆固醇) in egg yolk is another risk . however，there is no convincing research on how much egg yolk cholesterol can be stored by the body. If you have heart problems, eating less is recommended.Title: 71._______---Good or BadI 72.________*giving73.________ of most of essential amino acids for the human body to 74.______ *providing a bunch of vitamins and minerals especially for75.______ to develop* the richest source of protein---76_______--an excellent source of proteinII.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙)．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.81. Why do doctors say anger is dangerous? (No more than 10 words)_______________________________________________________________________ 82.

It really frustrated Fran when she had to pick up his socks and place them in the basket. After learning the techniques of behavior modification(矫正)，Fran decided to stop nagging(唠叨) her husband and try positive reinforcement(加强). When he missed the basket, she said nothing and quietly picked up his socks. However, one day when his socks actually landed in the target, she quickly reinforced the appropriate behavior by saying, “ I really like it when you put your socks right inside the basket.” She followed this statement with a hug. Within a week, Tom was hitting the target every time, or picking up the socks by hand and placing them inside the basket whenever he missed. Consequently, an argument was avoided.There is an old saying that” you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”, which is the principal behind behavior modification. Complaining to someone of doing something, whether it’sa partner or a child, often gets just the opposite response: resistance. But almost everyone respond to positive reinforcement and this approach to changing someone’s behavior takes a little patience and emotional control.Experts of behavior modification believe habits are learned because of reinforcement from the environment. This theory states that people will always do the behavior that results in the most favorable outcome. Even if in the doing, there are some negative effects. For instance，Fran may have learned from her mother that it really didn’t matter whether her husband’s socks landed in the basket or not. It is because she’d come along and pick them up for him. That was the favorable outcome but, if he only got negative messages from Fran for the same behavior, he didn’t have much motivation to abandon it.Of course for some people nothing will work, but it’s sure worth a try, for treating them with a hostile attitude probably won’t get you what you want , but it will get you a bad relationship with them.Positive reinforcement can be used with anyone, for any behavior, because all of us resist criticism and respond to praise. So, the next time you want someone to meet your wishes, try a little applause for the desired behavior.66. Why does the author present Tom and Fran’s story at the beginning of the passage?A. To introduce the techniques of behavior modification.B. To show Tom is one of those needing behavior modification.C. To let the readers know this family.D. To list ways to get rid of bad habits.67. Which of the following best fits the principle behind behavior modification?A. Taking no notice of one’s occasional good behavior.B. Praising one for his or her good deeds.C. Telling a child not to make the same mistakes again.D. Leaving a child alone when he or she does something wrong.68. Which statement about a habit may the author agree with?A. Criticism contributes a lot to the formation of a bad habit.B. Most of our habits are formed in childhood.C. We can always get along with a person of good habits.D. A habit is usually reinforced by favorable outcome.69. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Positive reinforcement works on anyone.B. Positive reinforcement should be applied to anyone.C. By using positive reinforcement we don’t fail to get what we wantD. By using positive reinforcement we can improving our relationship with anyone else.70. The purpose of the passage is to tell us_____.A. how to bring out the best in othersB. the way to get along with othersC. what behavior modification isD. the training of behavior modificationPART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.There are certain benefits of eating raw eggs, as there are dangers. Let me put both the things before you, which may help you decide whether eating raw eggs is good or not.One good reason for eating or rather drinking raw eggs is that it supplies most of the essential amino acids(氨基酸) required for proper functioning of the human body. Another good reason to eat eggs is that they provide a bunch of vitamins and minerals like riboflavin, folic acid, vitamineB6, vitamin B 12, iron, choline, calcium, potassium and phosphorus. Egg is one of the few natural products that contain vitamin D. One more nutrient called choline is contained in the egg which is recommended for intake by pregnant and nursing women, as it aids brain development. The egg white is the richest source of protein on earth. This makes it an ideal protein supplement. Eating raw eggs for protein is a common practice among body builders.One danger from eating raw eggs is getting a salmonella infection. The danger is highly overstated, however. There is a probability of 1 in 30,000 eggs being infected with salmonella according to a study . To stay safe, you should purchase eggs from villagers who feed theirchickens with organic foods. Cold storage of chicken eggs also helps to reduce the risk of infection. Another problem is that eating a lot of egg white can lead to lack of biotin(促生素). However, this problem can be dealt with if you eat the whole egg instead of just the egg white as the egg yolk is rich in biotin. The high level of cholesterol(胆固醇) in egg yolk is another risk . however，there is no convincing research on how much egg yolk cholesterol can be stored by the body. If you have heart problems, eating less is recommended.Title: 71._______---Good or BadI 72.________*giving73.________ of most of essential amino acids for the human body to 74.______*providing a bunch of vitamins and minerals especially for75.______ to develop* the richest source of protein---76_______--an excellent source of proteinII.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙)．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.81. Why do doctors say anger is dangerous? (No more than 10 words)_______________________________________________________________________ 82. According to the passage, what are the common ways for people to express their anger? (No more than 15words)_______________________________________________________________________ 83.

Here are just a few:Alcatraz:The Enforcer (1976), Escape From Alcatraz(1979), Murder in theFirst (1995), The Rock (1996)A federal prison from 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz housed notorious(臭名昭著的)criminals.

The bridge has also been blown up countless times on films, including in X-Men: The last Stand (2006) and Monsters vs. Aliens(2009). The best view is from the north side, looking back to the city.Coit Tower: The Enforcer, Inner Space(1987), The Presidio, Sister Act 2(1993), The Rock, Dr. Dolittle (1998), Boys and Girls(2003)The narrow white concrete column at the top of Telegraph Hill has been a part of San Francisco’s skyline since 1933, and offers amazing views of the bay and the city.

The animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said it received details on the shark's death from two whistleblowers (揭发者), criticized the AHA in a letter over the shark's death."Sharks are sensitive animals who, in captivity(囚禁), require a highly specialized and controlled environment," the PETA letter read. "Given the delicate nature of this species, why would the AHA approve the transport and use of this animal?"The shark was placed into a 227- liter outdoor tank in the Van Nuys suburb of Los Angeles, said Karen Rosa, a senior adviser of the AHA. She added that was a good amount of water for it. "We honestly don't know why the animal died. It was not being mistreated. It was not being harmed," Rosa said.Early in the day, the shark seemed to be in good condition, but at one point they noticed it showed signs of distress. "As far as I know, it was immediately insistedupon that the animal receive specialized aquatic veterinarian(兽医) care," she said. Oxygen was pumped into the tank and the shark was given a shot to try to stabilize it before it was transferred to an aquatic compound for care, where it died the same day, Rosa said.The shoot was for a Kmart commercial, but a representative for the retailer could not disclose any details."We take this matter seriously and safety is always our first concern," the spokesman for Kmart said in a statement.66. The shark was shipped to Los Angeles for _______________.A. a study by the AHAB. a business activityC. a film about animalsD. a project by an animal welfare group67. From the passage, we can learn that PETA_______________.A. monitor films and TV productions that have animalsB. sent a representative to the scene of the shootC. believed the shark received specialized careD. didn’t think the shark was transferred very well68. What does Karen Rosa think of AHA?A. It had done all that it needed to do.B. It was against the rights of the animals.C. It was not connected with the shark’s death.D. It should be responsible for the shoot.69. What can we infer from the passage?A. The shark died due to a lack of water.B. Kmart was first to notice that the shark was showing signs of distress.C. Kmart claimed to ensure the animals’ safety but didn’t do it very well.D. The shark was given a highly specialized environment in captivity.70. What is the best title for the passage?A.

This will help you picture the circumstances in which the character finds itself.To be that person, there is no way you can live the life he or she has, but you can draw parallels（相似点）from our own life, which will help you relates to the person. You have to draw parallels from your own experience and actually try to feel what the character feels. Say the lines only when you “feel” the way your character does. Let them come out naturally.Only through practice will you get closer to actually be that person, and many acting exercises can help you. Try saying the dialogue giving the correct facial expressions in front of a mirror. Learn the techniques of raising as well as lowering your voice. Practice acting out the expressions like joy, sorrow, laughter, anger, disapproval, satisfaction etc. these facial expressions if mastered well, can make your acting experience happy.In short, your experience off stage and the awareness with which you live your life are the keys you need to unlock your acting potential.

The record for most days spent confined to a room with this particular number of snakes is 113, set by Martin Smit in 2008.“I am hoping people will realize that we can live with these fantastic creatureswithout fearing and killing them. People come and see me here and are constantly amazed at how I am interact with these animals. The snakes are not restrained in any way and make the full use of the entire room including my bed, shower and toilet,”Jones explains. They mainly hide out in cupboards or on the various makeshift （临时的）branches or bushes that Jones has in their shared quarters. Once a week, someone brings captured mice and rats to offer as a sacrifice to the snakes.David Jones is forced to move the snakes with a “hook stick” throughout the day, so that he can do things like sitting at his desk or typing on his laptop, his only means of contacting the outside world.The snakes often drop on his pillow or shoulders as he’s trying to work or sleep, but there have so far been no instances of Jones being bitten by one of these deadly snakes. He said, “if I give them respect, we can live together happily.”Jones is doing this for charity. All the money raised will go to a hospice（收容所）in his hometown of Crawley, near London.81.

I guess if it meant saving one of the boys I could probably make it．As the boys can't swim, I think this will be the summer when they learn．In the past four weeks both of the boys have been taking swim lessons．Monday through Thursday, I spend an hour or so watching them learn how to avoid drowning．I have to give them both credit; they have improved ten-fold in the short amount of time．Cameron can actually swim．He doesn't have the endurance yet and the facts show that he has to work harder than the other kids but he's getting it．Logan cried for the first few lessons and really wanted nothing to do with swimming, He is not as confident as his older brother but he is getting more comfortable in the water．For a kid who has hardly spent any time in water outside of the bathtub, he is doing an amazing job．56．We can learn from the first paragraph that_______．A．the writer is out of workB．the writer cannot look after two kidsC．the writer's husband is busyD．the writer has an unhappy family57．What does Cameron think of swimming?A．He doesn't like swimming at all．B．He is overly confident about swimming．C．He expects to swim in summer the most．D．He thinks it's the best way to exercise．58．What do we know about the writer’ swimming skills?A．The writer is a great swimmer．B．The writer can only swim slowly．C．The writer doesn't know anything about swimming．D．The writer can't swim very well．59．How long do the children have swim lessons every week?A．For about an hour．B．For about seven hours．C．For about four hours．D．For about eight hours．60．The last paragraph is mainly about_______．A．the benefits of swimmingB．the children's progress in swimmingC．the children's attitudes to swimmingD．the difficulties of swimmingBMillions of people are using cell phones today．In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one．In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people．They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected．The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried．Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones．In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue．Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas．They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health．On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment．In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss．He couldn’t remember even simple tasks．He would often forget the name of his own son．This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years．His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree．What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?

In 1991, 15% of Americans were obese(肥胖的); by 1999, that proportion had grown to 27%. Youngsters, who should have age and activity on their side, are growing larger as well: 19% of Americans under 17 are obese. Waistbands（腰带）have been popping in other western countries too, as physical activity has declined and diets have expanded. As a whole, people in the rich world seem to have lost the fight against flab(松弛).Meanwhile, poorer nations have enjoyed some success in their battles against malnutrition and famine. But, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it is more a case of being out of the frying pan and into the fire. The most striking example actually in the poor world comes from the Pacific islands, home of the world's most obese communities. In 1966, 14% of the men on this island were obese while 100% of men under the age of 30 in 1996 were obese.This increase in weight has been uneven as well as fast. As a result, undernourished and over-nourished people frequently live cheek by jowl(紧密地). The mix can even occur within a single household. A study of families in Indonesia found that nearly 10% contained both the hungry and the fat. This is a mysterious phenomenon, but might have something to do with people of different ages being given different amounts of food to eat.The prospect of heading off these problems is bleak(暗淡的). In many affected countries there are cultural factors to fight with, such as an emphasis on eating large meals together, or on food as a form of hospitality. Moreover, there is a good measure of disbelief on the part of policymakers that such a problem could exist in their countries. Add to that reluctance on the part of governments to spend resources on promoting diet and exercise while starvation is still a real threat, and the result is a recipe for inaction. Unless something is done soon, it might not be possible to turn the clock back.66. The first sentence of the passage most probably implies that ______.A. many Americans are obsessed with the rising temperature in their bathroomB. people are doing more physical exercises with the help of scalesC. more people are over-weighed in the United StatesD. youngsters become taller and healthier thanks to more activities67. As physical exercise declines and diet expands, ______.A. other western countries has been defeated by fatB. western countries can no longer fight against obesityC. waistbands begin to be popular in other western countriesD. obesity has become an epidemic(流行病)of the rich world68.Which is NOT the point of the example of the Pacific Islands?A. The poor community has shaken off poverty and people are well-fed now.B. Obesity is becoming a problem in the developing world too.C. Excessive weight increase will cause no less harm than the food shortage.D. The problem of overweight emerges very fast.69.Of tackling(处理)obesity in the poor world, we can learn from the passage that____A. the matter is so complex as to go beyond our capacityB. no matter what we do, the prospect will always be bleakC. it is starvation, the real threat, that needs to be solvedD. we should take immediate actions before it becomes incurable70.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Obesity is now a global problem that needs tackling.B. The weights increase fast throughout the whole world.C. Obesity and starvation are two main problems in the poor world.D. Obesity has shifted from the rich world to the poor world.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Save the Children, the international support group, has issued a new study on the condition of mothers around the world. The study by Save the Children is part of a new campaign aimed at improving the health and education of mothers around the world. The group hopes to pressure lawmakers to increase international aid for women’s programs.The report rates ninety-four countries on issues important to mothers. They include health care and family planning services, the health of their children, education and political involvement. Sweden, Norway and Denmark were rated the highest, followed by other industrial countries.The report confirms what Save the Children has been saying for more than seventy years. The lives of children around the world will not improve unless the lives of their mothers improve. There is a direct link between the health of children and quality of health care, family planning services and education offered to mothers. The ten countries rated worst in the study have problems with childbirth. Less than one-third of the births in those countries are attended by trained health care professionals. Also, only three percent of the women use a system to prevent pregnancies. In these countries, one in twelve women die during childbirth. In the top ten countries on the list, the death rate for women during childbirth is only one in six thousand. Save the children says more educational programs for mothers and girls will improve the ability of women to raise healthy babies. The group says millions of lives could be saved if more moneywas invested in training programs. Family planning alone could prevent one-fourth of all deaths among new-born babies and their mothers. It would teach women to wait two or more years between births. In addition, education about the disease AIDS and violence at home are also needed.World Mothers StudyStudy 71. __________ 73. ____________●health care ●improving the health andeducation●family planning services ●74. ____________●the health of children●education●72. ________Ten countries at the top ConclusionSweden, Norway, Denmark and To improve the lives ofSeven other 76. ______________ 78. __________●one in six-thousand mothers die75.________ during childbirth 79. __________Ten countries at the bottom ●more money●77. ________ of the women die ● 80. _________during childbirth ●educational programsSection B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage.

But “a wise doesn’t fight when the odds are against him”. He apparently needn’t invite trouble for himself, so he pointed at the man shouting, “Wait and see. Sooner or later, I will run a greater and more luxurious hotel than yours. Remember what I’m saying now!”After that night, he underwent all kinds of hardships, worked hard and saved up every penny he had earned. Years later, Hilton had finally broken out, founded the first “Hilton Hotel”, and expanded rapidly into one of the largest hotel groups-----Hilton Hotel Group in the world!You don’t have to revenge the one who brought humiliation to you, but need live better because your excellence is the greatest revenge on him.

And it has become the woman’s campaign against poor service. Ingrid has become one of the most successful complainers in Britain.“My father and my grandfather have alw ays been people who believe strongly in saying what you think. I think I must have inherited the genes,” says Ingrid. One thing is certain: Ingrid Stone is very good at complaining. “I complain about just anything, but it has to be with good reason. If you are dissatisfied, don’t suffer in silence and just stand up for yourself.”Over the years, Ingrid has fired off hundreds of complaint letters to companies: Apple (a faulty MacBook), British Airways (delayed flights), and even the makers of a brand of fly paper, which wasn’t sticky enough to trap its victims. Of course, Ingrid has been taken seriously by the companies she has targeted.Friends have been quick to capitalize on Ingrid’s talent for complaining. They would come to her, whenever they have problems. Her talent for complaining has even landed her a book deal —Letters of a Dissatisfied Woman, a collection of her best letters. It will be published later this year.But there is one person who is not so impressed by Ingrid’s hobby, her husband. “I th ink he still gets embarrassed by it,” says Ingrid. “He’s not the complaining sort. In the beginning, if I complained about something in a restaurant, he would be totally shocked. I think he’s accepted it now.”While Ingrid laughs about her hobby, it is cle ar she takes it very seriously. “In a sense, I think it’s really very important,” she says. “As consumers, people don’t have the money to spend on bad services and products. Business can’t afford to have bad services and products, because we will just stop using them.”56.

Even if parents enjoy a close relationship with their son and daughter, harsh verbal discipline (严厉的口头惩戒) was found to have a bad impact on their teens’ emotional development. This form of discipline can vary from yelling and shouting at a child, to swearing and using words to shame them.Scientists looked at 976 families in the US, most of which were middle-class. During the experiment, teens and their parents completed surveys over a two-year period on topics, which were related to their mental health and the quality of the parent-child relationship.About 90 percent of parents admit using harsh verbal discipline towards their children. They found that many parents changed from physical to verbal discipline as their children entered adolescence. If parents use such punishment when their child is 13, the teen is more likely to have behavioral or emotional problems later on, such as stealing, telling lies or fighting.There’s no doubt that parents’ harsh verbal discipline is damaging to the developing adolescent. The thought that harsh discipline is without consequence, once there is a strong parent-child bond, is quite wrong, because parents’ warmth can’t lessen the effects of harsh verbal discipline.Indeed, harsh verbal discipline appears to be harmful in all cases. Not only does harsh verbal discipline appear to be useless at dealing with behavior issues, it may actually add to the problem. Even if the parents were close to their child, this form of discipline still caused emotional damage. Parents’ hostility (敌意) could actually lead to an increase in the risk of adolescent conduct problems.Dr Wang suggests parents, who want to discipline their teenage children, would benefit by talking with them about their concerns and the consequences of the behavior. The findings could influence future parenting programs, as well as encourage other methods of punishment rather than shouts and insults.61. What’s the passage mainly about?A. How to build a good parent-child relationship.B. What parents should do to help their teenagers.C. Why shouting makes teenagers worse.D. How to get on with the teenagers.62. According to the passage, when children enter adolescence, their parents will .A. change from physical to verbal disciplineB. give them more freedom than beforeC. respect them as adultsD. not punish them any more63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Parents’ warmth can lessen the effects of harsh verbal discipline.B. Harsh discipline works well once there is a strong parent-child bond.C. Parents should often talk with children about their concerns.D. Punishment can help teenagers develop well.64. The passage is most probably intended for .A. the troubled teenagersB. children from middle-class familiesC. the teachers in schoolD. parents having teenage children65. What is the author’s attitude to the verbal di scipline?A. Objective (客观的).B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.CWhat will you do after your house catches fire? Here are some tips after you locate your exit and prepare your key.Become familiar with your room. See if your bathroom has a vent (通风口); all do, but some have electric motors. If you decide to remain in your room, turn it on to help remove the smoke. Take a good look at the window in your room. Now open the window and look outside. Get a good mental picture of what is outside; it may come in handy. It is important to know how to open and close your window.Many people have defended themselves quite nicely in their rooms, and so can you. One of the first things you will want to do is open the window to vent the smoke. Do not break the window: the broken glass from the window can be very dangerous. Besides, if you break your window, say with a chair, you could hit a fireman on the street below. If there is fresh air outside, leave the window open, but keep an eye on it. At this point, most people would stay at the window, waving madly, while their room continues to fill with smoke if the fire burns through, but you must be aggressive and fight back.Here are some things you can do, in any order you choose: if the room phone works, let someone know you are in there. Open the bathroom vent. Fill the bath with water (do not get into it —it is for fire fighting; you’d be surprised how many people try to save themselves by getting into a tub of water — which is how you cook crabs as well!). Wet some sheets or towels, and stuff the cracks of your door to keep out the smoke. With your ice-bucket, bail (舀水) the water from the bath onto the door to keep it cool. Feel the walls: if they are hot, bail water onto them too.Keep it wet; keep everything wet. A wet towel tied around your nose and mouth is an effective filter (过滤器). If you swing a wet towel around the room, it will help clear the smoke.Use your imagination and you may come up with some tricks of your own. The point is there shouldn’t be any reason to panic; keep fighting until reinforcements (增援部队) arrive.66. According to the passage, if a fire broke out, you should .A. open the window and escape through itB. close the window in case that smoke comes inC. break the window but stay away from the broken glassD. open the window and fight back against the fire67. If you were stuck in a room in a fire, you should do the following EXCEPT .A. fill the tub with waterB. inform someone that you are stuckC. bail water onto the walls to keep them coolD. open the door to keep fresh air in68. The people who try to survive by getting into a tub of water would probably end up .A. being rescued finallyB. being killed by the fireC. saving themselves at lastD. keeping the fire away from them69. What is the purpose of tying a wet towel around your nose and mouth?A. To keep you cool.B. To filter the smoke.C. To protect you from the fire.D. To provide you with water.70. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. How to defend yourself in a room if you were stuck in a fire.B. What we should do to prevent a fire.C. How to become familiar with the room in a hotel.D. How to escape if a fire broke out in your room.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Binge drinking used to mean drinking to excess (过度) over several days. Now, however, the term refers to the heavy consumption of alcohol over a short period of time.Alcohol stores, bars, and alcoholic drink companies make drinking seem attractive and fun. It’s easy for a high school student to get caught up in a social scene with lots of peer pressure. Certainly, one of the biggest areas of peer pressure is drinking.Other reasons why people drink include: they’re curious —they want to know what it’s like to drink alcohol. They believe that it will make them feel good, not realizing it could just so easily make them sick and hung-over (宿醉未醒的). They may look at alcohol as a way to reduce stress, even though it can end up creating more stress. They want to feel older.Many people don’t think about the n egative side of drinking. Although they think about the possibility of getting drunk, they may not give much consideration to being hung-over or sick. You may know from experience that drinking too much can lead to difficulty concentrating, memory faults, mood changes, and other problems that affect your day-to-day life. But binge drinking carries more serious and longer-lasting risks as well.If you think you have a binge-drinking problem, get help as soon as possible. The best approach is to talk to an adult you trust —if you can’t approach your parents, talk to your doctor, school counselor, church member, aunt, or uncle. It can be hard for some people to talk to adults about these issues, so an alternative could be a trusted friend or an elder sibling (兄弟姐妹) who is easy to talk to.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The other day, when I went to a coffee shop for a cup of coffee, the shop was unusually quiet.A young lady and a gentleman who was in his late eighties were sitting in front of me. Being quite close to them, I heard their conversation by chance.According to their words and my profession as a woman reporter, it appeared that the lady was a social worker, and that she had accompanied the old man to his doctor’s office earlier in the day. As they had lunch together, they discussed all about his eating habits and health. He was slim, but I concluded that his doctor was concerned about his diet, and the effect it was having on his memory and on his blood pressure.As I listened from my table, I found myself touched by the patience and kindness in the woman’s voice and tone. No matter how many times the man asked “why can’t I eat the sausages?” or declared “But I need the protein!”, she always calmly and gently redirected him back to the healthy meal they were sharing. To help him understand why he should keep a healthy diet, she talked a bit about her elder brother who also had health problems, and her efforts to help him with his diet.Seeing her kindness and compassion (同情), I couldn’t help doing something. So after finishing my coffee, I bought a postcard and wrote a note to her, expressing how moved I was byher service. Before I left, I gave her the card along with a lottery ticket (奖券) I put inside. I wish her and that lovely gentleman all the best.81. What did the woman and the gentleman do earlier that day? (No more than 7 words)____________________________________________________________82.
