As some of you already know, I will be helping to launch The Tales of Beedle the Bard with a Beedle tea party at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh on 4th December.I’m delighted th at the book will now be available to everyone, with the net proceeds of sales going to the Children’s High Level Group, the charity I helped found which works with vulnerable children across Eastern Europe.
I’m afraid we do have to limit the attendance to the launch, so it will be for 8～11 year­olds from primary schools in the Edinburgh area，who will be chosen by a random ballot run by the local newspaper.Also，some tickets are available via competitions being run by Scholastic，Bloomsbury and Amazon—see their websites for details. One of the seven original handwritten copies of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, kindly loaned by my first editor Barry Cunningham, will be going on show for a month at the National Library of Scotland from 5th December to 4th January 2009, so anyone visiting Edinburgh will be able to see it.
Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children in Eastern Europe are living in horrifying conditions in large, residential institutions.Contrary to popular belief, fewer than 4% of them are orphans, but are in care because they are considered disabled or their families are poor or from ethnic minorities.The Children’s High Level Group is publishing The Tales of Beedle the Bard，in cooperation with my English language publishers Bloomsbury and Scholastic, my foreign publishers throughout the world and also the online bookseller Amazon, who are producing a Special Limited Edition version, all of them to raise money to fund our work in helping these children out of institutions and into loving families or community care homes.
I hope that The Tales of Beedle the Bard will not only be a welcome Christmas present to Harry Potter fans, but an opportunity to give these abandoned children a voice. 【解题导语】本文是一篇发言稿，作者介绍了自己新作的首发仪式及其相关准备情况。

【长难句解读】I’m afraid we do have to limit the attendance to the launch，so it will be for 8～11 year­olds from primary schools in the Edinburgh area，who will be chosen by a random ballot run by the local newspaper.
本句为复合句，so连接两个表因果关系的分句。

第二分句中who引导定语从句。

语意：恐怕我们不得不对发布会做出席限制，因此与会人员将主要是来自于爱丁堡区小学的8到11岁的学生们，他们将由当地的报纸以抽签的方式随机选出。

As an aid­fashioned as it sounds, doctors say the best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more.For women who are middle­aged or older, experts say an hour
of daily exercise is necessary just to keep weight.
But for most women, fitting in an hour of exercise in an already busy day is difficult, and it is even impossible.Especially for many women, most hours are already filled with a full­time job and raising a family.At the end of the tiring day, at least in the U．S., there is little incentive to prepare a dinner when fast food is so available －and so much more fattening.
Nearly twenty million women in the U．S.have the problem of obesity.The United Nations report notes that America is one of the countries that have the most obese people in the world and Mississippi has more overweight women than any other state in the U．S..The U．S.Center for Disease Control says the number of overweight women increased by 60% between 2004 and 2009 in America.The World Health Organization says more than one billion women in other nations are in the same shape.
While there is plenty of advice on how to lose kilograms, a new study is carried out on middie­aged and older women who keep normal body w eight, or BMI (Body Mass Index)．“We found that physical activity was effective in controlling weight only among women who started to gain weight from a normal BMI ，”I­Min Lee and her colleagues found more exercise did not help.
“Once a woman is obese, ther e was no relation between physical activity and weight change among these women，”Lee said.The researchers say the only way that obese women can lose weight is to simply cut calories.
9．What makes it difficult for most women to have an hour of exercise every day? A．Losing confidence in exercising.
B．Paying all attention to their jobs.
C．Having no interest in exercising.
D．Being too busy to find spare time.
解析：选D。

由第二段内容可知，工作和家庭占据了妇女们的大多数时间，因此她们很难找到业余时间锻炼。

10．The third paragraph shows us that ________.
A．more and more women are caring about their weight
B．the problem of woman obesity worldwide is serious
C．many organizations are built to care about fat women
D．America has more overweight women than any other country
解析：选B。

由第三段内容特别是最后一句话可知，世界范围内的妇女肥胖问题十分严重。

11．What should an obese woman do to lose weight according to Lee?
A．Eat more vegetables and fruit and less fat.
B．Keep busy all day long and do a lot of exercise.
C．Find a high energy costing and tiring job.
D．Sleep less, eating less and exercising more.
解析：选A。

由最后一段最后一句话可知，肥胖妇女只能靠减少食物中的热量来减肥，也就是说她们应该多吃水果和蔬菜，少吃含高热量的东西。

12．From the passage，we know an hour of daily exercise can ________.
A．help people to lose weight
B．make people put on weight
C．make people keep weight
D．keep people busy
解析：选C。

由第一段最后一句话可知，每天一小时的锻炼只能使人保持体重。

1．C 该题考查冠词的用法。

本题中space是不可数名词，此前不加冠词；need是可数名词，此处表示泛指，所以要用不定冠词。

因此该题答案是C。

2．B 句意为：如今科研结果可以很快用于工厂生产。

3．C 本题考查形容词辨析。

由后面的分句“没有电脑我几乎无法工作”，可知“电脑已成为我生活中必不可少的(essential)一个组成部分”，故选C项。

special / especial 特别的； specific具体的。

4. D 从题干中my grandparents have been here for the weekend判断主句应用现在的某种时态，而且我只是因为祖父母来度周末临时睡沙发，所以选D，现在进行时表示临时性的动作。

5．B 考查形容词辨析。

convenient方便的；available可获得的；possible可能的；personal个人的，私人的。

句意为：我喜欢单人间，你们这里有(可用的)吗？
6．B 考查动词短语辨析。

句意为：今天报道的股市的进一步暴跌引发了新一轮抛售的浪潮。

set off 表示“引起，激发”，符合语境。

give off “发散”， put off “取消”，get off “下车”，均不符合题意。

7．C 考查副词词义辨析。

skilled workers表示“熟练工人”，unskilled workers 表示“不熟练工人”，两者情况进行了对比。

meanwhile“在此期间，同时”，符合句意，故选C。

moreover“此外，而且”；therefore“因此，所以”；otherwise“否则，要不然”。

8．A 考查非谓语动词。

此题涉及固定结构have difficulty(in) doing sth，意为“做……很困难”。

“what great difficulty I had…complicated ideas in simple English.”为感
叹句，其陈述句为：“I had great difficulty…complicated ideas in simple English.”。

9. B 本题考查动词短语辨析。

take up开始从事/喜欢，占据；make up编造，讲和，弥补，打扮，组成；look up向上看，查找；turn up把声音调大，出现。

句意为：多亏了Smith 先生，在经历了十年的冷战后，这对父子终于讲和了。

根据句意本题应该选择B项。

10．A 本题考查动词辨析。

demand在此处的意思是“询问”。

11．D 考查交际用语及短语辨析。

“Here you are.”表示同意请求，所以选by all means “当然可以”，相当于of course或certainly。

12．B 本题考查动词辨析。

realize意识到，实现；spot发现，认出；watch注视，看；observe观察。

句意：虽然我已经10年没有见他了，但我第一眼就认出了他。

故只有B项符合句意。

13．C 本题考查非谓语动词。

句意为：他把自己反锁在书房里，是为了写作时不被打扰。

表目的应使用不定式短语，又因he是interrupt逻辑上的宾语，故使用被动语态。

14．D 解答该题的关键是弄清句意和常用的句式表达形式。

本句意思是：如果我们继续如此浪费地利用能源的话，那么很有可能……“很有可能”可用Chances are thatclause 或There are chances thatclause来表达。

因此该题答案是D。

15．A 本题考查交际用语。

so what那又怎么样，表示不以为然。
