If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers (青少年). Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the
following advice:
★Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
★Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.
★Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
★Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and have little fat.
★Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.
★Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.
( )51. “Junk food” contains a lot of .
A. milk and sugar
B. fruits and sugar
C. vegetables and salt
D. fat, oil, salt and sugar
( )52. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found many students liked .
A. vegetables
B. unhealthy food
C. fruits
D. healthy food ( )53. What does the underlined word “beyond” mean in Chinese in this passage?
A. 超出
B. 不如
C. 相等
D. 在后面( )54. In this passage, doctors think that teenagers should eat more .
A. food with no vitamins
B. fat and sugar
C. vegetables and fruits
D. salt and oil
B
Last Tuesday, Miss Jones was giving a speech to her students. She held up a glass of water and asked the class: “How heavy do you think this glass of water is? ” The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 400 g. “It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you might have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. ”
( )55. Miss Jones is________________.
A. a student
B. a doctor
C. a physicist
D. a teacher ( )56. If you put down the burden, you may feel_____________.
A. sick
B. energetic
C.heavy
D. humorous ( )57. "A glass of water" in Miss Jones’ speech is______________.
A. an activity
B. a mood
C. an example
D. a spirit ( )58. This was a lesson about___________________.
A. how to hold a glass of water
B. how to solve a physics problem
C. how to relax oneself in life
D. how to keep fit by drinking water
C
Here are some commentaries (解说词) of a TV program:
Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks(缝隙) of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.
( )59. Plants need __________ things to grow well according to the passage.
A. five
B. four
C. three
D. two
( )60. Which place is the best one for plants to grow? ____________
A. Dry places
B. cold places
C. Sandy beaches
D. rich land ( )61.The reason why most plants can't grow on dry deserts is that .
A. there isn't enough sunlight
B. there isn’t enough water
C. it is too hard there
D. it has little food for plants
( )62. We may watch the TV program on __________channel.
A. news
B. music
C. science
D. chat show
五、词汇。

每小题1分，共16分。

A)
63. I want to ▲some of my pocket money to charity.
64. We think we need some more water ▲the walk.
65. It is silly of you to ▲the chance.
66. We’ll play basketball this afternoon. Come and ▲us, Eric!
67. It’s difficult to ▲the bad tooth.
B) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。

68. There were many ▲(visit) in Beijing last October.
69. The ▲(agree) is good to both sides.
70. Dr Liu is used to ▲(operate ) on the plane.
71. We can help the ▲(home) people in other ways.
72. All people here will die ▲(with) water.
C) 用括号内所给动词中正确的形式完成短文。

Once a machine in a factory didn’t work. The workers could do nothing but 73 (turn) to a German engineer for help, who drew a line on it and then said “Take off the part where the line is and change it for a new one.” The machine, with a new part on, 74 (begin) running well again. The engineer then asked for ＄30,000 for the charge(收费). The following were what he 75 (write) on the bill, “Mr Green, now I ask for ＄30,000 for what I already 76 (do). In fact, the new part only 77 (cost) one dollar, and 78 (know) where the problem with the machine is costs ＄29,999.”
One dollar for changing a new part sounds reasonable (有道理的), but the ＄29,999 is exactly the value of wisdom and knowledge.
六、阅读填词。

阅读短文，根据所读内容在短文后图表中的空格里填入一个恰当的单词。

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression (印象) from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first day at a new job:
●First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if a new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
● Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
● Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor (上司) may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your question when the boss is not around.
●Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals(目标) for yourself.
● Never be the first one to leave. Observe (观察) what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间). It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.

Dear Editor,
I often read your magazine and I think perhaps you can help me. I’m studying at my new school now, but I’m not happy.
I’m a Grade 9 student. I lived in Xuzhou, but I have just moved to Nanjing with my family. Now, I’m studying at a new secondary school.
I know little about this school and I have no friends here. I don’t know how to talk to my new classmates. Sometimes, I’m very nervous and I can’t answer their questions. I feel really uncomfortable when they talk to me. At lunch time, I always sit on the playground and read books alone. I hope they will not come and talk to me.
I miss my classmates from my old school very much. I don’t know what to do now. I hope you can give me some advice.
Your
Li Mei。
