Nicknames can also be funny.Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine.

I missed my work, my colleagues, my friends and even the overcrowded Mumbai locals. My job with a large financial company seemed like a distant dream. Back in the l990s, smaller Indian towns had barely any financial activity. For someone used to spending over twelve hours working, sitting home was punishment. I needed to work so I sent my resume to all suitable offices.But after almost a month of serious job-hunting I was still jobless. I felt worthless. My husband was busy with the demands of his new task and l felt well and truly alone.Then one day a neighbor dropped in. She happened to read through what l wrote about my trouble after tough days of job-bunting. "You write quite well, " she remarked casually. She left, but the thought remained. After months of being rejected, I began to consider what my neighbor said. I was good at something...or was she merely out of politeness?That evening over dinner I mentioned the incident to my husband. He suggested that should have an attempt at the local newspaper. I had never expected to work for the newspaper. I had nothing to recommend myself - no qualifications, no background, and no experience. However. the next morning, armed with the shreds(醉片) of my confidence and my resume, went to the newspaper office. The interviewer silently handed me a copy and said, "Edit it. " When I finished, I handed it back to him. I waited breathlessly for the words "Your experience doesn't fit you to do this job. " "This is not bad," he said, "but you'll be starting at the bottom of the ladder. " I was being offered a job!That was not the end of my story, though. Each day was a challenge but I learnt.

Although some sites do contain walking trails, the North Alabama Birding Trail is not an actual trail. Some of the sites are roadside stops and others are located in parks , preserves , or wildlife(避难所) . A few sites can be explored by canoe or boat. All of the sites were selected because they provide excellent opportunities for bird watching.A committee made up of conservation groups, wildlife experts, and birding enthusiasts (狂热者) selected the sites for the trail. The sites can be visited all the year round. although some offer greater diversity at certain seasons. Habitats along the NABT include forests, rivers, wetlands. and grasslands. A variety of birds may be seen at some of the stops along the trail. Some sites have large concentrations of migratory birds, which have regular seasonal journeys. Other stops allow a glimpse of rare or endangered birds. Types of birds that may be seen along the trail include water birds, shore birds, songbirds, and raptors(猛禽) .Telescopes are handy when you are visiting the birding sites. The NABT is divided into three geographical sections: the Northeast Loop, the Central Loop ,and the Northwest Loop. Stops in the Northeast Loop include Guntersville State Park, the Guntersville Peninsula, Little River Canyon National Preserve, and Roy B. Whitaker Paint Rock River Preserve. Sites along the Central Loop include Monte Sano State Park, Round Island Recreation Area, Hays Nature Preserve, and a number of sites within Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The Northwest Loop includes stops at Joe Wheeler State Park, Wilson Dam, Freedom Hills Wildlife Management Area, and sites within Bankhead National Forest.All of these sites have guaranteed public access and parking areas. Restrooms and food service are available at some sites. but other sites have no facilities at all. A Visitors' Guide can be requested online or downloaded from the NABT website, northalabama birdingtrail. com . The guide includes a map to the sites.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage .Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer .Tea is the second most appreciated drink in the world after water. Tea is a plant and its leaves are classified into several types such as white tea, black tea and green tea. This plant is grown mostly in China and Japan.There are many differences between green and black tea. Green tea can be obtained through two methods. According to the traditional Japanese method, green tea is obtained by steaming the leaves. The Chinese prepare the leaves by frying them in a pan without oil. To avoid the process of oxidation(氧化) , the tea is processed within no more than wo days from the moment the leaves have been picked up.Black tea is obtained through the complete oxidation of the leaves before being dried. When the process of oxidation is complete, the leaves are heated and sorted out depending on their quality. The black color of the leaves is given by this complete oxidation process.Both green tea and black tea can be used for the treatment for many illnesses, thus having a huge medical value. Green tea can help reduce the level of cholesterol(胆同醇) and the risk of certain types of cancer. It contains tannin(丹宁酸) , which can improve our immunity(免力)level. The most obvious effect of green tea is that of refreshing our mental state. Black tea contains more caffeine than green tea and is excellent for protecting us against cardiovascular(心血管的）and cancer diseases.People with very low blood pressure should drink black tea. It's very good for digestive troubles. This tea can help women lose weight.Any type of tea, regardless of its color, can have side effects for some people. These teas do contain caffeine, and people with high blood pressure should ask their doctors if they are allowed to drink any of these types of tea.People who have difficulty in absorbing calcium should completely avoid the consumption of black tea.Section B (l0 marks)Directions; Read the following passage . Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .Vitamins and other dietary supplements(饮食补充物) taken by millions of women may actually put them at more risk. Scientists say there is little evidence that the pills do any good and in fact some could cause serious harm. A study involving nearly 39,000 women has found multivitamins, iron and copper(铜) all increased the risk of early death.Nearly a third of healthy adults in Britain take some form of dietary supplement most days and the industry is worth $675 million a year. Some of the most popular pills include multivitamins, vitamin A, C and E - which are all thought to improve long-term health and prevent illnesses.The results found copper increased the risk of dying prematurely(过早地) by 18 percent. Multivitamins raised the risk by 2.4 percent, and vitamin B6 by 4 percent. The scientists do not fully understand how supplements may cause early death, but they may affect the body's natural defences. The scientists suggest supplements should only be taken by patients who lack dietary supplements and only under the supervision (监督) of a doctor. Everyone else should ensure they eat a balanced diet to get adequate dietary supplements.Jaakko Mursu. from the University of Eastern Finland, said ."Based on existing evidence, we see few reasons for the general and widespread use of dietary supplements. We recommend that they be used with strong medically-based cause.Dr Carrie Ruxton said: "Multivitamin supplements contain a variety of essential vitamins which help thosewith less healthy, or irregular diets to meet the needs of nutrients(营养) . Them findings should be treated withextreme caution considering the poor method and lack of reliable information about the health state of participants, or the type of diets consumed. As there is no reliable biological reason why normal supplement use should impact on death, it is probable that these findings represent an effect of age and ill-health rather than supplement use. " 81. What do the scientists say about vitamin pills and supplements? (No more than 12 words)_______________________________________________________________________________82. Why do many healthy adults take vitamin pills and supplements most days? (No more than 14words)_______________________________________________________________________________83.

On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transpla nt from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2002, Alfred rec eived a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each r eceived heart transplants.“I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him.” Alfred said with a g rin (露齿而笑), pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters , who laughed frequently at their jokes.While the twins knew that genetics (遗传学) might have played a role in their condition, they recognized t hat their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid i t on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I g ot for not dieting properly.”The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years s ince his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day , and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his rec overy.“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well,” Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re ver y close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”61.

His new heart was younger than Anthony’sCSince the gene，called DAF 16 in worms（虫），was recently found in many animals and in humans，the finding could open up new ways to affect aging(老龄化)，immunity(免疫)and resistance in humans，the scientists said.“We wanted to find out how normal aging is being governed by genes and what effect these genes have on other traits(特征)，such as immunity，”said Robin May of the University of Birming ham，who led the study.Populations across the world are aging at a surprising pace，bringing potentially big challenges for health and social care sys tems. A study by Danish scientists last year found that half of b abies born in the rich world today will live to celebrate their 100t h birthdays. Scientists are eager to find out new ways to affect aging to help them stay healthier as their lives extend.“What we have found is that things like resistance and aging te nd to go hand in hand，”May said in an interview.May's team compared lifespan，stress resistance and immunity in four related species of worm. They also looked for differences in the activity of DAF 16 in eac h of the four species，and found that they were all quite distinct （有区别的）.May said DAF 16 was active in most cells in the body and was very similar to a group of human genes called FOXO genes，which scientists believe play a role in the aging process.“The fact that subtle(微妙的) differences in DAF 16 between species seem to have suchan impact on aging and health is very interesting and may expla in how differences in lifespan and related traits have arisen duri ng evolution，”M ay said.66．In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?

Fill in the numbered bla nks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MOR E THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Coffee has become a popular drink in our culture because it nat urally contains caffeine (咖啡因), which people in today’s society rely on to provide them with energy.Most people have a coffee maker at home for guests who come to visit. In the workplace many people start their day with a cup of coffee, and then continue to drink it until it’s time to go home . Many meetings also begin with a cup of coffee --- which is why so many workplaces now have a steady flow of o ffice coffee.Coffee is unsurprisingly one of the most traded agricultural products in the world, supporting the economy in many countries. C offee is made from the roasted(烤，烘，焙) seeds of coffee cherries, which grow on trees in over 70 cou ntries. The seeds are roasted to different degrees depending on the flavors wanted, and then are brewed(煮) to create the coffe e drink. Coffee usually sold is already roasted, so that all you h ave to do is add hot water.Coffee is classified according to its appearance --- light, medium light, medium, medium dark, dark, or very dark. People argue a lot about whether the effect of drinking coffee is positive or negative. Some people worry that drinking too much coffee is bad for our health. But you can buy decaffeinated (脱去咖啡因的) coffee, which has a lot less caffeine. Most people, however, would not care about the negative effects of drinking coffee.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could re member, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the back o f his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year he even tried pumpkin. The pumpkins did turn out well.As little girls, my sister and I would spend time looking after the garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My gran dfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fence and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even higher.I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me. The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Every year as soon as the tomato plants bloomed(开花), I would ask my grandfather when we could eat the tomatoe s. He would say, “Not yet.” I would ask the next week, “Can we pick them yet?” He would answer, “Not yet.” Finally, I would be sure that they were ripe(成熟的). When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “Can we pick them no w?”He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think the garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his kindness with t hose around him. The garden always had more than enough ve getables for my grandparents and for my family, so he would gi ve some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My gran dfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could always see the pride on his face when everything was complete.81.
