The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs “fuel” to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by1℃. The number of calories people need per day is different. Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on .
The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate , protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm . Each food contains different amount of these materials, as the round pictures show.
( C= carbohydrate P= protein F= fat. )
56. The amount of calories supplied by equal amounts of milk, rice, and peanuts
is the largest in the case of .
A. milk
B. rice
C. peanuts
D. rice or peanuts
57. Which of the following is true?
A. You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing.
B. Food contains energy in the form of carbohydres , proteins and fuel.
C. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex and the
activities they are in.
D. 3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm , protein 4.0 Cal/gm and fat 8.8 Cal/gm.
58. This article mainly tells us .
A. all the energy is in food
B. the human body needs energy
C. the number of calories depends on your activity
D. we must only eat peanuts to get calories
（B）
That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from th e inside, “Alisa Camacho?”
I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and
out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The lionesses, being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males. But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the rest share. Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many
daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, it’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.
Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.
64. By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author
means to say that lions .
A. are cruel animals
B. are clever animals
C. like to take advantage of other animals
D. like to take every chance to eat
65. According to the text, which of the following is true?
A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.
B. Males care more about eating than active killing.
C. Lions are curious about things happening around them.
D. It doesn’t take lions too much time to make a kill.
66. How can we know that lions are social animals?
A. They depend on each other.
B. They look after each other well.
C. They readily share what they have.
D. They e njoy each other’s company.
67. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Powerful Lions
B. Lions at Work and Play
C. Lions, Social Cats
D. Lions, Skilled Hunters
（D）
(part of Yanglan’s speech in Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games)
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!
Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.
Many people are fascinated by China’s Sport legends（传奇）in history. For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was so popular that women were also participating. So now, you probably will understand why our women football team does so well today.
…….
With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break
new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-----Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the torch will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.
I am afraid I can not give the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Before I end, let me share with you one story. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a faraway land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true. And Marco answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you to athletes, spectators(观众) and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us.
Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all.
68. In Yanglan’s speech, she mentioned a game called Cuju, she implied that _____.
A.China is the original country of football.
B.China is a country with a long histry in sports.
C.People in China used to play football well.
D.Women in China are good at football.
69. Mt. Everest refers to _____.
A. a person who is known to many people in the world
B. Himalayas
C. Mount Qomolangma
D. the Olympic Torch
70. Which of the following is not the promise that China will keep to the world?
A. Whoever takes part in the Beijing Olympic Games will have a great time in Beijing.
B. The flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous
relay.
C. The Olynpic Torch will reach the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma.
D. Marco Polo’s stories will awa it athletes, spectators and the worldwide
television audience.
71. Marco Polo ‘s answer meant that ______
A. what he wrote was half better than what he saw.
B. he was interested in half of what he had seen.
C. he was not able to describe the beauty of the faraway land.
D. there were so many true stories that he could only tell part of them.

Unlikely though it seems, the potato promoted economic development by underpinning （支持）the industrial revolution in England in the 19th century. It provided a cheap source of calories and was easy to grow, so it liberated workers from the land. Potatoes became popular in the north of England, as people there specialized in animal farming and home industry, while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production. By a happy accident, the concentrated industrial activity in the areas and a potato-driven population boom provided enough worker for the new factories. Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was equal of iron for its “historically revolutionary role”.
The potato promoted free trade by contributing to the end of Britain’s Corn Laws, which restricted imports of grain into the United Kingdom in order to protect domestic wheat producers. Landowners supported the laws, since cheap imported grain would reduce their income, but industrialists were against the them because imports would drive down the cost of food, allowing people to spend more on produced goods. Eventually it was not the arguments against the Corn Laws that led to their end-and more’s the pity. It was the tragedy of the Irish potato famine of 1845, in which 1 million Irish lost their lives when the potato crop on which they lived died. The need to import grain to relieve the situation in Ireland forced the government to change its position.
This paved the way for free trade in other areas, which became British policy. As the duke of Wellington complained at the time, “Rotten potatoes have done it all.”
The UN has declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato. It hopes that greater awareness of the goodness of potatoes will contribute to helping to reduce poverty, improve food security and promote economic development.
72. The potato became popular in the north of England partly because________
A. it was easy to grow and of low calories
B. farmers concentrated on wheat production
C. Engels said that it was equal of iron
D. people there specialized in animal farming and home industry
73. Which of the following information can be inferred from the passage?
A. The industrial revolution in England began in the North
B. The potato did promote economic development.
C. The Irish potato famine was a direct cause to end the Corn Laws.
D. There was constant argument against the Corn Laws
74. The underlined word This in the 3rd paragraph refer to _________
A. the Irish potato famine
B. the rotten potatoes
C. the argument against the Corn Laws
D. the government’s change of its position due to the Irish Potato Famine
75.The UN declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato in the hope that_________
A. more people in the world will like potatoes
B. the Irish Potato Famine will be remembered
C. the world knows the potato contributes to solving an international issue poverty
D. the whole world start to grow more potatoes to promote economic development

Dear friends,
Here are my points .We students of today have to pay much attention to our lessons and know little of society thoug h it’s not our fault .A holiday is the best time to make up for that. Taking a part—time job is a good form of social practice. What is learned in books can’t have the same deep effect on us as what is learned through experience. In social practice, we can surely make progress in both knowledge and ability. Besides, taking a part-time job, we may get paid more or less to help our family. Thus ,I will say a senior school student should take a part-time job in holidays, if possible ,of course.。
