III.阅读理解: （共两小节，满分25分）
第一节：（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）
A
I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating j ust about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R. D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and y ou stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers—it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
31. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.
A. food remaining after a meal
B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables
D. pizza topped with fruit
32. What can we infer from the text?
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
33. The text is written mainly for those ________.
A. who go to work early
B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late
D. who eat before sleep
B
Finland (芬兰) is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious country of Northern Europe. Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests. Relative to its size, Finland has more lakes than any other country. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer of transport, clothing and food.
The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered (侵略) by its western neighbor Sweden (瑞典). After a period of rule by Denmark (丹麦) in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic (拿破仑的) Wars (1804-1818) Finland was
passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.
The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development. Finland is the fifth largest country in Europe, and despite a relatively small population of 5.2 million, the market potential is much greater. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation’s wealth lies in the timber from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water. Finland is an excellent gateway to trading with Russia and the Baltic States because of a long history of trading with these marks. Finland has also enjoyed
a strong and long-Finland’s accession to the European Union in January 1995.
34. From the passage, we learn that Finland _______.
A. lies inside the Arctic Circle
B. lies east of Sweden
C. is next to the countries of northern Europe
D. is entirely covered with forests and lakes
35. Finland must have been under the control of _______ for as long as one hundred years or so.
A. Russia
B. Denmark
C. Sweden
D. foreign countries
36. Among natural resources, the Finnish people benefit mainly from _______.
A. coal and oil
B. forests and water
C. paper and furniture
D. timber and power industry
37. What does the underlined word “timber” probably mean?
A. Fruits.
B. Wood.
C. Animals.
D. Money.
C
An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first –year lectures—which are open to students from all departments were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He said.
University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in seve ral subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis. A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not
understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “It’s pos sible that one good thing to arise from the downturn(衰退) will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
38. Professor John Beath’s lectures are ___________.
A. given in a traditional way
B. connected with the present situation
C. open to both students and their parents
D. warmly received by economics
39. In the opinion of most parents, ___________.
A. economics should be the focus of school teaching
B. more students should be admitted to universities
C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
D. children should solve financial problems themselves
40. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Universities have received more applications.
B. Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.
C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.
D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

Let’s develop a healthy lifestyle
According to a survey among middle school students, many students have the following bad habits: staying up late into the night; going to school without breakfast and often eating instant noodles; spending too much time chatting on QQ or playing computer games.
As we know, if you often stay up late at night, you will feel tired and sleepy during the daytime and cannot concentrate in class. Going to school without breakfast or eating instant noodles instead of meals will cause a lack of nutrition. Spending too much time on QQ or computer games will do harm to your eyes.
In terms of study and health, we should develop a healthy lifestyle. First, go to bed a bit earlier instead of staying up late. Second, keep a balanced diet to build up our bodies. Third, don’t s pend too much time on the Internet. Actually, there are varieties of activities for us to relax ourselves, such as doing sports
or listening to music.。
