What will the kids say?―Terrible,‖ said Greg Dudzinski, 17, of Ripon High School in Wisconsi n, as he toured the US capital. ―The regular hamburgers are bad enough, so soyaburgers would be a lot worse, offered Zach Richey, 13, of Scottsboro Junior High in Alabama, another tourist.But the United States government – hoping to reduce the amount of fat that children are eating –has approved the use of soy as a meat substitute in meals for schools and day-care centers. Not all kids dislike the change. Mariel Spano, 17, of sandy Greek High School in New York, also visiting the capital, said she likes soyaburgers：―There is less fat, and they are better for you… They taste the same, and they are just as good.‖The government tried to make soy a meat substitute nearly 20 years ago, but later dropped the ideA．At the time, the plan was intended as a cost-cutting move. US Agriculture Department officials say that their purpose now is only to make meals healthier.Schools are likely to increase the amount of soy that is mixed with hamburgers and other foods already on their menus, and they will also be looking for food companies to develop new soy products that children will like. ― I can’t see putting tofu on a student’s plate and having a good acceptance. I can see taking a product that is familiar to the students and adding a large amount of soy to it and having it to be acceptable,‖ said Jill Benza, director of food services for the Mesa, Arizona schools.46．What is the newspaper report mainly about?A．The difficulty in using soy products for US schools.B．Various opinions on soy products for US schools.C．The plan that is made by the US government for school lunch.D．Healthy foods for students in US schools.47．Where did the interviews most probably take place?A．In food companies.

The cut can then be carefully inspected. If it has bled freely any germs will normally have been washed away by the blood. Apply a plaster dressing firmly, bringing the edges of the cut together so that it knits quickly. Keep dry for 1 to 2 days.If the cut is deep and the edges cannot be pulled together with a dressing consult the doctor or the practice nurse. A tetanus (破伤风) injection may be needed.GrazesDirt will often enter a graze caused by falling on a hard or rough surface. It must be cleaned out carefully with an antiseptic solution. (消毒液)After cleaning, leave the graze uncovered. Exposure to the air will cause a scab to form. This will gradually fry and fall off.It is not a good idea to apply a dressing. This may stick to the graze or make it complete wet and infected.BruisesBruises are very common in children. They normally get better in 7 to 10 days Parents sometimes worry that a bone may be broken, but if in doubt consult the doctor. If a child gets up at once after a fall and moves about normally, it is unlikely that a bone has been broken.Severe bruising can be treated by：Rest for 24 to 48 hours .In the case of a badly bruised leg, the limb should be raised. Lying in bed is the easiest way to do this.A bad compress may ease a bad bruise if applied at once. This is made by leaving some material in water and applying it to the bruise.Insect bitesThese are common in the summer .They look like spots about 1/4’’across .They are very itchy (痒) and usually appear on exposed parts, e.g. arms and legs.The itching can be relieved by calamine lotion (护肤药水).Burns and scaldsMinor burns and scalds cause redness of the skin. Immediate treatment by pouring cold water over a burn is often helpful. If burns cause the skin severe hot or break the skin, the doctor should be turned to.Sunburns should, if possible, be prevented by avoiding long exposure and covering exposed areas as much as needed. It may be treated by calamine lotion to relieve the pain.50．The purpose of the booklet is _____A．to tell us what to do until a doctor arrives.B．to explain what cause minor illnesses.C．to show that it is unnecessary to call a doctor.D．to help us to treat minor illnesses at home51．When treating a minor cut ,we are first told to _____.A．clean out the wound.

He tried to sell it for a long time，but was not successful，so at last he decided to solve the problem by using as real estate agent.（房地产代理人）The agent decided at once to advertise the house，and a few days later，the owner saw a very attractive photograph of it，with a wonderful description of its gardens，in an expensive magazine. After the house owner had read the advertisement through，he hurriedly telephoned the real estate agent and said to him，―I'm sorry，Mr. Jones，but I've decided not to sell my house after all. After reading your advertisement in that magazine，I can see that it's just the kind of house I've wanted to live in all my life.‖54.What problem did the man have？A.He couldn't find his houseB.He was unsuccessful at selling his houseC.He was unsuccessful at buying a houseD.He was unsuccessful at finding a real estate agent55.It's easier to sell house through agents because ______.A.they have a magazineB.they are better at writing articlesC.they are good at better advertisingD.they are better looking56.Which of the following best states the main idea？A.You don't know what you have until you have lost it.B.It's hard to sell a houseC.No one likes to live in the country.D.There is no place like home.57.In the passage the word―attractive‖most nearly means ______.A.perfectpleteC.modernD.pleasant to look atDHave you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear？What do you think of that？Fashionable？Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip，when he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school. But in Italy，a nation that takes fashion very seriously，the suggestion caused a debate among parents，teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students' freedom— or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. A parents' group praised the move in favor of good taste，while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildi ngs.―We do not want to kick fashion out，‖ the headmaster explained，―but extrems （极端）of fashion like this are not right in school.‖ Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio，14，wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold，so she wore a matching orange scarf. Another14-year-old said she would probably respect the request，simply for practical reasons. ―I don't re ally feel comfortable in those sort of jeans，‖ said Sarah Lattanzi，―in winter，when dressed like that，it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.‖58. What led to the argument in Italian middle schools？A. Students' craze for fashions.B. Clothes that are too exposing.C. Students' ignoring dress codes（着装规则）D. Students' underwear.59. Which of the following supports the headmaster's request？A. Fashion should be taken seriously.B. Fashion should not be followed in school.C.

The argument against the headmaster's request is that ________.A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students' clothesB. fashion should not be followed in schoolC. dress in Italian schools is too casualD. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngster's health61.The purpose of this story is to ________A. show Chinese students that wearing very fashionable clothes in school is under attack in othercountries,too.B. show that dress code is necessary even in a country like ItalyC. tell us that a debate started in Italian middle schools over the way students dress in schoolD. let us see that Italian students react differently to schools' requests.EA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began totalk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, ―You don’t s ay！‖―You don’t say!‖ I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. ―Well, I’d better change the topic. ‖So I said to him, ―well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?‖ By the way, have you ever been there? ―Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.‖ He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, ―The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are proud of it.‖ Soon I was interrupted again by his order ―You don’t say!‖ I couldn’t help asking .I said, ―Didn’t you say you don’t say?‖ Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, ―You don’t say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to E nglish idioms.‖ Only then did I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expression. 62．A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because .A．English idioms were too difficult to masterB．I had no interest in English learingC．my teacher didn’t emphasize the importanceD．I cared little about the teacher’s instruction63．When I first heard ―You don’t say!‖ I thought .A．the Englishman was not interested in my EnglishB．the Englishman was only interested in the Great WallC．I had talked too muchD．I had to stop talking at once64．Which of the following is true?A．The Englishman was leaving China without seeing the Great Wall.B．The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.C．The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.D．The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting 65．After the Englishman explained the idiom, .A．the Englishman made me a foolB．the Englishman made a fool of himselfC．I felt very sillyD．I felt proud of my understanding高二英语 卷II （共55分）单词拼写（5分）1.I’d like to come, too, if you have no ___________(反对).2.
