四、阅读理解（30分）
A
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
56. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often take exercise.
B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.
57. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because____ __.
A. their parents often cook meals for them
B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can' t choose what to eat
D. there are too many fast food shops around
58. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A. forcing
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving
59. The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A. tell a story
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions
B
Joe Biggs was a butcher (屠夫). His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts of southern England . He worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop. Joe was alone in it, so he had to work harder.
Joe worked five and a half day a week. His shop shut at one o’clock on Thursday, and it was shut the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the busiest days.
Joe had a big refrigerator (冰箱)in his shop, but he tried not to buy too much meat at a time.
One Thursday a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. “I’m sorry I’m very late,” she said, “but some people have just telephoned to say that they are going to come to dinner tonight, and I need some more meat.”
Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold all the rest earlier in the day. He took the piece out and said to the woman. “This is ￡7.15.”
“That piece is too small,” the woman answered. “Haven’t you got anything bigger?”
Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out again and shut the door of the refrigerator with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, “This piece is bigger and more expensive. It’s ￡9.30.”
“Good,” the woman answered with a smile. “give me both of them, please.”
60.Joe worked alone in the shop ________.
A. on Saturdays
B. on Thursdays
C. after his father died
D. after his father stopped working

A. on Thursday afternoons
B. on Sundays

D. every day
62.One day a woman came to his shop ________.
A. at 1:55, Tuesday
B. at 1:05
C. to say sorry to him
D. because someone had suddenly telephoned her
63.Which of the following is true?

B. The woman didn’t want the expensive piece of meat.
C. Joe brought the woman a different piece.
D. The woman wanted to buy the two pieces of meat together.

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends-let them find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (打口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun shots (枪声). When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don’t think that yo u will get help before night comes, try to make a little house — cover up the holes with branches(树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.
What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.
The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.
64.If you got lost in the forest, you should _______.
A. stay where you are and give a signal three times
B. walk around the forest and shouted so that your friends might hear you
C. try to find your friends as soon as possible
D. try to get out of the forest and shouted for help
65.If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun you should ________.
A. shout that you are lost
B. keep up the shouting or whistling
C. shout at the top of your voice
D. shout or whistle once in a while
66.When you hear _______ shouts or whistles or gun shots, you know that _______.
A. two; people will soon come to help you
B. three; some one is asking for help
C. three; people will soon come to help you
D. two; someone is asking for help
67.When you are lost in the forest, but you want to leave your place to get water, you should ________.
A. just go to the river
B. find a bowl or a glass, and then go
C. make a fire so that you might make yourself some hot tea
D. leave marks (标志)as you go to the river so that you can find your way back
D
Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fire can burn forests.
Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put fires. Fires need oxygen (氧气). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.
68.How did people begin to use fire? _________.
A. Not everybody knows how people began to use fire
B. Nobody knows how to make a fire
C. It is an Australian who started a fire
D. We are not sure how people began to use fire
69.Children mustn’t play with matches because ________.
A. matches burn paper
B. it isn’t interesting
C. they can be dangerous
D. they can burn a house
70.When you are going to put out a fire, you ______,
A. must be careful
B. should keep air away from it
C. must know it is dangerous
D. should cover it with water
五、任务型阅读（10分）
注意：每空最多可填3个词。

You are what you eat so maybe it's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week singled out (挑选) several bad eating habits.
●Watching television whi le having meals or snacks (零食).
Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.
● Replacing meals with snacks.
Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物), proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt (酸奶).
●Having drinks rather than water.
Fizzy (有气泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda (苏打水) and coffee actually take water away from your body.
● Choosing meat and certain vegetables over othe rs.
Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition (营养失调) and a weaker body.
● Eating throat tablets (润喉片) as if they were sweets.
If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria (细菌) in your mouth and cause real throat problems.

Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities. Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because old people who live alone at ho me can get some comfort from pets.. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinion, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don’t think it is bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some
