三.阅读理解〔2*4*3〕
A
Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a
large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.
ually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.
A.noisy
B. quiet
C. having a rest
D. serious
2.The situation in the class is _____than in your house.
A.not very different from
B. sometimes the same as

for you is _________.
A.to show your ability

B
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair and beard cut as always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. They talked about so many things on various subjects.
Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said, “I don’t believe that God exists as you say so.〞“ Why do you day that?〞asked the client(顾客). “ well, it’s so easy; you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist.〞“Oh, tell me.〞“ If God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be so many abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t think of God who permits all of these things.〞The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn’t want to respond so as to prevent an argument.
The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long hair and beard. Then the client again entered the barbershop and he said to the barber, “ Knowing what? Barbers do not exist.〞
“ How come they don’t exist?〞asked the barber, “Well I am here and I am a barber.〞“No!〞the client exclaimed, “They don’t exist because if they did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the street.〞
“Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me.〞“Exactly!〞affirmed the client. “That’s the point. God does exist, what happens is that people don’t go to him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.〞

C
People who eat at home most of the time have better nutrition than those who go out to eat , a recent study shows. Cornell University professors Lana Hall and Karen Bunch interviewed 3900 people in the survey. “People who eat less than 30 percent of their food away from home eat the most nutritiously,〞they said.
“In general, Americans don’t have nutrient deficiencies(营养不良), except for iron and calcium,〞they reported. They have the opposite problem——over—consumption(过度消耗), especially of fat.
The food at many fast food restaurants is often low in vitamins. “People who eat more than 30 percent of total calories away from home eat foods that are generally low in nutrients per calorie,〞the professors said. More calories and adequate nutrient intake are required to achieve.
One of the major health risks is eating too much fat. The professor found than fat consumption became greater as income went up. It also went up in houses where the female worked. This is probably because these people eat more highly processed foods.
1.According to the passage, which of the following suggestions would you
most readily take?
A.Eat out as many times as possible
B.Eat at home as many times as possible
C.Eat foods with a lot if iron, calcium and fat

D.They will spend much money on it 3.Nowadays, a major health risk that people face is_______.

六．书面表达
Dear Editor,
I’m a student of Senior 2. At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board at school. They say I can ask questions whenever I have any. Besides, they think boarding at school will make it possible for me to make full use of my night time, and I can also develop the ability to look after myself.
However, I have my own thoughts. Staying at home in the evening,
I can make use of my time freely and learn what I’d like to. Besides, I
can watch TV for a little time. After all, study doesn’t mean everything.
I really don’t know what to do. Please give me your advice!
Yours
Li Hua。
