一、英语任务型阅读
1．根据短文内容填空，每空一词。

It's important to develop healthy habits in your daily life. The following ways will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.
Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important in a day. Doctors suggest that students' breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy（能量）, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood.
Keep off germs（病菌）. Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you are not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods（情绪） and balance（平衡）. What's more, it's good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking, running, playing ball games or swimming. You can choose your favorite to practice regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.

8．阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。

Much meaning can be carried clearly with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he finds that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. It's the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look yourself up and down, to see if there is something wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, and to make her understand that he loves her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that words cannot express.
Clearly，eye contact（接触）should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place where you stay.
（1）What can your eyes carry clearly according to the passage？（不超过5个词）
（2）Why will the speaker look at the listener from time to time when they are in a conversation？（不超过20个词）
（3）What should you think about when making eye contact？（不超过15个词）

（3）The relationship between two people and the place where we stay.

（2）细节理解题。

根据第二段第二行句子When two people are in a conversation，the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying. 当两个人在谈话时，说话者只会不时地看着听者，以确保听者确实注意到他或她在说什么，可知为了确保听者注意他或她所说的话，故答案为To make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is saying.。

（3）细节理解题。

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容，完成阅读任务。

American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select （挑选） their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the
teacher is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30—50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand anywhere you like.
money；sitting well
【解析】【分析】主要讲了美国教育与中国教育的不同。

（1）根据In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select （挑选）their subjects and teachers first.可知在新学期开始学生选择科目和老师，故填Subjects and teachers/ Teachers and subjects。
