The main objection to vegetarianism （素食主义）on a long-term basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein 一the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days of weeks （say, for religious reasons） you will have notice that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast （禁食）is over and you get your reward of a delicious meat meal.Proteins are built up from about twenty food elements called H amino-acid n（氨基酸），which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein・ This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino-acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological （生理学的）point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism ・The economic side of the question, though, must be considered・ Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams （克）of protein a day, has to consume a great bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day. （276 words）1・ A strict vegetarian _________ .A.rarely eats animal productsB. sometimes eats eggsC. never eats any animal productsD. never eats protein2We feel weak when we go without meat and other animal products _______ .A.because we are reducing our food amountB. because we do not get enough proteinC. because vegetables do not contain proteinD. unless we take plenty of exercise3.Proteins are built up from _________ ・A.about twenty different foodsB. about twenty different vegetablesC. various fats and sugarsD. about twenty different amino-acids4.Physiologically, life-long vegetarianism may not be good because ________ ・A. it makes people very thinB. the body must process too much wasteC. the farmer lose moneyD. vitamin-deficiency diseases may result5.One thing in favour of vegetarianism is that _________ ・A. vegetable food is easier to digestB. animal food is less expensiveC. vegetable food is cheaper D・ it is good for the digestion（二）One day, when I was on my way to my high school, another young man who waswalking past me decided to show off in front of his friends and show them how "manly" he really was. Without saying a word, he walked up to me and began punching me. Once I began fighting back, he pulled out a gun and pointed it straight at me. After seeing this, I ran as fast as I could towards my school, hearing the group of boys laughing badly behind me. While most people hold the belief that inner-city schools can only hinder the learning process, I would argue that these schools provide experiences which enrich one f s education simply because of their location （位］置）in the city.To clarify this point, I must first describe the ways in which Saint Ignatius High School is different from the typical inner-city school. This private, Catholic （天主教“勺）institution consists mostly of white students who come from wealthy families. Although Saint Ignatius is in the city, it also gives its students one of the best education in the state. Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype （模工弋化）these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time・Take Mrs. Bononi, my Spanish teacher, for example・ She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved・ She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as Amnesty International and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting. Because of Mrs. Borroni, I got heavily involved in the schooVs activities and learned a lot in the process. (313 words)1.The authors argument that inner-city schools ^provide experiences which enrich one's education simplybecause of their location in the city” is based on_________ ・A. consensus opinionB. his personal experienceC.a film he saw D . a story he read in a book2.Saint Ignatius High School differs from the typical inner-city school in all the following except ____________ ・A. minority studentsB. poor students C・ location in a city D. inferior education system3.Many people tend to speak more of _________ ・A.the negative sides of inner-city schoolB.teachers* lack of love for teaching at St. IgnatiusC・ students1 lack of love for learning at St. IgnatiusD.daily fights at St. Ignatius4.All the following describes Mrs・ BoiToni except _________ ・A. hard-workingB. considerate C・ responsible D・ indifferent5.It seems that the author's attitude toward inner-city school is _________ ・A. optimisticB. defensiveC. criticalD. bitter(三)Do you know how to use a mobile phone (手机)without being rude to the people around you?Talking during a performance irritates (激怒)people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振动).When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance・Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—specially enclosed spaces・ Would you want to listen to someone^s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.When eating at a restaurant with friends, don't place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone・This enables you to speak quietly so that others won^t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone・Many people believe that they can, live without their mobile phone・ Owing a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit you5re your conversation to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home ・1.What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?A)Call back after the performance B) Answer it near the exit doorC) Talk outside the exit door D) Speak in a low voice2.Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think __________ ・A)you prefer to talk to your friends at the tableB)you value your calls more than your friendsC)you are enjoying the company of your friendsD)you are polite and considerate of your friends3.When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to _________ ・A)use a more sensitive microphoneB)shout loudly into your microphoneC)go away quietly to continue the phone callD)use your hand to help speak into the phone4.The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be _________ ・A)limited B) expected C) discouraged D) recommended5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A)You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairsB)You should speak quietly into your phone while in a churchC)You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeralD)You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible(四)Pm coming off this plane, and landing at London airport. Im looking around for a middle-aged woman, my Aunt Penn, who Fve seen in pictures・ The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace (〜［)and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I'm just guessing since the pictures only showed her face.Anyway, Pm looking and looking and everyone's leaving and there's no signal on my phone and Fm thinking Oh great, I'm going to be abandoned at the airport so that's two countries they don't want me in, when I notice everyone's gone except this ki d who comes up to me and says, "You must be Daisy.” And when I look relieved he does too and says JTm Edmond.” "Hello Edmond/ I said, "nice to meet you/1 I look at him hard to try to get a feel for what my new life with my cousins might be like.Now let me tell you what he looks like before I forget because it's not exactly what you'd expect from your average fourteen-year-old what with the cigarette and hair that looked like he cut it himself with a knife in the dead of night, but aside from that he s exactly like some kind of mutt, you know the ones you see at the dog shelter who are kind of hopeful and sweet and put their nose straight into your hand when they meet you with a certain kind of dignity and you know from that second that you f re going to take him home? Well (hat's him.Only he took me home. Fll take your bag, he said, and even though he r s about half a mile shorter than me and has arms about as thick as a dog leg, he grabs my bag, and I grab it back and say Where's your mom, is she in the car? And he smiles and takes a drag on his cigarette, which, even though I know smoking kills and all that, I think is a little bit cool, but maybe all the kids in England smoke cigarettes? I don't say anything in case it's a well-known fact that the smoking age in England is something like twelve and by making a big thing about it Fll end up looking like an idiot when I've barely been here five minutes. Anyway, he says Mum couldn r t come to the airport because she's working, and everyone else seemed to be somewhere else, so I drove here myself.1.Daisy flew to London toA) see England B) live with her aunt C) meet Edmond D) visit a friend2.Before Edmond greeted her, Daisy feltA) anxious B) curious C) relieved D) excited3・ Edmond waited till everyone was gone before greeting Daisy because —A)he did not want to talk to a girl before othersB)he did not get Daisy's phone callC)he had never seen Daisy beforeD)he was looking for a middle-aged woman4.What did Edmond look like in Daisy's eyes?A) An average fourteen-year-old・B) A lost dog.C) An old friend.

Obviously I was going to have to behave (表现)a little bit differently in this new environment. Because of St. Ignatius's view as an essential part of the community, people could not exactly be banned from walking around the campus during the day. This meant that I would sometimes see homeless people begging for money as I ran from class to class・ One day I ran into someone begging on the comer near school. I decided to give the homeless person a dollar. At the time I saw no reason in my teachers1 warnings. For the next week straight, this man waited for me at the same place in the hopes that I would give him more money. He hassled me every day until I finally told him that I was not going to give him anything else. Because this may have been an unusual case, I did not want to make any conclusions about homeless people・However, I did learn from this experience that I should probably listen to my teachersmore often on issues such as this one.Students1 lives become enriched simply by attending an inner-city school. For someone who had lived in the suburbs all his life, such as myself, a new style of living can be experienced. If St. Ignatius High School were not in the middle of Cleveland, I would not have had so many opportunities to grow and mature as a person. Going to school in the city helped me to overcome the childish views I once had, and I am now better prepared to take on the challenges which await me in life. (282 words)1 ・ Why did people there walk around the campus during the day?A.

His teachersB. The curriculum of St. IgnatiusC.His life experience at St. IgnatiusD. His religious belief(六)I was born with a disability that affects my sense of balance, causing me to walk with a limp. Not only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys.The disability has had its ups and downs・ As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked. There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at me and call me names simply because of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and early 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or seem noticeably different from themselves.Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance・ The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down some of those barriers (障碍)that, as a child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no end. Now I look beyond what I can' do and focus on what I can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms・There is nothing in this world that comes easy・ I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead・ People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability・ But their compassion(怜悯)is misplaced・Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life and all that's around me. I want to be seen not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom (成长).So I decide to become an advocate (倡导者)on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored・I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to use and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community•1 ・ Why did children stare at the author when he was young?A)He walked in an uneven wayB)He often lost his balance and fell to the groundC)He had an appearance quite different from othersD)He spoke in a different way from others2.It can be inferred from the passage that in the 1970s, disabled children __________ ・A)were not accepted by their peersB)received different treatment at schoolC)had frequent tights with their classmatesD)had ups and downs in their life3.Being disabled, the author __________ .A)has lost many a battle in his lifeB)looks at life as a challengeC)focuses on the limitations he has to sufferD)is angry for the many opportunities he has lost4.According to the author, his disability __________ .A)has given him a better understanding of lifeB)aroused sympathy from people around himC)is a constant barrier between him and the communityD)has prevented him from growing up to a full person5.Why did the author decide to become an advocate for the disabled?A)He still has a mouth to see and a mind to thinkB)He has got a powerful voice to change people's mindsC)The signing of the ADA has failed to change a thing in their lifeD)Their rights are still being ignored。
