8.When I was a child,I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city.We lived on a farm and,in the winter especially,we were quite cut off from the outside world.As soon as I left school,I packed my bags and moved to the capital.However,I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out,not to mention basics like food and housing.Another disadvantage is pollution.I suffer from asthma(哮喘),and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside.Then there is the problem of travelling round.Although I have a car,I seldom use it because of the traffic jams.One choice is to go by bicycle,but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages.First,there is so much to do in the city,whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment.Besides,there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position.Finally,if you like shopping,the variety of goods is very surprising---and,what is more,shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then,in the city?Perhaps it is,when you are in your teens(十幾歲) or twenties.However,as you get older,and especially if you have small children,the peace of the countryside may seem preferable.I certainly hope to move back there soon.
25.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?C
A.Staying on the farm                  
B.Moving to the countryside
C.Leaving home for the city            
D.Running away from the school

A.express his opinions about way of life   
B.describe his life in the countryside

分析 在本文中作者采用對(duì)比的方式說明了城市生活的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn).作者在文中提到城市里不僅污染嚴(yán)重,而且交通堵塞也是大問題.但是同時(shí)城市里充滿著機(jī)遇,人們有著更多展示自己的機(jī)會(huì),而且文化生活和商品也非常豐富.

解答 25.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章首句When I was a child,I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city.可知作者小時(shí)候一直希望離開家鄉(xiāng)到城市里去,故答案選C.
26.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章末段….the peace of the countryside may seem preferable.I certainly hope to move back there soon可知作者希望回到家鄉(xiāng),由此判斷他現(xiàn)在生活在城市里,答案選D.
27.A 推理判斷題.文章開頭用自己小時(shí)候的愿望引出城市生活,然后在下文分別講述城市生活的好處和不好的方面,最后對(duì)城市生活進(jìn)行總結(jié),由此可知作者的寫作意圖是想表達(dá)自己對(duì)城市生活的看法,故答案選A.
28.B 推理判斷題.作者在文中首先列舉城市生活的不利之處,然后又講述城市生活好的方面,由此可知作者是通過對(duì)比的方式來介紹城市生活的,故答案選B.

18.Nobody likes home economics (家政學(xué)).But thinking back the program could help us in the fight against being overweight and chronic (慢性的) diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically.The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s.When most departments of universities were not willing to accept women,home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed,in the early 20th century,home economics was a serious subject.When few people understood germ (微生物) theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins,home economics classes offered important information about washing hands regularly,eating fruits and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However,today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics,forgetting the movement's most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking.Too many Americans simply don't know how to cook.Our diets,made up of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home,have led to many serious health problems.In recent years,many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to forbid the use of food stamps (食品券) to buy soda.Clearly,many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to push ahead with healthy eating.But what if the government put the tools of obesity(肥胖) prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook?
My first experience with home economics happened 20years ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school.A year later,my father's job took our family to Wales,where I attended a large school for a few months.It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything.I remember that it was fun,and with an instructor standing by,it wasn't hard.Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do.Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans today.The history of home economics shows it's possible.

57.Home economicsC.
A.is a subject becoming more and more popular with Americans
B.is often used to help fight against obesity and chronic diseases
C.once offered women as a special way to receive university education
D.was first taught in the agricultural and technical colleges in the early 1900s
58.The third paragraph mainly tells usD.
A.the importance of regular hand washing
B.the health benefits of fruits and vegetables
C.what home economics classes were about in the early 20th century
D.the importance of teaching home economics in the early 20th century
59.In the opinion of the author,how should we fight against childhood obesity?A
A.Children should be taught how to cook.
B.A heavy tax should be put on junk food
C.Healthy eating should be pushed ahead with at school
D.Using food stamps to buy soda should be forbidden
60.What does the author imply(暗示) in the last paragraph?B
A.Her family moved frequently in her childhood.
B.Cooking classes have a far-reaching effect on her later life.
C.To receive a better education,she went to a large school in Wales.
D.Teaching cooking is the key to solving Americans'health problems.

19.Life is good for penguins in Antarctica(南極洲)at the end of the movie Happy Feet.Real-life penguins,though,have little to celebrate.
Twelve of the world's 19penguin species(種類)face serious dangers,according to wildlife experts.
They are in danger of disappearing from the earth,including emperor penguins.
"Many of the world's penguin species are in big trouble,"penguin expert Kassel Siegel told WR News.
Her wildlife group is asking the US government to protect the 12species of penguins in danger.Several countries are making efforts to make sure the rapidly increasing tourists in Antarctica do not cause environmental problems.
Overfishing is one reason for the problem.Penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill.Fishing boats are catching lots of krill.That leaves less food for penguins to eat.
Another reason for the decline(減少)in the number of penguins is global warming.Global warming is the slow increase in average temperature around the world.It is causing sea ice to melt.Penguins need the sea ice as a place to rest while they search for krill.
Scientists say global warming is caused when we drive cars or use electricity.That burns coal,oil,and natural gas.The burning of coal,oil,and natural gas gives off gases that add to the overheating of the earth."We can and must reduce gas emissions(排放)to keep penguins safe in the future,"says Siegel.

24.What would probably happen if people reduced their use of coal,oil,and natural gas?B
A.Penguins would have to move toother places to live.
B. Penguins would be less likely to disappear from the earth.
C.There would be more krill for penguins to eat.
D.t would save people a lot of money.
25.Which o the following are the reasons for the decline in the number of penguins?C
A.The development of tourism and overheating.
B.Overfishing and attacks from other animals.
C.Overfishing and overheating.
D.The develoment of tourism and attacks from other animals.
26.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A
A.Penguins mainly live on small fish and tiny animals which live in water.
B.Penguins need the sea ice as a place to feed their children.
C.Nineteen of the world's penguin species face serious dangers.
D.The US government has taken measures to protect the penguins in danger.

3.It was Molly's job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.
One morning,in addition to his usual lunch bag,Molly handed him a second paper bag.This one was worn and held together with staples (訂書釘).
"Why two bags?"her father asked."The other is something else,"Molly answered."What's in it?""Just some stuff.Take it with you."
Not wanting to discuss the matter,he put both bags into his briefcase,kissed Molly and rushed off.At midday he opened Molly's bag and took out the contents:two hair ribbons (絲帶),three small stones,a plastic dinosaur,a tiny sea shell,a small doll,and 13pennies…The busy father smiled,finished eating,and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket,Molly's stuff included.
That evening,Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper."Where's my bag?""What bag?""The one I gave you this morning.""I left it at the office.Why?""I forgot to put this note in it,"she said."And,besides,Daddy,the things in the sack are the things I really like-I thought you might like to play with them.You didn't lose the bag,did you,Daddy?""Oh,no,"he said,lying."I just forgot to bring it home.I'll bring it tomorrow."While Molly hugged her father's neck,he unfolded the note that read:"I love you,Daddy."Molly had given him her treasures-all that a 7-year-old held dear.
Love in a paper bag,and he missed it-not only missed it,but had thrown it in the wastebasket.So he went back to the office.Just ahead of the night janitor (看門人),he picked up the wastebasket.He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully.The bag didn't look so good,but the stuff was all there and that's what counted.

67.Why did Molly give her father a second bag?C
A.She enjoyed playing with her father.
B.She didn't want to keep the things in the bag.
C.She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.
D.She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.

16.Speedy eaters are three times more likely to be too fat,a problem which is made even worse by the popularity of fast food and the decrease of regular dining habits,some Japanese researchers said on Wednesday.
The findings,published in the British Medical Journal,pay special attention to how eating styles,and not just what or how much is eaten,can affect an obesity epidemic(肥胖流行。 that is becoming more and more severe because of the speed of the Western-style diet in many parts of the world.
The World Health Organization considers around 400million people in the world as too fat,20million of whom are under the age of five.The researchers are concerned that the condition raises the risk of diseases like type 2diabetes(糖尿。 and heart problems.
For their study,Hiroyasu Iso and the team at Osaka University asked more than 3000Japanese volunteers(志愿者) who are 30to 69years old about their eating.About half of the men and a little more than half of the women said they ate until full.About 45percent of the men and 36percent of the women said they ate quickly.
Those who said they ate until full and ate quickly were three times more likely to be fat than people in the"not eating until full and not eating quickly"group,the researchers found.
They believe that the main causes are both the popularity of eating cheap fast food and bad habits such as watching television while eating.
To fight against the bad effect of eating quickly and being too full that can lead to obesity,parents should encourage children to eat slowly and in calm environments,the study suggested.

66.What did the researchers pay special attention to in the study?( No more than 10words)How eating styles can affect an obesity epidemic.
67.Please explain the underlined word"severe"in English.(No more than 3words)
Serious
68What are the researchers concerned?(No more than 15words)The condition raises the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
69.What should parents do to help children fight against obesity?(No more than 10words)
Encourage them to eat slowly and in calm environments.
70.What is the best title for the passage?( No more than 10words)Speedy eaters are more likely to get too fat.
