When I started riding a bike a couple of years ago, I didn't think my involvement would ever be more serious than the occasional short ride.

As I topped the crest (頂)of a hill, the beautiful sunset kept me going for a few minutes more. Then in the distance, I saw a lone woman riding very slowly 48 the bright red sun. I 49 that the person looked different in some way, but I couldn't tell why. So I pushed myself to 50 . There she was, riding along slowly but 51 , with a slight and determined smile on her face and she had only one leg.
My focus changed in that instant. For a whole day I'd been 52 my body. But now I knew it wasn't the body, but the 53 that would help me reach my goal.

A
A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living among more concrete and fewer trees. Such findings tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic(肥胖癥的流行)began in the 1980s, and many people think it results from increased portion（食物） sizes and inactivity , but that can't be everything. Big Macs and TVs have been with us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were related to something in the environment," says Thomas Glass of the Hopkins School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green.
The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn't the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer to identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood simply means more places for kids to play ― which is important since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest links to children's activity levels.
Glass warns that most studies don't necessarily prove a link between greenness and health, but they're helping spur action. In September the U.S. government approved the No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives(積極性)aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors.
Finding green space is, of course, not always easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks, take advantage of what's there. Your children in particular will love it ― and their bodies will thank you.
56. According to the passage, what might cause children’s inactivity?
A. Less concrete and more trees B. Increased portion sizes
C. A green neighborhood D. A shrinking of the green
57. According to the passage, which of the following statements is wrong?
A. Big Macs and TVs have something to do with obesity.
B. If a 100-pound man lives in green space for 2 years, he will lose 13 pounds.
C. Kids should be exposed more to outdoors.
D. Kids gain less weight living in a suburb or a city with good parks.
58. What does the underlined word “spur” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. improve B. take C. encourage D. stop
59. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. The obesity epidemic B. Slimmer in the grass
C. Causes of obesity D. Prevention of obesity

Tight-lipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get．”
Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things．
You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served．
Similarly, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself．In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services．
This account of yourself is actually a sketch (概括)of your working life and should include education, experience and references．Such an account is valuable．It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews．While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications, will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner．
When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible(實在的) to sell．Then you are ready to hunt for a job．Get all the possible information about your could-be job．Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm．Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment．Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now．
64．What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get”?
A．You’ll probably get what you want． B．You are supposed to be practical．
C．You should be dissatisfied with what you have． D．It’s essential to set a goal for yourself．
65．A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as ________．
A．a(chǎn)n example of how to write an application for a job
B．a(chǎn)n indication of how to secure a good job
C．a(chǎn) guideline for job seekers to succeed
D．a(chǎn) principle for job evaluation and description
66．According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because ______．
A．that is the first step to please the employer B．that is the requirement of the employer
C．it enables him to know when to sell his services D．it enables him to become clearly aware of himself
D
For many children the search for E.T. or life from another
planet may seem to be already over. What is it about this big-eyed creature
from outer space that has made
Today’s children, growing up alone in homes separated from other children, need fairy tales even more than those did at the time when the tales were first told. In E.T. they find a fairy tale with a special interest because it is set in the space age, which is closer to their situation than a story set in an old castle. E.T. may not be good-looking physically, but he is totally harmless, kind and charming. No child need fear an outer space filled with creatures like E.T. Actually, children often have a strong need for imaginary playmates.
For all children, the film raises the question of the need to grow up and the desire to stay a child. Elliott decides not to go with E.T. aboard the spaceship, where he could continue living in an imaginary world. As one child said, “Elliott stayed on Earth because he has to grow up and you can’t grow up on the faraway planet of Jupiter. You stay small and a kid like E.T.”
The film offers many ideas from the traditional fairy tale. Firstly, good children get the better of bad adults. Secondly, the hero is put in a difficult position in the early stages of the story but there is a happy ending when he is finally rescued. Thirdly, the film offers the idea of rebirth, which is found in many fairy tales. Finally, the story also reminds one of “The Three Feathers” by the well-known writers of fairy tales―the Grimm brothers. In this story, the youngest son wins his father’s kingdom by defeating his brothers with the help of an ugly old toad(癩蛤蟆). But to a final test, to bring back the most beautiful woman, he wins again by choosing the toad who turns into a beauty. Thus, it is love which turns even ugly things into something beautiful. It’s easy to see how that is true of E.T.
67. The story of E.T. tells people______.
A. how difficult the process of growing up can be
B. How parents should take good care of their lonely children
C. victory can be achieved if people face difficulties bravely
D. that children need playmates and fairy tales badly
68. One of the reasons children like E.T. is that______.
A. E.T. is a big-eyed good-looking creature B. the story is set in an old castle
C. it is an exciting, ancient fairy tale D. E.T. is likable, harmless and kind-hearted
69. Elliott did not go with E.T. on board the spaceship because_______.
A. he did not belong there B. he would look like E.T. there
C. he had to stay on earth and “grow up” D. E.T.’s home was an imaginary place that did not exist
70. The theme of “The Three Feathers” is _______.
A. love can turn ugly things into something beautiful B. good children get the better of bad adults
C. brave people can overcome all difficulties D. good people will finally enjoy a rebirth

The introduction of computerized information systems has greatly affected management control in many companies. Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales, billing, and other activities. In large companies, electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.
Before the widespread use of computers, managers could not make
full use of a large amount of
valuable information about a company's activities. The information either reached managers too late or was

第五部分 （書面表達）（One possible version）
In modern society, drugs are becoming a more and more serious problem in the world. The trade of drugs is widespread, which costs up to $800 billion every year.
As we all know, drugs do great harm to our health, even causing people to die at an early age. Meanwhile, it directly contributes to the happening of crimes. But to our sadness, more and more young people begin taking drugs.
As is shown on the chart above, 30% of the teenagers taking drugs are cheated into doing it, and 50% are driven by curiosity. Another 15% just seek excitements or try to get rid of their anxieties. The rest try it for some other reasons.
In order to protect us students from drugs, what should we do? I think, we should be careful to make friends and stay away from those who always behave badly. Also, it’s very important for us to lead a healthy lifestyle and hold positive attitudes towards life. Do remember that trying drugs out of curiosity is very dangerous.

What happened to me that day is just unbelievable. The first thing to go wrong is that all the parking spaces were taken. We had to park on the grass and hoped that we would not get a parking ticket. When I got to the admissions office, there was already a long line of students waiting. By the time it was my turn, two of the courses I needed were filled and I had to go back to my adviser and make out a whole new timetable. Although I did sign up for all my courses, I missed lunch. The next thing to go wrong is that the bookstore has sold out one of the required textbooks. As I was leaving, I wondered what else could possibly happen, then I saw a policeman standing beside my car and writing out a ticket.
