A
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the
doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such
as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who
seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children
would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I
agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food
shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed
to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on
throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk
to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer
games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.
What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to
be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
56. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often take exercise. B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school.
57. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _________.
A. their parents often cook meals for them B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can’t choose what to eat D. there are too many fast food shops around
58. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _________.
A. forcing B. guiding C. driving D. moving
59. The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A. tell a story B. provide facts C. give advice D. compare opinions

As societies develop, their members start to see things not so much according to what they need, but
according to what they want. When people have enough money, these wants become demands.
Now, it’s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are
going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way at
supermarkets (超市), for example, is to interview (采访) customers while they’re doing their shopping.
They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This
provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. It’s also quite normal for top
managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely
with the public, as if they were ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.
Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food
restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their
meal for nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their
money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to
attract.
Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at
least one day in their work, touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This
provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being
noticed.
64. The text is designed for _________.
A. managers B. salesmen C. researchers D. customers
65. Which of the following can help managers get useful information?
A. Visiting customers themselves.
B. Giving customers free food on the street.
C. Visiting parks as ordinary customers.
D. Asking customers questions at supermarkets.
66. What does the word "this" underlined in the last sentence refer to?
A. Visiting Disneyland. B. Wearing attractive clothes.
C. Acting Mickey Mouse. D. Dressing up and walking around.
67. The main idea of the text is _________.
A. how to do market researchB. how to develop marketing strategies
C. how to find out customers’ social needs
D. how to encourage customers to spend more money

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not
very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take
drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at
the FineArtsMuseum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting
styles (风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about
artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians (古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and
then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not
interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange
long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no
clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called
Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the
mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn’t stop looking at this painting!
I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to
find a painter who could interest me so much.
68. The aim of the mother’s plan was to _________.
A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art
C. ask them to read about artists D. show them different painting styles
69. What was the writer’s experience in the museum before the last visit?
A. She came to feel her mother’s love. B. She liked many paintings.
C. She hardly enjoyed herself. D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.
70. What made the writer go through a change that summer?
A. One of Mary’s paintings. B. A strange way of painting.
C. Artists in the Middle Ages. D. Her mother’s instruction.
71. From the text, we can see _________.
A. the importance of curiosity B. the effect of art
C. the value of learning D. the power of family educationE
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong
signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.
For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with
people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before
they do any job. In many European countries---like the UK or France---people find it easier to build up a
lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had
expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable
silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I
realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly
through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.
We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes
decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite
against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环
境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
72. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _________.
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
73. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
74. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other’s languages.75. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences.
C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.

四、阅读理解 ( 本大题 共 5 题, 共计 40 分)A
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But
there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These
people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the
excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of
the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the
day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to
where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can
throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in
accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for
storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says
Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for
hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting
sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of
nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”
56. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .
A. head straight for the center of the storm B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop D. collect information about a coming storm
57. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A. not to drive in a heavy rain B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm D. to spend more time on it in summer
58. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
59. What can we learn from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
B
People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of
Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the
movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a
few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her
acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for
business reasons. When World war II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there
Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into
adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
(1966)
Taylor’s fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to
demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the
highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has
been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in
movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others—
several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and
education.
60. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she .
A. was small in size B. was too young
C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest
61. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both .
A. popular all their lives B. famous actresses
C. successful when very young D. rich and kind-hearted
62. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of .
A. 12 B. 28 C. 31 D. 34
63. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to .
A. doing business and helping others B. turning herself into a legend
C. collecting money for the poor D. going about research and education work
CLions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the
shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will
suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has
made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds
of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But
the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.
Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but
only ten kills. Roughly, It’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second.
The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of
their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.
Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at
a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces
with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.
64. By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions .
A. are cruel animals B. are clever animals
C. like to take advantage of other animals D. like to take every chance to eat
65. According to the text, which of the following is true?
A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.
B. Males care more about eating than active killing.
C. Lions are curious about things happening around them.
D. It doesn’t take lions too much time to make a kill.
66. How can we know that lions are social animals?
A. They depend on each other. B. They look after each other well.
C. They readily share what they have. D. They enjoy each other’s company.
67. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Powerful Lions B. Lions at Work and Play
C. Lions, Social Cats D. Lions, Skilled Hunters
D
To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented.
They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate forless than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and
planes to carry extinguishers.
Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these
things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material
below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out
a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.
Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the
fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.
A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a
fire, so that it can find no fuel.
The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in
three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually
help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.

A. Sand B. Water C. A blanket. D. An extinguisher.
69. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of .
A. separating the fire B. reducing the heat
C. removing the fuel D. cutting off the oxygen
70. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about .
A. when it breaks out B. how it comes about
C. what kind it is D. where it takes place
71. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

C. How fires break out. D. How fires can be prevented.

Childhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean
everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially
journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”
Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and
exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up
yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every
pain unbearable.As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks.
Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that
larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them,
sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost
catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
72. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. It was endless. B. It was unpleasant.
C. He is glad that it is over. D. He misses it as a grown-up
73. The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhood because .

books, but you are not permit to take them out. 85.（参考答案）
21 B动词+ing形式作状语，表示主动，即表示句子的主语所做的事，根据句意可判断我的表
兄弟给我带来了一满篮子水果，所以要用动词+ing形式作状语。
22 C当表示两者之中比较年轻的那个时，要用形容词比较级，并在比较级前加定冠词the。a
younger one表示在多于两个中的比较年轻的那个。
23 D That’s very kind of you.表示感谢. No, thanks.不，谢谢。That’s OK.那是没问题的。
You’re helpful.你真是帮了大忙了。
24 B remain意为“逗留(在某处)”。指继续待在或存在于某处，继续保持在某种状态。表示过
了午夜，还有三个年轻人逗留在茶馆。leave作不及物动词，意为“离开”，作及物动词，意为
“留下”，表示“某人留下”要用被动语态。delay意为“延迟，拖延，耽搁”。desert作动词表
示“丢开，抛弃”。
25 C occur意为“发生”，可指某事偶然发生或按计划进行，是一延续性动词。go along意为
“沿着（街）走”，是延续性动词，所以其主句用过去进行时，从句用一般过去时。
26 D beyond表示“超出”，指超出某种能力或范围。it’s beyond me意为“这我就不懂了”，
why引导主语从句，表示为什么，it作形式主语。这句话的意思是“为什么允许这样的事发生，
这我就不懂了。”for意为“对……来说”。behind意为“在……的后面”。against意为“反
对，敌对”。
27 D It’s hard to say.意为“这很难说。”根据所提供的情景We are getting into the rainy
season now.可判断出天是否会晴是一件很难说的事。Yes, it will.意为“是的，会的。”表示
同意对方的意见，与所提供的情景矛盾。Of course not.意为“当然天不会晴。”It’s possible.
意为“这有可能。”
28 A sound 意为“听起来”，是系动词，后接形容词，不与副词连用。interesting 和
interested均为interest的派生形容词，并均可用作定语和表语，但interesting意为“有趣
的”，指有趣味的、令人感兴趣的、能引起好奇心或求知欲，具有主动意义，既可修饰人，也可
修饰物。修饰人表示某人很有趣。interested意为“感兴趣”，指人被引起兴趣，具有被动意义
常修饰人，很少修饰物，常用于be interested in sth.结构，表示“对…感兴趣”。根据句意可
判断出汤姆听起来对这项工作感兴趣。
29 C that引导同位语从句，具体说明thought的内容。that只起连接作用，在从句中不担当
任何成分。if不用于同位语从句，表示“是否”要用whether。when引导同位语从句表示“当……的时候”，for my mother’s birthday已表明了时间，所以这是错误选项。which引导
同位语从句表示“哪一个”，在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语。
30 B what has been said about the Smiths是主语从句，表示单数，most的单复数由of后
的成分决定，所以这个句子的主语是单数。being和to be都是动词be的非谓语形式，所以都
不能作为答案。
31 B 以never开头的句子要进行倒装。即把情态动词放在主语前。never意为“从来没有，
一点也不”，只用于肯定句，不用于否定句。所以选项D是错误。
32 A either用作代词，意为“（两者之中）任一、任何一个”。根据所提供的情景You may drop
in or just give me a call.可判断出只有两种可能性，其中的任何一种都是可以的。each和all
都表示多于两个可能性，与提供的情景不相符合。neither意为“两者都不”。
33 A come down意为“下降”，所提供的情景Four dollars a pair?和to three fifty说明如果
买三双就会把价钱降下来。take down意为“写下，记下”。turn over意为“滚动，翻过来，营
业额为，周转，移交，翻阅”。go over意为“仔细检查，复习，重做”。
34 B address作动词的意思是“在……上写姓名住址”，addressed后接it，作直接宾语，代
替上文中的postcard。to后接herself，作间接宾语，表示把postcard寄给她自己。
35 C be to do sth表示“该做或不该做的事”，to blame作one的定语，表示该责备的人，其
逻辑宾语是one。动词+ed形式作定语表示被做的事，即表示被责备的人。动词+ing形式作
定语表示主动，即one责备别人。

状语从句。表示不必离开家。never意为“从来没有，一点也不”，只用于肯定句，不用于否定
句。因为without意为“没有；不”，表示否定，所以不与never连用。still意为“仍然”。once
意为“从前，曾经”，表示过去曾经发生的动作或存在的状态。39 C be tired of意为“厌倦，厌烦”，根据下文所提供的情景the crowds, waiting in long
lines可判断出有些购物者对百货公司和超市感到厌倦或厌烦。be proud of意为“为……而
感到骄傲”。be fond of意为“喜欢”。be careful of意为“对……小心翼翼”。

击，殴；碰，撞，攻击，冲击”。treat意为“对待，待遇；处置；处理”。stop意为“停止”。

商店购物并存。practise意为“实践；实施”。follow意为“跟着，跟随；接着，跟着发生”。

56 D 这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段最后一句“A storm chaser begins the day by
checking the Internet for the last weather reports”可以推断出storm chaser做的第一件事
是搜集天气信息。
57 B 这是一道细节推断题。根据“storm chasing is extremely dangerous”和“If you are a
beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm
season.”可知追逐风暴十分危险，初学者最后加入团队一起行动。
58 C 这是一道推理题。It is all worth it.的意思是一切都十分值得，虽然可能要等待很长时间，
但是“it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life”所以付出得到了回报。59 A这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段最后一句“Sometimes you can sit around for hours
waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers”可以
推断出有时风暴并不会来临，所以选A。其他三项在短文中都没有提到。
60 A 这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段第二句。“At first, the producers of the movie told
Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet.”这里的small是指身高而不是年龄，
因为剧组又等她长了3英寸才开始拍。所以选A.
61 C 这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins
first place in a famous horse race”和第二段“After her success as a child star”可以推断
两个都是很小就成名了。
62 B 这是一道细节推断题。根据“Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932.”和
“ Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress:
Butterfield8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1966)”可知第一次获得最佳演员是
1960年，28岁。
63 A 这是一道细节推断题。根据“Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her
businesses, and into helping others”可以知道她的后期生活主要在做生意和帮助他人，所
以选A.

much work”和“If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for
them selves.”可知狮子喜欢侵占其他动物的猎物。Opportunists的意思是“机会主义者”。

捕食能力差但是吃得好。
66 D 这是一道推理题。根据最后一句“an act of close ties among members of the group”
和最后一段描述的狮群的行动可以知道狮子很享受这种集体生活。
67 B 这是一道主旨题。这篇文章是讲狮子在猎食和生活中的特性，选项A过于抽象，不能表
现文中描述的要点，C和D都过于片面，只概括了其中一个部分，只有B比较全面和准确。
68 D 这是一道推理题。根据第一段最后一句“The law requires ships, trains buses and
planes to carry extinguishers”说明在公共汽车上有灭火器，公共汽车上着火应该用灭火器。
69 D 这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段“Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting
the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some otherthings”用脸盆盖上烧着的木头显然是截断氧气的方法。
70 C 这是一道细节推断题。根据“The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon
the type of fire.”可知要想判断用什么方法，首先要弄清着火的类型，所以选C.
71 A 这是一道推理题。最后一段描述了“Fires have been grouped in three classes.”然后
讲述了第一种，所以后面很可能描述另外两种。所以选A.
72 D 这是一道推理题。根据第三段最后一句“How can I regain childhood when it was an
illusion?”可以知道作者希望回到童年，说明他很怀念童年时光。
73 B 这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“especially journeys which seemed endless”说明
儿童充满了好奇。
74 A 这是一道细节推断题。根据“Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks.
Days go by unnoticed. ”味觉退化了，好奇变成了打击，日子过得飞快，说明作者对成年生活
很失望。
75 D这是个推理题。根据最后一段第一句“I have only one repeatable and wonderful way
and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world.”可知作者像小孩一样在台
阶上玩是为了重围童年的感觉。
76.√
77.wish-wishes此处wish是动词，修饰第三人称单数，而且是一般现在时，应该用wishes。
78.more-many as many books as，尽可能多的书，不用比较级，因此应将more改为many。
79.in-to limit to是固定搭配，意思是“限制，限定”。
80.as-that so as是副词，意思是“只要”。so that，连词，引导结果状语从句，表示“所以，因
此……”。
81.it-them 从这句话前半句来看，finish的宾语是books，是复数。应该用them指代。
82.在it前加for ask表示直接询问，ask for的意思是找寻。
83.that-where 此处是where引导非限定性定语从句，修饰reading-room，where在从句中
作地点状语。
84.去掉the other中的the此处的书并不表示特指，因此去掉the。
85.permit-permitted 被允许，应该用过去分词permitted来表示。
