    61.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 are surrounded 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.
    Many universities are providing more financial (财政上的) aid for their students. 62.If there were few 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, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops.
    There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. 63. 他们一回家就是坐在电视机前或电脑前玩电脑游戏。64. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣)， it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. 65.他们所需要的是走出去并进行运动。 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.

    　　   This is really a very fast game, the fastest I have seen so far this year. Both sides are fighting for the ball all the time. The crowd love every minute of it. They are shouting at the top of their voices.
    　　 Willis has the ball now. This is only his third game for Scotland, but
    he            that it won’t be his last, I’m quite sure.
    　　   Willis passes the ball to Cotton. Cotton kicks it over the heads of the waiting Frenchmen, towards the goalmouth. But he’s too far away, Dupond picks it up easily, and throws it to Patou, out on the left.
    　　   France and Scotland still have one goal each, and there are only two minutes left of the game. But during that time, anything can happen. Patou kicks the ball across to Crozat. It’s a beautiful kick, but Steven jumps and just stops the ball with the side of his head. But Meunier is there, he passes to Crozat, and Crozat, without waiting a second, puts the ball into the back of the goal. It takes everybody by surprise. I’ve never seen a goal like it.
    71. Why does the crowd enjoy every minute of the game?
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    72. Why cannot Cotton kick the ball into the goalmouth?
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    73. Who are in the same team with Crozat?

    About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college. I was working as a practice student at my University's Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
    As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of set on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and main body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots.
    As the couple wheeled her up to me, I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest(可爱的), largest smile I have ever seen.
    All of a sudden her handicap (残疾)was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and  gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world--- a world of smiles, love and warmth.

    The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
    Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for million of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
    All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends our brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small，often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
    The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. ( An electric house current is only one hundred and twenty volts, but two hundred and twenty volts in China.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to length of its body
    56. Electricity was invented ______.
    A. when man had no candles                  
    B. about 200 years ago
    C. to be operating computers.                          
    D. by Thomse Edison
    57. The following things can send out pulses of electricity except______.
    A. electric eels and human hearts.
    B. Electrical generators and animal muscle.
    C. Stones and dry wood.
    D. human brain and living cells.
    58. The electric current send out by an eel can be
    A. as much as 800 volts.                   B. about one hundred and twenty volts.
    C. as high as the house current in China.      D. stored in the water where it lives.
    59. From this shot passage we can infer _____.
    A. the shorter an eel is, the stronger electricity it produces.
    B. we can always feel the electricity produced by living cells.
    C. human beings get their knowledge about electricity from nature.
    D. people learn about electricity from eels.

    Dear Cary,
    I’m writing because I’ve understood you’ve struggled with alcoholism(酗酒)．I’ve been fighting mine ever since I went through 9-11．After that，I’ve been more or less useless professionally –I’m a lawyer–and have had to resign from my job because I was discovered passed-out drunk in front of my computer.I’ve taken some medicine and it has helped somewhat.I can manage about a month without drinking，but after that I end up having a crazy stage where nothing matters except drinking．After a week or so of heavy drinking，I start having nightmares of people jumping.After that，it’s a week of not being able to get out of bed.
    I was supposed to travel to a conference but didn’t make it because I got so drunk at the airport that I fell down on my face and spent the rest of the day in the emergency room. I have been hiding from my family since then．Fortunately they won’t be expecting me to come back for a week or so.Otherwise, they would notice the bump on my forehead and two black eyes．
    I don’t really know what I’m asking you．Cary,I need a way out that doesn’t involve causing pain to my family．I’m taking medicine，but I still have these attacks every few months．If there’s alcohol in the house，I can’t stay away from it．It seems that this will never end. I’m afraid of what  will happen if something bad happens，like a family member dying,or getting fired again．
    Thanks for reading．
    Yours

    .
    Many parents find that their children act very mean to their friends. They wonder what they can do about this behavior without squashing their spirit. Here is what parenting experts explain and suggest:
    Pre-schoolers have no idea how others feel. They are in the process of understanding their own feelings and have not yet developed “emotional intelligence”. Children of this age also do things just because it can make them feel powerful when they are able to make others respond.
    Here are some things you can do to reduce the mean talk: When the child’s in a good mood, look her in the eyes and lovingly tell her how you feel when she speaks in a mean way to another child. Have a look of disappointment on your face and role-play with her to show her the behavior you would like to see. Then, every time you see her demonstrating the “nice” interaction with others, stop what you’re doing, give her eyes contact and make a big deal out of it. Young children need to know what good behavior looks like with regular encouragement. When you catch her being mean to a child, get down on your knees next to her, and, with your arm around her, face the child that is receiving her meanness, and apologize to the child for both of you, then walk away. As soon as the other child is away, let your daughter know how disappointed you are in her behavior and quickly let it go.
    Parents should set up a consequence when this negative behavior occurs. You can give these other ideas a try first. If you’re not seeing any results after a few times, then go ahead and set up the consequence（such as not being able to play with that child). Avoid using “time out” because it doesn’t work. It gives the child too much power and too much attention. The most effective consequences are those that are directly tied to the behavior. If she is being mean to children, then the play session ends. And most importantly, set up this consequence in advance when the negative behavior is NOT occurring.
    If you should catch her being a “bully” to another child, and she has somehow hurt him or her, immediately put all your attention on the victim, not her. Don’t scold or punish your daughter. Softly, gently, and immediately, nurture the hurt child and get your daughter to assist you in the nurturing. When things have calmed down, let her know face to face how disappointed you are in her behavior, not her as a child.
    65. When a child talks mean to his friend, the best way to correct it is to___________.
    A. tell him directly that it is a wrong doing   
    B. demonstrate what a good behavior is
    C. make him apologize to his friend
    D. ask his friend not to play with him anymore
    66. The underlined phrase “make a big deal out of it ” in paragraph 2 probably
    Means_____________.
    A. show some disappointment B. say a few words of praise
    C. exchange gifts with the child      D. present a surprised look
    67. When dealing with a child’s mean action, you shouldn’t___________.
    A. punish her in the presence of her friend.   
    B. put on a disappointed look on your face
    C. tell her that you are unhappy to see that   
    D. nurture the hurt child immediately
    68. The passage is mainly about how to___________
    A. bring up children                     
    B. solve pre-school children’s problems
    C. help children make friends             
    D. guide children when bad behaviors occur

    第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    Most painters discover a style(风格) of painting that suits them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.
    Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft coloured and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath(在…之下) the surface of the things we see.
    Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.
    56. In the passage the writer wants to tell us _________.
    A. about some pictures which have different styles
    B. about Picasso's style of painting
    C. it is not easy for a painter to find his own style
    D. that Picasso had not found his own particular style
    57. The ugly, cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _________.
    A. make us try to notice something latent(潜在的) in the things
    B. allow us to ask questions about them
    C. force us to question anything we see
    D. cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
    58. The sentence“sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _________.
    A. sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
    B. he broke something he was painting and threw them away
    C. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
    D. things in some of his pictures seemed to be in disorder
    59. Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”?
    A. Because he looked young when he was old.
    B. Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.
    C. Because he never stopped painting even when he was old.
    D. Because he never gave up looking for something new.
    60. What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picasso's paintings?
    A. He doesn't understand some of them.
    B. He thinks some of them are valuable, some are not.
    C. He admires them, including the ugly ones.
    D. He doesn't like some of them, but he admires the painter.
