         Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always
    tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even
    death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
         After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton,
    Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created
    diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over
    1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
        Jason Swencki's son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over, " says
    Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."
         Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States,
    with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
         These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and
    supplies to people-225 to date-who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fightit.org has raised about
    $ 23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival
    in the Caribbean.
         Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while
    still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into
    finding a cure, " says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only
    person I know saying people need help now."

    1. Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?
    A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.
    B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
    C. He has a positive attitude to this disease.
    D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.

    2. Diabeticrockstar.com was created for ________.
    A. diabetics to communicate
    B. volunteers to find jobs
    C. children to amuse themselves
    D. rock stars to share resources

    3. According to the text, Kody ________.
    A. feels lonely because of his illness
    B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
    C. helps create the online kid's forums
    D. writes children's stories online

    4. What can we learn about Fight It?
    A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
    B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
    C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
    D. It owns a wellknown medical website.

    　　Given that many people's moods(情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie& the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates．its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．

    　　If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates．

    　　The CRF's produce is "green"．made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean(豆)．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others．

    第三部分：阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
    The American book Who Moved My Cheese（奶酪） has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens（青少年）. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
    Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice（老鼠）, two“little people”and some cheese.
    The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
    After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
    56. The book Who Moved My Cheese is __________.
    A. written all over the world B. read across the world
    C. sold only in America D. loved only by teens
    57. What does the text mainly discuss?

    C. Change with the changes.  D. Pay attention to the changes.
    58. The underline word “four”（paragraph 3） refers to __________.
    A. Mice and little people       B. Students
    C. Cheese              D. Readers
    59. Which of the following statements is true?

    C. Most teens don't understand Chris' story.
    D. The book tells teens how to face changes in their lives.

        [1] When you get in your car,you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to
    have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
        [2] Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life:               .
    And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to bug it
    more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
        [3] The costs are becoming more and more evident,and I don't mean just the monthly bill.
    Dr. Chris Knippers,a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California,reports that the
    overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:
    a barrier to one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
        [4] Sounds extreme,but we've all witnessed the evidence:The person at a restaurant who talks on
    the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table；the woman who talks on the
    phone in the car, ignoring her husband；the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,
    avoiding contact with kids all around him.
        [5] Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction
    is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke
    University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their
    most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,e-mail and instant messaging,
    in other words,Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents."Just as
    more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have
    produced fewer friends    ."he says.
    1. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 3 words)

        the regular payment for the calls and messages.
                                                                                        

    3. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4? (no more than 5 words)
