A friend and I had arranged to
spend a whole Sunday taking a long walk in the country. We set off on an early
train, each carrying a 41 bag filled with sandwiches, cakes, fruit
and bottles of lemonade. I 42 how two people would be able to finish it
all.
Soon we had left 43 the smoky air of the city and had reached
the country station where our 44 was to begin. We were 45 , because the sun was
shining and there was a gentle breeze to make it just right for walking.
We decided to go on a walk called
the Four Mile Square:
it has four 46 sides, each about four miles in length
and on a map looks like a rough square. It is 47 because each side passes through a
different kind of country.
We 48 in high spirits along the first
side, which 49 a river, planning to have a
swim and our first meal before we left it. Before long, we came to a gate near
which there was a(n)
50 “Beware(当心) of the Bull (公牛)”.We were very 51 . Our path ran through
this field, and, as it was a public footpath, the farmer had no 52 to put a dangerous animal in it. “Oh, but it’s all right,” my
friend said. “This bull is tied up. Come on.”
I followed, because I could see
for myself a strong rope 53 to the ring in its nose at one end and
round a large tree at the other. We felt very bold and walked nearer, 54 a red handkerchief just to show
that we weren’t afraid.
The bull began to walk towards us---and
did not stop. “He 55 to have a long rope.” I said, walking
more quickly. The bull too was walking more quickly. Then, at the same moment,
we both saw that the rope was broken, and without 56 we began to run.
We were halfway across the field
but it didn’t take us long to reach the gate again. We jumped over, very much
out of 57 , and looked back to see
the bull quietly 58 a bag of food. “That was a
clever 59 of mine, wasn’t it?” said my friend: “I
dropped the food on purpose to 60 away the bull’s attention.”
“No,” I cried,“it was not clever! I dropped
mine-----accidentally.”

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，并从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Children are turning
away from schoolwork because they see education as unhelpful to their ambition
to become rich and famous as reality TV stars, a teaching union declares today.
Their role models include David and
Victoria Beckham and WAGs――wives and girlfriends of highly
paid footballers――according to the Association of Teachers and Lecturers.
It has put forward a suggestion
for its annual conference this weekend saying that members are “terrified at
the extent of the decline in this country into the admiration of celebrity(名人）, which is perverting (扭曲) children’s ambitions and
expectations”. It adds: “This compounds the after sense of failure and low
self-respect when celebrity status is not achieved.”
The union asked 300 teachers
about whom their pupils modeled themselves on. More than half said David
Beckham. Victoria Beckham, the former Spice Girl and self-professed fashion
expert, was a role model for almost a third of girls.
Almost two thirds of teachers
said children they taught desired to be sports stars or pop singers. Many said
their pupils sought to be famous with no recognizable talent. A third of
teachers said that Paris Hilton, the heiress (继承人）of Hilton hotel, was a favorite role model.
Julie Gilligan, a primary school
teacher in Salford,
said that she had seen and heard pupils imitating the behavior and language of
footballers and pop stars in the playground and in school, “including disturbingly
age-inappropriate acts by young girls in school talent shows”.
Another member, Elizabeth Farrar,
who teaches in a primary school near Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, said: “Too many of the pupils believe
that academic success is unnecessary, because they will be able to access fame
and fortune quite easily through a reality TV show.”
Robert Sanders, a junior school
teacher in Bath,
said: “One girl said that she wished to be a WAG.”
Mary Bousted,
the general secretary of the association, said: “We are not surprised about the
spread of celebrity culture in schools――it reflects the current media obsession (着迷) with celebrity and
the effect of celebrity culture on society as a whole. Celebrities can have a
positive effect on pupils. They can raise pupils’ ambitions for the future.
“However, we are deeply concerned
that many pupils believe celebrity status is available to everyone. They do not
understand the hard work it takes to achieve such status and do not think it is
important to be actively engaged in schoolwork as education is not needed for a
celebrity status.”
61. Most
children think that _________.
A. it is easy to be celebrities B.
it is difficult to be celebrities
C. education is very important D.
Victoria Beckham is their role model
62. According to the members of
Association of Teachers and Lecturers, which of the following statements is NOT
true? .
A. Children they taught desired to be
sports stars or pop singers
B. Paris Hilton was a role model for
almost two thirds of girls.
C. Celebrities can
have a positive effect on pupils.
D. Many children desired to be sports
stars or pop singers.
63. The author wrote this article
_________.
A. to criticize the celebrities' negative effect on children
B. to discuss the proper way to build the children's right view of
value
C. to praise the effort made by Association of Teachers and
Lecturers
D. to show that children want to be famous and rich without good
education and hard work
64．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word
“compounds” in Para. 3?
A. enriches
B.
worsens C.
lightens D.
reduces

The Taj
Mahal(泰姬陵) is to open on moonlit evenings 20 years after security
fears ended night visits.
India’s Supreme Court will
allow the famous monument to love to open four nights a month, at the beginning
for three months.
The Taj,
built in the 1600s by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a shrine (神殿) for his wife, is a World Heritage site.
Only 400 visitors will be let in
each night, and parking limitations will be strictly controlled around the
marble mausoleum（陵墓）.
The Supreme Court announcement
came as state officials in Uttar Pradesh were celebrating the Taj’s 350th anniversary close to its site in the city of Agra.
State tourism minister Kaukab Hamid described the ruling
as "heartening".
"This reopening of the Taj for moonlight viewing is going to draw fantastic crowds
from across the globe," he said.
"We will ensure strict
security and follow visitor guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court."
Tourist chiefs said more than
300,000 foreigners visited the Taj Mahal site in 2003, but numbers are down since the terror
attacks in the US
on 11 September 2001.
Night visits to the Taj, once a romantic highlight of any visit to India, were
banned in 1984 for fear that militant（好战的）Sikhs battling the government would attack the shrine.
The Sikh insurgency (锡克教叛乱) ended in the
mid-1990s, but Indian authorities have remained unwilling to let visitors back
to the Taj after sunset.
During the height of tensions
between India and Pakistan in 2001, officials drew up plans to camouflage (伪装) the Taj
to hide it from possible Pakistani air attacks.
Shah Jahan
built the Taj Mahal as an
expression of love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Located on the banks of River Yamuna, the shrine is largely made of white marble that
reflects the changes of colour visible during sunset
and clear, moonlit nights.
It became a UNESCO World Heritage
site in 1983, meaning the Indian Supreme Court must rule on major works or
changes likely to influence the site.
69. Why were visitors
banned on visiting the Taj Mahal
in the evening 20 years ago?
A. Because the Indian government
feared that the increasing visitors would destroy it.
B. Because there were the terror attacks in the US.
C. Because the Indian authorities
were unwilling to let visitors visit at night.
D. Because the Indian authorities
were afraid their conflict with Sikhs would lead them to attack
the shrine.
70. What is the
attitude of State tourism minister Kaukab Hamid when he described the new rule?
A. disapproving B. uncertain C. cheerful D.
disappointing
71. Which of the
following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A. The Taj
Mahal will be open 48 nights a year.
B. The number of visitors at
night is strictly limited.
C. It’s the Indian Supreme Court
that is responsible for the security of the Taj.
D. The project of the Taj Mahal was completed 350 years
ago.
72. What would be the
best title for the text?
A. The reopening of the Taj Mahal B. The Taj Mahal--- moonlit viewing
again
C. The glorious history of the Taj Mahal D. The Taj Mahal--- A World Heritage Site
D
For most of us, dieting is an
annoying fact of life. With so much information available, it can be difficult
to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let’s start by taking a look
at some confusing myths (荒谬).
1. All calories are created equal
What you eat, not how much, is
the main factor behind weight gain. In fact, the body burns many more calories
digesting carbohydrates than it does digesting fat. For every 100 calories of
carbohydrates we consume in excess（超过） of our daily requirement, only 75 are turned into body
fat. But 97 of every 100 excess fat calories are turned into body fat.
2. Desserts and fast
foods are forbidden
Some experts advise against
describing foods as “good” and “bad.” Even cakes, pies, and ice cream can be
worked into a diet. Moderation is the key. Besides, a plain hamburger on a bun
is still a healthful choice. So is baked chicken or a green salad with low-cal
dressing. But watch out for French fries, and fried chicken or fish.
3. It makes no difference whether you’re top or
bottom-heavy
In fact, where weight is
distributed makes all the difference. Recent studies suggest that people who
store fat on the upper body (apple shape), rather than on hips and thighs (大腿) (pear shape), may have an
increased risk of heart disease. There is probably little you can do to change
how your body is genetically programmed to store fat. But you can lose excess
weight overall.
4. Fasting is the fastest diet
Some studies suggest that
suddenly reducing calorie intake puts the body into “starvation mode”, which
causes it to conserve calories and decreases the rate of digestion. The more
often you deprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing
calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually weaken your
weight-loss efforts.
5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat
According to studies, exercise
combined with dieting ensures weight loss better than dieting alone does.
Experts also agree that having regular, moderate exercise is more important
than occasional exercises. Researchers encourage patients to take the stairs
instead of the elevator and park the car far from where you are going and
walking.
6. It’s all your fault that you’re fat
Research at the University of Pennsylvania,
School of Medicine indicates that body shape and
size are in large part decided by a person’s genes. In short, some people are
naturally more likely to be fat than others. Moreover, someone who was fat in
childhood will have more fat cells than a person of average weight. Once made,
the cells may enlarge or shrink (缩小), but they never disappear.
Yet genes don’t have to control
your shape. The size of your fat cells depends on you --- on your eating habits
and lifestyle. Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let
good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.
73. Which of the
following statements is true?
A. All calories are created
equal.
B. You can decide whether fat
will be stored on your upper body or lower body.
C. While you are on a diet, never
eat desserts and fast food.
D. The size of fat cells is
decided by our eating habits and lifestyle.
74. Which of the
following statements is true about fat cells and genes?
A. Everyone has the same amount
of fat cells.
B. The size of fat cells is
fixed. They won’t become bigger or smaller.
C. Genes have nothing to do with
obesity.
D. Where you store your fat is
genetically decided.
75. The main reason
why the author writes this article is to _________.
A. give new ideas
B. correct certain
misunderstandings
C. encourage the readers to keep
fit D.
explain the concept of calories, fat cells, and genes
76. This article is
________.
A. descriptive B.
creative C. persuasive D. educative
E
In one of the strongest
indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing
collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly
higher risk of developing heart disease.
In a study of almost 3,000 men
and 5,000 women, depressed men were 70 percent more likely to develop coronary
(心脏的) heart disease than
those who weren't depressed. While depressed women were just 12 percent more
likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78
percent more likely. In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed
have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who
have high blood pressure.
The link works the other way
around, too: While about 1 in 20
American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps
to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack.
The more severe the depression,
the more dangerous it is to your health. But some studies suggest that even
mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many
years, may damage the heart. Other studies suggest depression may affect how
well heart disease medications work.
Researchers aren't sure what the
connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist. One is
that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves.
They're more likely to eat high-fat, high-calorie "comfort" foods,
less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle, there
is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease. Recent
studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of
heart-healthy Ω-3 fatty acids. People who are depressed also often have high
levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙). These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising
blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put
additional stress on coronary arteries (动脉) and prevent the body's natural healing mechanisms from
working properly.
A whole branch of medicine is
devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the
hormone system and so on. This science is gradually sorting out how the
mind-body connection affects us, or defense against heart disease.
Generally, an estimated 10
percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year.
Although available treatments can ease symptoms (症状) in more than 80 percent of people treated, less than half
of those with depression get the help they need.
77. Which of the
following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Depression―Heart Disease Risk
Factor B. Heart
Disease―Health Killer
C. Depression―Mental Health Enemy D. Heart
Disease―Depression Factor
78. Which statement is
NOT true according to the passage?
A. With high blood pressure,
depression is another potential risk to women’s health.
B. Depression, which is mild, can
possibly cause damage to your health.
C. Most people who experience
depression get treated as they should be.
D. Depression may have some
influence on the function of heart disease medication.
79. According to the passage, the
possible connections between heart disease and depression are the following
EXCEPT _________.
A. Depressed
ones tend to eat high fat and high-calories food, which leads to physical
damage to heart.
B. Severe heart disease may cause
people to feel hopeless and depressed.
C. Depression
may result in the lack of some kind of acids, which probably affects the
working of people’s heart.
D. People
with depression often have a high level of stress hormones, maybe, which will
put extra pressure on one’s heart.
80. We can infer from
the passage that _________.
A. More researches will be done
to find the certain links between heart disease and depression.
B. The
percentage of adults with depression is higher than that of depressed adults
with heart disease.
C. One’s life style has
relatively little relationship with one’s mental health.
D. Those with depression have a
higher risk of developing heart disease.
