第一节 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分。）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Health experts have long worried about the increasing rate of obesity in kids. It’s an important concern: Being weight or obese during childhood can lead to serious problems normally seen in adults, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Poor diets and a lack of exercise are usually the causes. But would you ever have imagined there might be a connection between the bacteria that lived in your guts （内脏）when you were a baby and the chance that you would become overweight?
Scientists in Finland recently found just such a link. In a recent study, they showed that overweight kids had different species of bacteria living in their guts.
You probably think of bacteria only as germs that can make you sick. While it’s true that some bacteria can make people ill, your body actually depends on some types of bacteria to help you digest food and extract nutrients from it. These “good” bacteria live in your guts, where they process the food you eat.
Human babies get these bacterial helpers from their moms. When a baby is born, some of the bacteria in the mother move into the baby’s body. Growing babies get additional “good” bacteria from the milk their mothers produce. And it turns out
- 10 -
the bacteria might play an important role in regulating weight just six years later.
So how could these bacteria affect weight? The researchers still haven’t tested that question, but future tests might lead to an answer.
21. The “link” in Paragraph 2 refers to the relationship between _______.
A. bacteria and the chance of being overweight B. obesity and diabetes
C. diets and the chance of being overweight D. bacteria and exercise
22. Which of the following is NOT the function of “good” bacteria?
A. Helping to digest food. B. Helping to take nutrients from food.
C. Helping to regulate weight. D. Making a person ill.
23. The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.
A. introduce the role of bacteria in children’s weight
B. analyze the influence of obesity on kids
C. give advice on how to lose weight quickly
D. explain the function of bacteria in foods
B
Experts believe that there are about 40,000 different types of jobs in the world. Choosing the right one is a difficult task.
“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job that they are not suited to do. “Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”. So here are a few steps to help you think about jobs.
First, it is important to recognize what kind of person you are and what special qualities make you different from everyone else.
The most important thing is to know your interests and skills. But the point is that there is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, it is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse rather than a big dog, that is a skill. The best job is one that uses your skills in doing something together with your interests. As well as this, it is an advantage if you believe that a particular job is worth doing in the world.
To examine your skills and abilities still further, ask yourself this question: in the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information or skills with things — which are your best skills?
After that, the next step is research. To find out as much as possible about different kinds of work, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. Ask your friends about the work they do. If you are interested in banking, it is better to talk to a bank clerk of twenty-four, rather than a bank manager of sixty-four. Do not ask your parents’ friends for information. A younger person will be able to describe a normal day at work and tell you about the interesting or boring things when you first start working.
Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.
24. The difference between “finding a job” and “choosing a job” is that _______.
A. finding a job is a decision while choosing a job is a chance
B. finding a job is more important than choosing a job
C. a job that you find is one that is more suitable for you than one that you choose
- 10 -
D. a job that you choose is your decision and is suitable for you while one that you find often isn’t
25. What is the first step to find a job that suits you well?
A. The first step is to completely know yourself and your special qualities which make you different from everyone else.
B. The first step is to find out as much as possible about different kinds of work.
C. The first step is to ask your friends to talk about the work they do.
D. The first step is to consider your parents’ advice.
26. You can do all the things to research for different kinds of work except for ______.
A. going to the library and referring to books
B. asking your friends to give you some information
C. asking for the advice of your parents’ friends
D. talking to a younger person who is at work for information
27. If you are interested in banking, you should talk to a bank clerk of twenty-four instead of a bank manager of sixty-four because_________.
A. a young bank clerk will be able to describe a special day at work
B. a young bank clerk is a full-time worker and can tell you about the interesting or boring things at work
C. it is easier to find a bank clerk than to find a bank manager
D. a young bank clerk is easier to get along with
C
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around
- 10 -
the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
28. We could see from the passage that the mouse was ______.
A. kind and warm-hearted B. well-informed
C. good at cheating others D. foolish and rude
29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The pig was comparatively less friendly than the others in the farmyard.
B. The mouse trap that the mouse discovered was not a practical one.
C. The farmer and his wife trapped an evil snake that night.
D. The farmer’s family was in fact poor and they had no friends.
30. The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.
A. the mouse B. the pig C. the snake D. the chicken
31. What can we learn from the story?
A. Better safe than sorry. B. Traps are usually well disguised.
C. To help others is just to save you. D. To keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all.
D
Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute? You won’t be long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.
In Shantzis’s Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.
The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the non-recyclables.
Sorting recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
32. The purpose in writing this text is ______.
A. to introduce a recycling system for high rises
B. to encourage people to recycle their rubbish
- 10 -
C. to describe the use of computer technology in recycling
D. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises
33. When he says, “You won’t be long.”, the writer means that ______.
A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner building
B. rubbish chutes will become out of date before long
C. it won’t be long before you have to recycle your rubbish
D. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish
34. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ______.
A. lock the other floors’ chute doors B. press the correct button
C. check if the container is full D. break up the rubbish
35. The biggest advantage of this new system is that ______.
A. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment
B. it saves time and space
C. it saves money for people living in high rises
D. it reduces the cost of recycling

根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy?
You think that you are making yourself happy. 36 I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy. I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us, so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations. 37 But if you are trying to realize other people’s dreams without keeping yourself satisfied, you will never be happy.
So you have to be clear and honest with yourself about what you want in your life. If you are honest with yourself, you will be more optimistic. 38 You feel like you won’t need to achieve something for someone else.
39__ They fear to be rejected(排斥) by others. They think and say “If I choose this job or career path, that person will think I am out of my mind”, or “I really want to start this business but those people will think that I won’t make any money”. 40 __ Don’t think this way. If you follow other people’s wishes but cannot be true to yourself, you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself.
A. The truth is that you are really trying to make someone else happy.
B. So why don’t I follow what they say？
C. And you will develop a drive from your heart.
D. So we should try our best to realize our dreams.
E. But we sometimes have to meet expectations from others.
F. Why do so many people want to live their dreams for someone else?
G. There is nothing wrong with that.

Even though a factory produces a large quantity of goods, it does not mean that it has to pump a lot of pollution into the environment.
I want to teach people 64 （buy）products that have been recycled, as well. This is much better for the environment, 65 it means we do not need to cut down as many trees. Companies and businesses can still operate, 66 the Earth will not have to suffer.
There is no debating that we also have a problem with population. The number of people in the world 67 (keep) growing, and we are producing more rubbish and 68 (use) up more raw materials. What if they run out? I am confident that if we are all 69 (will) to work together, we can overcome these challenges and keep the Earth clean and 70 (health).

Today, more and more high school students have his own blog on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide colorful platform to show their talents, and for another, it is also a way to release their pressure. And this make it popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold a same view, think that managing a blog will be a waste of time and energy, while this should be used for study which is their main duty.

Conflicts with others are common in everyday life. During the basketball game yesterday afternoon, Su Hua and Li Jiang bumped into each other, trying to catch the ball. Then they started shouting and yelling, and it turned into a horrible quarrel.
To be honest, it was Su’s fault but Li was also to blame—they were not calm enough and both said some really mean things. They cared too much about winning and losing. As a matter of fact, blocking, pushing and bumping are just part of a tough

game.
To avoid such conflicts, we should be kind to one another, which is essential to enjoy a harmonious life. It is also a virtue to forgive and forget, especially in such a competitive and stressful society. Instead of blaming each other, we should communicate more and put ourselves in others' place.
Don't be self-centered and try to be considerate. We must learn to handle conflicts calmly and wisely.
