The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”, with protests being ou
27、tside Parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press. Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4,000 planters and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response. “We are trying to get rid of the image th
28、at potatoes are bad for you,” she said on Monday. “The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionarys fault but we want to use another term instead of “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.” The OED says that “couch potato” began as American
29、 slang, meaning “a person who spends his or her leisure time sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.” The Potato Council says its campaign is backed by dieticians (饮食学家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C. Supporting the campaign, famous cook Antony Worr
30、all Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britains favorite foods.“Not only are they healthy, they are also convenient and yummy (美味). Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included t
31、he term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses.”Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words in 20 volumes. But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for n
32、ewer ones. “If society stops using words then they get taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added.The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in an article in Los Angeles Times, in 1979, Simpson said. Nigel Evans, a member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire
33、, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.56British potato farmers wanted to _.Aadvertise their producesBcall for a higher price for their potatoesCremove the expression “couch potato” from the dictionaryDlet people know how important th

AIt is connected with unfavorable meaning.BPotato should be used in the expression.CIt is borrowed from America English.DIt refers to a kind of person.BThe vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. It is o
37、nly when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say that when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provisions to supply the missing vitamins. An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as beri-beri, which used to make large numbers o
38、f Eastern people who lived mainly on rice suffer. In the early years of last century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted by a germ (病菌) . He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished
39、rice which had had the outer coverings removed from the grain, it was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest. Eijkman thought his germ theory was proved when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on remains from the patients plates, were also showing s
40、igns of the disease. He then tried to separate the germ, which he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ordered that the rice without coverings, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the
41、 patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap, rough rice with the outer coverings still on the grain. Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unmilled rice (糙米) somehow prevented or cured beri-beri-even that a lack of
42、 some ingredient (成分) in the coverings may be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards separated from rice coverings and is now known as vitamin B. The milled rice, though more expensive, was in fact causing the disease the ho
43、spital was trying to cure. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.60.What does the underlined word restricted mean? A. balanced B. limited C. diverse D. complex61.According to the passage, a good mixed diet . A. is suitable for losing weight B. should
44、 be only fruits and vegetables C. normally contains enough vitamins D. is often difficult to arrange62.What do we know about the disease beri-beri? A. It killed large numbers of people. B. It resulted from lack of vitamins. C. It was transmitted by milled rice. D. It was caused by diseased chickens.
45、63 .What can be the best title of the passage? A. A Good Mixed Diet B. The Importance of Unmilled Rice C. The Dangers of Beri-beri D. The Importance of VitaminsCDisease, poverty, hate, loveCharles Dickens stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years on,
46、his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens legacy（遗产） was far greater that just “great-literature”.February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writers birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Lets take a look a
47、t two of them.A White ChristmasDickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas” not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. Th
48、e committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Dayunthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.Many people believe that Dickens popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprin
49、t for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth“home enjoyments, affections and hopes”.In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “Dickens can be said to have almost single-
50、handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”“Dickens” povertyDickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London.He helped popularize the term “red tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy(官僚作风) in a
51、way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain,
52、she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”, but rather described it as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”.64. The article is mainly about .A. a brief introduction to Charles DickensB. Charles Dickens impact on the worldC. the characters in Charles Dickens storiesD. Charles Dickens achiev
53、ements in literature 65. Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”?A. Because he created both religious and culture festival.B. Because his novels have something to do with Christmas.C. Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.D. Because he was the first man to h
54、ave proposed celebrating Christmas.66. Wecanlearnfromthepassagethat .A. Charles Dickens novels reflect the true life at his age B. Dickensian is widely used to describe the Christmas C. Every person can take three days off for Christmas D. The theme of Charles Dickens stories is about poverty67. Acc
55、ording to the passage the phrase “red tape” refers to .A. regulations that are required to finish a task B. a situation where poor members of society are hurt C. conflict between people in power and weaker peopleD. agreements made by the underclass of societyDSydney J. Harris accompanied his friend
56、George to his favorite newsstand. George greeted the man selling the newspapers politely, but in return he received rude service. He just acknowledged his customer and never even looked up at him when he requested the late night edition. Accepting the newspaper, George politely smiled and wished the
57、 newsman a pleasant weekend. The owner made an indiscernible(难识别的) sound and seemed relieved that the two men had completed their dealing.As the two friends walked down the street, Sydney J. Harris asked, “Does he always treat you so rudely?” “Yes, unfortunately, he does,” George responded. “And are
58、 you always so kind and friendly to him?” “Yes, I am!” George continued as they turned a corner. “Why are you so nice when hes so unfriendly to you?” With a look of deep thought, George explained, “Because I dont want him to decide how Im going to act.”Who decides how youre going to act? Is it your
59、circumstances(环境) or the difficult people in your life that determine your responses? When we allow our conflicts to control us, we behave as though getting rid of our predicaments (处境) is our only choice. Therefore, it doesnt really matter how we treat one another. For example, we say, “This person
60、 is causing trouble right now so I dont care about exercising patience, self-control, and loving kindness. Instead, I want to let them know how angry Im because of their actions.”We forget our acts will eventually die down. But the way we handle conflicts will influence our lives for a long time. Wi
61、ll you only respond to the momentary crisis(瞬间危机) or will you be more concerned about the lasting value of what kind of person you are becoming?68What surprised Sydney J. Harris most?AGeorge greeted rude people politely.BThe newspaper-seller was too rude.CGeorge greeted others politely.DGeorge bough

64、e. Scientists presented some of their findings at a recent conference as the project neared its completion.In deep icy waters under Antarctica, scientists found bulbous tunicates, an underground animal, and many newly-discovered creatures believed to be related to starfish (海星) and other marine(海洋的）
65、creatures.Elsewhere in the worlds oceans, they have recently discovered many kinds of underwater life forms new to science. It is all part of a research effort called the Census of Marine Life.“There are about 2,000 scientists worldwide involved, ” said Bob Gagosian, President/ CEO of the Consortium
66、 for Ocean Leadership. Gagosian helps manage the project. “Everywhere theyve gone theyve found new things, ” he says. “The ocean basically is unexplored from the point of view of marine living things.”Researchers have placed small markers on hundreds of fish and marine animals to track by satellite
67、their migration(迁移）routes and to discover places where sea life gathers.According to Ron ODor, a senior scientist with the Census of Marine Life, knowledge of life on the ocean floor is especially limited. “90% of all the information we have is from the top hundred meters of the ocean,” ODor states.
68、And he says the sea floor is, on average, at a depth of 4, 000 meters. And so, as some machines dive far below what people have previously seen, scientists are discovering new species of plants, animals and living things.Since the census project began, more than 5,300 new marine animals have been fo
69、und. Ocean researchers say they hope to catalogue 230,000 species during the census which some say is only a small part of all the creatures living in the sea.72Why do the researchers place small markers on many marine creatures?ATo catch them.BTo research them. CTo kill them. DTo protect them.73Fro
70、m what Ron ODor says, we can conclude that .Ahuman beings only know a little about marine lifeBthe oceans dont need to be further exploredChe considers exploring the ocean a dangerous thingDthe marine creatures mainly live on the top of the ocean74What can we learn from the passage?AAbout 2,000 scie
71、ntists from America are involved in the project.BThe census of sea life last for ten years.C230,000 new marine animals have been found.DThe sea floor is at a depth of 400 meters.75Why does the author write the passage?ATo tell the news that new marine creatures are being discoveredBTo encourage peop

It makes us wonder
73、 if scientists can send a man to the moon, why cant they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isnt a cure for each one.When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard
74、to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you cant breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus
75、 from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make them
76、selves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.There is one interesting thing to note some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because you
77、r body doesnt have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:It takes about one week to get over a cold if you dont take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if y
