It seems funny that we are crazy about things, with which we are 24 or about which we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 25 I, consider this one of lifes 26 .We need these
14、pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesnt amount to craziness 27 nonsense. As an old saying 28 , “Dont judge a book by its cover.” We should not judge 29 from its appearance. We should all know it is ones good character and great contribution that 30 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore
15、, wed better say 31 about Beckhams good looks. If we close our eyes, 32 into deep thought, we can find that the things that 33 us to be happy or sad 34 a clear meaning. If we dont go deeper and are just satisfied with superficial(表面的) things, 35 we will find that we have not really gained anything 3

21、 rate from certain diseases in any population.The main killers in North America, the degenerative diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become a way of death, not death, not life, in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health destroy
22、ing food chains.Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines ones health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries, blocking the blood supply to various or
23、gans. This causes diseases in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain.Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then
24、 cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.Certainly the fast food chains make lots of money, but who wa
25、nts to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people?Another reason Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily.How the Chinese could patronize these fas
26、t food places when Chinese cook such delectable food, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension.Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However, Chin
27、ese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do.These lessons in management and dcor are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the cont
28、ent of the food or the menus in any way, shape or form. Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.41. A diet high in animal foods and refined foods will cause diseases, in particula
29、r it damages _.A. the heart and brain B. the walls of arteries C. all organs D. the blood42. The reasons Western fast food restaurants make money are _.A. assembly lines that will not attract bugs or spoil easilyB. clean and tastefully decoratedC. good service and an inviting dining atmosphere D. al
30、l of the above43. What will be worth learning from the Western fast food chains? _.A. The content of the food B. The menusC. The lessons in management and decoration D. Shape or form of the food44. In the passage, the author thinks _.A. Chinese should learn everything from Western fast food restaura
31、ntsB. Chinese should say no to Western fast foodC. Western fast food are good D. Chinese food are badBIf you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a langu
32、age?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds
33、muscles.The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London(UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a
34、second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our fin
35、dings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and mat
36、hs skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a sec
37、ond language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.45. What does the underlined part “grey mat
38、ter” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Grey hair. B. Material of the brain.C. Intelligence. D. Difficult situations.46. The experience of learning a second language can _.A. change ones brain completelyB. improve ones maths skillsC. make one smarter than othersD. increase the ability to learn47. We can l
39、earn from the passage that _.A. the researchers from UCL did another study in ItalyB. a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a second languageC. the research done on the Italians showed a totally different resultD. it will be easier for one to travel around the worl
40、d by learning a second language48. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.B. You should learn a second language that is not your native language.C. If you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.D. The research do
41、ne by the researchers from UCL is very successful.CThe European capital cities, Berlin and London, running the third and the fourth richest economies in the world, both produce about a metric ton of rubbish for each household per year. But when it comes to disposing of their citizens waste, the comf
42、ortable similarities end. London, and Britain as a whole, is in the middle of a waste crisis. Today, the environment secretary, Margaret Beckett, is presiding over a waste summit to try to find out why the UK is not going to reach its 25% recycling and composting (转制成堆肥) target by 2005; currently, i
43、t is managing 11%.By comparison, Berlin and Germany know exactly where they are going. Although Berlin has been the capital for less than a decade, and has had east and west to unite, it has already reached 40% recycling. The city has one ambition: to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 years time
44、. So far, the city has not decided quite how, but it is developing new technologies and moving steadily in the right direction. London, by comparison, has a chaotic system. The 33 boroughs all have different recycling systems.Ken Livingstone, who since taking office as mayor has published a brand-ne
45、w waste management strategy for the capital, is responsible for sorting out this hotchpotch (杂烩). One of the most contentious (有争议的) issues both for London and Berlin is incineration (变化，毁灭) , with both cities burning a large proportion of their waste-London 20% and Berlin 32%.Here again Berlin has
46、made decisions and London is uncertain. Berlin has a state of the art incinerator in the 1970s and upgraded constantly until in the 1990s it is impossible to detect any emissions but warm gases. The city has abandoned plans to build another and instead wants to make the existing one redundant by red
47、ucing the waste so there is none to burn.London boroughs have plans to increase the size of the incinerator at Edmonton and there are plans to build more elsewhere. But Livingstone is resisting and the government is already rethinking its current energy from waste policy.Samantha Heath, the chairman
48、 of Greater London Authoritys environment committee, wants to invest in the market for recycled goods so there is somewhere for the material to go and a prospect of selling it, or at least disposing of it for less than the price of incineration or landfill.Ingolf Rank, spokesman for Berlins City Cle
49、aning company has some advice: “The first task is to get the public on your side.” Each household has to pay 40 pounds every three months to dispose of its rubbish. In future, the less they create, the more they recycle and compost, the less they will have to pay, he says.Each house in Berlin has a
50、series of different coloured bins for refuse so glass, paper and plastics can be separated for recycling. This allows 800, 000 tonnes of rubbish a year to be turned back into useful items.But Berlin has ideas that have not ever been heard of in London. For example, at this time of year, thousands of
51、 trees that line Berlins streets shed their leaves. Rather than put these leaves into general rubbish and add to the problems of disposal, they are collected up in large vacuum cleaners and turned into garden compost. Most of London has no composting service at all.Another system that stops material
52、 even being called rubbish is a collection service for second-hand furniture and electrical goods less than seven years old. Each offering is inspected, taken to a central shop, and sold at low cost to poorer people. It saves a lot of material being dumped.Not all goes according to plan in Berlin, h
53、owever. Rank says that people dump waste in the streets, like mattresses, old furniture or just general rubbish cost the city 2.8 million pounds a year.One problem the city has tried to solve but failed, is the excreta (排泄物) of 150 000 dogs. Rank says it is the owners responsibility to clean up afte
54、r their pets but police who tried to enforce the law were “sometimes bitten (by the dogs), insulted by the owners and even beaten up. As a result we still have to clean up 40 tonnes of droppings every day. Nobody is happy about that.”49. Which of the following is correct? A. By 2005, UK is going to
55、reach its 25% recycling and composting target.B. UK has survived a waste crisis already.C. Berlin has 33 boroughs with different recycling systems.D. Germans are ambitious to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 years time.50. Which is the main way for the two countries to deal with rubbish?A. To b
56、ury. B. To incinerate. C. To sell. D. To compost.51. Inferring from the passage, which of the following is the main factor for Germans abandoning the incineration system?A. Citizens protest. B. High opportunity cost.C. Air pollution. D. Less produced rubbish.52. What do people in Berlin do with the
57、fallen leaves? A. Landfill. B. Burning. C. Putting then into the dustbin. D. Turning them to fertilizer.53. The writer uses the _ as a figure of speech(修辞).A. Simile B. Metaphor C. contrast D. personificationDTwenty years are just a blink in time. But 20 years is also long enough for a man to grow u
58、p. It is always painful. For Andre Agassi, maturing in the spotlight of international tennis competition was even harder.On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable t
59、o keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.“The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesnt say is what Ive found, Agassi said to the fans. I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed. It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career. Agass
60、i hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel (叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colourful clothes and spat at a judge. Over
61、the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you.The turning point in Agassis career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大满贯赛事) at Wimbled
62、on. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of courage and not just power, its a marathon, not a sprint (短跑).And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin! He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he was ra
63、nked No.1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No.141. He didnt quit though. I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise, he said. That never stopped.54. The underlined phrase “more than ten yea
64、rs his junior” in the second paragraph means _.A. having lower ranking than Agassi for more than ten yearsB. having higher ranking than Agassi for more than ten yearsC. more than ten years older than AgassiD. more than ten years younger than Agassi55. The passage implies _.A. after 1997 Agassi began
65、 to take up marathon besides tennisB. Agassi began to play tennis before he was fifteenC. Agassi decided to quit his sports careerD. the reason Agassi lost his last competition was that he lacked courage56. The score of the match between Agassi and Becker is _.A. 0-2B. 0-3C. 1-3D. 2-3EIdeas about po
66、lite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to
67、 know people quickly. So its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where longterm relationships are more important. A Ma
68、laysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and
69、 formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer.Cross-cultural differences arent just a proble
70、m for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have “universalist” cultures. These societies
71、strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So
72、 the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much lug
73、gage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the checkin official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The checkin official explains that if he was allowed to have too much lugga
74、ge, it wouldnt be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers dont have his problem.57. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians _.A. like traveling betterB. easy to communicate withC. difficult to make
75、real friendsD. have a longterm relationship with their neighbors58. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _.A. who will tell them everything of their ownB. who want to do business with themC. they know quite wellD. who are good at talking59. Which of the following is true about “part
76、icularist societies”?A. There is no rule for people to obey.B. People obey the societys rules completely.C. No one obeys the societys rules though they have.D. The societys rules can be changed with different persons or situations.60. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German h
77、ave different ideas about rules because of different _.A. interestsB. habits and customsC. culturesD. ways of life第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余选项。（共五小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Do you mind if I sit here?
