Signs like that have a way of 36 small children, and 37 enough, a little boy appeared under the store owners sign. “ 38 are you going to sell the
17、puppies for?” he asked.The store owner replied, “ 39 from $30 to $ 50.”The little boy 40 in his pocket and pulled out some 41 . “I have $ 2.37,” he said“ 42 I please look at them?”The store owner 43 and whistled and out of the kennel（狗窝）came a lady, who ran down the aisle（过道）of his store 44 by five
18、puppies. One puppy was 45 . Immediately the little boy singled out the puppy and said, “Whats 46 with that little dog?”The store owner explained that the veterinarian（兽医）had 47 the little puppy and had discovered that it didnt have a hip socket. It would always walk slowly and with difficulty. It wo
19、uld always be lame. The little boy became 48 “Thats the little puppy that I want to buy.”The store owner said, “No, you dont want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, Ill just give him to you.”The little boy got quite upset. He looked 49 into the store owners eyes, pointing his finger and
20、 said, “I dont want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and Ill pay 50 price. In fact Ill give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month 51 I have him paid for.”The store owner answered, “You really dont want to buy this little dog. He is 52 going to be
21、able to jump and play with you like the other puppies.”To his surprise, the little boy reached 53 and rolled up his pant leg to show a badly twisted, crippled（残疾的）left leg 54 by a big metal brace（支架）.

We all use them, often without noticing what were doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said” Ill pen
26、cil it in my diary”, and my friend said” You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one! Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax, which is a shortening of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a book or document. We al
27、l got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately. So, nouns turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine lif
28、e without my daily emails. Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think Ill want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses
29、 and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC,but there I dont bookmark; I favoritecoming from” favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun. I wasnt really sure whether people said this, but someone told me recently that they had favorited a site I was
30、looking for and so they could easily give me its address. In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers（寻呼机）, and kept saying things like “Ill page you as soon as I know what time were meeting”. They couldnt say it to me,though;I refused to have one. So my children bought m
31、e a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message(either spoken or written)for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be befo
32、re I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I havent heard that verb yet, but Im sure I will soon. Perhaps III start using it myself!56.“I11 pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means_.A. it was a firm arrangement B.it was an uncertain arrangementC.the arrangement s
33、hould be written as a diary D.he prefers a pencil to a pen57.A website address can be easily found if it has been_on computer.A.emailed B.messaged C.favorited D.texted58.Which of the following nouns has not been used as a verb yet?A.message B.page C.email D.mobile59.The best title for this passage i
34、s_.A.New Verbs from Old Nouns B.The Development of the English LanguageC.New Technology and New Words D.Technology and LanguageB African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the worlds most powerful celebrity (名人), according to Forbes （福布斯） magazine. It placed Winfrey at the top of the annual r
35、anking of the 100 people with the biggest pull （影响力）. Winfrey, 51, draw 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries. She earned US 225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches. The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnin
36、gs. But it also looks at the celebritys presence on the Internet and in the media. “After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves,” the magazine said. Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. She can always attract the superstars and let them ope
37、n up to her intimate interviewing style. Winfreys approach appears to be simple. She is in a pursuit （追求）of self-improvement and self-empowerment. This has proved to be just what people, especially women, want. Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For ex
38、ample, she made it known that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight. Her success has not just been on the screen. Her media group includes a womens TV network and websites for women. Her work has extended to social change. In 1991, she did a l
39、ot of work for the National Child Protection Act. She testified before the US Senate to establish a national database （数据库）of dangerous child abusers. The then President Bill Clinton later signed the “Oprah Bill” into law.60. The annual Forbes list selects its celebrities according to _. A. their na
40、mes B. their annual earnings C. their presence on the Internet and in the media D. their annual earnings and presence in the public61. Which of the following statements is WRONG? A. Oprah Winfrey was the first of the 100 celebrities according to Forbes magazine. B. Oprahs success has been only on th
41、e screen. C. Oprah can attract superstars and get them to open up to her interview. D. Oprah ranked second in celebrity riches that year.62. The underlined phrase “rules the airwaves” in the passage means _. A. attracts many readers attention B. causes many people to take planes C. has a large numbe
42、r of viewers D. measures the airwaves63. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Oprah Winfrey Conquering the Americans. B. Oprah Winfreythe No 1 Celebrity. C. Forbes Ranking First. D. The Oprah Winfrey Show.C High school dropouts(辍学者)earn an average of $9,000 less per year than graduates.Now a new
43、study dispels a common belief why they quit.Its much more basic than flunking out(不及格). Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just cant cut it.They are lazy,and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they
44、 left. “The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.”John Bridgeland,the executive researcher said.About 1 million teens leave school each year.Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)students will receive a di
45、ploma(文凭，毕业证书),and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision.So,if failing grades dont explain why these kids quit,what does? Again,John Bridgeland:“The most dependable finding was that they were bored.”“They found classes uninteresting；they werent inspired or motivated.They didnt see any
46、direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives,or to their career aspirations.” The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit.In the US,only one state,New Mex
47、ico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate.Only four states:California, Tennessee,Texas and Utah,plus the District of Columbia,require school attendance until age 18,no exceptions.Jeffrey Garin,another researcher,says raising the compulsory(义务的)attendance age may be
48、 one way to keep more kids in school. “As these dropouts look back,they realize theyve made a mistake.And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and see it through to the end,is probably helpful measure.” New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attenda
49、nce age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the pointthe need for reform.Its been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a dipl
50、oma that actually means something.64.Most high school students drop out of school because_.A.they have failing grades B.they take no interest in classesC.they are discriminated against D.they are lazy and not intelligent65.According to the passage,which state has a law requiring school attendance un
51、til they graduate?A.New Hampshire B.UtahC.New Mexico D.The District of Columbia66.The underlined words“stick it out”probably means“_”.A.complete schooling B.solve the problemC.love having classes D.believe in themselves67.In tbe last paragraph,the writer is trying to_.A.analyze the reason why studen
52、ts quit schoolB.suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC.raise awareness of reforming high school educationD.wish to make laws to guarantee no dropouts68.From the passage,we can infer the following EXCEPT that_.A.the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB.about 500,000 high school
53、dropouts are black and SpanishC.classes dont appeal to dropoutsD.on average dropouts cannot get good jobsD Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they dont know is why fish are beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: fo
54、lks who replace red meat with fish are naturally cutting down their intake of saturated (饱和的) fat. But a growing body of evidence collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsa
55、turated fats. These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules (分子) that regulate blood pressure. Since our bodies cannot manufacture (produce) their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from
56、fish but also from plant sources like soybeans. The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week. But the A.H.As expert panel wasnt ready to declare that taking omega-3 pills will protect your heart. Its just too easy to get more omega-3 than yo
57、u need from pills, and the panel was worried that an excess (过量) could cause serious side effects, such as internal bleeding. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, allowed manufactures of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise the fats benefitsas long as the label does not suggest taking
58、 more than two grams per day. One thing is clear whether you get your omega-3s from pills, oils or fish: they are not cure-alls. You still have to eat a well-balanced diet thats lower in total fat than most Americans currently consume. Otherwise, youre fishing for trouble.69. Doctors have long been
59、puzzled by _.A. why red meat is harmful B. how beneficial fish are C. what makes fish healthful D. how red meat is replaced70. The A.H.A. didnt recommend omega-3 pills, because _. A. it had no knowledge of the safe dose of omega-3 B. it had no evidence that they can protect the heart C. the pills co
60、ntain too little omega-3 to be helpful D. one is likely to get too much omega-3 from the pills71. The FDA allowed manufacturers of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise omega-3s benefits on condition that _.A. their suggested dose (剂量) is printed on the labelB. their suggested dose is within the
61、safety limitC. the fats potential side effects are mentionedD. the products contain side effects are mentioned72. The writer seems to suggest that _. A. omega-3s can balance ones diet B. omega-3s can serve as a supplement C. an unbalanced diet is made worse by omega-3s D. a well-balanced diet contai

72、 a food poisoning incident. Several days ago, my neighbor family ate a bag of fake food from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and brought up what they had eaten as their faces turned pale. Fortunately, another neighbor passed by only to find the accident and immediately called the a
73、mbulance, which carried them quickly to hospital. After several hours treatment they finally escaped from death.From this all of us have realized the importance of food safety. As some illegal business men are only interested in making profits in the race to become rich quickly, they seldom care about the necessary safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers. They must be charged by law. Meanwhile I do hope the whole society shall begin taking actions to protect peoples life safety. Yours Li Hua
