B. is helpful for health

C. can make people lose weight

D. is poisonous and dangerous to health

B

Good health is the most precious thing in the world .When you have got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it , you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation.(刺激) Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.

All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying: “It’s all very well for him to talk, but I

pressures that I can’t manage without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. S o be your own best friend .

60.In the writer’s view, the most precious thing in the world is ________.

A. time

B. work

C. friendship

D. good health

61.This passage is mainly about _________.

A. terrible diseases

B. pleasures after a busy day

C. the danger of too much drinking, smoking and eating

D .the difficulty of controlling ourselves

62. “I can’t help myself” means _________.

A. I can’t do it myself

B. I must ask someone for help

C. I can’t control myself

D. Do help me , please

63.Which of the following expresses the writer’s advice?

A. Have a drink after a busy day.

B. Have a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

C. Eat as much rich food as you can.

D. Be your own best friend and control yourself

C

A person who is deaf when he is born is usually dumb (哑的) as well. There may be nothing wrong with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has nothing to imitate (模仿). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However, even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these when Helen Keller was born.

Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak, though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult, though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months. Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn’t speak by the age of six.

Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind. She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself. At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf, dumb and blind. Her best book is The Story of My Life. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller.

64. A person who is deaf at birth is also dumb because ___.

A. there’s something wrong with his mouth and tongue

B. he cannot hear other people and he has nothing to imitate

C. he doesn’t like to speak

D. he cannot hear his own voice

65. Deaf and dumb children can be taught to speak nowadays because ________.

A. we have modern methods and equipment

C. they can hear something

D. they have grown up

66. When Helen was nineteen months old, _______.

A. she died of illness

B. she was healthy

C. she was very ill

D. she began to learn to speak

67. How long did it take Keller to understand signs?

A. A few days.

B. Several years.

C. A moment.

D. A month.

D

You’ve probably heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it?

The Internet is a computer network that uses the telephone system to connect together millions of computers around the world.

Maybe that isn’t very exciting but once you’re connected to the Internet, there are lots and lots of different thi ngs you can do. You can send electronic messages or “e-mails” to your friends (as long as they’re on the Internet, too), or you can sort through all kinds of information on something called the World Wide Web.

You don’t need to know how the Internet works in order to use it, but if you understand the basics, it may help you work out any technical problems you have — and of course you can help your friends with your knowledge!

You may think that your telephone is just for talking. But as long as you have the equipment (设备), you can use a telephone line to send computer data (数据) as well as sounds. If you connect your computer with the telephone system, it can receive information from and to other computers (as long as they are connected with the telephone system, too).

Because there is not an organization which operates the Internet, no one exactly knows how many people are connected to it. It’s thought that there could be 60 million people on the Net, connected up to over 15 million computers!

68. If you want to link your PC with the Internet, you need, first of all, to ________.

A. learn how to operate a computer

B. know how to make a telephone call

C. have a telephone

D. learn how to type on a computer

69. You can keep in touch with your friends by e-mail. The condition is that _______.

A. they also have their own telephones

B. they also have their own computers

C. you have already known their telephone numbers

D. they are also connected to the Internet

70. According to the writer, it’s better to _______.

A. know how to work out technical problems besides using the Internet

B. use the Internet besides working out technical problems

C. sort through all kinds of information on the World Wide Web

D. help your friends connect their PCs with the Internet

第四部分（共三节，满分4５分）

（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

A good study environment is as important as the studying itself. Here are a few suggestions that will help you in making a good study environment for yourself. Take care of these, and you will find that you are doing better by the day.

71

Pick a suitably quiet place, not necessarily where you can hear a pin drop, but not where you have people screaming all around you, either. At the same time , if too much quietness makes you feel lonely, then you may try playing some soft music in the background.

72

Think of all the related materials that you may require, and gather them beforehand. It’s OK if you end up not using a few of the books. Get a fruit or some snacks that will keep you comfortably full, without being too heavy on your tummy. (胃)

Lighting is very important.

You must have a reasonable amount of lighting that will let you read properly, without putting stress on your eyes, or making them burn and water after a while. 73 And at night, make sure that you have a light that shines brightly on the book that you are reading.

Know your limits.

Don’t compare yourself with your friend. Seriously, this is not a competition to see who studies more in a day. You are you, and you are not your friend. 74 Stop asking your friend constantly how much he has finished, or telling him how much you have done.

Study smartly instead of studying hard.

75 Read important points, and highlight important sentences. Use techniques like mind mapping, logical linking of points, or short forms to remember long lists. This will increase the speed of your studying, and help you in getting more done in less time.

A.Select a quiet place.

B.The effect will be the same.

C.He has his limits, and you have yours.

D.Get all your stuff together before you start.

E.Get a nice and comfortable chair for yourself.

F.Try picking a place by the window during the daytime.

G.Reading through the entire text like it’s a novel is pointless.

作文范文

How often should students be tested? A recent survey shows that many teachers give students exams once every few weeks----sometimes even once a week . Some students think that there are many advantages in having frequent exams, believing that exams help them know how they’re getting on with their studies. Thus, they can improve their study method and make greater progress. However, other students complain that exams break up learning rather than encourage it if they are set too often. This is particularly true if they are given to the class in a nervous and formal atmosphere. As a result, some of them may lose interest in studies. Moreover, students will have no time to have sports or develop their own interests if they have to be busy making preparations for one exam after another.
