A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)

People usually imagine they are much more likely to win the lottery(彩票) than they really are. The American lottery is promoted(促销) with the phrase ( 短语) "It could be you", which, of course, is technically true. To tell the whole truth it should be read: "It could be you, but it almost certainly won't be."

Recently thousands of people began pouring into(涌入) Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history. More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing (抽奖) . Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn't affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.

Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they'll probably never have.

But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling. Some critics(评论家) note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts (入迷的人) who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them get rid of the habit.

Politicians (政治家) like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes(税收).The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for the old people. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶习) under the name of social progress. Whether you regard stock lotteries fight or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.

69. There is ______ chance to win the lottery for most of the people.

A) never a B) little C) a big D) a good

70. People who bought lottery tickets had to choose ______ numbers from one to eighty.

A) phone B) postal C) seven D) lucky

71. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling ______.

A) $1.62 million B) $1.82 million C) $ 9.6 million D) $ 87 million

72. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should ______.

A) join a support group B) get rid of the habit

C) win the lottery D) save every cent

73. The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A) lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys ~them

B) playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market

C) many people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement

D) lotteries are nothing but legalized vice

74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A) Politicians don't like lotteries because they like to pay extra taxes.

B) The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.

C) Some critics don't like lotteries because many poor people waste money on them.

D) People love the lottery because it is a stock market.

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完

A new transportation device called the Segway(平衡车)was reported to have been 75 use for quite a while. Its inventor called it the world's first self-balancing individual transport vehicle for short distance travel.

The Segway looks like a large stick with two wheels. The wheels are 76 to a platform(站板). The stick has handles for a person to hold. The person stands on the platform and holds the handles. The transporter moves forward or backward when the person moves his or her body in that 77 . The driver turns the handles to go left or fight.

Computers and certain devices on the Segway make the vehicle move and balance. It is powered by batteries that are recharged (充电) with electric power. It can travel at a speed of 19 kilometers an hour.

Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway says it was meant to reduce pollution and solve

other environmental problems in cities. A Segway costs about five thousand dollars. People who have bought Segways say they are 78 useful though quite costly(昂贵的). But they can use the Segways instead of their cars for short trips, and it is a great way to save money on gasoline (汽油) . The Segway also makes it 79 for people who have trouble walking because of medical problems to move around.

Segways are being used in more than twelve American airports. Security officers say they are able to move quickly on the devices in emergency situations. People on vacation are also learning to use Segways. Segway tours are popular in several American cities including Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington D. C. Tour company officials say it takes from ten to thirty minutes to teach people how to 80 a Segway. Then the group uses them to move around the city.

Origami (日式折纸手工) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century. It has d 81 into a modern art form since then. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into various things t 82 folding techniques. In general, origami begins with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. Many people enjoy making origami flowers, animals, or toys. For all of these things, there are a few kinds of folds that you need to use. For example, sometimes you need to fold the paper in

h 83 . Another common way is to fold the paper from corner to comer, or you may need to fold the tips of each corner. If you follow the directions carefully, you can create a beautiful paper flower, animal, or toy. But origami is much more than folding paper. It is a reflection (反映) of nature and Japanese life. That is why the most popular origami shapes are things like animals. Birds, fish, flowers, and stars are all popular shapes. The best known origami m 84 is probably the Japanese paper crane (纸鹤). The crane is auspicious (吉祥) in the Japanese culture. Legend (传说) says that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will have their heart's desire come true. The origami crane has become a symbol of peace because of this legend.

Origami is also good for your mind. It is a peaceful activity that can relax the mind and body. People who do origami like the activity as much as the art. They like it because origami demands a lot of attention. When people think hard about c 85 something, they forget about their problems. This allows them to calm down. Origami is also good for teaching children. Origami has many steps. Children must follow these steps c 86 . They may learn something about maths. For example, origami has squares, rectangles(矩形), and triangles(三角形). These shapes are important in maths. Origami helps children get f 87 with these shapes.

Maybe you can try to do origami yourself. You only need some paper and a book of instructions. You can also find instructions for folding origami shapes on the Internet. D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

There are spicy food lovers all around the world. A lot of people desire to have spicy foods in their daily life. In China, we love hot peppers (辣椒) , fiery-hot chicken wings and we put spicy

seasonings (调味品) on top of just about everything. Thankfully, spicy foods are generally good for us. They do more than add flavor(调味) to your favourite meals.

Spicy foods are good for your heart. People who regularly eat foods rich in spice are less likely to experience a heart attack or stroke (中风). Chili peppers (红辣椒) provides three times more vitamin C than oranges. The unique chili pepper heat comes from a component called capsaicin (辣椒素) which helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduces inflammation (炎症) . Spicy foods also help prevent cancer. Capsaicin has been found to kill some cancer cells, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Turmeric (姜黄), which is the main spice in curry, has been shown to help slow down the spread of certain cancer cells.

Spicy foods can even help you lose weight. After eating something spicy, you burn more calories than if you were to have eaten something bland (清淡). Also, studies show that spicy foods leave you feeling more satisfied than their non-spicy eaters. This means you're more likely to stick to your diet and not Overeat. Try adding some hot sauce to your next meal and see if you notice a difference.

Spicy foods also have other benefits. They can lighten your mood, making you feel happier. In addition, they can fight symptoms of the common cold by helping you work up a sweat. In fact, "spicy" is a burning feeling that you have on the surface of your tongue. That some people can stand spicy food is because their tongues have become less sensitive to it. If you can not handle the fiery heat, try to build up a tolerance (耐受力) gradually. Drinking milk or other milk drinks such as yogurt can "coat your tongue" and help you cool down after a spicy meal.

If you happen to be a spicy food lover, congratulations! Don't hesitate to include spicy foods in your balanced diet!

Like other kinds of grass, if people cut a bamboo plant very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1 metre in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo.

Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30'centimetres across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green: Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong,, bamboo is also used to build buildings.

Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting bridges while building them.

In Africa, poor farmers use bamboo to find water. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.
