Milk contains calcium (Ca), which is a necessary nutrient(营养) for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The U.S. government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.Last Thursday, however, a group of doctors asked the government to take milk out of the lunch program. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine （PCRM）says, “Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein, all of which have unhealthy effe cts on health.” “One of the only reasons people prefer milk is that it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. There are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans, broccoli, cereals and tofu. Orange juice and soy milk that have calcium added to them also provide the nutrient.Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but your genes, how much vitamin you take in and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day all play a part.Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Ga ns, a dietitian, says, “I think it’s irresponsible to take away milk that children enjoy, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day, and remo ve it from the lunch line.”The U.S. government is studying the request of the PCRM, but a decision may be a long way off. Meanwhile, Marion Nestle, a professor at New York University, puts it best, “milk has nutrients. Other foods have the same nutrients. It’s just a food. Like other foods, too much might be a problem.”24．Why does the US government ask students to drink one cup of milk at lunch time?A．They have been told many times.B．They have taken the PCRM’s advice.C．Milk helps build students’ stron g bones.D．Fat-free or low-fat milk is less expensive.25．Which of the following opinions does the PCRM support?A．Orange juice is higher in calcium than milk.B．Milk is not so healthy for students’ health.C．Students should drink more milk each day.D．Milk is the best way to get calcium.26．What can we learn from Marion Nestle’s words?A．Milk has more nutrients than other food.B．Milk is just a kind of common food.C．Other food also contains much calcium.D．Too much nutrient lies in other food.27．What does the above text mainly talk about?A．Whether to take milk off the school-lunch menu.B．Different opinions about the importance of milk.C．The connection between milk and health.D．The best way to get the most calcium.CTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience. You must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong and pleasing voice which is fully under your control. And you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class：he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart. He has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions; they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.28. What is the text about ?A. How to become a good teacher.B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.D. The similarities and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s.29. The underlined word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ .A. studentsB. people who watch a playC. people who are not on the stageD. people who listen to something30. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ?A. The teacher must learn everything by heart.B. The teacher has to deal with unexpected situations.C. The teacher knows how to control his voice better than an actor.D. The teacher has to use more facial expressions.31. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.A. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t.B. students can move around in the classroom.C. the students must take part in their teachers’ plays.D. no memory work is needed for the students.DThe Netherlands on Monday launched its first-ever “intelligent bicycle”, fitted with a set of electronic devices (设备) to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists（骑自行车的人）in this country.The intelligent bicycle runs on electricity. Its seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind, while the handlebars do the same when obstacles (障碍物) appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the danger. It also has a cradle(置物架) in which a computer can be inserted (插入), to wire lessly connect and “talk” to the bicycle through a particular application. The computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycle’s path, like a tree, or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 euros to 3, 200 euros per bicycle. It weighs about 55 pounds but researchers are working on making the on-board systems smaller.‘‘Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get frightened when they are passed at high speed,” said Maurice, one of the scientists involved in the project, “The on-board system technology has already been at work in the automotive(自动的)industry”.“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances,” Dutch Environment Minister Melanie Haegen said, “this type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling.”32. What does the text mainly talk about?A. More elderly people enjoy electronic devices.B. The means of transportation in the Netherlands.C. The newly-invented bicycle can warn of danger.D. The intelligent computer runs on electricity.33. When a car appears ahead，the intelligent bicycle will_________．A. change its colorB. warn its cyclistC. make a noiseD. stop by itself34. What do you know about the intelligent bicycle?A. It is widely used now.B. It uses gas as the fuel.C. It will be free for everyone.D. It will be lighter in weight.35. More and more elderly people in the Netherlands______________．A. try to invent intelligent bicyclesB. drive cars for longer distancesC. enjoy themselves by cyclingD. devote themselves to computers第二节阅读填句（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
