Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)An investigation of 1,000 people showed that an incredible (难以置信的) 60 percent of workers ate at their desks every day while two thirds take 30 minutes or less for lunch despite being entitled to 60 minutes. Even when they manage to escape their desks, they are usually on business. Nearly a quarter of them regularly use the time to catch up with professional contacts.An academic expert in the science of workplaces said employees were putting their health atrisk by refusing to take a lunch break. Dr. Patrick Tissington, Associate Dean of Business Partnerships at Aston University, said people feel “under pressure” at work, with many spending long hours at their desks, “tapping away at keyboards, staring at screens and sitting with bad posture in awkward positions.”He said it was important for workers to take regular breaks, get up, move and walk around a bit. “Resting, or taking a break in the middle of the day helps to clear out the mind and prepares us for a productive afternoon,”he said. “It doesn’t matter what it is that you do during the lunch break as long as it’s something different.”Dr. Tissington said he makes sure to get away from his desk at lunchtime and deliberately chooses to get lunch from different places ---varying his route to get there. “This has the added benefit of exercise,” he said, “and, working in a large organization, it gives me the opportunity to encounter different colleagues along the way.”61. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________A. different workers have different lunch breaksB. many workers do not take a full lunch breakC. workers want to escape from their workD. workers always work while having their lunch62. What might be the greatest danger of refusing to take a lunch break?A. Lost work efficiency.B. Poorer health.C. Poorer appetite.D. Increased work pressure.63.

According to the passage, the audience ________.A. can receive their tickets by mailB. can see the performance onlineC. can’t take cell phones to the theatreD. can’t return tickets in any case(C)Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride theirbikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的) son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.67. What is the text mainly about?A. The experience of the only child being with mother.B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children.68. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ________.A. happyB. curiousC. regretfulD. friendly69. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. The daughter acts like a leader.B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The boys become better followers.D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.70. The author seems to believe that ________.A. having brothers and sisters is fun.B. it’s tiring to look after three children.C. every child needs parents’ full attention.D. parents should watch others’ children.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-AC for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. 71.Your heart is located in your chest, a little to your left. This heart of yours, which is about the size of your two fists held together, beats about 90 times a minute. A grown person's heart beatsabout 60 to 80 times a minute. The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons, and it is not the same in any one person at all times. 72. When your heart beats, it is pumping blood to all parts of your body. If you could examine your heart closely, you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side, and working at the same time. Each pump has two parts, the upper part called the auricle (心房), and the lower part called the ventricle (心室). The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body. The ventricles pump the blood out. The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body. At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves (阀门) which make the blood go in only one direction. 73. Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump. It works away, both day and night. First it pumps out some blood, rests for a few seconds, and then it pumps some more. In a normal day, the heart pumps about 2,500 gallons of blood from the auricles and ventricles. 74. By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart, the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly. The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily. The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chestand tubes that he places in his ear. The earpiece carries the sound or your heart's beating along the tubes to the doctor's ears, and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is. The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his earpiece against your chest.75.An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats. You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball. Make a small hole in it, and fill the ball with water through the hole. When you squeeze the ball, you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze. After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again. Something like this happens when your heart beats. The muscles in your heart grow smaller, or contract, and squeeze the blood out of the heart. Each time this happens, we say your heart is beating. Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill. By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating.Ⅳ.
