I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包围） by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 56．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A．Those who often take exercise.B．Those who often watch television.C．Those who often have meals at home.D．Those who often walk to school.57．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseA．their parents often cook meals for themB．they are too busy to go out and playC．they can' t choose what to eatD．there are too many fast food shops around58．The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.A．forcing B．guiding C．driving D．moving59．The main purpose of the text is to _________.A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinionsBTeens don't understand the big fuss(小题大做). As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers weren't around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends. So what?But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated（孤寂）, less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb（麻木） to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world. "and a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless," said Sherry Turkle.Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he's worried about the "opportunity costs（机会成本）" of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation. "Chatting on line may be better than watching television, but it's worse than hanging out（闲逛） with real friends," he said.Today's teens, however, don't see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives, "School is busy and full of pressure. There's almost no time to just hang out." said Parker Rice, "Talking online is just catch up time."Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don't want to do so. But they insist there's no harm.60. The researchers argue that___ ．A．teens may develop a different sense of valuesB．nothing is wrong with teens' chatting onlineC．teens can manage their social connectionsD．spending hours online does much good to teens61. Teens think that talking online can help them __ __．A．use computers properly B．improve their school workC．develop an interest in social skills D．reduce their mental pressures62. The text mainly deals with __ _．A．teens' pleasant online experience B．teens' computer skills and school workC．the effects of the computer world on teens D．different opinions on teens' chatting online63. The purpose of the text is to ___ _．A．describe computer research results B．draw attention to teens' computer habits C．suggest ways to deal with problem teens D．discuss problems teens haveCIt's great fun to explore (探索) new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you' re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.64. Sitting beside the driver, you should ________.A. direct the driver when necessaryB. look ahead to see where there's a turnC. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableD. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to65. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?A. To get information when in danger.B. To be saved in case of an accident.C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.D. To tell him/her what's going on with the group members.66. Orienteering activities can ________.A. make people work fastB. help people stay healthyC. help people organize other activitiesD. make people get prepared for sports67. The text mainly talks about________.A. the fun of explorationB. what to bring for explorationC. the way to use the map in explorationD. how to prevent getting lost in explorationDSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters-sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know howfar you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life68. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.A. for you to make more and more new friendsB. to begin your business talksC. to get the conversation going smoothlyD. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others69. After having asked somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to _______.A. make clear what kind of person he isB. listen to his reply attentivelyC. wait quietly and patiently for his answerD. go on asking him more questions70. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a gentle wayD. know how and when they should change the topic ofthe talk71. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. it's proper for you to give him a second handshakeD. it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of himEWhile all my classmates seem to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星), I’d rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People won’t have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won’t be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?Steve Minear,UK Here are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory……For scientist there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.Donal Trollop,Canada There are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony(殖民地) on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet Mars are necessary. Most of the danger of space flight is in the launches(发射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement in another world. Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will be sent to the new colony. Mars has all the materials for a colony to produce or make everything it needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.Paul Davies,USA72. The main purpose of Steve Minear’s writing is .A.to report his classmates’discussionB.to invite an answer to his questionC.to explain the natural state of MarsD.to show his agreement on going to Mars73. Which of the following best states Donal Trollop’s idea?A.There is a plan to send humans to Mars.B.There are many reasons for going to Mars.C.Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars.D.It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars.74. Paul Davies points out that .A.humans need only a one-way ticket to MarsB.two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soonC.it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to MarsD.it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars75. What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars?A.Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth.B.Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living.C.Humans can produce everything they need.D.Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars.第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题，满分10分）There is an English saying: “laughter is best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmer. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programmer. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.LaughterAs a proverb goes, “Laughter is the best (76)___________”.Doctors have found that laughter really can improve people’s (77)_________.Some different tests conducted by doctors.Some doctors carried out some tests to study the (78)________ of laughter on one’s (79)__________.While doctors checks their heart, blood pressure and so forth, people were asked to watch (80)_________films.
