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 (很少)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 bee 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 puters and play puter games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodWhat 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 assteeringthem away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.21According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?AThose who often take exercise. BThose who often watch television.CThose who often have meals at home. DThose who often walk to school.22The author thinks that children are being overweight because .Atheir parents often cook meals for them Bthey are too busy to go out and playCthey can t choose what to eat Dthere are too many fast food shops around23The word steering underlined in the last sentence most probably means _.Aforcing Bguiding Cdriving Dmoving24The main purpose of the text is to _.Atell a story Bprovide facts Cgive advice Dpare opinions B A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan (贷款)officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000The bank officer saysthe bank will need some kind of security for such a loan. So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parking on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the banks underground garage（车库） and parks it there. Two weeks later, the businessman returns, and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which es to $15.41.The loan officer says, “We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction（交易） has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is that why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”Laughing, the businessman replies, “Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for $15?”25.The businessman walks into the bank with the true purpose of _. Aborrowing $5,000 Bmeeting the loan officerfinding a place to park his car Dshowing how rich he is26.The loan officer is puzzled because _.

AHonest. BClever. CRich. DKind. CIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors cant fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys blood back to the monkeys brains. When the brains temperature was 10, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.29.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _.A. the time is too short for doctors B. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fix D. the blood-cooling machine might break down30.The brain operation was made possible mainly by _.A. taking the blood out of the brain B. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machine D. lowering the brains temperature31.With Dr. Whites new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _.A. can last as long as 30 minutes B. can keep the brains blood warmC. can keep the patients brain healthy D. can help monkeys do different jobs D Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches. Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many mercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.32. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their . A. cultural values B. mercial purposesC. personal experiences D. physical reactions to the color33. Why will many mercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button? A. To relax people physically. B. To increase peoples appetites.C. To encourage people to make a purchase. D. To cause a persons blood pressure to rise.34. What color might help lose weight according to the text?A. Red B. Green. C. Blue. D. Purple.35. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text? A. Colors and Human Beings B. The Cultural Meaning of ColorC. Colors and Personal Experiences D.

Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. 37 The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think 38 .It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. 39 Great scientists, such as Einstein，Newton and Galileo didnt get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments. 40 So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.A teacher，no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know.Above all, they knew how to use their brains.Many people go to school for an education.They went to college and learned from professors If we want to be successful, we only learn science subjects.But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. 第三部分 英语知识运用（ 共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches.
