18．Australia is a big country covers a whole continent．covers改为covering或在 covers 前加that/which．

分析 澳大利亚是一个国土覆盖了整个大陆的大国．

解答 答案：covers改为covering或在 covers 前加that/which
分析句意可知，动词短语cover a whole continent在句中作的应是后置定语，修饰名词country；由于动词cover与该名词是主谓关系，故用现在分词covering；另外，也可以将本句改为定语从句；先行词是country（国家），由于该从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词which/that．故答案为：covers改为covering或在 covers 前加that/which．

点评 本题考查了现在分词作后置定语/定语从句的用法；做本题时，首先应找到本句的错误之处，即在一个句子中不能同时出现两个谓语；其次应通过分析句意，确定"cover a whole continent"在句中作的是后置定语；最后，需要掌握现在分词作后置定语/定语从句的意义及用法．

8．IF you think tapping （踢踏） your feet three times a second is difficult，how about doing it 600 times in a minute？It's almost impossible．
    But for the tap dancers in Christmas Dancing Shoes，it's no problem．The show，by the Chicago Human Rhythm Project，is one of the best in the world．It ran from December 21-23 in Beijing．
    In the two hour-long show，the dancer showed off four different styles of tap dancing in a variety of settings．There was dancing in the classroom with desks and chairs，dancing on railway station platforms （站台），even mom and dad dancing in the living room!
    As with other kinds of dance，there's a right way and wrong way to do it．But each dancer adds his or her own personal ideas on things．It's this that makes it so attractive to young people．
"Dancing is so relaxing，"says dancer Doerr Mary，15，a high school girl from Texas．"You can move around just as you like．"
    Every other week she flies to North Carolina just to train．"I've been tap dancing since I was two and a half years old，"she says．"I've found I just can't stop dancing．Even when I'm sitting down，I'm tapping．My mom sometimes gets angry，"she laughs．Mary says she finds tap dancing is a good way of expressing herself．It's like，she says，"talking to my feet．"
    Mary says tap dancing has changed her life．She used to be shy，but not any more．"Knowing that I can dance in front of such a large group of people is a real confidence-booster （信心增强剂）．"

9．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．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．

5．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？B
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．
6．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
7．The word"steering"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB．
A．forcing       B．guiding        
C．driving       D．moving
8．The main purpose of the text is toC．
A．tell a story    
B．provide facts    
C．give advice     
D．compare opinions．

13．Long time ago，there was a seed（种子） and because he was only a seed，nobody noticed him．Thus，feeling inferior （低等的），the seed gave no importance to his existence．
Then one day，a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun．Later，he was given rain．
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side．"Thank God for this．I really need some rest，"he heard the traveler say．
"What are you talking about？"the seed quickly asked．He thought the man was making fun of him．No one ever spoke to him like that．
"Who just spoke？"the shocked man asked．"It is me．A seed．"
"A seed？"The man looked at the big tree．"Are you joking？You are not a seed．You are a big tree!"
"Really？"
"Yes!Why else do you think people come here？
"What do they come here for？"
"To feel your shade （树阴）!Don't tell me you didn't know you had grown over time．"
A moment passed before the traveler's words brought him pride．
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life．The years of torture （折磨） by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up．
"Oh!That means I'm not a little seed anymore!I was actually born to make people feel comfortable．Wow!That's great!"
21．The seed didn't realize the importance of his existence becauseD．
A．nobody looked after him

3．We all congratulate our classmate on his becoming one of the Olympic torch holders．
10．On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise（MLE），I didn't get a lot  of fan mail，so my attention was caught by a  letter on my desk one morning．
    When I opened it，I read："Sweet piece of  writing on the Tigers．Keep up the good work．"It was signed by Don Wolfe，the  sports editor． Because I was a teenager（being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch），his words could not have been more inspiring，I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old．Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer，I would reread Don's note and walk on air again．
    Later，when  I got to know him，I learned that Don made a habit of  writing a quick，encouraging note to people in all walks of life，"When I make others feel good about themselves，"he told me，"I feel good，too．"
    Over the years，I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words．In a world too often cold and unresponsive，such notes bring warmth．
    Why are positive note writers in such short supply？My guess is that many who shy away from  the  practice are too self-conscious．They are afraid they will be misunderstood．Thus it may cause troubles and problems．And it sounds insincere on the phone，Also，writing takes time；it is far easier to pick up the phone．
    The drawback of phone calls，of course，is that they do not last．A  note attaches more importance to our well-wishing．It is a matter of record，and our words can be read more than once savored （回味） and treasured，and they bring strength and love to us．
    Today  I sent a warm letter to my old boss．I  don't know if it will make his day，but it made mine．As my friend Don Wolfe said．"Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel  good too．"

56．What does the underlined  part"walk  on air"in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
（No more than 5 words）
Become confident．/Feel good about himself．/Become uplifted．
57．According to the author，why aren't  people  willing  to  write  letters？
（No more than 15 words）
Because they may be self-conscious，and writing may cause misunderstanding，and also take time．
58．Why did the author write to his old boss？（No more than 15 words）
To encourage him，make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself．
59．What's  the text mainly about？（No more than 10 words）
The power of a letter from Don Wolfe．
60．Were you  encouraged by anybody？And how？（No more than 25 words）
Yes，I was．When I didn't do well in an exam，my best friend encouraged me to be confident and worked harder．．
7．I can tell you from experience，both private and public schools have one thing in common．Look around your school．What do you see？Beautiful buildings？Good teachers？I'll tell you what I see：the need to have the most expensive clothing，newest phone，most expensive car，etc．Think about it．Do you find yourself wanting to one-up （胜过） your friends？Be honest．I know I have at some point in time．
  In my school parking lot，for example，there are more BWM's and Mercedes than one could possibly imagine．When I look at my 2006 Honda CRV，the butterflies in my stomach start flapping their wings wildly．Do people look at me differently because my car is old？
  What about my phone？What about text messaging？Earlier this year in my statistics class my teacher asked our class how many texts each student received in the past 24 hours．My count was twelve．Twenty minutes later，people started to come up with the answers of 200 or more．I firmly believe that people were in competition with each other．Who could get the most texts？Having only twelve texts sent to me made me feel terrible．Was it bad that hardly anyone had texted me？My teacher would never have thought that his question which intended a better understanding of the course made me uncomfortable．
  How about the difference between grade levels in high school？Come on．There is a distinct difference from being a senior and a freshman．At gatherings，the senior class boos（喝倒彩） every other grade，sometimes causing fights．Being a senior，I don't want to make negative comments on people in other grade levels．High school is hard enough as it is．Freshman，sophomores and juniors don't need four hundred students to remind them．
  Trying to impress everyone is hard．Most of the stress we have as teens is living up to everyone else's expectations．The only people we need to impress are ourselves．Be in competition with yourself and you'll live a happier life．
