1．Doctors say obesity，also known as severe overweight，is a complex condition．A doctor may advise medical interventions（医疗干预） in addition to changes in behavior．But experts say the more successful weightloss plans include a wellbalanced diet and exercise．
People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use．To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，or increase the number you use，or both．Experts at the National Institutes of Health say，to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week．This could include fast walking，sports or strength training．
Arecent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the United States．Researchers at Stanford University studied more than three hundred overweight women，mostly in their thirties or forties．Each woman went on one of the four plans：Atkins，The Zone，Ornish or LEARN．The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans．At the end of a year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and a half kilograms on average．
Christopher Gardner led the study，reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association．He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar．Also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals．
But last week，another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting．Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years．And often they gained back even more．But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised．
33．All the following is helpful to lose weight EXCEPTD．
A．a healthy diet
B．physical exercise
C．medical interventions
D．being polite to others
34．You are most likely to gain too much weight ifC．
A．you eat the same number of calories as the number you use
B．you take in less calories than the number you use
C．you take in more calories than the number you use
D．you take exercise regularly on the weekdays
35．Which one of the following is the best title for this passage？A
A．Successful Weightloss Plans
B．Four Popular Dieting Plans
C．What Is the Atkins Diet？
D．Few People Fail in Losing Weight．

8．A deaf and blind woman from Australia has become the first person to make a telephone call using a device that turns speech into Braille．Braille is a form of writing that uses raised dots on a surface that can be"read"by touching them．The technology is being tested for the first time in Australia and the United States．The test involved a simple phone call between two sisters．
Michelle Stevens is deaf and blind．Ms．Stevens says the Braille telephone will end years of feeling isolated，or feeling alone and apart from others．She is one of five Australians who are taking part in the new tests．These tests will take place in Australia at the same time in the United States，where the technology has been developed．
Ms．Stevens says that this telephone system will be one way to break the isolation of deaf-blind people．She adds that with future developments，the phone system may be able to give deaf-blind people more job opportunities．Not being able to communicate in the office or on the telephone is a major barrier for people who are deaf-blind．
A similar test will also take place in the United States in a few months．Christopher Engelke is a director with the U．S．company Ultratec．He says the way that the whole system works is two deaf or hard of hearing people，who speak for themselves，will use the phone just like any other phone，except that much like getting subtitles （字幕） on TV，they get subtitles to the conversation appearing on the screen，although for Braille users they can read those subtitles in Braille bumps on a dynamic Braille display．
Developers of the device say it can change the lives of those who cannot see or hear．In Australia alone，it's estimated that there are 330，000people who are deaf-blind．Some groups say that number is likely to reach 1.2million by 2050．
32．The underlined word"isolated"in Paragraph 2probably meansC．
A．embarrassed

C．separated

C．she can go on with the test in the office
D．she can work hard to support her family
34．What does Ms．Stevens do while making a telephone call？D
A．She keeps silent all along．
B．She tries her best to listen．

D．More similar products will come into the market．

5．A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon，where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky．But God was unhappy，and he made them speak different languages．They couldn't understand each other，so their dream never came true．
Yet the dream remains alive：if all men speak the same language，they can do anything．L．L．Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream．He developed Esperanto（世界语）between 1877and 1885．
As the most successful man-made world language，it is spoken by over two million people around the world．Last month，the World Esperanto Congress（大会），dealing with language rights，ended in Sweden．The 2004conference was held in Beijing．Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia，particularly Chinese mainland．
Esperanto has two advantages．First，it's easy．Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16basic grammar rules．The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country．But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world-such as English or Chinese．While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures，Esperanto doesn't have this background．
Will Esperanto really become a global language？It remains a question．
36．The writer tells us a story at the beginning toA．
A．explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all
B．explain why men now speak different languages
C．show the relationship between man and God
D．prove that language is very important
37．What does the underlined word"pursue"in the second paragraph mean？B
A．"Realize"．
B．"Work for"．
C．"Be against"．
D．"Follow"
38．What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English？D
A．More people speak English than Esperanto．
B．Esperanto words are easier to spell．
C．Esperanto has fewer grammar rules．
D．Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture．
39．What does the story mainly talk about？C
A．Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto．
B．Men's dream of sharing the same language．
C．The most successful planned language-Esperanto．
D．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese．
40．Which is RIGHT，according to the passage？D
A．Esperanto is very popular all over the world．
B．Esperanto is based on language in Poland．
C．Esperanto is rooted in its nation and culture．
D．Esperanto is a man-made language．

2．My color television has given me nothing but a headache．I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit．I let a shop assistant fool me into buying a discontinued model．I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid．The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signedoff for the night．Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten t bed．
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static（静电）noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial（商业广告），a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉）shaking my set．
When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．
24．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set？C
A．He got an older model than he had expected．
B．He couldn't return it when it was broken．
C．He could have bought it at a lower price．

25．Which of the following can best replace the phrase"signed off"in Paragraph 1？A
A．ended all their programs
B．provided fewer channels
C．changed to commercials
D．showed all-night movies
26．How did the author finally get his TV set working again？D
A．By shaking and hitting it．
B．By turning it on and off．
C．By switching channels．
D．By having it repaired．
27．How does the author sound when telling the story？D
A．Curious．
B．Anxious．
C．Cautious．
D．Humorous．
