19.Please excuse me if I'm a little sad today.Mark is leaving,and I'm feeling kind of sad.
You probably don't know Mark,but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him.He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional(职业的) skills with a sweet nature.He just wants to do his job,and to do it superbly well.And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity.It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime,and we're genuinely,sincerely pleased for him.But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague (同事).
Life has a way of throwing these curve (曲线) balls at us,just when we start to get comfortable with a person,a place or a situation.A terrific (极好的) neighbor moves away.Someone in the family graduates.A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage.The family's bread-winner is laid off.
But how do we do that?A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words,"Go with the flow."
"It's like surfing,"Chris explained."You can't organize the ocean.Waves just happen.You ride them where they take you,then you paddle back out there and catch the next one.Sure,you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get.But mostly you just take them the way they come."
I'm not exactly sure,but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events-both good and bad.There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control.That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your dreams come true.It just means that when things come up that aren't exactly in your plan,you work around them-and then you move on.Of course,some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others.A rained-out picnic,for example,is easier to deal with than the sudden death of a loved one.But the principle (原理 )is the same.
We're going to miss Mark,just like you'll miss that graduate,that neighbor or that newlywed.But rather than drown ourselves in the sadness of our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.

68.The leaving of Mike makes the writer feelD.
A.really unpleasant        B.very angry
C.a little disappointed    D.both happy and sad
69.Which is NOT an unexpected thing in life mentioned in the passage?B
A.A rained-out picnic.
B.A terrific neighbor's visit.
C.The sudden death of a loved.
D.The graduation of a family member.
70.In the writer's opinion,one shouldC when unexpected things come up.
A.overcome difficulties and let them in control     
B.do as planned
C.accept them and hope for a better future      
D.never give up until he succeeds.

7.It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food.Cherie Blair,wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve.So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan   High schools have canteens,which serve everything from noodles to rice,but not burgers and chips.Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls,meat or fish,pickles (泡菜) and vegetables.
Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value.Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭 )  at the end of the month receives a prize.
The United States  A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken,lettuce and pickles,fruit and cookies.School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量 )  of protein,vitamin A,vitamin C,iron,calcium  (钙) and calories.
Australia  Meat pies,sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops.But as the nation pays more attention to children's health,healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system.The sale of red-labelled foods,including pastries,chocolate and soft drinks,is served only twice a week.Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi (寿司),sandwiches,corn and watermelon,however,are available every day.
In some schools,students have a choice of up t0 89foods to choose from,including popcorn and rice.
South Africa   Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all.Classes end at l:30p.m.and students get their own lunches.Many students bring food from home,usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students,which has led to a rise in obesity among children.But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases,some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition.Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables,such as cabbages,onions,beans,carrots and tomatoes.

32.What does the underlined word"obesity"in the last paragraph probably mean?D
A.Violence.  B.Sadness.  C.Famine.  D.Overweight.
33.We can infer from the passage thatA.

14.Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world.We go fishing,sit in the garden,have a picnic,live in the suburbs or go to the seaside.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.When joggers jog,they don't run in the streets.Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.
But despite this,our children are growing up nature deprived(剥夺).I spent my boyhood climbing trees.These days,children are robbed of these ancient freedoms,due to problems like crime,traffic,the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children,that is to say,things that can be bought,rather than things that can be found.
The truth is to be found elsewhere.A study in the US:families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(多动症).Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood.One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children.However,we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years.And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.
We need the wild world.It is essential to our well-being,our health and our happiness.
39.According to the author,people enjoyB to seek nature.
A.jogging on the street
B.sitting in the garden
C.shopping in the supermarket
D.running in the gym
40.From the second paragraph,we can see thatC.
A.adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature
B.climbing trees will certainly do good to the children
C.children probably spend less time in nature nowadays
D.children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction
41.In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?B
A.Children with ADHD can be cured.
B.A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.
C.Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.
D.Children's performance at school is greatly improved.
42.What is the main idea of this passage?A
A.Access to nature improves our life.
B.Nature treats children with ADHD.
C.Getting close to nature reduces crime.
D.Man can't live without natural areas.
4.The earth is the only planet that scientists think has life.Why does the earth have life while the other planets don't?For one thing,the earth is just the right temperature.As the third planetfrom the sun,the earth seems to be just the right distance away.The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake in the sun.The farthest planets are cold balls.
When the earth developed-which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago-many gases covered the earth.The gases caused the earth to be hot.But something wonderful happened.The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form.It rained very hard for a very long time.This gave the earth its oceans.Water made it possible for plants to grow.The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere.Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.
Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the ear th.That planet is Mars.Mars is smaller than the earth,and it is quite a bit cooler.But it is not too cold for humans.On some days,the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States.If you wore a special space suit,you could walk around on Mars.You would have to bring your own air to breathe,the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.
Mars has the largest volcano (火山) in the solar system.It is sixteen miles high.The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high.The most unexpected sight on Mars is dried up river beds.Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now.Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars?Scientists are not sure,but there has been no si gn so far.

29.Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life?B
A.The earth is j ust the right temperature.
B.The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars.
C.There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.
D.The earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.
30.The underlined phrase"the third planet"in the first paragraph refers toC.
A.the Sun       B.the Moon         C.the Earth            D.the Mars
31.Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true?A
A.There could have been living things on Mars.
B.Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.
C.There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.
D.Mars is smaller than the earth,and it is quite a bit cooler.
11.It was an extremely hot day.My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez's farm and through some woods,because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down.
The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean (凶暴的) Hereford bull (公牛).Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in town,maybe even in the county and we believed in him.But the hotter it got,the more we thought there was something fishy about what he said.For one thing,we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another,Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull.Finally,I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm,and Mr.Blickez agreed.
On our way across the farm,we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole.The sun shone brightly across the cool waters.We couldn't wait to get there.Suddenly,Walt shouted loudly.Elsie had run to him and was licking (舔) his back.I immediately hid under the fence.However,when I looked up,I saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull at all.She was just a friendly young cow,and she was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still.
When we discovered the truth,we were so happy.We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in.The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed.After that day,we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called"big mean bull".

25.What's the meaning of the underline word"fishy"in Paragraph 2?A
A.Doubtful.       B.Interesting.
C.Funny.          D.Believable.
26.What was the problem faced by the author and his brother?D
A.They didn't know where to swim.
B.They didn't know how to get to the stream.
C.Their mother didn't want them to swim.
D.They had to face a very mean bull.
27.When Elsie saw the author's brother,sheB.
A.tried to attack him   B.showed her friendliness
C.immediately ran away  D.tried to drive him away
28.What's the passage mainly about?C
A.The bull guarding Mr.Blickez's farm.
B.How friendly the so-called mean bull was.
C.The story of visiting the swimming hole.
D.How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.
