8.The warm weather outside may look perfect for outdoor exercise.But for those (81)whoare not that sporty,what could be nicer than (82)having(have) relaxing afternoon tea with a few good friends and taking a break?
But are you familiar (83)withthe culture of afternoon tea---(84)its(it) origins,and the proper etiquette (礼仪)?We sum up a few things you need to know about this (85)traditional_ (tradition) English custom so that you can enjoy it more.While the tradition of drinking tea dates back to about 3,000 BC in China,it was not until the mid-17th century (86)thatthe concept of"afternoon tea"first appeared in the UK.
In 1840,Anna Maria Russell,the seventh Duchess of Bedford,started asking for a tea tray with butter,bread and cakes at 4pm every day,as she found she was hungry at this time every day,and the evening meal in her household was served (87)usually(usual) late at 8pm.She found this new habit difficult (88)to break(break) and soon invited other ladies in society to join her.This pause for tea quickly (89)became(become) a fashionable social event.In (90)the1880s,the women from upper class and society would put on gowns,gloves and hats for their afternoon tea.

85.traditional 考查形容词.custom是名词,其前用形容词作定语.
86.that  英语强调句型:It is/was+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)+其他部分.
87.usually 考查副词.serve是动词,要用副词修饰.
88.to break 考查动词不定式.此处为"find sth.+adj.+to do"结构,表示"她发现这个新习惯不容易改掉".
89.became 考查动词时态.此处讲述的是已发生的事情,用一般过去时.
90.the 考查冠词.During/In the 1880s意为"在19世纪80年代",是固定搭配.

16.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 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.

32.According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?B
A.Those who often do sports.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
33.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD.
A.they can't choose what to eat
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.their parents often cook meals for them
D.there are too many fast food shops around
34.The word"steering"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB.
A.forcing      
B.guiding      
 C.driving     
 D.moving
35.The main purpose of the text is toC.
A.tell a story   
B.provide facts  
 C.give advice  
 D.compare opinions.
1.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
The festival season is on us again and like every year,we work hard in terms of cleaning,cooking,shopping,and so on for the season.With it,it also brings a lack of sleep.This could be because you are feeling overworked and stressed out.
We should always sleep for at least 6-8hours but a recent survey has shown that more women than men do not get enough sleep and at times some women are functioning on less than five hours of sleep a day.
Often,some choose sleeping tablets to aid their sleep.If you are going through an extreme period of stress or pain,your doctor may subscribe to you some sleeping tablets.However,they should be taken with care,as the body takes just two weeks to adjust to them and they are not as effective.Then there is a problem that they are dependent on sleeping tablets.So you can try the healthier alternatives listed below to deal with the sleeping problem.
Use the bedroom to sleep-not as an extension of your office or entertainment center.Keep the TV switched off.
Relax before going to bed.Drinking some milk and listening to music will be beneficial.
Have a hot shower and keep the room cool.Often a temperature change can cause sleep.
Don't do anything which may raise anxiety levels just before bed.It takes your mind a long time to get calm after anxiety.
Try to get to bed at the same time every day for a week,and wake up at the same time every day for a week.Once you get used to the routine,sleep will become a natural experience.
So these are alternative ways of helping you to relax before bed.Try some or a combination of the above tips to experiment what suits you most.
