Ⅲ 阅读理解(四部分,共25小题,计45分)

第一节    阅读短文,判断下列句子是否符合短文内容。符合的写(T),不符合的写(F)

(共5小题,计5分)

Eating is important to everyone. But not many people have time to think about what to eat.

“Fast food is easy,” says Sarah Hudson, a 14-year-old high school student from America. She is enjoying her lunch at McDonald’s. “It’s quick and it is delicious.” She eats fast food about twice a week.

Now each American eats about three hamburgers and four bags of French fries every week. That is 2,520 calories(卡路里,热量单位). A person needs about 2,000 calaries for a whole day.

Most Americans know that fast food isn’t good for them. But it seems that they can’t give it up. In fact, more and more people are eating fast food, and fast food restaurants are part of American life. 96% of American schoolchildren know McDonald’s.

Because they love French fries, it’s no surprise that children are getting bigger. In America, 33% of children are overweight(too heavy). That makes it hard for them to move around, go upstairs and even breathe. So most of them probably have health problems later in life. Of course it’s not just young people who are getting heavier. It’s all Americans.

根据短文内容,判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)

(   ) 41.Sarah is a 14-year-old high school student.

(   ) 42.A person needs 2,520 calories a week.

(   ) 43.Most Americans still have fast food though they know it is bad for them.

(   ) 44.Half of the American children have difficulty in moving around.

(   ) 45.It’s not good for one to have much fast food like French fries.

Dear Mr. Zhu,

I’m writing to your magazine’s “Teenagers Now” column(专栏)to ask for some help for my 16-year- old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very well. His grandparents buy him many things, but he is still not polite to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn’t love us at all.

  Now he refuses to do his homework, but wastes lots of time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. I cannot understand this music, so I don’t like it. He also spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online.

  What should I do? Now I am giving him his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. How can I help my son without hurting our relationship(关系)?

John Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington, and he inherited(继承) $1 000 000 when he was 23. He didn’t feel happy at all. His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. He didn’t tell any of his friends and gave $100 000 of his money to a charity(慈善团体) that helped poor children to live better lives. Today he is 36. He still wears cheap shoes and clothes and owns a small car only, but he is much happier.

Up to now John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, $200 a month for each. The child does not receive the money in cash(现金). The money pays for the child’s school expenses, food, medical care and clothing. John receives a report each year on the child’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.

When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them. “It was not anything special,” he said. “Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping, I did not know anything about the type of life they had.”

Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very very happy,” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot.” “I want to do everything I can. I will go on helping those children in need,” he added.

第三节 句子翻译(共5小题,计10分)

“Be proud of what you do,” my father always told me, “whether you are a boss or a cleaner.”81当我15岁时,I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include sweeping floors, washing dishes and cleaning toilets. I smiled and remembered dad’s words.”

Even though my job was the lowest,82 It made me feel excited. I regarded it as a challenge83因为它是我的第一份工作. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return, I was treated with respect by doctors, nurses, and patients. Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients more sick if I were not there to wash them clean. After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all patients’ rooms and cleaning toilets. Though I was tired, I wanted my job to be done well. People would say, 84“That young man can always do everything well.”

  Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one’s job is very important. I have swept the floors, and I have been a manager. “Be proud of what you do.” 85my father’s words have deeply influenced me all my life. And I’m sure dad must be proud of me.
