摘要：Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception . I was quite wrong. Then man wouldn’t even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same , and the third and, the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “ Would you like to buy a chair? He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir? “Twenty pounds, I said. “OK, he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. “It’s got a slightly broken leg, I said. “Yes I saw that, it’s nothing. Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it? I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. “I’ll buy it, I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me, he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry, I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. “You must be crazy , he said Then , suddenly the penny dropped. “ I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. “ You’re right, I said. “ And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, `Would you mend this chair for me’? “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it, he said. “We don’t’ do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver? He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing. 56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer . A. was rather impolite B. was warmly received C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 57.

It is very important for people to drink water in our everyday life. Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking. The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily. Men should get about 3.7 liters. But wait——in each case, that is more than eight glasses.

There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water. Yet some also contain caffeine. This causes the body to expel(排出)more water. But the writers of the report say this does not mean the body loses too much water.

As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do. All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily.

It may have started with a misunderstanding. In 1945, the National Academy of Sciences published some guidelines. Its Food and Nutrition Board(营养膳食) said a good amount of water for most adults was 2.5 liters daily. This was based on an average of one milliliter(毫升)for each calorie of food eaten. But that was only part of what the board said. It also said that most of this amount is contained in prepared foods.

56. In experts’ opinion, every day a person should drink ____.

A. as much water as he can B. more than eight glasses of water

C. according to actual need for his body D. when he comes in sight of water

57. What is mainly described in the second paragraph?

A. People know about the daily water requirement.

B. People need water instead of all kinds of drink.

C. People get daily water not only from drinking.

D. People drink all kinds of drink every day.

58. Who might drink less water according to the third paragraph?

59. The writer mentions the guidelines in 1945 to ____.

A. meet with good results B. follow the advice

C. give up his idea D. correct the conclusion

60. The main purpose of writing the texts is to _______.

A. make a good suggestion of drinking daily B. make clear the requirements to drink daily

C. tell the importance of drinking water daily D. figure out a good amount of water daily
