People who eat at home most of the time have better nutrition than those who go out to eat , a recent study shows. Cornell University professors Lana Hall and Karen Bunch interviewed 3900 people in the survey. “People who eat less than 30 percent of their food away from home eat the most nutritiously,” they said.

“In general, Americans don’t have nutrient, except for iron and calcium,” they reported. They have the opposite problem——over—consumption(过度消耗), especially of fat.

The food at many fast food restaurants is often low in vitamins. “People who eat more than 30 percent of total calories away from home eat foods that are generally low in nutrients per calorie,” the professors said. More calories and enough nutrient intake（吸收） are required to achieve.

One of the major health risks is eating too much fat. The professor found than fat consumption became greater as income went up. It also went up in houses where the female worked. This is probably because these people eat more highly processed （加工的）foods.

57.According to the passage, which of the following suggestions would you most readily take?

A.Eat out as many times as possible

B.Eat at home as many times as possible

C.Eat foods with a lot if iron, calcium and fat

D.Eat more highly processed foods

58.What is the result if people often dine out according to the passage?

A. They tend to have better nutrition          B. They tend to have less nutrition

C.They can save a lot of time                D. They will spend much money on it

59. Nowadays, a major health risk that people face is_______.

A.Eating too much fast food         B. Frequent dining out

C.Eating at home very often         D. Eating too much fat

60．The passage is about__________.

A. Eating and Health      B. The Life Style in Modern Society

C. Fast food in the USA    D. Dining out Lowers Nutrient Intake

We have every reason to believe that ______ 2012 London Olympic Games will be ______ success.

 A. / ； a         B. the ；/         C. the ；a   D. a ；a

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday - makers and other tourists.

   Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day this news appeared on Page Two of the town’s newspaper, The Beldon Post.

                             FIRE AT SEABREEZE

   Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors, "Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed."  This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.

   The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on Page One:

                 ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

   Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “ An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I turned the bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

   What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel 1st August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.

A. this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel

d. The fire broke out at night.

e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.

A. b and c                    B. a and c                     C. a and d              D. c and e

Like cats, geckos（壁虎）always land on their feet. If they happen to fall from a wall or leaf they’ve been climbing, a quick move of the tail makes sure that they always land on their feet first, a new study finds.

     Geckos are truly built for climbing: their feet have hairy toes that can fix themselves to a wall or other vertical（竖直的）surfaces. However, geckos’ feet can’t always keep hold and they may fall to the ground. When geckos fall or jump off a wall, they always land stomach-side down. Geckos’ long tails become necessary during their falls, the new study shows.

     Researchers did an experiment. They placed geckos up-side-down on the underside of a leaf. When they lost their foothold and fell, the geckos pitched （倾斜）their tails for balance. They then rotated（旋转）their tails to make their bodies rotate. As soon as they were right-side up, they stopped rotating. On average, it only took the geckos about a tenth of a second to right themselves so that they would land on their feet.

     Cats use a different way to land on their feet after a fall. As their tails don’t have the power like geckos’ tails, cats can’t use them to right themselves. Instead they twist their bodies around mid-air.

     Engineers are trying to build a robot that imitates the geckos’ climbing ability. A tail will be fixed to the robot to allow it to keep balance.

54. What do we know about geckos?

   A. Their toes make it possible for them to walk on walls.

B. Their tails can fix them to a wall or other vertical surfaces.

C. They often land on their backs when they jump off walls.

D. It takes them a second to right themselves in mid-air.

55. How do cats avoid their injury during a fall?

   A. By twisting their bodies.                  B. By fixing their toes to the ground.

C. By using their tails to right themselves.         D. By landing upside-down.

56. Geckos’ special abilities have given engineers some new ideas to _________.

A. allow robots to climb vertical surfaces       

B. reproduce geckos like robots

C. invent robots that can rotate on the ground

D. invent robots that can balance themselves using their tails

57. What is the text mainly talking about?

   A. The interesting living habits of geckos.   B. The differences between cats and geckos.

C. Why geckos always land on their feet.       D. How geckos climb up vertical walls.
