I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up. The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she cant get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror. Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I havent lost my feet.40. How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?A. Embarrassed.B. Wise. C. Regretful.D. Relieved.41. The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to .A. the authors friend B. a strangerC. the authors roommateD. the author42. Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?A. She came to realize what she really possessed.B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.C. She didnt feel at ease when looking into a mirror.D. She never thought over the other side of a person.43. We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as .A. funnyB. naturalC. silly D. simpleC篇A joint research project by researchers from several British universities and institutes has attracted peoples attention to the toothbrush again. Researchers have found that your toothbrush is home to more than 100 million bacteria（细菌）. But there are hundreds of microorganisms （微生物）in the mouths and your toothbrush probably wont make you sick unless there is an unhealthy balance of bacteria. Our immune （免疫的）system can usually take care of bacterial invaders. However, if others use your toothbrush, or you use someone elses, bacteria can be spread. They have also found the toothbrush holders are the third-most dirty household items (behind dish sponges and kitchen sinks), thus advocating（主张）cleaning the toothbrush holder regularly.The storage of your toothbrush in your bathroom is also important. Here are some storage tips from the researchers to keep your toothbrush as healthy as possible: Put your toothbrush as far away as possible from the toilet flushing. Let your toothbrush dry thoroughly between brushings. Dont use toothbrush covers, which can create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Keep your toothbrush upright in a holder, rather than lying down. Keep toothbrushes separate. If toothbrushes touch, they can exchange and spread bacteria.There are products available that claim to sanitize (消毒) your toothbrush. While some of these products do kill some bacteria, there is no evidence that using them will reduce your risk of illness, according to the researchers. They recommend replacing your toothbrush every three to four months or more often if you are sick or if you have a weakened immune system. Childrens toothbrushes may need to be replaced more often than adult brushes. 44. The text is especially helpful for those who care about _. A. their heathB. their houseC. their money D. their diets45. What are people advised to do in the text?A. Have the toothbrush dry partly between brushings.B. Keep the toothbrush lying down after the use.C. Clean your toothbrush holder regularly.D. Keep the toothbrush covered after the use. 46. What can we infer from the text?A. Products of sanitizing the tooth brush are of no use at all. B. Adults need to replace toothbrushes more often than children. C. Sharing your toothbrush with others may be harmful to your health.D. Your toothbrush will probably make you sick if there is a healthy balance of bacteria.47. Which might be the best title for the text?A. How to Use Your Toothbrush Properly?B. How to Store Your Toothbrush Healthily?C. How to Clean Your Toothbrush Correctly?D. How to Replace Your Toothbrush Economically? D篇You love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone. Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods. With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You dont have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you. Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough. Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them. Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They dont have fat content as cream and chocolate. Dont let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories.48. Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may _A. bring weight problems B. bring you much trouble in your lifeC. make you worried about your foods D. make you hate delicious foods49. In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight, youd better_ A. drink much water and have vegetables only B. not eat the food in high fat C. not accept invitations to feasts D. turn away from delicious foods50. According to the passage, _ is a necessary part to stop you from putting on weight. A. vegetables B. water C. calories of energy D. physical exercise四、七选五阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)（注意：将答案涂在机读卡71-75空处）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 51 But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult. 52 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way. 53 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that youre standing at the oceans edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh. 54 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, youd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you dont cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isnt as tasty as the fresh one.
