B My grandmother pointed at a picture of a six-year-old me and asked, “Sweetie, do you see that?” Studying my younger self, I smiled and nodded.“Thats my granddaughter.” Grandma said. “She lives in Connecticut. She must beWell, Ive forgotten how old shed be now! ” My smile froze and my hands began to shake. My grandmother had Alzheimers disease. It seemed impossible for her to be able to look after herself. Gradually, not remembering where she placed her glasses became not remembering where her house was, which became not always remembering my name. My birthday gifts from Grandma used to be highly expected; she always knew exactly what to get and her cards would make me smile. Now, my gift from her is really from my father, who buys a present in her name since she doesnt remember when my birthday is. A birthday card without her writing just reminds me that my grandmother isnt the same anymore. I feel sad about it and I find a great fort through writing. Writing my memories on paper helps me to deal with what is happening and to see Grandma as what she truly is. I have hopes of someday soon writing a novel about the Alzheimers struggle, so that I might help others who are experiencing the same pains deal with the realities of losing a loved one this way. Strangely enough, recording my sadness reduced some of the pain. I know its her strength that pulls me through the hard times. That is the character I have wanted to have since I was a child, and it does not change, no matter how weak her mind has bee. So now, when I sit on the chair next to Grandma and know she cant remember my name, I swallow the bitter medicine of disappointment and smile. 25. Whats the authors attitude towards Grandmas birthday gifts?A. Cold. B. Calm. C. Appreciative. D. Unclear.26. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Grandmother couldnt look after herself. B. The birthday card was really from Dad. C. Grandmother couldnt remember the authors birthday. D. That grandmother wasnt the same because of her disease.27. What is the best title for the text?A. The bitter medicine of disappointment B. A great fort through writing C. My grandmother D. My birthday gift CIf you are a wealthy person of India, madly in love and planning your big fat wedding-or being pressured into arranged marriage-Thailand wants you to exchange vows(誓言) in Bangkok, Phuket(普吉岛) or elsewhere in this “wedding paradise”.This wedding business starts from overseas with the Indians. Thai embassies in India give quick services for the visas. Not only the couples, you can bring anyone, say, your own cook. So, feel free to invite hundreds of your friends and relatives.Why would Indians want to spend so much on weddings in Thailand? Partly because they have similarities in religion. When Indian weddings want to have some religious prayer for the couples, Thailand can do that. But the more obvious appeal are Thailands fancy hotels, tropical islands, and delicious Thai food, allowing new couples to include a honeymoon in Thailand after they say “I do” while their guests also celebrate on a holiday here. But on the other hand, love does have a price.Kasu Rajagopal arranged for his daughter to have a wedding in Phuket. They arranged entertainment to begin three days before the wedding because guests arrival time varied. Yachts(游艇) were arranged to take guests to small islands, while a DJ from Bangalore, India, was booked to help them dance in the evening. Kasu also arranged priests(祭祀) for the Hindu wedding, and cooks to prepare Indian food. The approximate costs are around half a million US dollars, including the airfares, hotel acmodation, food, transportation, the yachts on hire and the wedding ceremony expenses, for 225 to 250 guests.Thailand wants to make itself a wedding paradise for all couples, not just from India, but from around the world. Last year, there were around 500 to 600 couples from China, and the numbers are slowly ing up. Westerners also arrive to get married, but in much smaller numbers.28. The Indians would go to Thailand for weddings mainly because_.A. they will be pressured into arranged married in India.B. India shares the same religion as ThailandC. Thailand offers them more than just a wedding ceremony.D. Guests are not satisfied with Indian weddings.29. What can we learn from the text?A. Guests do not need visas to get into Thailand.B. Changing vows is a necessary step for an Indian wedding.C. Islands are all peoples first honeymoon destination choice.D. Some Indians prefer the food prepared by their own cooks.30. Kasu Rajagopals example in the fourth paragraph shows_.A. it may cost you a fortune to have such a weddingB. you can bring whatever you want to ThailandC. what Thailand offers hardly satisfies customers needsD. there are quite a few activities after the wedding31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Cost of weddings in Thailand will be reduced.B. More people will get married in Thailand.C. Fewer westerners will have Thai weddings.D. Chinese will be Thailands No.1 customers.DWe live in a sweet world. The average American kid consumes more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isnt good for you. But did we know it could be dangerous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to conduct a study to prove the toxic effects of eating more sugar. They found it could influence peoples health seriously.During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed a diet containing 25% more sugar. This percentage equals a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as mice fed a similar diet without the sugar. Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, male mice produced 25% fewer offspring than the other mice.The reason why mice were chosen for research by scientists are not far to seek. “Mice have the genetic structure similar to humans. Most substances that are harmful to mice are also harmful to people. Its likely that those underlying physical problems that cause those mice to have increased the death rate are at play in people,” says study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings from this study reveal negative effects that are not as detectable as weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that can alter development and even shorten lives.Different types of sugar have different effects on the human body. Some of the sugar we consume es from foods we might expect-candy, soda, and cookies. But much of the sugar that we eat if hidden. Food panies add large amounts of sugar to items we may not classify as sweets. To help cut down on extra sugar consumption, nutrition experts suggest looking at the ingredients(原料) on food packages. Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our nations sugar cravings will provide for a truly sweeter future.32. The underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph i probably means “_”.A. ridiculous B. skeptical C. poisonous D. reasonable33. According to Paragraph 2, we can know _.A. the study conducted on mice lasted less than a year.B. the study shows the bad effects of more sugar on mice.C. mice eating more sugar than others live longerD. mice eating more sugar will bee fatter and fatter34. Why did the scientists choose the mice to conduct the study?A. They have a similar genetic structure to humans.B. They are sensitive to the taste of the sweet.C. They are easy to take in the harmful substances.D. They have a longer lifespan than other animals.35. Which suggestion is put forward by nutrition experts?A. Choosing the food without any sugar to eat.B. Buying the food rich in sugar to consume.C. Eating the food with sugar hidden in it.D. Checking the labels of the food before buying.第二节（共小题；每小题分，满分10分）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。 Nearly everyone has spent at least one night lying in bed wishing for sleep.
