（共两节，40分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）anext time you visit a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the ads for toys. about one out of every three toys that american children get each year comes from a fast-food restaurant. in fact, mcdonalds is the biggest toy company in the world. the company gives away or sells more than 1.5 billion dolls and other toys each year. the characters(角色) of happy meal toys are often from popular television shows and films. why do fast-food companies give kids toys when they are really in the business of selling food? almost 50 years ago, mcdonalds founder ray kroc discovered that one of the best ways to sell hamburgers was to make children want to visit his restaurants. he later helped to make tv programs with a popular clown, ronald mcdonald. kroc realized that ads aimed at children could get whole families to eat at his restaurants. a child who loves our tv programs, kroc said, and brings her grandparents to mcdonalds, gives us two more customers. mcdonalds ads have been very successful and ronald mcdonald is better known among children than santa claus, but this also brings some problems. kids are eating too much junk food and more and more children are becoming fatter and fatter. about one out of five little kids eats french fries every day, which is very bad for their health. fast-food companies shouldnt be allowed to use toys to sell food thats bad for kids. also, kids should be taught that they may pay more for it in the future because the food is bad for their health.bone warm may day, two eighteen-year-old students from san

here!”an eye-witness, army sergeant leo p. day was on guard at the nearby army post. he saw exactly what happened next. “i could see this boy struggling with the shark in the water,” he said. “the sea was red with blood. he was shouting and signaling someone to go back, go back. then i saw the girl. she was swimming towards him. she completely ignored his warning.”shirley reached robert, and tried to take his hand. “when i pulled, all i could see was his arm, handing by a thread,” she said. so she put her arm about roberts back, and started to swim towards the shore. she kept praying “dont let it attack again!” that journey to the shore seemed to last for hours. at last, as they neared the shore, a fisherman threw them a line, and pulled them both the rest of the way.the young man had lost

costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. to deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the governments health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. for example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. but many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor. daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. for instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.one very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.in addition, health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. by giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. for example, knowing ones family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.however, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. after all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. in conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.62. whats the best title of the passage? a. prevention or education? b. prevention or treatment? c. health or illness? d. exercise or illness?63. which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt”? a. unable to be cured. b. unable to pay ones debts. c. stronger than ever before. d. more successful than ever before.64. we learn from the passage that _. a. dressing warmly can prevent diseases b. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise c. the more health education, the better d. the governments health budget should be increased65. which of the following shows the structure of the passage? a b d c cp(central point) p(point) sp (sub-point 次要点) c(conclusion)第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）阅读下列短文，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答案。speaking in public is most
