We certainly did not find this to be the case and，except for a few places in faraway mountain areas，the roads were wide，and wellpaved(铺设). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns difficult，so we picnicked almost every day.The following day after our arrival was Turkeys Childrens Day，started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.Ataturk loved children and he often said：“Children are a new beginning of tomorrow.” He even dedicated(奉献) the day 23rd of April to the children which is celebrated as Childrens Day.On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government，and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day.He can decide whats going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president next to him. There are a very large number of possibilities of things he can do but some shops arent open because they are celebrating the day as well.All in all，it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend(推荐) a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous(冒险的) spirit!5Before the author and his wife went on a trip to Turkey，they were told that _.Ait was difficult to travel in Turkey Bit was not easy to drive in TurkeyCthe streets in Turkey were dangerous Dthere were many mountainous roads6Which of the following is TRUE，according to the first paragraph?APlaces in mountain areas were difficult to reach.BThe couple drove for 12 days during their journey.CThe Turkish drivers had good manners.DIt was difficult to eat meals in Turkey.7The underlined word “He” in Paragraph 3 refers to _.Aevery one of usBthe governmentCthe president of TurkeyDthe lucky child8What can be inferred from the passage?AThe couple had no difficulty making their way in Turkey.BTurkeys Childrens Day falls on the 22nd of April.CThe author joined in celebrating Childrens Day.DOn Turkeys Childrens Day everyone was busy C The number of overweight people around the world is increasing. For example, in China the number rose from 9 percent to 15 percent between 1989 and 1992. The increases in Latin America and Europe were similar. However, the most worrying statistic is the increase in the number of overweight children. In America, almost 33 percent of children under five are overweight. In some parts of Europe, the rate is almost 30 percent. Even developing countries have problems. In Egypt, Chile and Armenia, for example, the rate is over 5 percent. The problem is the change in our diets combined with the change in our lifestyles. We used to eat whole grains, vegetables, and fruit. Now we eat foods that contain a lot of fat and sugar. Experts(专家) say that it isnt surprising that people eat too much of the wrong foods. Everywhere we look there are advertisements for high-calorie, high-fat foods. These foods are low in nutrition but also low in cost. In other words, they may not be good for us, but they are really cheap. Some experts call this a toxic-food(有毒的食品) environment. Most of us do not realize this unhealthy environment. Therefore, we believe if we are fat, its our responsibility. This is not completely true. Today, many food companies are focusing on developing countries. In 1998, one soft-drink company told its employees that Africa is a land of chance for us. The largest American fast-food company opens five new restaurants every day; four of them are located outside the United States. It is terrible to think that we may soon live in a world where everyone eats fast food and drinks soda. However, it is not unavoidable. Governments should educate their people about the dangers of eating the wrong food. This is particularly important for tomorrows adults.9. The numbers in Paragraph 1 are used to show .A. the overweight problem B. the increase in populationC. the effects of being overweight D. the problems in developing countries10. It can be inferred from the text that food advertisements .A. cause food prices to rise B. often give people useful informationC. affect the development of the food industry D. are partly responsible for overweight people11. What is the text mainly about?A. Advertisements and life. B. Being overweight and its reasons.C. Modern lifestyles and their effects. D. Being overweight and the environment.DNowadays，parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen.Because this doesnt happen to only one specific family，many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence (暴力）on television.Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home.Although they have lots of homework，they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV，they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends，playing outdoor sports，or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV.Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV.In addition，there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children.Finally，people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all，the government should regulate TV violence.It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch.For example，with a rating system(分级制度) and the Vchip，unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out.Second，parents should monitor what their children watch.At the same time，they should make their children interested in real life activities.Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books，parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago.Moreover，violent incidents occur more frequently in real life.Its time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is，and its time to keep our children from watching violence.12What experts really worry is that _.Achildren spend too much time watching TV BTV violence has a bad influence on childrenCchildren become addicted to TV programsDchildren have less time to do their homework13The author explain how the government should control TV violence by _.Agiving an example Bgiving a definitionCmaking a comparison Dpresenting research findings14What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean？_AExplain.BCopy. CIgnore.DAvoid.15What is the authors purpose for writing this text？_ATo express his own worries about TV violence.BTo ask parents to take good care of their children.CTo inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.DTo call on the whole society to save children from violence.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）(答案图答题卡7175)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。It seems that there is never enough time in the day.
