a. they burn many calories every day.b. they eat food with lots of calories.c. they dont take any weight loss pills. d. they eat the wrong foods at the wrong time. 26. the article is written in order to _. a. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat foodb. tell readers about an important scientific discoveryc. tell readers how to lose weight d. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy 27. to realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should _. a. do exercise every dayb. eat meals at the right time c. eat fruits and vegetablesd. eat low-fat or sweet food e. eat the proper foods at each meala. a, b, c, e b. a, b, d, e c. a, c, d, e d. a, b, c, dcmark twains real name is samuel langhorne clemens. why is the man born as samuel clemens more widely known as mark twain? it has something to do with his love of the mississippi river, and his time as a pilot of the great steamboats. mark twain was an old term used on the river. it meant that the water was two fathoms or twelve feet deep, which meant it was safe. this term was first used as a personal name by captain isaiah sellers, an old, knowledgeable man. he liked to send his advice and opinion to local newspapers, where he named himself mark twain. in 1861, clemens wrote a very funny story about sellers. the story was for clemens own, and other pilots amusement. however, a man named bart bowen gave it to one of the new orleans newspapers. captain sellers saw and read the piece, and was deeply hurt by it. he never published his opinion again, and clemens felt bad about the part he had played in this. in 1863, clemens was out west, in carson city. he heard that sellers had passed away. then he decided to use the name, mark twain, for himself. soon, clemens became known as mark twain, on paper and in real life. in fact, he liked to be a steamboat pilot so much that he never considered any other profession. but in the civil war, the use of all riverboats had to stop. taking the boat back home on the mississippi river was his last trip that had anything to do with his life as a pilot.28. what is this passage about?

a. sellers passed away soon after. b. clemens felt sorry for what he had done. c. clemens quickly became famous. d. sellers criticized clemens in the newspaper.31. what can we infer from the passage? a. clemens was present when sellers passed away.b. mark twain is still used as a term on the river today. c. mark twains last steamboat trip was in world war ii.d. clemens preferred being a pilot to any other profession.dimagine going camping for over a week with several of your close friends. you would make sure you have plenty of food and things to cook and eat with. the food would have to be stored properly to prevent spoilage (变质). after finishing your meal, or at the end of your camping trip, you would then put away all the things and throw away the trash properly. astronauts basically do the same thing when they go into space. the preparation of food is different, depending on the food type. some food can be eaten in its natural form, such as fruit. other food needs water to be added to it, such as spaghetti. of course, an oven (烤箱) is provided in the spaceship and the space station to heat food to the proper temperature. there are no refrigerators in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to prevent spoilage. there is salt and pepper in the spaceship but only in liquid (液体的) form. this is because astronauts cant put salt or pepper on their food in the normal way in space. the salt and pepper would simply float away. there is a danger that they could get into the equipment or get stuck in an astronauts eyes, mouth or nose. astronauts eat three meals a day breakfast, lunch and dinner. when astronauts finish eating, they must throw the packaging (包装袋) away in a special trash container inside the spaceship. some packaging actually prevents food from flying away. the food packaging is designed to be flexible (灵活的) and easy to use, as well as to save space for other activities.32. we can learn from the passage that the food preparation for a camping trip _. a. has some similarities to that for a space trip b. needs many people to doc. is much easier than that for a space trip d. is very troublesome33. which of the following cant be seen in a spaceship?

a. astronauts eat more than three meals a day.b. food in a spaceship is prepared according to its type.c. the food packages in a spaceship should be big.d. most food in a spaceship needs water to be added to it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2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。how tostop sleeping in class?sleeping in class prevents you from paying attention to the teacher as well as stops you from learning about the material that is being taught. it can also get you in trouble with your teachers. it is important to determine why you are falling asleep in class and try to change the situation so that you are able to stay awake and pass all of your classes. 36 37 it is reported that teenagers may need more sleep than adults. go to bed earlier and,make sure you get as many hours of sleep as your body needs. this is a key to staying awake in class. if you are not tired, you are unlikely to fall asleep.eat a healthy breakfast full of nutritious foods. 38 if you get hungry or tired in the middle of the day, try eating a healthy snack likea piece of fruit or some biscuits.get involved during class. 39 taking notes, asking questions and otherwise getting involved in classroom activities and discussions will make you far less likely to doze off. 40 if you have a medical condition that is causing you to fall asleep in class, it will need to be treated by a professional. prescription drugs may also cause sleepiness as a side effect, so discuss any medicine you are taking with your doctor. a. early to bed and early to rise. b. get a full nights sleep on school nights.c. enough sleep helps a lot in your studies. d. it can provide you with enough protein to fuel your body.e. there are a number of different tricks you can use to try to stay awake.f. if you actively listen to the information the teacher is pressing, you are less likely to sleep.g. contact your doctor in order to rule out medical conditions that can cause you to fall asleep.第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c、和d)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。on a saturday morning, a seemingly homeless old man slowly walked into the restaurant with the help of his cane (拐杖). his old jacket, patched (带补丁的)trousers and 41 shoes made him stand out from the crowd. a 42 watched him walk toward a table by the window. she 43 to him, and said, here, sir. let me give you a 44. without saying a word, he just 45. holding him with one hand, she pulled the chair away from under the table with 46, and helped him move in front of the chair so he could be seated 47 . then she leaned his cane against the table where he could 48 it. in a clear voice he said, thank you, miss. youre 49 , sir, she replied. my name is mary. if you need 50 , just wave at me! after he had finished his meal and paid the bill, mary brought him the 51 from the counter. she helped him up from his chair, 52 him his cane, and helped him walk to the front 53 . holding the door open for him, she said, come back again, sir! he turned and nodded a thank you. you are very 54 ,he said softly. when mary went to 55 the table, she was shocked. under the plate she found a 56 written on a napkin（餐巾） and a one-hundred-dollar bill. the note read: dear mary, your behaviour shows you have 57 the secret of happiness. your kindness will shine through those who 58 you. it turned out that the man she had 59 just now was the owner of the restaurant. this was the first 60 that she, or any of his employees(员工)had ever seen him in person.41. a. clean b. worn c. beautiful d. expensive42. a. waitress b. waiter c. guest d. cook43. a. rushed out b. moved over c. turned over d. ran over44. a. table b. look c. hand d. seat45. a. walked b. smiled c. wondered d. explained46. a. the other b. another c. one d. others47. a. closely b. comfortably c. happily d. completely48. a. hide b. reach c. pack d. discover49. a. polite b. content c. welcome d. ready50. a. it b. anything c. everything d. nothing51. a. change b. cane c. jacket d. menu52. a. moved b. handed c.placed d. held53. a. hall b. room c. door d. step54. a. kind b. pretty c. serious d. cool55. a. place b. move c. cover d. clean 56. a. direction b. note c. mark d. sign57. a. proved b. searched c. expressed d. found58. a. disturb b. respect c. meet d. love59 .a. directed b. amused c. observed d. served60. a. lesson b. person c. day d. time第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。for many young people，going to university is 61 important stage of their livesit is the time when young people will move out of 62 (they)home to live with other people，often 63 (strange) 64 (especial)in the us，people often travel very far from home to stu
