a. accept.b. employ.c. play with.d. fight against.31. which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants? a. their behavior.b. their size.c. their number.d. their weightdchildren who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk(风险) of becoming nearsighted(近视的), new research suggests.in the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. the scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.the researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. the parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. the other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. after three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.it is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit childrens eyesight, the researchers said. however, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine(多巴胺) of the eye. in turn, dopamine is known to restrain(抑制) the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. however, its important to protect kids skin and eyes from uv light, which can be damaging.32. what did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?a. attend an extra class of outdoor activities.b. continue to do their usual activities.c. spend one hour in doing eye exercises.d. participate in outdoor activities with parents.33. what can be inferred about the chemical dopamine?a. it can contribute to poor sight.b. it can damage peoples brain.c. it is beneficial to eyesight.d. it means low levels of light intensity.34. what may be discussed in the following paragraph?a. how to design outdoor activities for kids.b. how to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.c. how to protect kids skin and eyes from uv light.d. how to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities.35. which can serve as the best title for the passage?a. the more time outdoors, the betterb. kids may see better if they play outsidec. its time to engage kids in outdoor activitiesd. researchers found a cure for nearsightedness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。tips for cooking on a tight schedule from my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 money is a topic ill save for another day. so today i want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: 1. think ahead. the moments when i think cooking is a pain are when im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. so think ahead of the coming week. when will you have time to cook? do you have the right materials ready? 37 2. make your time worth it. when you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. are you making one loaf of bread? 38 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. so save yourself the effort for a future meal. 3. 39 this may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. it gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. the more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule. hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!a. try new things. b. make three or four instead. c. ability is easily improved. d. understand your food better. e. cooking is a burden for many people. f. a little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on. g. let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. 第三部分： 语言知识运用 （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，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。i was at the bus stop, heading home after a long, busy day, when i served guests at a restaurant. suddenly, i realized id left behind my 41 with 80 worth of tips and one of my photos in it! i couldnt afford to 42 a days pay.when i ran back, the 43 was closed. so i had to tell myself: id try to 44 about it this evening.the next day was much 45 than the one before. i was already 46 five tables there, when a white-haired 47 sat down in my section(区域). no matter how 48 i was, i made sure to give them the best 49 i could. after their meal, i 50 them for their kindness. the couple(夫妇) had left the 51 by the time i picked up the tip. this wasnt right, i thought; there was much more than twenty dollars. it was too much for a tip. i 52 again; forty dollars!quickly, i 53 around to look for the couple. theyd left the restaurant. 54 , i went to the hostess. “did you see that 55 couple who once sat in my section leave?” i asked. “oh, they are my parents, and have gone home,” the hostess said. “they told me about you. yesterday they 56 your wallet. since you were very 57 just now, they let me give the wallet to you. by the way, they said they were very 58 with your service and gave you twice as much as a(n) 59 .” how kind they are! i will always try my best to 60 customers well in future.41. a. schoolbagb. suitcasec. walletd. coat42. a. loseb. finishc. wasted. spend43. a. stationb. schoolc. bankd. restaurant44. a. thinkb. forgetc. complaind. remember45. a. brighterb. busier c. luckierd. hotter46. a. putting awayb. taking away c. waiting ond. cleaning up47. a. manb. ladyc. coupled. stranger48. a. tiredb. happyc. relaxedd. calm49. a. placesb. dishesc. foodd. service50. a. paidb. thankedc. treatedd. accused51. a. cafeb. tablec. moneyd. scene52. a. includedb. bargainedc. checkedd. explored53. a. turnedb. traveledc. showedd. drove54. a. anywhereb. howeverc. recentlyd. finally55. a. goodb. honestc. friendlyd. aged56. a. set upb. put upc. picked upd. made up57. a. confusedb. angryc. busyd. sad58. a. satisfiedb. popularc. angryd. disappointed59. a. changeb. tipc. jobd. honor60. a. drawb. servec. win d. keep第ii卷（50分）第二节 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。table tennis, also 61._ (call) ping-pong, is played all around the world and is an olympic sport. it 62._ (play) on a table that is 2.74 meters by 1.525 meters and stands 76 centimeters from the ground. the net goes across the center of the table and is 15.25 centimeters high. it is very similar 63._ playing tennis on a court.the exact origin of table tennis is not known. 64._ we do know is that it 65._ (begin) in england in the 1890s. many peop
