How could they stay there? She wondered. Mary had not seen Mark for years, until the other day when he came into the caf where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didnt change Marys feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there. Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair. Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldnt help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along. Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said,“Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?” Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label(商标). “Thats not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says its Fly Trap Glue(胶水)!”21. We can learn from the text that _.A. Mark used to be a thin boy B. Mark had bought a new sports car for MaryC. Mark and Mary had been in love for years D. Mary felt strange when she saw the red car 22. The underlined word divert in Para 4 can be replaced by _. A. take B. concentrateC. replaceD. recover23. Why did Mary burst into laughter?A. Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her. B. Because Mary played a trick on Mark.C. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream. D. Because their ride wasnt well prepared.24.

Gary C Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises, according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mices belly by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long- term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the bodys nervous system. However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato fellows.Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose teams findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, “Im still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, “Its not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，“Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; its equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.”28. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?A. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.B. It doesnt take long to turn white fat into brown.C. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.D. Social excitement helps gain more weight.29. Which of the following statement does the text support?A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.B. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.C. The research findings havent been published so far.D. Dr Matthew During wasnt convinced of the result.30. We can conclude from the text that_.A. the fat in mices belly was reduced because of the relaxing environmentB. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence peoples social lifeC. surfing the Internet may influence peoples face-to-face communicationD. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life31. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Socializing contributes to peoples losing weightB. Socializing is unnecessarily important in peoples daily life.C. White fat can be changed into brown fat.D. Brown fat is beneficial to peoples health.DTodays children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesnt allow them to keep an eye on their children.On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you dont know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parents mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example, it is a bad thing for a 17-year- old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldnt be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldnt allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!32. The writer implies that parents busy lifestyle .A. makes their children become independent B. may lead to a tense parent child relationshipC. is likely to create a troubled generation D. is harmful to their childrens health33. What does the underlined word “lenient” (in Para 2) mean?A. Not satisfied. B. Not strict.C. Unkind.D. Unfair.34. It seems that the writer agrees that students .A. should stay at home on weekendsB. can wear trendy clothes at schoolC. had better wear school uniform at school D. can be allowed to go out in the evenings35. According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for childrens problems?A. The school. B. The educational system. C. Each family.D. The social environment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。The family is where a child learns words and their meanings. What you say and how you say it has an important effect on how your child will view himself and his world. 36 Their cries let the family know that they are hungry, tired or need to be held. The family is where a child learns to understand and to express his wants, needs, feelings, opinions, and ideas. Include your child in conversations from the very beginning. Help your child in conversation from the very beginning. Help him join in. At first the sounds are babbling(咿呀声). 37 Families who involve their children in conversation give their children important practice in communication and social skills, as well as a better chance for future success. 38 Talk about what you did, what you are doing, and what you plan to do. Provide your child with words for his feelings. Help him to state them. A child who can say, “I am disappointed”, or “I am really happy” can share more about his world. A child who can use words will feel more safe. Encourage your child to speak up and ask questions. 39 _40_From the time they are very strong, they can tell when adults are absent-minded or not listening. If they think their part of the conversation is being ignored, they become mad. Take the time to build communication within your family. Think about the words you use and take the time to truly listen to what is being said. A. Let your child talk on the phone. B. Give your child words for everything. C. Then slowly the child learns to join in. D. Focus on your communication with children. E. Young children especially like to see their words in print. F. This is a way to learn more about the world, and contribute to conversation.G. Babies communicate their needs and wants from the first moments of their life.第三节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football.
