perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. even at the age of 22, i had gone through my share of dieting.i am an emotional eater and i knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, i wasnt at my healthiest. my mother had been doing weight watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results. i took my mothers advice about weight watchers. she shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily point target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! the longer i stuck to it, the more i noticed a difference in the way i enjoyed food. i soon began to like eating fruit and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. my mother and i went on walks together and kept each other in check. unsurprisingly, i lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.i bought healthy food instead of ice creams and faithfully kept a food journal. i exercised on my wii fit and took evening walks. since i had a hard time finding something healthy to eat, i bought a weight watchers cookbook and used it to prepare our meals. i used small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there was more food than the serving size.now im 28 and weigh 120 pounds, but i still need to lose some weight. i know the challenge is worthwhile. i must insist on it and tomorrow is another day.51. whats the writers purpose in writing this passage?a. to tell us about wii fit.b. to advise us to keep healthy.c. to tell us how she lost weight.d. to advertise weight watchers.52. the underlined part in paragraph 2 shows that the writer _.a. was on a dietb. looked fat c. was very talld. was healthy53. the writer bought a weight watchers cookbook so that _.a. she could enjoy what she really likedb. she could eat more food than the serving sizec. she could make more delicious meals for her familyd. she could make sure what she ate was healthy54. what do you know after reading the passage?a. the writer has make a great effort to lose weight.b. the writer doesnt have strong will power.c. the writer doesnt believe she can look amazing.d. the writer doesnt know how to cook.bto err is human. to blame the other guy is even more human.common sense is not all that common.why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?these three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .to err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people dont want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. they naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. perhaps it is the natural thing to do .the original quote about human nature went like this:” to err is human, to forgive is divine(神圣的).”this saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others mistakes. instead, we tend to do the opposite find someone else to pass the blame on to. however, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.common sense is what we call clear thought. having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. people say that in a large company,“ the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”and what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? one of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that its okay not to be totally honest all the time. there is a corollary(直接推论) to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isnt honest, then where is the place of the truth?55. according to the passage, which of following seems the most human?a. to search for truth b. to achieve ones idealc. to make fun of others mistakes d. to criticize others for ones own error.56. according to the author, what is a sign of a mans maturity?adoing things his own way. b. bearing responsibility for his mistakes.cmaking as few mistakes as possible d. thinking seriously about his wrongdoings.57. what is the authors opinion about a good excuse?a. making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.b. inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.c. a good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.d. bitter truth is better than a good excuse.58. what would be the best title for this passage?a. a mirror of human nature b. to blame or to forgivec. a mark of maturity d. truth or excusecvoip stands for voice over internet protocol. it is also referred to as ip telephony. it is another way of making phone calls, though the phone part is not always present any more, as you can communicate without a telephone set. voip is especially popular with long distance calls. the main reason for which people are so massively turning to voip technology is the cost. voip is said to be cheap, but most people use it for free. yes, if you have a computer with a microphone and speakers, and a good internet connection, you can communicate using voip for free.there are basically three ways of using voip. one is to have a pc on both communicating sides; another is to have a phone on one side and a pc on the other and the third is to have two phones. voip is a relatively new technology and it has already achieved wide acceptance and use. there is still a lot to improve and it is expected to have major technological advances in voip in the future. it has so far proved to be a good candidate for replacing the pots (plain old telephone system). it, of course, has drawbacks along with the numerous advantages it brings; and its increasing use worldwide is creating new considerations surrounding its regulations and security. the growth of voip today can be compared to that of the internet in the early 90s. the public is getting more and more conscious of the advantages they can get from voip at home or in their businesses. advertising campaigns, which are present everywhere on the net, are contributing a lot towards the popularization of voip which not only gives facilities and allows people to save, but also producing huge income for those who dived early into the new phenomenon. 59.the author writes the passage mainly to _.a. ask readers to buy the new type of production.b. tell us how fast the modern technology is developing.c. introduce a new type of ip technology-voip.d. teach the readers how to use voip.60.we can infer from the text that _.a. voip will soon be more popular b. the internet will be replaced soon by voipc. most users are not sure of the quality of the present voipd. voip is a new technology comparatively61. the underlined word “drawbacks” in the third paragraph most likely means_.a. disadvantages b. advantages c. side effects d. benefits62. we can feel that the writer was _because of the growth of technology while writing the passage.a. tense b. worried c. calm d. admiringdfebruary 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising nba star-jeremy lin.among professional basketball players, jeremy lins background is not typical. he graduated from harvard university, which sends few players to the nba, and he is the only chinese-american nba player. but when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. he moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.lins enjoyment of basketball actually began in taiwan. when lins father moved to u.s., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. the young lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.in high school, lin dreamed of playing in the nba. when he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. however, after his admission to harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.during lins time at harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. he scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in ivy league history. when he graduated, no professional teams offered lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the nba summer league. he played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the golden state warriors. at first，playing in professional games filled lin with excitement. he treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on tv for years. but slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. in a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the new york knicks picked him up. but he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. then his moment arrived on february 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. after that, he led the knicks to their fifth straight victory. the associated press called lin the most surprising story in the nba. knicks fans developed the nickname for him linsanity (林发疯）. time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 most influential people in the world, jeremy lin included. no doubt, lin fever is continuing to spread if you havent already caught linsanity, get ready.63. what does the phrases wore off in seventh paragraph probably mean? a. arose b. disappeared c. grew d. remained64. which of the following statemen
