selling it?” she asked. “no,” i said. “ill just have to depend on my strong determination.” but when i arrived at the hospital, my little friend benton had been there again. i knew my promise would quickly disappear. because if benton had things his way, id always be eating a piece of candy from the bottomless bag he often shared with me.benton was an eight-year-old boy who was blind because of a kind of cancer, which caused him to live in the darkness, when he was fifteen months old. for the next twenty-six months, he was in and out of our hospital. for nearly four years, it seemed as though benton could beat the disease, until one friday afternoon in april 2011, when he developed a headache and lost movement on his right side. his mom rushed him to the hospital. over the next several months, benton came to our hospital many more times. each time he came, we would say hello, while benton answered the greeting by holding out a candy from his bag. so, on that first day of my diet, i went to his room and found benton lying in his bed, his eyes opened but not looking into this world. “we brought his candy bag with us. would you like to have some?” his mother asked.without thinking of my diet, i reached into the bag and pulled out the first piece my fingers touched. it was my favorite as if benton had saved one last piece for me. at home that evening, i answered a phone

to the local library for a research term. but now a host of websites are springing up provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.in one sense , these “how-to” sites represent（表明）a part of the growing world of online learning . this tradition found one of its earliest forms in the faqs or frequently asked questions files that began on usenet , the internets global , discussion group. these faqs , many of which still circulate（go round continuously）, took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices .but “how-to” sites take the faqs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that arent necessarily related to discussion forums（论坛）. these sites take the style of a written tutorial（teaching period）and a tone of friendly advice . possibly the biggest and best known of these sites in learn2com（）.it offers nearly 1000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview .at ehow .com （www . ehow . com ） you can learn how to train for your first marathon , how to buy a vacation home , or how to make a movie in eight steps .61the purpose of writing the passage is to .aintroduce new websites to

may keep the heart doctor away. thats the finding of an extensive study of dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.the dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.heart disease is the number-one killer in the united states, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. but researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than americans do. there are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the eskimos of greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.during the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. the fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the japanese or eskimos. this relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.66. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. the dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.b. there is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like japan and greenland.c. among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in america.d. heart doctors wont call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.67. the underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connection between _ and the incidence of heart disease.a. the amount of fish eaten b. regular fish-eating c. the kind of fish eaten d. people of different regions 68. the passage is mainly about _.a. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries b. the changes in peoples diet in the united statesc. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures d. the effect of fish-eating regularly on peoples health 69. why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the united states?a. the author doesnt give a definite answer.b. because american people drink too much spirits.c. because there are a great number of fat people there.d. because american people eat too much fatty fish.70. how many lives could probably be saved each year in the united states by eating fish according to the dutch study?a. 550, 000. b. 110,000. c. 275,000. d. 852.part writing （45 marks）section a（10
