easter, many people go to church to celebrate jesus resurrection（复活）from the dead. most people color ester eggs. some people hide them. others just eat them. but no matter what one does with easter eggs，they are an important easter tradition throughout the western world. people from many different cultures celebrate easter. in both america and belgium, children look for easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. in america, children believe the eggs are hidden by the easter bunny (兔子). but in belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. in bulgaria (保加利亚), red easter eggs are lucky in churches. bulgarian families also hit these easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. the winner looks forward to good fortune that year. still dozens of other easter traditions exist. in parts of austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.51. easter comes _.a. on the same date every year b. on sunday on march 22c. on sunday on april 25 d. on a sunday between march 22 and april 2552. to celebrate easter, people _.a. go shopping and hide colored eggsb. give each other easter baskets filled with candy and goodies c. buy new clothes, and children look for hidden colored eggsd. both b and c53. for christians the more important thing to do on easter is_.a. going to church to celebrate jesus resurrectionb. buying new clothesc. eating delicious food and paint color eggsd. exchange beautiful gifts each other54. people from different cultures have different ideas about easter egg. _.a. in both american and belgium, children hunt for easter eggs hidden in roomsb. in belgium, the hidden eggs are thought to have fallen from doorbellsc. in america, children believe the eggs are hidden by the easter bunnyd. in america, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from doorbellsbmany facts suggest that children are now overweight and the situation is getting worse according to the doctors, for which i feel there are a number of reasons.some people blame (责怪) the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. this has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. if there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less fat-giving food.there is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. i agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. if children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.there is a third reason for this situation. children these days take very little exercise. they do not walk to school. when they get home they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. what they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.the above are the main reasons from this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.55. according to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? a. those who often take exercise.b. those who often watch television. c. those who often have meals at home.d. those who often walk to school.56. the author thinks that children are becoming overweight mainly because _ . a. their parents often cook meals for themb. they are too busy to go out and play c. they cant choose what to eatd. therere too many fast food shops around57. the underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably means _ . a. forcingb. guidingc. drivingd. moving58. the main purpose of this passage is to _ . a. tell a storyb. provide data c. give adviced. compare opinionscsince many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. these are the questions i want to discuss with you today.first, lets talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. no matter what your major（专业） may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. in lectures, its very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. so it isnt enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. in a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. the discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. in large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.if your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, youll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. this means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. on the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.67. the main purpose of this text is .a. to persuade the students to attend lectures b. to encourage the students to take part in discussionsc. to advise the students to choose proper majors d. to help the students to learn about university life.68. we can learn from the passage that university professors .a. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week b. must join the students in the discussion sectionsc. require the students to read beyond the textbooks d. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures69. a discussion section does not include .a. talking over what the students have read about the coursesb. working under the guidance of university professorsc. discussing the problems related to the students homeworkd. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture70. according to the author, science majors .a. read and write less than non science majorsb. have to work harder than non science majorsc. spend less time on their studies than non science majorsd. consider experiments more important than discussionsda science teacher from prineville, oregon, in the pacific northwest, is the new national teacher of the year.michael geisen, 35 years old, was a forester. but he decided he would work with growing minds rather than with growing trees. seven years ago, he got a masters degree in teaching and a job at crook county middle school, where there are high rates of poverty (贫困).he brought new energy to the science department. he also created school projects to get parents involved (卷入) in their childrens work. one girl who was recently in his class said he could probably make it interesting to watch grass grow.during lunch, his students come to his room to talk, get help, visit his turtle and sometimes join him in playing the guitar. he writes songs and develops games about science. he says one of his goals as a teacher is to create people who will continue to learn throughout their lives.he says he tries to be creative with each activity. he does not like to use textbooks much. when students know that the work is local and useful to their lives, he says, they start to get interested.on june the first, michael geisen will begin a year as a spokesman for education. the father of two young children will travel the country and the world.the national teacher of the year program, a project of the council of chief state school officers, began in 1952. the winner is chosen from among state teachers of the year.last week the american government honored this years top teachers at the white house, where the president made it clear that in michael geisens first two years as head of the science department, scores on a state science test rose sharply at his school, which are still rising.63. what can we learn from the second paragraph? a. crookcounty plants trees everywhere. b. crookcounty is a rich county. c. michael geisen works hard in order to get a masters degree. d. michael geisen would rather be a teacher than a forester.64. from the fourth paragraph, what can we infer about michael geisen? a
