a. he graduated from a university there. b. he was kindly requested to stay by the locals. c. he was attracted by the small village. d. he wanted to solve a health problem there.30. what was the problem with the iron bar for treating anaemia? a.it could easily make food go bad. b. people found other uses for it. . c. it didn t release enough iron. d. people couldn t afford it.31. how did the local people feel about using the iron fish? a. pleased b bored. c. puzzled. d. shocked. 32. what does charles mean by his words in the last paragraph? a. the iron fish can be used for treating anaemia worldwide. b. a treatment does not work unless it is acceptable. c. fish is an important part of cambodian culture.d. anaemia is not so serious as people think.dwhat makes one person have more accidents than another? most people would saythat it s to do with taking risks .take fewer risks and youll have fewer accidents. but is taking risks really a matter of choice?some experts believe that whether or not you take risks in life has a lot to do with your upbringing and, some believe, with your birth order. parents are often stricter and more careful with their first child, and so first-born children tend to grow up taking fewer risks . parents are often more relaxed with a second or third child, so these children tend to take more risks.but why do children tend to have more accidents than adults? during childhood the bodygrows very quickly. there seem to be periods in these years when our brain and body are at different stages of development. our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are, so we knock things over; our legs are longer than the brain believes, so we trip over easily.besides, the research suggests that the more time a child spends watching tv, the less they are developing their physical co-ordination (协调）skills. it gives the child a false sense of how the world works and of how much danger it contains. if a child doesnt run around a lot,they dont begin to understand that the world is full of physical risk. so, what about adults? some studies have shown that life in this world is a little difficult for left-handed people. as we know, we live in a right-handed world. everything from cars to door handles, from children s toys to engineering tools and equipment is made by right-handed people. therefore, left-handed children and adults are more likely to have accidents because the modern world is not designed for them.33. different from the first child, a second one tends to _ .a. become ill more easily b. have more accidents c. learn more quickly d. make more friends34. by saying our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are, the author means that _ . . a. it is very easy for children to take risks b. our brain develops faster than the arms do c. children often do more exercises than adults d. it is important to give children a balanced diet 35. which of the following may have more accidents? a. right-handed people. b. children who often run around. c. left-handed people. d. children who seldom watch tv . 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。 how can you improve your english?there are many things that you can do to improve your english. 36 here are some tips on how to improve your english. take a classfirst, decide whether you want to join in an english class. 37 no matter where the class is offered, it is best if it is taught by a person whose first language is english.use learning tools38 if you cannot afford to buy them, you might be able to borrow them from your local library or find free versions（版本）that you can download over the internet.keep readingas you become more comfortable reading english, be sure to read things other than instructional materias（教学材料） 39 choose those you are especially interested in. in that case it will increase your motivation(动机) to read. 40 if you want to improve your english vocabulary, it can be helpful to learn a few new words at a time.for example, you could learn one new word every few days and look for opportunities to use them in conversation. in a word, the more you practice the language, the more likely you are to improve your english.a. one word at a timeb. use english in publicc. this kind of class is usually expensive.d. these classes are available in many parts of the world.e. for example, reading books and news in english every day.f.there are many products that you can use to improve your english. g. one of the best things to do is to read, write and speak english as much as possible.第三部分：英语知识运用（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,从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (a. b.c和d)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。a man and his girlfriend got married. it was a large celebration. everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was 41 . .some months later, the wife, said to the 42 “i read in a magazine about how we canstrengthen our 43 . each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with 44 person. then, we can talk about how we can 45 them together and make our lives happier together.”the husband 46 so each of them went to a separate room and thought of the things that 47 them about the other.the next moming, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would 48 their lists.“ill start,” offered the wife.she took out her list. it had 49 items on it. as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she 50 that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes. “whats wrong?” she asked.“ 51 ,” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”the wife continued to read 52 she had read all the three pages. she carefully placed her list on the 53 and crossed her hands on top of it.“now, you read your list and then well talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said 54 .quietly the husband said,“i dont have anything on my list. i think you are 55 as you are. you are lovely and wonderful. i dont want you to 56 anything for me.”the wife, touched by the depth of his love for her and his 57 of her, turned her head and wept（流泪）.we have a wonderful 58 that is full of beauty, light and promise. why 59 time looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can 60 us and see the wonderful things surrounding us?
