There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal, if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food,. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasnt telling the truth. He was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.11. We have to develop good eating habits because_C_. A. we want to eat more B. we want to enjoy our meals C. we want to be healthy and strong D. we want to save time12. _D_ may take away our appetite before we have our meal. A. either meat or rice B. Neither sweets nor ice-cream C. Not only mat but also rice D. Both sweets and ice-cream13. We had better have our meals_B_. A. when our work is over B. at the same time each day C. when the meal is still hot D. when we go back home14. A man who is angry has _B_.A. a better appetite B. a poor appetite C. to eat more food D. to eat dry bread15. The judges in old England considered that a man could _D_ if he told a lie. A. swallow dry bread easily B. eat a lot of dry bread C. drink milk or hot water D. hardly wallow dry breadPassage 2When companies need new employees, they usually place advertisements in newspapers in order to attract as many applicants as possible. But many large well-known companies hire new people frequently without putting advertisements in newspapers, because they already have many resumes on file. Therefore, it is not always best to apply only to companies that place ads in newspapers. A person looking for a job is advised to send his resume with a cover letter to a well-known company even if a position is not then open, he can follow up with a telephone call to inquire if his resume has been received and if any jobs are available. If the company has not a job at that time, he can ask that they keep his material on file and contact him the future when something is available.Sometimes if a company is not hiring at the time, a letter explaining that a position is not currently available will be sent. If a person sends a letter and resume to a company that is not then hiring and later sees an advertisement in the newspaper for a job with that company, he should call the company to make certain they have his material on file and will consider him for the position. So, a person has nothing to lose and everything to gain by sending in his resume.16. What kind of companies are the best choices for a person to write to find a job? C A. Companies that place ads in newspapers. B. Small trading companies. C. Larger, well-known companies. D. The companies which are looking for new personnel now.17. Which of the following is not true?

Passage 3We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didnt even lift her eyes from the book.Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While Iwatched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mp past the desk and as the nurse looked up; Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.” “Yes. Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But arent you working late?” Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.” Outside, mum told me, “Kate is fine. No fever.” “You saw her, Mum?” “Of course.

Man, even five hundred years ago was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to braining about a physical change too：the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.26. The size of mans forehead will probably grow bigger because _A_. A. he will use his brain more and more B. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacity C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries D. he has not used 80% of the brain27. What is NOT true according to the text? B A. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years. B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. C. Mans hair will probably disappear. D. Mans arms and legs are likely to become weaker.28. What will be true about a human being in the future? A A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. C. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont use them.29. It is implied that _B_. A. human beings will become more attractive in the future B. body organs will become poorer if they are not used often C. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictable30. The passage mainly tells us that _D_. A. mans life will be different in the future B. man is growing shorter C. future man will look quite different from us now D. human beings organs will not function properly5. 短文理解1 I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary. For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagents is only 10 minutes walk away. Now I go on foot.I tell myself that Im not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. Its all a question of habit really. Im sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to. Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from town and then I would frequently drive t and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount. The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They dont seem so high to me any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the car.6. When the prices of gas doubled in this year, the author decided _C_.A. to go everywhere without a car B. only to take t
