Take a child under six into the park for free.(B)A new TV series in England, Away from it all, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success withyoung people across the country. Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles ofpeople who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today. There are also nostressful moments, busy offices or crowded cities. Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about peoples kindness.The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. They saythat watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the stress of exams and homework, andthe troubles that fill the world today. They also say that its a good sign of todays young people switching to (转到) happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world.Although the series success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried, however. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes (终日泡在电视机前的人) and areusing Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework. Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding stressful situationscompletely.And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor of education, says that TV can influencechildrens lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts strongly, its likely that there are other reasons for hischange in behaviour. She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests thatparents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life.4. The success of the series shows that young people would like _. A. a world with no homework B. English TV series C. relaxing jobs D. a happier and healthier world5. The success of the new TV series is surprising because .A. it is different from other successful TV seriesB. it is the same as other successful TV seriesC. it is about the English countrysideD. it is about life in busy office6. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. There is some action in the TV series.B. The programme is about busy offices. C. Many teachers and parents are worried that it will influence childrens studies.D. TV is different from real life.(C)We all like watching online videos of dogs and cats doing funny things. But if you had to decide, which of the two animals would you say you might like better? Your answer may say something about your personality.According to a 2010 study led by Sam Gosling, a scientist at the University of Texas, US, dog people are about 15 percent more outgoing and 13 percent more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.This is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes, they will give up the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like catching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog Magazine.Although cat people are less social, Goslings study showed that they are 11 percent more open-minded than dog people. They usually like art, adventures(冒险) and unusual ideas. They also have more imagination and curiosity. But dog people are more likely to stick to old beliefs and traditional interests.However, their love of a free lifestyle also means that cat people dislike making plans. They just follow whatever ideas pop into their heads without planning ahead. But dog people are different. They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.Despite these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.But can personality change? Can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? In a study done by Stanley Coren, a scientist based in Canada, he asked cat owners: “If you had enough living space and there were no objections from other people in your life, and someone gave you a puppy as a gift, would you keep it?”About 68 percent of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. But when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten, almost 70 percent said they would allow a cat into their lives.7. According to the article, dog people _ cat people.A. perform better in school than B. are more open-minded than C. have closer friends than D. are more traditional than 8. The underlined phrase “engage in” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. take little interest in B. take part in C. benefit from D. suffer from 9. What do cat people and dog people have in common? -_.A. Both of them like planning ahead B. Both of them love travelling and adventuresC. Both of them are imaginative and curious D. Both of them care about nature.10. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?A. Cat people are more likely to become dog people.B. Dog people are more likely to accept cats into their homes than cat people are to accept dogs.C. Neither dog nor cat people like to accept a new pet.D. It is difficult to find out whether dog people or cat people will make a change.四、词汇知识（15分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。1.

But this is not how chocolate comes to us. In fact, it comes from the cacao tree that is found in the tropical(热带的) forests of Central and South America, because cacao beans need to grow in a hot and humid climate (湿热的气候) . The Mayas knew that they could get food and drink from the tree. The Aztecs often took the cacao beans and broke them into pieces in hot water, making a drink that was delicious and energy-producing for the body. When Columbus and Cortez came to America, they shipped cacao beans back to Spain. However, at first few people would like to try the drink because the taste was strange. When Columbus gave the information back to the Spanish Queen and King that one cup of chocolate from the cacao beans could provide a whole days energy for a man without the need for other food, attitudes(态度) quickly changed. The need and the cost for chocolate produced by the cacao beans rose sharply. Soon all Europeans had fallen in love with chocolate. But chocolate was so expensive at that time that only the riches could afford this confection (甜食). At first, too much chocolate made people sick because more than half of the cacao bean is formed from fat, and few people knew how to remove the too much fat content(脂肪含量). Perhaps that is how we arrived at the expression, “Too much of a good thing can be bad for you.”Places 2 of chocolateFunctionCentral and South AmericaIt comes from the cacao tree that is found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, because a hot and humid climate is 3 for the growth of cacao beans.The 7 got food and drinkfrom the tree.The Aztecs often took the cacao beans and broke them into pieces in hot water, making a drink that was 8 andenergy-producing for the body.
