on this topicrao12-18-08so far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.sai12-19-08man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. if we look at the animal kingdom,we can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齿的）structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian by birth. it is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.the vegetarian foods are easily digestible.santos12-20-08non-veg food items are better than veg items. a healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. the only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.krishna01-03-09when we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. the chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. so non-veg food by logic（逻辑）is better and suited for hauman beings.khan01-05-09non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系统）stronger. do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!25according to rao, what is the problem with veg food? ait damages our immune system. bit has few nutrients. cit is lacking in protein. dit contains too much omega26in the opinion of sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans_. abelong to the plant-eating animal family bbelieve that veg foods are good for their teeth chave the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals dcan adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals27what advice is given by santos? ato have a saily veg+ meat diet. b. not to eat food without protein. cto eat digestible food every day. dnot to eat non-veg food every day.c my morning routine varies little from day to day. i walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with katie and matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. and because i work mostly from home, i have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for psychological well-being. so before i begin attempting to put sentences together, i walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter. the coffee shop is on the other side of the historic chesapeaker & ohio canal from my house. whenever in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to india, at least into the 19th century. one warm day last fall, i turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. he was playing the violin. the scene stopped me in my tracks. what i witnessed could only be described as a perfect moment. ten seconds at most. but months later i still remember just standing there, watching, listening, and taking it all in. we all have such moments put before us. little surprises. whether were wise enough to see them is another thing. i thought of the violin man one sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the columbia incident. the specialist laurel clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it wasblissfulto see the simple unexpected wonders of space, like a sunset. “theres a flash; the whole payload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “it only lasts about 15 seconds, and then its gone.” i once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because i never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. it could come in the middle of a particularly lively dinner with old friends. out of the blue, shed say, “stop! i want to remember this moment.” i realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is.28. the author goes out for a walk every day in the morning mainly because_. a. she needs to walk the dog and enjoy the fresh air b. she considers that it is good for her physical health c. she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world d. she hates to be left alone at home when others are out29. the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 5 probably means_. a.valuable b. enjoyable c. agreeable d. reasonable30. the main purpose of the passage is to tell people to _. a. develop a good habit b. enjoy life to the fullest c. be willing to follow friends advice d. catch the valuable moments in life 31. “i” in the passage is probably a _. a. violinist b. tourist c. writer d. waiterd reading for pleasure is declining among primary-age pupils, and increasing numbers of time poor parents are dropping the practice of sharing bedtime stories with their children once they start school. research presented to a conference last week found that, while parents read to preschoolers , this later tails off, and by the final year of primary school only around 2% read to their children every day. once children can read skillfully, parents tend to step back, and this usually happens at the age of seven or eight. the report also found that 82% of teachers blame the governments target-driven education policies for the fact that fewer children are reading for pleasure. they believe that a straitjacket (束缚) of strictly organized schooling is containing young peoples ability to read more widely. two-thirds of teachers surveyed said they lacked time in the school day to introduce a variety of books and that this was a major obstacle to being able to develop a level of reading. teachers also cited as main factors the reduction in the number of school librarians, who could put interesting books before children, and the rise in screen time, switching children from reading to playing games. the majority of teachers said the curriculums (课程) emphasis on reading as a skill to be mastered was increasing the pressure. this was compounded by parents who saw reading just as a focus of learning, a skill critical to career advancement in a competitive world. reading habits and the digital revolution in publishing were key topics of debate at the conference. the theme of the lack of british culture was supported by childrens writer frank cottrellboyce, who wrote the scripts(手稿) for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 olympics. “we discovered the whole nation had forgotten that they did the industrial revolution, he said.books are so central to it; books can be written by anyone. a lot of the pleasure of a book is listening to somebody read it to you. we found a real love of reading among teachers, and a strong desire ,to encourage more children to read for pleasure ,”said rob cheney, however ,the teachers also had an overpowering sense of frustration with their situation. touch-screen phone and tablets (平板电脑）are naturally attractive to children, the survey said, and predicted a period of awkwardness as everyone else adapts. by 2018, childrens television will have adopted the presence of this second screen ,and it will be strange not to have children ,at home drawing along on tablets and then having these appearing live in the show . the hope is “that user-friendly screens could, if material is adapted and downloaded easily, present an opportunity for more ambitious publishing - for example, books children can either read or choose to have read to them; or digital books with moving pictures instead of photos to clarify factual and scientific points. parental controls that are easy to use would be key, the conference was told, such as a warning for when devices use the wi-fi, especially after bedtimes, to allow parents to shut off access to children in the home.32.which of the following is not teachers point of view? a. children are prevented from reading widely enough in school. b. school libraries cant provide good books for lack of money. c. playing video games reduces childrens time spent on reading. d. schools pay attention to reading skills instead of reading for fun.33.the word compounded ( paragraph 4) most probably means _. a.improved b. preserved c. reduced d. worsened 34.it can be inferred from the article that _ . a. british people enjoyed reading books very much in the past b. children dont like reading because books are not attractive c. teachers forbid their students to read more books for fun d. children should enjoy more freedom to use the wi-fi at home35. what is the passage mainly about? a. parents should set a limit to their childrens using electric devices at home. b. children miss out on pleasures of reading a good book in modern life. c. children are encouraged to read as many interesting books as they can. d. experts appeals to the government to reduce the heavy burden on children.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.
