It usually blooms (开花) in March and April. You can enjoy the beautiful peach blossoms in almost any place of China, east or west, south or north. But if you want to find something special, you may go to Nyingchi in Tibet. There you can see a sea of pink at the foot of snow-covered mountains under a blue sky.The peach blossom, with its beauty, has won the hearts of visitors as well as many Chinese poets and writers. From Chinas first book of poetry, the Classic of Poetry, to the many poems of the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom is usually connected to beautiful young ladies. As one famous poem goes, In this house on this day last year a pink face vied; In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side. The peach blossom makes people think of the flush on a shy womans face.Chinese people often say to have peach blossom luck. It means being lucky in love.

I drank between six and eight bottles of soft drink, mostly cola, every day, he told The Advertiser newspaper in Australia.Kennewells family warned him about it, but he never listened. And here is what happened he is only 25, but as of last month, he lost all of his teeth, thanks to this sweet drink which you probably like too.The harm Coke can do to teeth comes from the sugar, acid and dye (色素) in it, according to the website Live Strong.Many people think that drinks dont harm their teeth because they seem to pass through them so quickly. However, the sugars from these drinks cause bacteria (细菌) to grow in the mouth, causing tooth cavities (蛀牙) over time. Too much sugar can also lead to diabetes (糖尿病) and heart problems.Besides sugar, soft drinks like Coke all have phosphoric acid (磷酸), an acid also used in factory cleaning products. It gradually breaks down your teeth and leaves you with a mouthful of bad teeth and serious toothache.Where does Coke get its deep brown color?It comes from a dye. And if this dye can give color to the drink, it can also turn your teeth yellow. Of course, yellow teeth dont actually harm your health, but can you bear(忍受) the ugly sight of them?62. With the example of William Kennewell, the writer wants to show that _.A. drinking water is important for healthB. drinking sweet drinks can cause teeth problemsC. more people are having teeth problemsD. young people care little about their health63. Soft drinks are bad in the following ways EXCEPT _.A. they can cause bacteria to grow easily on your handsB. they can cause tooth cavitiesC. people may develop diabetesD. they can lead to heart diseases64. Paragraph 5 mainly talks about _.A. how sugar does harm to teethB. what people use in factory cleaning productsC. another bad thing in soft drinks acidD. why people should eat less sugar65. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _.A. Coke mainly comes from a thing called dyeB. not all Coke is the color brownC. yellow teeth are not good for peoples healthD. drinking too much Coke may make teeth yellow第卷 （非选择题 60 分）五、词汇应用（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，计 10 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。（每空一词）66.

However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.First, you have to pay more attention to your diet. Have more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk. Its good for your eyes. Besides, a regular amount of Vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.Second, you must have a regular and sound sleep. It relaxes the eye muscles (肌肉) and gives them the rest required. Sleep can help the body to repair its tired tissues (组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eyes.Next, its necessary for you to exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods to make the eyeballs watery, and give them a good wash.Last, you should use your eyes correctly. Fox example, if a small thing goes into your eye, dont start rubbing it. Rubbing is harmful to your eyes. Dont read or write in poor or bright sunlight because sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Remember to use sunglasses to stop the sunshine from shining directly into your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on the computer can also make your eyes tired, so a good rest is needed.Take care of Gods most beautiful gift!_76_ to keep your eyes healthyDietEating food that is good for your eyes _77_ fresh fruits and vegetables._78_a proper amount of Vitamins regularly.SleepHaving a regular and _79_ sleep is a must.Getting enough sleep is necessary.Eye exercisingHaving your eyes _80_every day.Blinking your eyes at regul
