40 分 第一节 共 15 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 30 分 A Christian Eijkman a Dutch doctor left the Netherlands for the island of Java Many people on the island had a disease called beri beri He was going there to try and find a cure At first Eijkman thought some kind of germ 细菌 caused beri beri He raised some chickens He didn t eat them but made experiments on them The local people were quite surprised at that One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice 精炼米 When he fed them with unrefined rice also known as brown rice they recovered Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease These things were named vitamins 维生素 The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins Later other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person s food Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat If they don t they can also take vitamin pills 56 The underlined word cure in Paragragh 1 probably means A a medical treatment B a kind of

B When I lived in Spain some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car before they left they asked me about how to find accommodation 住所 I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family My friends listened to my advice but they came back with some funny stories We didn t stay at bed and breakfast houses they said Because we found that most families were away on holiday I thought this was strange Finally I understood what had happened My friends spoke little English and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays because Spanish word for holiday is vacaciones So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said VACANCIES which in English meant there are free rooms Then my friends went to houses where the sign said NO VACANCIES because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday But they found that these houses were all full As a result they stayed at hotels We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs In Spanish a word very similar to DIVERSION means fun In English it means that workman is repairing the road and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign they thought they were going to have fun Instead the road ended in a large hole English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee I said Thank you in French I meant that I would like some more However to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away Later I found out that Thank you in French means No thank you 60 My Spanish friends wanted advice about A learning English B finding places to stay

rooms C not away on holiday D holidays 63 I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I A hadn t finished drinking my coffee B was expecting another cup of coffee C meant that I didn t want any more D was never misunderstood C Once a group of 17 year old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record 马拉松记录 They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six
