But recently a Britains Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views completely.Simon Cowell, one of the organizers of the talent show spoke of his surprise over Ms Boyles voice. “This lady came up, and Im thinking, This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction（反应）and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.The performance was posted online and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hadnt thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, its meaningless.” She added.Ms. Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her musical talents. “ I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and therefore it built my confidence.29.

Children need two or three kinds of vegetables every day.A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our habit, they may start eating vegetables. Dont say things like, “if you eat your vegetables, you can have desserts.” These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your children new varieties(多样性) which will help her or him develop a taste for trying new things. Sometimes the simple things just dont work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, it will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables. Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and assemble (集合) a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping（浸）vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the uncooked vegetables. If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldnt lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions Ive listed will help to turn that around. In the end, youre not just getting them to eat vegetables, you are helping them to live a healthier lifestyle. 33. According to the text, all the following ways to get children to eat vegetables are creative EXCEPT .A. making vegetables much sweeterB. putting cheese on top of vegetablesC. preparing carrots in an attractive wayD. adding some cheese sauce to vegetables34. If you want your children to develop the habit of eating vegetables, you should .A. be very patient to themB. set an example to themC. give dessert to them as an awardD. cut vegetables into different types35. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A. Children need to eat vegetables every dayB. Parents should help children live a healthy lifestyleC. Sugar can make children keep a healthy lifestyleD. It is necessary to think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables36. The best title of this passage would probably be “ .”A. Vegetables Are Important for ChildrenB. Few Children Like Eating Vegetables C. Different Kinds of Vegetables for Children D. How to Make Your Children Eat VegetablesDWhat is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimistic(乐观的), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists（心理学家）tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(喜好) as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among those facts, that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colors do influence our moods. There is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. And a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area until it was repainted green. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.37. If you enjoy life, one is sure to prefer .A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. red to grey D. blue to yellow38. Those who tend to be pessimists preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of _. A. its shapeB. its structureC. its color D. its building materials39. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Peoples preference of one color to another is instinct.B. Peoples preference of one color to another is learned as we grow up.C. More people love brown because they saw brown when they were born.D. Colors have little influence on our moods.40. If the bridge over the Thames River near London is painted in pink, perhaps the number of suicides will _. A. rise a lotB. fall quite a lotC. be the same as beforeD. become larger第卷 （主观题 共45分）四、单词拼写（本大题共10分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。1.
