Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）Dear Sir / Madam, I am writing to complain about the TV advertisement for your product Cheese in a Tube. In my opinion, there is some false information in it, and it also encourages children to have bad eating habits.In the advertisement, there is a popular TV cartoon character who says that Cheese in a Tube is thebest cheese in the world. This is, of course, not true. However, I have two young children who love the cartoon character in the advertisement. Now they hope to eat the cheese every day. They believe that your cheese is the best in the world and they dont want any other kind.The cartoon character then says that Cheese in a Tube is good for young kids. Well, I checked the information on the packet. There certainly isnt very much cheese in your product - only 5% - and it has more fat and calories（热量） than chocolate! Its probably one of the unhealthiest things you can buy in the supermarket. Child obesity is a huge problem in our country. Our children are the fattest in the world, and products like yours just make things worse.Finally, the advertisement ends with two beautiful, slim, healthy-looking children sitting in front of the TV. Their mother calls them to come to the kitchen to eat a vegetable salad. The children say theyre watching their favourite cartoon - the same character who is in the advertisement, of course - so what does the mother do? She brings each of them some Cheese in a Tubel The parents eat their salad in the kitchen while the children enjoy the cheese in front of the TV! I believe that its good for children and parents to eat together, but obviously （明显地） your company doesnt.Please change this terrible advertisement. And why dont you start making healthier foods too?Yours sincerely, Maddy Moore69. Cheese in a Tube is a_.A) TV advertisement B) bad eating habitC) product of a company . D) cartoon character70.

The underlined word obesity in Paragraph 3 meansA) product B) program C）advertisement D)fatness73.

If you 75 the Moon closely on some nights, you can see the face of the Man in the Moon. Some people say that they can see an old man carrying sticks. Others say that they can see a girl reading a book. Long long ago, the Romans and Greeks thought that the stars and planets they could see were gods living in the sky.

People also thought that the dark areas formed a kind of face which they called the Man in the Moon. We now know that there are mountains, plains and holes on the Moons surface.The word lunatic comes from the Latin word luna meaning moon. People used to believe that anybody who was mad had been affected in some way by the Moon. 78 people were supposed to be more mad at the time of the fall moon.Werewolves (狼人) are said to be affected by the Moon. In some areas people still think that some people change into wolves at the time of the full moon. But in fact, like vampires (吸血鬼), werewolves 79 exist in horror films and books!
