Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to make his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.60. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _.A. life for a child is relatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life61.

As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who worked in a field close by. The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play a trick on the man: we will hide his shoes, and conceal (隐藏) ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his puzzlement when he cannot find them.” “My young friend,” answered the professor , “we should never make ourselves happy at the cost of the poor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he put his foot into one of his shoes, and found the coin. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud an earnest（热诚的） thanksgiving. The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?” The student replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of those words, which I never understood before. Thank you! ”68What the student wanted to do at first was_Ato try to fool the poor man Bto steal the poor mans shoesCto turn to the professor Dto give the poor man two coins69From the passage we can infer that the professor was_Ahonest Bhumorous Cmodest Dkind-hearted70What may be the mentioned truth in the last paragraph?AIt is more blessed to give than to receiveBPlaying tricks on others is playing tricks on yourself.CWhere theres a will, theres a wayDActions speak louder than words第一节：任务型阅读（10分）阅读下面的文章，根据语篇内容，用恰当的词完成题后表格。(每格限填一词)A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has fought obesity for most of his life.Obesity, a severe weight problem, is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing ones behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weightloss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise. People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you take in, increase the number you use, or both.A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the USA. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.At the end of the year, the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one-half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and blood pressure.Christopher Gardner, who led the study, says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money to study men, but that men would probably have similar results.Last week, another report based on thirty-one studies suggested that only a small number of people have long-term success with dieting. Most dieters regained their lost weight within five years and often they become more overweight. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.Title: Proper 71_ to lose weightDoctors advicetake medicine along with 72_ ones behaviorsExperts 73_ plansa well-balanced diet: take in 74_ energy than needed, increase the number you use, or both.75_Four of the most popular dieting plans in the USAAtkins: eat less sugar than usual and 76_ protein in the dietThe Zone77_LEARN.From another 78_have long-term success with dieting, otherwise most dieters will 79_ their lost weightexercise is more important than dieting for 80_ weight第二节: 单词拼写 根据首字母或汉语写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）81.
