Fill in the blanks with the proper words from the table.survival; sense; choice; harmful; encouraged; essential; no longer Food, like air, is 41 to human being. People usually take food, air and water as the three basic elements for human 42 . Without food, humans will become weak and even die. Anyone who has suffered from hunger will understand better how important food is. You can live without a TV set, a Hi-fi, or a house but you cannot live without food.But some foods can be 43 to some people. It is a common 44 now that adults should eat food with less fat, for fat can cause heart disease. Milk, butter, cheese and meat are 45 the healthy food for many people. It seems necessary to understand more about the advantages and disadvantages of rich food.The 46 of food has become more and more important. Now people are 47 to eat more vegetables and less meat. They are also educated to choose natural and fresh food and not think about enjoying eating only. We are told that food with less salt and less sugar is better to our body although such food may not be delicious as it used to be. All in All, every food does not suit all the people and one must choose what he should eat if he wishes to be healthy.Cloze(A)When I was a boy, children were always against wearing school uniform but teachers were keen on it because they said all of us looked 48 . Otherwise they said, children would compete with 49 and 50 children would be unhappy because people would see straight away how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 51 the idea of making children wear uniform but, funny enough, now that children can wear 52 they like, they have adopted 53 . When some reporters visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed 54 jeans. 55 girl said she would rather die than wear a coat 56 a jersey ( 运动衫 ) because no one wants to look different from other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they ought to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, not something they have been forced to wear, and it is also a lot 57 than school uniforms used to be.48.

Their answer is the bicycle.In a great 58 cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even 59 a group called Bike For A Better City, they 60 that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer cars in the downtown and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to 61 the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanes-for bicycles 62 - on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be 63 . Bike for A Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bicycles.But no bike lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers dont like the idea-they say it will 64 traffic. Some store owners on the main streets dont like this idea-they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government hasnt yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park is closed to cars and the roads may be used by bikes only. But Bike for A Better City says that this is not 65 and 66 fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. If that happens, the safest place to bike may be in the 67 .58. A. number B. many C. lot D. few59. A. formed B. set C. built D. met60. A. claim B. tell C. announce D. complain61.

Reading(A)Treasure hunts have excited peoples imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a childrens story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out, Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Willisms put in a lot of “ red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic, not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIIIs six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Willisms encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth 3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.68.
