President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme of the day was Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape. It was part of the First Ladys Lets Move! program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal to get children to eat right and keep moving. We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives, she said. Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that exercise isnt just hard work, its play. If youre running around with your dog, youre getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, thats exercise, but if youre sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, youre not exercising. The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more, she said. Mrs. Obamas favorite splurge food is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga. A lot of kids look up to(敬仰) athletes, and I think its important for athletes to share their good habits, Mrs. Obama said. Kids aren t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. Hes practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them- they can say to kids, “ If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables” .21. The purpose of the Lets Move! program is to _. A. train more young reporters B. help kids keep healthy C. encourage kids to eat more eggs D. invite kids to visit the White House22. In Mrs. Obamas opinion, exercise _. A. should be done outdoors B. means hard work C. can be fun to do D. requires special equipment 23. Splurge food is allowed to be eaten when _. A. you eat right and stay active B. you have a special snack C. you never eat French fries D. you dont hurt yourself BHow can you build more word-of-mouth advertising (口碑广告)? In other words, why would your customers want to talk to their friends about their experience of doing business with you? When you perform your service or deliver your product competently (出色地), you are just doing what the customer expects. (If you dont meet the customers expectations, they may tell their friends what you dont want them to hear!) In order to increase the number of the customers who want to share their good experience with their friends, you must make your service impressive, going beyond what is expected. Recently my daughter Dawn and I had lunch with my team members at the Campbell House. The food and service were truly excellent. My daughter asked for her leftovers to be packed. They were returned to her in aluminum foil (铝箔) shaped like a swan. Guess what she talked about when she got home? How much more do you think it cost the Campbell House to produce that “Wow!” experience? Answer not a cent! Disneyland should be an inspiration to us all in providing a “Wow!” experience. What do people talk to their friends about when they come home? “You should have seen how clean that park was! With all of the people there, its unbelievable! Theres not even a gum wrapper on the ground!” Walt Disney understood that cleanliness is marketing. 24. According to the passage, customers would like to share their good experience with their friends if _. A. what they need is provided on time B. the price of the service is low enough C. the service is better than they expected D. the after-sale service is good enough 25. By saying “Answer not a cent!” the author seems to believe that _. A. it is always possible to satisfy all of the customersB. sometimes it is easy to provide a good experience C. most customers are easy to do business with D. the service should be as cheap as possible 26. According to the last paragraph, what impresses Disneylands visitors most is that _. A. it is much cleaner than they can imagine B. it is more crowded than other theme parks C. it offers so many exciting adventures D. there are so many interesting things to see 27. For whom is the passage most likely written? A. Tourists. B. Journalists. C. Businessmen. D. Customers. CYou want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure? That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting, kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes some-thing physical. Often the goal is to push their bodys limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope of the travelers lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the persons physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU not for the person next to you.Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine and try some-thing new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.28. For a quiet traveler, he is most likely to choose _.A. backpacking across a country B. wine tasting in a barC. hiking to some mountains D. white water rafting29. To have an adventure travel, the most important is _.A. whether you enjoy yourself B. whether you try something dangerousC. where you go for the traveling D. what you do in the traveling30. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that _.A. adventure travel always includes something dangerousB. adventure travel will cost you a large sum of moneyC. anything that goes beyond the normal is adventure travelD. adventure travelers like to do things to the limits of their body31. The best title for the passage may be “_”.A. Tips on adventure travel B. Who is interested in adventure travelC. What is adventure travel D. Popular places for adventure travelDAn earthquake is a trembling or shaking of the ground caused by the sudden release of energy stored in the rocks below the surface. Generally, earthquakes last only seconds. Strong ground shaking during a medium to large earthquake generally lasts about 10 to 30 seconds. After-shocks can occur once in a while for weeks or even months. Many people think that there is an earthquake season or a kind of earthquake weather. As a matter of fact, there isnt. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at any time of the day or night. Earthquakes occur under all weather conditions sunny, wet, hot, or cold without any special weather tendency (倾向). Also, you dont need to worry about that the ground will open up and swallow people when earthquakes occur. Open ground cracks may form during an earthquake related, for example, to land sliding or ground falling; however, such cracks tend to be open gaps (they dont swallow) that a person could stand in afterwards. The safest place in an earthquake is in an open field, where nothing can fall on you. Earthquakes do not injure or kill people, but buildings and falling objects do. If you are indoors, when you feel the ground start to shake, take cover immediately under a table or strong piece of furniture, placing something between falling objects and yourself. Do not attempt to use the stairs or an elevator to get out of the building.32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Earthquakes usually last 10 to 30 seconds. B. After a big earthquake, there are many more quakes. C. Cracks in an earthquake are very dangerous. D. What usually injures people during an earthquake are falling buildings.33. The reason why there isnt earthquake weather is that _. A. an earthquake only lasts seconds and doesnt happen frequently B. an earthquake can happen at any time and in any kind of weather C. when an earthquake happens is related to the weather D. earthquakes dont change with the seasons34. The underlined word swallow in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. take sb. / sth. in B. make sb. frightened C. make room for sb. to stand in D. make the ground slide35. The purpose of writing this passage is to _. A. tell people what an earthquake is B. argue if there really is earthquake weather C. tell us about the earthquake and what to do when it happens D. give us some suggestions on what to do during an earthquake第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or universityHaving a roommate can be one of the best experiences，or easily one of the worst. 36 Follow these four tips to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worseTalk things out 37 If something happens，sit down with your roommates and have a face-to-face conversationComplaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness 38 Some roommates become the best of friends，and some dontDont put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level，especially when you first meetRemember, you are trying to make a new friend，not scare your roommate awayAnd if your roommate doesnt end up being your best friend，there is no need to worry about itClean up after yourselfOr at least，keep your mess on your side 39 But being considerate with where you put your own stuff will help you avoid the argumentsAsk before you takeThis applies to food，clothes，supplies and anything else that you dont own40 Even if you both agree to share everything you should still askAShow your roommate that you have respect for his or her belongingsBRooms can be really easy for a mess to pile upCNot all roommates can become your best friendsDCommunication is of vital importanceEIf you want to have a good relationship with your roommate，it all starts with youFYou dont need to keep the room clean and organized all the timeGExpect to be best friends 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was Toms first visit to England, and he was looking forward to his first journey on Londons Underground Railway.
