Most of the time，James was out and paid least attention to home affairsMeanwhile，as he was spending a lot helping others，she had to struggle even to meet the household expensesThough she was not opposed to his helping the poor，she urged him not to overlook his own life and home，but it had no effect on himOne day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him，never to returnThough he continued with his work，this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and was soon forced to stay indoorsThat was when he took his position by the window，spending his time looking outsideA few weeks after my graduation，I returned to school，only to find the buildings goneI heard that they were torn downAll the people left except JamesHe refused to go and the next morning，he was found at his usual place by the window，dead54What changed James view towards life?A The difficulties in his careerB The deaths in the bus accidentC The bad conditions in the hospitalD The responsibilities in the operation55James chose to retire in order to_.A spare more time and energy to help othersB find a better job to increase his incomeC take care of the injured passengersD stay away from the difficult official duties56James wife left because_A she was strongly against his deedsB James paid too little attention to his workC her work to support their daily life was too tiringD James failed to keep a balance between charity and home57What is possibly the reason why James sat by the window every day?A He expected his wife to return.B He looked forward to going out.C He desired to watch the students.D He attempted to know the outside life. CNowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesnt happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. Its time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and its time to keep our children from watching violence.58What experts really worry is that .A children spend too much time watching TVB TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC children become addicted to TV programsD children have less time to do their homework59The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .A giving a definition B giving an exampleC making a comparison D presenting research findings60What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A explain. Bavoid. C ignore. D copy. 61What is the authors purpose for writing this text?A To express his own worries about TV violence.B To ask parents to take good care of their children.C To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.D To call on the whole society to save children from violence. DLets face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didnt drink diet sodas. What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain, said Sharon Fowler.The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations.Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they dont lose weight at all. We werent seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us, said Rogers.So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over-compensate(补偿) for the missing calories.A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky, said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texass school of medicine. They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.62People drink diet sodas to _.A enjoy its taste B achieve weight loss C stay in fashion D gain more energy63The new study suggests that drinking diet sodas _.A causes people to become heavierB helps people to be healthierC makes people much thinnerD offers people more calories64We can learn from the passage that _.A regular sodas make people lose more weightB diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodC diet sodas do help reduce caloriesD most blood diseases come from diet sodas65The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to “_”.A sweeteners Bdiet soda drinkers and sweetener takers C sodas Ddiet sodas and artificial sweeteners第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话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。 Reading books is one of the best hobbies.
