People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many peoples diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needsfolic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along. 5. A good title for this reading passage is_.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth about SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong6. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C.

The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from_.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exerciseCBody and FoodYour body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly.

In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know _.A. our bodies need food or we cant liveB. often eating apples is a good habitC. taking extra vitamin pills is pletely uselessD. a good diet is of great importance for our health 11.

It ends in May or June，followed by summer vacation._16_Because long ago，young people had to help their families harvest the summer crops. At least this is what people today may think._17_A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.In the early days of the United States，children were not required to attend school. School calendars depended on local needs._18_They worked on family farms during the other months. City schools were often open much longer，some for eleven months of the year.After the Civil War，more and more people saw the need for a system of required education._19_Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break. The schools were often crowded. There was no modern air conditioning. Hot days would make it difficult to learn. Many rural educators，however，pushed for a longer school year. They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few childlabor laws.So the traditional school calendar was a promise(折中)The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days. Times have not changed much._20_But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.AWhy such a long break?BToday the mon average is one hundred and eighty days.CAmericans think highly of their traditional school calendar.DMost schools had similar school calendars.EBut the reason has more to it.FStudents in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year.GBut they had different ideas for the calendar.第二部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Michel is a young girl who works for the police 21 a handwriting expert (专家).
