Id have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, Id drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood sugar level. My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I cant eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood sugar level often. Im always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesnt keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to. Its a lot of work and not a lot of fun to keep track of everything, but Ive gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasnt sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasnt a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me. 1. The first paragraph is mainly about _.A. who found the author had diabetes B. the authors life before having diabetesC. how the author was found to have diabetesD. the authors eating habits before having diabetes2. What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes?A. She stopped playing basketball in the gym. B. She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly.C. She stopped eating food with natural sugar.D. She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.3. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Increase. B. Control. C. Absorb. D. Test. 4. Whats the authors attitude toward her having diabetes now?A. Worried. B. Frightened. C. Pessimistic. D. Positive.BThe English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus across the country have caused public discussion about the precision (准确) of the translations. Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreign visitors to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners knowledge of Chinese cuisine (烹饪). But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations have not lived up to public expectations. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dishs ingredients, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “Stir-fried mutton slices with Chinese onion or green scallion (葱爆羊肉)”.Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, the author says it fails to describe the dishs rich cultural meaning and charm. The dishs beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang,” has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only, but they cannot resist (忍住) the delicious dish. So, they jump over their temple walls to get a taste of the dish. The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful English translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid (生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine. 5. Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menus?A.Because they want to show their dishes ingredients.B.Because the public expect them to do so.C.Because Chinese dishes are popular across the world.D.Because it is a convenience for foreign travelers.6.According to China Youth Daily, whats the main problem of the English menu translations?A. They are too long to remember. B. Many of them are not correct.C. They lack cultural meaning. D. They are too difficult to understand.7. What would be the best title for this text?A. Measures to attract customers B. Ways to translate Chinese menusC. Better menu translations are needed D.

Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. Youll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but theyre something scientists have been working on for decades. Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive about $25 million per person per flight. Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable more than 37,000 kilometers up to space from the earths equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit (绕的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable(电缆) would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for a while.12. The first paragraph is presented by _.A. giving an example B. making a comparisonC. asking questions D. analyzing causes13. Why have scientists been working on space elevators?A. To make trips to space cheaper. B. To help astronauts do research in space.C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy. 14. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _.A. the cable B. the equator C. an object in space D. a weight on the end of the cable15. What may make the cable stay in place on the moon?A. The elevator car on the moon. B. The elevator fastened to the cable.C. The pull of gravity from the earth. D. The speed of the moon orbiting the earth.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。_16_. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education are probably one reason for this problem. A visit to a doctors office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is impossible to pay for the medical care they need. _17_. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they were required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition（学费）for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. _18_, young doctors need a lot of money for their work. _19_. Therefore it is possible that the high cost of medical care in American is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, _20_.A. It is possible for the poor people to see the doctor in America.B. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaidC. One way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuitionD. They are not willing to pay high tuition for the doctorsE. The cost of medical care in the United States is very highF. Because this money must be repaid to the bankG.
