As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning，or they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 37 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a 38 about what they have learned.Supporters claim that there are many 39 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think beyond their own interests and become 40 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 41 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 42 ， students can explore possible careers through service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.While there are many benefits, opponents (反对者) 43 problems with the new requirement. First, they 44 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 45 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 46 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual s freedom to choose.In my view, service learning is a great way to 47 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 48 ， I don t believe you should force people to help others the 49 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 50 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.36. A. spendB. gain C. complete D. save37. A. Subjects B. Ideas C. Procedures D.

Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It_ is_ like _the _chicken _and _egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”51What s the result of the research mentioned in the text?A. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.52It was found in the research that_.A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried outB. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetariansC. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetariansD. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians53Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)_way.A. doubtful B. favorable C. negative D. objective54What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.55What s the best title for the text?A. Get more IQ points!B. Be a vegetarian, please!C. Vegetarian diet cuts heart riskD. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarianB “Whats in a name?”According to Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much.“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal.Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”，for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they dont like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other nameslike John and David, Mary and Sarahhave stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.People in America dont always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name .For instance ,a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B.J. or R.C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames .Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar. Whats in a name? A world of significance. So if youre choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said,“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”56.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A. People change names in order to be popular with the new generation.B. Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.C. Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.D. No names can stand the test of time.57.When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles except that .A. the impression a name gives is more important than its meaningB. you can name after a well-known personC. surname should be paid attention toD. you can create a name that is special58.The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means .A. nickname B. the first letter C. short form D. title59.The author will name a newly born baby girl .A. Bertha B. Fanny C. Yunyun D. Elizabeth60.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Names have great significance to Americans. B. Names change when time goes by.C. Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.D. Roses smell sweet by any other name.CNapoleon Bonaparte died on May 5, 1821, on the island of St. Helena off the coast of Africa. He was 51 years old at the time. When doctors examined Napoleons body, they said that the former emperor of France had died from cancer of the stomach. That was the cause of death recorded in the official report. However, other doctors disagreed. One doctor who was present during the examination of the body said that Napoleon died of hepatitis（肝炎）. Other historians and medical experts have suggested that Napoleon died of syphilis（梅毒）, tuberculosis（肺结核）, or perhaps malaria. Now, after careful research, a British chemist thinks that Napoleon might have been poisoned - not by a person, but by his wallpaper. Napoleon was sent to the island of St. Helena in 1815 after he lost the battle of Waterloo. He was a prisoner on the island. Although he had servants to attend to him, he had to live in one small building. St. Helena is a very wet island, so the walls of the building were always covered with mold. Napoleon became ill from spending too much time inside his house. Almost constantly he had a fever, chills, and felt sick to his stomach. He often felt pain in his shoulders and in his side. His skin turned yellow. He got frequent headaches, and he would become dizzy and vomit. None of the medicine that the doctors gave Napoleon seemed to help. They were not sure what was the matter. Finally, Napoleon was too weak to leave the house. One night, while he was sleeping, he went into a coma（昏迷）and died.Many doctors who later reviewed the reports of Napoleons illness found that the symptoms did not show a man who suffered from stomach cancer. It seemed obvious that Napoleon had died from some other cause. In 1961, a Swedish doctor examined some of Napoleons hair and found a high level of arsenic（砒霜）, a chemical poison. Was Napoleon murdered? It is doubtful. Arsenic was used in many types of medicine during Napoleons time, so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness. Then, in 1982, Dr. David Jones from England began to look into the mystery and suggested that Napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house. In the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper. If the paint was used on a wet wall, the arsenic would go into the air. A person in the room might breathe that air. After studying the wallpaper in the room where Napoleon died, Dr. Jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls.61. The passage says that . A. a British doctor thinks he has found the cause of Napoleons death B. many doctors have tried to guess the cause of Napoleons death C. Napoleon could have died from poison D. all of the above62. Why did Napoleon live on St. Helena? A. He owned the island. B. He was a prisoner there. C. His family lived there. D. He liked the island.63. Napoleon suffered from the following symptoms except _. A. chills B. fever C. dizziness D. bleeding64. The official report said that Napoleon died of_. A. cancer B. a coma C. mold D. poison65. According to Dr. Jones, how did the arsenic probably get into Napoleons body? A. He ate it. B. He breathed it in. C. He touched it. D. He drank it.五、信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及其相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。（选E时，同时涂AB; 选F时，同时涂AC）请阅读下列不同类型汽车的信息：A. Toyota Electron-2006 (new): Toyotas new car is both powerful and economical.
