Mrs. Brown cried, and her neighbor was very sorry, but that was the end of the vegetables!Then a few days before Christmas, the neighbor brought Mrs. Brown a parcel.

There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (胃口). It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasnt telling the truth. He was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat. 16.We have to develop good eating habits because_. A. we want to eat moreB. we want to enjoy our mealsC. we want to be healthy and strong D. we want to save time17._ may take away our appetite before we have our meal. A. Either meat or riceB. Neither sweets nor ice-creamC. Not only meat but also riceD. Both sweets and ice-cream18.We had better have our meals_. A. when our work is overB. at the same time each dayC. when the meal is still hotD. when we go back home19.A man who is angry has _. A. a better appetiteB. a poor appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread20.The judges in old England considered that a man could_ if he told a lie. A. swallow dry bread easilyB. eat a lot of dry breadC. drink milk or hot waterD. hardly swallow dry bread Passage 3This library is an English language teaching and learning library.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity (容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.26. The size of mans forehead will probably grow bigger because _.A. he will use his brain more and more B. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacityC. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesD. he has not used 80% of the brain27. What is NOT true according to the text?A. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.C. Mans hair will probably disappear.D. Mans arms and legs are likely to become weaker.28. What will be true about a human being in the future?A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.C. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont use them.D. He will think and feel in a different way.29. It is implied that _.A. human beings will become more attractive in the futureB. body organs will become poorer if they are not used oftenC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable30. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. mans life will be different in the futureB. man is growing shorterC. future man will look quite different from us nowD. human beings organs will not function properly第三部分：词汇和结构 （共25小题；每小题1分，满分25分）第一节：此小节共有15个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项并用铅笔将答题卡上相应的字母按要求涂黑。示例ABCD31.The police are_ the two missing children.A. looking outB. looking afterC. looking forD. looking on32.The red rose is her _.A. favorB. favoriteC. likeD. best33.She never lost her _ for teaching.A. enthusiasmB. enthusiasticC. engineD. theme34.Tom was very happy when his parents told him that they _ back to America soon.A. would comeB. will comeC. is comingD. are coming35.
