My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight?

16、” Those compliments made me feel good and confident.Soon I dropped to 110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting, because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a presenta bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mom would come to my room, with tears in

17、 her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All

18、 of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk（风险）of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Was it worthwhile to be thin?Now

19、I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.36. The underlined word “compliments” in Paragraph 1

20、probably means _.Aquestions Bpraise Cunderstanding Dexperiences37The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _.Athe present from the authors friends Bhaving long chats in the nightCthe authors diet to lose weight Dthe authors cell phone38The author decided to stop dieting _.Aafter her

21、 parents persuaded her out of it Bwhen her weight dropped to 95 pounds Cafter she reached her goal of losing weightDafter her friends told her to stop dieting39From the text we learn that _.Athere are no models with a perfect body in real lifeBit is too expensive for people to lose weightCyou will b

22、e healthy as long as you stop dietingDan unhealthy diet can lead to serious health problemsBVienna, the capital of Austria, is famous for its wealth of art, music, museums and parks. But some locals are saying that the citys beauty is damaged by dog owners who dont clean up after their pets. And, la

23、st week they came up with a solution(解决的方法). There is a citywide campaign(运动)telling dog owners to pick up after their dogs. That means, dont leave a mess on city streets and in parks.“ We want to reach as many dog owners as possible to remind them of the rules,” said Ulli Sima, city official in cha

24、rge of (负责) the environment. “ We want to show them the easiest solution to the problem: put it in a bag and then in the next rubbish bin,” said Sima. There are about 158,000 dogs in Vienna. The city requires their owners to bag the pets mess when walking it outdoors. But it is believed that only a

25、small number of the citys dog lovers actually follow the rules. Every day dogs drop between 5 and 10 tons of their waste around the city. Vienna spends 7 million euros(70 million yuan ) every year just to keep the streets mess-free. The city is blamed（指责）for not being very strict with the rules. Dog

26、 owners say they pay 40 euros each year for their pet. But the city argues the dog license(执照) fee has nothing to do with cleaning up dog messes. The fine for leaving dog mess is high- as much as 72 euros. The city , however, seldom punishes those rule breakers. City officials said that the campaign

27、 was not meant to be an attack on dog owners. “The city does a lot for peaceful co-existence (共同生存)by building areas or providing bags for dog waste. But dog owners must do their part (尽责) as well and accept those offers,” said Sima.40.The passage is most likely taken from_.A. a newspaperB. a geogra

28、phy bookC. an instruction book for petsD. official papers41. Dog owners in Vienna pay 40 euros each year _. A. for walking their dogs in the streetsB. to have people clean up dog messes C. for not obeying the rules D. for the right to own a dog42. Which of the following statements is NOT right accor

29、ding to the passage? A. City officials dont think dog owners can walk their dogs anywhere outside the special areas for dogs. B. The writer believes that both the government and dog owners should do their part. C. City officials hold the opinion that cleaning up the mess is not included in what dog

30、owners have paid. D. Some dog owners think it is the governments duty to clean up.C These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories and offices. Green building means “reducing the impact（影响）of the bu

31、ilding on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington D.C. said. According to Holowka, building accounted for（占了）65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.But Green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation

32、（交通）such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings dont destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a

33、building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “ Weve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire also has lights that automatically (自动) turn off when people leave the room.

34、In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.Not everyone likes to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels (太阳能板) cost more money than more traditional energy

35、sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “ Its going to be big.”43.In the second paragraph, the underlined words “ the building” most probably refer to _.A. an ordinary（一般的）building B. an energy- saving buildingC. a green-colored building D. a building in Washington D.C.44. A green building is often built on

36、an area of land _. A. which has thick forest around B. which has already been used for building C. where people of high income live D. where traveling around by car is most convenient45. When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “Its going to be big”, she means that green buildings_. A. will be more

37、comfortable B. will become popular in future C. will be more environmentally friendly D. will take the place of traditional building46. What is the main subject discussed in the text? A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S. B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design. C. G

38、reen building helps save environment D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildingDThe English language has been shaped by a number of other languages over centuries. Many English speakers know that Latin and German were two of the most important. What many people dont realize is how much the Fr

39、ench language has influenced(影响) English.To begin with, I want to give a little bit of background about the other languages which shaped English. It was born out of the dialects(方言) of three German tribes（部落）(Angles, Jutes and Saxons) who settled in Britain in about 450 AD. When William the Conquero

40、r became King of England in 1066, French took over as the language of the court, government, and culture for 300 years. Meanwhile, English was lowered to everyday uses. Since English was ignored(忽略) by grammarians during this time, it took advantage of(利用) its lowly status(地位) to become a grammatica

41、lly simpler language than French.During the Norman occupation(占领), about 10,000 French words were brought into English, some three-fourths of which are still in use today and can be found in every field. More than third of all English words come directly or indirectly from French, and its estimated(

42、估计)that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words. Youll find many examples in the later study.English pronunciation owes a lot to French as well. Although Old English had the unvoiced fricative soundsf,s,and, French influence helped to introduce the voiced fric

43、ative soundsv,z,ðand.Another rare but interesting French influence is in the word order of expressions like “secretary general” and “surgeon general”, where English has kept the “noun+ adjective” word order typical in French, rather than the usual “ adjective + noun” used in English.47. After W

44、illiam the Conqueror controlled England, English _.A. was not allowed to be spoken in many placesB. remained popular in the upper class（上层阶级）C. was used often as a formal languageD. was spoken mainly by the ordinary people48. In the passage, the influence of French on English _ is not talked about.

45、A. vocabularyB. pronunciationC. spellingD. grammar49. Compared with French, present-day English_.A. has a large vocabularyB. has a simple grammarC. is changing all the time D. is often ignored by grammarians50. What would be the best title of the passage? A. Differences between French and English. B

46、. Influences of French on English. C. Development of English. D. Information on English study.四、任务性阅读（共10小题； 每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文后表格空格中填入最适当的单词, 每空格1个单词。How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence（普通智商）.
