A★
In the United States,30 percent of the adult(成年人) population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is clear, we eat too much. But scientific evidence (证据)does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average(平均地) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (调查)such as a 1979 study of 3 545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more fat they lost. The more they ran, the more they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
56. What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?
A. They are too thin.
B. They work too hard.
C. They are too fat.

57. According to the information given in the passage, among 500 Americans, how many have weight problem?
A. 30

A. ate more food and had more physical activities

One morning I was woken by my mother’s angry voice. I opened my eyes and found it was seven forty, so I jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.
However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait for another one. I felt I couldn’t wait and the school was only fifteen minutes’walk, so I ran to the school as fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom with all my clothes wet through. Mr. Smith, our physics teacher, had begun his class. I was always afraid of him. I hesitated（犹豫）for a moment, and then I opened the door.
“It’s you again, Jim,”Mr. Smith said angrily. I’ve told you not to be late, but you …”. Then he suddenly stopped when he noticed my wet clothes. He quickly took off his
own jacket and asked me to put it on. “I don’t want you to catch a cold,”he said kindly. I went to my seat with Mr. Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,”she’d said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me. She showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”，but she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she
did forgive(宽恕) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I could not be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
68. The writer began to love her mother’s desk _____________.
A. after Mother died
B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child
D. when Mother gave it to her
69. The passage shows that_____________ .
A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B. Mother was very serious about everything her daughter had done
C. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
D. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
70 The word “gulf”means ____________.
A. deep understanding between the old and the young
B. difficult ideas between the mother and the daughter
C. free talks between the mother and the daughter
D. part of the sea going far in land
71. What did Mother with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again before she died.
72. What’s the best title(题目) of the passage?
A. My Letter to Mother
B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother’s Desk
D. Talks Between Mother and Me
第二节阅读短文，简要回答问题（共3小题，每小题2分，满分6分）
There was a painter who was known for his painting skills. One day this skilled artist met a beautiful woman. He fell in love with her at first sight. Then he showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented（同意）to be his wife.
Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found when he admired her classic beauty; it was as if he was standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being. He expressed his great desire to paint her rare beauty.
“Please sit for me in the workroom,”he pleaded (请求). “and I will make your beauty immortal (永恒的). The work will be my masterpiece (杰作).”
So the beautiful young woman sat patiently in his room, complaining nothing. Day after day she sat obediently, because she loved him and she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience.
She sometimes wanted to tell him, “Please love me as a person rather than an object!”But she said nothing.
Hour after hour, day after day, the artist became so absorbed (投入的) in his work that he didn’t notice that his wife was becoming weak and unhappy.
Finally when he finished his work, he cried. Because when he turned to his beloved wife he found that she was dead.
73. Find in the passage a word closet in meaning to the underlined word “obediently”.
74. What do you think of the artist? (回答词数不超过8个单词)
75. What is the best title for the passage? (回答词数不超过6个单词)

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to hold a birthday party, at which friends get together to drink, sing and dance. On his birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from his friends and parents. Sometimes, parents will prepare a special dinner or a cake to show their love for their children.
Since a birthday celebration is one of the important activities in one’s life, it can be done in more meaningful ways. For example, we can buy some flowers or cook a delicious meal for our mothers on that day. In this way, we can express thanks to our parents in return for their love.
