ASometimes two very different individuals (个体)become the best friends. For example,, who could have thought that a spider would become friends with a pig? But in American writer E.B.White’ novel Charlotte’s Web, this is exactly what happensWibur the pig grows up in a barn(谷仓) and makes many friends, including a spider called Charlotte. One day a sheep tells Wibur that he will finally be served up as dinner. But Charlotte decides to save her friend. To help Wibur，Charlotte writes words like “terrific”, “radiant”and “humble”on her web to praise Wibur. This makes the farmer believe that is too important to kill.Wibur is saved, but Charlotte is so tired that she dies.The book was first published in 1952. In over 60 years Charlotte has become one of the most famous spiders of all time. She teaches us about love and promise. “She is very, very loving under that crusty(暴躁),that ugly look,”Peter Neumeyer, writer of The Annotated Charlott’s Web The book’s success drew the attention of Hollywood filmmakers , however, they wanted a happier ending. White was strongly against this idea and as a result the film, like the book, ends with Charlotte’s death.Jen Doll, reporter with The Atlantic, believe that “death is a part of life”. She says this is one of the main messages of the book.As Charlotte tells Wibur, “You have been my friend. That in itself is a wonderful thing. I wove(纺织)my webs for you because I like you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while and then we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess(杂乱), with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. God knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”21.Which of the following about the story is TRUE?A.It’s a good example of how differences make us differentB.It encourages children to love their family and friendsC.The farmer kills Wibur as dinnerD.Charlotte is loving and helpful although she is ugly22.What is the disagreement about Charlotte’s Web between Hollywood filmmaker and White?A.How Charlotte makes friends with WiburB.How to make Charlotte lovelyC.Whether Charrlotte should dieD.Whether Wibur should be killed23.In the last paragraph, Charlotte’s main message is that _________A.life could be boring and troublesomeB.friendship is more important than lifeC.dying for a good cause is worthwhile(值得的)D.life is like a webBElizabeth and I are 18 now, and about to graduate. I think about our elementary school friendship, but some memories have blurred(模糊). What happened that day in the fifth grade when Beth suddenly stopped speaking to me? D oes she know that I’ve been thinking about her for seven years? If only we could go back, and discover what ended our relationship.I have to speak with Beth. I see her sometimes, and find out school is “fine”. It’s not the same. It nvever will be. Someone says that she’s Liz now. what happened to Beth?I can’t call her. Should I write? What if she doesn’t answer me? How will I know what she’s thinking?Yes, I’ll write her a letter. These things are easier to express in writing. “Dear Be-,” no, “Dea r Li-” no, “Dear Elizabeth,” I begin. The words flow freely, as seven-year-old memories are reborn. I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind, and pray she will answer. I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope, and imagine Beth looking into the mailbox. Will she know why I’m writing? Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter.As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever, I wonder if I’ve made the right decision. Do I have the right to force myself into Bet h’s life again? Am I simply part of the past? I have taken the first stop. Beth has control of the situation now.One day has passed. Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor.Two days are gone. I’m lost in thought and don’t even he ar the phone ring.“Hello? It’s Elizabeth”24.What can we learn about Beth?A. She had a quarrel with the author in the fifth gradeB. She moved to another school in the fifth gradeC. She is now called Liz instead of BethD. She hasn’t seen the auth or for seven years25.Why does the author decide to write a letter instead of calling?A. She is sure that Beth will not answerB. She’s afraid that they’ll quarrel on the phoneC. She doesn’t know Beth’s telephone numberD. It is easier to express her feelings in writing26.What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?A .It’s up to Beth to decide what to do nextB .Beth is to be blamed for the ending of their friendshipC. Beth is in the same situation as the author isD .The author is completely in the hands of Beth now27.What might happen at the end of the story?A. Beth answers her letter two day laterB. The letter doesn’t reach Beth at allC. They make up their friendshipD. Beth refuses to make peace with herCThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.There on the shelves, each bottle, can ,box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products.”, as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feelings for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colours draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body. And the word“green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye an d the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people by to satisfy both body and soul.28.According to the passage, _____ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A.the pleasing color of the packageB. he special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product29.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ____________.A. bring excitement to the consumersB. attract the consumers’ attentionC. catch the eye movement of the consumersD produce a happy and peaceful feeling30.“And the word green today can keep food prices going up ” This sentence suggests thatconsumers today are _________.A. starting to notice the importance of new foodB. enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC. beginning to like green vegetablesD. paying more attention to their health31.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A vegetable dish B. healthy juice C. iced drink D red vegetableDTayka Hotel de SalWhere：Tahua，BoliviaHow much：About $95 a nightWhy it’s cool：You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood，but salt？That’s something few can claim.Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses(床垫) and blankets)．The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni，a prehistoric dried-up lake which is the world’s biggest salt flat.Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks，and glue them together with a paste (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel，the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere：Vythiri，IndiaHow much：About $240 a nightWhy it’s cool：Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure.As you look out of your open window—there is no glass！—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷)．Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel，or just sit on your bamboo bed and read.You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”．Dog Bark Park Inn B&BWhere：Cottonwood，IdahoHow much：$92 a nightWhy it’s cool：This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet.Sweet_Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly.Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side.Youcan relax in the main bedroom，go up a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy’s head，or hang out inside his nose.Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters，there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.Gamirasu Cave HotelWhere：Ayvali，TurkeyHow much：Between $130 and $475 a nightWhy it’s cool：This is caveman cool！Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago，when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash.But your stay will be much more modern.Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel，and the white volcanic ash，called tufa，keeps the rooms cool，’t worry—there is heat in winter.)32．What do we know about Tayka Hotel de Sal?A．It is located on a prehistoric lake.B．It should be protected against the rain.C．Everything in the hotel is made of salt.D．You have to cross a rope bridge to the hotel.33．What is the similarity of the four hotels?A．Being expensive.B．Being comfortable.C．Being natural.D．Being unique.34．What does the underlined words “Sweet Willy” refer to?A．The name of the hotel.B．The name of the hotel owner.C．The building of Dog Bark Park Inn B&B.D．The name of a pet dog of the hotel owner.35．Which of the hotels makes you have a feeling of living in the far past?A．Tayka Hotel de Sal.B．Green Magic Nature Resort.C．Dog Bark Park Inn B&B.D．Gamirasu Cave Hotel.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem，but in my neighborhood，there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way，too，but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours，making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact，the scores of our whole class rose. One day，he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera，and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show，he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disney‘s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat；those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names，Mr. Clark said，“You’re all going.”On graduation day，there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001，he moved to Atlanta，but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education，and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules，The Essential 55. In 2003，Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages （孤儿院）。

Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader's surprise.56. In which order did O. Henry do the following things?a. Lived in New Yorkb. Worked in a bankc. Traveled to Texasd. Was put in prisone. Had a newspaper jobf. Learned to write storiesA. e, c, f, b, d, aB. c, e, b, d, f, aC. e, b, d, c, a, fD. c, b, e, d, a, f57. People enjoyed reading O. Henry's stories because ______________.A. they had surprise endings.B. they were easy to understand.C. they showed his love for the poor.D. they were about New York City58. What do we know about O. Henry before he began writing?A.He was well educated.B.He was not serious about his work.C.He was devoted to the poor.D.He was very good at learning.59. Where did O. Henry get most materials for his short stories?A.His life inside the prison.B.The newspaper articles he wrote.C.The city and people of New York.D.His exciting early life as a boy.BWhen we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, and eve rything else seems blurry (=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted.However, People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object o ut of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.60.We should take good care of our eyes________A.only when we can see wellB.0nly when we can not see perfectlyC.even if we can see wellD.0nly when we realize how important our eyes are61.The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means_____________.A. UntrueB.uncertainC.unimportantD.unclear62. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for______.A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances63. People who suffer from astigmatism have______.A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesCMarch, April and May are months full of festivals and events all over the world. Here are some wonderful festivals around the world that happen in spring.SongKran--ThailandDates: 13th-15th, AprilIn Thailand, it’s time to c elebrate the coming monsoon season, which will bring the rain many people have been looking forward to. They celebrate it with a festival called Songkran，when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray(喷，洒）everyone who walks past. If you walk on the streets where the festival is celebrated, prepare to get soaked!Naghol--VanuatuDates: Every Saturday from April to MayEvery year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams, an important part in the people’s diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land di ving ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines(藤条) attached(附于)to their ankles(脚踝）. The divers’ heads have to lightly touch the ground when they jump---something very dangerous if the vines are not measured（测量）properly.Cherry Blossom Viewing ---JapanDates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.The cherry blossom season has huge importance to the people of Japan, who celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals(花瓣）fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. This is one of the most beautiful things to see. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers.Sinhalese New Year--Sri LankaDates: 13th or 14th, AprilJust like in many other countries in South an South East Asia, this is the time when the Sinhalese celebrate the traditional New Year, an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka. There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration.65.What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. tiredB. wetC. crazyD. interested66.The writer thinks that the “land diving ceremony” can be dangerous for the divers because ___________.A. the divers may fall onto the ground if the thin vines breakB. the divers may bump into （撞在…上）the wooden tower on the way downC. the divers’ ankles may get injured if the vines are tied too tightlyD. the divers may injure their heads if the vines aren’t measured properly66.. We can learn from the passage that__________________.A. the Cherry Blossom Celebration usually lasts a long time in JapanB. the Cherry Blossom Celebration is the most important festival in JapanC. the time for the Cherry Blossom Celebration in Japan can be different yearlyD. people usually stay at home for celebration during the cherry blossom seasonD.When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). Isuggested that they should stay at 'bed and breakfast' houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories."We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought 'V ACANCIES' meant 'holidays', because the Spanish word for 'holidays' is 'vacaciones'. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said'VACANCLES', which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said 'NO V ACANCLES', because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses wereall full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word 'DIVERSION' means fun.In English, it means that workmen arerepairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word'DIVERSION' on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the roadended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that Iwould like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later Ifound out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you."67. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _____.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car68.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because__________A.They would be able to practise their English\B.It would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC.It would be convenient for them to have dinnerD.There would be no problem about finding accommodation there.69. 'NO V ACANCIES' in English means _____.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays70.If you see a road sign that says"Diversion", you will_________A.fall into a holeB.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC.find that the road is blocked by crowds of peopleD.have to take a different road71. When someone offered me more coffee and I said "Thank you" in French, I _____.A. didn't really want any more coffeeB. wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to express my politeness第四部分：基础知识（共四节，满分23分）I. 根据首字母或中文提示，写出正确的单词完成句子。

AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It‟s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the intervie wer‟s office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy‟s heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” He thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy‟s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you‟d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and the y shared a cup of well-deservedcoffee as he landed himself a new job.21. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work.B. He was bored with his job.C. He wanted a higher position.D. he hoped to find a better boss.22. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. A friend‟s car had a flat tyre.B. A wild man was pushing a car.C. A terrible car accident happened.D. An old man‟s car broke down.23. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He was also to be interviewed.B. He needed a traveling companion.C. He always helped people in need.D. He was thankful to Jimmy .24. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer‟s question?A. He was sorry for the other applicants.B. There was no hope for him to get the job.C. He regretted helping the old man.D. The interviewer was very rude.BSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.25. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.A. the reasons for success.B. the meaning of successC. the standards of success.D. the importance of success26. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to _______.A. being good at something.B. setting a practical goal.C. putting in more time.D. succeeding in life27. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.28. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.C.Interested in sharing your views in the Campus Link?

They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak, or to read, or to write and do mathematics.A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills. Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are not unintelligent or do not want to work. Their brains just process information differently than other people. Researchers say that one in five people in America has some kinds of learning disability. Almost three million children in America receive some kinds of help in school for a learning disability.How can you tell if someone has a learning disability? Experts look for a difference between how well a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no sign of a disorder. A few signs of a learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task Different people have different kinds of learning disabilities. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing.These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names. For example, a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia. Someone who cannot do mathematics may have a disorder called dyscalculia (计算困难).Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people who have them can be helped. Teachers and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Cost of learning disabilities.B. How to cure learning disabilities.C. General introduction to learning disabilities.D. Causes of learning disabilities.34. It is believed that ____ is the main cause of learning disabilities.A. different brainB. mother languageC. being lazyD. the different ways the brain works with information35.

In order for children to build strong bodies and for adults to keep well, they should always eat a good breakfast. Eating the right food is necessary for good health. You should eat different kinds of food in order to keep a good health.It is understood that a good breakfast may contain eggs, bread, milk, and so on. By eating breakfast every morning, you can feel alive and active in the morning's work. After a good breakfast you can step out into the morning air and feel wonderful. Anybody can feel better by eating a good breakfast.Many fathers and mothers are unable to get their children to eat breakfast. There are many reasons for children not to eat breakfast. One reason could be that they do not have a good example. It could be that the father and mother do not eat breakfast.

The latest research shows that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline (衰弱)when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells（细胞）that enable it to beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20- year- old one’s.“This gender（性别）difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll(造成损失)on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.66. The underlined word “longevity”(in paragraph 2) probably refers to_______.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect67. The passage mainly talks about________.A. men’s heart cellsB. women’s ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life68. According to the passage, the UK scientists have known that ________.A.women have more cells than men when they are bornB.women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC.the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD.the female heart never loses the pumping power with age69. If you want to live longer, you should_______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularlyD. prevent your cells from being lost70. We can know from the passage that _______.A.the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has beenfound outB.scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of thecellsC.the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering thegreater loss of the cellsD.women over 70 could lose more cells than those at the age of 20.Part Four Writing ( 25 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Complete the following ten sentences by writing a word in each blank that best fits the context according to Chinese or the first letter already given. 71.
