What will the kids say?“Terrible,〞 said Greg Dudzinski, 17, of Ripon High School in Wisconsin, as he toured the US capital.“The regular hamburgers are bad enough, so soyaburgers would be a lot worse, offered Zach Richey, 13, of Scottsboro Junior High in Alabama, another tourist.But the United States government – hoping to reduce the amount of fat that children are eating –has approved the use of soy as a meat substitute in meals for schools and day-care centers.Not all kids dislike the change. Mariel Spano, 17, of sandy Greek High School in New York, also visiting the capital, said she likes soyaburgers：“There is less fat, and they are better for you… They taste the same, and they are just as good.〞The government tried to make soy a meat substitute nearly 20 years ago, but later dropped the idea．At the time, the plan was intended as a cost-cutting move. US Agriculture Department officials say that their purpose now is only to make meals healthier.Schools are likely to increase the amount of soy that is mixed with hamburgers and other foods already on their menus, and they will also be looking for food companies to develop new soy products that children will like. “I can’t see putting tofu on a student’s plate and having a good acceptance. I can see taking a product that is familiar to the students and adding a large amount of soy to it and having it to be acceptable,〞 said Jill Benza, director of food services for the Mesa, Arizona schools.36．What is the newspaper report mainly about?A．The difficulty in using soy products for US schools.B．Various opinions on soy products for US schools.C．The plan that is made by the US government for school lunch.D．Healthy foods for students in US schools.37．Where did the interviews most probably take place?A．In food companies. B．In schools.C．In Washington. D．In some other states. 38．We may learn from the text that _________________________.A．soyaburgers taste better than hamburgers.B．hamburgers are healthier than soyaburgers.C．soyaburgers cost less than hamburgers.D．hamburgers cost less than soyaburgers.39．What Jill Benza said shows that ___________________________.A．students have not yet been used to soy products.B．it is hardly possible to make soy products popular.C．he does not like the change in meals for students.D．schools are unwilling to change the lunch menus.BA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say！〞“You don’t say!〞 I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.〞So I said to him, “well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?〞 By the way, have you ever been there? “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.〞 He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are proud of it.〞Soon I was interrupted again by his order “You don’t say!〞I couldn’t help asking .I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say?〞 Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You don’t say actually means really? It is an exp ression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.〞 Only then did I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expression.40．A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because .A．English idioms were too difficult to masterB．I cared little about the teacher’s instructionC．my teacher didn’t emphasize the importanceD．I had no interest in English learning41．When I first heard “You don’t say!〞 I thought .A．the Englishman was not interested in my EnglishB．the Englishman was only interested in the Great WallC．I had talked too muchD．I had to stop talking at once42．Which of the following is true?A．The Englishman was leaving China without seeing the Great Wall.B．The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.C．The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.D．The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting 43．After the Englishman explained the idiom, .A．the Englishman made me a foolB．the Englishman made a fool of himselfC．I felt very sillyD．I felt proud of my understandingCCutsBleeding can usually be stopped by applying pressure to the cut for 2 or 3 minutes. The cut can then be carefully inspected. If it has bled freely any germs will normally have been washed away by the blood.Apply a plaster dressing firmly, bringing the edges of the cut together so that it knits quickly. Keep dry for 1 to 2 days.If the cut is deep and the edges cannot be pulled together with a dressing consult the doctor or the practice nurse. A tetanus (破伤风) injection may be needed.GrazesDirt will often enter a graze caused by falling on a hard or rough surface. It must be cleaned out carefully with an antiseptic solution. (消毒液)After cleaning, leave the graze uncovered. Exposure to the air will cause a scab to form. This will gradually fry and fall off.It is not a good idea to apply a dressing. This may stick to the graze or make it complete wet and infected.BruisesBruises are very common in children. They normally get better in 7 to 10 days Parents sometimes worry that a bone may be broken, but if in doubt consult the doctor. If a child gets up at once after a fall and moves about normally, it is unlikely that a bone has been broken.Severe bruising can be treated by： Rest for 24 to 48 hours .In the case of a badly bruised leg, the limb should be raised. Lying in bed is the easiest way to do this.A bad compress may ease a bad bruise if applied at once. This is made by leaving some material in water and applying it to the bruise.Insect bitesThese are common in the summer .They look like spots about1/4’’across .They are very itchy (痒) and usually appear on exposed parts, e.g. arms and legs. The itching can be relieved by calamine lotion (护肤药水).Burns and scaldsMinor burns and scalds cause redness of the skin. Immediate treatment by pouring cold water over a burn is often helpful. If burns cause the skin severe hot or break the skin, the doctor should be turned to.Sunburns should, if possible, be prevented by avoiding long exposure and covering exposed areas as much as needed. It may be treated by calamine lotion to relieve the pain.44．The purpose of the booklet is _____A．to tell us what to do until a doctor arrives.B．to explain what cause minor illnesses.C．to show that it is unnecessary to call a doctor.D．to hel p us to treat minor illnesses at home45．When treating a minor cut ,we are first told to _____.A．clean out the wound. B ．press down on the wound.C．wash the blood away. D．close up the wound. 46．The injury which we are told how to avoid is _____.A．sunburn. B．insect bites. C．scalds. D．cuts.47．Patients with badly bruised legs are advised to go to bed so that ______.A．they can rest completely. B．their injured leg can be lifted up.C．they can leave their leg in water. D．a cold compress can be appliedDWhen dinning in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad, main course or entree(主菜), and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didn’t have to worry about whether the salad came before or after the main course since they didn’t eat salad at all. Chomping(大声地咀嚼) on greens was once considered sissy(女人气的), and Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New York’s Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties(奇的东西) became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing the palate(味觉), and being ready for the cheese. Why Americanseat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: The custom may be related to the slimming craze, for “salad first〞 may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers’ impatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep them busy while the main courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as trick-the meagerness(缺乏量) of a meal is less noticeable if it comes after “free〞 salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.48. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, _________ .A. Americans ate the salad before the main courseB. Americans ate the salad after the main courseC. Americans ate the salad either before or after the main courseD. Americans didn’t eat salad at all49. In the last sentence of the passage, “rabbit food〞 refersto_______ .A. the saladB. food made of rabbit meatC. junk foodD. food prepared for the rabbit50. Which of the following statements is true?A. Salad first appeared in America, and then was introduce to Europe.B. The American tradition of eating salad before the main course wasformed mainly due to health.C. In less than fifty years, salad became popular throughout theUnited States.D. Serving Salad before the entree by the restaurants is a way ofcheating the diners.四．任务型阅读〔10分〕A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled obesity for most of his life.Obesity , a severe weight problem, is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one’s behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight—loss plans include a well-balanced diet andexercise.People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you take in, increase the number you use, or both.A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.At the end of the year, the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one-half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and blood pressure.Christopher Gardner, who led the study, says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money to study men, but that men would probably have similar results.Last week, another report based on thirty-one studies suggested that only a small minority of people have long-term success with dieting. Most dieters regained their lost weight within five years and often they become more overweight. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.Title: Proper 1.___ to lose weight五．书面表达〔25分〕假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom想了解世博会的一些情况。
