from the vegetables you already eat?A research shows that when it comes to vegetables,it’s not only how much we eat,but also how we prepare them,that decides the vitamins(维生素)and other nutrients(营养物)that enter our body.Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease,and eye problems and even cancer.But raw(生的)vegetables are not always best.The researchers foundthat198Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene(番茄红素),the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables.“There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,”says Steven K.Clinton,a professor at Ohio State University.“For fruits and vegetables, s ometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”A number decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought.No single cooking way is best.Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cook ed in different ways.Vitamins C and B are o ften lost.In January,another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying(油炸)or serving them raw.Frying was the worst way to cook.What cook ed with the vegetables can also be important?When the vegetables are cook ed with fat,the diners can get more nutrients.Fat can also mak e the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them.Putting some other things will mak e it taste better—a little salt—can mak e the food taste better.（）28.The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will________.A.have the eyes problemsB.have heart diseaseC.be in need of lycopeneD.hate eating tomatoes（）29.The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT________.A.the place where the vegetables are gr ownB.the

vegetables with the fatB.the more fat in the cooking,the fewer vegetables people will eatC.it’s better to cook the veg etables without saltD.the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables（C）"BANG!"the door caused a big noise.It was just standing there,with Father standing on one side,and I on the other side.W e were both in great anger."Never set foot in this house again!"stormed Father.Withtears in my eyes,I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining,causing rather sad-feeling.I walked aimlessly.A y oung father who held a child in his arms walked p ast me.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space:happy and carefree.But now...I d on't know whether it is because I have gr own up or because Dad is getting old. W e differ in our ways of thinking.He always puts his opinions and rules of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong,he never allows it.W e are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door betw een us that can never be opened.I walked in the streets,without a place in mind.My heart was frozen on this hot su mme r night.As I walked on,there were fewer and fewer people on the streets,until I had only the street lights to accomp any me.When I finally reached the high-rise ap artment block in which I lived,I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself:"Is Father waiting for me,or is he still angry with me?"In fact,it was nothing.P erhaps,Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps.P erhaps he thought they were useless.I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.I can't stand his words:"I can't throw you away,let alone these old papers?"All the lights were off except Father's.Dad was always like this.Maybe he didn't know how to express himself.After shouting at me,he never show ed any pity or any moments of feeling sorry.After an ar gumen t he has the habit of appearing silently in my sleep and then helping me under the covers.This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on."Am I wrong?"I whispered,maybe...With the key in hand,I was as nervous as I had ever been.At last,I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my face.I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined be tw ee n us did not exist(存在)at all.Love---is second to none.（）31.Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?a.I opened the door and enter ed the house.b.Sadly I ran out into the street.c.I reached the place where I lived and saw my h ou se still brightly lit.d.I thought of my father's kindness towards me.e.I walked about in the street without any aim.A.b-e-d-c-aB.b-e-c-d-aC.b-e-a-c-dD.b-e-c-a-d（）32.What can we learn from the passage?A.The father treats his son in an unfair way.B.The father is actually kind to his son.C.The father is neither kind nor rude to his son.D.The father is always finding his son wrong.（）33.This p assage is mainly about________.A.How the boy understand his father’s loveB.Where the boy wentC.What made a father angryD.Why the boy left home（D）Most people ar ou nd the world are right-handed.This also seems to be true in history.In 1799,scientists studied works of art made at different times from1,500B.C.to the1950s.Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed,so the scientists g ue ssed that right-handedness has always been common thr ough history.T oday,only about10%to15%ofthe world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones?Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs.For most people,the hand is used to find things or hold things.The right hand is u sed to work with things.This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain,which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together,controls the left hand.The left-side of the brain,which controls the right hand,is the centre for thinking and doing problems.These findings show that more artists should be left-handed,and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what mak es a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost40%of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born.However,this doesn’t happen t o everyone,so scientists guess there mu st be another reason why people become left-handed.One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents.If a person does not receive the gene(基因)for right-handedness,he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness,people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual.A long time ago,left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children,but today they don’t have to.（）34.How many people in the world are left-handed now?A.Less than one sixth.B.More than a half.C.About40%.D.The passage doesn’t tell us.（）35.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word“damaged”in this passage?A.knock edB.changedC.brok eD.harmed（）36.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.No one really knows what mak es a person become right-handed.B.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C.T oday children are not made to use their right han d s only.D.Scientists think there mu st be some reason why people become left-handed.（）37.The best title for this p assage is_______.A.Scientists’New InventionsB.Left-handed P eopleC.Which HandD.Different Brains,Different Hands卷二（共40分）四、词汇（8’）(A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。
