Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on “Good Morning America” today to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food－quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out.One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials, Asked about how he gets his energy. Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day,Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Classman said.Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(养生法)that involves flipping tractor tires, and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.46.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Good Diet Makes a True Olympian.B.Olympians Have Olympic-size Appetites.C.Olympians’Strange Eating Habits.D. The Diet of Some Top Olympic Athletes.47.What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A.Ordinary people eat few pigs compared with Olympians.B.Olympians eat a lot more food than ordinary people.C.Olympians tend to eat a lot of high-quality food.D.Olympians eat a large amount of food, just like pigs.48.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Ryan Lochte quit eating junk food, candy and soda for his better recovery.B.Yohan Blake finally beat Usain Bolt in the 100-meter track in the Olympics.C.Michael Phelps’astonishing performance was due to his eating lots of food.D.Jonathan Horton has a blood sugar problem because of taking too much honey.49.Which of the following is not the best food to help the body recover?A.Soda.B.Olive oil.C.Whole-grain spaghetti.D. A salad with lemon juice.50.The passage is most likely to be found in .A.a technical reportB.a fashion magazineC. an education columnD.a sports newspaperBCredit cards let people buy things now and pay for them over months or even years. But some people get deep into debt: Some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt. In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision of the credit card industry. They offer economic power at a price. In 2004, Americans had about $800 billion in credit card debt. Now they own about $968 billion.Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credit they call markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts.The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.Some lawmakers are concerned that cardholders do not have enough protections from what abusive policies. These include actions like raising interest rates because of an unrelated event. Also, banks may raise the chances of a late payment by changing monthly payment dates for credit cards.According to a survey, 82% of Americans think credit cards provide a valuable service. But a majority, 58%, say they do not trust credit card companies. And three out of four think the government should regulate the industry more closely. Three out of four people feel there is always some condition that makes a card less appealing than the company made in scared. And a little more than half say they have had a card that was not as good as they expected. But close to 80% say no one really reads the terms and conditions when they sign up fora credit card.51. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably mean?A. We can enjoy more convenience using credit cardsB. Credit cards can improve your buying power.C. We can buy things at lower prices using credit cards.D. Credit cards bring more card debt as well as convenience.52. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Banks are making it harder for people to get credit cardsB. Some peop le’s credit limits have been reduced.C. It is more difficult to borrow money from some banks.D. Banks are receiving more charges from late payments.53. Which of the following can be a case of abusive policies?A. Banks make credit cards look more attractive.B. Banks ignore the danger of bad debts.C. Banks raise interest rates with no good reason.D. Banks put off monthly payment dates.54. What can we know from the text?A. Banks actually prefer to see more late payment.B. People should be more careful when applying for a credit card.C. The US government provides better protection for cardholders.D. The majority of Americans don’t think much of credit cards.55. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Credit cards are still very well received in America.B. Credit cards don’t live up to some people’s expectations.C. Many people don’t believe in credit card companies.D. The results of a survey about credit cards in Americans.CAnger at the practice of demanding dowries (嫁妆), which can lead to violence against brides, has prompted a takeoff of “Angry Birds” called “Angry Brides” that aims to highlight the illegal practice still prevalent in many South Asian countries.Dowries-such as jewelry, clothes, cars and money-are traditionally gi ven by the bride’s family to the groom and his parents to ensure she is taken care of in her new home.The custom was outlawed more than five decades ago. But it is still widely practiced, with the groom’s family demanding even more money after marriage, leading to mental and physical annoyance that can drive the woman to suicide.“The Angry Brides game is our way of throwing a spotlight on the nuisance(陋习)of dowry.” said Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president and head of online marketing for , a matrimonial(婚姻的)website with two million members.“According to a 2007 study, there is a dowry-related death every four hours in India, We condemn this and have consistently run campaigns on social media to help create awareness of the issue”.The name of the app, available on the group’s home page, is a spinoff from the globally popular “Angry Birds” game, Its home page shows a red-clad, eight-armed woman resembling a powerful female Hindu goddess. Underneath, there is a caption: “A woman will give you strength, care and all the love you need … NOT dowry!”To play the game, users have to try and hit three dodging grooms--a pilot, a builder and a doctor. There are a variety of weapons to choose from, including a frying pan, broomstick, tomato and loafer.Each groom has a price tag, starting at 1.5 million rupees($29,165). Every time the player hits a groom, his value decreases and money is added to the player’s Anti-Dowry Fund,which is saved posted on their Facebook page.“Since we launched the game last week, mo re than 270,000 people have liked the app. Both men and women seem to be playing it”, said Bhamidi.56.What caused “Angry Brides” to appear online?A.Women’s rightsbeing seriously abused.B.Anger at the practice of demanding dowries.C.The bride’s giv ing a great many dowries.D.The popularity of Angry Birds online.57.Which of the following is TRUE about “Dowries”?A.The custom of giving dowries has been in practice for five decades.ck of abundant dowries may lead to the bride’s being in violence.C.The illegal practice of dowries is still popular in many African countries.D.More dowries the bride gives mean a high social status of her family.58.The underlined word “spinoff” probably means____.A.relationB.connectionC.copyD.fake59.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the game “Angry Bride”?A.There are a variety of weapons to choose from.B.Ram Bhamidi thinks highly of the game.C.Men players don’t find the game enjoyable.D.The game character looks like a Hindu godd ess.60.What is the text mainly about?A.Women’s unfair treatment in the marriage.B.The popularity of the game “Angry Brides”C.The groom’s demanding too many dowries.D.How to build an equal relation it the marriage.DGay marriage, and especially gay parenting, has been in the cross hairs in recent days.On Jan.6, Rick Santorum told a New Hampshire audience that children are better off with a father in prison than being raised in a home with lesbian parents and no father at all. And last Monday(Jan.9), Pope Benedict called gay marriage a threat “to the future of humanity itself”, citing the need for children to have heterosexual homes. But research on families headed by gays and lesbians doesn’t back up these above views. In fact, in some ways, gay parents may bring talents to the table that straight parents don’t.Gay parents “tend to be more motivated, more committed than heterosexual parents on average, because they chose to be parents.” Said Abbie Goldberg, a psychologist at Clark University who research es gay and lesbian parenting. Gays and lesbians rarely become parents by accident, compared with an almost 50 percent accidental pregnancy rate among heterosexuals, Goldberg said. “That translates to greater commitment on average and more involvement”.And while research indicates that kids of gay parents show few differences in achievement, mental health, social functioning and other measures, these kids may have the advantage of open-mindedness, tolerance and role models for equal relationships, according to some research. Not only that, but gays and lesbians are likely to provide homes for difficult-to-place children in the foster system, studies show.Children of gay parents also show less care about gender difference. That’s likely because gays andlesbians tend to have more equal relationships than straight couples, Goldberg said.“Men and women felt like they were free to pursue a wide range of interests,” Goldberg said. “Nobody was telling them, ‘Oh, you can’t do that, that’s a boy thing,’ or That’s a girl thing.” 61.The underlined phrase “in the cross hairs”(in Paragraph 1) probably means .A.a great concernB.a big threatC.a political banD.a role model 62.It can be learned from the passage that Rick Santorum___. A.opposes the need for children to have heterosexual homes B.thinks children are better off with a father in prison C.believes children are better off in heterosexual homes D.is in favor of children being raised by lesbian parents 63.From Abbie Goldberg’s words, we can learn that____. A.Most heterosexual parents have children by accidentB.Gays and lesbians consider carefully before becoming parentsC.Heterosexual parents are not committed in the marriageD.There’s no gender difference in gay and lesbian parenti ng 64.From the passage, we can infer that___. A.Children of gay parents are more talented B.Gay parents like adopting poor childrenC.Children of gay parents may enjoy more freedomD.Gay parents show no difference in social functioning65.Which of the following is the advantage of kids of gay parents?A.Tolerance .B.More talents.C. Achievement.D.Mental health.第II 卷（45分）V . 阅读表达（15分）注意字数要求．．．．．．I want to give some sound advice to people who just can’t seem to find their purposes or paths in life.

It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.29．In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when .A. hunters shoot at animalsB. they aim at a criminalC. objects are under controlD. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard30．According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because .A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animalsB. state government encourages hunters to use other gunsC. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animalsD. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns31．This passage mainly talks about .A. the relation between hunting and handgun controlB. the importance of aim practiceC. how handgun control affects huntingD. different types of guns used in huntingGiven Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australiansociety is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural munities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Muc h of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had bee a nation of immigrants. Originally ing almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians es from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal pos twar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural munities in the world.32．What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.The majority of people living in Australia e from Europe.The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.34．The underlined pronoun ‘it’ in the final paragraph refers to “_______”. munity B. racism C. blend of Nations D. Southeast Asia35．We can infer from the passage that _____.A. there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern citiesB. Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD. “riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural munities 36．This passage mainly focuses on Australia’s ______.A. societyB. economyC. racial problemsD. historyIn cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decision, such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.37．There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may________.cause a shortage of apartmentsworry those who rent apartments as homes.increase the profits of landlords.encourage landlords to invest in building apartments.38．We can safely say that rent control_________.will always benefit those who rent apartments.is unnecessary.will probably bring inactive effects in the long run.is necessary under all conditions39．There will be the problem of unemployment if ________________.the minimum wage is set too high..the minimum wage is set too early.the workers are unskilled.the maximum wage is set for poor workers.40．The passage tells us about _______________.the relationship between supply and demand.the possible results of government controls.the necessity of government control.the urgency of getting rid of government control.41．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.

It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.29．In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when .A. hunters shoot at animalsB. they aim at a criminalC. objects are under controlD. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard30．According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because .A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animalsB. state government encourages hunters to use other gunsC. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animalsD. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns31．This passage mainly talks about .A. the relation between hunting and handgun controlB. the importance of aim practiceC. how handgun control affects huntingD. different types of guns used in huntingGiven Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Austral ia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’ and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities inthe world.32．What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia. 33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.34．The underlined pronoun ‘it’ in the final paragraph refers to “_______”. Community B. racism C. blend of Nations D. Southeast Asia35．We can infer from the passage that _____.A. there are no signs of Australia’s colonial past in its modern citiesB. Australia’s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD. “riding on sheep’s back” resulted in slow development in rural communities 36．This passage mainly focuses on Australia’s ______.A. societyB. economyC. racial problemsD. historyIn cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decision, such as decisions aboutfarm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.37．There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may________.cause a shortage of apartmentsworry those who rent apartments as homes.increase the profits of landlords.encourage landlords to invest in building apartments.38．We can safely say that rent control_________.will always benefit those who rent apartments.is unnecessary.will probably bring inactive effects in the long run.is necessary under all conditions39．There will be the problem of unemployment if ________________.the minimum wage is set too high..the minimum wage is set too early.the workers are unskilled.the maximum wage is set for poor workers.40．The passage tells us about _______________.the relationship between supply and demand.the possible results of government controls.the necessity of government control.the urgency of getting rid of government control.41．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted.B. Minimum wage cannot always protect employees.C. Economic theory can help predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing.D. Economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision.Urban legends are stories that are told and believed in many places．Too many places，in fact．It simply isn’t credible that the same un likely events take place in so many different towns．For some reason，though，that particular set of events appeals to the imagination and the tale spreads．A very common North American urban legend concerns a mad man in the woods．A dangerous mad man has escaped from a hospital for the mentally ill．At some point in his life he has lost a hand and it has been replaced by a hook．A boy and a girl are out dating，sitting in a car．They hear on the radio that the area is dangerous，so they drive off．When they arrive home they find a bloodstained hook hanging on the door handle of the car door next to the girl．Missing kidney(肾)stories are fairly common．Of course，the details are variable．It might be a woman waking up in a strange hotel in Bangkok，or a manfinding himself in a cold bath in Toronto．or a young man with faint memories of wild disco party，but they all find a flesh wound，and discover that one of their kidneys has been removed and，probably, sold．The back seat killer has plenty of drama．A woman gets into her Car late at night．Another Car follows her, speeding，flashing lights and really frightening her．She gets home and keeps on pressing the horn．Her husband runs out．The chasing car stops．The husband demands to know why the driver has been frightening his wife．He says he saw a strange man get into the back of the car as the wife got in，and then hide．They go and look，and there is a dangerous mad man... 42．What is the writer’s attitude toward s “urban legends”?A．Curious． B．Disgusted． C．Frightened． D．Doubtful．43．What can be inferred from the hook hanging on the Car door?A．The mad man left it there as a warning．B．The mad man narrowly escaped being injured in a car accident．C．The mad man had just been about to attack the girl．D．The boy had meant to frighten the girl with it．44．What do we know about the three people mentioned in the third paragraph?A．They had their kidney removed when they were unconscious．B.
