Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary’s fault but we want to use another term instead of “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.”Th e OED says that “couch potato” began as American slang, meaning “a person who spends his or her leisure time sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”The Potato Council says its campaign is backed by dieticians (饮食学家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.Supporting the campaign, famous cook Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britain’s favorite foods.“Not only are they healthy, they are also convenient and yummy (美味). Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “dictionaries just reflect the words that society us es.”Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words in 20 volumes.But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.“If society stops using words then they get taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added. The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in an article in Los Angeles Times, in 1979, Simpson said.Nigel Evans, a member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.60．British potato farmers wanted to _________.A．advertise their producesB．call for a higher price for their potatoesC．remove the expression “couch potato” from the dictionaryD．let people know how important the potato is in people’s lives61．The farmers think that _________.A．potatoes have had a bad imageB．Potatoes are good for people by natureC．potatoes sometimes do harm to peopleD．it’s the dictionary’s fault to use the expression “couch potato”62．John Simpson thinks that _________.A．the expression can be taken out of every kind of dictionaryB．dictionaries do not necessarily reflect the words the society usesC．little-used words can remain in the smaller dictionariesD．it is impossible for them to take the expression out of the dictionary63．What is wrong with the expression “couch potato” according to the farmers in this passage?

It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say that when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provisions to supply the missing vitamins.An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as"beri-beri", which used to make large numbers of Eastern people who lived mainly on rice suffer. In the early years of last century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted by a germ (病菌) . He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had had the outer coverings removed from the grain, it was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was proved when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on remains from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to separate the germ, which he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ordered that the rice without coverings, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap, rough rice with the outer coverings still on the grain.Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unmilled rice (糙米) somehow prevented or cured beri-beri--even that a lack of some ingredient (成分) in the coverings may be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards separated from rice coverings and is now known as vitamin B. The milled rice, though more expensive, was in fact causing the disease the hospital was trying to cure. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.68.What does the underlined word restricted mean?A. balancedB. limitedC. diverseD. complex69.According to the passage, a good mixed diet .A. is suitable for losing weightB. should be only fruits and vegetablesC. normally contains enough vitaminsD. is often difficult to arrange70.What do we know about the disease beri-beri?A.

A Good Mixed DietB. The Importance of Unmilled RiceC. The Dangers of Beri-beriD. The Importance of VitaminsEAn idea came to me, and I turned off the lights in the studio．In the darkness, I took off my shirt and took up the cello （大提琴）; it was the first time in my life I'd felt the instrument against my bare chest．I'd never thought about that; music scholars always talk about the resonating properties （共振）of various instruments, but surely the performer's own body must have some effect on the sound．As I dug into the notes I imagined that my own chest and lungs were extensions of the sound box; I seemed to be able to change the sound by the way I sat, and by varying the muscular tightness in my upper body．After improvising for a while, I started playing, still in the darkness．I heard the music through my skin．For the first time I didn't think about how it would sound to anyone else, and slowly, joyfully, gratefully, I started to hear again．The notes sang out, first like a trickle:, then like a fountain of cool water bubbling up from a hole in the middle of a desert．After an hour or so I looked up, and in the darkness saw the outline of the cat sitting on the floor in front of me, cleaning her paws and purring loudly, I had an audience again, humble as it was．So that's what I do now with my cello．At least once a clay I find time to tune it, close my eyes and listen．It's probably not going to lead to the kind of comeback I'd be thirsty for—years of playing badly have left scars on my technique—but I might eventually try giving a concert if I feel up to it．Occasionally I feel a stab of longing, and I wish I could give just one more concert on a great stage before my lights blink off, but that longing passes more quickly now．I take comfort in the fact that, unlike the way I felt before, I can enjoy playing for myself now．I feel relaxed and expansive when I play, as if I could stretch out my arms and reach from one end of the apartment to the other．A feeling of completeness and dignity surrounds me and lifts me up．72．The writer put the cello against his bare chest to ______．A．test music scholars' ideas about the resonating propertiesB．experience the effect of his body on the musical soundC．reduce his muscular tightness in his upper bodyD．check the function of the sound box73．In Paragraph 2 , the writer intends to ______．A．explain his feelings of playing before a catB．identify specific pieces of music he playedC．express his feelings of playing against his bodyD．describe the sound when he played against his body74．From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer was ______．A．optimistic B．discouraged C．nervous D．enthusiastic75．The passage is mainly about _____．A．a musician playing the cello for an audienceB．a musician's feelings when playing the celloC．a musician finding joy in playing music in a new wayD．a musician's desire to return to his former profession第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。
