But there’s just so much going on, the theaters, restaurants, shops and museums. They make London and Paris like country towns. The only problem was the weather.M: What a shame!Text 8M: And onto this morning’s local traffic news. Driving conditions have been improved. Now the early morning fog has gone. Rain is forecast for tonight, but it would be fine during the day. Traffic police have warned drivers to expect delays coming into town in the afternoon because of repairs to Victoria Bridge.

I’ve never met him before, and was a little nervous. I drove into to wn and was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I just started backing into the space when another car drove into it. I was very angry. I opened my window and shouted at the other driver. He ignored me and walked away. It took my twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I have parked the car, I rushed into the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment.I went to the manager’s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space.Text 10M: Hello?W: Dad, it’s me, Kirsty.M: Kirsty! How are you?W: I’m fine but still a little tired.M: I can imagine.

Did you know that it’s harder to forget smells than to forget facts? There have been experiments where people could pick out a particular smell thirty days after smelling it for the first time.M: Really?

Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things.

When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers.

Four, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing the story? I’d like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear?4、广东卷1.W: Hi, Jack.

But during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City. Bikila was really strong as he began the marathon. But at the third of the way into the race he suddenly dropped out. He’d been suffering from a pain in his left leg a nd could run no more. Mamo Wolde, another Ethiopian runner saw Bikila drop out and immediately poured on the speed as if he was filling his fallen teammate's shoes. Wolde gave Ethiopia its third marathon victory. But the drama of this marathon did not end when Wolde crossed the finishing line. A little more than an hour later, word was passed to the remaining audience that the last runner of marathon was arriving. Into the stadium, came Akhwari of Tanzania, his leg was bloody and bandaged. Moving with pain at every step, he pressed on and finally got passed the finishing line. The crowd cheered as if this last runner had been the winner.4.M: Hey, Lucy.

So arrive on time. What about common greetings?W: Well, Germans often shake hands and they use the person’s family name unless they are really close friends.M: Ok. What about with Claudia?W: Uh, you can call her Claudia, shake hands and why don’t you take her some flowers? 5.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfe ct system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.6.W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is.

To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams. Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy.To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.6、湖南卷(Text 1)M: How much do I need to pay?W: Let me see.

秋天的况味秋天的黄昏，一人独坐在沙发上抽烟，看烟头白灰之下露出红光，微微透露出暖气，心头的情绪便跟着那蓝烟缭绕而上，一样的轻松，一样的自由。

不转眼缭烟变成缕缕的细丝，慢慢不见了，而那霎时，心上的情绪也跟着消沉于大千世界，所以也不讲那时的情绪，而只讲那时的情绪的况味。

待要再划一根洋火，再点起那已点过三四次的雪茄，却因白灰已积得太多，点不着，乃轻轻的一弹，烟灰静悄悄的落在铜炉上，其静寂如同我此时用毛笔写在中纸上一样，一点的声息也没有。

于是再点起来，一口一口的吞云吐露，香气扑鼻，宛如偎红倚翠温香在抱情调。

于是想到烟，想到这烟一股温煦的热气，想到室中缭绕暗淡的烟霞，想到秋天的意味这时才想起，向来诗文上秋的含义，并不是这样的，使人联想的是萧杀，是凄凉，是秋扇，是红叶，是荒林，是萋草。

然而秋确有另一意味，没有春天的阳气勃勃，也没有夏天的炎烈迫人、也不像冬天之全入于枯槁凋零。

我所爱的是秋林古气磅礴气象。

有人以老气横秋骂人，可见是不懂得秋林古色之滋味。

在四时中，我于秋是有偏爱的，所以不妨说说。

秋是代表成熟，对于春天之明媚娇艳，夏日之茂密浓深，都是过来人，不足为奇了，所以其色淡，叶多黄，有古色苍茏之慨，不单以葱翠争荣了。

这是我所谓秋的意味。

大概我所爱的不是晚秋，是初秋，那时暄气初消，月正圆，蟹正肥，桂花皎洁，也未陷入懔烈萧瑟气态，这是最值得赏乐的。

那时的温和，如我烟上的红灰，只是一股熏熟的温香罢了。

或如文人已排脱下笔惊人的格调，而渐趋纯熟炼达，宏毅坚实，其文读来有深长意味。

这就是庄子所谓“正得秋而万宝成”结实的意义。

在人生上最享乐的就是这一类的事。

比如酒以醇以老为佳。

烟也有和烈之辨。

雪茄之佳者，远胜于香烟，因其味较和。

倘是烧得得法，慢慢的吸完一支，看那红光炙发，有无穷的意味。

鸦片吾不知，然看见人在烟灯上烧，听那微微哗剥的声音，也觉得有一种诗意。

大概凡是古老，纯熟，熏黄，熟炼的事物，都使我得到同样的愉快。

如一只熏黑的陶锅在烘炉上用慢火炖猪肉时所发出的锅中徐吟的声调，是使我感到同观人烧大烟一样的兴趣。

Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some restaurants are modifying the recipes(菜谱)of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while other are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditional and tastes.Tamlyn is in the second camp. "We select our food very particulary. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for our custards(牛奶蛋糊) we use Bird's Custard Powder," Tamlyn says. "Some restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different, and we stay true to that."Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients as a means of improving dishes. "There are a lot of existing perceptions about British food and so we can't alter these too much. We're a traditional British restaurant so there are some staples(主菜) that will remain essentially unchanged."These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie's, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemen's club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance(原产地). "Britain has started to become really proud of the food it's producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats."However, the British don't have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients."We can get a lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK," Tamlyn explains. "But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples."The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpretation of "British cuisine", while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2002. Singaporean head chef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine depending on what is available in the local markets."We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are presented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish."Although the ingredients may not strike diners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes across Britain.Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while maintaining the Brutishness of their cuisine.At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals. Small dishes, shared meals and "mixing it up" is not something commonly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dished to the table and offer individual plates for each dinner. "That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve them up however they like," Hill says.This practice is also popular at The Pawn, although largely for rotisseries(烤肉馆), Tamlyn says. "Some tables will arrive on Sunday, order a whole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig, and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them."Some British traditions are too sacred(神圣的) to mess with, however, Tomes says. "I'd never change a full English breakfast."1. What is British food generally known for?A) Its unique flavor. B) Its bad taste.C) Its special cooking methods D) Its organic ingredients.。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded 67,000 pounds for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their employer to accept legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is likely to start a flood of other worker’s claims; Mrs. Lancaster’s union alreadyhas 7,000 stress-related cases on its books.The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighborhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety, Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Oldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another," she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door. I would break down in tears. I was being in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank."In awarding compensation of 67,491 pounds, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster’s precious job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancasterwould be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be less capacity.After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me. I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted." The payout, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to review its staff and management procedures.46. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster was awarded 67,000 pounds for ______.[A] illness caused by her job[B] her successful and good luck[C] the courage she showed in court[D] the amount of work she did47. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster took legal action against the city council because ______.[A] it refused to award her for her job[B] she had to deal with rude members of the council[C] it was responsible for her problems[D] it denied her any clerical support48. The Lancaster case shows that employees have the right to get compensation if they ______.[A] are given work that they are unable to do[B] suffer mental injury caused by their work[C] are forced to do work that they don’t like[D] feel isolated, let down and extremely anxious49. It can be inferred that ______.[A] Mrs. Lancaster will find a better paid job in the future[B] the job of draughtswoman is very demanding[C] the court may hear more stress-related cases[D] the job of housing officer causes mental injuries50. If Birmingham City Gouncil plans to move an employee to a new job, it will definitely make sure that ______.[A] there is continuity between the two jobs[B] no complaints from the employee occur[C] the amount of work is reduced for the new job[D] the employee is prepared for any mentalproblemsText 2Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t, than what it is. And t hat’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted andrespected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning— in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.51. It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.[A] carry life learning though [B] tell the nature of life learning[C] learn without going to school [D] find a specially trained teacher52. According to the author, the schooling framework often ______.[A] produces slow students with poor memories[B] ignores some parts of the official curriculum[C] fails to provide enough knowledge about life[D] gives little care to the quality of teaching materials53. Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are ______.[A] clear about why to learn [B ] careful to make a time table[C] able to respect other people [D] cautious about any mistakes54. According to the author, life learning ______.[A] could prevent one from running risks[B] could be a road full of trials and errors[C] makes a kid independent of his parents[D] teaches a kid how to avoid being scorned55. Through life learning, children ______.[A] will grow without the assistance from parents[B] will learn to communicate with the real world[C] will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge[D] will be isolated from the negative side of societyText 3To find Kim Hyung Gyoon’s office in Samsung’s R&D complex, just follow the baskets of dirt clothes. No, Kim is not running the company laundry. As chief of Samsung’s Washing & C leaning Technology Group(WCTG), he’s the man behind a new washing machine that deposits tiny silver particles(small pieces of things) —about 1 / 10,000 the thickness of a human hair—onto clothes to make them germ-and-odor-free without the need of hot water. The device represents the first mass-produced application of this tape of nanotechnology —the science of very small structures—to home appliances. "In summer of 2002, I asked everyone in the office to take off their socks," says Kim. "took one sock from each person and placed it in a regular washing machine; the others were washed in a machine with the Ag+ Nano System. The next day, I asked everyone to check the odor of their socks after a day’s wear. One began produce a strong unpleasant smell, and the other was odorless."Kim says he came up with the idea five years ago while on a business trip to Japan, where he learned of a brand of socks that retained their freshness even aftermany days of unwashed wear and tear. Tiny sticks of sliver with germ-killing chemicals were woven into the fabric. When he got back to Seoul, Kim applied the principle to washing machines.According to the Korea Testing & Research Industry, Samsung’s device kills 99.9% of germs. Kim says garments stay germ-free for up to a month after being laundered. The Ag+ Nano device went on sale in March 2003 and costs around $1,150; the revolutionary technology is also being used in Samsung’s refrigerators and air conditioners.No wonder: consumers seem to a little sliver in their sp in cycles.

For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G ) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Heather McCoyEntering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boating knowledge of the true path to happiness.Whether this wave of infomercials and books can actually make people happier is the question. Happiness cannot be found by adhering to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to manual, it’s something that every person must find in his or her own way.Gary RussellDoes happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.Experiences teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a like manner, one feels of being loweredwhen confronting a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.David NivenTrue happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary whereas happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. True happiness is realized by understanding one’s own SELF. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to eternal joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should isolate and remove the negatives.Joshua PartyHappiness is a state of mind. You can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations. In the end, it’s your decision.If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness. As far as I know, the Human Genome Project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome which is responsible for happiness.Laura JohnsonSo what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I loved to write, not because it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spending time with my close friends from home that like the real me just as much as the old me. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching bizarre movies. Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statements.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Heather McCoy62. Gary Russell63. David Niven64. Joshua Party65. Laura JohnsonStatements[A ] Happiness lies in persistent pursuit.[ B ] Happiness is in your own hand.[C ] Freedom is positively related to happiness.[D] Happiness is based on comparison.[E] There does not exist a guide to happiness.[F] Happiness is a balance between man and nature.[G] Happiness is all about doing what you want to.Section ⅣWritingDirections: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part AYour TV broke down only one week after it was bought. Write a letter of complaint to the store where your TV set was bought,1. to express what is wrong with your TV set;2. to make your request (change for a new one, or return the broken one ... );3. to urge the store to give an early reply.You should write approximately 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter. Use "Wang Lin" instead.

Text 2M: Lucy is going back to China next month, Alice.W: Oh, really.M: And she will not take Rachel this time. Text 3W: I hate to say it, but Jackie isn’t do ing well in the film.M: Well, I only think he is playing a different type of role, but my sister thinks he is still the best.Text 4M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper?W: Sure, come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340.Text 5W: OK, time to go home.M: I can’t, because I haven’t finished the report about the newly opened restaurant. W: Well, if you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill.Text 6M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew.M: That’s great! How old is he?W: Well, he was five months old when I got there and he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I’ve ever se en.M: What do you do when you’re in your sister’s home?W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot which was nice, but what I enjoyed most was beating him.Text 7M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem, but not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around. W: I see your point, but I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving.

I’ve never been there before.W: Have you booked the flight?M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two weeks’ time.W: Book your flight right now.M: Why?W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it’ll will be. As a matter of fact, the New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas.M: Then, I’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning.Text 9M: Hello.W: Hello, Mike. This is Jane.M: Oh, hello, Jane.W: Listen, Mike, I’ve got a really problem. M: What is it?W: The car is broken down.M: Oh, now again.W: Yeah, I checked the oil, and I checked almost everythin g. It’s just not starting at all. M: You have to get ready of it, you know. W: I know, I know. But, look, the thing is I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport, Can I ….. M: Use my car? Yes, of course.W: That’ll be great; it’s very kind of you.M: Come on w hen you like, I don’t need it until tonight.W: OK. I’ll be around in about an hour.Text 10OK, when we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and somewell-known short story writers. I remembered that many of you said you liked the American writer Ernest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “A Day’s Wait”, because as I said we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now, since you’re supposed to have read the story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy wait for in the story? And what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the b oy’s father?

”解析：情景对话。

I'm afraid not 省略答语。

相当于“I'm afraid i don't know”，其中“not”为代词，制代前面说的事情。

拓展：类似的省略答语还有：Ithink/believe/suppose/ecpect/hope/guess/am afraid so/not; I'd like to, I'm glad to等等。

7. 答案：D译文：一辆小车对一个三口之家来说就足够大了，除非你需要更多的空间来装行李。

解析：考查连词。

unless意为“除非”，属于从属连词，引导条件状语从句；它还具有否定意义，因此它引导的是否定的条件（如果...不...）。

相当于“if...not”拓展：once意为“一旦”，表示时间或条件；because意为“由于，因为”，表示原因；if意为“如果”，表示肯定的条件。

8. A译文：连续驾驶四个小时而不休息不是个好事。

解析：考查冠词。

带定语的抽象名词前要加冠词。

此题中a good idea意为“好主意，好想法，好点子等”；take/have a break意为“休息一下”，可视为常见搭配。

拓展：抽象名词带定语修饰时要加冠词，例如：have a good knowledge of...; have a better understanding of...。

AAdrian’s “Amazing Race”started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn’t take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace（节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06--- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results,”she often said.41.

What would you miss most and least if you were stuck on a desert island? For me, it would be the changing seasons in New England. I guess this will sound stupid but I’d probably miss the rain, too. I wouldn’t miss getting up at six every day to go to work, though! What about you?Post 2TomasGermanyGood question. Steve, I think I’ d miss different types of bread, and shopping at the supermarket. I’ d miss the food most. What would I miss least? My mobile phone—I’d like to be completely quiet—at least for a little whilePost 3PaolaItalyI would miss the company of people because I know I’ d like to havesomeone to share experiences with. I’ d go mad on my own. And I sure wouldn’t miss junk mail(垃圾邮件)—I hate coming home every evening and a pile of junk mail in my post box.Post 4MikoJapanHi, I would miss Manga cartoon, the internet and Japanese food, like sushi. I’d also miss TV shows and shopping for clothes…In fact, I’d miss everything.Post 5RogerUKI would miss my daily newspaper and listening to the news on TV and radio. I’ d feel very cut off if I didn’t know what was happening in the world. What I’ d miss least would be traffic jams in the city, particularly my journey to work.Post 6JayneWhy hasn’t anyone mentioned their family? I’ d be lost without my husband and two kids. They’re the most important for me. And I can’t get started in the morning without a cup of black coffee. I wouldn’t miss doing the housework!Post 7Jaime MexicoIt would have to be music.

ThreeD. FourＣA Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce (确保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren’t used to the early hour.“Maybe these kids me being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,”says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent (青春期的) sleep at Brown’s School of Medicine.Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns.Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.Sleep patters change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at nigh and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matter of choice—their bodies are going through a change of sleep patters.All of this makes the transfer from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning—all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late”pattern, adolescent are up against difficulties when it conics to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a. m. for a 7:30 a. m. first hell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying. “I need a timeout.”48.

They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes,middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!”My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts”Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the sametime. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.52. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood_______.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together53. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _______.A. heart attacksB.

As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what I can do environmentalism(环境保护主义). ”On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) access the U. S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to aRight-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious (有生态意识的) person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “Many people say they are environmentallyfriendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands,”says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, “The clothesline is beautiful”. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming. ”57. One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ham clothesline drying is that _______.A. clothes dryers are more efficientB. clothesline drying reduces home valueC. clothes dryers are energy-savingD. clothesline drying is not allowed in most U.S. states58. Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?A. He is a kind-hearted man.B. He is an impolite man.C. He is and experienced gardener.D. He is a man of social responsibility.59. Who are in favor of clothesline drying?A. housing businesses.B. Environmentalists.C. Homeowners Associations.D. Reck’s dissatisfied neighbors.60. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money.B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered.C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.D. Different varieties of clotheslines.第二节：Molly信箱是一个报刊栏目，主持人Molly回答读者提出的各种问题。

糖是人体最重要的供能物质，无论何种性质的运动，都要利用糖代谢供给能量，当可利用的糖耗竭时，才动用脂肪或蛋白质供给能量。

运动中，肌肉摄取的糖量可达安静时的20倍或更多。

糖供能具有以下优点：易氧化、且氧化完全，代谢终产物二氧化碳和水不会增加体液的酸度；在缺氧条件下，可通过无氧酵解供能；氧化时耗氧量少，在消耗等量氧的条件下，糖的产能效率比蛋白质、脂肪高；产生能量迅速，且易于消化吸收。

因此被称为人体的第一营养素。

科学研究证明，对于以60％～80％最大摄氧量运动的田径耐力性项目，如马拉松、竞走，糖储备不足将导致运动机体疲劳，运动能力下降，不利于取得优异的成绩。

本文就田径耐力项目运动员如何补糖这一问题进行分析和探讨，希望对广大教练员、运动员能有所帮助。

一、运动员补糖的重要意义在耐力项目的训练和比赛中，运动员机体所需的大部分能量来自内源糖，主要是肌糖元和肝糖元，糖元耗竭可影响运动能力，特别是耐久力。

在60％～80％最大摄氧量的强度下运动2～3小时，肌糖元耗竭。

一次60～90分钟的训练课耗能1000～1400千卡，其中糖供能约占60％～70％，相当于每日摄糖500～600克。

然而，我国许多优秀运动员仍然存在糖“营养不良”状况，饮食中糖的摄入量往往只达到总能量的40％～45％。

研究证明，运动前补糖可增加体内肌糖元、肝糖元储备和血糖的来源；运动中补糖可提高血糖水平、节约肌糖元、减少肌糖元消耗以延长运动时间，延缓疲劳的发生；运动后及时补糖可使消耗的肌糖元迅速重新合成，有利于体能恢复。

因此，在进行大强度训练或比赛时应重视糖的补充，设法使糖的储备达到最大，从而延长运动时间，保持运动能力。

二、训练或比赛前的糖元填充法在长时间大强度耐力训练或比赛之前，运动员应该调整他们的膳食和训练计划，以便达到最大的肌糖元储存，这就是我们通常所说的“糖元填充法”。

大量研究表明，采用糖元填充技术可有效提高运动员的抗疲劳能力，明显延长运动时间。
