Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, and arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it?" they used to ask. "You aren't unhappy at home, are you? .... ““Of course not," Johnny replied.” Then why?" "I just like seeing places," Johnny told them.Johnny continued to "see places" although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he used to travel hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to get on board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some corridors and got on board the nearest plane.In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed maths and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" his teachers asked him. Johnny did not take long to answer that question. "An explorer!" he answered. "But it's difficult to become an explorer in this modem age." they tried to tell him, But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in one of the daily papers. An expedition was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were vacancies for three young people "willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure". Johnny applied, and, two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.56. Johnny frequently left home because_________.A. he preferred to stay homeB. he enjoyed seeing new placesC. he couldn’t d o well at schoolD. he didn’t get along well with his parents57. People around Johnny_______.A. tried to stop him from slipping awayB. kept following him to get him backC. booked tickets for him if necessaryD. were closer about how he traveled abroad58. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. Johnny worked for a daily paperB. Johnny lacked a sense of adventureC. Johnny went exploring along the Amazon RiverD. Johnny went to Brazil months after he finished school.BEditor Henry Slocum,I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books, or e-books, with great interest. You made several good points about the disadvantage of e-books. You may have overlooked, however, some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books. Yes, e-books are expensive, but they are also convenient. In addition, duo to their environment-friendly nature, e-books have the potential to change our planets for the better.E-books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, are about the same size and shape as regular books. They have a large screen in the middle, however, this screen shows the reader a page of the text that has been downloaded from a computer. Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen, he or she scrolls down to see a new page. Theprocess continues until the entire book has been read.As you pointed out, Mr. Slocum, it’s great to lie on a warm, sandy beach with a book. You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book. In fact, because e-books are so light, you can carry themselves. Say, for example, that you like to read on the bus. Which would you rather carry with you---a heavy 800-page novel, or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well. They are more environment-friendly than traditional books. At present, thousands of trees cut down each year to meet the publishing industry’s demand for paper. Books that don’t sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed, This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books, which require no paper.Sincerely,David Eng59. What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books?A. InterestingB. ExpensiveC. ConvenientD. Environment-friendly60. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. What an e-book isB. Why e-books are popularC. How e-books have developedD. Who are the readers of e-books61. In David’s letter, he thinks that_______A. E-books will come down in priceB. E-books come in various sizes and shapesC. E-books do little harm to the environmentD. E-books are no better than traditional books62. The main purpose of the letter is to ________A. explain how to read e-booksB. honor the person who invented e-booksC. scold publishers for wasting so much paperD. provide evidence that e-books are a good ideaCLosing weight comes with a lot of health benefits---including make your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits(缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some king of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to access their abilities if memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24%of the patients showed damaged learning and 23%showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average for cognitive functions. Scores for the volun teer who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.The study helped, Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s been the positive effect that weight loss can have one memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operation, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well.” He says.63. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers________.A. believe overweight only affects our bodyB. have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mindC. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions64. The result of Gunstad’s study shows that_______A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memor yB. Losing weight can improve people’s mental functionsC. overweight people are likely to have psychology problemD. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly65. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than overweight peopleB. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weightC. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operationD. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise66. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Body Weight and HealthB. Losing Weight by OperationC. Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your MindDSeeing in StereoHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles. Working as a team, they eyes send the images to your brain, which puts them together into a single, centered image.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D. Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it. If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions—height and width---can be perceived. A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals with the same arrangement. They are all animal that hunt, like lions and wolves. Their eyes face directly in front of them. This provided a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. In order to stay alive, they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind. However, without stereoscopic sight, they have difficulty determining how far a danger is.With sight both stereoscopic and binocular, human share with animal hunters the ability to see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance. If you think it would be great to have another type of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.67. According to the passage, an eye is like a camera because both_______A. can record imagesB. can imagine objectsC. provide centered imagesD. work at the same height68. Stereoscopic sight is a result of having_________.A. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sightB. hundreds of eyes, all seeing parts of an imageC. two eyes close to one another that work togetherD. one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image69. The underlined word “perceived” in paragraph 3means________.A. setB. takenC. seenD. understood70. The author implies that “seeing in stereo”________.A. is similar to the way camera workB. is an ability humans are fortunate to haveC. would be better for a wider field of sightD. helps people to have better sight than animals第二节Puppy FoodA puppy (young dog) is a precious addition to any family. The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories. Like all of us, though, your puppy must have adequate nutrition right from the start to make certain that it’ll have a long and healthy life.____71____You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging. Some dry food produced especially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth. _____72_____Contrary to the belief of many first time puppy owners, it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium, protein, and vitamin levels. _____73_____In addition, a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large-breed dogs. If you have a small-breed puppy, you can buy that kind of food.It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently, as your puppy may become selective about food. ___74____Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine, but they should not be a main part of puppy’s diet.Young puppies should be fed three times a day. Each puppy is unique, however, so feeding them twice a day is acceptable. After ten to twelve weeks of age, feed your puppy twice per day. Allow your puppy to cat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes. ____75____If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all time, he may become overweight and have health problem as an adult. Like humans, your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times.A.Pick up the dish with the remaining foodB.Proper food id a basic necessity for your puppiesC.Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to haveD.It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced dietE. A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned foodF.One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organsG.It’s good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节你的英国朋友Tim打算暑假来北京学习汉语，来信向你咨询你校国际版的汉语课程。
