I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 36．According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A．Those who often take exercise.B．Those who often watch television.C．Those who often have meals at home.D．Those who often walk to school.37．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseA．their parents often cook meals for themB．they are too busy to go out and playC．they can' t choose what to eatD．there are too many fast food shops around38．The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.A．forcing B．guiding C．driving D．moving39．The main purpose of the text is to _________.A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinionsBThe Field Museum1400s, Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL60605—2496(312)922—9410HoursRegular hours are 9:00am--5:00 pm, daily.

From the beginning, people may sendthe wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.43. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _____.A．keep each other company B．develop closer relationsC．share the same culture D．get to know each other44. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.A．even talk and silence can be culturally differentB．the English prefer to make long speechesC．too many words are of no useD．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature45. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A．By speaking each other' s languages. B．By sharing different ways of life.C．By accepting different habits. D．By recognizing different values.46. What would be the best title for the text?A．How to Build Up a Relationship B．Multicultural Environment.C．Cross-Cultural Differences. D．How to Understand Each Other.DResearchers in over 80 nations are taking part in a project to conduct a decade-long census(统计) of sea life. Scientists presented some of their findings at a recent conference as the project neared its completion.In deep icy waters under Antarctica, scientists found bulbous tunicates, an underground animal, and many newly-discovered creatures believed to be related to starfish (海星) and other marine(海洋的）creatures.Elsewhere in the world’s oceans, they have recently discovered many kinds of underwater life forms new to science. It is all part of a research effort called the Census of Marine Life.“There are about 2,000 scientists worldwide involved,” said Bob Gagosian, President, CEO of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. Gagosian helps manage the project. “Everywhere they’ve gone they’ve found new things,” he says. “The ocean basically is unexplored from the point of view of marine livin g things.”Researchers have placed small markers on hundreds of fish and marine animals to track by satellite their migration(迁移）routes and to discover places where sea life gathers.According to Ron O’Dor, a senior scientist with the Census of Marine Life, knowledge of life on the ocean floo r is especially limited. “90% of all the information we have is from the top hundred meters of the ocean,” O’Dor states.47. Why do the researchers place small markers on many marine creatures?A．To protect them. B．To catch them.C．To research them D．To kill them.48. From what Ron O’Dor says, we can conclude that .A．the marine creatures mainly live on the top of the oceanB．human beings only know a little about marine lifeC．the oceans don’t need to be further exploredD．he considers exploring the ocean a dangerous thing49. What can we learn from the passage?A．The sea floor is at a depth of 400 metersB．About 2,000 scientists from America are involved in the project.C．The census of sea life will last for ten years.D．230,000 new marine animals have been found.50. Why does the author write the passage?A．To introduce the newly-discovered creatures.B．To tell the news that new marine creatures are being discoveredC．To encourage people to find new marine creaturesD．To prove the importance of marine creatures第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
