It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St.Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将）of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to GreatBritain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close second---and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land---is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土). They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.56.

But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England.New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging stumps (根柱) of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of re¬moving stones from his land.The work of removing stones never really ends, because every win¬ter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Famers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones,That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high: A man ca n easily climb over them. But they keep the farmer’s cows from joining his neighbour’s cows.62. New England is an area ___.A. in the northeastern part of BritainB. which has been newly discovered by the EnglishmenC. which lies between Australia and New ZealandD. which lies in the northeastern part of the USA63. According to the passage, faming is difficult in New England because ____.A. the winter is very long thereB. the farms are very oldC. the soil is rocky and thinD. there are not enough machines for farming64. From this passage, we know the re¬moving of stones ____.A. must be done again and againB. is usually done during the winterC. is an interesting job children en¬joy doingD. was more difficult before machines were used65. In New England, stone walls are used to ____.A. keep dangerous beasts outB. keep the famer’s cows from wandering awayC. protect the farmer’s fields from thievesD. provide comfortable living condi¬tions for the farmer’s familyDFeeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong.Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).Subhealth, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as a border line state between health and disease. According to an investigation（调查）by the National Health Organization, over 45% of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.Symptoms (症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements--vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)--that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive system. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subheahh.66. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should________A. stay home and keep quiet.B. go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.C. have yourself examined in foreign countries.D. find out the reasons and relax yourself.67. Middle-aged people may feel subhealthy, because__________A. they have used up their energyB. they have lost their living hopesC. they have more pressure in life and workD. they begin to get older68. The answer to preventing you falling into a state of subhealth is that you should_____A. work hardB. sleep moreC. keep relaxedD. take more medicine69. As for food, experts suggest that ______A. we should never eat meatB. we should have meals with less salt and sugarC. we should eat lessD. we should have meals without salt or sugar70. The underlined word “alternate” in this passage means_______.A. arrange by turnsB. cause to take placeC. keep upD. take upEReading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” meant reading aloud without doubt. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction（分散注意力）to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy（读写能力）and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages are, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media（媒介）on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the t erm “reading” referred to.71.____ became popular during the 1800s.A.Reading aloudB.Silent readingC.Reading aloud and silentlyD.All the above72. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.73. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed_______.A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers74. Educationalists(教育学家) are still arguing about__________.A. the importance of silent readingB. the effects of reading on healthC. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersD. the value of different types of reading material75. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people’s way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.第二卷（三部分，共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
