The most exact term of all and the narrowest classification within health food is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kin of farm.In choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basically two choices: inorganic, processed (加工) food, or organic, unprocessed food. A wise decision should include study of the reason why processed food contains chemicals, some of which are proved to be poisonous and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed food.Bread is typically used by health food supporters as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely harmful. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very deadly insecticides(杀虫剂). After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also poisonous. Next, a dough conditioner is added along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals.A very poisonous antifungal（杀真菌）compound, is added to keep the bread from getting moldy (发霉的).Other food from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving (保存). You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative? Eat health foods, preferably the organic variety.56. What happens to food when it is processed?A. The basic content remains the same.B. The vitamin content is greatly reduced.C. The vitamin content increases a bit.D. Vitamin is not available after processing.57. What do all of the additives （添加剂）in bread have in common?A. They are all poisonous.B. They are all organic.C. They have all killed laboratory animalsD. They are all used to keep the bread from getting moldy.58. We normally buy food on the basis of _____.A. color and textureB. organic varietyC. beautyD. refined （提取的）contentsBItalian Lakes and Greek Islands (12Days)Prices starting from $1,999Your tour begins in Milan, Italy, and moves on to the pretty Italian Lake District and the attractive resort of Stresa, your home for two nights.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kinds of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. Shy people, who have low self-esteem(自尊), are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing (the right thing). Shypeople are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths, for example, not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to absence of inferior. Each one of us has his or her own characters. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.63. The first paragraph is mainly about_________A. The thoughts of shy peopleB. the causes of shynessC. the effect of shyness on peopleD. the question in the minds of shy people64. According to the writer, self-awareness is ________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of shy peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characteristic65. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it.B. They feel it is not trueC. They are very sensitive to itD. They feel they are worthy of it.66. We can learn from the passage that shyness can______.A. help us to live up to our full developmentB. enable us to understand ourselves betterC. block our chances for a successful lifeD. have nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.D.Animals and the places where they live are getting pushed aside as households(家庭)decrease in size and increase in number.Smaller numbers of people per household on average use more energy and goods per person. Greater numbers of households require more natural resources for construction. The possible result of the double problems may be that there are not enough natural resources to meet consumers’ demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity.Personal freedom and social choice may come at a huge environmental cost. Direct costs include visible damage to animal habitats and plant life. Indirect costs include the release of more greenhouse gases.The effects of such “personal freedom and social choice” have already surfaced in southwest China’s Wolong Nature Reserve. In Wolong it is found that a reduced average household size was directly tied to an increase in homes, and thus an increase in the amount of firewood used for cooking and heating. The rise in wood fuel use has led to the disappearance of forests and to the loss of habitats for giant pandas.Curious about whether other parts of the world were experiencing a similar situation, a team of researchers including Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich, well-known for his population studies, was enlisted to find out the household dynamics in 141 countries-between 1985 and 2000. Their study proved that the Wolong problem is part of a global trend.In the 76 countries considered biodiversity “hot spots”, such as the United Stated, Brazil, Australia and Kenya, the number of households grew yearly by 3.1%, while the population increased just 1.8%. Meanwhile, the number of people per home dropped from 4.7 to 4.0. The decrease in household size has resulted in 155 million additional households in hot-spot countries, almost always limiting biodiversity.In the 65 non-hot-spot countries-those without high-density areas of animals and plant species-similar results were found, though to a lesser degree. Even in countries experiencing population decrease, such as New Zealand, the number of households still increased because of a reduction in household size.67．What is mainly discussed in the passage ?A．Reduction in household size and increase in household numbers is a danger to nature.B．Reduced household size leads to an increase in household numbers. C．Modern homes consume more natural resources.D．How to meet consumers’demand without endangering animals and thei r habitats.68．It can be learned from the passage that China’s Wolong Nature R eserve .A．is a place where giant pandas and their habitats are not affectedB．is a place where animals and their habitats are seriously damaged C．sets a good example of protecting animalsD．is facing the same threat as many other parts of the world 69．Which of the following is best supported by the last two paragraphs ?A．The threat to nature from reduction in household size is a worldwide problem.B．Biodiversity is better kept in countries with smaller populations. C．Biodiversity kept in hot-spot countries doesn’t face threat.D．Both hot-spot countries and non-hot-spot countries face threat of the same percentage.70．Which of the following can best describe the feeling of the author?A．Disappointed. B．Hopeful. C．Worried. D．Angry.第二节七选五Have you ever started a diet or exercise program but find you need great motivation and willpower to stick with the habit? 71 Once a habit is established, you’ll find yourself doing effortlessly.1.Set Small GoalsSetting big goals is exciting but starting with small boring goals is more likelyto lead to success. 72A big change often sets up subconscious resistance, but you can sneak a small changeby it.2. 73Exercise or meditate(冥想)in the morning when your willpower is high.

We wanted to know that the Internet would become the most popular soucrce of news in the world. They have found that although the Internet has become increasing popular, the number of people which get news from the Internet computers to the radio or television is still small. When the Internet is popular tool, it is still not as easily accesible as newspapers, television and the radio, and due to the amount of uncontroled informations on the Internet, people do not always trust the news they find it online.。

The way you feel about yourself is called your self-esteem. When you have high self-esteem, you have a favourable opinion of yourself, even though you are aware of some faults. If you have low self-esteem, it means that you don’t like yourself very much. Self-esteem concerns the whole you—your feelings about your body, your mind, your 1 , and your interactions with others. Your self-esteem is closely linked to your self-concept—the view that you have of yourself. Your self-concept might be 2 or unrealistic. People suffering from low self-esteem often have an unrealistic self-concept.If you 3 from low self-esteem, you should begin working on it immediately. If you learn to feel 4 about yourself, you will be more confident. You will be more able to see the positive feelings that people have toward you.

Why do some people have many friends while others do not? ___1___ However, it is not so．Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations．The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois（伊利诺斯[美国州名]）, where the experiment took place．A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company．___2_____．The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone．They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in bothgroups．They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management．It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder．In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them．___3___．After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all- white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America．She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes．Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise．Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent（化学作用）for brown color found in their blood．Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted．Jane Elliott did not need to say any more．The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class．The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn．Then she discovered something very interesting．Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before．___4___．So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates．Congratulate them on their success and sympathize with them in their troubles．___5___．A．Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them．B．Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you．C．The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others．D．The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others．E．Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance．F．You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them．G．The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students．2. It’s not that hard to be a better writer. Seriously, it’s especially true if you’re starting as a non-writer who’s just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.1．Have a Structure． 1 Your body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according, to topic, each one dealing with a single element of your subject．2． 2 When you say a car runs "fast" , don't leave it at that．Show me how fast it is by ; detailing the vehicle' s top speed and acceleration, along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust．Do the same with every other significant modifier（修饰语）you use．3．Don't pad words． 3 Most of the time, this ends up turning what' s essentially nice; writing into unreadable nonsense．You' 11 see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning．4．Choose good words．Sometimes, the way your text reads comes down to word choice．Don't say " converse" when you can say " speak" ; don' t write "adjudicate" when you say "decide"． 45．Use a writing software．Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar．That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end． 5A．Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation．B．Don't let anything keep you from it!C．Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals．D．Regardless of what you do, your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion．E．Basically, put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers．F．Some ideas can be quite correct．G．Sure, a few mistakes might slip in now and then, but a good tool will take care of most of them．第II卷（非选择题）请修改第II卷的文字说明二、单项选择3.

One of nature’s great m ysteries is why the zebra has stripes . One theory is that the stripes help the zebra cool down. On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection. Hot air then rises off the black stripes, forcing colder air down around the white areas, cooling the zebra down. This, however, is just a kind of theory. The stripes can also confuse predators（食肉动物，掠夺者）when zebras stay with other animals in great numbers.Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at speeds of up to 56 kilometers per hour. They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator, like a lion, or an African wild dog. Usually the lead male of the herd stays at the back of the group to defend against predators if necessary, while the females and youngsters escape danger.Zebras are herbivores that feed only on plants and live mostly by eating grasses, although they also might eat a bit on the leaves and stems(茎) of bushes. They eat grasses for many hours each day, using their strong teeth. Spending so much time chewing wears the zebras’ teeth dow n, so their teeth keep growing all their lives. As the dry season arrives and the grasses die back, zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking. Most zebras have no specific territories. They travel from place to place, never staying in one area very long.1．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that__________.A．there are different opinions about why the zebra has stripesB．the black stripes help the zebra live through cold daysC．the zebra can be easily attacked by predatorsD．the zebra always travels with other animals2．According to the passage, herbivores are animals that _____.A. have specific territoriesB. only eat plantsC. kill and eat other animalsD. live in groups3．The zebra has strong teeth all their lives because their teeth ______.A. only chew soft grassesB. are used all dayC. are always growingD. are kept clean4．Which of the following statements about zebras is TRUE?A．They have poor eyesight and hearing.B. A lion can get injured by a zebra’s kick.C. They can run 56 miles per hour.D. They usually stay in one area all their lives.5. Which of the following TV programs might the passage be adapted（改编）for?A. Hobbies & LeisureB. Everyday TipsC. Digital StadiumD. Discovery24. When it comes to making a good career in the business world, being honest and getting along well with colleagues gives a person a solid competitive advantage, claims a new research.Dr.jon Bohlmann has found that project managers can expect better performance by far from the members of their team if treating them with honesty, kindness, and respect. According to another study , the Gross-functional product development teams, can achieve a great quality and better cost benefits from socializing and interacting with individuals who work for their suppliers.The first, Dr. Bohlmann’s study analyzed cro ss-functional product development teams, which combine together engineers, researchers and business personnel. The point to involve people with various backgrounds was to show that there was a focus on finance, marketing, and also on a design and functionality, right from the start of the product-development process. In addition to all this, this diversity also helped to make communication more effective in order to ensure that all members of the team were socializing and cooperating, and not just working at cross-purposes.As a result, it indicated that "interactional fairness awareness" indeed had an effect on a "cross-functional communication." In other words, all the team members who thought that they had been treated well and respected, showed a great increase in their commitment to the success of the project they had been working on in cooperation with other team members, and, in particular, when they realized their project manager or supervisor to be a kind, nice and honest guy.According to Dr. Bohlmann, the increase in such commitment is very essential and important because it could improve performance that would result in theachievement of team goals. And if Bohlmann's study comes to the conclusion that nice and honest guys are the first to finish, the second research by Dr. Rob Handfleld shows us that cooperating and socializing well with others can give a team, and even a company an edge, when it comes to product development.1. According to the passage, being a successful project manager, you should havethe following qualities except _____.A. honestyB. kindnessC. desire for powerD. respect2. What does the underlined word "they" refer to in Paragraph 4?A. managersB. team membersC. colleaguesD. researchers3 What effect can the commitment mentioned by Dr. Bohlmann have on our work?A. ensuring great quality of productB. giving a team, and even a company an edgeC. making communication effectiveD. helping us perform better4. What will the author most possibly write in the next paragraph?A. Dr. Rob HandfielcTs study.B. Dr. Jon Bohlmann's new findings.C. The importance of cooperating and socializing.D. How to cooperate with others.5. The best title for the passage might be _____.A. Team work is essential and important.B. How to develop a successful business careerC. Honest and kind people make better business careerD. Socializing and cooperating25. George Markov was a famous writer in Bulgaria. In 1969 he suspected that he was going to be imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria. Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria.Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him thathe would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg.When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel hot. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markov’s leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them.A few weeks before Markov was “shot” with a poisoned pellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well. When news of Marko v’s death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the poison had not been able to spread.The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They hoped to catch their attackers.1.Which of the statement is right about the underlined word?A．stranger B．well-known C．friendly D. unknown2．Which of the following was not mentioned in the passage?？A．George Markov was working for the BBCB．George Markov wrote many plays at that time？C．kostov was “shot” with a poisoned pellet？D．Both kostov and ？George Markov died at last3．According to the passage, Markov’s suspicions turned out to beA．wrong B．right C．reasonable？D．unreasonable4．Who killed Markov?？A．Bulgarian？B．not known？C．French？D．British5. We can infer that _________A. Leaders in Bulgaria disliked ？George MarkovB. The police didn’t find the person who killed George MarkovC. George Markov wrote some critical playsD. George Markov lived in Bulgaria all his life26. New York (CNN) –It’s official. “Bieber Fever” has broken and given way to “ Gangnam Style.”Justin Bieber, who was first discovered on YouTube in 2008, had previously held the crown with just under 804 million online visitors. However, rapper Psyon Saturday defeated the teenage pop star as the most-watched YouTube video ever, netting more than 806million views.The “Gangnam style” is the title of the song, which has been sung by a South Korean rapper, Psy, who was infact better known for his stage performances, and this video has made him one of the most popular dancingicons of the world.If Americans can make a movie called “Kung Fu Panda” and sell it to the Chinese and it becomes a No. 1 hit inChina, then it follows that a Korean artist, too, can rise to the top of the music charts in America, riding aninvisible horse and rapping in his own language - Gangnam Style, of course. Wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses,the 34-year-old rapper Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, is no stranger to the TV world, who has made appearances in The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Sunday, Golden Fishery ,just to name a few.The song has been sung in Korean but the video has crossed all barriers of language, as it has become a massive hit all over the world, regardless of the language. The video, performed in Korean, is downloaded largely by people who don’t understand one word of the language. The dancing style has been seen performed at various night clubs, dance floors, events, and functions, etc. Even famous personalities have been hooked on, as Ban Ki Moon from the UN, also for a brief period, recently tried his hand at the Gangnam Style. Music is a universal language.Psy, quite aware of this, told CNN recently, “If I have a chance I want my music lyrics to be Korean. The world’s most famous and popular language is music. So if we have some sort of solution with these k inds of dance moves and this kind of music video, can I use Korean if possible? It’s really huge history for my country.”For many, the song and the music just resemble fun, but Psy has a deeper meaning attached to the song, as it is a criticism of the wealthy neighborhood in Seoul, Gangnam. It would be interesting to find out how many of the people from Gangnam actually liked the video. Very few people around the world know about the special talent he possesses - the pop star actually sits down to write all his music by himself.Now, with Psy having gained world wide popularity, fans would be expecting more from the Korean star. So what can we expect from him in his new song? Only Psy would be able to answer this, as it is his think out of the box attitude, which has made him a trend setter worldwide.1. “Bieber Fever” is mentioned in the beginning in order to ________.。
