It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.You might think that I dont want to spen

17、d my summer reading, but thats not the problem: I love reading. On the first day of my summer holidays this year, I went to the library and got “A Gathering of Old Men” by African-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to and spend a

18、bout 30 minutes every day with the morning paper. So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Teachers and librarians dont understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books

19、that a friend of my mothers calls “spinach books”: good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer, I read them, hate them and get painful about the experience.This pain started three years ago when I was about to begin high school. As preparation, my English teacher told me to read “The Age

20、 of Innocence” by American author Edith Wharton. Im sure there are many people who enjoyed “The Age of Innocence”some might even say its their favorite book.But I dont think any of these people read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.“The Age of Innocence” is the story of a forbidden rom

21、ance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only experience with romance was my love for baseball. I couldnt imagine being in love, much less being in love in 1900. “The Age of Innocence” was totally different from my life.Most of my required summer reading has been like thatbooks written in a style t

22、hat plays with words. I guess teachers dont think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, though, a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include “The Friends of Eddie Co

23、yle” by George V. Higgins, “The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe, and “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value but, just as important, can also entertain kids on vacation. If the teachers could stand a little fun in the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more

24、enjoyable.41. The author thinks he will have a difficult August because _. A. he doesnt like reading in summer vacation B. he is to read the books boring and not right for kids C. he hates the English teacher assigning homework D. he hates August42. What can make students interested in August readin

25、g ought to be _. A. romantic B. out of date C. entertaining and educational D. pure43. The author listed such books as “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” because he thinks _. A. they can change his opinion B. he can learn a lot more from them C. they are of literary value, and enjoyable D. he has to do as

26、 teachers tell him to44. In the opinion of the author of this passage, a good writer should be _. A. one who describes events and characters in different ways B. one who is full of imagination C. one who is learnedD. one who uses a way of describing that makes the reader wish to know what to happen

27、next45. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage? A. Why Cant Teachers Set Us Fun Books? B. I Dont Like Reading on the Vacation C. Teachers, Dont Set Us Any Reading Assignments D. Teachers, Set Us Free B We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class. “You could

28、win prizes, our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”We studied the board cri

29、tically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that tendollar grand pri

30、ze, each and every one of us. Im going to spend mine on candies, a hopeful one would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich. Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. So

31、me of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewers attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet

32、another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then alwaysalwaysrewarding the same old winners. I believe I drew a sailboat, but I cant say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of a

33、ll of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster. I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, “What poster?” When the teacher gave me an envelop

34、e with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone applauded for me. 46. What was the teachers requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time. B. It must be done in class. C. It must be done on a construction sheet. D. It must include the words on the blackboard. 47. The underlined phrase “conjured u

35、p” in paragraph 3 probably means _. A. formed an idea for B. made an outline forC. made some space for D. chose some colors for48. After the teachers words, all the students in the class _. A. looked very seriousB. thought they would be richC. began to think about their designsD. began to play games

36、49. After seeing the good students designs, some students _. A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize50. We can infer from the passage that the author _. A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very muchB. loved po

37、ster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competitionD. became wise and rich after the competition CThe US airline industry is facing a new threat to its profits-heavier passengers, a report has found. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average US adult

38、 put on ten pounds (4.5kg) of weight during the 1990s. Transporting the extra weight cost airlines an extra 275 million in fuel costs in 2000, the report says.Earnings at airlines have already been under pressure due to the decreasing demand and a record increase in the price of crude oil（原油）. In th

39、e US, a number of airlines have gone bust and others are struggling to survive in an ever more competitive market place. While it is relatively easy to check the weight of a travelers luggage and charge those that burst limits, it is much harder to regulate a persons waistline. Some firms have toyed

40、 with the idea of(jokingly suggested) charging overweight travelers for two seats, but it is not a practice that has taken off industry-wide.Last year, the American Federal Aviation Administration increased the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads by ten pounds. Since then,

41、crude oil prices have hit record levels, with many firms responding by raising the fuel charge they add to ticket prices.The rising level of obesity（过度肥胖）in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms. Restaurant chain McDonalds has tak

42、en the main force of the attack, and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier options, which has helped lift profits.As with fast food restaurants, timely adjustment may be the best solution presently for American airlines. The prediction by experts, however, is that humans are se

43、t to become bigger.51This passage is most probably taken from .Aa government report Ba yearly economy planCan airline guidebook Da magazine52The underlined phrase “gone bust” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .Abecome stronger Bgot bannedCfailed financially Dexpanded further53The underlined wor

44、d “those” (paragraph 2) most probably refers to _ .Aoverweight travelers Boverloaded luggageCtravelers waistlines Dextra large seats54What measures did many American airlines take in response to the record increase in the price of crude oil last year?AThey increased the average passenger weight when

45、 calculating aircraft loads.BThey brought up their ticket prices.CThey charged obese travelers for two seats.DThey overcharged travelers luggage.55What does the last sentence of the passage imply?AAirline profits in America will be under even greater pressure.BThe population of obese people will inc

46、rease rapidly.CAmerican airlines will close down.DFast food restaurants will be forced to change their menus. DMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses

47、when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses,

48、while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will

49、 stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Hu

50、mans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter

51、, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 56. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _. A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely diff

52、erent food57. Which of the following eats only one type of food? A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird. C. The bear. D. The fox. 58. Certain animals change their choice of food when _. A. the season changes B. the food color changes C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by diffe

53、rent smells59According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE? A. Many animals recognize their food because they taste it. B. All the animals have a varied diet. C. Most animals depend on more than one sense. D. Eating too much red meat and animal products is beneficial to the hea

54、lth.60. We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet 第二节 信息匹配 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。下面几篇小短文是关于人们交往场所的信息。请阅读下列应用文，并按照要求匹配信息。
