32、ristopher Columbus Museum overlooks a river C. tickets are needed for Wisconsin Historical MuseumD. Swiss Historical Village is open for half a year BMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there arc a number of reasons for

33、 this.Some people blame the fact that we arc surrounded (包围) 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

34、 children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and choc

35、olate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When

36、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 probl

37、em, 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.60. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A. Those who often watch television. B. Those who often take exercise. C. Thos

38、e who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school.61. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because_. A. their parents often cook meals for them B. they are too busy to go out and play C. they cant choose what to eat D. there are too many fast food shops around62. T

39、he main purpose of the text is to _. A. tell a story B. provide facts C. give advice D. compare opinionsCEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for- its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompe

40、iis people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt

41、 safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almo

42、st all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and f

43、ountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii lik

44、ed wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work c

45、ontinues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.63. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays D. To see how Pompeiian

46、s lived.64. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again. B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun. D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.65. Why did the city uncovered

47、 look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the vol

48、cano erupted.66. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?A. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.B. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79. DThis

49、was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the que

50、stions: Why is science difficult for many non-science students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students notice

51、d one thing-the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didnt write anything on the board.The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science

52、 and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次) of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesnt happen much in undergraduate (本科) science classes, but it is important later

53、, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities (人文科学).Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on

54、 several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”But perhaps the m

55、ost important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better. 67. What do we know about this unusual class?A. The teachers did lots of writing on the board B. The teachers were invited to attend several lectures.C. The stude

56、nts were professors from a university D. The students were studying science and humanities.68. The experiment was designed to find out . A. how to teach the students in the science class B. whether poetry is difficult for science studentsC. what to be taught in the humanities class D. why many human

57、ities students find science hard.69. Finding levels of meaning is . A. important for graduate students in humanities B. difficult for graduate students in humanitiesC. common for undergraduate students in science D. easy for undergraduate students in science.70. What did the science professors learn

58、 after the experiment? A. They should change the way they teach B. A poem could be explained in clear definitions.C. A poetry class could be more informative. D. Their teaching was an enjoyable experience. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Muzak The next time you go into

59、 a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 71 Its similar to the music you listen to, but its not exactly the same. Thats because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you dont even realize the music is playing, but you re

60、act to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called “elevator (电梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” everyday. The music plays for 15 mi

61、nutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72 If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or s

62、ongwriters dont want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73 Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed

63、 to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. 75 . They say its boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it

64、 helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!A. Some people dont like Muzak.B. The music gives them extra energy.C. Music is playing in the background.D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.E. Mu
