閱讀下列短文, 從所給的四個選項中, 選出最佳答案

　Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it ?Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?

　Many people are afraid to assert themselves．Dr．Robert Albert, author of “Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back”, thinks it's because their self-esteem is low． “Our whole set-up is geared to make people distrust themselves, ” says Albert．“There’s always a superior around : a parent, a teacher, a boss---who knows better．　　 These superiors often gain when they ship away at your self-image．”

　But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer “Assertiveness Training”courses, “AT”for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves． They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people．

　In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive---the need to share．The timid people speak out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．

　Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person．You will start to doubt your own good sense．You go by the other person’s label．But, why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do, you can learn to speak out．

(1) The problem the writer talks about is that ______．

[　　]

A．some people buy things they don’t want

B．some people are afraid to speak out for themselves or to talk back

C．there are too many “chiefs” and not enough “Indians．”

D．people don’t share enough

(3) The effect of our set-up on people is often to ______．

[　　]

A．make them distrust their own answres to problems

B．make things more favourable for “superiors”

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

　　If you have to miss one meal day（or if you want to do so），which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don't eat it？ lf they have to make a decision of this type，most people（especially dieters or very busy people）will choose to skip breakfast．

　　However，many experts in the field of health consider breakfast（the meal which “breaks”your“fast”which started the night before）to be the most important meal of the day．If we eat a good breakfast，they say，we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor．Nevertheless，many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal．What hap-pens if we ignore the importance of breakfast？

　　One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people．Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83．During the experiment，these people were given a variety of breakfasts，and sometimes，they had to skip breakfast completely．Special tests，including blood tests and endurance tests，were set up to analyze how well the participants'bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast．

　　The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast，he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person's work involves mental activity．The study showed that if schoolchildren eat fruit，eggs，bread，and milk before going to school，they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lesson for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is inadequate．

　　The study also showed that，contrary to what many people believe，if you skip break-fast，you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing．So remember，if you are on a diet，skipping breakfast will not help you．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals．

1．According to the passage，if people must miss one meal a day，most of them would skip________．

[　　]

A．lunch
B．breakfast
C．dinner
D．supper

2．In many experts'eyes in the field of health，which of the following is the most important meal of the day？

[　　]

A．Lunch
B．Breakfast
C．Dinner
D．Supper

3．From the recent study，we can find________．

[　　]

A．if a person skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast，he or she will work more efficiently and more productively

B．if a person eats an adequate breakfast，he or she will gain weight

C．if a person's work involves mental activity eats a rich breakfast，he or she will work efficiently

D．if a child doesn't eat breakfast，he will learn more quickly

4．Which of the following is true？

[　　]

A．If you skip breakfast，you will work with energy

B．If you skip breakfast，you will lose weight

C．Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

D．If you are off on a diet，you can skip breakfast

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A couple of years ago,before a trip to China,Nicole Davis and her US women’s volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (顯著、突出) of coach “Jenny” Lang Ping in her native country.

“I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,”said Davis.

Known as the “Iron Hammer” for her punishing spikes(扣球),Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s.She was a key player on China’s 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.

When the US team arrived for the Olympics,Lang,48,who is from Beijing,had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.

Then came the greatest moment to Lang：While the US team was playing in a packed gym,at least 8,000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag.

“That really says it all,” Davis said.“They look at her as an icon(偶像)．I’m sure it’s hard for them to see her coaching another country,but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.”

The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday,when China lost a match to the US.

“It’s a pity that China lost the match,but I’m still glad that Lang Ping’s team won,since she is the pride of China’s volleyball,” said Liu Chengli,a spectator.“We also cheered for

Lang’s victory.”

Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet.“It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team.It’s the same.” Lang said.

Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players,said US volleyball player Lindsey Berg.

“It’s such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China,”she said.“The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous.The whole event has been unbelievable.”

1．What’s the passage mainly about?

A．Staying professional.                                      B．Cheering for the Iron Hammer.

A．was afraid to be questioned about her strategy

B．didn’t want to be paid much attention to

C．disliked to be with her fans

D．didn’t want to disturb public order

3．What does the underlined word “unfurled” exactly mean?

A．destroyed completely                                    B．tore into pieces

C．spread out to the wind                                  D．rolled up

4．What does Lang Ping mean by saying “It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team.”？

A．American Volleyball Team will beat any team.

B．Chinese Volleyball Team is the same as other teams.

C．She just tried to stay professional.

D．The results of each match will be the same.

5．What impressed the US team players most?

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

E

         All areas of the world face a nurses shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.

         The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.

         Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.

         Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U.S., for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O.E.C.D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.

【小題１】What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?

         a. The demand for nurses will decrease.                           

b. Many nurses will be too old to work.

         c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.    

d. Nurses are often looked down upon.

         e. Aging populations will increase rapidly

         A. a and b                   B. b and c                   C. b and e                   D. c and d

【小題１】The underlined word “intensify” in para. 3 means “________”.

         A. strengthen           B. neglect              C. reduce                   D. cause

【小題１】We know from this text that America and the EU countries ______.

         A. refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nurses

         B. have at least one nurse out of 100 people

         C. don’t like to train nurses of their own countries

         D. have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations

【小題１】What does the text mainly tell us?

         A. Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries.

         B. The different attitudes towards nursing in different countries.

         C. Nurses shortage will result in serious consequences.

         D. The health care industry needs more nurses.

     閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A,B,C,D）中，選出最佳選項。

                            Mike McClure walked into Sarasota Bay for a little fishing on a beautiful day last April. This afternoon, the water was shallow enough at low tide  that McClure could easily walk 100 yards offshore and cast(投）his line in any direction.

     Near sunset, still without a fish, he decided to turn back. Rather than turn to his earlier course, he chose a more direct path toward shore, thinking the bay wouldn't get deeper along the way. Instead, he was trapped. He tried to walk in different directions, but shallower water eluded(避開）him. Finally, he decided his safest choice was to head straight for land.

     "Within  about five steps, the water was coming in through the top of the waders(高筒防水膠靴）," says McClure.

He felt the deadweight of the flooding waders pulling him down and knew that if he didn't get out of them, he would drown. But he failed to kick his way out of the waders. Instead, they pulled him completely below the surface.

Back onshore, Eliza Cameron, 19, Loren Niurka Mora, 20, and Caitlin Petro, 20, had been watching McClure fish as they rested on the grass after a long week of classes. They saw McClure go under and then heard him cry, "Help！”

The three friends kicked off their shoes and ran into the bay. They were all good swimmers, but all hid a fear that he might pull them down too because they'd have to dive to save him.

When they reached him, he'd managed to kick himself out the waders, but his eyes had partly rolled back. Cameron and Mora each hooked an arm under his shoulders, while Petro supported his back and held his hand. Then the three friends tried their best to tug him towards shore. Finally, they all returned to shore safely.

56.Mike McClure didn't turn back by his earlier course because _____.

   A. He wanted to choose a short course

   B. His earlier course was dangerous

   C. He just wanted to take a risk

   D. He knew where the water was deep

57.What directly trapped Mike McClure in the bay?

   A. His wrong decision         B. The coming high tide

   C. His waders' being flooded    D. The depth of water

58.During the rescue, ____.

   A. The three women were afraid of being trapped in the water

   B.Cameron and Petro helped catch  Mike McClure's arms

   C. The three women removed Mike McClure's waders

   D. Mike McClure still wore his flooding waders

第三部分：閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

The best diet for you is the one that you can follow for the rest of your life. Most diets can get you to your goal if you do exactly what they say.

The first thing to do is to look at what you’re doing now. If it’s easier for you to see where you’re going wrong by writing down what you eat for the next week, then do that.

When you become familiar with the foods you choose to eat every day, it’s easy to start to subsitute(用…代替)healthier alternatives and make better choices. Let’s take a look at some common lifestyle choices that could help you lose weight easily.

Got a soda habit?

Drink a lot of soda or fruit juices? Substitute water and tea instead. Studies show that just this one substitution can help you drop 20 pounds in a year.

Spending a lot of time buying food at the drivethrough fast food joint?

Avoid anything that you can get through a drivethrough window. Bring your lunch instead. Home cooking almost automatically guarantees a meal that’s lower in fat and calories than anything you could get through a window.

Never finish a meal without grease(油脂) on your hands?

Deep-fried foods are loaded with calories and fat. Fry in a little olive oil, instead.

Always having a lot of sauces?

Holding the mayo(蛋黃醬)or anything else that’s creamy(含乳脂的)? If you’re ordering sandwiches with special sauce or mayo, then you’re eating a lot more calories and fat grams than you think you are. Some sauces can add more than 20 grams of fat, and hundreds of calories to your lunch. Mustard(芥茉)is a good alternative. It’s flavorful, and has virtually no calories or fat.

Take a look at what you’re doing, and make changes you can live with.

56.All the following will help you lose weight EXCEPT________.

         A.mustard        B.soda      C.tea        D.olive oil

57.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

         A.To make a list of the food you like best can lose weight.

         B.To get a good idea of different foods is necessary.

         C.Home cooking is more delicious than snacks.

         D.Dropping 20 pounds in a year is difficult.

58.We can learn from the passage that________.

         A.mayo is beneficial to people’s health   B.most people think that mustard tastes bad

         C.cooking is a waste of time   D.drinking water contributes to weight loss

59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

         A.The best diet is a lifestyle change         B.Stop buying fast food

         C.What to do for the rest of your life       D.Lead a healthy lifestyle
