Loch Ness，the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles，is twenty four miles long and，at one point，one mile wide.It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand.It is cold and murky(浑浊的)，with dangerous currents.In short，it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.
The Loch Ness Monster，also called Nessie，is supposedly living in this area.The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St.Columba by Adamnan in the year AD 565.The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness.
The monster didn’t make headlines again until August 27,1930，when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat，throwing water in the air.In 1933，after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch，the number of reports rose suddenly.Early in 1934，Author Grant，a young student，was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road.Grant’s description of the thing—small head，long thin neck and tail with a big body，seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur(蛇颈龙)，an aquatic(水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct(已灭绝的) for 65 million years.
The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature.Even now，efforts have continued to find the monster.A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch，but they haven’t yet produced any specific evidence of a monster.
Skeptics(怀疑论者) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in.They also argue that an air-breathing animal，like a whale or seal，would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to，and would be spotted more often.
Some scientists have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep，long，and cold lakes，like Loch Ness.Such a wave might push debris(废弃物) to the surface that might look like a strange animal.
However，none of these is identified.
1． According to the skeptics，which of the following is TRUE?
A．It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.
B．The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.
C．The Loch Ness Monster is an air-breathing animal.
D．There is no so-called monster in Loch Ness.
2． The purpose of setting up the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau is to________.
A．research the plesiosaur in the Loch Ness
B．protect the Nessie in the lake
C．collect some information about the Nessie
D．catch the Loch Ness Monster

a．A young student met with a monster crossing the road.
b．A swimmer was attacked by a monster in Loch Ness.
c．A new road was built along the edge of the Loch.
d．The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was set up.
e．Three fishermen saw a creature swimming towards their boat.
A．b，e，c，a，d B．a，b，e，d，c
C．b，d，a，c，e D．d，c，e，b，a
4． What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．The natural scenery of Loch Ness.
B．The Nessie.
C．Skeptics’ opinions on Loch Ness Monster.

The London Eye，which is 450 feet in height above the Thames River，is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben，and weighs 1,600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2000.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.
Why did people think of building the London Eye？In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel，but three times lighter，and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed (敬畏)．
In London Eye，there are 32 capsules (舱)．Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And they’re air conditioned in summer，heated in winter.From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.
It was difficult to assemble (安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of London Eye were sent_up the Thames River，and the wheel was assembled on temporary (暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch (吊) it up to its final position.
Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium.And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.
5． How tall is Big Ben?
A．450 feet. B．350 feet.
C．550 feet. D．250 feet.
6． Why did London build the London Eye?
A．To set a new record.
B．To celebrate the Queen’s birthday.
C．To celebrate the coming of 2000.
D．To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.
7． The underlined phrase “sent up” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A．launched B．set up
C．made up D．lifted up
8． Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the London Eye?
A．It was the world’s biggest spinning structure.
B．It can hold about 800 people to see the views of London at a time.
C．It was twice lighter than the observation wheel in Chicago.
D．The temperature in it can change with the season.

Doctors say obesity，also known as severe overweight，is a complex condition.A doctor may advise medical interventions(医疗干预) in addition to changes in behavior.But experts say the more successful weight-loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise.
People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use.To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，or increase the number you use，or both.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week.This could include fast walking，sports or strength training.
A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the United States.Researchers at Stanford University studied more than three hundred overweight women，mostly in their thirties or forties.Each woman went on one of the four plans：Atkins，The Zone，Ornish or LEARN.The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.At the end of a year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and a half kilograms on average.
Christopher Gardner led the study，reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.Also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals.
But last week，another report suggested that only a small minority of people have long-term success in dieting.Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.And often they gained back even more.But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.
1． You are most likely to gain too much weight if________.
A．you eat the same number of calories as the number you use
B．you take in less calories than the number you use
C．you take in more calories than the number you use
D．you take exercise regularly on the weekdays
2． The third paragraph mainly tells us that________.
A．there are four popular dieting plans in the USA
B．the Atkins diet has the best effect on losing weight
C．lots of women attended diet classes every day
D．dieting plan is the most important
3． Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?
A．The change of your life habits can help you lose weight.
B．You’d better exercise once a week to lose some weight.
C．The Atkins diet may be good because of lowering the intake of sugar.
D．Some people gain weight back for their unhealthy diet.
4． Which one of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．Successful Weight-loss Plans
B．Four Popular Dieting Plans
C．What Is the Atkins Diet?
D．Few People Fail in Losing Weight

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
All Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water.They may follow game inland for several hundred miles，but they always return to the shores of rivers，lakes，or seas.Eskimo land has a bare look.Large rocks，pebbles，and sand cover much of the surface.Plants called lichen(地衣) grow on the rocks，and where there is enough soil，grass，flowers，and even small bushes manage to live.No trees can grow on Eskimo land，so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains.There are some animals in Eskimo land，such as rabbits，which eat the plants.Other animals，like the white fox and the gray wolf，eat the rabbits.The Eskimo is a meat-eater，too，and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.
The Eskimo year has two main parts：a long，cold winter and a short，cool summer.Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed.Summer is the best time，as food is usually plentiful.But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy.Winter is never far away，and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store，for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.
The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun.This is true in the middle of summer，for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland.But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all.Around Oct.21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them，and they don’t see it again until February 22nd.All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year.As a result，if summer is lighter，winter has to be darker.
Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black.As in the rest of the world，the stars and moon provide a little light.The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see.And with the ground covered with snow，even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.
56．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.
B．Eskimos like to chase one another.
C．Eskimos depend heavily on water.
D．Eskimos are meat-eaters.
57．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?
A．Dark with a little light.
B．A little dark.
C．Not dark at all.
D．Extremely dark.
58．From the passage，we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summer
B．Eskimo women are responsible for housework
C．meat is the main source of food for the Eskimo
D．hunting is an important part of Eskimo life
59．Why is summer lighter in the Far North?
A．Because the Far North is far away from the sun.
B．Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year.
C．Because the sun never sets in midsummer.
D．Because people see the sun set directly south of them.
B
Human beings are the most intelligent of all animals because we are gifted with the ability to think and reason logically.Scientists and even common people with special intelligence have made a lot of inventions and contributions to modern lifestyle in the past and even now.
Many household items have been the result of inventions of people who desired better functioning of the existent products.Every individual has intelligence and if it is used properly for the right purpose it leads to invention of a new tool or device.Many new household inventions are made almost every day and there are specific companies，which particularly keep a record of all these inventions.
A lot of inventions have been made recently in the household field.These products are patented(专利) and have trade mark licenses.The patented sliding cinch is a very simple but effective method to prevent shoulder stress and injury for those who work before computers all day long.Vanity PC is a type of computer furniture that specifically hides all the computer wires and keeps a clean and good look.All the outdoor dust，mud and snow can be kept out of the house by installing(安装) the dirt drain(排水管) at the entrance of the door.Another important invention is the automatic toilet night-light，in which a small light starts when the lid of the toilet seat is opened and closed as soon as the lid is closed.
These are some of the new household inventions invented mostly by common people.Thus，a variety of new household items are invented every day，which help in a better functioning of household chores and in a more useful manner.
60．The first paragraph is intended to________.
A．stress the importance of inventions

C
An organization based in the United States honors people who，in its words，“stick their necks out for the common good”．The organization is named for the animal with the very long neck.The group is called the Giraffe Project.
Phil Borges is among recent Giraffe Heroes.He is a doctor who fixes people’s teeth，but he is also a photographer.Mr.Borges started an organization called Bridges to Understanding.It sends photographers to small villages to give cameras to children and teach them how to take pictures.
Bridges to Understanding has sent photographers to Peru，the Arctic，Kenya，Nepal and India as well as a native American village in Arizona.Mr.Borges has also taken his camera to Afghanistan.He took pictures of women helping to improve the lives of other women and children.
The Giraffe Project says Mr.Borges stuck his neck out to connect children all over the world with photography.Two other Giraffe Heroes are Azim Khamisa and Plez Felix.They live in California.Members of a street gang robbed and killed Mr. Khamisa’s son Tariq.
The young man who killed Tariq was Mr.Felix’s fourteen-year-old grandson，Tony.He is now in prison.Plez Felix apologized to the Khamisa family for the actions of his grandson.He and Mr. Khamisa now work together to tell young people that killing and violence do not solve problems.
Since 1982，the Giraffe Project has named more than nine hundred heroes.These Giraffes，as they are also known，do not receive money.Instead，they are presented as examples for others to follow.Their stories are told through the news media，schools and the Internet.
Ann Medlock is the woman who started the Giraffe Project.She says it is easy to think that a problem is too big to be solved.The non-profit group helps people understand that they can start with small actions to solve small parts of a problem.
64．The name of the organization has something to do with________.

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things.A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning.Food poisoning is usually not serious，but some types are deadly.The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain micro-organisms(微生物) cause most types of food poisoning.Bacteria and other micro-organisms can poison eggs，meat，vegetables，and many other foods.After entering the bodies，these tiny living things release(释放) poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning.They are often added to food while it is being grown，processed，or prepared.For example，many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These include certain kinds of seafood，grains，nuts，seeds，beans，and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly，the risk of food poisoning is very small.Micro-organisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop micro-organisms from growing.Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous micro-organisms.People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it.Finally，people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition，some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water.If people eat natural poisons，they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.
68．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Food when poisoned can make people sick.
B．Food poisoning means death.
C．Food poisoning comes in varieties.
D．Food poisoning can be serious.
69．We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning________.
A．are always accompanied by a fever
B．are too common to be noted
C．can be noticed within hours
D．can be ignored
70．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．natural materials are safe in food processing
B．chemicals are needed in food processing
C．food poisoning can be kept under control
D．food poisoning is out of control

Is there anything more important than health？I don’t think so.“Health is the greatest wealth，”wise people say.__71__
