Many grammar schools (22) _________ (establish) hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families.

Try a raw food diet
When 17-year-old Ali told his friends, he was giving up eating cooked food, they were shocked. Ali, a keen Kung Fu fighter, who is hoping to turn (31) ________, is convinced that following a raw food diet, based on vegetables and fruit, is the key that will lead to his sporting success.
Ali’s sports coach is enthusiastic about the raw food diet, which is often (32) ________ to his students. “Raw food contains enzymes (酶).

Enzymes are produced by the body to help digestion, whether the food is cooked or raw. However, Professor Benos says that eating a raw food diet may have some positive effects: “A raw food diet is high in fresh food, which is richer in (36) ________ than many different kinds of processed food. The diet also encourages more chewing and takes longer to digest. As a result we do not eat more than we need. ”
On the other hand, Professor Benos has serious (37) ________ about only eating raw foods:“We may consume too much fruit. Fruit contains a lot of natural sugars which is not good for our teeth. Milk is eliminated so our intake of calcium (钙) is less, and we may fail to get enough iron and zinc (锌).”

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A （15分）
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The building is known as the Swiss Re Tower. As a typical example of green building, what is most remarkable about it is its energy-efficiency. __41__ its creative design and some high technology, it may consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable traditional office building. Green architecture or green building is __42__ the way buildings are designed, built and run.
Supporters of green architecture argue that the approach has many __43__. In the case of large office, for example, the __44__ of green design techniques and clever technology can not only reduce energy consumption and environmental impact, but also reduce running costs, create a more __45__ working environment, improve employee’s health and productivity(生产能力), and __46__ property(物业) values and rental returns.
Going green saves money by reducing long-term energy costs: a survey of 99 green buildings in America found that they use 30% less energy than traditional buildings. So, any additional building costs can be __47__ quickly. The traditional approach of trying to minimize construction costs, __48__, can lead to higher energy bills and wasted materials.
Green buildings can also have less obvious __49__ benefits. The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, besides reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive. Lockheed Martin, a famous firm, found that absenteeism(缺勤) __50__ by 15% after it moved 2,500 employees into a new green building in California. __51__, the use of daylight in shopping complexes appears to increase __52__. It also found that students in naturally lit classrooms performed up to 20% better. The __53__ in productivity paid for the building’s higher construction costs within a year.
Despite its benefits and its growing popularity, green architecture is still not as popular as expected. The main __54__ is co-ordination(协调), because green buildings require much more planning by architects, engineers, builders and developers than traditional buildings. But, without doubt, green architecture will __55__ to reshape the construction industry over the next five years, with ever more innovative, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. “No one is doing this for fun,” he says. “There’s too much at risk.”

Section B （24分）
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere (干涉) with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to pass a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban（禁令）in Britain.
56. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.
A. for entertainment B. to limit the fox population
C. in the interests of the farmers D. to show off their wealth
57. What is special about fox hunting in Britain
A. It involves the use of a deadly poison. B. It is an expensive event that rarely occurs.
C. The hunters have made rules to follow. D. The hunters must go through native training.
58. Fox hunting saboteurs often interfere in the game ________.
A. by leaning upon violence B. by taking legal action
C. by confusing the fox hunters D. by arguing on the scene
59. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.
A. forbid farmers from hunting foxes B. ban hunting foxes with dogs
C. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D. prevent large-scale fox hunting
(B)
When my old dog developed major health problems, I knew that watching him fail would be painful, but I wasn’t prepared for the powerful lessons he’d offer in the last year of his life.
Chance was 14 when the problems started. First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath. Then came cataracts (白内障) in both eyes, arthritis (关节炎) in his legs, and a series of ministrokes (小中风) that threw off his balance. Any one of these misfortunes would have left me begging for relief, but Chance became calmer as the disabilities piled up.
When leg pain left him frozen on the floor, unable to rise for a quick pat as I came home, he didn’t complain. He just lay there patiently, signaling me with his hammering tail, each movement spelling out the value of waiting for the things you want. When his cataracts made steering impossible after dark, he’d stand calmly until I could guide him inside, proving how easy it is to find happiness if you let go of your pride and insecurities and learn to lean on those who love you. When ministrokes had him walk unsteadily like a drunk, he taught the value of persistence. For days after each attack, he’d fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he’d try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.
There were lessons in so much of what he did, but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it’s a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.
For most of our life together, Chance was always rushing ahead, searching out new adventures, then circling back to let me know what lay around the next bend. As an old dog, he did the same thing, using his attitude, instead of his once-fast legs, to show the way.
60. Chance suffered very much from all the diseases he had except for ______.
A. having problem with breath B. walking around awkwardly
C. having trouble drinking D. losing his eyesight in darkness
61. ______ is the most important lesson the author learned from Chance.
A. Living in the present and enjoying what we have
B. Learning to depend on those who we love and trust
C. That we should expect good things to happen patiently
D. That we should persevere in what we believe is worth trying
62. It is implied in the passage that ______.
A. people might suffer from different diseases when they grow old
B. people could face aging with courage and honor
C. pets would become calmer for lack of energy in their last days
D. pets and masters should stick together helping each other in difficulty
63. Which of the following words best describes the author’s feelings to Chance
A. Concerned. B. Thankful. C. Proud. D. Torn.
(C)
Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in. Some types of snake poison（毒）make the bite area swollen (肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some dangerous snakes:
The largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant — or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.
A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, gives out enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely meet with this snake, and we luckily have a treatment for its poison.
Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers fields with much green grass but can be found in forests and cities. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.
Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful attack in its bite. Most often, it attacks people at night while they are sleeping. Since the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps (痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.
The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour.
64. According to this article, what is a particular feature of the king cobra
A. Its seasonal changes. B. Its lack of movement.
C. Its sense of hearing. D. Its remarkable size.
65. According to this article, which of the following is known for its speed
A. The inland taipan. B. The black mamba.
C. The Indian krait. D. The Russell’s viper.
66. What does the article imply about the inland taipan
A. It was once believed to be extinct.
B. A chance meeting with it could cause death.
C. Some people keep one as a pet.
D. Very little is known about its behavior.
67. In which magazine would you most likely find this article
A. Let’s Explore Nature B. Weekly Travel Tour
C. Psychology Magazine D. Global Warning News

A Fairy Tales Town
Celebration, Florida, is a small town near Disneyland. Most of the people who live there love it. (68) _________________ Some members of the community complain that it feels artificial – like it actually belongs in Disneyland. (69) _________________ In the early 1990s, the Walt Disney Company had a vision. They wanted to create a town that reminded people of a safe, small American town from before the 1940s. They contacted a large number of world-famous architects to help them design the buildings. They told them to give each public building distinctive features (70) _________________ They also told the architects to make the homes look like traditional homes from different parts of the United States.
Another important idea in the city plan was to make it so that people could walk everywhere, so housing and shopping areas are all within walking distance. As a result, the residents don’t have a reliance on cars, (71) _________________
A big part of Celebration’s success came from its association with Disney. “People had an impression that if they moved their kids to a Disney town, their lawns would never get any weeds and their children would never get anything but ‘A’s,” says Peter Rummell, who led the development for Disney.

Things to Do After You Study
Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied. The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after the study session, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation from electronic devices, games, lights and so on.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning - what is called “wakeful rest.” A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember, or recollect, information from prose passages after doing wakeful rest. The findings appeared in Neuroscience Letters. This study involved 45 younger people and 40 elderly adults.” Wakeful resting led to higher overall recollection in both age groups,” the researchers noted. If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation you get. It is really that easy!
In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school's website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently.” It also says, “sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is essential for learning new information.” Robert Stickgold, a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, noted that new memories can be hard to keep. “When we first form memories, they're in a very raw and fragile form,” he said. Sleep is important for forming memories.
Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study session. Then try to get a good night's sleep. That's a simple way to help you remember what you learn.
