Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Have you ever seen people dance？Some dances are fast and others are slow.People's feet always move when they dance.They keep on moving until the music stops.
People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time.This story is of a different kind of dance.It is the dance of bees.
If you have ever watched bees，you know that they are very clever.They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home.
Bees live on food from flowers.Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden？When a bee rests on a flower，it tries to go to the centre of it.There it takes in as much food as its body can hold.Then it flies to take the food back to the hive.Then they fly away for more food.
How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers？One bee acts as a guide.When it discovers good flowers，it flies back to the hive and tells the others.It does this by dancing for them.
The bee dances on one side.This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers.But that is not all.The bee dances for some time.And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.
When the bees see the dance，they know where the flowers are.They fly away and return with more food for the hive.
Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around.But few people have ever seen them dance.Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.

Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live. Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet. Keep in mind that sugar can be removed(去除) from our diet completely. Over intake(摄取量) of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat. Over intake of protein(蛋白质) or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat. Only a few grams of protein do we need every day to keep our body in order. Like rain to crops, not the more the better.
Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with good friends.Just keep happy.
Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don't have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, it's work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.
Proper exercise. Do exercise to keep away from fatness. Because of the quick pace of the modern life, you don't have time to do exercise every day, but at least three times a week and 45 minutes each time.
40．Which of the following can lead to getting fat according to the passage?
A．Low intake of protein.
B．Low intake of fat.
C．Over intake of fiber.
D．Over intake of sugar.
41．The main reason why teenagers don't have enough sleep is that they________．
A．use mobile phones too much
B．have too much homework
C．eat too much sugar every day
D．don't have enough exercise
42．How many minutes do you need to do exercise at least every week?
A．45 minutes. B．90 minutes.
C．115 minutes. D．135 minutes.
43．In which part of the newspaper are you most likely to find this passage?
A．Medical Care.
B．Modern Science.
C．Health Report.
D．School Experience.

Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops. New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.
Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants(婴儿) are able to quantify substances(物质)—like sand or water—as early as 10 months. As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food.
With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount. Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount.
“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don't seem to count things like water or sand，”vanMarle said.“What we're saying is that they can quantify substances; it's just much harder. The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one.”
This information further refutes(驳斥) the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world”，vanMarle said.
“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, we've discovered a lot of early abilities. I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that there's somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development，” vanMarle said.
In the future, vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child's progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as “Baby Einstein”， still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.
44．The quantifying ability refers to the ability to________.
A．choose between different substances
B．get much knowledge of the world
C．describe the quantity of something
D．obtain math-related skills
45．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?
A．The process of doing research.
B．The scientific findings.
C．The final choice of infants.
D．The observation of infants' behavior.
46．Babies choose the larger amount of food________．
A．by saying numbers
B．with the help of parents
C．on personal preference
D．through their natural abilities
47．What's the BEST title of the text?
A．Breakthrough in Baby Studies
B．Amazing Baby-Training Ideas

D．Unique Quantifying Methods

Beginning in October more than 13，000 McDonald's restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald's aims to make its French fries and other fried foods healthier.
The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food.But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald's says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids(反式脂肪酸)in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats which raise cholesterol(胆固醇)levels and increase the risk of heart disease.McDonald's new step is important because McDonald's is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.
For McDonald's, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about obesity(肥胖)and are increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy and nutritious foods to consumers.
After three years of study, McDonald's officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald's says the change will not cause higher costs for consumers.
Though there is some change，scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonald's and at other fast-food companies is still important.
48．More than 13，000 McDonald's restaurants in America will use a new kind of cooking oil to________．
A．lower the costs of the products
B．make its food taste better than ever before
C．cure(治愈)the heart disease
D．do good to the health of consumers
49．The underlined word “switching” here has the same meaning as “______”．
A．turning on B．turning off
C．changing D．studying
50．When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald's，________．
A．the price of McDonald's foods will be a lot higher
B．consumers will find the taste of McDonald's foods different
C．many other food companies will do what McDonald's does
D．obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later
51．The main idea of the passage is______
A．McDonald's is a pioneer in food products
B．McDonald's is enlarging its restaurants in the world
C．fried foods can't keep up with the development of modern society
D．McDonald's is to use new cooking oil

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming or in winter，skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked up with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure(闲暇)．
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules，as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to any people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods，but the sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
52．What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage?
A．Soccer and golf.
B．Skiing and skating.
C．Cycling and hockey.
D．Mountaineering.
53．The underlined word “passion” could best be replaced by________．
A．strong emotion B．tension
C．feeling D．attention
54．Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because________．
A．it has man-made rules
B．it is too dangerous for climbers
C．it can't bring people joy and leisure
D．it is free for climbers to use their own methods
55．We know from the passage that________．
A．mountaineering has no appeal to people
B．physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers
C．a mountain climber would pass his best by the age of thirty
D．it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps
Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.
As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is “easy” reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does “his thing”．.. he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing(分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.
Another thing you do, particularly with nonfiction(非小说) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer rather than a critic(批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft(工艺)．
As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
According to experts，the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language meaning“Well”．In ancient times，people tended to gather and live around wells.So the original meaning of Hutong should be “a place where people gather and live”．
Another explanation says that during the Yuan Dynasty，about 13th century，residential(住宅的)areas in the city were divided into many divisions.Between the smaller divisions were passageways for people to travel through.And those passageways also functioned as isolation belts against fire risks.In Mongolian language，passageways of this kind were called Hutong.But no matter what Hutong exactly means，one thing is for sure，that is，Hutong first appeared in Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty.
In the early 13th century，a Mongolian tribe from the north became very strong.Led by Genghis Khan，the Mongolian occupied Beijing，the capital of the Jin Dynasty.In the year 1271，Kubla Khan，the grandson of Genghis Khan，founded Yuan Dynasty and set Beijing as the capital city in the following year.Unfortunately，the old city was completely destroyed during the war.So they had to rebuild it.At the time，there was a clear definition for avenue，street and Hutong.Most of today's Hutong were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed.Nobody knows exactly how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing.
Today you can find various Hutongs with different shapes，lengths or directions.The shortest one is only 40 centimeters wide，which means a person like me has to walk sideways to get through.And some Hutongs have more than 20 turns.With the growth of the population，many old Hutongs have disappeared to make way for high-rise apartments.
1．According to the text，a Hutong was NOT used as________．
A．a place for people to gather and live around
B．a passageway for people to travel through
C．an isolation belt to prevent fire
D．a place for people to get water
2．When did the Hutong first appear in Beijing?
A．During the Jin Dynasty.
B．During the Yuan Dynasty.
C．During the Ming Dynasty.
D．During the Qing Dynasty.
3．What can be known from the last two paragraphs?
A．Genghis Khan set Beijing as the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.
B．Most of the Hutongs that can be seen now were built only during the Ming Dynasty.
C．Hutongs differ in shapes，lengths and directions.
D．Hutongs will be forever kept although there are many high-rise apartments.

From the earliest times，man has been interested in art.People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures.
Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre(卢浮宫)in Paris，France.The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.
The Louvre has not always been a museum.The first building was a fort (炮台)．In 1190，it was the king's castle with high walls and a round tower.It had a moat to keep out his enemies.
Over the years，the number of buildings around the castle grew.By 1350，the castle was no longer needed as a fort.The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
During times of peace，new treasures were brought in.During days of war，many treasures were stolen，and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis Ⅰ became king of France in 1515，he brought in artists from many countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci's “Mona Lisa”is the best known painting in the museum today.
In 1793，the Louvre became a public museum，just as it is now.It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.

City residents often say the constant noise, traffic and crowds of the city would drive them mad. Well, they might be right, according to the latest research.
City residents are more likely to develop mental illnesses such as schizophrenia(精神分裂症) than those who live in rural areas, a study has found.
Researchers from Cardiff University examined the lifestyles of more than 200，000 people in Sweden and found that those who lived in urban areas were more at risk from psychosis(精神病) than people who lived in villages.
The experts don't know exactly why this is but they suggest that town and city residents are more likely to be rejected by those around them. They will experience discrimination(歧视) if they do not fit in, which can lead to them feeling anxious and even developing mental illnesses.
Dr Stanley Zammit, who led the research published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, said，“Urban areas have a higher influence of schizophrenia than rural areas.”
He also added that people living in towns and cities were more likely to develop other mental illnesses that result in personality changes—a condition known as non-affective psychosis. It is not the first time researches have shown that country life is healthier.
