The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B.C. In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe did not have regularly published newspaper until 1690, when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in English language was printed in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702.
In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campell started the Boston Newsletter, the first newspaper published daily in the British colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers in the United States.
Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation(发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies everyday.

Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture（水份） from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.
All foods including water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean (瘦的) meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is controlled.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about ll0℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder (圆筒), then put them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first process, the dried material comes off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively flakes (薄片). In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
29. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the fattier fish contain as much water as the lean one
B. the fattier the fish is, the more water it may contain
C. a fatty fish holds less water than a lean one
D. the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat
30. The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by .
A. particular B. scientific C. usual D. special
31. The last paragraph mainly talks about .
A. the reason why housewives like dried food
B. the general convenience of dried food
C. the methods of storing food
D. the advantages of dried, canned and frozen food
D
Bamboo (竹子) is one of nature’s (自然) most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass. Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo. Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green. Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings. Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting? new buildings and bridges while they are being built. In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their crops often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes?help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money. 32. How is bamboo like grass? ?? A. It grows quickly. ?? B. It’s wood. ? C. It is easy to cut??? ?D. It is very thin 33. Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesn’t grow?______. A. in China??? ??B. in Europe?? C. on mountains???D. in Africa 34. Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers?
A. Because it is cheap.?? ?? B. Because it has different colours?. ? C. Because it is strong.????? D. Because it has been used by Asians. 35. Bamboo pipes can?______. ?? A. make money???? ?B. be trees?? ?C. grow quickly? ??D. carry water

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。
A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked，probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest.__36__
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years-and nothing bad had happened.“And you know what？”she said.“I don't dry my dishes anymore，either.”
__37__One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The problem is，many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.__38__
So what is the solution？There's an easy way. Decide what you want in your life，and put that first. On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. __39__The choice is yours： whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. __40__ Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs.
B. Above all, you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly.
C. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
D. However，she went along with my idea.
E. Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office.

The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B.C. In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe did not have regularly published newspaper until 1690, when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in English language was printed in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702.
In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campell started the Boston Newsletter, the first newspaper published daily in the British colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers in the United States.
Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation(发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies everyday.

Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture（水份） from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.
All foods including water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean (瘦的) meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is controlled.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about ll0℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder (圆筒), then put them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first process, the dried material comes off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively flakes (薄片). In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
29. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the fattier fish contain as much water as the lean one
B. the fattier the fish is, the more water it may contain
C. a fatty fish holds less water than a lean one
D. the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat
30. The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by .
A. particular B. scientific C. usual D. special
31. The last paragraph mainly talks about .
A. the reason why housewives like dried food
B. the general convenience of dried food
C. the methods of storing food
D. the advantages of dried, canned and frozen food
D
Bamboo (竹子) is one of nature’s (自然) most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass. Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo. Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green. Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings. Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting? new buildings and bridges while they are being built. In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their crops often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes?help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money. 32. How is bamboo like grass? ?? A. It grows quickly. ?? B. It’s wood. ? C. It is easy to cut??? ?D. It is very thin 33. Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesn’t grow?______. A. in China??? ??B. in Europe?? C. on mountains???D. in Africa 34. Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers?
A. Because it is cheap.?? ?? B. Because it has different colours?. ? C. Because it is strong.????? D. Because it has been used by Asians. 35. Bamboo pipes can?______. ?? A. make money???? ?B. be trees?? ?C. grow quickly? ??D. carry water

A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked，probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest.__36__
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years-and nothing bad had happened.“And you know what？”she said.“I don't dry my dishes anymore，either.”
__37__One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The problem is，many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.__38__
So what is the solution？There's an easy way. Decide what you want in your life，and put that first. On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. __39__The choice is yours： whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. __40__ Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs.
B. Above all, you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly.
C. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
D. However，she went along with my idea.
E. Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office.
