“You ate what you eat,” says the old saying. So how can we know what food is healthy? Unluckily, a lot of food that looks good may have pollution. Where is the pollution from? It has something to do with how people produce food: growing it on the farm, processing (加工）it in factories, and making it ready for you to eat.
Here’s what happens:
Most farmers use chemicals to stop their crops from getting sick. Many of these chemicals remain in the food that you eat. Some people believe this may cause cancer. These chemicals may also pollute water and air, and kill animals and even people by accident.
Most drinks are just flavored water (加味水). Every drink coming in plastic bottles which you then throw away means a waste. Sugary drinks make you fat.
In the factories, much of what you eat and drink gets messed. Often things are put into food to make it delicious and look good but they might be harmful to people. And some food like meat often gets polluted by bacteria. What you can do:
Try to get organic (有机的）food. Organic food doesn’t have any ingredients (成分）that are bad for the land, air or water. Don’t eat processed food or drinks. Eat fresh food whenever you can and cook at home.
( )71. Which of the following processes cannot make the food be polluted?
A. Growing. B. Eating. C. Processing. D. Making.
( )72. What may be the results of putting chemicals on crops?
①Crops may not get sick.
② The chemicals may remain in the food.
③ People may get sick after eating crops that have chemicals in them.
④ The chemicals may pollute the environment.
A.②③ B.①②③ C.②③④ D.①②③④
( )73. Things are often put into food to make it_____ according to the passage.
A. delicious and look good
B. become healthier food
C. much heavier
D. be cooked easily
( )74. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. A lot of food that looks good isn’t good.
B. Organic food doesn’t pollute the environment.
C. Some ingredients in drinks may be bad for people’s health.
D. All the food has pollution.
( )75. What does the writer advise people to do?
A. To have processed drinks.
B. To grow vegetables by themselves.
C. To cook at home.
D. To visit farms.

If you spend most of your days sitting at school or working at a computer, you may be taking up two years off your life. It is common knowledge that a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of heart disease and other serious illnesses. Many people think they can compensate (补偿)for sitting around by walking, playing sports or going to the gym. Unluckily, this might not be so, A new study shows that the bad effect from sitting too long cannot be completely changed through exercise. Even 60 minutes of daily exercise may not be enough!
The study is from Dr David Alter and his team at Toronto University. Dr Alter and his team tried out 47 studies that happened to different groups of people, and kept notes about how long they sat down each day and how much they exercised. They found that the most sedentary groups had a 24% increased chance of dying during the study than the least sedentary ones. This remained the case even though those who sat a lot also did 60 minutes of daily exercise.
“Reduce your sit-down time by 2-3 hours each day by standing up at your desk, taking more breaks to reach out your hands and legs,” Dr Alter says, “or walking on your feet as often as possible. All these may be better than an expensive, crowded gym and be just what the doctor has ordered.
So if you have to stay sedentary, why not try what Dr Alter has said to keep healthy?
( )76. What does the underlined word “sedentary” mean?
A. Walking a lot.
B. Sitting too long.
C. Reading so much.
D. Standing for a while.
( )77. Which of the following is TRUE about the study of Dr David Alter and his team?
A. All the groups of people in this study were of the same age.
B. They only kept notes about people’s sit-down time.
C. The longer a person sat, the bigger chance of dying he might have.
D. People who sat long just need 60 minutes of daily exercise.
( )78. What does Dr David Alter think of going to the gym for people sitting long?
A. It’s not useful at all.
B. It can’t help their health a lot.
C. It’s important to them.
D. It’s better than what the doctor has ordered.
( )79. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A. It’s best to reduce your sit-down time to live longer.
B. Most people have bad habits.
C. Sitting too long can make you fat.
D. Many people like to sit long every day.
（ ）80. Whom might the passage be written for?
A. Soldiers. B. Actors. C. Sports people. D. Office workers.
D
Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.
81. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.
A. more difficult B. easier C. more uninteresting D. more interesting
82. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.
A. the importance of friendship
B. to make your feeling known to others
C. the importance of communication
D. the disagreement between generations
83. When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that ____.
A. children should always obey their parents
B. they should be equal
C. parents play the leading part
D. both make the opposite know their feelings
84. The example in this passage proves that ___________.
A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
B. Sophie is very polite to her parents
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D. communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding
85. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.
A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know
B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away
D. Communication is a two-way deal
E
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty. Generosity and understanding.
86. Some friendships don’t last very long because ____.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends.
B. they don’t know friendship is something serious
C. those who give others friendships receive friendships from others
D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others
87. According to the passage , honesty is _________.
A. as important as money B. more important than anything else
C. something countable D. the base of a friendship
88. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?
A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
B. Always tell your friend the truth.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
89. According to the author, how do you help your friend know you better?
A. Ask your friend for everything
B. Don’t tell the truth to your friend
C. Share your ideas and feelings with your friend
D. Give your lunch money or your clothes to your friend.

Dear Mr and Mrs White,
How are you? Thank you for looking after me when I studied in Australia.
I experienced a big culture shock in Australia at first. But you were very kind to me and helped me a lot. I later got used to the life there. And I learnt many things in Australia, such as the language and the culture. I also made many friends there.
After I returned to China, I shared the things I’ve learnt with my classmates and friends. I really miss all of you. I hope that you will come to China one day.
Yours,
Li Ming
