第二部分: 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并将答案写在答卷上。
A
There is an English saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into(调查) laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial(有益的).
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress(紧张；压力) and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
( ) 51. The underlined phrase “took the saying seriously” in the 1st paragraph probably means “________”.
A. treat as important B. treat as interesting
C. treat as dangerous D. treat as funny
( ) 52. Doctors have proved the following except that _______.
A. smiling does good to health B. laughter can be tolerated
C. there is a way to reduce pain D. laughter can work the muscles in the feet
( ) 53. The main idea of the passage is _______.
A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects on the human body
B. smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C. pain can be reduced by laughter
D. laughter is the best medicine
( ) 54. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to “______”.
A. test B. stop C. reduce D. increase
( ) 55. Doctors hold laughter clinics _______.
A. to give better condition to their patients
B. in order to improve patients’ health
C. to make patients smile
D. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

On the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate the feast of Thanksgiving. This feast is a time when the family comes together for a meal and gives thanks to God for the blessings they have received. The first thanksgiving feast was celebrated by the early American settlers who started the feast to give thanks to God for their good harvest.
In America thanksgiving is the family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family members make a special effort to gather together . The feast is always held on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.
The thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey which was a large bird valued as food for the first time. The table is filled with fruits, walnuts and many types of vegetables. For the sweet dish the main choice is usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.
On thanksgiving morning there are in many cities sporting events and parades to mark the day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4p.m. . The mother will prepare the meal and the father will carve the turkey. He will be seated at the head of the table. The meal will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is finished some will help with the dishes and others will return to the living room to talk or watch television.

Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.
As Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over 3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing states of the South. The Northern States has ended slavery. Yet most northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South.
Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom’s Cabin first came in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.
People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War, which lasted until of cease, was made to happen by many things. Yet Uncle Tom’s Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Linclon in 1862. As Linclon took her hand, he said, “So you are the woman who starred the big war.”
( ) 61. Before Uncle Tom’s Cabin came out, most Northerners ______.
A. were slaves in the South B. did not know how bad slavery was

( ) 62. While many Northerners agreed with Harriet Beacher Stowe ,______.
A. many southerners wanted war
B. many southerners had not read the book
C. many southerners were angry at her

A. Stowe was a very young woman

C. Stowe wrote her book with stories from her six children
D. Stowe could not work on her book at all during the daytime

In October 1949 the United Nations brought a number of specialists on food to Geneva, to discuss the problems of eating habits and food supplies of people throughout the world. One problem that interested the specialists particularly was a form of illness, about which little was known among the children in Africa.
Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor ( 恶性营养不良).
The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen ( 肿胀的) by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes colour and may break out in open sores ( 伤口). The hair changes colour and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.
The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches(淀粉) instead of greatly needed proteins(蛋白质). They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.
It was necessary that the children of Africa be helped to eat better. The doctors suggested that the production of foods rich in protein be increased; they thought that more fish should be caught and more nuts should be grown. That urged education plans to teach mothers better ways of feeding children. They suggested that the United Nations should send large quantities of powdered milk to hospitals and child-health centres. Finally, they suggested closer study of all the special problems connected with kwashiorkor.
( ) 66. Kwashiorkor is a disease which is caused by _______.
A. poor living conditions B. another unknown disease
C. having no food D. not having enough protein
( ) 67. One difficulty in discovering kwashiorkor is that _______.
A. people know nothing about it B. it is like other diseases
C. it is hard to see signs of it D. it does not last long
( ) 68. A main sign of the disease is that children who have it _______.
A. cannot sit still B. can not walk
C. have a large stomach D. are always hungry
( ) 69. A good way to cure the disease is by _______.
A. eating better B. eating more starch
C. eating fruits D. drinking pure water
( ) 70. The United Nations can help to put an end to kwashiorkor by sending _____.
A. drugs B. food with high protein contents
C. medical teams D. clean food

Jolin Tsai published a new book, Jolin’s English Diary Book, which came out in Taiwan in March. And what mad her fans excited was her new book began to appear in the bookshops on the mainland at the end of May! In her book, she wrote about eight aspects of her everyday life, like make-up. Weight-loss, study, fashion, traveling abroad, love and family. After each diary, she gives readers lots of notes so that they can use them often, too! At the same time, there are a lot of attractive pictures of Jolin’s daily life and her performances.
Jolin thanks it’s important to put English to good use. “Keeping diaries in English is a good way to master what you learn each day in English class. The worst thing about learning English is to forget something you’ve just learned,” she said.

A
There is an English saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into(调查) laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial(有益的).
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress(紧张；压力) and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
( ) 51. The underlined phrase “took the saying seriously” in the 1st paragraph probably means “________”.
A. treat as important B. treat as interesting
C. treat as dangerous D. treat as funny
( ) 52. Doctors have proved the following except that _______.
A. smiling does good to health B. laughter can be tolerated

( ) 53. The main idea of the passage is _______.
A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects on the human body
B. smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C. pain can be reduced by laughter
D. laughter is the best medicine
( ) 54. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to “______”.
A. test B. stop C. reduce D. increase
( ) 55. Doctors hold laughter clinics _______.
A. to give better condition to their patients
B. in order to improve patients’ health
C. to make patients smile
D. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

On the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate the feast of Thanksgiving. This feast is a time when the family comes together for a meal and gives thanks to God for the blessings they have received. The first thanksgiving feast was celebrated by the early American settlers who started the feast to give thanks to God for their good harvest.
In America thanksgiving is the family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family members make a special effort to gather together . The feast is always held on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.
The thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey which was a large bird valued as food for the first time. The table is filled with fruits, walnuts and many types of vegetables. For the sweet dish the main choice is usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.
On thanksgiving morning there are in many cities sporting events and parades to mark the day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4p.m. . The mother will prepare the meal and the father will carve the turkey. He will be seated at the head of the table. The meal will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is finished some will help with the dishes and others will return to the living room to talk or watch television.

Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.
As Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over 3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing states of the South. The Northern States has ended slavery. Yet most northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South.
Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom’s Cabin first came in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.
People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War, which lasted until of cease, was made to happen by many things. Yet Uncle Tom’s Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Linclon in 1862. As Linclon took her hand, he said, “So you are the woman who starred the big war.”
( ) 61. Before Uncle Tom’s Cabin came out, most Northerners ______.
A. were slaves in the South B. did not know how bad slavery was

( ) 62. While many Northerners agreed with Harriet Beacher Stowe ,______.
A. many southerners wanted war
B. many southerners had not read the book
C. many southerners were angry at her

( ) 63. From the text, we can infer that _______.
A. Stowe was a very young woman
B. Stowe’s husband was dead when she wrote the story
C. Stowe wrote her book with stories from her six children
D. Stowe could not work on her book at all during the daytime
( ) 64. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was _______.

In October 1949 the United Nations brought a number of specialists on food to Geneva, to discuss the problems of eating habits and food supplies of people throughout the world. One problem that interested the specialists particularly was a form of illness, about which little was known among the children in Africa.
Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor ( 恶性营养不良).
The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen ( 肿胀的) by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes colour and may break out in open sores ( 伤口). The hair changes colour and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.
The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches(淀粉) instead of greatly needed proteins(蛋白质). They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.
It was necessary that the children of Africa be helped to eat better. The doctors suggested that the production of foods rich in protein be increased; they thought that more fish should be caught and more nuts should be grown. That urged education plans to teach mothers better ways of feeding children. They suggested that the United Nations should send large quantities of powdered milk to hospitals and child-health centres. Finally, they suggested closer study of all the special problems connected with kwashiorkor.
( ) 66. Kwashiorkor is a disease which is caused by _______.
A. poor living conditions B. another unknown disease
C. having no food D. not having enough protein
( ) 67. One difficulty in discovering kwashiorkor is that _______.
A. people know nothing about it B. it is like other diseases
C. it is hard to see signs of it D. it does not last long
( ) 68. A main sign of the disease is that children who have it _______.
A. cannot sit still B. can not walk
C. have a large stomach D. are always hungry
( ) 69. A good way to cure the disease is by _______.
A. eating better B. eating more starch
C. eating fruits D. drinking pure water
( ) 70. The United Nations can help to put an end to kwashiorkor by sending _____.
A. drugs B. food with high protein contents
C. medical teams D. clean food

W: After class? I’m sorry, Mike. I’m afraid I can’t.
M: But it’s quite important. It’s about our helping Bob.
W: Oh, I have to go home after class to take care of my mother. She’s ill today.

W: What’s the problem?
M: I can’t figure out how to put the page numbers on. I’ve done everything but they aren’t showing up.
W: Let me see. Did you press Shift, F8?
M: Yes, I did.
W: That’s good. Did you press Enter?
M: I did that. But no numbers showed up on the screen.
W: Un-huh. Did you print it?
M: No, I don’t want to print it until I see the numbers.
W: Well, that’s the problem then. The numbers don’t show up on the screen. But they will on the printed copy. Let’s try that.
M: OK. Do it again.
W: Well, it would be better if you let me talk you through it. Once you’ve done it with someone coaching you, it’s easier to do it on your own. Don’t worry. This is my job.
M: Oh, all right. （Text 9）

At the same time, there are a lot of attractive pictures of Jolin’s daily life and her performances.
