A
It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently “Take this to the butcher (a person whose job is selling meat). And he’s going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (people who buy something from a shop).
But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

58. The butcher did not give any meat to the dog _____.
A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. Smith
B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear

The key to your health
A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group had food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetables group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating-habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help your body remain healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.
65. Which of the following diets do you think is the best one?
A. Corn, fish, cream and pork
B. Eggs, tomatoes and chicken.
C. Milk, bread, cabbages and beef.
D. Rice, bean curd（豆腐）, apples, fish and chicken.
66. Which of the following is a good eating habit?
A. Going to school without any breakfast.
B. Finishing your lunch in a very short time.
C. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time.
D. Having at least one food from all four groups in each group.
67. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that _______.
A. right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthy
B. taking exercise can keep your body strong.
C. every person needs food to grow well.
D. enough energy helps people think more quickly
68. The underlined word “dairy” in the second paragraph means ______.
A. the shop that sells milk and butter
B. the food made out of milk
C. a farm where cows are kept
D. a place where milk products are made
D
Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear (内裤)? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in Italian middle schools.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans (低腰牛仔裤) that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip, when he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide (滑) to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the head teacher’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual (随意的).
A parents’ group praised the move in favour of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
“We do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained. “But extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf (围巾).
Another 14-year-old said she should probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans”, said Sarah Lattanzi. “In winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
69. What led to the argument in Italian middle schools?
A. Students’ craze for fashions. B. Clothes that are too exposing.
C. Students ignoring dress codes (着装规则). D. Students’ underwear.
70. Which of the following supports the headmaster’s request?
A. Dressing like this can make students’ stomachs ache.
B. Fashion should not be followed in school.
C. Students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear.
D. Students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes.
71. The argument against the headmaster’s request is that ______.
A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes
B. teachers should request their students to stop wearing such trousers
C. dress in Italian schools is too casual
D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngster’s health
E
Be aware of (小心) those who use the truth to deceive you. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates (候选人) in political campaigns (竞选活动) often use this skill. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs.” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception（诡计）happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
72. What we can infer from the passage is that _________.
A. when people tell the truth, they are in fact lying
B. you should neither trust gamblers (赌博者), nor political candidates
C. there’s no difference between truths and lies for they all cheat people
D. truths can be used in dishonest ways
73. What does the underlined word “deceive” mean in the first paragraph?
A. make you trust them.
B. refuse to pay attention to warnings.
C. fool.
D. praise.
74. The writer clearly wants people to _________.
A. think carefully about what they read and hear
B. pay attention to as many candidates’ speeches as possible during political campaigns
C. trust only one’s close friends
D. vote for candidates who can solve employment problems
75. Another possible title for this passage can be _________.
A. Advertisers are always lying.
B. Everyone lies
C. Lying with the truth
D. Political campaigns

One possible version:
I will travel with my parents in Hainan province this winter vacation. We’ll take the following things with us, which are my ID card, a camera, a compass, a CD player and some clothes. I think the ID card is a basic and necessary document, and it is often used by tourists. The camera is used to take pictures or record what we have done during the trip, and it can bring us a lot of fun. We’d better take the compass with us when traveling in the forests, in case we may get lost. And then the CD player, I think, is also very important for me to kill the time when on the bus, on the train or the plane. What’s more, I have to bring one or two coats when traveling to a different place. In a word, among all above, I think the ID card is the most important.

??always gave the wrong answers.
W: Oh, it’s you! You were the captain of the school football team.
M: But this is really a surprise. It must be five years since we last met in London, isn’t it? And
??now to run into each other in Paris! Do you come here often?
W: It’s my first visit. I’m on my honeymoon. This is my husband, Tom.
M: So you are married. It’s very nice to meet you, Tom! Is this your first trip to Paris, too?
W: Tom doesn’t speak English. He comes from a small Italian village.

W: Hi!
M: Hi! What’s up?
W: Nothing much. I’m just watching a debate on TV. It’s about no smoking in public places.
M: Oh, yeah. So, what do you think about it?
W: Well, I don’t think people should be allowed to smoke in public places. So I support the
??suggestion.
M: Really? I’m a smoker; so I should have the right to smoke whenever I want.
W: But don’t you think that non-smokers have rights, too?
M: Sure. You don’t have to smoke if you don’t want to. What’s the problem?
W: Well, I think that I should have the right not to breathe smoke.
M: So why cannot you just go outside if it bothers you?
W: I want to ask you the same question. Why cannot smokers just go outside if they want to
??smoke?
M: Well, smoking is part of my lifestyle. I can think better if I have a cigarette.
W: I can breathe better if I don’t have to breathe smoke. Smoking is bad for your health. Doctors
??say that Just breathing in other people’s smoke can also cause cancer.
M: Well, I’m a smoker, and my health is good.
W: Yes. But will it be good in fifteen years?
M: I hope so.
W: I hope so, too. I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree about this subject. Do you want to
??watch the debate with me?
M: Sure.

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently “Take this to the butcher (a person whose job is selling meat). And he’s going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (people who buy something from a shop).
But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper.

The key to your health
A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group had food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetables group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating-habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help your body remain healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.
65. Which of the following diets do you think is the best one?
A. Corn, fish, cream and pork
B. Eggs, tomatoes and chicken.
C. Milk, bread, cabbages and beef.
D. Rice, bean curd（豆腐）, apples, fish and chicken.
66. Which of the following is a good eating habit?
A. Going to school without any breakfast.
B. Finishing your lunch in a very short time.
C. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time.
D. Having at least one food from all four groups in each group.
67. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that _______.
A. right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthy
B. taking exercise can keep your body strong.
C. every person needs food to grow well.
D. enough energy helps people think more quickly
68. The underlined word “dairy” in the second paragraph means ______.
A. the shop that sells milk and butter

D. a place where milk products are made
D
Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear (内裤)? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in Italian middle schools.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans (低腰牛仔裤) that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip, when he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide (滑) to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the head teacher’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual (随意的).
A parents’ group praised the move in favour of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
“We do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained. “But extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf (围巾).
Another 14-year-old said she should probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans”, said Sarah Lattanzi. “In winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
69. What led to the argument in Italian middle schools?
A. Students’ craze for fashions. B. Clothes that are too exposing.
C. Students ignoring dress codes (着装规则). D. Students’ underwear.
70. Which of the following supports the headmaster’s request?
A. Dressing like this can make students’ stomachs ache.
B. Fashion should not be followed in school.
C. Students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear.
D. Students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes.
71. The argument against the headmaster’s request is that ______.
A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes
B. teachers should request their students to stop wearing such trousers
C. dress in Italian schools is too casual
D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngster’s health
E
Be aware of (小心) those who use the truth to deceive you. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates (候选人) in political campaigns (竞选活动) often use this skill. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs.” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception（诡计）happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
72. What we can infer from the passage is that _________.
A. when people tell the truth, they are in fact lying
B. you should neither trust gamblers (赌博者), nor political candidates
C. there’s no difference between truths and lies for they all cheat people
D. truths can be used in dishonest ways
73. What does the underlined word “deceive” mean in the first paragraph?
A. make you trust them.
B. refuse to pay attention to warnings.
C. fool.
D. praise.
74. The writer clearly wants people to _________.
A. think carefully about what they read and hear
B. pay attention to as many candidates’ speeches as possible during political campaigns
C. trust only one’s close friends
D. vote for candidates who can solve employment problems
75. Another possible title for this passage can be _________.
A. Advertisers are always lying.
B. Everyone lies
C. Lying with the truth
D. Political campaigns

One possible version:
I will travel with my parents in Hainan province this winter vacation. We’ll take the following things with us, which are my ID card, a camera, a compass, a CD player and some clothes. I think the ID card is a basic and necessary document, and it is often used by tourists. The camera is used to take pictures or record what we have done during the trip, and it can bring us a lot of fun. We’d better take the compass with us when traveling in the forests, in case we may get lost. And then the CD player, I think, is also very important for me to kill the time when on the bus, on the train or the plane. What’s more, I have to bring one or two coats when traveling to a different place. In a word, among all above, I think the ID card is the most important.

M: And how much Italian do you speak? As far as I remember, you weren’t that good at
??languages at school.

W: Hi!
M: Hi! What’s up?
W: Nothing much. I’m just watching a debate on TV. It’s about no smoking in public places.
M: Oh, yeah. So, what do you think about it?
W: Well, I don’t think people should be allowed to smoke in public places. So I support the
??suggestion.
M: Really? I’m a smoker; so I should have the right to smoke whenever I want.
W: But don’t you think that non-smokers have rights, too?
M: Sure. You don’t have to smoke if you don’t want to. What’s the problem?
W: Well, I think that I should have the right not to breathe smoke.
M: So why cannot you just go outside if it bothers you?
W: I want to ask you the same question. Why cannot smokers just go outside if they want to
??smoke?
M: Well, smoking is part of my lifestyle. I can think better if I have a cigarette.
W: I can breathe better if I don’t have to breathe smoke. Smoking is bad for your health. Doctors
??say that Just breathing in other people’s smoke can also cause cancer.
M: Well, I’m a smoker, and my health is good.
W: Yes. But will it be good in fifteen years?
M: I hope so.
W: I hope so, too. I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree about this subject. Do you want to
??watch the debate with me?
M: Sure.
