A
Most Chinese people don't understand why some westerners don't eat meat. In China, to eat meat is a sign of wealth. If a westerner doesn't take a bite of their Peking duck, there is something wrong.
But many people in Europe and America choose not to eat meat or fish — they are known as vegetarians. In the US alone there are 12 million vegetarians and 19,000 more people stop eating meat every week.
People often become vegetarians in order to lose weight or eat more healthily. A lot of research has shown that vegetarian diets are healthier than the average western diet. Fried chicken may be delicious to eat, but all that extra fat can damage your heart.
There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". It could be that you cannot afford to buy meat. Or maybe you just don't like the taste of it.
A large number of vegetarians choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food. They believe many animals are not allowed to live in comfort and, when they are killed, it is carried out in a very painful way.
While some vegetarians are happy not to eat animals, others take it one step further and refuse to eat any animal product. They are known as vegans and will not eat cheese, yoghurt and eggs, or drink milk. Neither will they wear clothes or shoes made from animal skin, such as leather. They say that if it is wrong to kill an animal for food, it is worse to kill it for clothing.
But there are some groups that go even further. Fruitarians believe it is wrong to kill any living plant or animal. Besides refusing to eat meat, they will only eat fruit and vegetables that have not been killed when harvested. This means they cannot take an apple from a tree: they must wait until the apple falls to the ground. Only then can it be considered dead.
41. A lot of ___ choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food.
A. vegans B. vegetarians C. fruitarians D. researchers
42. According to the text, "vegetarians" refer to people who ___.
A. choose not to eat meat or fish B. choose to eat meat or fish
C. choose not to eat protein D. choose to vegetables
43. According to the text, which one of the following is not mentioned
A. Only in China, there are so many people eat meat.
B. There are many vegetarians in Europe.
C. Vegetarian diets are healthier than the average western diet.
D. There are many reasons for people turning vegetarians.
44. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Meat is harmful to health B. Vegetarian diets are popular
C. Food and health D. Meat and health
45. There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". "veggie" refers to ___.
A. vegetable B. vegan C. vegetarian D. fruitarian

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain seizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.
Contraction of front and side parts, as cells die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction-using the head.
The finding s show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contraction brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
51. The team of doctors wanted to find out ____.
at what point people grow mentally old
how to make people live longer
the size of certain people’s brains
which group of people are the busiest
52. Their research findings are based on ____.
an examination of farmers in northern Japan
examining the brain sizes of different people
tests given on a thousand old people
using computer technology
53. The doctors’ tests show that ____.
our brains contract as we grow older
one part of the brain contract
sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country
54. According to the article, ____ are growing mentally old earlier.
A. engineers B. professors C. office clerks D. researchers
55. The most possible conclusion of the article is that ____ .
most of us should take more exercise
the brain contracts if it is not used
it’s better to live in the towns
the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old

Obviously, the father took S.H.E for a student at school. He didn’t know that S.H.E is a pop group extremely popular among young people these years.
Then what does the “S.H.E” in S.H.E stand for She It is certainly not “she ” for sure! We look at the success and appeal of these 3 stars from the popular variety show Guess Show. For sure, they look good. Each of them has a good voice, and they are all very popular throughout the world.
But what exactly is the appeal of these 3 young girls Nobody can tell. Maybe some of the young students are just following the fashion. In fact, students are too young to tell black from white. And they must be clear that every coin has two sides. While they find interest in S.H.E, they must be clear what bad effect they will have on us.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Shopping on the Internet
With the rapid development of the information technology, more and more people like to shop on the Internet.
(1)On the one hand, shopping on the Internet has the following advantage: first, it is convenient to shop on the Internet, which can save you a lot of time; second, you can purchase many products that are not available at the market and most important of all, it is a kind of fashion.(2) On the other hand, shopping on the Internet also has some disadvantages. (3)For example, the quality of the products cannot be assured and sometimes you will not be able to experience the things you want to buy. (4)What worries people most is that the paying by the Internet is not so safe as people expect.
(5)In my opinion, we should take effective measures to get rid of these disadvantages, because only by smoothing away people’s worries on the Internet be further developed.
The passage naturally develops a definite conclusion of different attitudes towards music between mid-aged people and young people. Nowadays young people begin to show enthusiasm for pop stars like “S.H.E” .As for them, pop stars lead interesting and luxurious lives on an easy basis.
In our life, influenced by pop stars, young people put great passion on different kinds of pop music like rock music, R&B and hip hop. They buy CDs or download songs from the internet., use musical instrument to learn to play pop music themselves and even form a band to give performances in the streets and in schools. They enjoy the fury and excitement pop music brings , trying to convey their ideas with pop music in their own ways.
As far as I am concerned, we cannot deny that pop music is an essential part of our life. It injects new and vivid elements into many aspects, without which life would be boring and dull. However, pursuing pop music blindly should be discouraged. what we should do is to take a more critical attitude towards the pursuit of pop music, take the advantage and discard the bad effects.

Most Chinese people don't understand why some westerners don't eat meat. In China, to eat meat is a sign of wealth. If a westerner doesn't take a bite of their Peking duck, there is something wrong.
But many people in Europe and America choose not to eat meat or fish — they are known as vegetarians. In the US alone there are 12 million vegetarians and 19,000 more people stop eating meat every week.
People often become vegetarians in order to lose weight or eat more healthily. A lot of research has shown that vegetarian diets are healthier than the average western diet. Fried chicken may be delicious to eat, but all that extra fat can damage your heart.
There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". It could be that you cannot afford to buy meat. Or maybe you just don't like the taste of it.
A large number of vegetarians choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food. They believe many animals are not allowed to live in comfort and, when they are killed, it is carried out in a very painful way.
While some vegetarians are happy not to eat animals, others take it one step further and refuse to eat any animal product. They are known as vegans and will not eat cheese, yoghurt and eggs, or drink milk. Neither will they wear clothes or shoes made from animal skin, such as leather. They say that if it is wrong to kill an animal for food, it is worse to kill it for clothing.
But there are some groups that go even further. Fruitarians believe it is wrong to kill any living plant or animal. Besides refusing to eat meat, they will only eat fruit and vegetables that have not been killed when harvested. This means they cannot take an apple from a tree: they must wait until the apple falls to the ground. Only then can it be considered dead.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain seizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.
Contraction of front and side parts, as cells die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction-using the head.
The finding s show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contraction brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
51. The team of doctors wanted to find out ____.
at what point people grow mentally old
how to make people live longer
the size of certain people’s brains
which group of people are the busiest
52. Their research findings are based on ____.
an examination of farmers in northern Japan
examining the brain sizes of different people
tests given on a thousand old people
using computer technology
53. The doctors’ tests show that ____.
our brains contract as we grow older
one part of the brain contract
sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country
54. According to the article, ____ are growing mentally old earlier.
A. engineers B. professors C. office clerks D. researchers
55. The most possible conclusion of the article is that ____ .
most of us should take more exercise
the brain contracts if it is not used
it’s better to live in the towns
the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old

Obviously, the father took S.H.E for a student at school. He didn’t know that S.H.E is a pop group extremely popular among young people these years.
Then what does the “S.H.E” in S.H.E stand for She It is certainly not “she ” for sure! We look at the success and appeal of these 3 stars from the popular variety show Guess Show. For sure, they look good. Each of them has a good voice, and they are all very popular throughout the world.
But what exactly is the appeal of these 3 young girls Nobody can tell. Maybe some of the young students are just following the fashion. In fact, students are too young to tell black from white. And they must be clear that every coin has two sides. While they find interest in S.H.E, they must be clear what bad effect they will have on us.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Shopping on the Internet
With the rapid development of the information technology, more and more people like to shop on the Internet.
(1)On the one hand, shopping on the Internet has the following advantage: first, it is convenient to shop on the Internet, which can save you a lot of time; second, you can purchase many products that are not available at the market and most important of all, it is a kind of fashion.(2) On the other hand, shopping on the Internet also has some disadvantages. (3)For example, the quality of the products cannot be assured and sometimes you will not be able to experience the things you want to buy. (4)What worries people most is that the paying by the Internet is not so safe as people expect.
(5)In my opinion, we should take effective measures to get rid of these disadvantages, because only by smoothing away people’s worries on the Internet be further developed.
The passage naturally develops a definite conclusion of different attitudes towards music between mid-aged people and young people. Nowadays young people begin to show enthusiasm for pop stars like “S.H.E” .As for them, pop stars lead interesting and luxurious lives on an easy basis.
In our life, influenced by pop stars, young people put great passion on different kinds of pop music like rock music, R&B and hip hop. They buy CDs or download songs from the internet., use musical instrument to learn to play pop music themselves and even form a band to give performances in the streets and in schools. They enjoy the fury and excitement pop music brings , trying to convey their ideas with pop music in their own ways.
As far as I am concerned, we cannot deny that pop music is an essential part of our life. It injects new and vivid elements into many aspects, without which life would be boring and dull. However, pursuing pop music blindly should be discouraged. what we should do is to take a more critical attitude towards the pursuit of pop music, take the advantage and discard the bad effects.
