“Three Two ” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

二、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
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.
36 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
37 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
38 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.
39 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
40 There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". "veggie" refers to ___.
A. vegetable B. vegan C. vegetarian D. fruitarian

What comes into your mind when you think about robots Do you imagine armies of evil metal monsters planning to take over the world Or, perhaps of mechanical men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad genius Or maybe you think of man- like robots who act, think, and look like human beings. In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction films than with real life. In the real world robots are machines that do jobs which otherwise have to be done by people. Robots either operate by themselves or under the control of a person.
In a car factory, for example, robot machinery can put together and paint car bodies. On the sea bed remote controlled(遥控)underwater machines with mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers. Robot spacecraft can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars.
Many robots have computer brains. Some robots are fitted with cameras, sensors, and microphones which enable them to see, to feel, and to hear. And some robots can even produce electronic speech.
All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like a human being. Present day robots have to be programmed with a good deal of information before they can carry out even simple tasks.
41. Robots in real life________.
A. can behave like human beings B. have the ability to control the world
C. can think by themselves D. can help us with a lot of work
42. According to this article, which of the following is not true about robots in the real world
A. Some robots are as creative as artists. B. Some robots can help manufacture cars.
C. Some robots can see and hear. D. Some robots can explore outer space.
43. Robots can perform many tasks for man because________.
A. they have intelligence B. they are supplied with computer programs
C. they can imitate human beings D. they have the ability to learn new things
44.The robots in science fiction films and those in real life differ mainly in________.
A. mentality B. appearance C. material D. size
C
Female Chinese space pioneers
CHINA plans to recruit(招募)women astronauts thanks to the lobbying of the leading women’s organization. Gu Xiulian, president of the All-China Women’s Federation(ACWF)(全国妇联), said on Saturday that she put forward a proposal that women be trained for space missions after the manned space flight last October. And it was accepted by the central authorities(当局,官方), local media reported. But the plan to recruit female astronauts has yet to be worked out, according to sources close to the astronaut training programme.
Beijing needs mental health care
MORE than 1,100 people committed suicide(自杀)in Beijing last year, and experts have been encouraging the capital to set up a mental health care system as soon as possible, local media reported last week. About 20 per cent of the people of Beijing live in unhealthy conditions, with 3 per cent of these suffering from affective disorder and 5 per cent reporting symptoms(症状)of depression, according to the Beijing Mental Health Service Centre.
No need to fear your licence plate
CAR licence plates in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, will not have the number ‘four’from this month on -a move that has led to heated discussion among officials, scholars(learned men)and residents. The word for ‘four’sounds like ‘death’in Cantonese. The numeral has been cleared away from the computer data banks that generate the six-digit licence numbers for local cars. Some say that, for the first time, a public agency service has considered local customs and bans. Others worry it will encourage superstitious(迷信的)beliefs.
45. We can infer from the news that ________.

B. people in Guangdong province hate number‘four’

A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002. On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants
“I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him,” Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well,” Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”
48. This article is mainly about _________.
A. the danger of heart transplant surgery B. becoming young by getting a new heart
C. the effect of genetics on the heart D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants
49. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common
A. Lifespan. B. Career goals. C. A sense of humor. D. Love for bicycling.
50.What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems
A. Exercise. B. Diet. C. Surgery. D. Medicines.
51. Why did Alfred say, “I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart”
A. His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’s.
B. His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s.
C. His exercise program was better than Anthony’s.
D. His new heart was younger than Anthony’s.

The goals of public health are to prevent human disease, injury, and disability; protect people from environmental health hazards; promote behaviors that lead to good physical and mental health;educate the public about health; and assure availability of high-quality health services.
Public health systems vary in different parts of the world, depending upon the prevalent health problems in the developing world, where sanitation(卫生)problems and limited medical resources persist, infectious disease are the most significant threat to public health. Public health officials devote resources to establish sanitation systems and immunization programs to curb the spread of infectious diseases, and provide routine medical care to rural and isolated populations. In industrialized nations, sanitary food and water supplies and excellent medical resources have reduced rates of infectious disease. Instead, accidents and diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, and strokes are among the leading causes of death. In these areas, public health goals include education programs to teach people how to prevent accidents and lesson their risk for disease, and the maintenance of the excellent disease prevention systems already established.
Public health workers may engage in activities outside the scope of ordinary medical practice.
These include inspecting and licensing restaurants; checking the safety of housing, water, and food supplies. In assuring overall community health, public health officials also act as advocates(倡导者)for laws and regulations—such as during licensing or product labeling requirements.
Most people think of public health workers as physicians and nurses, but a wide variety of other professionals work in public health, including sanitary engineers, microbiologists, laboratory technicians, statisticians, economists, administrators.
52.The underlined word“curb”in the second paragraph means_______.
A. expend B. control C. save D. collect
53. From the text it may imply that the lung cancer today can be highly found in________.
the developing countries B. the developed countries C. the urban area D. the suburbs
54.Which of the following is NOT the goal of the public health from the text
To prevent human disease, injury ,and disability;
To protect people from environmental health hazards.
To educate the public about manners;
To strengthen availability of high-quality health services.
55.Public health workers may engage in the following activities EXCEPT______.
body operation B. inspecting and licensing restaurants
C. checking the safety of food supplies D. doing housework

One possible version
The students of our school had a discussion about whether listening test in the National Matriculation English Test should be kept or canceled. Some students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international cooperation is becoming more and more frequent. But others don’t agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons, there is a big difference in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city.
