二、阅读理解。
Jason's mother sat him down at the dinner table one Saturday afternoon to a feast（款待）he could not believe. In front of him were his three favorite desserts.
As Jason wondered what he had done to deserve them, his mother spoke, "Son, you see your favorite desserts, right?" Jason nodded.
His mother continued. "Now, I have some good news and some bad news for you. And then you get to make a decision. The good news is that you get to choose one of these three desserts to eat.”
So, that was it? He could only eat one?
"The bad news is that I have put poison（毒药）in one of the three desserts, "Jason's mother said. "The poison is so poisonous that it will kill you in a matter of minutes. It will be painful and there is no antidote（解药）. If you don't die immediately, you will know that you have chosen well.”
Jason's mouth dropped open. "You're joking, right?"
"No, sir," his mother replied. "I'm serious. Now, which dessert do you choose? You have ten seconds.”
"This is crazy," shouted Jason. “I don’t need ten seconds! Only a fool would eat any of the desserts now that you've said eating one may kill him.”
Jason's mother nodded in agreement. "That's right, "she said."Only a fool would take a one in three chance of eating something that could kill him, even if it tasted really great.” Then his mother lifted a package of cigarettes and put them on the table. “Tell me then," she continued, “why would a teenager ever smoke one of these terrible things when the chance of dying from smoking-related illness is one in three?"
Jason's face turned red. This has become one of the most important lessons for him. He would never choose a poisonous cake as well as a cigarette.

3. B 【解析】 由最后一段可看出，Jason从妈妈那里学到了重要的一课，从此不会再吸烟了。
4. A 【解析】作者讲述了一位母亲教育儿子戒烟的故事，也希望其他的青少年不要吸烟。故选A项。
三、完形填空。
1. A【解析】 face “面对”，符合句意。这篇短文讲述了一个打电话上瘾的人的故事。find发现；accept接受；notice注意到。
2. B 【解析】 此处指一直打电话。紧接在空后的介词短语“从醒来到入睡”便是对上文的解释。
3. C【解析】 由于打电话成瘾，自己想接电话（等待），想打电话（心中念着）：再接或
打一个电话吧。
4. C 【解析】 接或打电话时快速聊一会儿似乎很好。
5. B 【解析】 “情形”越来越严重，故选situation。condition条件；situation局面；result结果；effect效果。
6. A 【解析】 承接上句，情形越来越严重，由爱接或打电话到经常性地使用，直至病态地成瘾（下文）。
7. D 【解析】 上文说从早上醒来到晚上入睡都想接/打电话，那时是在家里，而此处应该是在工作的地方。下文也有during the day（在白天，他应该在上班），故填work。
8. A 【解析】 在上班时，很想打电话，又想尽量不影响工作，只好打个短时间的电话，快打快结束，故用a quick。
9. D 【解析】 如果（因工作要求）打不成电话，就盼着别人来电话。别人不打来便会越来越着急或是烦躁不安（anxious），就会给别人打电话，接着是给另一个人打。

14. B 【解析】 因为打电话成了瘾，所以当不能打电话时，就会发疯。下文中的“And one day I hit my boss （with the phone）.”更进一步印证了如果他不能打电话就会发疯的状态。
15. D 【解析】 对于像作者这样打电话成瘾的人，不让他用电话他当然发火乃至发疯，对老板也一样（用电话打他）。stop sb.（from） doing sth.阻止某人做某事。
16. A 【解析】 词义辨析。根据上下文可知是毁坏一个电话亭。
17. C 【解析】 在电话亭打电话要用钱，把最后一枚硬币用完了，电话便打不下去了。由此可以推出，因打不成电话连老板都敢打的人，当然也敢因打不成电话而“打”电话亭了。警察会认为他有心理疾病（他的确有），而“命令”他去看心理医生，这才有最后一段试着戒除电话瘾的陈述。
18. B 【解析】 不是收到（received）电话、错过（missed）电话或安（fixed）电话，而是家里根本就没电话，连电视都尽量不看，以免看见电视中的人打电话而犯瘾。
19. D 【解析】 家里没电话3周了，好多天没用电话亭了（试着戒电话瘾）。
20. A 【解析】 电视上“总是”有人打电话（也确实不少），自己看了便想打电话，这还怎么戒电话瘾呢，只好尽量不看了。

11.A【解析】“对……有影响”常用have...effect/influence on sb.，B项influence不应用复数形式。所以。选项A正确答案。
12. D【解析】句意：研究表明人们如果总是长时间地坐在电脑屏幕前面就更有可能出现背部问题。根据语境，这里表示“更有可能”，所以排除sure，其他几个形容词只有likely能够用人作主语。所以，选项D是正确答案。
13. B【解析】句意：他言行不一致，你不能相信他。根据句意可知，此处表示否定含义，可排除C、D两项。disagree with意为“不同意；和……不一致”。disagree to后接表“计划，建议，安排”的词。所以，选项B是正确答案。
14. C【解析】 句意：无论你犯什么样的错误，诚实地看待它们，并且真正地努力去改正它们。由句意可知，选项C是正确答案。
15. B【解析】instead of否定它后面的宾语。句意：我们是在花园里而不是在屋里举行的晚会。D项other than的意思是“除……以外”。所以，选项B是正确答案。

一、阅读理解。
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
“After taking our pills，you will lose weight without any pain！”When you turn on the television，a wave of advertisements for diet pills catch your eyes. Many girls are attracted by this easy way to lose weight.
Wake up！Think about what these pills actually contain.
These days, more and more youngsters are losing weight without thinking. Some are fascinated by the claims（声称）made by diet pill makers. Others even lose weight by not eating. I really don’t agree with this. Using such methods not only drains（耗尽）your energy but also brings your healthy problems.
Diet pills have side effects. These include stunting（阻碍）your growth. Many youngsters complain that they are heavier than before after stopping the pills. Worries about your weight may develop into anorexia（厌食症）or bulimia（易饿症）.
As most diet pills fail, there is every chance you will not achieve what you want. Being obsessed about your weight means you will admire outer appearances but neglect（忽视）inner beauty, which is far more important.
Of course, looking slim means praise from others. But is it worth the pain?
There are healthy ways to lose weight. My neighbor was lacking in confidence because she was fat. She was determined to lose weight through exercise. Every morning I saw her skipping rope, and she did yoga（瑜伽）every week. Her hard work finally paid off, and she became a pretty and grateful girl！She said she had no secret but ate less chocolate and sweets and drank more water.
So, girls, throw those harmful pills away and do more exercise. The only way you will be happy is that you feel good about yourself from the inside!
1. Paragraph 1 mainly shows that ________.
A. many girls were cheated by the advertisements of losing weight
B. many different companies try to sell their products by advertising
C. people can buy their favorite products by advertising
D. the companies carry advertisements in the newspapers or the magazines and also on TV
2. Recently more and more youngsters, especially girls, eat the diet pills in order to________.
A. grow healthily B. decrease energy
C. look slim D. lower side effects
3. The underlined phrase “Being obsessed about” in Para. 5 means“________”.
A. Being very worried about B. Losing
C. Increasing D. Giving no or not enough attention to
4. The best way to lose weight is to ________ according to the passage.

Most fitness advice is given to a general audience. But if you’re old，the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has some suggestions for you to get started and keep you at the top of your game：
Get a checkup. Talk with your doctor about getting permission to begin a fitness program and making any correction to suit your situation.
Know your choices. Before starting, choose a program you’ll enjoy, so you’ll do it regularly. Some people, for example, like to go to a gym for carefully organized workouts（锻炼）,while others might prefer a more informal neighborhood walking club.
Check out the facility and the staff. Is the place friendly? Can you change clothes comfortably? Are facilities easily used?
Choose the style you want to take part in. Choose what’s best for you—a class or going alone? Morning or night hours？Indoor or outside exercise?
Start slowly. Most people are too excited and sometimes overdo it. Record a baseline(起点) of your regular activities and determine a reasonable(很合理的) schedule.
Make a date. Find a partner to exercise with you and he or she can encourage you.
Set specific short-and-long-term goals. Plan for activity in your day and pay enough attention to the plan.
Make a list. Try to list the advantages you have had (such as less stress，stronger bones or greater strength and a better sleep)，rather than just the result (such as weight)．
Remind yourself what your goals are. If it hurts，don’t do it. Learn to work around pain，not through it. And once you’ve reached your goal，treat yourself for the good job you’ve done，so it will encourage you to continue.
5. The ICAA makes the fitness suggestions for ________.
A. small kids B. old people
C. school students D. young ladies
6. What advice does the ICAA give at first?

8. The passage is most probably taken from a ________.
A. textbook B. science novel
C. magazine D. advertisement

When Kim Murton first started her driving lessons she was so nervous that she couldn’t turn the key in the ignition (点火开关)．She even put off learning for years. But today she passed her test on the first try.
“I was always quite afraid of driving and it took me years to gather the courage to have a lesson. I was shaking and nervous but I just knew I had to get through it.” Miss Murton finally began lessons nine months ago. She attributed (把……归因于)her success to her instructor (教练), Stephen Lelievre.“Stephen really put me at ease”，she said.“I needed to believe in myself. I am sure he was as shocked as anyone when he heard about my results because I really was not the most natural driver. I am very grateful to Stephen.”
Yesterday Mr. Lelievre said in his 33 years as a driving instructor，he has never had a pupil pass with no mistakes.“I am really proud of Kim because she was so nervous at first.” he said.“She has come such a long way. She worked very hard.” He added.“I talked to other driving instructors when this happened and they all said they had hardly ever heard of this happening before. I know people have come close but to make no errors at all is amazing.”
Miss Murton’s mother Loretta said she was proud of her daughter who passed her test last week.“She is an excellent driver.” she said.“Her twin sister Hollie is very good too. She passed with just two mistakes.”
In the UK,40 percent of people fail the driving test at least once. But learners can make up to 15 minor mistakes in the 40-minute test. Most of those who pass make about nine mistakes. Trevor Wedge, Britain’s Chief Driving Examiner, sent a personal message, saying, “We congratulate Kim Murton on her result and wish her all the best for her driving career.”
9. When Kim Murton first started her driving lessons，she was in great need of ________.
A. communication B. care C. confidence D. money
10. From the passage we can know ________.
A. Mr.Lelievre thought that it was impossible to pass the driving test with no mistakes
B. it took Kim Murton at least nine months to get ready for the driving test

D. Kim Murton was grateful to Trevor Wedge，Britain’s Chief Driving Examiner

Some kids start to drink alcohol (酒精) at a young age. They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品)．It is easy for kids to get liquor (酒精饮料) by using fake identification (伪造证件)．
Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally like to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moodily (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.
Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any change.
Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist (抵抗) doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.
Give the children good ideas on how to say “no” to drinking，even when they are at a party. Try not to overreact or panic (惊慌) if the child tries alcohol. How you deal with it can affect their attitudes. It may be helpful to talk to other parents about setting up curfews (宵禁令) and rules about parties or other events.
13. Which of the following is NOT the reason why some kids have an early start of drinking?
A. They want to show their maturity (成熟) by drinking alcohol.

B. the children can buy liquor without using fake identification
C. there isn’t any ban on buying liquor for children

第二节 One possible version:
Good morning, everyone! Here, I want to say something about smoking. As we know, smoking is bad for health. It does harm not only to smokers but also to people around them. Smoking causes many diseases. What’s worse, small as cigarettes are, they can lead to big fires. As far as I’m concerned, smoking is a waste of money, because people have to spend money treating illnesses caused by smoking as well as buying cigarettes. So in order to keep healthy, please keep away from the bad habit of smoking. That’s all.
Thank you!
