With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified(多样化) than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics(数据统计). I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame（责怪）the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
( )60. What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A. Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B. Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C. Living an active life and giving up bad eating habits.
D. Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
( )61. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
( )62. The author writes the passage to ______________
A. show people a social problem B. provide facts for government
C. advise solutions to a problem D. compare opinions with people
C
When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes”, I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”
“Oh!” he said, “There is a phone downstairs.”
When at last we met, Daisy explained the misunderstanding to me.
“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!”
( )63. Where was the writer from?
A. He was from America.?B. He was from England. C. He was from China.??D. He was from France.
( )64. The writer thought in America.
A. he would not understand the Americans B. the Americans might not understand him
C. he wouldn’t have any language difficulties D. he would have difficulties at the airport
( )65. From the passage, we can see that “give somebody a ring”.
A. means “be going to get married with somebody” B. means the same in America as in England
C. means “call somebody” to the old man D. has two different meanings in America and in England
( )66. In the last paragraph the word “they” refers to
A. the Americans B. the British ?C. the old man and the boy D. the French?
D
Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You no longer need to walk round hundreds of shops looking for the items you need. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States, 50 percent of families have computers at home and almost one third are linked to the Internet. Americans spent over US $ 2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998. This figure is expected to reach US $ 11 billion by the year 2004.
People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common things that people buy through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving hotels or renting cars are also available (可得到的) on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in online games or e-mail “chats”.
To find something on the Internet, people often use powerful computer tools called “search engines”. You can search for a type of product, such as sports shoes, or a brand name, such as Nike. The search engine will give you a list of websites where you can find these products. These websites may be specialist shops such as a Nike shop, or they may be general stores, called malls, which sell a variety of goods.
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience. You can shop when you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day, and you do not have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet. Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality(质量). Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make online payment safe.
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things-from tonight's dinner to a new car.
( )67. “Physical products” are things ________.
A. that can be seen or felt B．useful for health care
C．that help you keep fit D．connected with sports
( )68．The best point about Internet shopping is ________.
A．the speed the goods are delivered B．the reasonable price
C．the quality of the goods D．the convenience it brings to you
( )69．Choose the most proper heading for Paragraph 5.
A．People enjoy other ways of shopping B．Internet companies find new ways for payment
C．Problems with Internet shopping. D．Disadvantages of Internet shopping are not serious.
( )70．“Search engines” seems to be kind of ________.
A．shopping lists B．computer software C．Internet shopping sites D．Internet business

One possible version:
With the rapid development of science and technology, more remarkable
achievements have been made in our country, greatly changing people’s life, which has brought us both positive and negative effects.
On the one hand, (there is no denying that) science and technology has made our lives much easier and more comfortable. First, household appliances save people from heavy housework. Besides, modern inventions, such as the mobile phone and the Internet, make it easy for people to keep in touch and learn more about the outside world. In addition, with modern vehicles, people can travel long distances and even travel to space.
However, on the other hand, (we can never turn a blind eye to/ignore the fact that) it may also threaten the existence of humans. Firstly, more energy has been consumed and more waste gases have been let off, damaging the environment. Secondly, people nowadays reply too much on modern products, making them lazy and unhappy. Thirdly, some people worry that some technologies against nature, if not used properly, may bring us great disasters.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s we humans that can control and use science and technology wisely. Not only should we bring its benefits into full play, but we should also reduce its negative effects to a minimum. (Only in this way can science and technology serve us better. )
