第二部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分30分)

第一节 (共10小题; 每小题2分, 满分20分)

A.

I studied computers in college，but I have learned more in the years after graduation.No place can compare with the real world when it comes to gaining experience.

In high school I spent much time deciding what career to choose.I knew I wanted to work with computers but I wasn't quite sure.I had an experience of teaching adults when I was in high school and that experience let me make up my mind to study computers.Even though I really liked teaching I didn't want to be a teacher.Giving knowledge to those who wanted to study was interesting，but at the end of the day I felt tired rather than excited.I wanted to pursue（追求）my own interest in computers.

Though I decided to study computers，what major to choose was a difficult problem.There are so many choices，such as network security，software development，programming and so on.I spent a lot of time thinking about my major choice because I didn't want to end up in a job I didn't like at all.A key figure in helping me decide what my major should be was one of my teachers.I started taking his classes and we stayed close throughout my school years.He helped me a lot.

Web development was what I finally settled on.One of the reasons I chose it was that it was a wide open major through which I could realize my desires.I went straight to work after graduating from college.Working for customers wholeheartedly rather than grades was a big transition（转变）！I have greatly enjoyed constantly updating my knowledge and skills.

After thirty years of working with computers，I have my favorite job，and I can provide support for the company I work in.I was proud of myself for choosing the right major.

B.

Having visited museums and churches, visitors will be delighted to try these things which can be done and seen in London. They are well worth visiting.

London Eye

Make a reservation for London Eye before you leave the United States. The Eye is a huge wheel that takes you up into the sky. It was built to celebrate the millennium(千禧年), and has drawn millions of tourists ever since. Fun for the entire family, the Eye is a great way to see all the spectacular sites, including the River Thames, Parliament, Leicester Square, and Big Ben.

Speaker’s Corner

Speaker’s corner never fails to draw a crowd. Near Marble Arch in Hyde Park, a group gathers every Sunday to speak their mind. You’ll hear everything from political activities to religious zealous, and all who live between these extremes. Go shopping on Oxford Street afterwards, and walk over to Trafalgar Square to see where people have toured for ages.

Kew Gardens

If you garden, or appreciate beautiful surroundings, then you will be in heaven wandering the paths of the Royal Botanic Kew Garden, simply known as Kew Gardens. Featuring the world’s largest collection of living plants, the collections in the greenhouse and beautiful displays of foliage（树叶）throughout the garden will take your breath away. Walk around on your own, or take a guide and learn about the garden’s secrets.

Camden Town

Camden Town is well known for its pop culture ways and extensive street markets. Home to many punk performers and artists, Camden Town also hosts amazing markets on the weekends, selling goods of all types including fashion, food, books and even some rather bizarre items.

Portobello Market

Nestled in the middle of Notting Hill, Portobello Market is one of London’s most popular spots. The market actually has several distinct sections and they are dedicated to antiques, fruits and vegetables, fashion, and secondhand “finds”. Top off a visit to Portobello with a pub lunch, a couple of pints and some lively conversation with the locals.

24.Who is the text intended for?

1. American travelers B. French visitors C. The natives D. Foreign tourists

25.One remarkable feature of Kew Garden is that___.

Physical fitness refers to good health，and is the result of regular exercise，proper diet and nutrition，and proper rest for physical recovery. A person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and he or she will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and will not need help. How much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. A physically fit person usually has a normal weight for height. The relation between height and weight is called the Body_Mass_Index. A taller person can be heavier and still be fit. If a person is too heavy or too thin for the height it may affect the health.

Mental health refers to a person's emotional and psychological well­being. “A state of emotional and psychological well­being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional (feeling) abilities，function in society，and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life.”

One way to think about mental health is by looking at how well a person functions. Feeling capable and efficient，being able to handle normal levels of stress，having good friends and family，and leading an independent life，and being able to “bounce back，” or recovering from hardships，are all signs of mental health.

Public Health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community，and does not help in long life or promote your health. This is fixed by organized efforts and choices of society，public and private clubs，communities and individuals.It is about the health of many people，or everybody，rather than one person. Public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance (监督) of cases. To prevent being sick，it is good to do healthy behaviors，such as hand washing，vaccination programs and so on. When infectious diseases break out，washing hands may be especially important.

27．What is the best title of the passage?

A．Physical，Mental and Public HealthB．Something about Health

C．Importance of HealthD．Three healthy Lives

28.What does “Body Mass Index” in Paragraph 1 consist of?

A．Exercise，proper diet and nutritionB．Abilities，functions and demands

C．Height，weight and their relation.D．Recovery，independence and relation

29．What are the signs of mental health?

A．Living an independent life and suffer hardships.

B．Reducing normal levels of stress and handle “bounce back”.

C．Increasing emotional demands and psychological well­being.

D．Living an independent life and own good friends and family.

30．Once Bird Flu takes place，that refers to__________.

A．the problem of physical healthB．the problem of public health

C．the problem of mental healthD．the importance of washing hands

Today，kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.

●32

Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.

●Watch the clock

33 I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus，just five minutes can make a significant difference.

●Focus

He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise­free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.

●34

Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get，the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.

●Talk through your problems

Be able to share his concerns with you. 35If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help，not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.

A．Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.

B．Help your child work better to realize his aim.

C．Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.

D．Get enough sleep.

E．Help your child do better in school.

F．Encourage your child to be positive.

G．Create a personal schedule

1. 写作

Good morning! Boys and girls,

As we know, World Reading Day which falls on April 23rd is drawing near.

The purpose of the global festival is to promote reading and publishing. Nowadays, many students prefer to spend much time in watching TV and they are crazy about the Internet, So, most of them don’t have enough time to read books. What is worse, they don’t like reading. However, reading is necessary. I firmly think that by reading, we not only enrich our life, and broaden our horizons but also learn to perfect our personality. Now that reading is good for us, let’s develop a good habit of reading. I strongly suggest that every one of us should read at least one or two good looks every term.
