The British are the most voracious (求知欲强烈的) newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at 21 ; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the 22 as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they read an evening 23 .
There are many daily newspapers in 24 . All the nine national daily newspapers are 25 in London, and all appear every 26 except on Sundays. Most sell more than a million 27 a day and cost about three pence each. 28 the daily newspapers, there are a number of Sunday newspapers, many of which are 29 with the “dailies”. The Sunday papers are larger than the daily papers and are usually read for their 30 and other special long articles rather than their news reports.
Of all the “morning papers”, the most 31 is The Times, which is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, 32 they are not organs (机构) of the political parties, 33 the Communist Morning Star. It is free for a newspaper to say exactly what it 34 about anybody or anything, though, of course, 35 newspapers are responsible for what they publish.
However, it is true of some British papers, especially the Sunday papers, that in order to 36 more readers they have become vulgar (庸俗的). The main headlines have nothing to do with 37 news at all. And there are a few, especially The Times, the Guardian and the Observer, which are of the greatest importance in both guiding and expressing the free 38 of very important people.
Nearly all papers pay special attention to the 39 of sports and games. The evening newspapers are often bought because the reader wants to know the winner of a race, or to get a good trip for a 40 that is still to be run.
21. A. school B. breakfast C. lunch D. supper
22. A. bed B. bus C. ground D. floor
23. A. magazine B. article C. book D. paper
24. A. Europe B. world C. Britain D. cities
25. A. bought B. sold C. placed D. published
26. A. morning B. afternoon C. evening D. night
27. A. kinds B. pieces C. copies D. papers
28. A. Except B. Besides C. With D. According to
29. A. mixed B. sold C. connected D. sent
30. A. news B. reports C. stories D. advertisements
31. A. interesting B. famous C. expensive D. careful
32. A. but B. unless C. if D. though
33. A. except for B. besides C. instead of D. in spite of
34. A. does B. prints C. likes D. hears
35. A. a few B. few C. no D. all
36. A. accept B. collect C. attract D. advise
37. A. any B. old C. interesting D. serious
38. A. activities B. lives C. decision D. opinion
39. A. reporting B. results C. dates D. places
40. A. ticket B. race C. film D. concert

A
One of the greatest struggles for parents is trying to help their children eat healthy foods. Parents play a big role in shaping children’s eating habits. For example, when parents eat a variety of foods that are low in fat and sugar and high in fiber, children learn to like these foods as well. Don’t give up if your child does not like a new food right away. It may take a little while. With many parents working outside the home, child-care providers also help shape children’s eating and snacking habits. There are some ways for parents to help their children eat better.
Offer your child a wide variety of foods, such as grains, vegetables and fruits, low-fat dairy products and lean meat（瘦肉）or beans.
Let your child decide whether and how much to eat. Keep serving new foods even if your child does not eat them at first.
Cook with less fat!! Bake, roast or poach（煮）foods instead of frying.
Limit the amount of added sugar in your child’s diet. Choose cereals（谷物）with low or no added sugar. Serve water or low-fat milk more often than sugar-sweetened sodas and fruit-flavored drinks.
Choose and prepare foods with less salt. Have fruits and vegetables on hand for snacks instead of salty snack foods.
Involve your child in planning and preparing meals. Children may be more willing to eat the dishes they help prepare.
Have family meals together and serve everyone the same thing.
Make sure your child eats breakfast. Breakfast provides children with the energy they need to listen and learn in school.
41. The passage is written mainly for ______.
A. children B. child-care providers C. teachers D. parents
42. According to the passage, if children don’t like a new food right away, parents should
_____.
A .criticize the children B. stop asking the children to eat it at once
C. ask experts for advice D. use as much time as needed without hurrying
43. The following ways are useful for children’s healthy eating EXCEPT _____.
A. putting more salt into food B. making sure children have breakfast
C. limiting the amount of added sugar in children’s diet
D. encouraging children to prepare meals
B
Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun----see a great movie perhaps----and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t eliminate（排除）any of the old ways.
44. The purpose of this passage is to ______.
A. explain how to use the Internet
B. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits（价值）and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
45. The use of E-mail has it possible for the writer to __________.
A. spend less time working B. have more free time with his child
C. work at home on weekends D. work at a speed comfortable to him
46. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ____.
A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently
B. keep one’s communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later
47. The best title for this passage is ___________.
A. Computer: New Technological Advances
B. Internet New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship
C. Computers Have Made Life Easier
D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication
C
A young man who refused to give his name dived into a river yesterday morning to save a 12-year-old boy.
The boy, who ran away after being saved, had been swimming in the river and had caught his feet between two posts under the bridge. He shouted for help.
At that time a young man was riding across the bridge on his bicycle. He then quickly got off and dived fully clothed into the river. He then freed the boy’s feet and helped him to the riverbank where a small crowd had gathered. The boy thanked the man then ran off down a road. He was last seen climbing over a gate before disappearing over the top of a hill.
The young man, who was about 20 years old, said, “I don’t blame the boy for not asking me my name. Why should he? If he wants to swim in the river, that’s his business. And if I want to help him, that’s mine. You needn’t have my name, either!”

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing
that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ? Paper. No
notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens,
which always seem to run out of ink at the critical (关键的) moment.
A
"paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to
achieve.
Students don't do any
handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The
teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every
student's personal computer.
Having computers
also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any
subject they're studying ? from maths to social science.
High school
teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to
learn about the war in Afganistan (阿富汗)
over one year ago.
"We could
touch every side of the country through different sites ? from the forest to
refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a
book that's three or four years old is impossible."
And exams can go
online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own
computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see
and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.
A paperless
classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school
teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900
pieces of paper each week to each student.
"Think about the
money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.
But, with all this technology, there's always the risk (危险) that the machines will break down.
So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still
widely available (可用的) for these hi-tech students.
52. What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the critical
moment”, mean?
A. Pens may not
write well at the critical moment.
B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not
find them at the critical moment.
C. Pens may have little or no ink at the
critical moment.
D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't.
53. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?
A. Pens. B.
Computers. C.
Information. D.
Texts.
54. The high
school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that
_______.
A. the Web could take them
everywhere B.
the Web taught them a lot
C. the Web is a good tool for
information
D. the Web, better than the textbooks,
can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information
55. The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.
A. students B.
teachers C.
trees D.
computers
56. What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down”, mean?
A. Break
into pieces. B. Stop
working. C.
Fall down. D. Lose control.

London has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and
visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben (大笨钟), the Tower of London and the River
Thames (泰晤士河).
You can see some
of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour
buses. It has an open roof and let you off at the places you want to visit.
Or you can take
a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the
River Thames. From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.
The River Thames
is London's main waterway. It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and
geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a
trip along the river. Much of the riverbank can now be walked along,
particularly the south bank.
The clock tower
of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. It rises
up nearly 100m to a golden point above the clock and a 13-ton bell. The sound
of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio
programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.
No visit to
London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part
of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist
spot. It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.
Directly south
is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.
Among all the
palaces in London, Buckingham Palace (白金汉宫) is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal
(皇家的) family
since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visit some of the rooms in
August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers
outside hanging the guard?
About one hour
by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of
the Queen's homes — Windsor Castle (温莎城
堡). This wonderful building is
Europe's biggest castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were
badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs
again.
Sight-seeing in
London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start the day
is to fill up on an English breakfast.
For starters,
have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread. Then finish
off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea. You can buy an English
breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.
An English pub
is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and
try one of England's many ales (淡色啤酒).
The English also
like to have afternoon tea. This is toast and jam, or cake and another pot of
tea.
Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal.
So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea.
Or
you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and
simply watch the busy world go by.
57．Which of the following is not suggested as one of the best ways to make sense of London?
A. Taking a trip along the Thames. B. Subway.
C. Tour buses. D. London Eye.
58．According to the story, which place may be London's most visited tourist spot?
A. Buckingham Palace. B. The Tower of London.
C. Big Ben. D. The River Thames.
59．If you go to London in December, you will not be able to __________.
A. tour the city along the River Thames. B. visit Windsor Castle
C. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards
D. tour the Buckingham Palace
60．The word "starters" in the last paragraph but four (倒数第五段) means ________.
A. the first course of the
meal B.
beginner
C. the first time
D. those who haven't had an English breakfast
