A
A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
During the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.
1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.
B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland.
C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.
D. Heart doctors won’t call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.
2. The underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connection between _______ and the incidence of heart disease.
A. the amount of fish eaten                    B. regular fish-eating
C. the kind of fish eaten                       D. people of different regions
3. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B. the changes in people’s diet in the United States
C. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
D. the effect of fish-eating regularly on people’s health
4. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?
A. The author doesn’t give a definite answer.
B. Because American people drink too much spirits.
C. Because there are a great number of fat people there.
D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish.
5. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study?
A. 550, 000.                    B. 110,000.           C. 275,000.         D. 852.
B
The United States has about 475,000 school buses ---all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.
6. What does this passage mainly tell us?
A. High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.
B. New measures to transport school students.
C. The safest form of student transportation.
D. The origin of Walk to School Day.
7. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?
A. There are too many school buses in the United States.
B. There are too many students in the US.
C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US.
D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Cuts in bus service will have negative results.
B. The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services.
C. The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means.
D. Reducing bus service will do a lot of good to the environment.
9. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.
A. changing some bus routes                                      B. stopping some bus routes
C. asking parents to drive children to and from school    D. using other types of fuels
10. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.
A. save more fuels and diesel for the country  B. keep the children safe on their way to school
C. make the children live a simple life            D. keep the children healthy and the environment clean
IV阅读表达
One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the cashless society is not on the horizon---it’s already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales.  They can keep a wide rang of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to recorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignment to be made accordingly. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in store, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
76. What do you think the credit card can cause its owner to get?
_______________________________________________________________________________
77. What do you learn from the last sentence of the first paragraph?
_______________________________________________________________________________
78. What can take the place of “ring up sales”?
_______________________________________________________________________________
79. Please infer computer’s future according to the last paragraph.
_______________________________________________________________________________
80. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

5．A　作者不想和这个孩子说话，所以只是随意问话而已，并不真的关心她在堆什么。
6．A　小女孩说她自己也不知道自己在堆什么，她只是喜欢摸着沙子的感觉。
7．B　根据后面一句话(Mum says sandpipers come to bring us joy.)可知答案。
8．D　根据第一段内容和作者说的“Good­bye，joy”可知，当时作者感到郁闷，所以他在听了小女孩的话之后，和“快乐”说了再见，向痛苦打了声“招呼”。由此可知，这里应该选pain。
9．A　out of balance的意思是“失去平衡”，即作者当时感到自己的生活好像失去了  平衡。out of sight表示“看不见”；out of mind表示“发疯，发狂”；out of range表示“在射程外”。
10．B　与前面的pain相对应。小女孩让他改天再来这里，过上快乐的一天。
11．C　belong to表示“属于”。
12．D　下文提到作者的母亲去世了。因此，这里表示“生病的母亲”，选sick。
13．B　与上文提到的sandpiper (矶鹞鸟)相照应。即需要去寻找快乐(小女孩说过这种鸟代表快乐)。
14．D　作者几乎已经“忘记”那个小女孩了。
15．C　根据后面的句子She pointed toward a summer cottage可知，作者是问小女孩的住处。
16．A　mood表示“心情”，即作者甚至没有心情和小女孩打招呼，只想自己单独呆一会儿。
17．A　根据语境可知，作者想要单独呆一会儿。其他选项不符合语境：lonely表示“孤独的”；unique表示“独一无二的”；special表示“特殊的”。
18．B　根据下文可知，小女孩是身患重病的，因此B项正确，即她面色苍白。
19．A　作者感到自己以前伤害了那个小女孩，因此感到抱歉。
20．D　作者想念那个小女孩了，所以才去她家找她。

A possible version:
Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student named Wang Ping. Recently, we often have to buy presents for our classmates’ birthdays, and sometimes, we are invited to their birthday parties in expensive hotels, which caused us to think whether students should spend so much money for birthdays.
About this there are two different views. Some students think it provides us with a good chance to communicate with each other and develop our friendship, and besides, we can relax after hard work at school. However, some other students think it’s a waste of money and time and can lead us to getting into the bad habit of trying to keep up with the Joneses, which has a bad effect on our growth and studies.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s not easy for our parents to make money and keep us at school for education. We must treasure our parents’ labor and put our hearts into our studies. What do you think about it?
I’m expecting your reply.
Yours,
