第二部分（共两节 50分）

第一节 阅读理解阅读下面的短文。

从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40) A Some people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim( 苗条) without any effort.? But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it. The question is : what can they do about it? Some? believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like.? It' s straight — forward and often quite effective.Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.41. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that____________A.? it makes you sweat??????????????????????????????? B.? it' s hard workC.? it tires you out???????????????????????????????????

B.? not eating many carbohydratesC.? eating things that are hard to digest???????? D.? eating as little as possible43. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_____________.A.? weight???????????????? B.? power??????????????? C.? electricity?????????? D.? heat44.? Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage? A. Various Ways of Losing Weight??????????????? B. Don't Eat Too Mud C.? Ways to Keep Fit????????????????????????? D.? Food and Health BMost people heard of Shakespeare(莎士比亚) and probably know something of his plays. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this world - famous man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford - upon - Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life.Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his leaving home for London. It is said that he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from a neighboring landowner, and because of this he was forced to leave his native place.Whatever caused him to leave his hometown, the world can be thankful about it. When he arrived in London, he set his foot on the road to farm.? It is said that he was without money or friends there at first, but that he made a little money by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, he came to know the doctors in the theatre, and they found him clever. Finally he was invited to join their company.
