AGood health is the most valuable possession a person can have, but one can not regard good health as certain to happen. It's important to remember that a body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to stay in good shape: one should eat the right foods, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition（营养）is important for good health. Your body can not function（起作用）well unless it receives the proper kind of“fuel”. Avoid（避免）foods with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein（蛋白质）, like meat, fish, beans and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are especially important because they provide necessary vitamins（维生素）and minerals. However, don't overeat. It's not healthful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount（总量）of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and irritable（急躁的）. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality（个性）. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles（肌肉）, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan（寿命）. Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling. Gymnastics and running are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.56．In keeping good health, ____.A．we should eat a lot of sweetsB．one needs a large amount of fatC．people should eat according to the foods nutritionD．we must try to sleep now and then57．The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means ____.A．heavy B．comfort ableC．sensitive（灵敏的） D．puzzled58．The writer tells us ____ in the passage.A．how to eatB．what to eatC．the time we need to sleepD．how to keep healthy59．The title of this Passage should be ____.A．Eating and SleepingB．Staying HealthyC．Sleeping WellD．Good FoodsBFor more than fifty years, a small piece of carved deer bone rested in a dim (not bright) coner of a French museum. It had never been closely examined. When I put it under my microscope（显微镜）on that July day in 1965, I suddenly felt that I was looking into the mind of the man who had made it and used it more than thirty thousand years ago.A series（系列）of carved marks, made with many different tools, had been carved on the surface of the bone. They formed a pattern. It seemed to be a record of some sort. After many months, I found out the shapes, made during the Late Ice Age, match perfectly with the phases of the moon （月相）over a period of more than two months. I had discovered the earliest known human note. They were made twenty thousand before the beginning of writing, or calendars（日历）.60．When the writer put the bone under his microscope,A．he found some words on itB．he saw some prints on itC．some English words came to his eyesD．he was puzzled by the strange words61．As a result, the writer ____.A．got to know a strange language from other planetsB．understood how ancient（古代的）people made notes about their daily-lifeC．know that the words on the bone was a calendarD．copied some words down from the calendar62．The first sentence makes it clear that ____.A．French museums are poorly lightedB．the bone was a valuable museum pieceC．the deer bone was thought to be worthlessD．no one realized the importance of the objectCWe need never feel dull（单调的）in the courtry. No matter how often we walk down the same road, over the same field, or through the samewoodland paths, there is always something new, something fresh to see. It may be a little plant that has come up since last we visited the place;a hedge（篱笆）that was just a lot of brown sticks may now be covered with flowers. We may find a bird's nest deep in a bush, and if we are careful not to frighten the birds, as they pass, see first the little eggs,and then baby birds.We never know what we may see, or find when we start out for a country walk. But we must walk. We must learn to use our eyes, keep them wide open, or we shall pass by many a pretty or interesting plant, or miss the sight of some little wild animals, who see us well enough, and will keep perfectly still and quite so that we should not notice him, until we are quite out of wild children of the woods and fields are easily frightened, and if we want to get to know them, we must do as they do, and learn to be quiet and keep very still when watching them at work or play. All the year round, from the first warm breath of spring till the last icy wind of winter, we shall always find something to please and interest us in the country.63．Which of the following statements is trueA．If we are careful not to frighten the birds in a bird's nest, we may see little eggs.B．If we are careful not to frighten the birds in a bird's nest, we may first see baby birds.C．If we are careful not to frighten the birds in a bird's nest, we may first see little eggs and then big birds.D．None of the above is false.64．We must keep our eyes wide open ____.A．in order to pass by interesting plants and see little wild animals B．so as not to miss the sight of pretty plants and little wild animals C．in order to pass by little wild animals and see the pretty plants D．so that we may pass by pretty plants as well as little wild animals65．What must we do if we want to get to know the wild children of the woods and fieldsA．We must be quite out of sight of them.B．We must make it possible towards them at work and play.C．We must do everything as they do.D．We must not frighten them.66．Which of the following points is not mentioned or implied（暗示）in the passageA．There is always something fresh to see in the country.B．Animals are easily frightened.C．Little wild animals have a keen（锐利的）sense of sight.D．Little wild animals have a keen sense of hearing.DMany teachers believe that the responsibility（责任）for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment（布置的作业）is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal （完美的）student is considered to be one who is motivated（目的明确的）to learn for the sake（原故）of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades（分数）. Grade-conscious（清醒的）students may be frustrated（受挫）with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade （分等级）every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief (short) written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative （积极性）and complete the assignment with less guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books,magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a univesity library works,they expect students, particularly graduate students, to be able to use all the reference sources（资料）in the library.Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over dependent on the United States, professors have other duties be sides teaching. Often they are responsible for managementwithin their department. In addition（此外）, they may be required to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach（接近）a professor during office hours or make an appointment（约会）.67．“Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.”This means“____.”A．teachers want students to fail examsB．teachers care only about exam gradesC．teachers believe that passing exams is not the only purpose of a courseD．teachers design courses for lectures only68．Professors in the United States usually expectA．the students to know all the answersB．the students to take the initiative and be independentC．the students never to ask for their adviceD．the students to work together69．The main idea of this Passage is that ____.A．students should learn independentlyB．students should learn under close guidance of their professorsC．students should learn how to work togetherD．students should not learn mainly for high grades70．If a student has a problem with classroom work, he or she should ____.A．make an appointment with the professor a week beforeB．approach a professor after classC．turn to the professor for help in his officeD．go to the professor's home71．Who is considered to be a good studentA．One who aims at getting good scores.B．One who is planning to get a degree.C．One who can memorize（记忆）knowledge.D．One who has the motivation to learn.ESnow and rain during the past two weeks came down as good news to farmers throughout China, since the country's agriculture suffered a drought（干旱）last year.Snow in the past two weeks affected all of North China and part of Northeast China and rain fell along the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River.According to statitics（统计）, 5 millimetres of snow fell in Beijing on Tuesday and yesterday morning. Total snowfall in the first 10 days of January has reached 9 millimetres. The average snowfall from this same period in the past 50 years is only 1 millimetre. A researcher told China Daily that weather observers（观察者）have used recent storms to experiment with artificial（非天然的）methods to increase the amount of snowfall. Only some regions（区域）in Beijing were affected. They include Changping and Fangshan, where the experiments took place.But not everyone in the streets was happy.By evening yesterday, the 122 hotline for traffic accident reports had taken more than 600 calls. Seven highways and expressways（快车道）in Beijing closed to traffic. Those included national highways 108,109 and110.The winter's first heavy snow in Northeast China's Liaoning Province blocked traffic, and sent people to the hospital with slip-and-fall injuries.Twenty-seven flights, including international ones, were delayed or cancelled（取消）at Shenyang's Taoxian International Airport.
