Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the food that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough. Better not have high-fat food. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them. Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess (过多的) calories.36.

The relationship between Hannibal and Twain began in November 1839, when Twain’s father decided to leave the village in Florida and move east about 35 miles to the somewhat larger and more prosperous Hannibal, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Twain marked his fourth birthday about a week after the family settled there. He showed little promise of becoming a long-term resident. However, because his health was so poor that his parents probably feared he would not survive childhood.During the family’s first few years in Hannibal, Twain wa s too young to understand fully the changes going on around him. About the time the family moved into their new home. Twain’s health improved a lot. Instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life, he could roam (闲逛) the streets of Hannibal, climb the surrou nding hills, explore the area’s caves and splash about in local swimming holes. He reveled (沉醉于) in his newfound freedom, spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader.Twain’s carefree days did not last long, on March 24, 1847, his father died. For the next six years, his brother Henry, and his sister Pamela lived with their mother in the family home. Twain began taking odd jobs after school to bring in extra money. Within a year of his father’s death, he quit school and became an apprentice printer, and when his brother Orion bought the Hannibal Journal in 1851, Twain went to work for him as a printer and editorial assistant. The stories he wrote for Orion’s paper, his first publications, taught him that he much preferred writing to typesetting (排字). Thus, when he decided to leave Hannibal in May 1853, he already had an ideaof his future career.41. Why did little Mark Twain move and live in Hannibal?A. Because he wanted to live in a larger and more prosperous city.B. Because his father brought him there.C. Because he wanted to wrote his novels there.D. Because he wanted to become a long-term resident of Hannibal.42. When did Mark Twain become healthy?A. As soon as he arrived in Hannibal.B. At the time when his family moved into their old home.C. After his father died.D. At the time when his family moved into their new home.43. The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. the happy childhood of Mark TwainB. how Mark Twain became a famous writerC. how Mark Twain to earn money to support his familyD. why Mark decided to leave HannibalCA new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This c ould end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend ImpingtonSchool. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school . But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.44.What is the aim of the plan?A. To prevent the students’ road accidentsB. To relieve the traffic pressureC. To save time for the parents and studentsD. To help the parents save money45. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?A. By letting the bus run in the morning onlyB. By limiting the number of the studentsC. By getting the support from the headmasterD. By linking the new bus service with the existing one46. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?A. The bus company will make much more moneyB. The children can choose whatever school they likeC. The parents can get rid of their worriesD. he students in Impington School can have free bus rides47. This passage is most probably _____A. a personal letterB. an advertisementC. a headmaster’s reportD. a newspaper articleDBoth warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cold underground caves. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. As their body temperature rises, these reptiles (爬行动物) move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles becomes more active and begin their search for food again.Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals, like desert birds, manage to find water holes. Other desert animals, such as kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water.Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted (适应) to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall, they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks, when the puddles dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. Until then, their body activities continue at a reduced rate.The camel-- often called the ship of the desert, is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long periods without water, but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water is not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps (驼峰). A camel’s hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The result is H2O，or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.48. Desert animals are usually more active at night because_____.A. it is cooler at nightB. it is easier to find waterC. they like the darkD. they are less likely to be attacked at night49. Which of the following desert animals can get water only from the food?A. The camelB. The kangaroo ratC. The frogD. The rat50. The title for the passage could probably be ______A. Hot DesertsB. How Desert Animals Get WaterC. Desert AnimalsD. Ways To Escape the Desert HeatIV. 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，写出对应的单词，每空只写一词。
