一、单项填空
1.It’s ______ good feeling for people to admire the Shanghai World Expo that gives them ______ pleasure.
A./;a B.a;/
C.the;a
D.a;the
解析:考查冠词的用法。句意:观赏上海世博会对人们来说是一种不错的感受,它能给他们快乐。feeling是可数名词,因此前面用a表示“一种好的感受”;pleasure常用作不可数名词,故第二个空不用冠词。
答案:B
2.I think it should be I myself not my wife who______for the bad habit of my child in the study before going to school.
A.am to be blamed
B.is going to blame
C.am to blame
D.should blame
解析:在强调句中考查固定搭配。该句对I myself进行了强调,myself是I的同位语,因此谓语动词应与I保持一致;sb.is to blame for sth.是固定搭配“因某事责备或抱怨某人”,用主动形式表示被动意义,故选A项。句意:我认为应该是我本人而不是我的妻子该为孩子去学校之前的学习的不良习惯受到责备。
答案:C
3.The computer centre,______last year,is very popular among the students in this school.
A.open

13.Mrs.Black took the police back to ______ place ______ she witnessed the robbery.
A.the same;that
B.the same;as

二、阅读理解

A new study published recently in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation:Heart Failure reveals that according to a new large study,women who consumed five or more servings of baked fish had a thirty percent lower risk of heart failure in comparison to women who consumed less than one serving a month.
Researchers examined the diets of 84,493 women from 50 to 79 years old.The women who consumed a lot of baked fish like salmon received stronger benefits than those who consumed mostly tuna,grouper or white fish.The consumption of baked fish also appeared to provide protection against high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease(心血管疾病).It also found that those women who consumed more baked fish tended to have a lower body mass index(身体质量指数),exercise more and consume more fruits and vegetables in comparison to those who consumed fried fish.
Researchers note that past research has discovered that the fatty acids in fish probably decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease by decreasing inflammation(炎症)and improving blood pressure along with heart and blood vessel functioning.This study does show the link between fish consumption and heart failure risk but it was not designed to show cause and effect.
This study also showed that just by consuming one serving of fried fish a week was linked to a 49% greater risk of heart failure.It also found that the consumption of fried fish was linked to a lower fiber intake and a higher calorie intake.Dr Lloydjones,associate professor with Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine,states frequent consumption of baked fish appears to be part of a suitable pattern that is greatly beneficial for numerous things.This advocates that fish is a very good source of lean protein that we should be increasing as a part of our diet.
Recommendations from the American Heart Association suggest consuming a minimum of two 3.5 ounce servings of fish especially fatty fish each week.
研究表明,一个月吃五次或五次以上的烤鱼对防止心力衰竭有好处。研究还表明,鱼肉中含有脂肪酸,有利于改善血压,提高心血管功能。

After Mike had opened his gifts on Christmas morning,the 5yearold boy’s mother asked him which one of his gifts he wanted to donate to a poor child who had no gift.“None,”Mike replied.His mom explained that sharing with those who were less fortunate was part of the holiday spirit and how a child who had less would be very happy to receive a gift.
The day after Christmas Mike agreed to part with one of his gifts—a flute (笛子).“How will they know it is for a child?”he asked.His mother told him that he could attach a note to the flute and she helped him write one that read,“Please make sure this gets to a kid who doesn’t have toys.”
On his tenth Christmas Mike looked over his three inexpensive gifts.His mother told him this year he didn’t have to part with a gift.He told her he wanted to.She gave him a big hug with tears in her eyes.
The gift giving tradition continued into adulthood.Mike had not missed a Christmas in over 30 years.One Christmas Mike’s own 5yearold boy asked,“What was the best gift you got for Christmas when you were a kid?”He explained to his son that the best gift he ever received didn’t come in a box,and you couldn’t even hold it in your hand.Just imagine the happy looks on the faces of the children as they open the gifts you sent them.
The following day when Mike was getting ready for the drive to the donation box,his son came running out with a new toy in his hands.“Dad,I want to part with the toy;can you help me write a note?”
Material gifts can be precious but the greatest gifts that we can give to children can’t be purchased at the mall.We should let children learn to share and help others in need.
