阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” as “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
56. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.
A. want to be happy
B. want to be as rich as their neighbors
C. don’t want others to know they are wealthy
D. want others to know or to think that they are rich
57. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.
A. live in apartments
B. have many neighbors
C. live outside New York City
D. live in New York City
58. From the text, we know that _______.
A. Not all of his neighbors want to keep up with rich lifestyles
B. All the neighbors of Momand like to keep up with the Joneses
C. Momand never seems to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses
D. Momand became very rich and returned to the wealthy neighborhood
59. Arthur used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ________.
A. a good name
B. a popular name
C. an important name
D. an unknown name
60. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.
A. selfish
B. impossible C. reasonable
D. interesting
B
Many of you may think healthy eating means you have to replace the foods you love with those you don’t.
The truth, though, is that keeping a healthy diet can be fun. Just ask Julie Upton, an expert on nutrition and health in the US. Upton wants to advise teens everywhere to eat healthier .She gives some suggestions on how to do just that.
Q: What motivations (动机) should you keep in mind to eat healthily?
A: I suggest setting goals for yourself. For example, it may be a goal to have one piece of fruit with lunch every day for a month, or to avoid eating fast food completely for the next month. Also keep telling yourself, “What I eat now will affect how I look and feel a few weeks from now, or how well I perform at school or in sports.
Q: What nutrients should teens have every day?
A: It depends on if you are a boy or a girl and how a girl and how active you are. The best place to find your best nutrient requirements (需要量) is www.mypyramid.gov. Enter your gender, age and activity level. It will tell you how many calories you need a day. It will also break that into how many servings of each of the food groups those calories should come from.
In general, most teens need about 2,500 to 3,500 calories every day.
Q: What can teens do to make healthy snacking a fun habit?
A: Teens are influential (易受影响的).Your good habits can influence lots of people, including your friends, younger sisters and brothers. You could do challenges with friends about eating better. I think any way you can involve your friends will help you succeed.
Also, get your family in on the health pleasure. If your parents do the food shopping, they have to know what to buy, so you need to tell them that you want healthier foods at home.
61. In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this article?
A. Science Life
B. School Fashion
C. Culture Corner
D. Business World
62. What is the person who asks the three questions?
A. A patient requiring many calories.
B. An expert on nutrition and health.
C. A reporter working for a newspaper.
D. An official affected by health problems.
63. To keep healthy, teens .
A. need about 2500 to 3500 calories every week
B. are suggested keeping certain motivations in mind
C. have to replace the foods they love with those they don’t
D. can pay little attention to their relatives’ and friends’ influences
64. The underlined word “involve” in the second to last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. take in
B. pull in
C. bring in
D. participate in
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Www.mypyramid.gov. is a website planned for teens only.
B. You can eat healthily, but not pleasantly at the same time.
C. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods in order to eat healthily.
D. Your gender has no effect on what nutrients you should have every day.
C
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
66. According to the passage ______.
A. Boxing rings should be round
B. There should be egg in an eggplant
C. Pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. Sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
67. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Tooth
B. Beeth
C. Geese
D. Meese
68. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. Overlook and oversee
B. Quite a lot and quite a few
C. A wise man and a wise guy
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell
69. The underlined phrase “wind up” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A. Finish
B. Blow
C. Get hurt
D. Roll up
70. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. Crazy
B. Stupid
C. Lazy
D. Intelligent
D
Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation (住宿) and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
♢ Continental Breakfast
♢ Breakfast and Dinner
♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are normally exclusive of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion (侵入) of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities (设施) and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.
71. Which of the following will the host provide?
A. Free transport.
B. Medical care.
C. Room cleaning.
D. Physical training.
72. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.
B. Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.
C. The business centre of London is in Zone 1
D. Accommodation in the city centre is not provided.

C. Cereal and cold meat
D. Bread and fruit juice
74. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation (自理膳食)?
A. To enjoy much more freedom.
B. To entertain friends as they like.
C. To enrich their knowledge of English.
D. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
75. The passage is probably written for _____.

One possible version:
Nowadays, there is a common phenomenon(现象) that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students. For another, many parents and teachers hold a different view, and they think that managing a blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility.
In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Opening and organizing an eye-catching blog needs various abilities such as writing, designing, being skilful at computers and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog. And also, we can improve ourselves during the procedures of organizing our blogs.
