　　Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

　　A girl named Jenny once told me about her

　　36

　　in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke

　　37

　　:

　　My

　　38

　　with my mom all started one day

　　39

　　she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure sassy today.” I

　　40

　　it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never

　　41

　　back to her. So every time she would say something

　　42

　　I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay,

　　43

　　you want, Mom”

　　But I really got cold quickly. And my

　　44

　　began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s

　　45

　　”and then went back to mop the floor.

　　“Don’t you ever

　　46

　　?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was

　　47

　　upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I

　　48

　　her how important it was to me.

　　At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to

　　49

　　. You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s

　　50

　　than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a

　　51

　　to her.

　　After my blowup, we felt like we were

　　52

　　all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always

　　53

　　my feeling with her.

　　If you adopt Lose Win as your basic

　　54

　　toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be

　　55

　　your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

　　第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Looking back on

　　my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.

　　Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.

　　Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.

　　I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.

　　But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding

　　and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to a certain point,can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.

　　56.The first paragraph tells us the author .

　　A.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

　　B.lost his hearing when he was a child

　　C.didn’t like his brothers and sisters

　　D.was born to a naturalist’s family

　　.

　　A.he didn’t live very long with them

　　B.the family was extremely large

　　C.he was too young when he lived with them

　　D.he was fully occupied with observing nature

　　58.It can be inferred from the passage that the author was

　　.

　　A.a scientist as well as a naturalist

　　B.a naturalist but not a scientist

　　C.no more than a born naturalist

　　D.first of all a scientist

　　59.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he

　　.

　　A.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic

　　B.lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist

　　C.just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries

　　D.comes up with solutions in a most natural way

　　B

　　In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

　　Most AsianAmerican students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

　　Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

　　63.While making tremendous achievements at college, AsianAmerican students

　　.

　　A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English

　　B.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character

　　C.still worry about unfair treatment in society

　　D.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents

　　64.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?

　　A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.

　　B.Hard work and intelligence.

　　C.Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.

　　D.Asian culture and the American educational systerm.

　　65.Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because

　　.

　　A.their English is not good enough

　　B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas

　　C.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures

　　D.they know little about American culture and society

　　66.Why do “both explanations” (Para. 3) worry Asian Americans?

　　A.They are afraid that they will again be isloated from American society in general.

　　B.People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.

　　C.Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.

　　D.American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.

　　How to eat healthfully can be espeically complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.

　　“Go for nutrientdense foods,”she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrientdense ones are so superior, ”she emphasizes.

　　Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.

　　According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.

　　“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,”she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”

　　67.From the paragraph we know that working women .

　　think cooking is especially complicated

　　do not share the same views with registered dietitians

　　are busy and not interested in cooking

　　D.

　　are likely to eat healthfully

　　68.Orange juice is different from orange drink in that

　　.

　　A.it contains only a small percentage of real juice

　　B.it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges

　　C.it is largely orangecolored sugar water

　　D.it produces nothing but calories

　　69.In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search”means

　　.

　　A.an effort with no results

　　B.a search for a diet without fruits

　　C.a research on fruitless diet

　　D.a diet serving as medicine

　　70.Many women take it for granted, according to passage that

　　.

　　A.a balanced diet can result in being fat

　　B.staying thin and healthy are both possible

　　C.lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin

　　D.vitamins are some kind of subsitutions for food

　　71.By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”,the author means

　　.

　　A.carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life

　　B.vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value

　　C.carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals

　　D.without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use

　　Does a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption, say, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily helps to prevent coronary heart disease. Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in suport of that theory. More important, the work provided the first solid indiction of how alcohol works to protect the heart.

　　In the study, researchers from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attack with those of healthy people of the same age and sex. The scientists found that people who sip one to three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are. The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of highdensity lipoproteins, the socalled good cholesterol, which is known to prevent heart disease.

　　As evidence has mounted, some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases. But most physicians are not ready to reommend a regular happy hour for everyone. The risks of teetotalling(绝对戒酒) are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles—not to mention violent behaviour and traffic accidents. Moreover, some studies suggest that even

　　moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer. Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighbourhood bar or liquor store.

　　72.The medical article quoted in the first paragraph indicates

　　.

　　the way in which alcohol can help the heart

　　how a couple of cocktails daily can stop heart problems

　　why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s health

　　that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misled

　　73.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had .

　　A.larger amounts of good cholesterol

　　B.smaller amounts of good cholesterol

　　C.higher blood pressure

　　D.lower blood pressure

　　74.According to the passage, moderate drinking

　　.

　　is recommended by most doctors for heart patients

　　should be allowed on prescription

　　is still not medically advisable

　　is not related to liver problems

　　75.The main theme of this passage is .

　　the change in recent drinking habits

　　the connection between cancer and alcohol

　　whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers

　　whether alcohol may be good for one’s health

　　W:Yes?

　　M:I’d like two tickets to Kingston, please.

　　W:Single or return?

　　M:Single, please.

　　Text 2

　　W:Can I help you?

　　M:Yeah, I want a shared room for one night. How much is that?

　　W:It is 25 pounds. Can I have your passport?

　　M:Here you are.

　　Text 3

　　M:Well, how about going out for a dinner? My treat!

　　W:Thanks, but I have just had.

　　Text 4

　　W:So, what do you think? Do they fit me?

　　M:They are nice jeans, but too tight.

　　W:Well, I’ll leave them, then.

　　Text 5

　　M:Are you leaving?

　　W:I am afraid so.

　　M:Why not stay a few more days until Tom comes back?

　　W:Well, don’t you know he is the last man I want to see?

　　Text 6

　　M:Where were you when the accident happened?

　　W:I was driving the blue car.

　　M:What did you see?

　　W:I saw a truck coming from the other side. A young man was riding a bike. He suddenly turned left. And he was hurt before the truck driver stopped his car.

　　M:Was the truck going at high speed?

　　W:I don’t think so. If it had been at high speed, the boy would have been killed.

　　M:OK. Thank you. Would you leave your name and address here?

　　W:All right.

　　Text 7

　　M:So your plane landed in San Francisco that morning.

　　W:Yeah. We stayed there for two days and on the third day we flew to Los Angeles. Three days later we arrived in Washington. We spent two days there.

　　M:Did you travel in New York?

　　W:Sure. We were there for four days and then left for Toronto.

　　M:And Ottawa?

　　W:Yes. We finished our travel in Sydney and then flew back to London.

　　M:You had a pleasant holiday!

　　Text 8

　　W:In what way is your school different from other schools?

　　M:Our school is for all children. A few of the children are physically disabled, and some of the others have learning difficulties. We have fast learners and slower learners.

　　W:And is yours the only school like this?

　　M:That’s correct. Up till now, disabled children and those with learning difficulties were sent to special school. They grew up in a different world.

　　W:What made you decide to start this new school?

　　M:We realized that disabled children had no knowledge of children in ordinary schools. The opposite was also true. We thought it was important that all human beings should grow up together.

　　W:Do the slower learners hold up the faster learners?

　　M:No. For some classes, slower and faster learners are separated. In other classes they all work together.

　　W:How does that work?

　　M:Well. The faster learners help the slower learners. That way they become very skilled as teachers. When it’s time for the faster learners to do a task or do their homework, they do it more quickly and better too.

　　Text 9

　　M:So, how much money have we got to spend?

　　W:Seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. What do you suggest?

　　M:I suggest that we use mainly TV, cinema and print.

　　W:I see, magazines and newspapers. Can you give me your reasons?

　　M:Sure. First, our product looks good. So it would be a waste of money to use radio. Second, our product moves well, and it moves fast. So I want people to see it on the roads in our ads.

　　W:What about advertising boards?

　　M:No, I prefer magazines and newspapers, and we haven’t got the money to do all three. So people will see the ad on TV and in the cinema. Then they’ll be able to read all about it when they’re sitting down, reading their newspapers and magazines.

　　W:When do you want the advertising to start?

　　M:May 1st. That gives us three months to run to August 1 st when most people like to buy their new cars.

　　W:I see.

　　The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was watch the TV news. I could see that the situation was bad, and they showed a map where the fires were burning. Outside in the garden. I couldn’t see the sun, as the sky was full of smoke. I decided I’d better prepare to leave. My son was staying in town and my husband was abroad so it was up to me to decide what to do. I packed a suitcase of clothes and another case of useful things. It’s difficult in this kind of situation to know what to take with you. So I took my passport and my bankbook and all the money I had. Out in the garden the sky was getting blacker, and the wind which had been blowing hard for two days was getting stronger. I could now hear the sound of the fire which was only a mile or two away. I got into my car and drove down the road. The smoke was thick and at times it was difficult to see the road. Animals were running across the road, trying to escape the fire. Five miles down the road I came to a long bridge over the river. Once on the other side, I knew I was safe.
