(D)
Increasingly , over the past ten years, people ---especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food it this necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.
It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on ―healthy eating‖.
1. Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article? B A. People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong. B. People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. C. People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. D. People should eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and strong. 2. ―Particularly processed foods‖ means ______A_____.
A. foods which are particularly processed by adding chemical additives B. foods which are particularly made by commercial farms C. foods which are specially produced by commercial factories D. foods which are not specially made by adding anything 3. Natural foods means _____D____. A. foods good for health B. foods not good for health
C. foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soil D. crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from health pastures 4. There are no vitamins, no minerals and no fibers in __C_______.
A. natural foods B. sugar C. animal meats D. fruit 5. ―Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories‖ It means __C___.

A. processed food provides us with energy
B. natural food furnishes us with vitamins and minerals C. sugar gives us enough energy in the form of calories fiber helps us to digest food

学会感恩(Learn To Thanksgiving)
We are supposed to express our gratitude to others on Thanksgiving Day. However, we should feel gratitude every day. God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life, we often receive help from our parents, friends, colleagues and strangers. Perhaps it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.

II. Reading Comprehension
(A)
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country‘s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination
14
country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country‘s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.
1.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection? D A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential. C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.
2.The underlined word― inhabitants‖ (in Paragraph 1 ) probably means__D______. A. tourists B. passengers C. population D. citizens 3.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _____B___ . A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists‘ customs C. over - crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic 4.It can be inferred from the text that ____B____ . A. the author doesn‘t like tourism developing so fast B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C. other parts of a country‘s economy won‘t benefit from tourism much D. we can't build too many support facilities
5.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ___D_____ .
A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life
(B)
Cultural differences largely determine differences in the way the elderly are treated by others. In the Oriental, Middle Eastern, African, and American Indian cultures, for example, young men are expected to be aggressive and strive for success in the real world, while old men devote themselves to the supernatural, old men were usually venerated() in preliterate societies, often becoming chiefs. Women in many societies followed the opposite pattern, moving from passivity to greater assertiveness with advancing age.
Long life and experience make elderly people a valued source of knowledge in some cultures, but in technologically advanced societies the rising number of elderly has decreased their ―scarcity value‖. At the same time, their children and grandchildren have increasingly turned to mass communications media, schools, and libraries as superior sources of information. This has resulted in diminishing the prestige of the aged. The increasing proportion of elderly people in many countries will have a widespread impact on society. Growing demands on financial, welfare, medical, recreational, and environmental resources and large number of nonworking individuals dependent on the working population will necessitate many changes in social systems.
6. The main subject of this passage is ______B____. A. the importance of old people B. the social role of old people C. the attitudes towards old people D. the concerns about old people 7. This passage is developed by ___B_______. A. analogy B. comparison C. hypothesis test D. problem solving
8. What is the reason for the decrease of old people‘s ―scarcity value‖ in developed nations? A
