A
The idea that eating fruits and vegetables will cut one’s appetite did not work out in a new study; in fact, adding fruit juice before meals boosted (增强) hunger and weight gain for some participants.
Eating apples and grapes before lunch helped people feel fuller and eat slightly less than when they drank an amount of fruit juice as an appetizer in the experiment. However, putting volunteers on a fruit- and vegetable-heavy diet for months made no long-term difference in their assessments of their own hunger and fullness, researchers found.
Some doctors have hoped that encouraging people to eat greater volumes of fruits and veggies might help them feel full for longer and prevent overeating and weight gain. But the new study suggests loading up with more carrots and oranges every day won’t stop hunger over the long run. The findings follow results from the same trial showing 34 participants, some overweight, some a healthy weight, gained between 3.5 and 5 pounds when they were given eight weeks of fruit juice to be added to their diet.
“If you tell people to add anything to their diet, you’re going to potentially have no weight loss, even with fruits and vegetables,” said Barbara Rolls, chair of nutritional sciences at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park.
That’s especially true for drinks, she said, since the body regulates hunger and thirst differently — and people will not eat less to make up for juice or other calorie-filled drinks.
Richard Mattes from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and his colleagues found that when they fed volunteers a regular lunch, they ate an average of 785 or 821 calories of it, depending on the day. When the same participants started a meal with fresh and dried fruit, and then went on to the main course, they ended up eating 678 calories of lunch, the fruit course included. When they started with fruit juice instead, the volunteers took in a total of 891 calories.
31. According to the experiment, we know that .
A. a fruit- and vegetable-heavy diet only has a short-term effect
B. drinking plenty of fruit juice leads to weight loss
C. children should eat more fruit and vegetables
D. most participants achieve the goal to reduce weight
32. According to what Barbara Rolls said, we know that .
A. most of people prefer juice to fruit and vegetables
B. adding juice to the diet can help people stay full
C. people always feel hungry and thirsty at the same time
D. adding fruit to the diet can’t make people lose weight
33. Which of the following ways is more effective in weight loss?
A. Drinking enough fruit juice before your meal.
B. Having three meals at the fixed time every day.
C. Eating fresh and dried fruit before your meal.
D. Eating plenty of carrots and apples.
34. What does the underlined word “appetizer” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Sweet food eaten at the end of a meal.
B. Things eaten or drunk before a meal to encourage the appetite.
C. Things eaten to help people make weight control easier.
D. Things that make people absorb more nutrition.
B
There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old. I would get up every morning at the orphanage (孤儿院), make my bed and go to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in the same dormitory.
After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent (宿舍管理员) chasing the beautiful butterflies who lived by the hundred in the bushes around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, took them out from the net and then stuck straight pins (别针) through their head and wings, pinning them on a heavy cardboard sheet. How cruel it was to kill something of great beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.
When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the butterfly he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and trying to get away but it was still pinned by the other wing with a straight pin. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled. I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly. I tried to make it stick back on so it could fly away before the house parent came back. But it would not stay on the butterfly.
The house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started shouting at me. I told him that I did not do anything but he did not believe me. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it into the garbage can. Then he left. I tried to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard. So I put them into an old shoe box and buried them in the bottom of the bushes.
Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.
35. When the house parent went to answer the telephone, the writer .
A. tried stealing the cardboard paper that was left on the back step
B. tried his best to save a live butterfly that was caught just now
C. dropped the cardboard on the floor and stepped on it angrily
D. picked some butterflies down and put them into his album
36. Why did the butterfly pieces go everywhere?
A. The pins on the cardboard paper were not fixed firmly.
B. The house parent hit the writer with the cardboard paper.
C. The writer failed to make them stick back on the cardboard paper.
D. The butterflies tried to fly away and ended up breaking off their wings.
37. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A. The dead butterflies should have a peaceful rest.
B. The dead butterflies should be broken into pieces.
C. The butterfly pieces should have gone with the wind.
D. The butterfly pieces should be thrown away like the garbage.
38. The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. clear them away B. throw them away
C. drive them away D. give them away

A young man was plagued (使苦恼) by the deadlines he had to meet at work, and he always saw his children only when they were asleep. He did not know what to do. One day, his father turned up with a colorful plant and said, “Tomorrow when you leave for work, simply touch the youngest of the leaves and say, ‘To you I leave my household problems, for now I am a man of the world.’; when you return from work at night, touch the same leaf and say, ‘I am returning to my wife and kids, and I’m not a man troubled by his work.’” Before long the young man regained balance in his life.
If only everyone could find a plant like that! This is probably the most serious mistake one can make as a parent and a family person — bringing work home. It just spoils everything! The best thing to do is to reach your office a little early and leave a little late, rather than carry work home. That way, you can be completely there for your kids once you are home.
Just as it is important not to bring work home, it is also important to leave family problems and tensions home before you step into the office. Carrying family problems to the workplace is totally unprofessional. If you are going to come to the office and you’re still stuck up on your child’s homework, your boss is not going to like it. The best way to take care of this is to completely put yourself into the task at hand, so that you can block out anything else that may be a distraction.
Use two different phones, one for your professional life and one for your family and friends. That way, you can choose who you want to be available to at what time in the day and on which days of a week.
The weekend is a time in the week when you can totally be a family man or woman. If you plan your work well, you will be able to meet all deadlines and still be with your family without feeling guilty of having left work undone. If you are unable to give your family time during the week, then divide the week into working days and weekends, and do justice to both of them.
The thing is that we get only one life. So we can never be prepared for certain things. We do not have the experience of becoming a parent when we become a parent for the first time. We do not have the experience of being married when we get married for the first time. Sometimes, this is why certain situations in life overwhelm us. But if it is not your own, you can definitely learn a few things from the experiences of those around you. So do not shy away from talking to your family, friends and relatives. Do not feel like it is a failure on your part that you cannot manage to do something.
Sometimes we fail to realize the fact that we do not always have to choose between two things; sometimes the solution to a problem is to choose both the things. There can be a win-win answer to such questions. So take the time out for both the things, as they are both important in life.
43. Why was the young man always unhappy?
A. He didn’t have a colorful plant at home.
B. His children stayed up too late every night.
C. He always had to do what his father told him.
D. He couldn’t balance his work and family life.
44. In the author’s opinion, the greatest mistake for a parent is to .
A. leave the office too early B. reach the office too late

A. bring work home as it is a kind of new fashion
B. combine work with pleasure wherever they are
C. pay attention to their work when they’re at work
D. solve family problems first before they go to work
46. We can learn from the passage that .
A. it is necessary to learn from the experiences of others
B. people needn’t worry about their work on weekends
C. people should get prepared for unexpected things
D. it is disturbing that there are so many phones in the office

It was the summer of 1998 and I was living with my parents at our seafront house in Tenerife. I was trying to study hard for my engineering degree in September.
I went up to the roof for a break and watched people sunbathing and swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day — a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But as I looked into the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. I’d seen these mini-tsunamis (海啸) many times before. They must have been at least four meters high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people know to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I ran down into the street, grabbing my bodyboard (冲浪板) on the way, and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 meters out. The waves had pulled them into the open sea from the pool. Everyone was in a state of confusion. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn’t a choice. I wasn’t accustomed to this sort of emergency — I’d never been trained as a lifeguard — but I didn’t think twice about trying to save them. I suppose in a way I wanted to impress everyone; at the age of 19, a situation like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off. xKb 1.Com
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. They were young, not much older than 16. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn’t have been able to stay afloat much longer. I grabbed the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out. We had to wait, trying to keep them on the boards, patting their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.
30 minutes later, I began to feel a bit scared. Keeping the two people on the boards was extremely tiring. Finally, in the distance, we discovered a small boat with three lifeguards heading towards us. When the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. It seemed pretty unprofessional to leave us there — we were a couple of miles from the shore. People who had watched what happened came to meet us and check if we were OK, but there was no round of applause. Everything was back to normal.
That night, I stopped to think about the whole event. It all felt a bit strange. A friend had gone to the hospital and found out that the two people were in good condition, but they probably would have died if they’d been in the sea for any longer. I knew it was a big deal that we’d saved them, but at the same time it didn’t seem like that much effort. I was hoping to experience some sort of sense of wellbeing or peace for my good deed, but none of that came. I didn’t feel like a hero. I’m sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.
47. We can know from the passage that .
A. a stranger ordered the writer to call the coastguard
B. the writer judged by the screams that someone needed help
C. the writer decided to rush out to help others on second thought
D. one of the writer’s neighbors rushed out with several coastguards
48. Why did the writer pat the boy’s face after putting him onto the board?
A. To discuss something with him. B. To let the boy remember him.
C. To keep himself afloat. D. To make the boy awake.
49. The underlined part in Paragraph 6 implies that .
A. they didn’t know what to do B. they had to swim back
C. waiting for help was a good choice
D. the lifeguards didn’t want to save them
50. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A. It was a big deal for him to save the boy.
B. He should not have risked his life to save the boy.
C. There should have been some audiences for him to show off.
D. The lifeguards would have saved the boy if he hadn’t appeared.

One possible version:
Things that must be done today can’t be put off until the next day. Frequent delays make a person less efficient. A subtle step can really make a difference in our life.
There was a time when the final exam was coming. The exam was so important that our teachers assigned so much homework to us. We had to manage to finish them in time. But some classmates poured scorn on what we were doing and they thought they would do their homework the next day in the teeth of being punished by teachers because of their behavior. Time flew by without our being aware of it. Needless to say, those who hadn’t finished their homework in time didn’t get the grades that they expected.
Life is too short not to live well, so I think it of great significance to do our work today, not tomorrow. Never will I doubt that one’s daily behavior can change one’s future. I am so acquainted with this truth because of the experience above. After hearing my words, what will you do today?
