Changes in Life

Over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. Take my family for example. My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past. But now we call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information. But now we get the news by watching TV. Another big change is in my living conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with furniture. But now we have moved into a big

new three-room apartment. In short, our life has become comfortable and convenient.

How to keep healthy

Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of keeping healthy. Without a healthy body, we can do nothing. For me, there are three main ways to keep healthy. First, is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. It is better for us to have more fruit and vegetables everyday. Secondly, it is important to take regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on. Last but not least, it is essential to keep in a good mood. Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress. When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy.

四、阅读理解：从A B C D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons that clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.

If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothing would be simple and cheap. In many countries, however, clothing is sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the fabric or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.

Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It's still jus a suit and tie but they pay so much because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.

Fashion is constantly changing, which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have closets full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion.

Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!

21. The basic reason for people to wear clothes is to-----.D

A. keep warm and appear successful

B. cover their bodies and look attractive

C. look attractive and keep warm

D. keep warm and cover their bodies

22. Some clothes are expensive just because of----.D

A. the cost of the fabric

B. the successful businessmen

C. the cost of making the clothes

D. fashion

23. How much does and expensive suit cost? It costs-----.D

A. a few dollars B. a few hundred dollars

C. a hundred dollars D. thousands of dollars

24. It is often very expensive to be fashionable because-----.C

A. fashionable clothes are made of expensive fabrics

B. fashionable people only wear their clothes once

C. you have to keep buying new clothes

D. you have to know what is fashionable

25. The main idea of this passage is that----.B

A. some clothes are very expensive and some are cheap

B. many people choose their clothes according to what's in fashion

C. people wear clothes to keep warm and to cover their bodies

D. in many countries, clothes can sometimes be very expensive to buy

五. 判断正误

Mrs. Green gave her husband the letters to post when he was going to work. But sometimes Mr. Green forgot to do so and kept them in his pocket for days.

One fine morning in March, Mrs. Green asked him to post a letter. "Please post this letter and don't forget," she said. Mr. Green put the letter in his pocket and said, "I am sure to post this one." Mrs. Green smiled and said, "Yes, I believe that you will this time." Mrs. Green looked at his back, and was still smiling when she closed the door.

Mr. Green walked slowly along the street. Soon a man came up from behind him. When he walked by, the man looked back and smiled, "Don't forget to post the letter!"

Then a girl walked by, and she turned and smiled, too. "Don't forget to post that letter!" she said. Mr. Green said to himself, "Why are these people smiling at me? And how do they know I have a letter to post? "

At last he came to a post office, posted the letter‘and walked on. But after a while, a boy came up from behind him and asked him, "Did you post your letter?"

"Yes, I did," said Mr. Green.

"Then I can take off this paper," said the boy.

He took a large piece of paper from the back of Mr. Green's coat and showed it to him. On the paper were these words一"Ask him to post the letter."

(√) 27. Mr. Green sometimes forgot to post the letters immediately.

(×) 28. Many people in the street knew Mr. Green.

(×) 29. Mr. Green had his wife put the large piece of paper on his back.

An Extraordinary Change or Direction

Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise

money for charity.

As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became

a member of a pop dance team.

She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up,

and when they were 18 they left home.

She says, ―When I decided to do the round- the – world race, my husband thought I was bored because the

children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met

some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say,

from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey.‖

Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn‘t prepared her for the worst weather which they

experienced. She tells one story. ―One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs

when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn‘t move

because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.‖

By the end of October last year, she had raised more than 50,000 pounds for charity.

She says, ― Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it‘s the same as being a

dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then

on the trip I was simply a good team member.‖

26. What does the word ―extraordinary‖ mean in the title? ___B___

A. very ordinary

B. very unusual and surprising{中央电大英语作业}.

C. not special

D. extreme

27. The sentence ― my husband thought I was bored ― in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt

__B______.

A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at home

B. annoyed because I had to wait long for my children to come back home

C. happy because I could do something I was interested in instead of taking care of children

D. sad because all the children left me when they grow up

28. The word ―section‖ in Para. 4 most probably means here __C_____

A. group of people

B. part of the training

C. part of the route of sail

D. part of the job

29. Which of the following is nearest ( closest) in meaning to ―rough‖ in the sentence ―One night the sea was very rough‖ in Para. 5? ___C______

A. not exact

B. difficult

C. not smooth because of huge waves

D. pleasant

30. The last paragraph suggests that ____A______.

A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancer

B. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so she needn‘t do anything before the journey

C. she should be kind to other team members during the trip

D. she should not forget dancing during the trip

短文理解 2

In the last 500 years, nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500‘s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown.
