Since my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I'd got a permanent one.
I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say "where are you going?" I rushed out of the house in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as nervous as if I were going on the stage. Finding the place quite easily, I tore up three flights of stairs, and swung breathlessly through a door which said "Enter without knocking, if you please."
The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me, and I sat down on the edge of a chair. The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me. Then she questioned me in a low voice. I answered softly and started to feel helpless. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of job, so I felt I had to give her the idea of a widowed mother struggling against poverty. But I felt more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience or references. Suddenly, the telephone on her desk rang. While having a mysterious conversation, she kept looking at me. Then I heard her say:
"In fact, I've got someone here who might suit." She wrote down a number, and my spirits rose as she held out the paper to me, saying: "Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. Cook a dinner for ten people tomorrow. Could you manage that, I wonder?"
"Oh, yes," said I — never having cooked for more than four. Then I rushed out and called the lady -- Miss Cathy. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. "Are you sure?" she kept saying. Anyway she decided to employ me and a permanent position if I carried out the promise of my self-praise. I asked her what tomorrow's menu was to be.
"Just a small, simple dinner: lobster cocktail, soup, turbot Mornay, fruit salad and a savory." In a rather shaken voice I promised to turn up in good time tomorrow and rang off.
35. Why did the author decide to look for a job on her own?
A. Because she believed that her family were not willing to help her.
B. Because she was a widowed mother struggling against poverty.
C. Because she wanted to get some professional experience by herself.
D. Because she thought her family didn't want her to become a cook.
36. What did the author feel on her way?
A. Excited but worried.  B. Nervous and excited.
C. Easy and curious.   D. Helpless but excited.
37. Why didn't the woman give the author the job at first?
A. Because the woman found that the author didn't respect her.
B. Because the woman realized that the author made up a story.
C. Because the girl hadn't been a cook before or got a reference.
D. Because the woman had already hired a more suitable cook.
38. According to the text, what would the author most probably do after the call?
A. Read some cookery books. B. Call her family and tell them the news.
C. Go to the woman's house. D. Buy what the woman told her at once.
C
PALO AITO, California—"Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter -- even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth grades students, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.91kg ) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家）at Stanford University.
"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years," Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories," Robinson said.
"Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson added.
39. What do the first two paragraphs imply?
A. Children in the US are tired of watching TV.
B. Watching TV can help children to loose weight.
C. Younger children watch more TV than older ones.
D. More TV viewing is harmful to children's health.
40. In average, the time American children spend watching TV ___.
A. is more than four hours a day
B. is less than four hours a day
C. has doubled in the last twenty years
D. is more than doing any other things
41. The researchers made sure the students didn't change their diet in order to ___.
A. keep them from getting too heavy
B. enable them to do more exercises
C. reduce their time watching TV
D. make their findings more believable
42. According to the passage, why can watching TV increase kids' weight?
A. They usually eat more while watching TV.
B. They change their diet while watching TV.
C. They burn off more calories while watching TV.
D. They don't want to take exercise while watching TV.
D
A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.
This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.
There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies — a disease with no known cure.
Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.
Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”
43. The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ___.
A. where Americans keep their pets
B. what costly lives the pets are living
C. why children love their pets so much
D. how much pets depend on their masters
44. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ___.
A. getting quite hot   B. feeling overwhelmingly angry
C. becoming excited   D. receiving a fashionable shirt
45. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?
A.Pet.  B. Food.  C. Medicine.  D. Sports.
46. What is author's attitude towards pets-raising?
A. Pitiful.  B. Neutral.  C. Opposed.  D. Supportive.
E
Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body — the brain.
It may be surprising to learn that it isn't age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a "lazy" memory, not an old one. Like your body your memory improves with exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power. Before discussing how to improve the memory, let's look at how the brain works. There are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. The right side deals with the senses (what we see, hear, feel and smell). It's the creative and imaginative side. The left side is concerned with logic. It analyzes information and puts it in order.
Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. The problem most of us has is recalling events. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten, and so on.
This shows revision is very important. If you revise new material you have learnt, you remember much more. So it's of vital importance to revise newly learned material often, and have frequent breaks. We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, revise what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.
Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to "digest" what has been learned. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After the break, the memory will have absorbed what it has just learned, and more will be remembered. During this period it is important to exercise the right side of the brain, because the left side is used during the learning period. Therefore you should relax. Listening to music, breathing in fresh air, and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain. So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to revise newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will improve.
47. According to the text, you lose your memory by ___.
A. getting too old   B. hardly using your brain
C. working too hard   D. using your brain too much
48. To fight forgetting effectively, we're advised to ___.
A. go back to what was learned regularly
B. break down materials into small pieces
C. focus on both ends of a learning period
D. take breaks to give the brain a good rest
49. During the learning process the brain need breaks to ___.
A. use the right side of the brain B. revise newly learnt materials
C. take in what has been learnt D. relax the left side of the brain
50. Where is this text most probably taken from?
A. Science fictions.  B. Students' literature.  C. An advertisement.  D. A science report.

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题，请注意问题后的词数要求。
I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely to discover which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
56. What did the author like most as a child? (no more than 2 words)

57. What did the author want to be when he was young? (no more than 3 words)

58. What can help a writer to find his own voice? (no more than 2 words)
