                     A
Sticking to the following exercises will probably help you to reach your fitness goal.
1. Jumping rope
Jumping rope is a cheap and easily portable exercise that you can do almost anywhere. This workout burns more calories per minute than any other workout. One of the best things about jumping rope is that you can do it with your kids. Moreover, jumping rope is a fantastic way to fit in a highly effective cardio（有氧运动）session（锻炼项目） when you are on the go. Simply toss your jumping rope in your carry-on and you don’t need to look for the nearest gym. So, who said jumping rope is only for kids?
2. Pushups 
Unfortunately, many people avoid doing pushups since this exercise is a bit harder to perform, but it can do wonders for your body. There are plenty of different pushups that work the different muscles in the shoulders and arms. Try to vary your pushup style to lower your risk of becoming bored with exercise. Do pushups a few days a week to help sculpt the arms and overall transform the body. Plus, pushups are good for your heart and this exercise helps to improve your posture. Just make sure you do them correctly — learn to do pushups with your back straight to avoid straining your back.
3 . Swimming
The great news for all lovers of swimming and for those who are trying to transform their bodies – it is a super effective workout that will bring you astonishing results. It helps strengthen your core and work different muscle groups. It helps to reduce your blood pressure and strengthen your heart. Plus, it is a wonderful way for your family to get moving and have plenty of fun together. Though, this exercise is not as portable as jumping rope
4. Cycling
A cycling workout is a foolproof way to get a great sweat and work your legs. It strengthens your legs and back, encourages your heart to work more efficiently and aids in weight loss. Cycling is also one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into your everyday routine since it’s a great means of transportation. It gets you fit and saves you money.

The boys crowded in two teams at the front of Charlene Skinner’s class as they thought over the math problem that flashed on the whiteboard. “That’s not right,” one boy said. “It says find the slope,” another boy said, instructing his classmates. Next door, in Room A114, the girls spent five minutes in Justin Anderson’s science class writing down everything they know about DNA. When the assigned time was up, Anderson asked the students to share some of what they noted down. “Nobody’s DNA is alike,” one girl said after raising her hand. “You get it from your parents,” said another.
      This is how some lessons are taught at James Gholson Middle School in Prince George’s County: boys in one classroom, girls in another. Advocates argue that separating boys and girls removes distractions (分心) and sex prejudice in the classroom, taking the lead from expensive private schools and boarding schools that have relied on single-sex learning for generations. But opponents say there is little evidence that such separation works, that it can be discriminatory (歧视) and that it doesn’t properly prepare students for a world that is mixed.
      Some experts say single-sex classes can break down sex stereotypes (定式), create opportunities for students and improve test scores. Kathy Couture, an education professor at Stetson University in Florida and a board member of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said students tend to be more focused on their curriculum and less concerned about impressing or getting attention from the opposite sex. She said girls tend to “dumb themselves down for boys” when they are together in math and science classes.
But a report published last week by the Psychological Bulletin — which reviewed 184 studies to compare the outcomes of learning in single-sex and mixed classrooms — raised questions about whether there are any real advantages to single-sex classrooms.
      Janet Hyde, one of the report’s co-authors, said there was no evidence to support the argument that boys do better orally or that girls improve in math and science when in single-sex settings. What is more important is that separating students might not adequately prepare them for college and careers. “One of the major purposes of school is to prepare students for the adult world, and that world is mixed,” Janet Hyde said. “I think we do harm to students by not preparing them for the adult world.”

61. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?
A. To show how boys and girls are taught separately.    
B. To show how the students behave in class.
C. To show how the two lessons are different.  
D. To show how the class activities are organized.
62. Why does James Gholson Middle School teach students separately?
   A. Because single-sex classes are popular in America.
   B. Because students may be more concentrated in single-sex classes.
   C. Because girls tend to look down upon boys in mixed classes.
   D. Because it is a private and expensive school.
63. According to Kathy Couture, what is the disadvantage of a mixed class?
   A. Students are not interested in their curriculums.
   B. Students may be disturbed by the opposite sex in their study.
   C. Girls are often absent from math and science classes.
   D. Students have fewer chances to have tests.
64. What is the point of Janet Hyde’s statement on single-sex classes?
   A. Single-sex classes do not improve boys’ speaking ability.
   B. Single-sex classes lead to worse academic performance.
   C. Single-sex classes harm the students in their future study and work.
   D. Single-sex classes do not help students’ physical development in their childhood .
65. What’s the main idea of this passage?
   A. Single-sex classes have the edge over mixed classes.
   B. In single-sex classes boys can learn languages better.
   C. Mixed classes have the obvious advantage over single-sex classes
   D. Effects of separated education remains to be assessed further
                         
 C
Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.
“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.

66. What does the author say about energy independence for America?
A.It sounds very attractive. C.It will bring oil prices down.
B.It ensures national security. D.It has long been everyone’s dream.
67. What does the author think of biofuels?
A.They keep America’s economy running healthily.
B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.
C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.
D.They cause serious damage to the environment.
68. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?
A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.
B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.
C.It wants to keep its own environment complete.
D. Its own oil production falls short of demand.
69. What does the author say about oil trade?
A. It proves profitable to both sides.
B.It improves economic efficiency.
C. It makes for economic prosperity.
D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.
70. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To stress the importance of energy conservation.
B.To excite Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.
C.To defend America’s dependence on oil imports.
D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.
Part IV  Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are just trying to lose weight. However, for most people who are overweight, the results are so minimal (微小的) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic results. It usually turns out that the programs are practically useless. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight when you stop your weight loss program. This is because such programs are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98%. Isn't there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only way to lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way, which includes proper diet and frequent exercise.      
Often, we eat far more than we'd actually need simply because we've been trained to clean our plates. By reducing portion sizes, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try using a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go (外卖) box before you start eating, and pack away half of your meal for later.
You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions in your cooking and meal choices. For example, try substituting low-fat salad dressings（调味品）; many taste just as good, if not better, as their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat. You can easily preserve flavor while enjoying natural weight loss.
    A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn't necessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weight loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand instead of running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.
Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent and it also may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your risk of falling diseases caused by excess（额外的）weight, such as diabetes（糖尿病) and heart disease.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

A recent national Retail Federation Survey found that nearly 72 percent of Americans plan on celebrating Father's Day this year according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal.
    And shoppers expect to spend an average of $99. 65 this year—more than two dollars more than they spent on Mother's Day. It is the first time in the 3-year-old survey for Father's Day spending to be higher than that on Mother's Day.
    Just under 45 percent of folks plan on giving Dad a card, 22 percent to take him out for dinner and 20 percent to buy clothes. Fifteen percent will give home improvement or gardening tools or appliances. About 14 percent are choosing gift certificates and 12 percent are handing Dad either music or books.
Women will spend more than men. The average woman plans to spend $101. 38 for Father's Day, while men will spend an average $ 70. 89. That is because many women plan on buying for both their husbands and their own fathers.
    Those in the 25 to 44 age range will be the biggest spenders, with an average spending of $ 130.
    Dads are gaining popularity in terms of spending patterns by loved ones. In 2005, consumers planned to spend just $ 52. 30 on Father's Day.
But the increased spending on gifts still leaves Dad with one bill to pay—the phone bill. Father's Day is traditionally the No.1 day of the year for collect phone calls（对方付费电话).
Jack McMaster, AT&T product management director, said in a news release that year after year the trend is the same. 
    "It's probably been happening since Father's Day was first celebrated informally, some 70 years ago," McMaster said.
Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in Dallas, explained that children relate differently to parents based on their gender and roles in the family.
"We've always looked to Mom for love and care." Wall said "But when we look to Dad, it's usually something that relates to power, business, or money."

第三节（25分）参考范文：
 To or not to university?
Some people say one should go to university while others say it is not necessary for everyone. What do I think?
I don’t think everyone should. With various kinds of jobs in the world, although some jobs require a high level of education, others are more suited to people with different talents. Some people choose to join a family business, many athletes prefer to concentrate on their sports careers and people with practical skills such as carpenters and builders often learn on the job rather than in a lecture hall. However, a good education is very valuable and university also helps teach people life skills as well as academic knowledge.
As to me, I want to go to university, because I want to experience university life and then go abroad for further study. I am working hard to make my dream come true. And I believe I can do it.
