A
I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard. I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister, mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door, I realized my elder sister hadn’t e out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us, along with many others, were running on the staircase. We lived on the seventh floor, so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dad’s head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor, the building split into two. We had no way to get down.
The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the stairs and none could react. Five minutes later, someone opened the door of the sixth-floor flat. We all went in. We were wondering how we would get down. From the balcony (阳台) of the sixth-floor flat, I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying.
Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours, we all got down.
That day we saw the power of nature. It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.

B
Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060. Let's make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon. Every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. Maybe they will some day. But many foods now are in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated (灌溉) with water. Crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians (素食主义者). You see, as the number of people increased, the number of animals decreased. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds, too, and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain, and it is possible to get rid of disease. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
55. What are the hotels on the moon used for in 2060?
A. Scientific experiments. B. People who have no houses.
C. Holiday people. D. Astronauts.
56. About life in 2060, which of the following is WRONG?
A. In the story, the population of the world has increased.
B. A great number of people work on the farm.
C. Voyages to the moon are being made every day.
D. The food is mainly from green plants.
57. According to the passage, why are people largely vegetarians?
A. Because most people like vegetables better.
B. Because there are no animals at all.
C. Because people think meat is unhealthy.
D. Because the number of people increased and the number of animals decreased.
58. According to the passage, what about the people's health in 2060?
A. Because the people have to be vegetarians, they are very thin.
B. The doctors don't know how to treat the diseases and pain.
C. The people have no illness.
D. The people are less healthier in our bodies than in our minds.
【考点】科学幻想类文章。
【文章大意】文章幻想到2060年时，到月球的旅行已日常化了；人们的食物变成药丸的形式；地球表面被充分利用，植物收成很好；农业得到很大发展；人们大多成为素食主义者，并且不再生病。

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne（王位）, which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork） and beouf（beef） came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language kept the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon．
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.
According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.
In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender（性别）, so adjectives（形容词） take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French!
59. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because_____.
A. too many French moved to Britain B. French brought animals with them
C. the king and his officials spoke French D. the king allowed French to be spoken
60. Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?
A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations．
B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar．
C. Because a large number of English words have French origins．
D. Because English has great influences on the French language．
61. French grammar is quite different from English grammar because ______.
A. no words have the same pronunciation
B. all words have the same pronunciation
C. English nouns have a male or female gender
D. French nouns have different adjective forms
62. What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A. Language is closely related to history and culture.
B. French and English words have nothing in common.
C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.
D. English combines French and the Native Anglo-Saxon.

I always wanted to fly a plane, but back to 1930s, it was almost impossible for a woman to do that. I tried it in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience was very boring. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay, I wrote about my wish to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at the age of 80. Why not me? 1 was just 84 and in good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn't believe it. Encouraged by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
On June 11, 2010, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn't frightened -- I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to jump out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, "What have I gotten myself into?" But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt -- much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there's something you want to experience, look into it. If it's something that is possible, make it happen.
63. What should be the best title of the passage?
A. Flying High in the Sky B. A Ride in a Hot Air Balloon
C. I Went Skydiving at 84! D. Everyone, Go Skydiving!
64. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to __________.
A. build up her own fame B. compare their health condition
C. make her argument persuasive D. show her admiration for him
65. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?
A. Scared. B. Regretful. C. Surprised. D. Excited.
66. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?
A. The beautiful clouds. B. Staying together with Jay.
C. The wonderful view. D. The one-minute free fall

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.
“Facts suggest that exercise improves the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness; encourages relaxation or sleep; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.
In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation. “The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo（舒缓的节拍）and positive results in earlier research. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system (神经系统) and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,” Emery said.
Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 2000, psychologists were using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
67.The underlined word enhance can be replaced by ______.
A. impress B. improve C. provide D. produce
68. The text mainly tells us that _____.
A. music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep
B. 33 volunteers work on music in medical fields
C. exercising to music makes people healthy and bright
D. scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise to
69. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ______.
A. you are supposed to follow your parents’ words
B. students should not listen to music before exams
C. you have some good reasons to exercise to music
D. music might help you to get higher grades in tests
70. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Exercise seems to cause negative changes without music.
B. Exercise reminds people with head hurts of what they’ve learned.
C. Scientists often use Mozart’s music, for it is not too exciting.
D. “The Four Seasons” is used to help children with speech disorders.

【翻译】“事实表明，锻炼身体可提高有心脏疾病的人的学习能力，”心理学家Charles Emery说，是他领导了这项研究。“并且听音乐被认为能增强理解力。我们只是想把这两个结果结合在一起。”他补充到。
【分析】suggest 后面的that引导宾语从句，此时suggest意为“表明”，后面不用虚拟语气；said sb.是常见的倒装结构；who引导非限制性定语从句。listening to music是动名词做主语。

【考点】提纲作文----社会问题式议论文。
【写作指导】
本次写作任务是给英文报刊写封信，谈谈食品安全问题，属于议论文写作。
本篇作文主要分三个部分：造成食品安全问题的原因；它的危害；个人看法并呼吁社会关注。其中前面两个部分可以放在一起。
先解决前面两部分。可以先把核心的部分翻译出来，得到一个基本框架，然后再进行加工。降低成本：reduce the cost of production；追求利润：make profits；缺乏足够的安全措施，也就是没有采取足够的安全措施：don’t take enough safety measures；接着连词成句：Some food companies don’t take enough safety measures to guarantee the food quality. They are able to reduce the cost of production and make more profits. 流入市场: flow into the market；产生极大危害：do great harm to；接着连词成句：poisonous food flows into the market, doing a lot of harm to consumers’ health.
再解决最后一部分。一般个人对食品安全有哪些看法呢？食品对人类来说是最基本的；没有食品人就无法生存；如果我们不注意食品安全，我们的健康都将受到危害，等等。接着，呼吁全社会都行动起来，来结束这种现状，这样我们才能过上健康的生活。关键词有fundamental； take no notice of ；take action ；put an end to； Only in this way can we ….
最后，通过添加一些连接成分，让行文更流畅；合理扩充内容，满足文章的字数要求。
【一句多译】
1．缺乏足够的安全措施
do not take enough safety action to
do not take enough safety measures to
do not take enough safety steps to
2．对公众健康产生极大危害
do great harm to public health
be very harmful to public health
cause great damage to public health
One possible version:
Dear editor,
I’m writing to talk about the problems of food safety nowadays. Some food companies don’t take enough safety measures to guarantee the food quality. In this way, they are able to reduce the cost of production and make more profits, because of which more and more food are of low quality. What’s worse, poisonous food flows into the market, doing a lot of harm to consumers’ health. Many people even lose their lives.
As far as I am concerned, food is fundamental to human beings. We can not live without proper food. If we take no notice of food safety, the health of the whole nation will suffer. So I call on the whole society to take action and put an end to such kind of food. Only in this way can we live a much healthier life.

Hello, this is your headmaster, Mr. Drummond, speaking. Due to a fire in the kitchen of our school cafeteria last Friday, we won’t be able to serve students food for the next two weeks. I’m sorry for the trouble this may cause, but we’ll need the time to repair the damage caused by the fire, and to replace all of the cooking equipment. However, in the meantime, all students may go to the diner on Willow Street called Alice’s Diner where you will receive a 45 percent discount if you show your student card. You will also receive a 35 percent discount at the Chinese restaurant on Webber Street and a 30 percent discount at the Italian restaurant on Hook Street, but only for the next two weeks. In other news, our Grade 1 girls basketball team will play this Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. against Miller Osborne high school at our school sports hall, and our Grade 2 boys team will play Barnaby high school afterwards at 7:00 p.m. Our Grade 2 girls basketball team will play Edwards high school on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. I hope you can all make it out and make lots of noise for our teams.
