In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor's orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank, I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, "Speed up!" "Slow down!" "Turning left!" I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界）     61      a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side     62    (effect) such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required     63    (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt      64     (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As    65   result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even      66    (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food     67    (be) full of fat and salt; by    68   (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be     69    (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both,     70   is not good for the health.

While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life,college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better:I discovered ASL-American Sign Language(美式手语).

I never felt an urge to 43 any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The 44   languages were enough in all my interactions(交往).Little did I know that I would discover my 45    for ASL.

The 46   began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club    47   their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very 48   of communicating without speaking 49 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50   .This newness just left me    51   more.

After that, feeling the need to 52 further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club`s meetings. I only learned how to 53 the alphabet that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my 54 progress,I was excited. I then made it a point to 55 those meetings and learn all I could.

    The following term, I 56 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 57   . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 58   , if there had been any talking, it would have 59 us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 60 way of communication it opens.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36   

The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.

   37We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.

38   Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

A．	This time there was no tent.
B．	Things are going to be improved.
C．	The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D．	I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E．	I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F．	After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G．	There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

A build-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it's an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it's all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇ 5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container- perhaps just a drinking cup - to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.

To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher'sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up - and out - the side of the hole.

Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.

The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won't have to break down the still every time you need a drink.

32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?

A．	It's delicate.	B．	It's expensive.
C．	It's complex.	D．	It's portable.

33. What does the underlined phrase "the water catcher" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．	The tube.	B．	The still.
C．	The hole.	D．	The cup.

34. What's the last step of constructing a working solar still?

A．	Dig a hole of a certain size.	B．	Put the cup in place.
C．	Weight the sheet's center down.	D．	Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.

35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form          .

A．	the plastic tube	B．	outside the hole
C．	the open air	D．	beneath the sheet

Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.

Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.

It's Jason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.

"Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite," Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It's actually color, and it's actually digital."

Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. "The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same," says Moran.

Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party, "Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music," says Moran. "For me, it's the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context," says Moran, "so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster."

28．Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?

A．	To remember the birth of jazz.
B．	To protect cultural diversity.
C．	To encourage people to study music.
D．	To recognize the value of jazz.

29．What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．	Jazz becoming more accessible.
B．	The production of jazz growing faster.
C．	Jazz being less popular with the young.
D．	The jazz audience becoming larger.

30．What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz?

A．	It will disappear gradually.
B．	It remains black and white.
C．	It should keep up with the times.
D．	It changes every 50 years.

31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．	Exploring the Future of Jazz.
B．	The Rise and Fall of Jazz.
C．	The Story of a Jazz Musician.
D．	Celebrating the Jazz Day.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.

I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.

I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.

The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.

Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.

A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all - LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

24. What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1?

A．	Efforts made in vain.
B．	Getting injured in his work.
C．	Feeling uncertain about his future.
D．	Creatures forced out of their homes.

25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?

A．	To rescue a woman.
B．	To take care of a woman.
C．	To look at a baby owl.
D．	To cure a young owl.

26. What made the chick calm down?

A．	A new nest.
B．	Some food.
C．	A recording.
D．	Its parents.

27. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?

A．	It's unexpected.
B．	It's beautiful.
C．	It's humorous.
D．	It's discouraging.

The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me . They were also the best and worse years in my life . At the first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by yourself. However, my parents didn ^'t seem to think such. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time , I even felt my parents couldn't understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them. I showed them I was independent by wear strange clothes. Now I am leaving home to college. At last, I will be on my own, but I still want to have my parents to turn to whenever need help.

In much of Asia,especially the so-called＂rice bowl＂ cultures of China,Japan,Korea, 41Vietnam,food is usually eaten with chopsticks.

Chopsticks are usually two long,thin pieces of wood or bamboo.They can also be made of plastic,animal bone or metal.Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic.Truly elegant chopsticks might 42 (make)of gold and silver with Chinese characters.Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal 43 (create)special designs.

The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years.People probably cooked their f ood in large pots,    44 (use)twigs( 树枝 )to remove it.Over time, 45 thepopulation grew,people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.

Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which 46(gradual)turned into chopsticks.

Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, 47 lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C.,influenced the 48 (develop)of chopsticks.Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and 49 (be)too violent for use at the table.

Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.In India,for example,most people traditionally eat 50their hands.

When I was13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant 21 Miller King,who was the best 22 at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out.I carried my football everywhere for    2 3 .

Just before September,Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm.I went to see him after he came back from 24 .He looked very    25 ,but he didn ^'t cry.

That season,I 26 all of Miller`srecords while he 27the home games from the bench.We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 28 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller's 29 .

One afternoon,I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 30 going over a fence-which wasn't 31 to climb if you had both arms.I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept 32 from.But even that cha l lenge he accepted.I 33 him move slowly over the fence.When we were finally 34 on the other side,he said to me, ＂ You know,I didn't tell you this during the season,but you did 35 .Thank you for filling in for 36 . ＂

His words freed me from my bad 37.I thought to myself,how even without an arm he was more of a leader.Damaged but not defeated,he was 38ahead of me. I was right to have 39him.From that day on，I grew 40and a little more real.

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. 17 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.

   18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.

There are many common methods used to cook fish. 20First, lean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.

A．	Do not buy it.
B．	The easiest is to steam it.
C．	This is how you can do it.
D．	It just requires a little knowledge.
E．	The fish will go bad within hours.
F．	When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G．	The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people's e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

"The 'if it bleeds' rule works for mass media," says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. "They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer."

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication-e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations-found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the "most e-mailed" list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, "Contagious: Why Things Catch On."

12 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A．	News reports.	B．	Research papers.
C．	Private e-mails.	D．	Daily conversations．

13.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A．	They're socially inactive.
B．	They're good at telling stories.
C．	They're inconsiderate of others.
D．	They're careful with their words.

14.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger's research?

A．	A . Sports new.	B．	Science articles.
C．	Personal accounts.	D．	Financial reviews.

15 .What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．	Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B．	B .Online News Attracts More People
C．	Reading Habits Change with the Times
D．	Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
