Because the brains is only a kind of food, which is famous for its unusual name and rich nutrition（营养）.‎ Brains as food was invented more than 300 years ago by Fu Shan, an artist whose mother had been iii for a long time. To help her become well again, he studied medicine ‎ and invented a kind of soup made of meat, vegetables and a number of Chinese medicines.‎ Rice Wine（酒）was also used in the soup to help treat illnesses caused by old age. After taking the soup his mother got better little by little and lived a long life.‎ Fu's soup became the talk of the town, many people came to see him. One day a restaurant owner asked him what was in the soup. “I'll tell you,”Fu said.“but if your restaurant is going to sell the soup, you must call it brains because of its shape and colour.

Europe and America's robot explorers have found proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large amounts on the planet.‎ ‎28.Those who agree to turn Mars into a little earth ________．‎ A．‎ are short of confidence B．‎ will gain the support of NASA C．‎ realize their dream needs lots of time and money D．‎ are asking for advice on how to carry it out ‎29.The author took Paul Morin as an example to show he ________．‎ A．‎ is for the idea of exploring Mars B．‎ is active in saving the earth C．‎ is against the idea of turning Mars into a little earth D．‎ cares about environmental protection ‎30.Science fiction writers will attend the international conference to be held by NASA to ________．‎ A．‎ inspire their interests B．‎ set more details for them to write with C．‎ join in the discussion D．‎ collect money for Mars research programme ‎31.Turning Mars into a little earth ________．‎ A．‎ is no longer a topic of science fiction stories B．‎ is now under way C．‎ is a project whose possibility is being explored D．‎ is against human interests D I have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the choice very soon. Anyway, one can find advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.‎ The most important advantage is that it is the fastest way of transport when talking about longdistance travel. One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane. He can’t even make sure how time has passed and he has arrived. He does not have to wait three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车), which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired because he hasn’t slept more than three hours in the last three days.‎ Then, think about the conditions which are at our beck and call: we are served by a beautiful lady who will take care of us on the plane. It helps us forget about the possibility of some dangers.‎ Anyway, many people feel fearful when it comes to flying in a plane. They say that the risks （风险）of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.‎ Apart from this disadvantage, there are people who don’t choose to travel by plane because they feel sick and they think air fares are too high.‎ One piece of advice I would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing（坠落）. Just ‎ relax, be comfortable and everything will be all right.Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer total protection to all passengers.‎ ‎32．From the text, we can learn that ________.‎ A. the author usually travels by plane B. most people feel sick the first time they take a plane C. it’s a good choice to have long distance travel by plane D. there are often some accidents when people travel by plane ‎33．What does the underlined phrase in the third paragraph mean?‎ A. Ready to serve us at any time.   B. Far away from us.‎ C. Out of our control.            D. Necessary in our life.‎ ‎34．What is the author’s attitude towards plane travel?‎ A.She is in favour of it .‎ B. She is strongly against it.‎ C.She shows no concern about it .‎ D.She is doubtful about it .‎ ‎35．What’s the text mainly about?‎ A. How to avoid the disadvantages of traveling by plane.‎ B. The advantages and disadvantages of traveling by plane.‎ C. The special experience of traveling by plane.‎ D. Good advice on how to travel comfortably by plane.‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ How to keep fit?‎ If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following: 1.Move More Make it a daily to find ways to move your body._______36______Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator(电梯). Walk your dog; play with your kids. It ‎ doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute dance class. But that’s great when you’re up to it. At the same time, move more. 2.Give up Smoking Ever since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, we’ve seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence? _____37______Take care! Warn your children against smoking. __________38___________ While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney(肝肾) disease and cancer. 3.Reduce Stress（压力） Easier said than done, stress comes in many ways._____39_______Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like such as walk on the beach or in a park, read a good book, visit a friend, listen to relaxing music, and watch a funny movie. 4.Protect Yourself from Pollution If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms.______40_______Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good.‎ A．Avoid Excessive（过量的） Drinking ‎ B．There are many things you can do to move your arms and legs. ‎ C．Think carefully about what you will do. ‎ D．Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. ‎ E.
