Although dieters may really show weight loss from a fad diet, they will almost certainly get back the weight if their usual eating habits (习惯) remain unchanged. Moreover, fad diets continuously call for special products of questionable value or for “health foods” that may cost twice as much as supermarket(超市) foods. Worse yet, certain fad diets don't include nutrients(营养)good for health. People have been known to become very ill as a result of following medically unhealthy diets.‎ ‎    The worse fact of fad diets, though, is that they keep people who are over-weight or sick from receiving the medical care that they truly need.‎ ‎41. The word “fad” in the first sentence means ______.‎ A. newB. wonderfulC. popular quicklyD. loved by people ‎42. From the text we know that ______.‎ A. people refuse to accept fad diets ‎ B. fad diets can help people to lose weight C. a man can lose weight after eating a fad diet ‎ D. fad diets are now welcomed by people ‎43. In the writer's opinion, fad diets______.‎ A. are very helpful     B. are not healthy diet  ‎ C. won't cost much    D. include lots of nutrients ‎44. A fad dieter has to ______.‎ A. spend more money   B. lose much weight ‎ C. keep his usual eating habits  D. go to doctors very often ‎45. The last paragraph tells us ______.‎ A. that fad dieters are often overweight ‎ B. fad dieters need medical care if they are overweight or sick C. how fad dieters get sick    ‎ D. overweight or sick fad dieter can’t get medical care in time B In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.‎ I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the ‎ development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. ‎ However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.‎ ‎46. What does this passage mainly talk about? ‎ A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.‎ B. Opinions about competition are different among people.‎ C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.‎ D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.‎ ‎47. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage? ‎ A. It pushes society forward.‎ B. It builds up a sense of duty. ‎ C. It improves personal abilities.‎ D. It encourages individual efforts. ‎ ‎48. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .‎ A. those who try their best to win ‎ B. those who value competition most highly ‎ C. those who are against competition most strongly ‎ D. those who rely on others most for success ‎49. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”? ‎ A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others. ‎ B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts. ‎ C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills. ‎ D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.‎ ‎50. Which point of view may the author agree to? ‎ A. Every effort should be paid back.‎ B. Competition should be encouraged.‎ C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.‎ D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.‎ C If there is something that appears most frequently on Chinese dining tables, it is doufu—beancurd. Beancurd looks like soft cakes and it’s made from dried soybeans. Beancurd used to be considered a favourite of the poor because of its low cost. Beans have high yields (产量) every year with their short growing period and suitability for various (各种各样) soil both dry and wet.‎ Historical records show beancurd was invented by Liu An, Prince of Huainan and uncle of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty（206BC—220AD）. He had a dream of finding the pill for longevity (长寿). He traveled all over the country and found soybeans, which looked much the same as gold in terms of colour. He collected soybeans, put them in the water and crushed them into pulp (浆). It got solidified and became known as doufu. Although it’s not able to keep longevity, it’s really good for one’s health with high protein and low fat.‎ With a long history, beancurd is rooted deep in Chinese culture. People eat more meat and fish than beancurd. But they are encouraged to have beancurd every once in a while for it’s really good for health. Most Chinese people still keep beancurd as one of their favourite dishes.‎ ‎51. Why was beancurd considered to be liked by the poor?‎ ‎ A. It’s easy to make. B. It’s easy to cook ‎ C. It’s cheap. D. It’s good for health.‎ ‎52. Where can beans grow well?‎ ‎ A. Only in wet soil. B. In dry soil. C. In soft soil .D. In any soil.‎ ‎53. What appears more often on the dining table in poor areas?‎ ‎ A. Meat. B. Fish. C. Eggs. D. Beancurd.‎ ‎54. Why did Liu An travel all over the country?‎ ‎ A. He had a dream.‎ ‎ B. He wanted to find something that could make people live longer.‎ ‎ C. He wanted to invent beancurd.‎ ‎ D. He wanted to find gold.‎ ‎55. How long has beancurd been invented?‎ ‎ A. It’s about 1 700 years. B. It’s less than 2 000 years.‎ ‎ C. It’s 500 years. D. It’s more than 2 000 years.‎ D ‎ As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.‎ ‎ Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, ‎ and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.‎ ‎ One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.‎ ‎　　Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.‎ ‎　　Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”‎ ‎56．The passage tells us that .‎ ‎ A．people seldom work long hours to make money ‎ B．people hardly buy more things than necessary ‎ C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place ‎ D．people realize there is more to life than just making money ‎57．When Daniel was a reporter he ___.‎ A．lived in central London B．disliked his job C．missed his children D．was well paid ‎58．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.‎ A．was easy to organize B．has improved family life C．was extremely expensive D．has been a total success ‎59．What does the author mean by saying“the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ?‎ ‎ A．People work long hours to earn their living.‎ ‎ B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.‎ ‎ C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.‎ ‎ D．People spent too much time and money eating meals.‎ ‎60．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _____.‎ A．repairing your car by yourself B．spending money carefully C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week 四、短语翻译（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）‎ ‎61、涌上心头 62、（偶然）遇见，碰见 ‎63、导致，造成 64、 提前 ‎65、直到现在 66、 总的来说，通常 ‎67、丢脸 68、 活跃起来 ‎69、难怪 70、 讲得通；有意义 五、单句改错（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）, 并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ ‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。‎ ‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ ‎71.
