阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Most students try to learn English grammar using grammar textbooks. They study grammar rules and take grammar tests. They use an analytical approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules.
However, research has proved this method inefficient and ineffective. The truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember, process, and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. Real speech is too fast.
Native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (凭直觉地) and unconsciously. They learn in a complete way, not by attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. As a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily.
Fortunately, it is possible for English learners to learn grammar this way. Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique "intuitive" approach to teach English grammar. Her system uses "point of view" stories to teach the patterns of English grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules.
In this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. It may be told about the past, then repeated, but beginning with "since he was a child"; then repeated again, but this time about the future.
Listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn English grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak.
Point of View Stories is a creative new way to study English grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated English learners.
56. Which of the following ways is approved by the author?
A. Remembering grammar rules. B. Taking grammar tests.
C. Analyzing grammatical structure. D. Applying language to situations.
57. What does the underlined part "this way" in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. Talking to native speakers when learning.
B. Learning English grammar in a complete way.
C. Using correct English grammar.
D. Learning English grammar 4from a teacher.
58. From this passage we learn that ______.
A. native speakers learn English grammar by listening to stories
B. Blaine Ray’s method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciously
C. Blaine Ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell stories
D. it’s hard for students to speak correct English in the new system
59. This passage wants to ______.
A. criticize the traditional way of learning grammar
B. introduce a new way to study English grammar
C. ask students to learn English grammar by listening to stories
D. tell us how the native speakers learn English grammar
B
Mary Henrietta Kingsley (1862-1900) was a British explorer and writer who greatly influenced European ideas about Africa and its people. She was born in Islington, London, and her father was a doctor.
The family moved to Cambridge in 1886, during which time her father prepared his plentiful collection of notes and translations for publication. However, it came to a sudden end with his death in February 1892. Her mother followed just six weeks later. After her parents’ death, Kingsley decided to travel to Africa to continue her father’s study of early religion and law and learn as much as possible about the nature of travel and exploration in the wild of Africa.
Since 1894, Kingsley had taken two trips to the west coast of Africa. She reached parts of the "Great Forest" not yet seen by a European. She collected insect, shell, plant, reptile for the British Museum, as well as studying the culture and religion of the residents. In July 1895, Kingsley turned her attention downriver from Lambaréné. Shortly after reaching Lake Ncovi, Kingsley had her first encounter with the almost legendary African creature, the gorilla (大猩猩).Kingsley summed up her feelings for the gorilla in her book Travels in West Africa, "I have seen many wild animals in their native habitat, but never have I seen anything equal gorillas going through the bush; it is a graceful, powerful, perfect hand-trapeze performance." Curiously though, Kingsley did not find the gorilla attractive, "I have no hesitation in saying that the gorilla is the most horrible wild animal I have seen. I have seen specimens of the most important big game of Central Africa and I have run away from all of them; but although elephants, leopards and pythons (巨蟒) give you a feeling of alarm, they do not give that feeling of horrible disgust that an old gorilla gives on account of its ugly appearance."
60. Kingsley decided to travel to Africa because she _____.
A. loved traveling and exploring new places
B. enjoyed the African nature and culture
C. wanted to complete her father’s study and learn more
D. lived a hard life in Europe after her parents’ death
61. What did the author mention about Kingsley’s family?
A. Kingsley’s parents died when she was a child.
B. They moved from place to place when Kingsley was young.
C. What Kingsley’s father did had a great influence on her.
D. Kingsley’s parents were famous doctors.
62. In her Travels in West Africa, Kingsley thought the gorilla was_________.
A. powerful B. alarming C. attractive D. Horrible
63. We can infer from the passage that____________.
A. Africa is an awful place for people to explore and travel to
B. Kingsley reached parts of the "Great Forest" before other Europeans
C. Kingsley got her first knowledge of Africa from her father
D. Kingsley set a good example to all European people
C
Dining al fresco (户外就餐), better known as "eating out in the fresh air," has been a standard operating procedure on much of the planet since the days when al fresco was the only atmosphere available. In more recent centuries, of course, Europeans have developed al fresco dining into an art form with their oh-so-chic (别致的) sidewalk cafes.
Fortunately, this pleasant practice is at last very popular in America, and we’ve finally discovered the joys of outdoor dining. We’ve found it fun to just have a bite or a meal in the sun-or-star shine. And we needn’t travel to France —or to a restaurant —to enjoy the experience. Whether it’s a cup of morning coffee and bread in the yard, lunch around the pool or a candlelight dinner on a card table set up outside, most of us have the means to enjoy open-air dining.
The goal of al fresco is pleasure for everyone concerned and that includes the "chef." For this reason, the menu needs to be a simple and easily moveable feast. Without keeping one running in and out of the house a million times, a one-dish meal is the best possible choice. Pretty paper tablecloths and plates are a good choice as well, making cleaning as relaxing as your surroundings. So don’t hurry unless there’s a super-special reason.
Now let’s begin the outdoor dining in the fragrance of the day or evening, which strengthens the senses and the spirit to have dinner in our natural habitat. If we haven’t made it simple enough for you, try this: a blanket, a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine.
64. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the popularity of dining al fresco in America B. dining in the open air
C. the goals of al fresco D. the meaning of al fresco
65. From the passage, we can learn that al fresco ______.
A. is in fact a kind of art form
B. is popular in Europe and America
C. consists of a blanket, some bread and a bottle of wine
D. creates a romantic atmosphere to have dinner
66. The main purpose of al fresco is to ______.
A. make a standard and popular dining procedure for everyone
B. get people to enjoy themselves in a natural environment
C. enjoy the experience of dining outside without going to France
D. please a chef for a whole day of work
67. To have an "dining al fresco", one may have to _____.
a. have a simple and movable menu b. keep running in and out of the house to prepare
c. prepare a paper tablecloth and plates d. prepare a one-dish meal
A. abc B. Bcd C. abd D. acd
D
Heavier people contribute more harmful gases to the planet than thin people because of food production and transportation factors, a study shows.
Providing that it takes more energy to carry heavier people, transportation of heavier people requires more fuel, which creates more greenhouse gas emissions(排放). Phil Edwards, a senior lecturer of the school, said, "The main message is staying thin. It’s good for not only you but the planet."
More than 1 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and about 300 million are obese, the study said. People are less active now than they were 30 years ago, and the popularity of fast food has given people more less healthy choices.
"In terms of environmental impact, the thin population has a much smaller carbon footprint," Edwards said. A population with 40 percent overweight people requires 19 percent more food energy than a population with 3.5 percent fat people. This 19 percent increase in food use translates into an increase of 270 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
The findings make sense and point out the important global benefits of losing weight, along with the personal health benefits. The study suggests that governments have a responsibility to encourage people to be more physically active. Active transportation, such as cycling and walking, helps maintain a healthy weight but requires safe streets. If the government wants to encourage active transport, it needs to make the environment safe to do so.
Although climate change has become a major world problem recently, this is not the first time scholars have thought about the connection between fossil fuel and body weight. Measures to control obesity include making healthier meals, putting nutritional information on food packages and menus and so on.
68. According to Phil Edwards, staying thin ________.
A. contributes most to lower the cost of fuel
B. is highly recommended to protect the environment
C. is the best choice for people to protect the environment
D. has more advantages to the environment than to individuals
69. The underlined part "the thin population has a much smaller carbon footprint" in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.
A. few people leave small marks on the carbon emission list
B. few people have light footprints which cause environmental pollution
C. thin people release smaller amounts of greenhouse gas
D. thin people have no impact on the environment while walking
70. Which of the following is NOT a way to reduce green-house gases?
A. Doing physical activities. B. Eating healthier foods.
C. Taking active transportation. D. Building safe streets.
71. From the passage we learn that ______.
A. it is a new idea to connect body weight to global benefits
B. 40 percent fat people emit 270 million tons of green-house gas every year
C. climate change is a major challenge that the world is facing
D. the government needs to take immediate action about active transport
E
This is my little spot to introduce myself. I am a wife and mother and grandmother. Over the last few years I have developed the site Women folk: Of Creativity, Inspiration and Quilting as well as this site.
I came to quilting(缝被子)late. Although I sewed clothing for my young family, once I started teaching full time my sewing years came to an end. How I envied my quilting friends and longed for the days when I could quilt too. In the fall of 1996 I retired from teaching and took a quilt workshop on making a little wall hanging(墙帷). My dream of quilting came true at last！That winter I took an eight-week class on making a sampler quilt. It was quite demanding but what a joy it was for me to go home each week with 2 or 3 new blocks to make. I loved the planning of a quilt; it sparked my creativity. When I sat working at my machine I found it a relaxing time for thinking. So far I have made over two dozen quilts and wall hangings and I’m still quilting. You will find pictures of them at my website Comfort of Quilts.
My love of making quilts gave birth to another project. I became curious about the history of quilting and started to search the Internet for information. At that time online information was quite limited so I began collecting books on quilt history. Soon I realized there was a lot more about the history of quilting than patterns and techniques. My studies opened up a fascinating world of how these quilters lived. I discovered that life was fragile(脆弱的)when children could easily die of diseases, husbands were killed in war and women didn’t always survive childbirth. I learned of these women’s hope and dreams, their friendships, and their sense of achievements with the quilts they made.
To share my new knowledge I’ve built three other websites, America’s Quilting History, Quilt Patterns From History and Patches From the Past. I also have a blog on everyday life in history at the Usual Days.
72. How many websites has the author mentioned in total?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
73. The author started to quilt late because ____.
A. she had a big family to support B. she knew little about it earlier
C. she was busy with her work D. she didn’t find the right website
74. Through the history of quilting the author has learned that ____.
A. many women want to learn quilting
B. there’s much more knowledge about quilting than a technique
C. the history of her country has close relation to quilting
D. many of the quilters are women whose husbands or children have died
75. The author writes this passage mainly to ____.
A. introduce quilting techniques to learners
B. share her experience and gladness of success in her interest
C. tell readers how people should spend their spare time
D. encourage people to work hard to create their own business

Celebrating sleep
World Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.
In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed (诊断)with insomnia（失眠）and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
Overall, the survey found that ninny people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey’s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of putting on weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

Dear Sir,
Yesterday afternoon, we had a discussion on the question: “Would you go shopping with your friend at his request while you are going over your lessons?”
My classmates Li Lei and Tom had different viewpoints. Li Lei thought that he couldn’t refuse his friend’s request even though his studies would be affected. But Tom didn’t think so. He said he wouldn’t meet all requests from his friends. Studying was more impotant than shopping.
In my opinion, either Li Lei or Tom is right to some extent. We may meet our friends’ request, but that depends. If we have difficulties, we should let them know.
Yours,
Li Hua
