A. The writer, our nation's most trusted resource for food-related issues, offers this indispensible guide for anyone concerned about health and food. Simple, sensible, and easy to use. The book is a set of memorable rules for eating wisely, many &-awn from a variety of ethnic or cultural traditions. Whether at the supermarket or an all-you-can-eat-buffet, this handy, pocket-size resource is the perfect guide for anyone who would like to become more mindful of the food we eat.
B. What follows in the book -- an Eater's Manifesto, is a series of wonderfully clear and thoughtful answers that help us omnivores (杂食动物) find the way the nutritional minefield has come to characterize our food culture. Pollan's call to action --"Eat food, Not too much. Mostly plants." -- is a program I actually want to follow.
C. The writer wants to tell us about "A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet" She, an actress, activist, and committed conservationist, explains how meat, fish, milk, and cheese -- the very foods we've been taught to regard as the cornerstone of good nutrition -- are actually the causes behind rising rates of disease and the cause of dire, potentially permanent 'damage to our ecology.
D. The book by Will M. Turtle suggests us eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony and tells connection both with the living natural order and with our living cultural heritage. So we as a species might move our consciousness forward so that we can be more free, more intelligent, more loving, and happier in the choices we make.
E. His new book takes up where the previous work left off. Examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of health, this powerfully argued, thoroughly researched and elegant manifesto cuts straight to the chase with a maxim that is deceptively simple: Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. But as Pollan explains, food in a country that is driven by a thirty-two billion-dollar marketing machine is both a loaded term and, in its purest sense, a holy grail.
F. Less is more, even in exercise! In her new book, the writer reveals her signature T-Tapp workout, and teaches you how to" use your body as a machine so you can lose inches quick, build bone density, and condition your heart, all with only 8 repetitions and no equipment;" Watch our exclusive video with' Teresa, featuring a quick demonstration that you can do at your desk!

The 16-year-old girl Jessica Watson is said to be the youngest person to sail non-stop alone around the world. But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old.
Ms Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. Many more Australians watched the event broadcast live on television. Watson said she was just an “ordinary girl who believed in her dream”.
Ms Watson left Sydney on 18 October, despite that some people disagreed her plan. Watson traveled northeast through the South Pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to Cape Horn at the tip of South America, across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and around southern Australia. The route took her through some of the world’s most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat.
People around the world have followed Ms Watson’s adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). On her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. Ms Watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. She is planning to write a book on her experience.
Which of the following oceans didn’t Ms Watson cross through in her voyage?
A. The Pacific Ocean B. The Atlantic Ocean
C. The Indian Ocean D. The Arctic Ocean.
Ms Watson’s voyage will NOT be considered an official world record mainly because ____.
A. no one can prove that her route was dangerous enough
B. she hasn’t applied for the record
C. girls are not allowed to take part in the dangerous sports
D. teenagers re not encouraged to take such a dangerous adventure
We can make a conclusion from this passage that Watson ____.
A. would make another voyage for money
B. made the world round voyage for money
C. had no way to communicate with others during the voyage.
D. is so confident and brave that she could overcome troubles on her own
All the following can be inferred from this passage EXCEPT that ____.
A. her book about her voyage is a best seller
B. people in Australia had much interest in her voyage
C. she spent more than 200 days alone at sea
D. people have different attitudes towards her voyage

When one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of our language has always been a history of constant change—at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Our language has always been a living growing organism, it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals or the kitchen pots and pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.
As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different devices for showing the relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon (old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order, there may be trouble for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or I. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The eighteenth century, for example, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write.
1．In contrast to the earlier linguists, at present, more and more attention is paid to_________.
A. the standardization of the language
B. language practices in terms of current speech rather than standards or proper patterns
C. the improvement of the language than its history
D. the rules of the language usage
2．From the study we know that language is ________.
A. a possession of upper class.
B. a possession of lower class.
C. a possession of the whole society.
D. the only property of those who treasure it much.
3．Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. It is generally believed that the year 1500 can be set as the beginning of the Modern English.
B. Some other languages had great influence on the English language in its development.
C. The English language has been and still in a state of relatively constant change.
D. Many classes or groups have contributed to the development of the English language.
4．The author of these paragraphs is probably a(an) _________.
A. writer specially interested in English
B. person who pays much attention to people of lower classs
C. teacher who teaches the English language
D. expert in studying languages
5．Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?
A. The history of the English language.
B. Our changing attitude towards the English language.
C. Our changing language.
D. Some characteristics of modern English.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a small farm and it was very difficult for us to know what was happening outside the small farm, especially in the winter when we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its own problems, too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basic needs like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from a disease that makes breathing very difficult and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside as I like, even in the summer. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you taste in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety (多样性) of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
56. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A. Staying on the farm.
B. Moving to the countryside.
C. Leaving home for the city.
D. Running away from the school.
57. What can we learn from the text?
A. The writer is very old now. B. The writer is in good health.
C. The write prefers driving a car. D. The writer lives in the city now.
58. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.
A. express his opinions about way of life
B. describe his life in the countryside
C. show an interest in the outside world
D. persuade the reader to live in the city
59. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By questioning. B. By comparing.
C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.
