参考词汇:food safety;producer
Dear sir,
I am writing to say  something about food safety,which has caused great concern among the public.
There are some reasons for this problem.Firstly,some of the food producers just care about making money,ignoring its damage to people's health.(高分句型一)Secondly,we fail to recognize the importance of moral education.Thirdly,the lack of adequate laws on those illegal producers enforces the trend.
Safety measures should be taken to deal with the problem.On the one hand,more strict laws should be made to punish the illegal producers and the sellers who break the law.(高分句型二)On the other hand,consumers should avoid buying unsafe food.What's more,the government should strengthen management over the food quality.(高分句型三)
In a word,if everyone can make a difference,I firmly believe this problem will be solved in the near future.
Yours
Li Hua.

3.Long ago,poems were recited out loud instead of being written down.Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics,they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
    Now,poetry competitions have been revived.This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest,performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prizes.
    The first competitions were held in classrooms.The winners went on to schoolwide contests,and then they competed in city and state competitions,and then the 50 state champions,along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington,D.C.,last week for the last showdown(对决).After the 51 champions competed against one another,12 went on to the finals.Then the field was narrowed to five.The final five had one last chance to"perform"a poem.The overall champ,Jackson Hille,a high school senior from Ohio,won a $20,000 scholarship.
    The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on the page.
    It's not just a matter of saying the words in the right order.It's the tone of voice,the pauses,the gestures,and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life."Each time we hear somebody recite a poem,we  understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it,"says National Public Radio broadcaster Scott Simon,master of ceremonies for the finals.Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.
    Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience,memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants understand those poems in a new way.Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them for life.

41.From the first paragraph,we can knowC.
A.the Greeks were the first to write poems
B.the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
C.poems were spread orally in the past
D.athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
42.How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington,D.C.?
B
A.Three.  B.Four       C.Five.    D.Six.
43.According to the passage,hearing a poem recited in a new canD.
A.bring a new life to listeners
B.help listeners find their interest
C.make listeners learn the words
D.offer something new to listeners
44.One benefit the participants get from a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that they canA.
A.become confident while speaking in public
B.write good poems themselves
C.change their attitudes towards life
D.make friends with many great poets
45.What's the best title for the passage?C
A.Reciting poems improves your memory.
B.Remembering a lot of poems is fun.
C.Poetry rocks the microphone.
D.Poets have a great time.

8.I was diagnosed with allergies (过敏反应) when I was a little kid.Other than family,no one truly knows I have allergies,although I have to tell people it's allergies when my eyes start to tear up.(31)A Sometimes my friends just tease in a friendly way.
(32)DI look like a normal kid.I don't mind telling people about my allergies-after all,it's normal to have them.Having allergies hasn't affected my self-confidence.
(33)GFor example,I am a big traveler and I would enjoy going to see the cherry blossoms in Washington,D.C.But when I come anywhere within a 10-foot range of cherry blossoms it feels like I lose almost all my senses!Even though it's only temporary,I still feel miserable.
My allergies haven't stopped me from traveling when I can,though.My class trip was to Williamsburg in Virginia.At first it was supposed to be during cherry blossom time,and that had me worried.(34)EI've had to rethink some of my dreams,too.Since I'm allergic to animals with fur,I may need to adjust my hopes of being a veterinarian (兽医) or working in an agricultural-science department.(35)FNow I have learned to deal with my allergies and even see the good side sometimes.Having allergies has taught me not to be prejudiced about people's health conditions.

A.I do get made fun of.
B.My allergies have been getting better.
C.If I don't take my medicine I can get really bad breath.
D.You can't tell by looking at me that I have a health condition.
E.Fortunately,it was changed to February,so I went and had the best time!
F.But I'm interested in so many things and there are plenty of other careers out there!
G.Sure,my allergies have held me back from doing some of the things that I love to do.

9.I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again.There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men.I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting.What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe,the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19,when I began studying astrophysics,it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom.But while earning my Ph.D.at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research,the issue started to bother me.My every achievement-jobs,research papers,awards-was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics.So were my failures.Sometimes,when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain,or nature versus nurture (培育),I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago,out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(刺激):I don't talk about that anymore.It took me 10years to get back the confidence I had at 19and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues.Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist After all,I don't study sociology or political theory.
I research and teach at Barnard,a women's college in New York City.Recently,someone asked me how many of the 45students in my class were women.You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer,45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children.And I don't dismiss those concerns.Still,I don't tell them"war"stories.Instead,I have given them this:the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments.And in turn they have given me the image of 45women driven by a love of science.And that's a sight worth talking about.
27.Why doesn't the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?C
A.She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B.She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
C.She is fed up with the issue of gender prejudice.
D.She finds space research more important.
28.From Paragraph 2,we can infer that people would say the author's failures were due toD.
A.the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
B.her involvement in gender politics
C.her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D.the very fact that she is a woman
29.What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D.and post-doctoral research?B
A.Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B.People's stereotyped (模式化的) attitude toward female scientists.
C.Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
D.Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.
30.What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?A
A.Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
B.Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
C.Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation.
D.Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.
