10.If you are planning on traveling,there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all,always check and double-check departure (出发) time.It is surprising how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at he airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport,the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore,I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡),it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金).Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars,I offered to pay in pounds instead."Listen!I only take real money!"the driver said angrily.You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination(目的地) before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May,when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester,to places like Athens,Rome of Madrid,where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

49.Where is the writer most probably from?A
A.Britain    B.The USA   C.Italy    D.Greece
50.Why did the writer miss his plane?C
A.His secretary made a mistake about the time.
B.The person at the departure desk was not very helpful.
C.The writer didn't check the time carefully.
D.The plane left earlier than usual.
51.When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver,heB
A.asked the driver to give him a free ride
B.offered to pay in pounds
C.gave the driver some fake(假的) money
D.tried to pay by credit card
52.Generally,in May the weather in London isD.
A.warm and dry     B.cold and dry
C.hot and wet      D.cool and rainy.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了计划旅行时的一些规则,熟知这些规则可以使我们的旅行变得更容易.

解答 49.A      推理判断题.根据文章最后两段when itis still fairly cool in London or Manchester,to places like Athens,Rome ofMadrid,where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.说明作者最可能是英国人,因为他说子啊伦敦很冷,在马德里,罗马的天气已经很暖和,说明他是从伦敦出发.故A正确.
50.C   细节理解题,根据第二段First of all,always check and double-check departure (出发) time;My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport,the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed可知作者错过了他的航班是因为他没有仔细检查自己的登记时间,故选C.
51.B   细节理解题.根据文章第三段Theonly way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars,I offeredto pay in pounds instead.说明作者没有美元.因此用英镑来付车费,故B正确.
52.D  推理判断题.根据最后一段I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suitsand raincoats in May,说明在三月份伦敦仍然很冷很潮湿,因为工人们还穿着厚后的西服和雨衣.故D正确.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

4.Five steps to better handwriting
Some kids love handwriting,but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper.Maybe they are worried about their handwriting.Are you one of them?(36)D  Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this-hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name.Pretty hard?But when you hold your pencil the correct way,writing is much easier.(37)E Hold it in place with your thumb,and your index (食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend!Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡).(38)A Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely.Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read,try slowing down a little.If you rush,it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure (压力)
(39)CThat makes it harder to make the smooth lines.Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
(40)F
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures.So even though it's not schoolwork,you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.

A.So"a"should be half the height of a capital"A".
B.You've been writing since you were a little kid.
C.Some kids press down really hard when they write.
D.The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
E.The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.
F.Play games
G.Ask for more advice.

18.Murder is totally unfair.The victims(牺牲者)of murder are gone forever.They will never enjoy the pleasures in life.But the murderer is still alive.Without the death sentence,murderers can participate in life.
Most killers would rather spend their lives in prison than die.It is natural that they want to live.In prison there are many small pleasures:the feeling of warm sunshine,the taste of a hot meal and the comfort of sleep.The lifestyle in prison is not always arduous; many prisoners have the chance to continue their education,to play sports,and to receive visits from their loved ones.
There is no reason why a killer should be allowed to live.Justice(公正)requires that each person respect the rights and freedoms of every other person,or be punished for not doing so.The murderers give up their rights to citizenship and to life itself.Also,keeping the killer in prison will cost taxpayers a lot of money.For these reasons,the only fair punishment is execution-to put the murderers to death.
The other side of this debate is that there are times when murder is committed not because of cruelty.People may kill for other reasons,such as out of anger,misunderstanding,or fear.Everyone has made mistakes because of such feelings.Sometimes people kill another person because they are defending themselves; this is another good reason to be careful when judging a person who has killed someone.
It is a very serious issue when someone takes another person's life.This is why it is so important to examine the facts of a murder closely.The reasons for murder are usually not very simple and that is why the government must take great care with this responsibility.The main concern is sentencing someone who didn't commit the murder.When the government kills someone,there is no way it can be changed.So the government must be sure they have the right person.
There is also the possibility that the people who committed the murder may change their life in prison and teach others to change their dangerous lifestyle.This way,a killer may be a benefit to society.Also,it takes many years before a killer is put to death,for there are extra trials and legal expenses the government must pay for.Finally,people must consider the idea of whether it is right for the government to kill someone who has killed a person.Is it right to answer violence with more violence?
1.The underlined word"arduous"in Paragraph 2 probably meansD.
A.violent          B.pleasant    C.comfortable          D.difficult
2.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.The advantages and disadvantages of imprisoning a criminal for life.
B.The arguments about how the government can reduce the murder rate.
C.The disagreement on whether a murderer should be put to death or not.
D.The suggestions on how to improve the living conditions of the prisoners.
3.According to the passage,what should the government make sure about?B
A.The taxpayers prepare the money for extra trials.
B.The person who is to be put to death is a murderer.
C.The government will never change its beliefs to kill murderers.
D.The murderers want to give up their rights to citizenship and life.
4.Which statement supports the idea that murderers should be put to death?D
A.Killing a murderer is a violent act in itself in modern times.
B.People can change,even those who have made terrible mistakes.
C.Someone who didn't commit the murder might be put to death wrong.
D.Let sunshine fall on those who respect life,not on those who destroy it.

5.Many facts suggest that children a re overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
  Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops se lling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream,at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants,then probably children would buy less take-away food.
  There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this,because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,or are always allowed to choose what they eat,they will go for sweet and salty foods every time,and this will carry on throughout their lives.
  There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home,they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣),it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
  The above are the main reasons for this problem,and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating  habits.
 
56.According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?B
A.Those who often do sports.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
57.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A.they can't choose what to eat              
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.their parents often cook meals for them     
D.there are too many fast food shops around
58.The word"steering"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB.
A.forcing  B.guiding   C.driving   D.moving
59.The main purpose of the text is toB.
A.tell a story   B.provide facts     C.give advice  D.compare opinions.

15.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than averagemen and women.Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders.An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%,the death rate increases by 2%.All this comes down to one point,work is helpful t o health.
Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness.Researches show that people feel unhappy,worried and lonely when they have nothing to do.Instead,the happiest are those who are busy.Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality.By work people come into contact with each other.By collective activity they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.
Besides,work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement.Work makes one feel his value and status in society.When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow,they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be.Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.

A.healthy       B.lazy             C.ordinary         D.poor
