    阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出佳答案

    　In the United States, 30 percent of the grown-up population has a “weight problem”．To many people, the cause is clear：we eat too much．But scientific experiments do little to support this idea．Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food．In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch television．

    　Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average (平均的) than thinner people．In fact, some research work, such as 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average．

    　Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people．A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicine found the following interesting fact． The more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost．The more he ran, the greater he needed for food．Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount (量) of body fat．

    (1) What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have?

    [　　]

    A．They are too thin．

    B．They work too hard．

    C．They are too fat．

    D．They lose too much body fat．

    (2) Based on the information given in this article, suppose there are 500 Americans, about how many of them will have a weight problem．

    [　　]

    A．30　　　　　B．50　　　　C．100　　　　D．150

    (3) Are there scientific facts to support that eating too much is the cause of the “weight problem”?

    [　　]

    A．Yes, there are plenty of them．

    B．Of course, there are facts to show this is true．

    C．There are hardly any scientific facts to support this．

    D．We don't know because the information is not given．

    (4) Compared (比较) with the grown-up Americans today, the Americans of 1910 ______．

    [　　]

    A．ate more food and had more physical activities

    B．ate less food but had more activities

    C．ate less food and had less physical exercise

    D．had more weight problems

    (5) What have modern medical and scientific researchers reported to us?　　　

    [　　]

    A．Fat people eat less food and are less active．

    B．Fat people eat more food and are more active．

    C．Fat people eat more food but are less active．

    D．Thin people run less, but eat more food．

    第三部分阅读理解（共20小题。每小题2分，；满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。                           
    Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
    those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.
    My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
    That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
    became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."
    By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
    56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
    A. A confident and hardworking student.
    B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
    C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
    D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
    57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend？
    A. Happy and comfortable.                 B. Pleased and confident.
    C. Worried and surprised.                   D. Sad and lonely.
    58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
    A. helped get the girl out of trouble           B. got the girl to go to another school
    C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard  D. didn't want to help the girl at all
    59. What's the best title for the passage？
    A. A Strange Girl                          B. A Quiet Heart
    C. A Girl without Any Problems              D. Just the littlest Things
