Peter Molan, a doctor from New Zealand, is a specialist in stomach disorders. He offers his patients a simple, but effective ____21____to taking medicine: honey. Dr. Molan claims that the active component in honey is an antibacterial agent called UMF. There is some _____22_____ in the medical world as to whether UMF can _____23_____ bacteria completely. But research clearly shows that people with stomach problems experience some ____24____ soon after taking honey.

Is this yet another case of science simply giving credibility(可信性) to what we have always known? After all, it is common knowledge how ____25____ hot water with honey and lemon can be for sore throat sufferers. In accepting the _____26_____ effects of honey, however, a few reservations should be kept in mind. Firstly, the popular belief that honey is healthier than sugar isn’t ____27____ well-founded. Like all foods, honey can be healthy if eaten in ____28_____, but may also have some disadvantages. Honey causes blood-sugar levels to rise quickly. Secondly, eating too much honey on an empty stomach can cause discomfort. That is why it’s best to line the stomach with some fibre first, for example, by following a main meal with a dessert that incorporates honey. Thirdly, under no circumstances should a baby’s dummy (橡皮奶嘴) be dipped in honey before the baby sucks it, as this is just as ___29___ to cause tooth decay as any other sugary treat.

Direction: For the blankets with no words, fill in a preposition, conjunction, pronoun, or an article; For those blankets with a given verb, fill in its proper form according to the context.

There’s no doubt ____30____ colors do influence our minds. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridges in the area——until __31___was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately ____32_____ (fall) sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

Not only ____33____ light and bright colors make people happy, but also they make people more active. It is an established fact ___34_____ factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange instead of black or grey.

B

Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, ____35_____ (wait) ahead to send you off the road: The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.

Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Sudden movements can make a car very difficult _____36_____ (control). So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible.

Rule Number Two is to pay attention to ____37____ might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it ____38_____(take) to gently stop your car. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times the distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and never ____39____ you get into trouble.

IV. Cloze 15%:

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body fat.

Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioral Science Centre ___40____ to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have ___41_____ increasing obesity levels in winter. Instead, the team found that people who live in ___42_____ homes are more likely to have low body mass index (BMI) levels while those who keep their heating ____43_____ or off tend to be heavier.

Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: “We come on to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us to ___44____ a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to consume more _____45___through shivering(寒战) and generating heat through tissues.”In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and _____46_____ more energy when living in a warmer indoor environment.

The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, ___47____ more than 100,000 adults across England. Researchers found ______48______ weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C(73F), which accounted for about 15,000 of the households studied.

Dr Daly said: “As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation(通货膨胀), this research suggests the ____49____ of obesity could worsen where heating dropped below ___50____ levels or off for lengthy periods to cut costs.

“This is not just about people who live in warm enough homes being in the _____51_____ position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities. ____52____, they find it easier to stay at a low BMI level. The study took age, gender, social class and other factors into account.

V. Reading Comprehension (2*11=22%)

Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Many people think that honesty is a kind of virtue. But does Mother

Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they

lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying,

but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave

dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them

survive.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay（西丛鸦）, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.

Birds called cuckoos（布谷鸟）have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.

Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.

Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.

As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.

55. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.

A. chimps are ready to attack others

B. chimps can be selfish too

C. chimps are jealous of the winners

D. chimps are sometimes dishonest

56. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.

A. getting closer to its young

B. driving away the adult predator

C. leaving its young in another nest

D. pretending to be injured

57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.

B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.

C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.

D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.

58. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.How do animals learn to lie?

B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?

C. Do animals lie?

D. How does honesty help animals survive?

59. This passage is most probably ______.

A. an advertisement for enrolling new employees

B. a school report at the end of an academic year

C. a part of a recommendation letter from a university

D. a self-introduction meant to apply for a job

60. According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____.

A. a wise leader

B. a good social worker

C. a gifted scientist

D. a skillful performer

61. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.

A. is good at singing and dancing

B. has an interest in being a surgeon

C. is about to graduate from a university

D. specializes in psychology

C

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 3 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than

6 words.

A lot of people are dying for retirement as a time when they can finally take part in activities that they never had the time or energy to go after before. But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees（退休人员）are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.

Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue(疲劳) in people after they got tired while they were still employed.

The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.

Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions(养老金) that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.

“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says. “We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”

However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may affect retirees’ health after they leave their jobs－with less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

62. According to some recent studies, retired people may have depression and higher

rates of other diseases like __________.

63. Westerlund’s group found that in the year just after the retirement most retired

French workers felt much less tired both __________.

64. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may also be __________.

65. Retirement may make people happier with more of a __________.

66.每天听半小时新闻将会使你受益匪浅。（benefit v.）

67.另大家高兴的是，最近我们学校为了提高工作效率，用新电脑替换了教室里的旧电脑。

68.许多环境组织选择使用绿色在他们的旗帜上，因为绿色常与自然联系在一起。

（associate）

69.应当鼓励孩子们自由表达他们的想法，这有助于与父母的交流。(encourage)

70.这两家公司是否能就这个项目达成一致取决于今年的国际经济形势。（depend ）

期中英语考试卷及答案

英语期中考试试卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (10×4 = 40) Passage One Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and her the politicians before tan election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen. 1. In the past, many young people ______. A) knew the effects of war B) went in for politics C) liked to save the wounded in wars D) were willing to be soldiers 2. Now with TV people can ________. A) discuss politics at an information center B) show more interest in politics C) make their own decisions on political affairs D) express their opinions freely 3. The author thinks that TV advertisements ______. A) are not reliable on the whole B) are useless to people C) are a good guide to adults D) are very harmful to the young 4. Which is NOT true according to the passage? A) People have become used to crimes now. B) With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly. C) People now like to read books with pictures. D) The adults are less violent than the young. 5. From the passage, we can conclude that _______. A) children should keep away from TV B) TV programs should be improved C) children's books should have pictures D) TV has a deep influence on the young Passage Two Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and " writing". In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer". The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer killed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in
