They usually start to do this when they are ten years old. School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends. Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy (糖果). And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog. When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals. Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first. ( ) 21. How do many children get pocket money in some Western countries? A.

The passage mainly tells us how children in some Western countries _____. 　 A. find jobs B. get pocket money C. study at school D. do chores ‎ B Some people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim without any effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it. The question is: what can they do about it? Some believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat off (因出汗而减轻)a couple of pounds by playing tennis or climbing the mountain, but you put it on again with a big steak or bread and jam.‎ A helpful way is food choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don't eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You'll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.‎ For most of us, these methods are too extreme (极端的). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes,‎ ‎ sugar, rice, and so on and eating anything else you like. It's straightforward and often quite effective.‎ Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.‎ ‎25．There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that________.‎ ‎ A. it makes you sweat B. it's hard work ‎ C. it tires you out D. it makes you eat more steak ‎26.The practical method suggested in this passage means______.‎ ‎ A. sticking to bananas ‎ B. not eating many carbohydrates ‎ C. eating things that are hard to digest ‎ D. eating as little as possible ‎27．Calorie is a unit of________.‎ A. weight B. power ‎ C. electricity D. heat ‎28．Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Various Ways of Losing Weight ‎ B. Don't Eat Too Much ‎ C. Ways to keep Fit ‎ D. Food and Health C There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.‎ The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.‎ Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for the illness, and the student, too, answered just as right. “Good”, said the professor，“and how much will you give the patient？”‎ ‎“A full spoon，” answered the student.‎ ‎“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get，” said the professor. At the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much，” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I've made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops.”‎ ‎“I'm sorry, sir，” said the professor coldly, “but it's too late. Your patient has died.”‎ ‎29．The student's description of the illness was ________.‎ A．not correct B．not satisfying C．completely discouraging D．accepted ‎30．Before he left the room the student was almost sure that ________.‎ A．he had passed the exam, and the only thing was to wait for the mark B．his last answer had been wrong C．he had made a mistake D．he had not done well in the exam ‎31．Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A．The patient will be in danger if he's taken as much as a full spoon.‎ B．The doctor will be in trouble if he's given the patient a full spoon.‎ C．Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time.‎ D．If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time.‎ ‎32．Which guess is the most reasonable from the passage?‎ A．The student must have passed the exam.‎ B．The student may not have passed the exam.‎ C．The student must have been very happy when he heard, “Your patient has died.”‎ D．The professor must have been very pleased and given the student a good mark.‎ D The first newspaper was written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s, the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly(定期地)published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.‎ The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702. In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter(时事通讯), the first newspaper published daily in the American Colonies(殖民地). By 1760, the colonies had had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers in the United States.‎ Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation(销售量)in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every day.‎ ‎33．The first regularly printed European newspaper started in________.‎ A．Rome in 59 B．C.‎ B．Germany in 1609‎ C．Amsterdam in 1620‎ D．England in 1621‎ ‎34．From the article, we know that________.‎ A．newspaper has the longest history in the United States B．English language newspaper has the largest circulation in the world C．the first English newspaper was printed in Rome in 59 B．C.‎ D．there are all kinds of newspapers all over the world today ‎35．The best title for this passage should be________.‎ A．History of Newspaper B．History of Daily Newspaper C．The Beginning of Newspapers D．On Reading Newspapers 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。‎ A great life doesn’t happen by accident.
