Milk contains calcium (钙), which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even 80 milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal.‎ However, a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program. The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)’ says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,” all of which are not so 81 to health. There are better ways to get calcium, such as eating beans and drinking orange juice and soymilk. “One of the only 82 people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs. ‎ Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that have 83 to do with your bone strength, such as genes (基因), how much vitamin D you take in, and time, getting an hour’s exercise every day.‎ Some people disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans, an American Dietitian (营养学家), says “I don’t think it’s 84 if we take away this drink from the lunch line. Children enjoy it very much, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient (营养的) needs for the day.”‎ The US government is now considering PCRM’s idea, but 85 may be a long way off.

These stories are usually about 6 to 20 pages long which f 86 on an interesting person, a problem which the person had, and what happened when the person tried to solve the problem. All societies seem to have an oral storytelling tradition in which people met t 87 to tell each other short stories, and in which parents told their children stories at bedtime. This was certainly true in England, in India, in Kenya, in Mexico and in Japan. Was it true in China too? In many countries, oral storytelling is ‎ still important, but in most countries now, stories are written down and p 88 in books. My favorite collection of short stories is a book called The Story Giant by Brian Patten in which a giant knows all the stories in the world e 89 one. If he doesn’t find the last story he’ll die. In the book he gets four children from different parts of the world to tell him stories in the hope that he will find the last story so he can stay a 90 and pass the world’s stories on forever. Do you think he finds the last story?‎ ‎ I also like reading novels. One of my favourite novels is called Life of Pi. It is written by a Canadian called Yann Martel, and is about an Indian boy who spends a long time at sea after a shipwreck (海难) a 91____ with nobody but a tiger. What about you? Do you have a favourite novel? ‎ ‎ Not many people read plays these days, but many people still enjoy watching them at the theatre or on television. Perhaps the l 92 popular form of literature (文学) is poetry. This is because many poems are very difficult to understand, and often seem to be written and read by very clever people. I wish I could write poems which anybody can understand.‎ B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）:（12分）‎ ‎80. D 81. C 82. B 83. B 84. A 85.D C.

A team of architects (建筑师) in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to 80 and space becomes more expensive.‎ ‎ They have designed “spaceflats” that are only 30 square meters in 81 . These flats have small rooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, as well as a balcony (阳台), but everything is 82 planned to make good use of the limited space.‎ ‎ The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk．And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded away (折叠收拢) and stored into a small space in the wall. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. In one of the room, a small cooker, a microwave oven and a small refrigerator are 83 out of sight.‎ ‎ The other rooms are small but practical (实用). The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower．The double bed in the bedroom can also be a sofa, if 84 . The balcony has enough room for two people to sit and enjoy the view from the block of flats. All the rooms have high ceiling to provide as much storage space as possible, while the flat has large windows to let in 85 sunlight.‎ ‎“Spaceflats” are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. “It's wonderful,” said one ‎ citizen. “The flat is so well designed that you feel that here is plenty of space.”‎ ‎80.

Do you get angry e 86 ? If your answer is yes, you may be under stress (压力).‎ Stress is a normal physical response to things that make people feel worried. In China, 70 percent of the 2,000 students about to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent s 87 by Wuhan University of Hubei province.‎ Sometimes stress is good for people. It p 88 people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. H 89 , too much or long-term stress makes people feel a stress overload (负荷过多), and affects people’s health.‎ When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with it. Learning to work out small problems in everyday life is h 90 . It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try s 91 some positive (积极的) words to yourself, like “I will do the best that I can,” or “I can handle (处理) this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes, for example by getting a good night’s sleep, doing exercises or taking a bath.‎ But if you are under high stress and can’t deal with it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. It is not a shame to tell o 92 that you are having a hard time. They may comfort (安慰) you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better from sharing your problems with them.‎ B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文。) （12分）‎ ‎80. B 81. A 82. D 83. C 84. C 85. A C.
