When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get 36 with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 37 because of this.

Steroids: Short-Lived Success

As an athlete, I take great pride in my work and the amount of time I put into my physical training. I train in order to be stronger and tougher — to win the competition. Knowing that the athletes I face may be taking steroids makes me mad because I put a lot of work into training while they are off strengthening their bodies in an illegal way and having success.

Throughout the world of sports, high school athletes all the way up to the professionals use steroids. Last year, the biggest story involving steroids was in Major League Baseball. As a baseball player, I am disappointed to know that baseball is the sport in which steroids are used the most. This disappoints me because I look up to those players. The most recent case was with Barry Bonds. Fans, including myself, looked up to Barry when he started hitting all those home runs. But last year, after finding that he took steroids, fans began to laugh at him because he cheated in order to have success. Last year, Bud Selig, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, decided on a punishment. If tested positive for steroid use once, the player would be suspended (延缓) 50 games, caught a second time the player would be suspended 100 games, and if caught a third time the player would be banned from Major League Baseball for life.

Athletes take steroids to improve their physical ability, but why would you take them knowing that they are very unhealthy for your body? Players who take steroids can have significant emotional (情绪的) problems. They are often angered, and most of all they get hurt more easily than other players. A couple of years ago, a well-known major league baseball player, Ken Caminiti, 42 years of age, died because of steroids. He had a heart attack and died. Knowing that, why would anyone want to risk his life at a young age in order to have success only for a few years in his career?

As a baseball player, I work every day on my game and I play all year in order to improve and to make it to the next level of my career. I know for a fact that in my later years of playing baseball I will be able to go farther in my years of playing than the players who take steroids. This is because they are likely to have health problems and injuries. Even though I may not be the biggest or strongest athlete, I know that I worked hard to get where I am.

56. We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. all the baseball stars like Barry Bonds have been users of steroids

B. steroids have not yet been used by any high school baseball players

C. baseball players use more steroids than any other athletes in sports

D. if caught taking steroids three times, one can never play baseball again

57. The underlined word “steroids” in Paragraph 1 refers to a kind of __________.

A. equipment B. drug C. drink D. sport

58. In the passage the author tries to impress on us __________.

A. advantages of steroids B. emotional problems C. effects of taking steroids D. baseball training

59. The author trains hard every day so that he can _________.

A. advance in his career B. become the strongest athlete

C. maintain good health D. make his years of playing longer

B

A. 6465 7789 B. 800 819 0260 C. 021-5158 1658 D. 6465 7788

61. If you would like to organize a large-scale conference, you should contact __________.

C. Canadian International School D. None of the above

62. You may _________ to get more information about any of the three ads.

Along with wind, water and animals, people can spread seeds around. They get picked up by shoes or car tyres, for example, and end up elsewhere.

“But we’ve never looked at how many seeds get transported over what distances,” said Matthias Wichmann of the Center for Ecology and Hydrology at Wallingford in England.

Dr. Wichmann and a team of researchers have now done that, and their findings are surprising: seeds can be carried on shoes for miles.

In the study, the researchers looked at two wild plants that are found in a narrow band along a cliffside path in southern England that is frequented by millions of day hikers annually. The researchers wondered if all that walking contributed to the spread of the plants.

So they designed laboratory experiments in which people wearing hiking shoes or rubber boots stepped in mud, then in a tray (盘子) containing a specific number of seeds, and then walked a given distance, from one meter (3 feet 3 inches) to five kilometers (a little over three miles). Seeds remaining on the shoes were then counted.

They found that, as might be expected, most of the seeds fell off during the first 10 to 20 meters. But even with walks of five kilometers, a few seeds remained. With the aid of computer they discovered that dispersal (散播) by shoes was more important over long distances than dispersal by wind, which with these seeds is generally limited to about 250 meters.

Dr. Wichmann said that while such long-distance dispersal by walking might be rare, it might have a great effect on the spread of certain species (物种), particularly the ones that are new to a certain area. “Only a few seeds may go very far,” he said. “But these are the pioneers — they settle new sites and develop rapidly.”

63. We can infer from the passage that _________.

A. some seeds can remain on your shoes after your walk five miles

B. winds can carry any seeds as far as 250 metres

C. walking plays the most important role in the spreading of seeds

D. some rare plants result from people hiking

64. The purpose of Wichmann’s experiment is to find out__________.

A. the number and travelling distance of transported seeds

B. wild plants in a narrow band along a cliffside path

C. if only shoes and rubber boots carry seeds

D. if seeds can hitch a ride on shoes for miles

65. The proper title for this passage is __________.

A. People Hiking in the Mud B. Researchers conducting experiments

C. Seeds Travelling on shoes D. Pioneers settling new sites

D

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she agreed.

They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”

Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”

Everybody stared at him — so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?”

He replied, "When I was a little boy, I was living near the sea. I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood. I miss my hometown so much. I miss my parents who are still living there."

While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home.

Then she also started to speak, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date (约会). She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he was kind-hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.

After 40 years, he passed away, leaving her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you — the salty coffee.

“Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.

“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.

“Now I’m dying, I’m afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like the salty coffee. What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!

“Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”

Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet,” she replied.

66. After ordering some salt to put into the coffee, the young man must have felt __________.

A. excited B. satisfied C. embarrassed D. displeased

67. Why did the man have salty coffee all his life?

A. To change lifestyle. B. To please his wife.

C. To keep his word. D. To remember the past.

68. What does the writer mean by saying “she almost missed him (in Paragraph 10)”?

A. She meant to leave him on their first date. B. She thought of him every now and then.

C. She nearly misunderstood his explanation. D. She could hardly believe this simple fact.

69. From the passage we can see that the man is __________.

A. dishonest but responsible B. shy but kind-hearted

C. caring and loyal D. warm and understanding

70. It is implied in the passage that the woman _______ when reading the letter left by her

husband.

A. was confused about his behavior B. was touched by his white lie

C. felt sorry to know the truth too late D. felt angry about his dishonesty

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 两部分 共35分）

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注重：每空格1个单词。

Because six out of every 10 accidental deaths happen to Chinese children who are playing, Shanghai Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical (SJJP), a US-based pharmaceutical giant, is working on a Safe Kids Program to prevent injuries and deaths.

Since the Safe Kids Worldwide was set up in 1987 by Johnson & Johnson in the US, it has contributed to a nearly 40 percent decline in the child death rate from accidental injuries there. Learning from the successful experience, SJJP began the Safe Kids Program in China in 1999.

A recent survey conducted by SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China indicates that more than half of the responding parents didn’t know how to help their children keep safe and that half of the parents didn’t know about their children’s motor skill development at different ages. The survey covered 3,359 Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou’s parents with children between infancy (幼年) and 14.

Additionally, more than 40 percent of the parents didn’t know how to help their children to prepare well for sports activities. For instance, they don’t know how to have their children warm up or realize the importance of a playground-check before sports activities.

To help correct the problems, SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China have been translating and editing safety education materials, sending them to parents free of charge, and delivering free lectures in kindergartens, schools and residential communities for the last 10 years.

Currently, a special team has been set up and traveling around 12 key cities of China to popularize child sports safety knowledge and offer free training for young parents.

Though SJJP refuses to say how much it has spent on the program, it says the number in terms of money, staff and technology, is large.

SJJP was founded by Johnson & Johnson in 1995 and specializes in manufacturing and development of non-prescription medicines (非处方药) and health care foods and products. So far, its investment has exceeded (超过) $41 million.
