With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines. On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentines Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest(牧师) in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of historys most romantic characters. Nowadays, Valentines Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentines cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.26.

BWhat will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and motions similar to our own.31. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. Mans life will be different in the futureB. Future man will look quite different from usC. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. Mans organs functions will change32. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.33. The change in mans size of the forehead is probably because _.A. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on D. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time34. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in a different way.35. It is implied that _.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future B. body organs will become poorer if they are not used oftenC. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictableCIf you have to miss a meal a day, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you dont eat it? If you have to make a decision of this type, most people (especially very busy people) will choose to skip breakfast.However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast ( the meal which “break you “fast ) to be the most important t meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients (营养) we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力) and stay hopeful with good honor. However, many people skip breakfast or substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a persons work involves mental(脑力的) activities. The study showed that if school-children eat fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate (集中)on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast is inadequate.The study also showed that contrary to what people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you want to lose weight, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will likely lose more weight if you decrease your other meals.36. According to experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because _.A. a good breakfast breaks you down fastB. youll lose weight quickly if you skip breakfast ks5u C. breakfast provides what a person needs to workD. after a long night, youll feel very hungry37. The underlined part “substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal(Para. 2) probably means _.A. to exchange a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal.B. To drink a cup of coffee instead of a well balanced meal.C. To change a cup of coffee into a well balanced meal.D. To regard a cup of coffee as a well balanced meal.38. The example of school-children in para.3 shows that _.A. school-children will be quick and attentive all day if they eat breakfastB. a proper breakfast will make mental workers more efficientC. fruit, eggs, bread and milk are the best breakfast for mental workersD. school-children who have breakfast are much brighter than those who dont39. Which of the following is NOT true according to Para. 4?A. Some people skip breakfast because they want to be slimmer.B. Most people who skip breakfast actually eat more for lunch.C. People put on weight because they eat too much breakfast.D. Skipping breakfast wont help people who want to lose weight.40. The best title of the passage is _. A. How to Lose Weight B. Whats a Healthy DietC. Surprising Results of a Study D. Breakfast A Meal That Breaks You FastDLife is difficult. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct(指导). It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.41Which sentence best express the central point of the passage?A. Problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering.B. We become stronger by facing and solving problems of life.C. Life is difficult because our problems bring us pain.D. People like to complain about their problems.42. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.A. save space B. persuade readersC. make readers laugh D. get readers attention43.
