  What to eat after the match

  Head chef at Aston Villa, lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match.He says:“Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game.There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength, so I hand out meals on the coach on the way home.If we can make one per cent difference to the players by using organic food, then it is worth it.”

  Teaching healthy eating

  Everyone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground.But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food.As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to come and learn how to cook with the help of the Villa head chef.Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day.“The kitchen promotes healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.”he said.

  A final word from the kitchen

  Once there was a king who never ate a meal unless there was a dish of fish with it, but one day there was a big storm and the fishermen were not able to go out to catch fish, so the king had no breakfast and no lunch. Then he ordered his servants to tell everybody in his capital that if anyone brought him a fish, he would give him anything that he asked for.

  At last, a fisherman caught a big fish late in the afternoon and hurried to the king's palace with it. But the king's Prime Minister would not let him in until he promised to give him half of whatever the king gave him for the fish.

  Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, but also the most neglected.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting.

  Breakfast simply means:break the fast.Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.

  A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calories needs for the day.On average(平均)we eat 400 calories less for breakfast than for dinner.If you don’t want to have breakfast in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.

  Some people fear eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more.It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day.That’s because your body is working.Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in fact you are probably not.

  Not eating breakfast can last cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.What’s worse, since your body is in a slow state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently(有效率的).

  Breakfast is the first and most important.The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, and noodles.

    阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土话)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(车道), and explore new ways of living “green”.

Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan (about US $700).

The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 

Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief(摆脱贫困)projects in China.

“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

       A.Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.

       B.The increasing awareness of environmental protection.

       C.New trends of life in China’s big cities.

       D.The lifestyle of green collars.

2.Green collars are living green because_______.

       A.they have a large income to use

       B.they refuse to live an unhealthy life

       C.they spend a lot of money and time in the open

       D.they devote themselves to environmental protection

3.Green collars will_______after work.

       A.prefer to be left alone

       B.have fun with old friends

       C.think nothing about work and more

       D.do a lot of extra work at home

4.What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?

       A.Appreciative.   B.Doubtful.  C.Negative.  D.Neutral.

5.The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_______.

       A.in heavy polluted areas   B.in faraway places

       C.in a poor state of education     D.in unfavourable conditions

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

We bet that on cold wintry days, many of you love to stay in your warm home and, every now and then, come out into the kitchen for a snack. Unfortunately, plenty of creepy-crawly critters (爬行生物) like to do the same thing!

Winter is the time when bugs (虫子) invade your house without an invitation. The season can be tough for such creatures. In winter the air is cold, the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves. So bugs do what they have to do to survive.

Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates. Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year. Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapause. There’re different kinds of diapause, but all are similar to hibernation, a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold. Insects go into an inactive period, too, but it often isn’t when the temperature drops.

They rely on more dependable signals in the environment. For example, many insects can tell how much sunlight there’s each day. They use that to tell them when to shut down. Bugs are cold-blooded, meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside. They can’t move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. So they search for any warm place.

They’re looking for protection. These guys have been doing this for 300 million years, so they don’t really know they’re coming into your house. The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary behavior. They enter through tiny cracks or come in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes. Remember that they may be invading your homes for warmth and food, but they don’t care about humans.

56. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

   A. To point out that humans like to stay at home in winter.

   B. To mean that humans and bugs have the same living habits.

   C. To mean that bugs will invade the house for their winter.

   D. To put forward the idea that bugs are not welcome in winter.

57. According to the text, what is diapause?

   A. It is the same as the animals’ hibernation.

   B. It often appears in warm areas all the year.

   C. It is done to keep bugs active in winter.

   D. It is a deep sleep similar to hibernation.

58. What often decides bugs’ diapause?

   A. The lower local temperatures.           B. The amounts of sunlight.

   C. Kinds of environmental signals.         D. The insects’ inside temperature.

59. According to the text, bugs invade humans’ homes to ______.

   A. attack humans                                 B. look for enough food

   C. seek for protection                           D. show their evolutionary results

60. What would be the best title for the text?

   A. Bugs’ life on cold wintry days

   B. Why bugs invade your home in winter?

   C. Good relations between humans and bugs

   D. What does diapause mean?

第二部分:阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)  
第一节:阅读下列文章,根据文章内容,从文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left, we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers most polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult so we picnicked almost every day.
The following day after our arrival was Turkey’s Children’s Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk loved children and he often said, “Children are a new beginning of tomorrow”. He even dedicated the day 23rd of April to the children. Today, it is celebrated as Children’s Day as well as the date when the Republic of Turkey was founded.
On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day. He can decide what’s going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president sit next to him. There are a very large number of things you can do but some shops aren’t open because they are celebrating as well.
All in all, it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous spirit! 
36. Before the author and his wife went on a trip to Turkey, they were told that
_____.
A. it was difficult to travel in Turkey

38. The underlined word “he” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A. every one of us               B. the government
C. the president of Turkey     D. the lucky child

A. The couple had no difficulty making their way in Turkey.
