4.首先,请阅读下列的应用文:
A.Chapter 1:…you probably have an image in your mind of what the"perfect'or"ideal"body looks like.Try not to press yourself to look that way.Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his/her body.Everyone is different.It's important to be comfortable with the body you have.
B.Chapter 2:…You use energy for everything you do.That energy comes from the food you eat.Too much food or too little regular exercise causes your body to store the extra energy in fat cells.But,if you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet,you'll feel healthier and stronger not to mention look great.
C.Chapter 3:…Your body runs best on foods high in carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar.Eating a healthy diet will provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly.Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids(氨基酸),so you don't need to take in the amino acids separately.
D.Chapter 4:…Exercise does more than just burn calories.For instance,regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible,and increases the amount of muscle you have.It also makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure; …
E.Chapter 5:…Always warm up and stretch for 5-10minutes before you do strength or endurance exercises.Afterwards,take 10minutes to cool down.Your heart should beat normally when you stop.Exercising with a group may help you to exercise regularly.
F.Chapter 6:…Supplementation of a mixture of essential amino acids will increase protein synthesis (蛋白质综合体).While supplementing with either carbohydrate or amino acids may limit muscle damage and stimulate (激励) protein synthesis,there is increasing evidence that the combination can have an addictive effect.

以下是与上述章节的信息相关匹配的读者,请匹配读者和他/她需要了解的相关信息的所在章节.
66.David:He always breathes heavily and his heart beats irregularly when he finishes his exercise.He wonders whether there is something wrong with his body or whether he is not suited for physical exercises.
67.Ruth:She likes eating meat and a lot of sugar every day as she thinks that they can provide people with energy.Besides,she does sports on weekends.However,she is not energetic enough to face the pressure.She needs a healthy diet.
68.Rose:She is fond of many types of food but too busy to take up regular exercise.She doesn't look well,and she blames her unshapely figure on the stress from her work.
69.Tom:He is a Grade One college student majoring in gymnastics.He must write a passage about what a healthy and perfect body is according to the science of genes.
70.William:He is a coach,working in a gym.He will start a new course next month on how to lose weight and make the heart stronger.For the first few lessons,he is going to talk about why people have to exercise.

11.I'll do it tomorrow,I swear!
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it.(71)CHowever,they only stare into space,eat snacks,surf the Internet,watch videos and look at their pretty peers sitting around them who,most likely,are doing nothing either.
According to a recent report by the BBC,95percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20percent of the world's population are chronic procrastinators,complicating their lives with their constant delaying of tasks.
The figures are discouraging.(72)D Just look at Hamlet,who is perhaps the world's most famous procrastinator.He is also a university student,and his indecision leads to tragedy(悲剧)in the biggest way.
Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior,but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.
(73)E Pelling says this is nonsense,as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time.She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel nervous and ashamed,inconveniences others,and annoys loved ones.
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(不良倾向的) in a society that views swift action as praiseworthy,and,at times,even as morally good.
(74)FPiers Steel,a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation,believes humankind is"designed"to procrastinate.Nevertheless,he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.(75)ABreak the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically.The second is ingenious:Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don't complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time,they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.

A.The first one is obvious.
B.But this does nothing to break the spell.
C.They could spend whole days in the library doing nothing useful.
D.Procrastinators are less wealthy,less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay.
E.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure.
F.Fortunately,social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral weakness and offer strategies to control it.
G.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate,they write micro blogs about their fears,asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue.

8.Noah Webster published his first dictionary of the English language in 1806,and in 1828published the first edition of his An American Dictionary of the English Language.The work came out in 1828in two volumes.It contained 12,000words from 30,000to 40,000definitions (定义) that had not appeared in any earlier dictionary.In 1840the second edition,corrected and enlarged,came out,in two volumes.He completed the revision (修订) of an appendix (附录) a few days before his death,which occurred in New Haven on the 28th of May 1843.
Webster changed the spelling of many words in his dictionaries in an attempt to make them more phonetic(音形一致).Many of the differences between American English and other English variants(变体) evident today originated this way.The modern convention of having only one acceptable and correct spelling for a word is due mostly to the efforts of Webster,in standardizing spelling.Previous to this,the popular viewpoint on spelling might have best been summed up by Benjamin Franklin who said that he"had no use for a man with but one spelling for a word."
Webster's dictionary was so popular that"Webster's"became synonymous (同义的) with dictionary to many Americans.As a result,the Webster's name lost trademark protection and is now used by many publishers in the titles of their dictionaries.Among these,the Merriam-Webster's dictionary is considered to be the most direct example of Noah Webster's lexicographical (词典编纂的) tradition,the Merriam brothers having purchased the rights to revise the dictionary from Webster's heirs (继承人) upon his death.

81.What was published by Noah Webster in 1828?(No more than 4words)
An American Dictionary. (2marks)     
82.When did Noah Webster die?(No more than 8words)
He died on the 28th of May 1843. (2marks)     
83.Why did Webster change the spelling of many words in his dictionaries?(No more than 7words)
.(Because) He attempted/tried to make them phonetic.
To make the words/them phonetic.
84.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?(No more than 5words)
Webster's influence/effect on American dictionaries (3marks)
