People in Britain are living longer and are 1 , with the 2 that more and more money is being spent on consumer goods, 3 the latest statistics.
But while people 4 appear to be healthier and wealthier, an analysis of 5 activities suggests they are also lazier. 6 the most popular pastime is watching television, with 98 percent of homes having 7 one set and over a third having a video recorder.
Other pastimes 8 listening to music, gardening, sports, visiting friends or going out for a meal. The 56.8 million people of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 9 an 10 12 million household pets.
Most of the homes now have central heating, washing machines, refrigerators, telephones and even cars.
Britain are also 11 more foreign holidays. United Kingdom residents took over 17 12 holidays overseas in 1986, 13 15.75 million in 1985, and the most popular destinations were 14 Spain, France and Greece.
More people are eating meals out and 15 lifestyles have changed, the consumption of take--away meals, convenience foods and so--called fast food has also 16 . Over the past 25 years, consumption of 17 coffee, processed foods, fruit and vegetables has risen 18 home consumption of beef, lamb, bread, potatoes, butter, sugar and tea has 19 .
Alcohol consumption is continuing its rise but the types of drinks taken has changed. Beer remains the most popular, but lager（淡啤酒）now 20 more than half of beer sales and there has been a switch from whisky to other spirits.

(1) C better off = rich／wealthy，填入与前面的living longer的意思相符. (2) A 根据上下文逻辑，应为因果关系. with the result意为“其结果”，that引导的是同位语从句，修饰先行词result. (3) C according to是现在分词短语作状语，意思是“根据”、“按照”. (4) B 四个选项的介词短语所表达的意思不同：in despair绝望地；on duty值班，值日；on business出差，做生意；in general总体上，大体上. 该句叙述的是总体上来说的情况. (5) D 下文By far the most popular pastime is watching television表明，此空应填leisure. leisure activities意为“业余活动”. (6) D 形容词或副词的比较级前有the时，by far须前置，表强调. 此处用来加强最高级形容词的语气. (7) A at least至少：as most至多；for certain肯定地，确凿地；with ease容易，轻而易举地.这里是说在英国百分之九十八的家庭至少有一台电视机. (8) D 四个选项均为及物动词，但所表达的意义不同：cease停止；continue继续；exclude排除；include包括，包含.空白后的活动均为英国人消遣所包括的内容. (9) C 此空填possess，意为“拥有”，这句叙述了英国人所拥有的庞大的家庭宠物数. (10) C 四个选项的过去分词都可以作定语，但所表达的意义不同：calculated计算的；valued估价的；confessed坦白的，承认的；estimated估计的.一千二百万家庭宠物是对英国人拥有宠物的估计数字，并不太精确.另外,空白前的不定冠词an，也说明了此空应填元音音素开头的过去分词estimated作定语. (11) D take holidays意为“度假”，属习惯搭配词组. (12) B 在数词thousand，million等前面有具体数字修饰时，这些数词不用复数形式，其后也不能加介词of. (13) B (be) related to与……有关；compared with与……相比较；referred to指的是，涉及到；due to归因于.这里是把联合王国居民在1986年去海外度假的一千七百多万人与1985年去海外度假的一千五百七十五万人相比.故此空应填compared with，过去分词短语作状语表示方式. (14) D 从空白后的西班牙、法国和希腊来看，去海外度假的英国人的最喜欢的目的地没有改变，故此空应填unchanged. (15) B 此空填表示时间的从属连词as，意为“当……之时”、“随着”，强调从句动作与主句动作同时发生. (16) A 根据前一个分句More people are eating meals out可判断出，此空应填构成现在完成时态的过去分词risen.此处rise相当于increase，是“增加”的意思. (17) A instant coffee速溶咖啡，是习惯搭配用语. (18) D 根据上下文逻辑，前后两个分句表示对比关系，故此空应填表示对比的并列连词while，意为“而”，具有转折意义.这里是说英国人们生活方式的改变，也引起了食物要求的改变. (19) B 此空应填fallen，与前一个分句中的risen相对比. (20) B 四个选项的动词短语的意思分别是：correspond with相等，与……一致；derive from源出；conform to遵照，符合；account for占，达到. 这里是说淡啤酒所占啤酒销售的数量，故填accounts for. |

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39 ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once?
