    Eat to Excel
    How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Premier League football club Aston Villa are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.
    How fit is a footballer?
    Could you run ten kilometers in 90 minutes? A professional footballer can. Footballers have to be strong, quick, skillful and creative in their moves. Every Premier League club makes sure it has a good coaching scheme and a well-planned fitness program. They also ensure that players have the practice and training that will prepare them for matches. What else do you think clubs pay special attention to? A good stadium? Anything else? What about the food they eat?
    Eating the right thing
    A good diet is a fundamental part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill’s sport and health experts have chosen a secret weapon --- organic food (food grown without chemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players and said: “I chose to switch to organic food for Aston Villa because I’ve read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.” He believes that the best way to get these is to eat the very best fresh food.
    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
    Head chef Ian says: “Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest option.” Do you watch your diet? If you do and you keep yourself fit, you can be a winner!

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    On the snowy Tibet plateau, traditional elements have been mingled with modern life -- youths dressed in the latest fashion dancing "Guozhuang," office-ladies playing conventional Tibetan music while driving to work and Tibetan girls wearing superb folk costume displaying their nice figures.
    "I used to go shopping or bar-hopping with my friends after work. But now I don't think it is advisable to continue following that living style," said Pasang, a young Tibetan girl who practices Yoga everyday at a fitness club in the eastern suburbs of Lhasa city.
    Today, the conception to live in a healthy way has become more popular in Tibet's general public.
    When the night falls, crowds of aged citizens dancing "Guozhuang," a traditional Tibetan group dance, to vigorous folk music can be seen in many residential communities. Among them, Pasang's mother Tseden Wangmo, 63, is undoubtedly one of the enthusiasts in such an outdoor team activity: "I like dancing Guozhuang very much, for it can make my body strong, bring me good mood and carry forward Tibetan ethnic culture as well."
    Different from their elder generations, a swarm of teenagers play skateboard or roller-skating shuttle among groups of strollers on the squares in front of the Potala Palace and Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's permanent residence.
    The stylish dress, colored hairs, an earring on a single ear or an obscure tattoo -- all these signals have highlighted Tibet's younger generation's personality and their view on fashion.
    Lhakpa Tashi, 16, will become a high-school student in the second half year. This adolescent is a typical fan at various kinds of modern novelties, such as surfing the net, online shopping and foreign Rap music.

    A．Young people in Tibet like going shopping or bar-hopping after work
    B．Aged citizens like dancing “Guozhuang” to folk music at night in Tibet
    C．Teenagers are keen on playing skateboard and roller-skating shuttle in Tibet
    D．Young people in Tibet are interested in the factional dress
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A successful combination of traditional and modern Tibet
    B. People in Tibet today are trying to break away from the tradition
    C. Young people in Tibet today are trying to break away from the tradition
    D. Young people in Tibet today are having a more colorful life than the old
    小题5:According to your understanding, what is the author’s attitude towards the changes in Tibet?
    A．Positive.
    B．Negative
    C．The passage does not tell us
    D．The author does not care about the changes at all

    A new factory that turns used wine bottles into green sand could revolutionize the recycling industry and help to filter（过滤）the nation's drinking water.
    For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried（开采）at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been used to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impurities—but this may no longer be necessary.
    The green sand has already been successfully tested by water companies and is being used in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean.
    Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar),a company based in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made.
    The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycles only 750 000 tones of it.
    Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the company has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted.
    "The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reuse and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, "he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles come from to cut down on transport.
    The factory will be completed this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. Once it is providing a "regular" product, the government's drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general use by water companies.
    小题1:It may no longer be necessary to use high-grade white sand to keep water clean because_____.
    A．there is no need to keep water clean
    B．A new factory has been set up
    C．The green sand has been used to keep the water clean
    D．White sand is being use up
    小题2:According to the passage ,the new idea can do the following except_____.
    A．avoiding using up increasingly scarce sand
    B．avoiding further quarrying of white sand
    C．solving the crisis in the recycling industry
    D．cutting down the cost on transport
    小题3:Tests show that ______ in keeping the water clean.
    A．AFM is more efficient than white sand
    B．AFM is more efficient than glass
    C．glass is more efficient than AFM
    D．white sand is more efficient than green sand
    小题4:The underlined word "Backed" in the third paragraph can best be replaced by"_____".
    A．AllowedB．Opposed
    C．SupportedD．Forbidden
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Revolution in the Recycling for the Industry.
    B．Modern Technology an New Markets.
    C．Revolution in Environmental Protection.
    D．Unlocking the Benefits of Green Sand.

    The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful, says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.
    A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Keep cool, says George Herbert, for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.
    To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. Anger, says Pythagoras, brings with folly(愚蠢) and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
    Self-control is man’s last greatest victory.
    If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
    小题1: What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?
    A．The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
    B．One’s moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
    C．To control oneself is the most difficult in one’s life.
    D．If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.
    小题2: What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad ”in paragraph 2 ?
    A．If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.
    B．If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.
    C．If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.
    D．If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.
    小题3: If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT _______.
    A．the very backbone and nerve of character
    B．the patience and power to control himself
    C．strong feelings
    D．self-confidence
    小题4: The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to _______.
    A．explain that self-control is the key to success
    B．teach people how to control everything in order to make a great success
    C．distinguish all kinds of self-control and suggest ways for keeping it
    D．advise people not to lose temper so as to make and keep more friends
    小题5: The passage is mainly developed by _____.
    A．analyzing causesB．making comparisons
    C．examining differencesD．listing quotations

    Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Britain. It provides a variety of entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites（套房），swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs.
    As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments（饮料）and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.
    After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.
    Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham.
    Torquay seems to have something for everyone. But don’t take my word for it----come and see for yourself.

    No one knows yet the accurate number of lives which have been lost in this terrible fire. But reports suggest that it is more than one hundred.
    A wall of fire fifty feet high and at least one hundred and fifty miles wide is now racing towards the forests and rich farmlands of southern Victoria. Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes. People are rushing excitedly into the streets. The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so.

       How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery． All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters． These letters could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down． Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words．
