A

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car.

“Whoever did this can keep my car. Please let Benjerman come home,” the notice said. It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman，a 12-year-old black retriever，were reunited after police located them in Barrington. “He’s hungry and dirty, but he’s very happy to be home,” Atkins said.

The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirty bikes. However, the police couldn’t control Benjerman, and they had to call Atkins to come and get him.

Atkins said the thief cared for Benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food. She believed Benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area. She said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas. Before Benjelman was found, Atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in Somersworth.They also contacted animal shelters, throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

The notice stated there was a reward, and also that the dog needed medication. Any caller could remain anonymous(匿名的).

Atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to rent a carpet cleaner. “It was l0 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Benjerman in broad daylight,” Atkins said. The car thief threw Atkins’ wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene.

The Transport for London website offers a tube station search facility to find the nearest subway station to any location in the city. When you find a tube station, you can easily locate the closest bus stop by using the comparison bus-tube maps at the station’s entrance.



Follow the Transport for London Tube Guide to your destinations and always plan

Le Whif, an inhaler(吸入剂) that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight, is to be released in British stores. The invention, called the world’s first breathable food by its creators, let consumers suck in the taste of chocolate and coffee while taking on less than one calorie. Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline.

The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles which are small

enough to become conveyed by air, but too large to enter the lungs. Each Le Whif contains enough flavor about eight to ten whiffs(气味) and costs $1.99 on its own or $4.99 for a pack of three. The inhaler is available in chocolate, raspberry chocolate and mint chocolate models as well as coffee flavor, which gives a dose of caffeine equivalent to a small short of strong black coffee.

It was invented by Prof. David Edwards. He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experience, such as allowing people to sample a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meals He said, “In terms of living off whiffing we aren’t even close to being there. But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently, and choosing food or its aesthetic(审美的) pleasure. We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months. It is reasonable to assume that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health-centered.

The product that was released in Paris in 2009 and the initial production run of 25,000 inhalers were sold out within a month. It has since been made available across France and in the US. In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month, after which it could become more widely distributed.

39. According to Paragraph 1, Le Whif ______.

A. is a new kind of healthy food

B. contains few nutrients in fact

C. is popular with British chocolate lovers D. is able to help dieters lose weight

40. What is the main purpose of inventing Le Whif?

A. To produce all kinds of chocolate. C. To change the coffee flavor.

B. To replace the traditional chocolate. D. To increase people’s dining experience.

41. Which of the following statements does David Edwards agree with? A. His new products will come out once a year.

B. Le Whif is a revolution that will change people’s life completely. C. The whiffing products in the future will be improved. D. Le Whif can make people eat less food. 42. From the passage, we know that ______. A. customers can buy Le Whif all over the world B. Le Whif hasn’t been made available in British stores C. Le Whif can help to lose weight but is harmful to health

D. Le Whif contains hundreds of tiny food particles which are small enough to enter the

lungs

D

It’s not just adults who have a thing or two to discuss with other people, babies too have

their own social lives and enjoy group interaction, according to a world-first study.

The breakthrough study conducted by psychologist Professor Ben Bradley, at Charles Sturt University, could completely transform the way child-care centres are set up. In their study, the researchers examined groups of nine-month-old babies in New South Wales and Britain. And they came across astounding(令人吃惊的) results. It was found that infants had “social brains” and focused not just on their mothers but on social life in groups as well.

“They communicate with more than one baby at once, and show jealousy and generousness,” said Professor Bradley.

He added, “They develop their own meanings through group interaction, they notice if a group member is behaving differently and they take on roles, such as leaders and followers.”

“A baby who has a depressed mother tends to be withdrawn ( 内向的 ), but put that same baby in a group of its peers (同龄人) and they behave and interact like any other baby.”

It was the first all-baby group study ever to be conducted. “Most studies of babies concentrate on the infant-mother relationship, assuming that is the single foundation for mental health, but babies are constantly involved with groups of people other than their mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents and those taking care. Therefore, the mother-baby approach needs to be combined with a group approach,” said Bradley.

Phoebe Christison, a child-care worker at Camperdown Sunshine Bubs in Sydney’s inner west, said she often noticed what appeared to be emotional attachments developed between toddlers. She said, “Joel ( 10 months ) and Isabella ( 11 months ) always like to hold hands when they sit in their high chairs and eat. And babies definitely show jealousy. They push and touch each other, and copy what the other is doing.”

43. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. It’s the first study to look at all-baby groups. B. It divides babies according to their personalities. C. Its aim is to change the way of child care. D. Its results are hard to believe. 44. A baby who has a depressed mother A. tends to be a follower C. has poor social ability

_. B. also enjoys group interaction D. pays more attention to its mother

45. What can be inferred from the result of this study? A. There’s no need of child-care centers at all.

B. Babies are affected by groups more than by their mothers. C. Adults should include babies when having social activities.

D. The normal infant-mother bond alone isn’t enough for the good mental health for babies.

46. The underlined word “toddlers” in Paragraph 8 can be replaced by .

A. adults

B. infants

It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.

How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.

Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.

Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

47. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Paragraph 1? A. Feel shy.

B. Stay calm.

C. Keep up.

D. Feel upset.

C. peers

D. groups

48. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______. A. problems cause troubles C. challenges can be avoided

B. attitude is everything

D. personalities are built on failures

49. According to the last paragraph, when we’re in trouble, we ______. A. can only depend on our parents C. should only believe ourselves

B. are not alone D. are not confident

50. What’s the writer’s purpose to write the passage?

A. To encourage. B. To compare.

C. To prove.

D. To explain. 第二节 补全对话 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

Losing weight is hard enough. Keeping it off is even harder. Now a new study by researchers at Penn State suggests that the techniques that work for losing weight aren’t necessarily the same as those that help keep you slim. First the researchers surveyed over 1,100 people who had achieved significant weight loss and maintained it. The researchers identified 36 weight-loss and weight-maintenance practices that at least10% of the group used.

Then the researchers conducted a national telephone survey of overweight people who had tried to lose weight and keep it off with different success about 11% reported successfully losing weight, and 21% were able to maintain that loss for at least a year.

The survey found people who lost weight successfully did so by participating in weight loss programs, cutting back on sugar, eating healthy snacks, not skipping meals and participating in different types of exercise.

Still, say many nutrition and obesity(减肥) experts. The basic principles of weight loss and maintenance are the same; you have to eat a healthy diet and increase your exercise. People who lose weight and keep it off tend to eat significantly healthier foods and do a lot more exercise than the average American.

But what may maintain between weight-loss and maintenance is a person’s attitude; rather than focusing on actively losing weight in the short term. People have to start focusing on long-term, permanent lifestyle changes and behaviors, if they want to maintain the weight that’s been lost. The key to success, experts agree, is motivation, not necessarily the particulars of your weight-loss program.

56.What is the main idea of the text? （within 8 words）

57.What does the underlined word “those” in the first paragraph refer to? (within 3 words) 58.What way do the researchers use to do the study? (Within 5 words)

59. What are the best ways the experts say about weight loss and maintenance? (within 10

words)

60.What is the key to maintaining the weight that’s been lost? (within 3 words)

Food Safety Issues

Nowadays, unsafe food can be found, now and then, in the market, which has aroused a lot of public attention.

Unsafe food is harmful in many ways. To begin with, it has a bad effect on the reputation of the real manufacturers and brings about moral crisis, making people not believe in each other any more. Above all, people’s health and lives are severely threatened if they buy and eat some unsafe food.

Measures should be taken to deal with the problem. For one thing, strict laws should be passed to punish the producers and the sellers. Once found committing such a crime, they must answer for what they have done. For another, the government should strengthen the supervision of all aspects of food.

With some effective measures taken, I firmly believe this problem will be solved in the near future. (128)
