John grew up thin and weak. When he went to the college, John decided to make a change.
He took advantage of the free gym at his college, and went there to exercise every day from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. He lifted light weights at first and then moved on to heavier ones. Every three weeks, he increased the weight he lifted by five pounds.
He also did push-ups, sit ups, and pull-ups. To build a strong body, he drank milk before he worked out. It helped him a lot. John even changed his eating habits. He started eating foods like beef, eggs, brown rice, and carrots.
In six months, his hard work paid off. John was no longer thin and weak. He was strong and no one bullied (欺负) him in college. He felt a lot happier and more confident (自信的) about himself.
John was so encouraged by his change that he decided to create a program teaching high schoolers how to get stronger. He first taught at his old high school, and then taught at several high schools nearby. Later he made a DVD about how to get stronger. In the end, John went on to talk shows and wrote books about his journey.
51．How long does it take John to build a strong body
A．A whole year. B．9-10 months. C．Six months. D．Three weeks.
52．Which of the following sentences could be added to the chart (图表)
John became confident. → → John went on to talk shows.
A．John created a program to help others.
B．John wrote a book about his journey.
C．John went to exercise in the gym.
D．John was bullied by some boys.
53．What does the writer want to tell us by telling John’s story

In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, new brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms handwriting has many benefits. It results in better learning and memory over using a keyboard.
The study was conducted using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. Each was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood (风帽) with over 250 electrodes (电极). The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each person took turns to have a 45-minute examination.
The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it’s important for children to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand,” she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are beneficial in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It is important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added.
54．What do we know about the study
A．The study involved 24 children in altogether.
B．All the participants were divided into two groups.
C．Sensors were used to record brain wave activity.
D．Participants took examinations at the same time.
55．How does handwriting help people according to Van der Meer
A．It makes people become smarter. B．It improves people’s motor skills.
C．It helps people get more patience. D．It arouses people’s interest in learning.
56．Why did the author write this article
A．To present a new research on handwriting.
B．To tell people the history of handwriting.
C．To show the importance of writing by hand.
D．To teach people how to improve handwriting.
C
Developing healthy eating habits starts from childhood, therefore it is important for parents to teach and provide children with a healthy diet. DPHSS administrator of the Bureau of Nutrition Services, Charlie Morris told KUAM News, “A healthy diet for a child consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables in the diet limiting（限制）the amount of simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed（加工的）food.”
This means staying away as much as possible from food such as chips, cookies, candies and sugary drinks, as all children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced munity nutritionist（营养学家）Thelma Romoso said, “The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the protein, and also the milk, the diary product, so for the fruits it’s easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept of fruits and vegetables.”
This concept means that there are at least two servings of fruits a day, three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner. As for protein parents can make a variety of dishes from chicken, beef, fish or even dried beans to make sure the child gets three servings a day.
Morris said that the child’s hunger level controls how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered, saying, “Mom needs to ensure that the food offered is good food for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active they are, snacks（零食）are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good kinds of snacks.”
When it comes to preparing your child’s lunch and snacks for school, make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally beneficial（有益的）such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical activities, namely it is important that children get outside and run around and play and get activities in addition to eating a good diet.
57．What does the writer want to tell us in the text
A．Choose healthy food and snacks for your child.
B．Fruits and vegetables are good for your child.
C．Take steps to provide a good lunch for your child.
D．Make various and delicious dishes for your child.
58．According to Charlie Morris we can know that ________.
A．mothers should prepare delicious food by themselves
B．highly processed food should be reduced in daily life
C．few kinds of food have sugars and high fat
D．active children prefer more and more snacks
59．Which is NOT true when preparing your child’s food for school
A．The food must provide energy as well as nutrition. B．Physical exercise is as important as a good diet.
C．Running and playing while eating is good. D．Fruits and whole grain foods should be included.
60．It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．fresh fruits are often ignored（忽视）by children B．a good nutritional diet may cost too much
C．choosing healthy food needs a lot of money D．parents play an important role in children’s diet
D
Climate change is a big problem humans are facing. How can we deal with it Reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) is important. But what if we could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and use it to do other things
Recently, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that his company is working on a new program. It’s going to take CO2 out of the air and turn it into rocket fuel.
It will not only be good for Earth, but “will also be important for Mars,” Musk tweeted. The air on Mars is made up of 95 percent CO2. If we could turn CO2 into fuel, we could travel the long journey from Mars back to Earth in the future.
The idea may sound strange but it’s not totally crazy. There are already some technologies that might help with this. According to Di-Jia Liu, a chemist at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US, the carbon atoms (原子) in CO2 and the hydrogen (氢) atoms in water can be combined to make methane (甲烷) or ethanol (乙醇). They could be used as fuel. If we do this on Mars, energy from the sun might be used as a catalyst (催化剂).
The idea will also make space travel more eco-friendly. “If the CO2-based fuel could be used in a rocket launch, we could prevent 715 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the air,” said Stafford Sheehan from Air Company, a US company that focuses on CO2 capture technologies.
61．What is SpaceX working on
A．Reducing CO2 emissions. B．Building a new rocket.
C．Turning CO2 into fuel. D．Traveling long distances on Mars.
62．What advantage will the program bring if it succeeds
A．It will take energy from the sun.
B．It will take 95 percent of CO2 out of the air.
C．It will make it easier to travel from Mars to Earth.
D．It will create free catalysts for chemical experiments.
63．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How CO2 can be turned into fuel.
B．Where CO2 can be taken.
C．Why the program should be carried on Mars.
D．How the energy from the sun can be used.
64．What can we learn from what Stafford Sheehan said
A．Scientists use 715 tons of CO2 to launch a rocket.
B．Rocket launching is an environmentally-friendly activity.
C．There will be no CO2 emissions anymore.
D．SpaceX’s idea would be good for the environment.
65．What is the best title of the passage
A．Visit Space with CO2 B．Climate change we face
C．Space travel in the future D．A new program on Mars

Nowadays more and more electronic machines have appeared, among which different kinds of electronic dictionary is not the least uncommon. Rarely(很少地)can you find a student who does not have an E-dictionary somewhere in his or her schoolbag. They are popular with students partly because they are small and light-weighted compared with the traditional paper dictionaries, and partly because students can not only look up a word for the meaning but also hear its pronunciation. As a useful tool for students, it is also a good friend for a person always on the go. A multi-functional(多功能的)E-dictionary is simply a must because it serves the owner in many other ways, such as keeping name cards, playing games, being used as a calculator(计算器).
However, still other people hold that the traditional paper dictionaries have more advantages in some ways. Although the letters are usually very tiny and thus in need of a good eyesight for this kind of dictionaries, the explanation of a word, plus its usage and collocation(配置), are more detailed, and more illustrations(插图)are provided. While it is true that the paper dictionary is heavy and hard to carry along, an E-dictionary can run out of power or battery at any time.
In a word, the electronic and paper dictionaries are different from each other. As far as I am concerned, I always pocket an E-dictionary wherever I go. On bus or on the roads, you can see me referring to it now and then. But at home I always turn to my heavy and large paper dictionary, from which I can not only get the meaning of a new word, but also all its origin(起源), usage and collocation with phrases or sentences going with it. So there is no such thing as good one or bad one, it’s all up to you.

Ms. Liu organized a debate competition last week. Different people have different opinions. I agree with Zhang Tao, because I think the traditional homework is practical for us, such as copying words and phrases, doing some exercises, reciting and so on. I think copying words every day is a good way to remember. Although the creative homework is innovative, I don’t think it is practical. Though it takes us much time and it is pretty hard, I like to do it. You know I joined the basketball club last term. I spent most of my time playing basketball and didn’t have time to recite words. As a result, I didn’t do well in the English exam at the end of last term. I was sad, so I spent half an hour on words every day. I believe I can do well in the next exam.
