27、   About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors.

There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around us.

【1】According to the passage, what can we do with the help of the “cones”?

A.We can tell different shapes. B.We can tell orange from yellow.

C.We can kill mosquitoes. D.We can see in a weak light.

【2】Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

A.There are fewer color-blind women.

B.Women are more careful.

C.Women are fonder of driving than men.

D.Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

【3】Which of the statements about the color-blind is true?

A.All of them see everything in shades of green.

B.None of them can see deep red.

C.None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.

D.Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.

【4】What light can we use to attract and kill mosquitoes?

A.A red light. B.A yellow light. C.A green light. D.A blue light.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Color and its surprising effects. B.Women being luckier than men.

C.Color blindness. D.Danger caused by color blindness.

28、   One of the best things you can do for your health is to drop a few pounds. Or maybe more than a few pounds.

Being overweight increases your danger of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and the list seems almost endless. You'd better find several simple things you can do on a daily basis — such as making rules of eating more vegetables and less fat and getting more physical activities.

After breakfast, make water your primary drink. At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes (消耗) an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That's nearly 90,000 calories a year — or 25 pounds! An research shows that neither the calories nor sugary drinks give you a sense of fullness the way that food does.

People take only 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. Adding 2,000 steps will help you keep your present weight and stop gaining weight. Adding more than that will help you lose weight.

Eat five or six small meals or snacks a day instead of three large meals. A 1999 South African study found that when men ate parts of their morning meal at intervals over five hours, they consumed almost 20 percent fewer calories at lunch than when they ate a single breakfast.

【1】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A.A travelling diary. B.A story book.

C.A science magazine. D.An English dictionary.

【2】Which of the following should be avoided if you want to lose weight?

A.Eating more vegetables.

B.Getting more exercise.

C.Having less sugary drinks.

D.Having three large meals.

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A.Healthy Eating Habits B.Tips on Losing Weight

C.Daily Diet and Calories D.Exercise Stops Diseases

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Lots of diseases are related to being overweight.

B.Those who have a single breakfast eat less at lunch time.

C.Taking 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day can help you lose weight.

D.An average American consumes 25 pounds of soft drinks a year.

29、   I made my decision to start my own company and leave my stable position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us. "If genie（精灵）would grant you three wishes what would they be?" After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us. "Why do you need genie?" I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.

I realized that everything I had accomplished had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and did not need a genie's help to become a professional speaker.

When I tearfully told my boss my plans, this incredible leader whom I respect so much replied, "Go ahead with reckless abandon and it will pay off."

Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I quit mine, my husband was laid off（解雇）from his job. We had recently bought a new home me and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage payment and now we were done to no income. It was tempting to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay, but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of "if onlys" later on. A motivational speaker was born.

When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn't miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking engagements with new clients. I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my peers and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success, I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she wrote, "The world always makes way for the dreamer."

【1】What motivation did the author get from her vice-president?

A.Why she needed a genie to help realize her dream.

B.How could she realize her dream by a grantable genie.

C.She did not have to rely on a genie at all.

D.What wishes could a genie grant her.

【2】What attitude does the author's boss have to her plans?

A.Angry. B.Indifferent. C.Pitiful. D.Supportive.

【3】What happened after the couple lost their jobs?

A.The author came back to her former company.

B.They were determined and worked hard.

C.Their newly-bought house was taken back by the bank.

D.The author's former boss gave her husband a better job

【4】What does the text enlighten（启发）us?

A.Opportunity always comes to those who are prepared.

B.You will succeed as long as you stick to your dream.

C.It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.

D.Helping others will benefit yourself as well.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.

The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.

While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.

“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
