highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately.

I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.

When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged（拥抱）us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）.

To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”

I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.

Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.

Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”

They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

60. How did the accident occur?

A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign. B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck. C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car. D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.

61. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____. A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her pain

B. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of others

C. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her life D. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best 62. From the passage we can learn that _____. A. Amy has lived quite a normal life B. Amy has never recovered from the shock C. Amy changed her job after the accident D. Amy lost her memory after the accident

A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.Losing the

rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源)：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

There are two main reasons for this.Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply.

Rainforests are often called the world's drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However，fewer than 1%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.

63．Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ______.

A．reflect more heat into the atmosphere

B．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth C．bring about high rainfall throughout the world

D．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃

64．What does the word“this”underlined in the third paragraph refer to?

A．Humans have begun destroying rainforests. B．People have a strong desire for resources. C．We will lose much more than we can gain.

D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests. 65．It can be inferred from the text that ______.

A．we can get enough resources without rainforests B．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land C．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns D．there is great medicine potential in rainforests 66．What might be the best title for the text?

A．Rainforests and the Environment B．How to Save Rainforests

C．How to Protect Nature

D．Rainforests and Medical Development

The Diet one A Dangerous Place

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身体上）.

Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

67. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________. A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential B. people are fed up with diet products

C. people have difficulty in choosing diet products D. diet products are misleading people

68. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____. A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods B. pay attention to their own eating habits C. watch their weight rather than their diet D. try out a variety of diet foods

69. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______. A. losing weight is effortless B. diet products bring no pain C. it costs a lot to lose weight D. diet products are free from calories

70. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______. A. lack basic nutrients B. are over-consumed C. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energy 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
