7.Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips youmake to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School ofNursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classedas non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to thedrug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence doesnot support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adultswho eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a highereducational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, theydocontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.What is the conclusion of the study?

Claude-Oscar Monet ( 1840 -- 1926 ) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin. Who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.

In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the

Academie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria ( 阿尔及利亚 ).

He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era. In 1870, Monet married

Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prnssian war,they moved to London Back to

France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河 ) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.

In 1872,he visited Le Havre where he painted "An Impression,Sunrise". When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement "Impressionism".

Monet's wife died in 1879,and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.

From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列 ) of

pictures of one subject, including "Haystacks" "Rouen Cathedral" and "Waterlilies". The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again,most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.What is said about the painting "An Impression,Sunrise"?

Passage Two

Women are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(

视空 )abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.

Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology( 神经生理学 ), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.

But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it ’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled

as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity.

（82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.

12.Children for whom school has no point 　　Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings, or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all, because of their families' unstable lives. 　　Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all, the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly, once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going. 　　In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants' and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn. 　　Parents are the subject of this campaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school, and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets. 　　Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.[单选题] According to the text, there are thousands of children who __.

13.Passage ThreeIf women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they are only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of beihg seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened;necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabililty and feasibility?That's for you to decide. According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?

14.根据以下材料，回答40-43题 How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is amystery．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，which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer We live，the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，themore the number of words that mean something to us increases． Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style．AboVe all，the real poet is a master of Words．He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move mento tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r，or they willmake our speech silly and rude．One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions isthat．
