　　阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑）。

　　Last year．I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC．I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended．Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her．But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money．I just need help finding the post office.” In an instant, I realized what I had done．I acted with prejudice― I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself．

　　The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15．I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister．Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble(卑微的)jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer．

　　In my own life, I have experienced prejudice．I remember a time― at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me．

　　But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness．She reminded me of my belief in humility(谦虚)．By the way, I helped that lady to the post office．I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson．

　　Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic．

　　Rao

　　12-18-08 So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.

　　Sai

　　12-19-08 Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom

　　We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齿的）structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.

　　The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.

　　Santos

　　12-20-08 Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.

　　Krishna

　　01-03-09 When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（逻辑）is better and suited for human beings.

　　Khan

　　01-05-09 Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系统）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!

　　60．According to Rao, what is the problem with veg food?

　　A．It damages our immune system.

　　B．It is lacking in protein.

　　C．It has few nutrients.

　　D．It contains too much omega 3.

　　61．In the opinion of Sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans

　　A．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth

　　B．belong to the plant-eating animal family

　　C．have the similar teeth structure as plant-eating animals

　　D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals

　　62．What advice is given by Santos?

　　A．Not to eat non-veg food every day.

　　B．To have a daily veg+ meat diet.

　　C．To eat digestible food every day.

　　D．Not to eat food without protein.

　　CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皱纹) the face and turn it yellow -- it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.

　　The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body -- even skin protected from the sun.

　　"We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement.

　　"In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich's team added in their report.

　　The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was.

　　When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich's team wrote.

　　Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature（过早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.

　　The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels（血管）beneath the skin to constrict（紧缩）, reducing blood supply to the skin. Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.

　　63. The best title for this passage would be_______.

　　A. The danger of smoking

　　B. A survey of smokers

　　C. Smoking causes skin aging

　　D. Quit smoking for health

　　64. How wrinkled each person's skin doesn’t relate to_______.

　　A. the number of cigarettes a person smokes

　　B. how long a person smokes

　　C. how long skin is under sunlight

　　D. the kind and characteristics of skin

　　65. It can be inferred from the study _______.

　　A. the age of smokers is not connected with the result of the test

　　B. smoking won’t make skin protected from the sun age

　　C. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organs

　　D. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skin

　　66. From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because_____.

　　A. it can make you feel tired

　　B. it can make skin come off

　　C. it will lower blood supply to skin.

　　D. it can make blood run faster

　　67. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

　　A. inform people about the result of the study

　　B. advise people how to protect skin

　　C. warn people not to smoke again.

　　D. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging

　　It's still there, the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go. Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.

　　 Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or arguing could stop my mother, who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.

　　We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room, which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time. I hated that smell. There was a stage far to the right, with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side.

　　 Although the school mainly taught language - speaking, reading, dictation - the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, "How are you, teacher?"

　　 The language always made me embarrassed. More often than not, I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street. Her Vietnamese was quick, it was loud, it was not beautiful.

　　 In our area, the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy. I did not want to be thought of as being mad, as talking stupid. When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life.

　　My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poor English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.

　　After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school. I thought of myself as American. At last, I thought I was one of you; I wasn't one of them.

　　 Sadly, I am only an American.

　　72. What can be learned from the passage?

　　A. The author’s brother liked learning Vietnamese.

　　B. The author’s mother taught him English at home.

　　C. The author didn’t like learning Vietnamese when he was young.

　　D. The author’s mother put her sons in a language school in Vietnam.

　　73. The author often felt embarrassed because ________.

　　A. his Vietnamese was not beautiful enough

　　B. he could not fly kites like other kids at school

　　C. his grandma spoke Vietnamese loudly in public

　　D. his mother always treated him rudely in the market

　　74. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author feels ________.
