Part 3 Reading and Writing(共35分)
Ⅵ. Reading comprehension(共25分)
A. Choose the best answer.(6分)
Children in the UK are getting more and more overweight. One of the main areas people are discussing is the school lunches. In my opinion, we should look at what other children are eating for school lunches in other countries, and then learn a lesson from them.
Let’s take France as an example. This is a country where food is like the national region! Many schools have their own nutritionists (营养师), who work with parents to make sure school lunches provide a healthy, balanced diet. A typical (典型的) menu in a French secondary school is a starter of grapefruit, followed by grilled chicken with green vegetables and rice pudding for dessert. Pupils drink plain water rather than soft drinks. There is no choice and pizzas, burgers and chips are off the menu. Much more money is spent per meal than in Britain.
Norway (挪威) is another interesting example. Schools there have no canteens at all. All Norwegian school children bring a packed lunch to school, which usually consists of sandwiches. Pupils can buy cheap milk, fruit or yogurt at school. Lunch breaks are only 30 minutes long. While the children are eating, a teacher reads to them from a popular book. Norway is a country of healthy eaters and they start young.
Fortunately some people in the UK do care about what children are eating for lunch. In some schools, the food has got better. But we still have a long way to go. “An apple a day” may well keep the doctor away, but what all kids need is a healthy, balanced diet.
36. At the moment, British children are ________.
A. eating healthy food B. becoming fatter and fatter
C. studying nutrition D. discussing the school lunches
37. In ________ , there are nutritionists at school.
A. the UK B. Norway C. France D. the USA
38. A typical French lunch at school usually starts with ________.
A. grapefruit B. grilled chicken C. green vegetables D. rice pudding
39. Norwegian children can ________ when they are having lunch at school.
A. have a long break B. read a popular book
C. sell milk, fruit or yogurt D. listen to the teachers reading
40. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. There are no canteens in Norwegian schools.
B. Britain doesn’t spend as much as France on the school lunches.
C. Pupils in France have no choice but to have pizzas, burgers and chips for lunch.
D. Some people in the UK begin to pay attention to the school lunches.
41. This passage probably comes from the ________ section of a magazine.
A. health B. amusement C. business D. language
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. C 41. A

“What do you want to do?” the teacher asked. “We can ask each other riddles,” the farmer said, “You start.” “Let’s make the rules first,” the teacher said. “And let’s make the game more interesting. We can play it for money. If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”
The farmer thought about this for a while, then he said, “That’s not fair. You are a teacher, an educated man. You know more than I do. I’m just a farmer.”
“That’s true,” the teacher said. “What do you think we should do?”
“If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you pay me a dollar. If I don’t know the answer to a riddle, I’ll pay you half a dollar.”
The teacher thought about this and agreed, “OK. That’s fair. Who’ll first?” “I will,” the farmer said, “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?”
The teacher thought for a few minutes and then said, “I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.” He gave the farmer one dollar and said, “Tell me the answer, please.” “ 6 .” The farmer said and gave him half a dollar.

Ⅵ. Reading comprehension(共25分)
A. Choose the best answer.(6分)
Children in the UK are getting more and more overweight. One of the main areas people are discussing is the school lunches. In my opinion, we should look at what other children are eating for school lunches in other countries, and then learn a lesson from them.
Let’s take France as an example. This is a country where food is like the national region! Many schools have their own nutritionists (营养师), who work with parents to make sure school lunches provide a healthy, balanced diet. A typical (典型的) menu in a French secondary school is a starter of grapefruit, followed by grilled chicken with green vegetables and rice pudding for dessert. Pupils drink plain water rather than soft drinks. There is no choice and pizzas, burgers and chips are off the menu. Much more money is spent per meal than in Britain.
Norway (挪威) is another interesting example. Schools there have no canteens at all. All Norwegian school children bring a packed lunch to school, which usually consists of sandwiches. Pupils can buy cheap milk, fruit or yogurt at school. Lunch breaks are only 30 minutes long. While the children are eating, a teacher reads to them from a popular book. Norway is a country of healthy eaters and they start young.
Fortunately some people in the UK do care about what children are eating for lunch. In some schools, the food has got better. But we still have a long way to go. “An apple a day” may well keep the doctor away, but what all kids need is a healthy, balanced diet.
36. At the moment, British children are ________.
A. eating healthy food B. becoming fatter and fatter
C. studying nutrition D. discussing the school lunches
37. In ________ , there are nutritionists at school.
A. the UK B. Norway C. France D. the USA
38. A typical French lunch at school usually starts with ________.
A. grapefruit B. grilled chicken C. green vegetables D. rice pudding
39. Norwegian children can ________ when they are having lunch at school.
A. have a long break B. read a popular book
C. sell milk, fruit or yogurt D. listen to the teachers reading
40. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. There are no canteens in Norwegian schools.
B. Britain doesn’t spend as much as France on the school lunches.
C. Pupils in France have no choice but to have pizzas, burgers and chips for lunch.
D. Some people in the UK begin to pay attention to the school lunches.
41. This passage probably comes from the ________ section of a magazine.
A. health B. amusement C. business D. language
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.(6分)
