In

them and
the job they do, but some people don’t think that

We want the police to solve
crimes，of course，so an ordinary policeman, 25
he is not a
detective（侦探），he will often have
to help 26 criminals. And 27 do we call
when there
is an emergency—an air crash，a fire
or an earthquake？We call the police. So a
policeman has to
28 to face any terrible
emergency that may happen in the modern world.
The police do a 29 job，they do it so well
that I support them. But I do not 30
policemen. I do not think that I could ever do
the job of a policeman.

I was
shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young
voice.“Mom，come here！There's
this lady here my
size！”
The mother rushed to her son；then
she turned to me to say sorry to me.
I
smiled and told her，“It's OK.”Then I talked to the
boy，“Hi，I'm Dory Kramer. How are
you？”
He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you
a little mommy？”
“Yes，I have a son,”I
answered.
“Why are you so little?”he
asked.
“It's the way I was born,”I
said.“Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm
just not going to
grow any bigger.”After I
answered his other questions，I shook the boy's
hand and left.
My life as a little person
is filled with stories like that.I enjoy talking
to children and
explaining why I look
different from their parents.
It takes
only one glance( 一瞥) to see I’m different. I stand
three feet nine inches tall(=1.14
metres).I
was born a dwarf．In spite of this，I did all the
things other kids did when I was growing
up.
I didn't realize how short I was until I
started school. Some kids called me names
(辱
骂).Then I knew. I began to hate the first
day of school each year.
But I learned to
smile and face the fact that I was going to be
noticed my whole life. What I
lacked in
height
，
I made up for in personality. When
people are rude，I remind myself，“Look
what
else I have－a great family，nice friends.”
54．Why did the mother say sorry to Dory
Kramer?
A．Because the boy ran into the author.
B．Because the boy hit the author.
C．Because the boy said the author was fatter
than him.
D．Because the mother thought the
boy's words had hurt the author.

56．When did the author realize
that she was too short?
A．When she grew up.
B．When she was 47 years old.
C．When she
began to go to school.
D．When she met the boy
in the supermarket.
57．What does the sentence
“What I lacked in height
，
I made up for in
personality”mean?
A. Although I am not tall, I
often dress up to make myself different.
B.
Although I am not tall, I can make myself tall by
dressing up.
C. Although I am not tall, I try
to keep it as my personal secrets.
D.
Although I am not tall, I can make myself good

Soon
computers and other machines will be able to
remember you by
looking at your eyes! The
programme works because everyone’s eyes are
different. So in the future you won’t have to
remember a number when you
want to use a
machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just
have to look
at the machine and it will be
able to tell who you are.
The eye-
recognition（识别）programme is already being tested
in shops and banks in the USA,
Britain, Spain,
Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take
the place of all other ways of
finding out who
people are.
However, scientists are
working on other systems. Machines will soon be
able to know you
from the shape of your face
or hand or even your smell! We already have
machines that can tell
who you are from your
voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-
recognition is better than other kinds because
your eyes don’t change as you get older,
or
get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins
have different eyes, so the programme can be up
to 94％ correct, depending on how good the
technology is. Some programmes may only be right
51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that
91％ of people who had tried it said that they
liked
the idea of eye-recognition. In the
future your computer will be looking at you in the
eye. So
smile!
58. How does the eye-
recognition programme work?
A. You write
your number. B. You show your ID
card.
C. You look at the machine.
D. You say your name.
59. Why can the
programme be up to 94％ correct?
7
A. Because eyes never change.
B. Because hands or fingers can get dirty.
C. Because people like the idea of the
programme.
D. Because the programme is
widely used around the world.
60. Which of
the following is true?
A. The programme is
being tested in Japan.
B. Machines with
other systems can also tell who you are.
C.
91％ of people like the idea of the programme.
D. Computers can remember you by looking at your
clothes.
61. What does this passage mainly
talk about?
A. Introduction to some kinds
of programmes.
B. Introduction to the eye-
recognition programme.
C. The way how the eye-
recognition programme works.
D. The places
where the eye-recognition programme is tested.
D
A group of people tasted the sweetness,
saltiness, and crunchiness(松脆) as well as the
overall
taste of food while listening to
different noises. Louder noises reduced the
reported sweetness or
saltiness of food while
increasing the measure of crunchiness.
It may
go some way to explain why airline food is widely
complained about by both the
workers and
passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “It’s
a general opinion that plane foods
aren’t
fantastic, but I’m sure airlines do their best, so
we wondered if there were other reasons.
One
thought was that perhaps the background noise may
have an effect. NASA gives their space
explorers very strong-tasting foods, because
for some reason, they can’t taste food that
strongly—again, it may have something to do
with the background noise.”
In a study, 48
people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while
listening to nothing or noise
through
earphones. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods.
In noisier settings, foods were
rated less
salty or sweet than they were when it was silent,
but were rated crunchier. “The
evidence shows
that if the background noise is loud, your
attention might be drawn to that, away
from
the food.” Dr. Woods said.
“We are still at
an early stage of proceedings(进程) and this is a
rather small study to really
draw
definitive(最完整可靠的) conclusions from,” Dr Woods
said, “but they suggest that
restaurants could
well adapt (使适合) their choice of food for a given
environment.”
Also in the group’s findings
there is the suggestion that the overall
satisfaction with the food
is also related to
the degree to which people like what they are
hearing.

62. How does the
food taste when it is eaten in a noisy
environment?
A. Sweeter and saltier.
B. Less salty but crunchier.
D. Less sweet
and crunchy. C. Sweeter but less crunchy.
63.
Why does NASA give their space explorers very
strong-tasting foods?
A. Foods become less
tasty in space.
B. The explorers lose their
sense of taste in space.
C. Loud noises in
space may weaken the explorers’ sense of taste.
D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep
energetic in space.
64. According to the
research, if you eat while listening to loud
music, __________.
A. you will eat less than
usual
B. you will find the music beautiful
C. your food may taste more delicious
D.
you may turn your attention to the music
65.
What would be the best title for the text?
A.

B. How to change
plane foods

八、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Many of us don’t
realize how important eye care is. It is said that
if you take care of your
body, then you can
surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be
given a lot of care. Then
what can we do?
Should we take some medicine? No. Natural eye care
should be put in a number
one place.
There are several causes leading to poor
eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and
age. Televisions, computers and reading are
also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you
happen
to work in front of the computer, it is
best to take a break every once in a while.
Something dirty
can cause redness and they
will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for
your eyes, too. If this
happens, the best way
is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You
must also try your best to
protect your eyes
from harmful things. For example, wearing
sunglasses can serve as a great way
to protect
your eyesight from UV rays in the strong sunlight.
Some foods will do good to your eyesight.
Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for
eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these
vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because
exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a
person exercises regularly and eats the right kind
of food,
his eyes will stay in good condition
for a long time.
All above are natural ways of
eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being
happy all the
time can be good to a person’s
eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very
important, no matter how
old a person is.
96. What's the most important way to protect
our eyes?
97. How can you protect your
eyes if you work in front of the computer?
98. Why do people wear sunglasses in the
strong sunlight?
99. What kind of food
is good for eyes?
100. How can you
keep eyes healthy besides eating healthy food and
doing eye exercises?
