Passage 2
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (胃口). It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasn’t telling the truth. He was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
16. We have to develop good eating habits because_________. CDBBD
A. we want to eat more B. we want to enjoy our meals C. we want to be healthy and strong D. we want to save time
17. _______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.
A. Either meat or rice B. Neither sweets nor ice-cream C. Not only meat but also rice D. Both sweets and ice-cream 18. We had better have our meals_________.
A. when our work is over B. at the same time each day C. when the meal is still hot D. when we go back home 19. A man who is angry has _________.
A. a better appetite B. a poor appetite C. to eat more food D. to eat dry bread
20. The judges in old England considered that a man could________ if he told a lie.
A. swallow dry bread easily B. eat a lot of dry bread

Passage 3
This library is an English language teaching and learning library. Unfortunately our resources are limited and so not everyone can join. Teachers of English, University students and professionals who are in the medical, engineering and managing fields can all join the library. Those from other professions are welcome to apply, but your application will not necessarily be approved. You must fill in a library application form, and put it in the box on the librarian’s desk. Because of the high number of applications we receive each week, you must wait one week. You may borrow one video at a time. The video must be returned in one week. If you can’t return it on time, please call. Otherwise your video library card will be cancelled. You may borrow three items at one time, that is, three books or three discs. All items must be returned within one month.
21. Which of the following groups of people can join the library? CBBCA
A. All teachers. B. High school students. C. University students. D. Army officers.
22. Why can’t the library issue library cards to everyone who applied?

Passage 4
What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity (容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
