The leftovers in the fridge smelled a little unusual, but you ate them. You were so hungry that you didn’t even heat them up. Later, you started to feel sick. Powerful waves of pain rumbled through your stomach. They went away, but not for long, then you even threw up.

   That sounds like the case of food poisoning. No one put poison in your food, but bacteria probably grew in the food in the fridge and those bacteria made you sick. Food poisoning can be mild and last just a short time or can be more serious.

   Food poisoning comes from eating foods that contain germs like bad bacteria, which are poisonous substances. Bacteria are all around us, so mild cases of food poisoning are common. You may have had mild food poisoning with diarrhea and an upset stomach --- but your mom or dad just called it a stomach bug or stomach virus.

   You might think the solution is to get rid of all the bacteria, but it isn’t possible and you wouldn’t want to do it, even if you could. Bacteria are all around us, including food, and sometimes they can be good for you. It’s confusing, but one thing is for sure ---- You can, however, learn how to avoid those bad germs in food.

Foods from animals, raw foods, and unwashed vegetables all can contain germs that cause food poisoning. The most likely source is food from animals, eggs, milk, and shellfish.

To avoid food poisoning, people need to prepare, cook, and store foods properly.

 

72.   What may mostly cause the food poisoning according to the passage?             

A. Growing bacteria in foods.             B. Eating foods which contain bad germs.

C. Eating foods from the fridge.          D. Eating meat.

73.  According to the passage, if you want to avoid food poisoning, you’d better ______.

   A. wash the foods from the fridge for a long time 

   B. store the foods which do not have bacteria in the fridge

   C. prepare enough foods to avoid bad germs in foods

   D. fully heat up the foods from the fridge even if they aren’t rotten

74. We can infer from the passage?                                            

   A. The solution to food poisoning is to get rid of all the bacteria.

   B. You don’t need to deal with all food poisoning seriously.

   C. It’s easy to find bacteria.

   D. Sometimes your mom or dad don’t care about you.

75. Which is the best title for the passage?                                      

   A. Food poisoning.                                B. What is food poisoning?

   C. Which germs are to blame?                D. You are what you eat.

Imagine your body is like the house you live in．Every day, your family creates rubbish．The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection．
Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected．You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week．The following week you put on another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week．But again, only two bags are collected．Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks．
This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys （腎臟）don't work efficiently．Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products．Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins．
It's not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms．There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection （診查）difficult．
Kidney's main job is to remove toxins（毒素） and unwanted water from our blood．Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood．Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no obvious pain．
Research shows that more than 35% of the patients requiring dialysis（透析）do not see a kidney specialist before they have to do so．Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make-up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage．Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes （糖尿�。゛nd high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades．Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercises, which are the potential (潛在的) risk factors for the kidney disease．
【小題1】The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that ______．

Tickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply on FIFA’s website. FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches. And now around 3.3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2014.

    Tickets will range in price from ￡58 for first-round matches to ￡632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for ￡15.

“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.”According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.

    All applications made before 10th October 2013 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests. The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made. The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.

    A study on the price of World Cup 2014 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between ￡46 and ￡797 a night, while packages range from ￡2,999 to ￡14,999.

讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分25分）

在全國“兩會”上，“農(nóng)村留守兒童” 問題成為人大代表和政協(xié)委員普遍關(guān)注的熱門話題之一。請閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

In China, with one or two parents going out to earn money, many children are left in their hometown in the countryside. These children are called “l(fā)eftover children”. A large number of leftover children have emerged since 1978, and the statistics showed in 2004, the total is 22 million.

Usually their grandparents or their parents’ friends or relatives look after these leftover children. Sometimes they are brought up by one of their parents at home. In most cases, their guardians are not quite educated. To them, making sure that the children are healthy and fed well is the most important task, and that the children are safe and sound is considered to have done a good job. But they seldom care about children’s study, their psychological needs, or mental demands. Neither do they spend  some time teaching kids how to develop good habits.

Therefore, for most of the time, the leftover children can’t get emotional support from their parents, which can result in so many problems.

[寫作內(nèi)容]

1. 以大約30個詞概括短文的內(nèi)容。

2. 然后以約120個詞就“如何關(guān)心農(nóng)村留守兒童（leftover children）的成長？”的主題發(fā)表看法，并包括如下要點：

1）農(nóng)村留守孩子存在的原因是什么。

2）你認為他們面臨的最大困難是什么。

3）解決留守孩子問題的關(guān)鍵是什么, 提出解決問題的措施。

[寫作要求]

1. 你可以使用實例或其他論述方法支持你的論點，也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，但不能直接引用閱讀材料的句子。

2. 題目自定。

[評分標準] 

概括準確、語言規(guī)范、內(nèi)容合適、篇章連貫。
