2.A language holiday is a combination of"holiday"and study abroad to learn or improve a foreign language.English language holidays are taken in English-speaking countries like England,the USA or Australia.While there,you study in a language school with students from many different countries.You live with local people,often staying with a host family.A language holiday can be of any length-from one week to one year-but most are two or three weeks.
What are the Benefits of a Language Holiday?
Language holidays have become a very popular method of learning English because they have many advantages:
Total Exposure  Because you are in an English-speaking country,you are constantly exposed to English from the time you wake up and have breakfast with your host family until late evening and your last drink in a local pub.You have little or no opportunity to escape the English language.This is how you learn your own language-constant exposure.
Mixed Classes   When you study in your own country,all the other students in your class speak your language,so you are not forced to use English.On a language holiday,students come from countries all over the world.It is possible that nobody in your class will speak your language,so you will just have to speak English!
Freedom From Pressure   On a language holiday you are away from home and can forget the everyday pressures of school or business.Your mind is more relaxed and you can learn more easily.
Cultural Understanding   Learning a language is not only about learning words.Different nations have different cultures.People think and behave differently.Their language is closely associated with their culture.By visiting and living in a foreign country,you learn to understand the culture and the people-and so better understand the language.

12.To some,it's a dream job---eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them.But  for some food critics,their eyes aren't the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
Karen Fernau,a food writer for The Arisona Republic,said when she first started her job-she began to gain weight."I always looked forward to lunch before this job,then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day."she says.Nine years later,keeping her weight steady and her health intact (完好無損的)is a daily battle.If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal,she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day.Now she is always keeping track of what's in the food she eats and she says most people don't even look at or consider it.At one tasting task alone,she says,upward of l,000calories is often added to her day.That's about half of the recommended total  calories  per day for the average adult.
But even though she's thought of a special eating method,F(xiàn)ernau says sticking to it is a daily battle.And food editors,writers and critics across the country couldn't agree more."When I'm at home or not eating for work,it's healthy food to the extreme,"says Phil Vettel,who's been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19years.
Vettle,who eats dinner at four restaurants each week,says unlike most professions,he has no ight to choose."If I'm going out to eat,I can't choose the healthiest thing on the menu,I have to eat when they're bringing me."While Vettel exercises when he can,Joe Yonan,a food editor at The Washington Post,has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago.Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week,on top of his body training three to five times a week.
Still,it's a struggle that many Americans might envy.After all,it's one thing to get your calories from lobster(龍蝦) tails or a delicate(精致的)chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.

50.What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?D
A.The food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurant.
B.The food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feast.
C.There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from.
D.The food critics eat delicious food,which also tends to result in gaining weight.
51.What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?A
A.They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on them.
B.They only work for local magazines and newspapers.
C.Once they become food critics,they tend to stay in the job.
D.Their excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job..
52.What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?C
A.Not eating anything except for the free meals.
B.Writing down everything they put into their mouth.
C.Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions.
D.Choosing only the healthy food on  the menu.
53.What can we infer from the last paragraph?C
A.No matter whether the food is expensive or not,the gaining of calories  is the same.
B.The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful.
C.Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food.
D.Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully.
54.What's the main idea of the passage?D
A.Ajob offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be.
B.Dishes in the restaurant usually contain too many calories.
C.Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight.
D.Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight.

14.French surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant(移植)---giving a new nose,chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.
Specialists from two French hospitals carried out the operation on a 38-year-old woman on Sunday in the northern city of Amiens by taking the face from a brain-dead woman,who had hanged herself just hours before the operation.Her family agreed on the operation.
"The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,"the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.
The woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last May,and was unable to talk or chew properly.Such injuries are"extremely difficult,if not impossible"to repair using normal surgical techniques,the statement said.
The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered,but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face.
The operation was led by Jean-Michel Dubernard,a specialist from a hospital in Lyon who has also carried out hand transplants.
Skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries,but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the area's high sensitivity(敏感) to foreign tissue.
Teams in France,the United States and Britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a reality
There was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked,a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.
Experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated,the transplant had thrown up moral(道德的)and ethical(倫理的)issues.Little is known about the psychological effect of the transplant.
28.The best title for the passage would beA.
A.French Woman has First Partial Face Transplant
B.First Face Transplant Opens Debate
C.Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant
D.A Complete Face Transplant of a French Woman
29.Why did the woman need such an operation?A
A.Her face had been bitten by a dog   B.Her face had been burnt in a fire.
C.She was born especially ugly      D.She wanted to test such an operation.
30.The underlined word"resemble"meansD.
A.to remember forever         B.to recognize immediately
C.to set as an example         D.to present similarity or likeness to
31.What can we learn about the operation?B
A.The woman had used the dead woman's whole face.
B.There has arisen(引起) a debate about the operation.
C.The woman will suffer from psychological damage soon.
D.Such transplants have been performed by doctors.
32.Which of the following is NOT one of the risks of the operation?C
A.Block of blood vessels.B.Organ rejection
C.Heart damage.D.Side effect of the drugs.

11.In the Caucasus region of Russia,nearly 50out of every 100,000people live to celebrate their 100th birthday,and many don't stop at 100!By comparison,in America only 3people in 100,000reach 100.But these Russian old people aren't alone.The Pakistanis,who live high in the Himalaya Mountains,and the Ecuadorans of the Andes Mountains seem to share the secret of long life,too.
These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time.While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s,some Caucasians aged 100to 140,work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren.Even the idea of aging is foreign to them.When asked"at what age does youth end?"most of these old people had no answer.Several replied,"Well,perhaps at age 80."
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well?First of all,hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people.They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop.For example,Mr.Rustam Mamedov is 142years of age.His wife is 116years old.They have been married for 90years.Mr.Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer."Why?What else would I do?"he asks.All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work.They all come from mountainous regions.They live and work at elevations of 1,660to 1,000meters above sea level.The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free.This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel(血管) system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation.To a great extent,they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.Inherited factors also play some role.Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages.Good family genes may,therefore,be one factor in living longer.
56.The example of Mr.a(chǎn)nd Mrs.Mamedov implies that some Caucasians aged 100 to 140C.
A.become weak and hopeless             
B.a(chǎn)re too old to work in the fields
C.benefit from physical work             
D.a(chǎn)re still working in the fields
57.What is the main way of life for all of these long-lived people?C
A.Retiring from their lives as farmers.
B.Having been married for 90years.
C.Hard physical work.
D.Having no intentions.
58.Which of the following factors isn't helpful to people's health and long life?D
A.Clean mountain air.
B.Daily hard work.
C. Good genes             
D. Stress and pressure.
