Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat. There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food together, you will be given enough energy during the day. It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to. But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly. Watching what you eat will help your body remain healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health. 56. Which of the following diets do you think is the best one? A. Corn, fish, cream and pork.                B. Eggs, tomatoes and chicken. C. Milk, bread, cabbages and beef.                D. Milk, bread, and chicken. 57. Which of the following is a good eating habit? A. Going to school without any breakfast.                                      B. Finishing your lunch in a very short time. C. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time.                                      D. Having at least one food from all four groups in each meal. 58. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that ______. A. every person needs food to grow well B. taking exercise can keep your body strong C. enough energy helps people think more quickly D. right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthy        59. The underlined word “dairy” in the second paragraph means ______. A. a farm where cows are kept B. the shop that sells milk and butter                                      C. a place where milk products are made D. the food made out of cows such as milk and butter B You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their dialogue: “I can’t believe it — Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful? And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.” They leave and you go over to see this unbelievable sweater. It’s nice and the price is right. You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish(时髦的). They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes. Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation — consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It’s a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t believe in ads. So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.” It is true, because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. However, you don’t know when a dialogue you overhear(偷听) is just a performance.  60. The two attractive young women were talking so as to ______. A. get the sweater at a lower price                    B. be heard by people around C. be praised by other shoppers                    D. decide on buying the sweater 61. Lorenzo Bertolla is ______. A. the brand name of clothes                    B. an advertising agency C. a clothing company in Rome                  D. a very popular male singer 62. What can we infer from the passage? A. Traditional advertising’s effectiveness is increasing.        B. The MTV generation tends to believe all kinds of ads. C. Undercover marketing will surely be stopped soon by the government. D. That traditional advertising is too direct may lead to its decreasing effectiveness. 63. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Two Attractive Shoppers.                      B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters.    C. Undercover Marketing.                         D. How to buy things.                                         C City College Union Inc Secretary/Typist The Union is a student-run organization with a permanent staff of 20. Typing speed of at least 60 wpm. The ability to take shorthand dictation (速记) is required. The basic salary for the position is $ 18,500 per year.

If you want to be a sewing machine operator, you may contact this company by _____.       A. phone                B. email                C. visit                D. fax D In the computer age，most of us think a broadband（宽带）Internet connection to be common. Whether wired or wireless，today's connections are many times faster. Videos play smoothly；complex websites load quickly；and the files are much bigger too. But there's still a catch，of course. You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don't，it's slow for you to use dial-up connection. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet connection at all. Technology experts often talk about, the "last mile" problem，which refers to the difficulty of making Internet available for remote places. It is much more difficult to deliver connection to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries. Internet service providers，for their part，have been unwilling to provide connection to areas with smaller population，where the Internet users wouldn’t cover the expense. But every year，technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere. Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper，more efficient fiber optics cables（光纤电缆）promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still，the“last mile" problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication（迹象），it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go. 67. What would be the best title for the text?     A. Rapid progress in cell phone technology        B. The "last mile" problem C. A broadband Internet connection            D. The difficulty with Internet 68. The underlined part "a catch"（in Paragraph 2）probably means ______． A. a hidden problem    B. a good service      C. a possible way    D. a good challenge        69. From paragraph 4 we can learn that technological advancements ______． A. bring faster Internet connections to users B. bring great changes to people's everyday life C. make TV and telephone available everywhere     D. make it possible for remote people to use the Internet 70. What may finally settle the“last mile" problem? A. More and more Internet users.        B. The speed of the broadband Internet. C. More and more Internet connections.  D. The rapid progress in cell phone technology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US.
