Most people who work in London get a break of about an hour for lunch.  36  they mostly live too far from home to go back there  37  lunch, they have to  38  other arrangements for their midday meal.
Many large companies have a canteen (自助食堂) for their employees. In  39  canteens the food served is simple but  40 , and there is some  41  of choice. But the number of dishes 42 usually small. The employees themselves fetch their dishes  43  a counter at which they are 44. There they can find a tray on  45  to carry their knives, forks, spoons, plates, cups, saucers, 46, of course, their food. A meal in a canteen is inexpensive and may  47  of soup, fish and chips or meat and two vegetables,  48  fruit or pudding of some  49  as dessert. Some companies that do not run a canteen  50  their staff with luncheon-vouchers (午餐券), which many restaurants will accept in 51  of money.
As there are so many people  52  work in London, there are numerous cafes and restaurants in every area that is not purely residential. A meal  53  cost anything from a modest sum to quite a few pounds,  54  on the restaurant and the food chosen.  55 , one can generally get a meal, or at least a snack, in a pub. In recent years there has also been a big increase in the number of ‘take-away’ food shops of all kinds.

解析

小题1: B。 主句和从句是因果关系,应选择表示因果关系的连词,即"因为大多数人离家太远,所以他们被迫自己安排午餐"。as这里作"因为"讲。
小题1:A。 注意as引导从句的too...to结构,句意:“离家太远无法回家吃午饭”,选择介词for符合此意,go back for lunch“ 回家吃午饭”。
小题1:C。make arrangement for是固定搭配,意即:"对……作安排"。
小题1: A。 前面已经提及大公司餐厅,随即再介绍这些餐厅的情况,应该选择指示的形容词such“那样的,如此的”;如果选same,那么空格前应该有定冠词the,而且不符合上下文意思。
小题1: D but表示转折,所填词的意思与plain“简单的”相对。食堂里面供应的饭菜多虽比较简单,但还算充足。D项adequate"充足的"正确。
小题1:B。 variety of为固定搭配,意为"不同种类",在这里指就餐的人可以有不同的选择;A项difference用在这里指选择不同。而文章实质是强调有不同的饭菜可供选择,而并不是强调选择的不同。
小题1:B。 主语是number,谓语动词应使用第三人称单数。
小题1:D。 fetch…from… 意为“从……取……”,是指就餐的人从餐桌自己拿盘子。
小题1: B。 次空前的they指的是前文提到的employees, 此句用的是被动语态。就餐人员自己从餐桌取饭菜, 因此选择served。
小题1:A。 简单定语从句。tray意为“托盘”,就餐的人能在托盘上(on which)放
小题1:C 。and用于连接并列的宾语。空前列举的是餐具,空后列举的是食物,所列举的东西都是托盘上所放的东西。
小题1:A。 consist of为固定搭配,意为"由……组成"。餐厅里的食物不贵,而且有汤,鱼和土豆条或是肉和蔬菜。
小题1:B。 with fruit,即主食(meat and two vegetables)加上水果。
小题1:A。 此处of与名词连用,表示具有某种性质、状态,作后置定语,a pudding of some sort as dessert意为"作为饭后甜点的某种布丁"。some sort意为"某种"。
小题1: D。provide sb. with sth.意为“为某人提供什么东西”,没有餐厅的公司会为员工提供午餐券。
小题1:D。 in place of意为"代替",文中的意思是"用餐券代替现金"。
小题1:A。 at work为固定搭配,意为"在工作中的"。为介词短语作后置定语,修饰主语people。
小题1:B。 这里只表示一种可能性。因此选择may。一顿饭可能会花掉很少或很多的钱。
小题1:C。depending on除了表示"依赖于",此处表示"取决于",这里表示"取决于选择的饭店和食物"。
小题1: A。 后文说人们看在酒吧里也能吃顿小事。与前文在逻辑上表示递进关系,因此选择moreover“而且”。

Changsha,
Hunan Province
May 6, 2010
Dear editor,
Under China’s current educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.
But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奋的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically.
Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.
When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.
“ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”
The moral of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (学术) grades.
Yours,
Zhang Zishu

In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Soviet old people aren’t alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilacbambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long too.
These peoples 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 Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 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 has no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.” The very youngest estimate was age 60.
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 peoples. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remember his life experiences: the Grimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
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 5,000 to 12,000 feet (1,660 to 4,000 meters) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollutionfree. This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel 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 worried 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.
Finally, although these three groups don’t eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilacbambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.
It is clear that isolation from urban pressures and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.
小题1: What kinds of things contribute to the remarkable long life of these peoples?
A.Moderate dietsB.Clean mountain air.
C.Daily hard work.D.All the above factors(因素).
小题2: How do you think the author feels about these long-lived people?
A.He is impressed with themB.He doesn’t care.
C.He doesn’t like them.D.He admires them.
小题3:According to the passage, the phrase “the passage of time” means         .
A.have time to do what they wantB.being on time
C.time going byD.limited time
小题4:In the passage, why does the author describe Mr. Mamedov?
A.An example of a typical long life among these people.
B.An example of an unusual long life among these people.
C.An explanation of why he is still healthy.
D.An example of why his wife died early than him.
小题5:What is the main subject of this article?
A.Mr. Mamedov’s life.
B.A description of several societies where people live a long time.
C.Suggestions for how you can live long life.
D.People are healthy in mountainous regions.

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
   When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
   I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
   He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
小题1: Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A.He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B.He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C.He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D.He wants to use the words to test a person.
小题2:Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A.To see whether he was confident.
B.To see whether he was good at sports.
C.To see whether he was selfish or not.
D.To see whether he could get along with others.
小题3:During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A.played best all the timeB.was strong enough to play
C.was not confidentD.wanted to be the team leader
小题4: The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A.please (使满意)B.know aboutC.helpD.look for
