Ⅴ.阅读理解
Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 1130 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35 000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three hours. There do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everbody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. Instead, I am surprised at myself：I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to hi s long-lost love.
1．Tokyo is different from London in that________.
A．it has a larger population
B．there are more traffic jams
C．it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot
D．night clubs are sometimes empty
答案：C 从文章第二段第五句“Tokyo is not different from Londo n, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk”可以得出答案。
2．Japanese trains________.
A．often leave and arrive on time
B．are often crowded
C．are the main means people used to travel to and from work
D．all of the above
答案：D 从文章第五段可以得出答案。
3．Where can you find everybody reading a newspaper?
A．At most London train stations.
B．At most Tokyo train stations.
C．On a Tokyo train.
D．On a London train.
答案：D 从文章第五段第七句“On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper.”可以得出答案。
4．Fires break out________in Tokyo according to the writer.
A．quite frequently
B．only several times a day
C．not very often
D．very seldom
答案：A 从文章最后一段第二句“There fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day”可以看出答案。
5．Which of the following is NOT true about Tokyo?
A．The streets become more crowded at 1130 at night.
B．There are more trains than cars.
C．Fire-engines are very busy in the city.
D．Tokyo people are friendly.
答案：B 文章没有提及这个选项B，其他选项都可以从原文中找到答案。

Ⅰ.短文填空
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。
Parents and doctors have the same worry over especially low birthweight newborns. __1__A trend has therefore developed to make special formulas(配方)of extra nutrients and protein－rich foods for these tiny babies. Unfortunately, a British study has found that this practice could have negative long term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood.
Between 1993 and 1995, Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full－term newborns, each of whom weighed very little for their age. The babies' moms had decided not to breastfeed(用母乳喂养)．__2__The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for their first 9 months. __3__They found 83 babies from the normal－formula group,70 babies from the extra－formula group, and 95 babies from the breast fed group.
__4__According to the latest data, children who had received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressures than those in the other two groups.
Seven human test have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding, they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters.
No matter how big a child is at birth, he or she will probably reach the same adult height no matter how quickly the baby grows. But reaching one's adult size at a slow－to－moderate speed may have a lot of benefits, as Singhal says. __5__
A．Half of these children were given a normal infant(幼儿) formula for 9 months B．When they grow up, they might have high blood pressure.
C．These babies have very little energy because they are so small.
D．Six to eight years later, the researchers gave the children a series of measurements and tests.
E．The results were quite surprising.
F．Tiny babies will grow much slower if they are not specially fed.
G．His advice to parents：Be patient. Don't rush a child's growth.

The English Corner in Zhongshan Park is where people
1.________
go to practise their speaking English. Every Sunday afternoon
2.________
they gather around, talk to each other in English. Among
3.________
they are students, teachers, doctors, and so on. I first went to an
4.________
English Corner when I was in Junior Grade Two. I went there on
5.________
every Sunday and chat with some people in English. In the
6.________
past three years I had never been absent. I'm sure I've made
7.________
some progresses in my listening and speaking. And I have
8.________
made many friends there. The English Comer is really good
9.________
place. I hope that more friends will join in us.
10.________
答案：
1．此行无错。
2．把 speaking 改为 spoken。“英语口语”是 spoken English。
3．把 talk 改为 talking。用现在分词作伴随状语。
4．把 they 改为 them。人称代词作介词 among 的宾语，因此要用宾格。这是个倒装句，among them 是表语，主语是students, teachers…。
5．去掉 on。在every Sunday /week/ day 之类的时间状语前，不用介词。
6．把 chat 改为 chatted。chatted 与 went 并列，指最初去英语角的情况。
7．把had改为have。因为in the past/last few years常与现在完成时连用。
8．把progresses改为progress。因为 progress 是不可数名词，所以没有复数形式。
9．在is后加上a。后面的place是单数可数名词。
10．去掉join后面的in。join in是指参加某项活动(即以表示活动的名词用其宾语)；表示加入到某个组织并成为其中的一员，或与某人一起，要用join。
