二、完型填空

Shortly after my daughter Julia-Ann was born, I started a loving tradition that I know others （with whom I have subsequently shared this special plan）have also started. Every year, on her 26 ,I write an Annual Letter to my daughter. I 27 it with funny Anecdotes（轶事；趣闻）that happened to her that yea r, hardships or 28 , issues that are 29 in my life or hers, world events, my 30 for the future, miscellaneous （各种各样的）thoughts, etc. I add 31 the letter photographs, presents, report cards and many 32 types of mementos （纪念品）that would certainly have otherwise 33 as the years passed.

I keep a 34 in my desk drawer in which, all year long, I place things that I want to 35 in the envelope containing her next Annual Letter. Every week, I make short notes of what I can think 36 from the week’s events that I will want to 37 later in the year to write in her Annual Letter. 38 her birthday approaches, I take out that folder and find it 39 with ideas, thoughts, poems,cards, treasures, stories, incidents and memories of all sorts —marry of which I have already forgotten —and 40 I then 41 transcribe（抄写）into that year’s Annual Letter.

Once the letter is written and all the 42 are inserted into the envelope, I seal it. It then becomes that year’s Annual Letter. On the envelope I always write "Annual Letter to Julia-Ann from her daddy on the 43 of her birthday to be opened when she is 21 years old." It is a time capsule of love from every different year of her life, to her as an adult. It is a gift of 44 memories from one generation to the next.

Ⅱ.阅读理解

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat？Why do they use pig and pork，cow and beef，and sheep and mutton？

To find out，we have to go back to 1066，when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位)，which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result，French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language. However，poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo-Saxon.

The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language.Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.

Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words！Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English；only the pronunciations change. Other words such as ballet or a la carte(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.

In French grammar，nouns have either a male or female gender，so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this，and it came from French.The word blond describes someone with light-colored hair. Blond is used for men，and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns.

Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase a la mode means “in style”．In English，the phrase means “with ice cream”．Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style! Now，as you learn English，you’re on your way to learni ng French! 46．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because ________. A．too many French moved to Britain B．French brought animals with them

C．the king and his officials spoke French D．the king allowed French to be spoken 47．Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1?

A．Adopted. B．Kept. C．Introduced. D．Deserted.

48 ．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?

A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.

B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.

C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.

D．Because English has great influences on the French language.

49．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that ________.

A．no words have the same pronunciations B．all words have the same pronunciations C．English nouns have a male or female gender

D．French nouns have different adjective forms

50．What conclusion can we draw from the text?

A．Language is closely related to history and culture.

B．French and English words have nothing in common.

C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.

D．English combines French and the native Anglo-Saxon.

CHICAGO （Reuters）- Smoking not only can wrinkle （起皱纹）the face and tarn it yellow—it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday．

The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body—even skin protected from the sun．

"We examined non - facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," Dr．Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement．"In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers．Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich "s team added in their report．

The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms．They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers．Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person' s skin was．

When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich ' s team wrote．

Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature （过早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light．

The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels （血管）beneath the skin to constrict （紧缩）, reducing blood supply to the skin．

Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both die skin and the internal organs,．

51．When your skin is exposed to sunlight long, it-becomes all of the following but _____．A．flexible B．coarse C．rough D．discolored

52．How wrinkled a person's skin is doesn't relate to _____．

A．the number of cigarettes a person smokes．B．the kind and characteristics of skin C．how long a person smokes D．how long skin is under sunlight 53．From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because _____.

A．it will lower blood supply to skin B．it can make you feel tired

C．it can make skin come off D．it can make blood run faster

54．The main purpose of the passage is to _____．

A．inform people about the result of the study B．advise people how to protect skin C．warn people not to smoke again D．introduce a new way of avoid skin aging
