Directions：Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

Riding was the favourite activity of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third President of the United States. He usually rode good horses.

One day, he was riding outside Washington, when a jockey (赛马师) came near. He did not know the President, but his professional eye was attracted by Mr. Jefferson’s horse. He stopped and said that he wanted to buy the horse, but Mr. Jefferson politely refused his offer.

The jockey offered more money for the horse, because the closer he looked at the horse, the more he liked it. All of his offers were refused, which made him angry. He then became rude, but his rudeness left as little an impression as his money, for Jefferson had a very good temper. At last, he hit Mr. Jefferson’s horse with his whip, getting it to run suddenly. This would have thrown a less skillful rider to the ground, but Jefferson stayed on his seat, and controlled his horse well.

The jockey then gave up. He rode with Mr. Jefferson side by side and began to talk with him about politics. Jefferson joined in the conversation. When they got into the city and came close to the gate of the presidential mansion (总统府), Mr. Jefferson stopped, and politely invited the man to enter.

The jockey was surprised and asked, “Why? Do you live here?”

“Yes” was the simple reply.

“Why, stranger, what’s your name?”

“My name is Thomas Jefferson.”

Embarrassed, the man quickly left, while the President looked at him with a smile and then rode through the gate.

PART THREE　　 READING　 PREHENSION　 （共15小题；每小题 2分，满分30分）

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

A

With school out and hot weather in, it’s not unusual for youngsters to gather around the refrigerator or the television rather than take part in active play. Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.

“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers（引发）eating,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas. “A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s important to recognize the difference between boredom（无聊）and hunger.”

Because children may be adjusting（适应）to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with the television turned off,” says Thomas. “This way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”

If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available（可得到的）and easy to reach, says Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable（合情理的）daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”

In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More importantly, if a sugary snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more energetic and stay on the go.”

1.What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?

A. Giving them a daily schedule.

B. Giving them a lot of snacks.

C. Preventing them from watching TV.

D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.

2.What kind of snacks should we give children?

A. Fruit juice.

B. Frozen fruit.

C. Canned vegetables.

D. Snacks rich in sugar.

3.Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because _______.

A. they help children lose weight

B. they help children get necessary nutrition

C. they stop children from getting bored

D. they make children active and energetic

4.We can infer from the text that _______.

A. it’s hard to tell the difference between boredom and hunger

B. children may get bored for lack of routine in summer

C. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TV

D. nutritious snacks should be available at any time

5.The underlined word “wreck” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.

A. improve　 　　 B. change　　　　 C. ruin　 　　 D. include
