The joke spread, and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam.Before long, people called all things that came from the government "Uncle Sam"."Uncle Sam" became a nickname for the US government.

Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers.In these early pictures, Uncle Sam was a young man.He wore stars and stripes, but his hair was dark and he had no beard.The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President.President Lincoln had a beard.

The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster from World War I.The government needed men to fight in the war.In the poster, a very serious Uncle Sam points his finger and says "I want YOU for the US Army."

The United States still doesn't let most Americans without ties to Cuba visit the island or send in money.But the change, announced Monday by the Obama administration, was among the most significant openings in the half-century of hostilities between the two countries.

During the Bush administration, Americans with immediate family members on the island could visit once every three years and send up to $100 a month to their families.

Now, there are no limits to travel or expense, and the definition of family is expanded to include relatives as distant as second cousins, as well as anyone else who lives as "family" in the home of the authorized traveler.

根據(jù)以下資料，回答下面試題。

People need to be active to be healthy.Our modem lifestyle and all the conveniences we've become used to have made us sitting much of the time - and that's dangerous for our health.Sitting around in front of the TV or the computer, riding in the car for even a short trip to the store and using elevators instead of stairs, all contribute to our inactivity.Physical inactivity is as dangerous to our health as smoking!

Add up your activities during the day in periods of at least 10 minutes each.Start slowly ...and build up.If you're already doing some light activities move up to more moderate ones.A little is good, but more is better if you want to achieve health benefits.

Scientists say add up 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy or improve your health.Time needed depends on effort - as you progress to moderate activities, you can cut down to thirty minutes, four days a week.

Physical activity doesn't have to be very hard to improve your health.This goal can be reached by building physical activities into your daily routine.Just add up in periods of at least ten minutes each throughout the day.After three months of regular physical activity, you will notice a difference - people often say getting started is the hardest part.

(From Handbook for Canada's Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living p.4.Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, Ottawa, Ontario, 1998)

答案：B

解析： 第三段，科學(xué)家說(shuō)每天的運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)間疊加起來(lái)60分鐘會(huì)使你保持健康或改善你的健康。運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)短依據(jù)你的努力。

根據(jù)以下資料，回答下面試題。

The winter in Iceland has been one of the worst ever.An animal that was born in Iceland and just returned there has enjoyed the weather.Keiko is a killer whale who is now living in a hidden bay.

When Keiko was one or two years old, he was captured.This was in 1979.In 1982 he was moved to an amusement part in Ontario, Canada.Three years later another park took him to Mexico City.There, the 6.4-meter (21-foot) whale lived in a small pen with water that was too warm.In1993 the "Free Willy" movie made people aware of his state.In 1996 the Free Willy Keiko Foundation moved him to a pool in an aquarium in Newport, Oregon.

The foundation has spent over $12 million to return Keiko to Iceland, his home.Late last year the 40,000-pound (18,100-kilogram) whale was flown on a C-17 transport plane to pen near the Wesman Islands.

Critics thought Keiko would suffer in the cold water.Instead, he is enjoying the cold and becomes more active.He likes to jump out of the water to get sprayed by the salt spray.Since his return, he acts more like a wild whale.He dives more often, eats more live fish, and is more active.

Keiko still isn't ready to go out alone into the open sea.Trainers hope to put him in a larger bay.They also hope to train him to follow a boat.They don't know what Keiko will do when he meets other sea animals.So far the only animals who have come near Keiko's cage left when they saw him.

They would like to let Keiko free this summer.No one knows if he will be ready.If he isn't, the Keiko Foundation is ready to take care of him.It will cost about $1 million a year.

48.Critics thought that Keiko would __________.

A. die from the cold water in Iceland

B. be happy to return home

C. want to be free

D. be less active

答案：A

解析：這是一篇講一頭殺傷力很強(qiáng)的鯨魚(yú)回到冰島海域生活的情景。從第四段可知，評(píng)論員們以為鯨魚(yú)會(huì)受不了寒冷。然而事實(shí)卻相反，鯨魚(yú)在那里生活得很愉快。

49.Keiko has __________.

A. enjoyed being with other sea animals

B. killed other sea animals that have come into his pen

C. had limited contact with other sea animals

D. is ready to go to the open sea

答案：C

解析： 倒數(shù)第二段。鯨魚(yú)還是不想單獨(dú)到寬闊的大海里去。訓(xùn)鯨員想知道如果遇到其他的海洋動(dòng)物它會(huì)怎么做。由此可見(jiàn)這頭鯨魚(yú)很少與其他的海洋動(dòng)物接觸。

50.This summer trainers hope to __________.

A. give Keiko a freedom in the wild

B. immediately set him free

C. move him to another aquarium

D. still keep him in the cage

答案：A

解析： 參見(jiàn)最后一段。訓(xùn)鯨員準(zhǔn)備在夏天的時(shí)候給它自由。但不知它是否已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。

51.IfKeiko can't adjust to the wild, the foundation __________.

A. will set him free anyway

B. will bring him back to the United States

C. will take care of him for the rest of his life

D. won't be able to take care of him

答案：C

解析： 參見(jiàn)最后一段。如果鯨魚(yú)不能適應(yīng)自然的環(huán)境，Keik0的基金會(huì)會(huì)以每年一百萬(wàn)美元的花費(fèi)來(lái)照看它。那就意味著照看它終生，而不把它放回大自然。

根據(jù)以下資料，回答下面試題。

Many people catch a cold in the springtime and/or fall.It makes us wonder., if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold.The answer is easy.There are literally hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there.You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it.Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion with it.You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually "eating" the virus.Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus.You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells.You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

Different people have different remedies for colds.In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better.Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids.Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose.

There is one interesting thing to note--some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it.Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold.It goes like this:

If takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

52.The reason that scientists cannot cure a common cold is __________.

A. we don't know how we get cold

B. we aren't sure the exact kind of cold viruses

C. we don't know when we will catch cold

D. we aren't sure the exact scientific method

答案：B

解析：這篇文章主要講的是藥物對(duì)感冒的作用。第一段講到，人們提出一個(gè)疑問(wèn)，科學(xué)家都能讓人類上月球，為什么就不能治愈感冒呢?因?yàn)?，感冒的病毒成千上萬(wàn)而我們又不能確定患的是哪種病毒引起的感冒，所以無(wú)法治療。

53.When we catch cold, how does our body work hard?

A. Our runny nose stops our breat

B. Our temperature rises to make us feel miserabl

C. Our blood rushes into our cell

D. Our nose, fever, and blood work together to kill viru

答案：D

解析： 第二段說(shuō)明我們身體自身的保護(hù)能力。流鼻涕、發(fā)燒都是為了殺死病毒。

54.Scientists say when we catch cold, __________.

A. taking medicine

B. seeing a doctor

C. leaving it to your body

D. making a joke to your friend

答案：C

解析： 第三段接著說(shuō)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為感冒吃藥實(shí)際上對(duì)身體有害，所以，還是讓自身的能力去與病毒斗爭(zhēng)吧。

55.The joke means taking medicine __________.

A. is better than not taking it

B. needs longer time to recover

C. is the same with no medicine

D. has no effect

答案：C

解析： 參見(jiàn)最后一段。所以有這么一個(gè)笑話：感冒時(shí)，如果你不吃藥，得需要整整一周才能恢復(fù);但如果你吃藥，7天就好了。所以，吃不吃藥都一樣。而吃了藥反而會(huì)對(duì)身體不好，所以是有影響的。

五、補(bǔ)全對(duì)話(共5句，每句滿分為3分，共15分)

根據(jù)中文提示，將對(duì)話中缺少的內(nèi)容寫在橫線上，這些句子必須符合表達(dá)習(xí)慣。打句號(hào)的地方，用陳述句;打問(wèn)號(hào)的地方，用疑問(wèn)句。

根據(jù)下面選項(xiàng)回答下面試題：

D.There isn’t a cloud in the sky
