8. According to an old story，a farmer once found that a bag of corn had been stolen from his house.He went to the judge and told him about the loss.The judge ordered all the people of the farm to come before him.He took a number of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each man.He then said，“Come before me again tomorrow.I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief is one inch longer than the others.” The thief was afraid of being found out，and so he cut an inch off his stick.The next day the thief’s stick was found to be one inch shorter than any of the others.In this way the thief was found out，and at once taken to prison.

—No，        . A.I’d rather not       B.I’d rather you not

C.I’d rather you didn’t      D.I’d like not to

解析：本题考查情景交流用语。I’d rather not是I’d rather not open the window的省略句，意思是“我不愿开窗”。I’d rather后不跟you not结构，B项语法不正确。I’d rather后可跟从句，从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时态，所以选项C为正确答案。

答案：C

25.I would rather you            with us yesterday，but you left.

A.had stayed        B.stay

A.to swim;to swim       B.swimming;to swim

C.to swim;swimming      D.swimming;swimming

解析：本题考查动名词与不定式的比较。前者表示抽象、笼统的概念，后者多指具体的某次形式，故第一空使用动名词，第二空使用不定式。

答案：B

35.—The boss will offer me a pay rise.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，共40分)

A

In some parts of the United States，farming is easy.But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country，which is called New England.?

New England has many trees and thin，rocky soil(多石土壤).Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard.The first job has been cutting down the trees.The second job has been digging out the roots(根)of the trees.Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing(移走)stones from his land.This work of removing stones never really ends，because every winter more stones appear.They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below.Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields.Even today，farms which have been worked on for two hundred years still keep producing more stones.That is why stone walls are used instead of fences in New England fields.The stone walls are not high and a man can easily climb over them.However，they keep the farmer’s cows from joining those of his neighbours’.

判断下列句子正误:

56.The most difficult job for the farmers is digging out the roots of the trees.

57.Stones keep appearing because the farmers need stones to build walls.

58.New England lies in the northeastern corner of England.

59.The farmers build stone walls，not fences because it is easier to build stone walls.

60.In New England one can usually find trees and thin rocky soil.

56.解析：从 “Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing(移走)stones from his land”可知本句表述错误。

答案：F

57.解析：从“because every winter more stones appear.They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below”可知本句表述错误。

答案：F

58.解析：从“But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country，which is called New England”可知本句表述错误。

答案：F

59.解析：从“farms which have been worked on for two hundred years still keep producing more stones”可知石头的资源是源源不断，用石头比较方便。

答案：F

60.解析：从“New England has many trees and thin，rocky soil(多石土壤)”可知本句表述正确。

答案：T

B

LONDON(Reuters)—Organic fruit，delivered right to the doorstep.That is what Gabriel Gold prefers，and he is willing to pay for it.If this is not possible，the 26?year old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.?

“Organic product is always better,”Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides(农药),and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not that it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.But how many shoppers really know what they are getting，and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market ?research? shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example，small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口)to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market,”said Sue Flock，a specialist in this line of business.

61.More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because         .

A.they are getting richer

B.they can get the food anywhere

C.they consider the food free of pollution

D.they like home-grown fruit

62.Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic products sold in Britain?

A.It grows indoors all year round.

B.It is produced outside Britain.

C.It is grown on family farms.

D.It is produced on large farms.

63.What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?

A.Growing interest in organic food.

B.Better quality of organic food.

C.Rising market for organic food.

D.Higher prices of organic food.

64.What is the best title for this news story?

A.Organic Food-Healthy，or Just for the Wealthy?

B.The Making of Organic Food in Britain

C.Organic Food-to Import or Not?

D.Good Qualities of Organic Food

61.解析：从Gold所说的话“Organic product is always better.The food is free of pesticides，and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms”可以判断出，人们喜欢organic food(绿色食物)是因为它们没有受到农药的污染。

答案：C

62.解析：第二段中“And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not ?local? but imported”说明英国的绿色食物大部分是进口的，即在英国的国外(outside Britain)生产的。

答案：B

63.解析：根据短文最后Sue Flock所说的话“The demand for organic food is ?increasing? by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market”可以判断出，由于人们对organic food越来越感兴趣，使其需求越来越大。

答案：A

64.解析：人们越来越重视自己所吃的食物，由于绿色食品中不含有农药，所以越来越受到人们的青睐。绿色食品的需求量每年以三分之一的速度上升，这使得绿色食品市场成为快速增长的市场，销售人员由此获得大量财富。所以，“Organic food—Healthy，or Just for the Wealthy?”是比较恰当的题目。

答案：A

C

Although more and more people are exercising regularly，experts note that eating right is also a key to good health.Nutritionists recommend(推荐)the “food pyramid” for a simple guide to eating the proper foods.At the base of the food pyramid are grains and fiber.You should eat six to eleven servings of bread，cereal，rice，and paste every day.Next up the pyramid are vegetables and fruits; five to nine daily servings from this group are recommended.The next pyramid level is the dairy group.Two or three servings a day for milk，yogurt，or cheese help maintain good nutrition. Moving up the pyramid，the next level is the meat，fish，beans，eggs，and nuts group，of which everyone should eat only three servings a day.At the very top of the pyramid are fats，oils，and sweets; these foods should be eaten only infrequently.?

You don’t have to shop in health food stores to follow the guidelines.One easy way to plan menus that follow the food pyramid is shop only in the outer aisles of the grocery store.In most supermarkets，fresh fruits and vegetables，dairy，fresh meat and frozen foods are in the outer aisles of the store.Grains，like paste，rice，bread，are located on the next aisles，the first inner rows.Finally，the farthest inside of the store is where you’ll find chips and snacks，cookies and pastries，soda pop and drink mixes.These are the kinds of foods that nutritionists say everyone should eat rarely，if at all.If you stay in the outer aisles of the grocery store，you won’t be tempted to buy foods you shouldn’t eat，and you will find a wide variety of healthy foods to choose from.Another benefit of shopping this way is that grocery shopping takes less time.

65.A good title for this article would be         .

A.How to Shop in a Health Food Store

B.How to Shop Efficiently

C.How to Shop for Healthy Food

D.How to Cook Healthy Food

66.According to the food pyramid，people should        .

A.eat more grains than meat

B.never eat fats and sweets

C.mostly eat meat only with vegetables

D.rarely eat bread and other starches

67.According to the passage，on the inside aisles of the grocery store you will find        .

A.cleaning products

B.dog and cat food

C.wine and beer

D.chips and snacks

68.In order to follow the main advice in the passage，it would be most helpful to know       .

A.where to buy a copy of the “The Food Pyramid”

B.whether rice has more calories than paste

C.which supermarket the author is referring to
