Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before    26  every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never    27  . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and
fatty food,    28  . She weighted herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a    29   sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking,   30   he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile    31   his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.
“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he    32  very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the    33   of a happy old age.”
“I hope you don’t    34   me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do    35   I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for   36  ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was    37  . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did    38   wrong. She thought he should be    39   and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life    40   eating well or doing lots of exercise.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

【主旨大意】本文講述一個(gè)注重飲食健康、也愛好晨煉的女孩見到一個(gè)"老人"，年齡雖大，看起來卻很快樂的。通過交談得知，這位不注重飲食和鍛煉的"老人"卻只有47歲。
小題1: B由時(shí)間狀語"every morning"及常識可知，她是在每天早飯前進(jìn)行散步五公里。
小題1: B第一段中介紹Alicia健康的生活方式和飲食習(xí)慣，所以這一句的意思是"她不吸煙也不喝酒"。
小題1: C either用于否定句句末;too用于肯定句句末;also用于肯定句句中。故選C。
小題1: A從下文的描述可知，he is a man。
小題1: B由上文：他看起來又瘦又弱，并且手一直在晃動(dòng)，與后文的"happy"形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題1:D on one’s face在某人的臉上，是固定詞組。
小題1: B look系動(dòng)詞，看起來，old and wise 做系動(dòng)詞look的表語。句意"他看起來年紀(jì)很大而且很博學(xué)。
小題1: A從下文"but what is your secret for being so happy at your age?" 可以判斷用secret。
小題1: B句意：我希望你不要介意我的提問。mind sb.doing sth.介意某人做某事。stand意為"忍受、站立"， allow 意為"允許"，enjoy意為"享受"，這三項(xiàng)都不符合句意。
小題1: A 【句意：我希望當(dāng)我在你這個(gè)年齡時(shí)。when 當(dāng)……時(shí)候，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句；since后面一般跟"過去時(shí)間"；"for+時(shí)間段"往往用于完成時(shí)； though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。
小題1: C根據(jù)上一段第二句話"what’s your secret for being so happy at your age?"可以看出是"快樂的秘密"。happy的名詞形式為happiness.故選C。
小題1: A由下文兩句話可知，對于"老人"的回答，她很驚奇。
小題1: C詞義辨析。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中這位老人說的話，可以知道Alicia 認(rèn)為他做的每一件事都對身體不好。
小題1: D Alicia認(rèn)為這位老人的這種生活方式、飲食習(xí)慣會使他生病或不高興。angry 生氣的，serious嚴(yán)肅的，quiet 安靜的，sick生病的。
小題1: C  Alicia以為他90歲左右，她誤以為不用吃的很好或不用進(jìn)行很多的鍛煉就能夠生活長壽、快樂。

Angela Chang (張韶涵) didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career (事業(yè)). She went to many different record companies. But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.
“I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.
She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.
“You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can’t forget it.”
But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired (解雇). Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene (一場戲) right.
“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”
Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings (隱形的翅膀). They fly me to the skies and give me hope.”
小題1:The phrase “turned down” in the first paragraph means “______”.
A．承認(rèn)B．拒絕C．開除D．雇用
小題2: Many record companies refused to co-operate (合作) with her because ______.
A．she looks very commonB．she is too young
C．she doesn’t sing very wellD．she looks young and small
小題3: Although acting is difficult for her, she never gives up because ______.
A．she is strong-mindedB．people like her films
C．she is interested in actingD．she acted in the popular TV plays
小題4:Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
A．The Small Girl.B．Four Albums.
C．I have a Pair of Invisible Wings.D．A Poor Actress.
