8、h hazard. The trend of the evidence has been consistent and indicates that there is a serious health risk. Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy.Cigarette smoking is believed by most research wo
9、rkers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat and is believed to be related to cancer of some other organs of the body. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males. Female smokers are tho
10、ught to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.Apart from statistics, it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, minute particles of ash and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is
11、powerful poison, and black tar. As smoke is breathed in, all those components form deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration is where the air tube and bronchus divides.

18、：1，分数：15.00)More Than a Ride to SchoolThe National Education Association claims, “The school bus is a mirror of the community.“ They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community.

20、o ride the same bus.This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus. She says, “Its been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when youre a child, adults do not think that what you have to say is importa
21、nt. Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important.“ Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree.Brace Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation. Company President
22、 Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardys outstanding record. “You do not come by employees like Bruce these days; he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record.

Better still, perhaps, is th
29、e practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation
30、“ of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the word in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it.I have come to t
31、hink, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing“ it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life“, and “a heightening (提升) of life“. It is “an approach to the t
32、ruth of feeling“, and it “can save your life“. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But
33、 those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.（分数：15.00）(1).To have a better understanding of a poem, one should _.A. discuss it with
34、 othersB. analyze it by oneselfC. copy it down in a notebookD. practice reading it aloud（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A. Extending your lifeB. Saving your lifeC. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the writer, on
35、e of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _.A. to understand lifeB. to enjoy poetryC. to become teachersD. to become poets（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetryB. Poetry is more important th
36、an any other subjectC. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The phrase “make room“ in the last paragraph could be best replaced by _.A. “build a booth“B. “provide equipment“C. “leave a cer

In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriends house, and we were watching a movie-a terribly romantic movie. He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she
38、 (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mothers purse, and she gave one to me. It was my first time.My parents didnt care much. They both smoked, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers dont grow tall, but I was
39、 already 56“ (taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “fact. In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were-well, they were beautiful and s
40、ophisticated (老于世故的).I read a book called How to Stop Smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what?“ I thought. The book didnt say that smoking can take away years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative eff
41、ects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didnt pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and I thought I was taking good care of myself.Then two events changed my mind. First, I star
42、ted to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didnt get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years ago, and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospit
43、al room, and I decided to quit. “NO more cigarettes, ever,“ I said to myself.However, it was very hard to stop. Nicotine (尼古丁) is a drug; as a result, Cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried several times to quit on my own-without success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep
44、my figure-i.e. I dont gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly. Im a free, liberated woman.
