17、e ticket to the festival.Leeds Festival is a large music festival which takes place at Branham Park. It takes place towards the end of August, and thousands of people attend each year. There were several different stages, each suitable for a different music taste. As well as the great music on offer
18、, there were also funfair rides, food outlets and a silent disco, amongst other things. I love silent discos: everyone has a set of headphones with two channels and music is played through the headphones.

24、nge in eating habits. And what we eat can be a product of culture, personal taste, price and ease.David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected healthHe noted a movement beginni
25、ng in the 1960sHe found that as nations 6industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meatBy eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sickerDavid Tillman says overwei
26、ght people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes and heart disease Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in AsiaChina is an example where the number of
27、 diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent t0 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year periodAnd that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on And, a diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environmentAs th
28、e worlds population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for grazing cattleThese areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food. More greenhouse gas are likely to be released in the future from agriculture because of this dietary shift than
29、 all the greenhouse gas that right now comes out of all the cars, and all of the planes, boats and ships, all forms of transportationSo the change in diet is likely to be worse for the world for climate warming than all the transportation sources. Mr. Tillman calls the link between diet, the environ
30、ment and human health, “a trilemma.“ This a play on the word “a dilemma“: a problem offering a difficult choiceHe says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The westerns should change their living habit. B. The western diet is not w
31、orth recommending.C. People should try their best to exercise regularly. D. The spread of Western diet may affect price.29. The forms of transportation mentioned in the passage intend to .A.

32、d for the change of the diet7C. Stress that more measures should be taken to control the use of themD. Require that people should try their best to change their life style30.

33、sferred from dilemma D. a method to deal with problems31. What is the writing style of the passage? A. Compare and evaluate B. Examine and assessC. Argue and discuss D. Inform and explainDMost kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, E
34、urope and the United States. In 1986, Congress chose the rose as Americas national flower. Technically, Congress and President Ronald Reagan declared it the “national floral emblem.” Whatever the name, the decision did not smell sweet to lovers of other flowers.Some people say roses are difficult to
35、 grow. But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts. You can buy roses form a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted roses, also known as container roses, or bare-root plants. Each kind has its fans. Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to
36、plant. They say the roots develop better. But bare-root roses come without soil, making them weigh less to transport. Another expert advises getting bare-foot roses as close to planting time as you can. You should plant your roses where they can get sunshine or about six hours on bright days. If the
37、y arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is moist. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water. When growing roses, the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning. In normal conditions,
38、 placing mulch around rose plants is a good idea. Mulch suppresses weeds and holds moisture in the soil. You can use mulch made from grasses or leaves. If your soil is very dry, you can add soil and compost，which returns 8nutrients to the soil. If aphids or other insects invade your bushes, you may
39、be able to force them off with just a strong spray of water.32. What information can we get from Paragraph one?A. All roses originated from Asia. B. Roses are difficult to grow in Europe.C.

41、 roses. B. Where to grow roses.C. How to grow roses. D. When to plant roses.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to Overcome Shyness and Make FriendsWhen you are shy, making friends can be difficult. 36 Try taking these four steps if you want to overcome shyness and make friends.Practice silence and deep breath
