Isn’t fast food delicious? Aren’t fast food restaurants cool? ... The answer to these questions is yes.

However, there are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life.And studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken, which we enjoy so much, can cause a lot of health problems.

In spite of (尽管)this, why are fast food restaurants so attractive(吸引人的)? The first and most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff(员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their clean and bright uniforms(制服). Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people always pass by. It is so easy to grab a burger and eat on the way to work.

Fast food is often so conveniently packed(包装方便) that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads(广告) have made them the coolest places in town, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.

Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity? Is there a way to change the fast food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food?

Well, why not?

As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date. It may happen sooner or later.

Therefore, instead of resisting(抵制) fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade(说服)them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could combine(结合) healthy food with their speed of service, delicious tastes and comfortable feelings, that will be the next best thing on the earth for the human beings!

We see humans all around us. But when was the first human seen? Early humans did not leave behind any written records. However, they left behind many paintings on the walls of the caves(洞穴) where they lived. These paintings tell about their life, and we know these early humans walked on four limbs(四肢) like apes（猿）. Also, they did not live at one place but moved from place to place in search of food and water.

Without any tools, early humans used stones, bones of animals, and sharp pieces of wood to dig, hunt and cut their food. They also used these to protect themselves from animals. Since stones were used to make tools, this age was called Stone Age.

With time going, tools made of bones and stones were replaced with metal(金属的) oneswhich were stronger, sharper, and long-lasting. Metals were also used for farming and makingknives. Copper(铜) was the first metal to be used.

The first fire that early humans noticed was natural fire caused by lightning(闪电). With fire, early humans could now light up dark caves. They could keep themselves warm during cold weather and cook meat. Also the fire could drive animals away.

Early humans noticed new trees growing from the seeds(种子) that fell to the ground from the fruits. This gave them the idea that they could make their own food by planting seeds, which led to farming. With the beginning of farming, early humans began to settle down(定居). They moved out of the caves and lived on farms and near their fields together, then the first villages came up.

Raising animals was a big event in human history that changed the life of early humans. The wild dogs were probably the first animal to be raised. As time went, goats, sheep, cows, donkeys, and horses were kept, too. This led to herding(畜牧业). Milk, meat and wool came from these animals.

36. Early humans’ paintings don’t tell us _____.

A. when the first human appeared B. how they walked

C. where they lived D. how they lived

37. Early humans had to move around in order to ____.

A. find more caves to live in B. protect themselves from animals

C. look for food and water D. make kinds of tools

38. Early humans used fire to ______.

① light up dark caves ② keep themselves warm ③ cook meat

A. ①②③④ B. ①②④⑤ C. ②③④⑤ D. ①②③⑤

39. Early humans were able to live in one place when _______.

A. they could walk on two feet B. they could use metals

C. they knew how to farm D. they knew how to use fire

40. Which statement is right according to the passage?

A. The first tools were made of copper.

B. The first fire noticed by early humans was caused by lightning.

C. The first villages came up before the farming appeared.

D. The first animal to be raised was sheep.

Although it’s said Van Gogh(梵高)(1853-1890) sold only one painting during his lifetime, different theories(理论) exist(存在).

It is true that The Red Vineyard is the only painting sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime, and that was officially(官方地)recorded and accepted by the art world. It’s recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27, and died at 37. His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888, only two years before he died. So it would be clear that he did not sell many.

However, others disagree. The leading Van Gogh scholar(学者), Marc, is one of them. Though the story that Van Gogh sold just one painting still goes around, he insists(坚持说) that Van Gogh sold at least two.

Also, according to the Van Gogh Museum website, Van Gogh actually sold a number of paintings for living during his lifetime. His first money came from his uncle, who was an art dealer(经销商). In order to help Van Gogh’s career(事业), he ordered 19 paintings. And Van Gogh himself would often trade his paintings for food or art supplies(美术用品)when he was younger.

Van Gogh died in July of 1890. His brother was a wise dealer and saved lots of paintings by Van Gogh. His greatest wish was to make the works more widely known and make much money. Sadly he himself died just six months later. He left a large collection of art to his wife, who “sold some of Van Gogh’s works, lent as many as she could to exhibitions, and published(出版) many of Van Gogh’s letters to his brother. Without her, Van Gogh would never have become as famous as he is today.” After her death, her son founded the Van Gogh Museum.

41. According to________, only one painting was sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime.

A. the official records B. the Van Gogh Museum website

C. Van Gogh’s brother’s son D. Van Gogh’s uncle

42. What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 4?

A. Van Gogh’s paintings were popular. B. Van Gogh was poor then.

C. Van Gogh disliked his paintings. D. Van Gogh’s paintings were expensive.

43. Which statement is right according to the passage?

A. Van Gogh’s brother got rich by selling his paintings.

B. Van Gogh wrote many letters to his brother.

C. Van Gogh’s brother died earlier than him.

D. Van Gogh’s brother’s wife sold all his works.

44. Who is the most important person to make Van Gogh so famous?

A. Van Gogh himself. B. Van Gogh’s brother.

C. Van Gogh’s brother’s wife. D. The leading Van Gogh scholar.

45. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. whether Van Gogh sold only one painting in his life

B. how Van Gogh became famous

C. the whole life of Van Gogh

D. the family of Van Gogh

五、阅读表达 (共5小题，每小题2分，计10分)

阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。

Self-love is the most important if you want to find out your full potentials(潜质) on earth. Accepting who you are makes you feel that you are good enough.

You are good enough does not mean you are perfect. Nobody is perfect. Being good enough means you accept who you are and believe in yourself. The truth is, opinions of other people make it hard for you to find the good part of yourself. So, 73 you need to believe in yourself instead of caring what people think of you. Be sure you are doing it for yourself, notfor someone else. Just make efforts to improve yourself and then you are sure to become the best you can be, or a better version(版本) of yourself.

What should we do when someone is stuck(深陷) in the ocean of not feeling good enough? Here are some suggestions to help. First, be a good listener. Listening to someone will not only make them feel they are worthy but also make you know better what they are going through. Then you will get the idea of how to cheer them. Besides, always encourage others. When people talk about their dreams, tell them it’s possible that all dreams can come true. So, loving others in this way will make them feel good enough.

71. What does “being good enough” mean?

_________________________________________________________________________

72. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
