(A)
The Wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since 1992. In 1992, the people of the town decided that it was time to restart some long-forgotten traditions. Back in the late 1800s, there was a robber called Rosvo-Ronkainen in that area. He was said to only accept men as members of his gang who proved their worth in challenges. At that time, it was also a common practice to steal women from neighboring villages.
The Wife-carrying World Championship is becoming increasingly popular. A large number of competitors, people, and journalists from Finland to Canada attend the Wife-carrying World Championship every year.
The event is well-known for its warm and humorous atmosphere. The Wife-carrying World Championship is held on a 253.5 meters long official track. The track has two dry obstacles and a water obstacle, about a meter deep.
There are a few basic rules and the winning team is the couple who complete the course in the shortest time. The wife to be carried may be your own, or your neighbor’s. The minimum weight of the wife to be carried is 49 kg. If she is less than 49 kg, the wife will be given a heavy bag to carry. Each time a competitor drops his wife, that couple will be fined 15 seconds.
Along with the Wife-carrying World Championship, there is also a team competition. The distance is the same but three men in the team carry the wife in turns. At the exchange point the carrier has to drink official ―wife-carrying drink‖ before continuing the race. A special prize is awarded to the team with the best costumes.
Alongside with the Wife-carrying World Championship, there are bands playing music, a wife-carrying dance and other forms of entertainment.

(C)
A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarian by 30 had recorded five IQ points more on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity（肥胖） rates. The study of 8,179 was reported in the British Medical Journal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarian — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarian had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but reported eating fish or chicken.
Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically（统计地）significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or professional qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, ―The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians than adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or

adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (冠心病) in adult life.‖
But Dr Frankie Phillips, of the British Djetetic Association, said: ―It is like the chicken and the egg. Do people become vegetarian because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?‖
72. It was found in the research that _____.
A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out B. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians C. female vegetarians were more likely to have good jobs than male vegetarians D. vegetarians were more likely to have a high annual income than male vegetarians
73. Catharine Gale talked about ―being vegetarians‖ in a(n) _____ way. A. doubtful B. favorable C. negative D. objective
74. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors. B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle preferences. C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain. D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.
75. What’s the best title for the text? A. Get more IQ points! B. Be a vegetarian, please!
C. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk.
D. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian.
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Description of Masked Lovebird B. Social Behavior
C. Appearance of Masked Lovebird D. Size, Care and Feeding E. Breeding/Reproduction F. Species of Masked Lovebird
76. The Masked Lovebird is a very small member of the parrot family. The head is brownish-black with a yellow collar around the neck. The throat and upper breast is also yellow. The feathers of the rump and onto the upper tail are bluish, and the tail also has occasional orange and black markings. The eye is dark brown surrounded by a naked white eye ring. The beak is red and the legs are gray. The females in this species are slightly larger than the males. The young are duller

especially on the head and they have black markings on the beak.
77. The Masked Lovebird belongs to a group of lovebirds called the ―eye-ring‖ species. There are four eye-ring species. This group can be identified by the obvious strong ring around their eyes. They are closely related and will interbreed readily if kept together, even though they are different species. It is strongly urged that you keep these species separate to maintain their natural forms, as breeding within each species itself produces the most beautiful colour mutations.
78. The Masked Lovebird will get up to about 6‖ (14.5—15.5 cm) in length. A roomy cage is required as lovebirds are very active. If you have a tame pet that is kept in a small cage, it needs to be let out for extended periods to fly about. In the wild the Masked Lovebird eats seeds as well as agricultural crops, especially corn and millets. As a pet they will enjoy a variety of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and commercial pellets.
79. In the wild they are seen in small flocks, and occasionally larger flocks when feeding in ripening crop fields. A lovebird is a very social bird with its companion, and it is generally thought to be essential for their good health and happiness that they be kept in pairs rather than singly. They can, however, be aggressive towards other birds in an aviary setting.
80. The Masked Lovebird is excellent for the beginning breeder. These birds will breed as either single pairs or in colonies. In the wild these birds nest in the holes of trees. When you provide them with a nest box, be sure to also provide lots of willow twigs, strips of bark, or other nesting materials. The hen will lay three or four eggs that are hatched for about 21 to 23 days. The young leave the nest in about 44 to 45 days. When they become independent, remove the young to their own housing.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur (诋毁) on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the teenagers see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some unpleasant remark about the friends’ parents. Such a loss of dignity and attack on childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the teenagers, and makes them decide that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves.
Disillusionment（醒悟）with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable.

Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and correctness, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this teen-aged reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by offending and resisting it. The teenager, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that has been unfair or unjust. What the child can’t forgive is the parents’ refusal to admit these charges if the child knows them to be true.
Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating（伪装）behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too frightened to let them know how they really felt. Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.
（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.）

However, there is a new generation growing up that finds it easier to manage their social lives on the net, using free websites like MySpace, Bebo or MSN Spaces.
Welcome to the social networking website—a place where you can present yourself to the digital community and meet other like-minded people. The most successful social networking website in the UK is MySpace.com. As of July 2009, My Space is the world’s fourth most popular English-language website, attracting almost 3 million visitors per month.

W: Who is going to teach the course?
M: Actually, I have a choice between Dr. Perkins and Dr. Robinson. Do you know anything about them?
W: Sure. I’ve taken classes with both of them. M: So what do you think?
W: They are both good in their own way. But it depends on how you learn, because they approach the class from two entirely different points of view. M: I’ve heard that Robinson is very strict.
W: You could say that. I’d call it traditional. He gives lectures every day, quizzes every week, leading up to a comprehensive final exam as I recall. M: How about Perkins?
W: More relaxing. Uses group discussion and projects instead of quizzes. And I’m pretty sure his final exam is a short essay.
M: Which one would you advise me to take?
W: I really can’t say. If you like to listen to lectures and take notes, and if you do well on objective tests, I’d say Robinson. But if you enjoy working in groups, and you do better on essay exams, then I’d recommend Perkins.
M: Thanks. That was helpful. I think I’ll sign up for Robinson’s class.
Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
