A
For most seventh graders，life doesn’t get much harder than a history test．But for Grant Reed of Bellville，Ohio，it’s his own current events that are so painful．“Honestly，I don’t want to die，"Grant says．Last year，doctors at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus found a tumor(肿瘤)in Grant’s brain．They cut it out，but the surgery left him with stroke—like symptoms．Plus，he had to go through months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease．
Yet，through it all，Grant has shown remarkable determination，which he owes，partly，to Ohio State football．His parents，Troy and Denise，were both in the OSU marching band and fell in love during halftime of the Michigan game．His cat is named after the team Buckeye．His wardrobe is painted scarlet(the color of the team’s sportswear)．The point is，almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State football-until he got sick，of course．
‘‘I didn’t like the word cancer，”Grant says．So he decided not to use the word．Instead，the kid named his cancer Michigan and insisted everyone in his life refer to it as such，because Ohio State always beats Michigan．That was something he could understand and make it into a competition．He was going to beat this disease．
It’s now been more than a year since Grant issued that announcement．“And if you
look at his scans，”Dr．Randal Olshefski at Nationwide Children’s says，“There’s nothing there．There’s a big space，but there’s no tumor．’’
“Grant is beating Michigan．And although much of it has to go to science，don’t discount the semantics(语义学)．You have to do something to make it a disease you can fight．And for Grant，that was naming it Michigan．”his parents say．
This weekend，Ohio State and Michigan will be battling like their lives depend on it．But in this house，the Reed family will be watching with a calm insight：it’s just a game．
41．What’sthe main idea of the first paragraph?
A．History is a difficult subject．
B．Grant suffered a serious dlsease．
C．The operation was successtul．
D．The tumor has spread all over．
42．From the second paragraph，we can infer that_________．
A．Grant was born a football fan
B．football makes a full man
C．interest is the best teacher
D．God helps those who help themselves
43．Why did Grant name his cancer Michigan?
A．Because he dare not face it．
B．Because he doesn’t want to die．
C．Because Michigan is his favorite team．
D．Because his favorite team can always beat Michigan
44．Apart from radiation and chemotherapy，_________ is helping Grant beat the disease．
A．the semantics B．his strong determination
C．the football game D．his cat Buckeye
45．By saying that it’s just a game，we can infer that the Reed family __________．
A．has lost interest in the match between Ohio State and Michigan
B．believes Michigan will surely beat Ohio State this weekend
C．has a better understanding of life
D．views the match as a matter of life and death
B
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins，minerals，and high—quality protein，eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol(胆固醇)，one of the major causes of heart disease．One egg yolk，in fact，contains a little more than two—thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit．
This knowledge has caused egg sales to drop in recent years，which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs．One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not real eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked．They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates，and they can be scrambled or used in baking．One disadvantage，however，is that they are not good for frying，poaching，or boiling．A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs，sometimes called“designer’’eggs．These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil，flax，and rice bran．In spite of their diets，however，these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs．Yet，producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans．
Egg producers claim that their product has been described unfairly．They use scientific studies to back up their claim．And in tact studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results．It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs．Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol from food than other people．In fact，there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol．Consequently，while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs，even designer eggs，it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level．
46．According to this passage，which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
A．High-quality protein B．Cholesterol C．Canola oil D．Minerals
47．The main cause of the recent drop in egg sales is_________．
A．the production of substitute eggs and designer eggs
B．the changes in hen’sdiet
C．the increasing price
D．People’s knowledge of the high level of blood cholesterol in eggs
48．Which is the best way to cook substitute eggs?
A．Boiling． B．Baking． C．Frying．D．Poaching．
49．What’sthe main purpose of this passage?
A．To advertise for substitute eggs．
B．To warn people of the danger of heart disease by eating eggs．
C．To inform people of the relationship between eggs and cholesterol．
D．To tell people that fat intake is more dangerous than egg intake．
50．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．It has been proved that some dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol．
B．Some people are insensitive to cholesterol from food．
C．It is the type of egg that determines the level of cholesterol in one’sbody．
D．Controlling one’sintake of eggs and dietary fat is likely to reduce blood cholesterol．
