Zinc（锌）is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other elements work.
Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys, formerly with the United States Air Force, noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some substances were added to their food. One of these substances was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate（硫酸盐）recovered in one half the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by a lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate.
The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining the blood and hair. A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries. Zinc is found in most high protein foods, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food makers should add the elements so that more people could get needed amounts of these essential substances. 69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

C. Zinc is important because it allows important chemical actions to take place in cells. D. A lack of zinc is rare among people in developed countries.

Rich or poor, we all have problems: that unfaithful mate, that irritating（恼人的）colleague, that persistent disease, the investment that is turning into a huge loss.
How do we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of life?
The following suggestions may help.
It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and unreasonable boss. Sound familiar? One day I told her. \paid for the annoyance as well as the work. It comes with the pay. \
This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. \every day as a bonus.” When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole new perspective.
It's all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important we work at resolving problems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would only compound（使更复杂）the frustration.
If you tell yourself there isn't a problem, there won't be one. It's all in the mind. Stop thinking about your own problem—help others instead. A lady who is combating a life-threatening disease revealed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering help to others in a similar situation.
She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer. She says that the sharing has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.
Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in and give up when we meet difficulties? Is it because we have no confidence in our cause and no commitment for what we pursue?
It was said that Albert Einstein's last request on his death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel.
Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his son, \only I had more mathematics!\
One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy. She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassin's bullet—Boddy Kennedy: \but we shall carry on with courage. \
Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? I've learned that care as you might, love as you might, some people just don't care back.
And it's not the end of the world. After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it? It's what we do about that happens to us.
72. Which of the following may serve as an appropriate title for this passage?
A. How to Face Problems. B. How to Resolve Problems.
C. How to Hold on to Your Dream. D. How to Remain Cheerful.
73. \（Para. 5, Line 1）is most likely to mean ______.

第II卷
第四部分：写作（共两小节，满分35分）
第一节：任务型读写 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。 注意：表格中的每个空格只填1个单词。
A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word blog is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information, and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too expensive to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they didn’t know that the site was closing.
One blog that is sill going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.
Ms Blood says Rebecca’s pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything—politics, culture, and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.
