Passage Three
Americans are well known for the strange diets they always seem to be following．It seems that Americans like to diet almost as much as they like to eat．New types of diet plans are always coming out．Usually,though,they don't stay popular for long．
There are many diets on the market．It is often difficult to know which ones really work．It's also hard to believe how fast a dieter is supposed to shed pounds．A lot has been written about dieting．And some interesting facts about diets and foods have been discovered．
For example,did you know that the more celery you eat,the more weight you will lose?Celery has“negative”calories．The body burns up more calories digesting a piece of celery than there are in the celery stick itself．
Dieters?shun?potatoes because they think they are fattening．But they aren't．A potato has about the same number of calories as an apple．To gain a single pound,you would have to eat eleven pounds of potatoes!
Some dieters even worry about getting fat from licking postage stamps．But they have nothing to worry about．The glue on an average stamp has only about one-tenth of a calorie．Maybe a diet of post-age stamps would be popular?

The shun is to______

A.love
B.hate
C.avoid
D.fear

    Task II (20 marks)　　Write an essay of no less than 160 words discussing the following passage and express your personal views on the subject. Write the essay on the answer sheet.　　Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.—Bertrand Russell in What I Have Lived For

    正确答案：
    Three Passions in Life Bertrand Russell said in his article What I Have Lived For: “Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind”, which I think is the similar to everybody.
    If you ask people that what is the most important experience in their life, most people will say love. Love is the basic feeling of everybody and it is love that links people’s hearts together so that they want to spend time with each other and do something, even sacrifice for each other. So the longing for love will take possession of most people for life-long. And when this love extends to the whole human kind, it presents as unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. It is this kind of pity that supports people live out of the long history through unaccountable hardships.
    To most people, the search for knowledge will occupy most time of their life. It’s knowledge that separate people from other animals and keeps mankind progressing.
    When you are old and look back to review your life, if you find you have spent most of your life for these three things, though I don’t know if it’s successful or not, but I dare to say that your life is meaningful.
