There is 36 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad 37 on what people are curious about.Curiosity 38 can be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are 39 of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They have a strong wish to know what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 41 or late. To be interested in these things is silly because it is none of their 42 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also 43 . For most probably, it may lead to a small talk 44 often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect to others, and thus 45 their feelings.On the other hand, there is a 46 curiosity- the curiosity of wise men, who 47 at all the great things and try to find out all they 48 learn about them. Columbus could 49 have found America if he had not been 50 . James Walt would not have made the steam engine 51 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the 52 in human history have been made as a 53 of curiosity, 54 the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 55 or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.36.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ―keeping up with theJoneses‖ is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ because ―Jones‖ is a very common name in the United States. ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s s eries appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ―Joneses‖ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.56.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.A. want to be as rich as their neighboursB. want others to know or to think that they are richC. don’t want others to know they are richD. want to be happy57.It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to ________.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York cityC. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbors58. From the text, we know that _______.A. All the neighbors of Momand like to keep up with the Joneses.B. All of his neighbors don’t want to keep up with rich lifestyles.C. Momand never seems to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.D. Momand became very rich and returned to the wealthy neighborhood. .59.Arthur Momand used the name ―Jones‖ in his series of short stories because ―Jones‖ is________.A. an important nameB. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbor’s nameD. not a good name60. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.A. correctB. interestingC. impossibleD. goodBYears ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirt y window. I would say to myself. ―I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.‖One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) so meone, I asked myself first, ―Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?‖ I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.61. The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because ________.A. the woman’s window was dirtyB. the writer was near-sightedC. the woman lived nearbyD. the writer’s window was dirty62. ―It dawned on me‖ probably means ―________‖.A. I knew it grew lightB. it cheered me upC. I began to understand itD. it began to get dark63. It’s clear that ________.A. they both worked as cleanersB. the writer often washed the windowC. the writer had never met the woman beforeD. they lived in a small town64. From the passage, we can learn ________.A. one must judge himself before he judges othersB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one shouldn’t criticize others very oftenD. one must look at others through his dirty windowsCHave you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process（过程）of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your ―explain power.‖ Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if yo u have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with ―I’ll learn chess,‖ or ―I’ll read an article on the mind every week.‖ Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workab le plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journa （日志）of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.65.According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT ______.A. the increase of your brain powerB. the ability to rememberC. the development of your interest in studyD. the better understanding of a topic66.The underlined sentence ―you’re half-way there‖ in the f ifth paragraph implies(暗示) that________.A. you are already successfulB. you still need to work hardC. writing can help you walk half wayD. writing is important to solve problems67.What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text?A. To advise readers to start their writing.B. To explain the importance of writing.C. To persuade readers to become writers.D. To increase readers’ brain powerDMy Year AbroadThis month in Travelers Corn er there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.Mariko Okada – TokyoMy year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.Carla Fonseca – Rio de JaneiroI spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!Alvin Chen – Hong KongStudying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my home stay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture.

It is true that a person should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. However, drinking water right after eating or even during a meal may disrupt (扰乱) digestion. It might affect the natural levels of acid and bile (酸和胆汁) that are necessary for proper digestion. What’s more, drinking cold water after eating might slow down （减慢）digestion. So try to avoid drinking water at least an hour after a meal, and avoid drinking it while eating.Though walking after eating is healthy, doing it immediately after a meal is not. Doing so will make it difficult for the digestive system to take in nutrients (营养) from the food. Besides, the blood will flow towards other parts of the body, like legs, hands, etc., which will make the digestive tract not have enough amount of blood flow that is needed for proper digestion. So weshould wait for at least 2 hours after eating, and then begin exercising.Sleeping should also be avoided right after eating. This is because going to bed right after a meal will lead to improper digestion. What’s more, such a habit will also make you put on a lot of weight. Therefore, wait for an hour or two, and then go to sleep.Many of us have the habit of drinking tea just after lunch or dinner, which is really unhealthy. The tea leaves are rich in （富含）acid which prevents the protein in the food from digesting. The best time to drink tea is at least one hour after eating.Eating fruits right after a meal may fill the stomach with air and cause discomfort. They will also take time to reach the digestive tract, disturbing the entire process of digestion. To protect your stomach from digestive problems, eat fruits before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.In a word, if you avoid doing all the above things after eating, you will surely make your digestion easy, and you will be less likely to have digestive problems.第七部分书面表达（20分）假如李华是你的同学，最近他很不开心，因为他和父母之间有一些分歧。
