第二部分阅读理解(满分40分)
(共15小题;满分30分)
A
To find a Mr/Mrs Right? To get rich? To be healthy or happ y? . . . Guess which is the most popular Chinese New Year wi sh? An app is inviting people to write just one Chinese charac ter to represent their wish for the New Year.
With New Year just around the corner, millions of WeChat use rs are sharing their choice of character on their profiles. The a pp, produced by China Central Television News, also gives a real-time ranking of the top 10 most wishes.
The most popular character is“kang”—
health. Over 670, 000 people chose it in the first 24 hours. Wh ile health is often mentioned in New Year’s greetings, its ranki ng perhaps reflects growing health concerns in China, air poll ution, unhealthy lifestyles, obesity and stress have put people’s health at greater risk.
A report in US journal CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians war ns that China faces“huge challenges”from cancer in coming y ears. About 2. 8 million Chinese died from cancer in 2015, 7, 500 every day.
Besides“kang”, other popular characters are“fu”—
good fortune, “le”—happiness, “an”—safety and“ji”—luck.
“Love”only made it onto the list in seventh place. Houses and better salaries are also high on the wish list, perhaps reflectin g how rising house prices have greatly outpaced growth of inc omes, or perhaps the character“zhang”(rise)simply shows that millions of investors are hoping to recoup last year’s stock m
arket losses.
Ranking last on the top 10 is the character“shou”—thin. Obesity has become a real problem in China. More than 30 percent of Chinese adults were overweight in 2012, a third more than a decade ago, according to the Chinese National H ealth and Family Planning Commission.
It seems that many Chinese are determined to change their lif estyles and eating habits in the coming year in the hope of fee ling healthier and fitter.

A. To find a Mr/Mrs Right.
B. To get rich.
C. To be healthy.

22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passa ge?
A. An app is inviting people to write just one Chinese characte r to represent their wish for the New Year.
B. “Love”only made it onto the list in second place.
C. The app is produced by China Central Television News.
D. Air pollution, unhealthy lifestyles, obesity and stress have p ut people’s health at greater risk.

A. China faces“huge challenges”from cancer this year
B. houses and better salaries are low on the wish list

His owner Courtney Morman, 24, made an account on instagr am. com to show Bum and raised awareness for rescuing cat s like him.
A week ago Couliney made the account. Worried Cat AKA Bu m, but it quickly gained more than 500 followers.
After the almost two-year-old Bum was featured on the cat-lovers’ blog Love Meow, images of his serious and thoughtful expression began flying around the Internet.

Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything w rong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the a dvanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong w ith you.
Then, consider this: You might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康).
Sub-
health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National Health Organiz ation, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students aroun d exam time.
Symptoms(征
兆)include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insom nia(失眠), agitation(焦
虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from sub-
health, according to some medical experts, is to form good livi ng habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and tak e part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. T hey should eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish because t hey are rich in nutritional elements—
vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)—
that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much a t one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the di gestive tract(消化
道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoidi ng sub-health.
28. Middle-aged people may be easy to feel sub-
healthy because________.
A. they have used up their energy.
B. they have lost their living hopes.
C.they begin to get older.
D. they have more pressure in life and work.
29. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of sub-health is that you should________.
A. work hard
B. sleep more
C. form good living habits
D. take more medicine
30. As for food, experts suggested that________.
A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have meals with less salt and sugar
C. we should eat less than usual
D. we should have meals without salt and sugar
31. The underlined word“alternate”in the sixth paragraph is cl osest in meaning to“________”.
A.keep up
B. cause to take place
C. arrange by tur ns
D. take up
D
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信
号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another pers on who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强
调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesse r degree. For example, business in some countries is not pos sible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in“small talk”, usual ly over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many Europe an countries—like the UK or France—
people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I onc e made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to b e a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was a n uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me
and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, w e express meaning mainly through words, but people there so metimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause s erious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures shar e similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to busi ness more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is j ust because one culture starts discussions and makes decisio ns more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. Ho wever, if we can understand them better, a multicultural(多文化
的)environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn fr om each other.
32. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may ma ke it easier for people to________.
A. develop closer relations
B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other
D. keep each other company
33. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show t hat________.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. even talk and silence can be culturally different
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. too many words are of no use
34. According to the text, how can people from different cultur es understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life.
B. By accepting different h abits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other’s languages.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other
D. How to Build Up a Relati onship

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Physical education plays a vital role in the students’developm ent and growth. According to recent medical studies, physical well-
being of a student is directly related to his or her performance whether in class or in the office. 36
It’s a link to good health.
37
It’s only in physical educational classrooms that students lear n the value of taking care of themselves through proper groo ming, healthy eating and regular exercise.
38
Many doctors today agree that obesity is a serious health risk. Without any form of diet management and control with the nu merous processed food students intake every day, a student’s health can easily be at risk to many diseases. Physical educa tion in school is a preventive measure to teach students the v alue of regular exercise.
It promotes academic learning.
Physical health allows students to function better in classroom s. A good cardiovascular system developed from regular exer cise promotes excellent blood and oxygen circulation. 39 This circulation produces longer attention span during classes allowing longer concentration and absorption.
It builds self-trust.
Students who are active in physical activities are more confid
ent with themselves according to most social school studies. I t’s probably because of the self-
discipline and dedication to excel in a sport that brings out the best in students. In school, the physical education program in troduces these sport activities to students. 40
It promotes a physically active lifestyle.
The purpose of physical education is to instill in students, at a n early age, the value of self-
preservation and choosing a lifestyle that is good for both the mind and the body.

C. It’s a preventive measure against disease.

health. Over 670, 000 people chose it in the first 24 hours. While health is often mentioned in New Year’s greetings, its ranking perhaps reflects growing health concerns in China, air poll ution, unhealthy lifestyles, obesity and stress have put people’s health at greater risk.
A report in US journal CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians warns that China faces“huge chall enges”from cancer in coming years. About 2. 8 million Chinese died from cancer in 2015, 7, 500 every day.
Besides“kang”, other popular characters are“fu”—good fortune, “le”—happiness, “an”—safety and“ji”—luck.
“Love”only made it onto the list in seventh place. Houses and better salaries are also high on the wish list, perhaps reflecting how rising house prices have greatly outpaced growth of inc omes, or perhaps the character“zhang”(rise)simply shows that millions of investors are hopin g to recoup last year’s stock market losses.
Ranking last on the top 10 is the character“shou”—
thin. Obesity has become a real problem in China. More than 30 percent of Chinese adults w ere overweight in 2012, a third more than a decade ago, according to the Chinese National H ealth and Family Planning Commission.
