AA beggar followed a lady and asked her for some money. She refused, so he turnedaway sadly and said he must do what he had made up his mind to do. At this word, thelady was greatly frightened for she was afraid for his life. So she called him backand gave him a dollar. The beggar took the money, put it into his pocket, and thanked her a great deal. “You have saved me from a terrible fate,” he said. T he lady asked him what he meant. The beggar replied, “Madame, I have been begging all day, but only you have taken pity on me. Without this dollar you gave to me, I should have had to go to work now.21.

In the story, “a horrible fate” means _______A. to begB. to go to workC. to dieD. to live a hard lifeBSome people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, yourbreathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired.24. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should _____.A. do stomach exerciseB. exercise the waistC. exercise all the muscles of your bodyD. run fast for 30 minutes25.

The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “T he trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.He had nothing but contempt(蔑视) for the things most people set their hearts on --- for fame and riches and luxury(奢华).He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.28．The conductor thought Einstein _____ ．A．wasn’t good at maths B．had good memoryC．was either mad or strange D. liked to make trouble29．Einstein meant that many people _____ ．A. knew his Theory of Relativity well because they could explain itB．had written to have grasped his theory correctlyC．pretended to have grasped his abstract theoryD．admired him very much30．Which of the following statements is true?A.

In the eyes of Einstein, most people had a strong wish to publish book on thetheory.31. The underline part “set their hearts on” means _____.A. believeB. haveC. loveD. hateDThere is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes (减少)both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.32.

Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.33. Why do doctors hold laughter clinics?A. Because they want to earn more money.B. Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C. Because they want to improve their patients’ health.D. Because they want their patients to laugh more.34. According to the author, we should __________ in our life.A. laugh as much as possibleB. watch more funny filmsC. smile all the timeD. spend time in the laughter clinics35. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health.B. Laughter clinics can help patients improve their condition.C. Laughter can reduce the effect of pain.D. Laughter is the best medicine.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。
