Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.Admit you don't know.Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"Use associations.Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair." To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others--an automatic review for you.21. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.22. If you can't remember someone's name, you may ____.A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you23. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember_____.A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible24. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.BThe year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China.In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁).Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as "beats on land" for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who live in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar (农历), and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as human.Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.25. The words "boats on land" underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to _____.A. animals for taking goodsB. creatures for pulling plowsC. treasures of the folk cultureD. tools in the farming economy26. From the third paragraph, we know that ____.A. oxen are no more important today than in the pastB. ceremonies are held when people cook cattle bone soupC. oxen are treated as human in some areas of ChinaD. people run with oxen to shake off diseases every month27. Which of the following helps to develop traditional customs?A. The special role of oxen in farming.B. People's respect and love for oxen.C. The practical value of an ox's body.D. The contribution of oxen to the economy.28. Why does the author write the text?A. To stress the importance of oxen in farming.B. To introduce the Chinese folk culture.C. To describe how to celebrate the Year of Ox.D. To explain how to develop agriculture with oxen.高二英语寒假作业30分钟限时训练题2一、完型填空We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago.

One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up thisheat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.21. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.C. he Dutch engineer's system has been widely used.D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.22. For what purpose are the diving pipes used?A. To absorb heat from the sun.B. To store heat for future use.C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.D. To carry heat down below the surface.23. From the last paragraph we can learn that ______.A. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterB. the system can do more than warming up the buildingC. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer24. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C. How the system cools the building in summer.D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.25. Which of the following is true of the membership card?A. Its number is 10865 305305.B. It belongs to Mr. E. M. Driscoll.C. It is valid through the year of 2010.D. It gets the owner a discount when used.26.

Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world's drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.21. Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ____.A. reflect more heat into the atmosphereB. bring about high rainfall throughout the worldC. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth22. What does the word "this" underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.23. It can be inferred from the text that _____.A. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns24. What might be the best title for the text?A. How to Save Rainforests.B. How to Protect Nature.C. Rainforests and the Environment.D. Rainforests and Medical Development.BHow I Turned to Be Optimistic I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt＇s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to ―the hard times. ‖My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 25.

They‘re ordinary folks like you and me.But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.Free test and brochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize your writing dream today.

Show she sold more stories than articlesBHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, But now scientists are giving this feelings an empirical（经验的, 实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room‘s ceiling affects how people to think. Her research indicates that the higher callings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant‘s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design ＆Planning Laboratory at University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms withunblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim（暗淡的）light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管）, ”architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That‘s what we're all struggling with. ‖24. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A. LightB. CeilingsC. WindowsD. Furniture.25. The passage tells us that____.A. the shape of furniture may affect people, s feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students‘ creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. Students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed26. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _______.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns高二英语寒假作业30分钟限时训练题5一、完型填空In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again.

We 4 that Michael's score must have been a 5 and we should treat him 6 as usual.We moved to Indiana in 1962,and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year.

But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today, the canyon is one and a half kilometers deep and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim from or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side, the North Rim. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.The canyon looks different at different times a day, and in the different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown, and orange colours of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s eage offers a different view.The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colordo River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colourful pink desert called ”the Painted Desert”.Y ou can walk down into the Grand Canyon, or you can go down on the back of a mule(小型电动汽车) . Y ou can also take a boat trip down the Colorado River, and camp on the beaches at night. But whether you see the Grand Canyon from thr top or the bottom, it will be an experience that you will never forget.21.The best way to feel the size and beauty of the Grand Canyon is___________________________.A.to see it photographsB.to listen to the report about itC.to travel there yourselvesD.to watch its TV programs22.What made the Grand Canyon?A.The earthquakeB.The water from the Colorado RiverC.The American proplrD.The strong wind23.The sea level on both sides of the Grand Canyon is __________________________.A.the sameB.changing with timeC.variousD.very low24.From the passage we can know that the _________ of the canyon is different atdifferent time.A. lengthB. sceneC. widthD. height。

Supportive texts were sent to 2,915 of the smokers for six months. The rest received only messages thanking them for taking part.They were sent five texts a day for the first five weeks and then three a week for the next 26 weeks.Participants could also text back for specific advice when they had strong desire or had begun to smoke again.Saliva tests for cotinine,which is made when nicotine is broken down by the body,were taken to determine if people had really given up.After six months,10.7% of those receiving texts had quit—double the proportion among those doing it on their own.Dr Caroline Free, who led the txt2stop trial at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,said: "Text messages are a very convenient way for smokers to receive support to quit.""People described txt2stop as being like having a friend encouraging them or an angel on their shoulder.”"It helped people resist the temptation to smoke.The World Health Organization says nearly sixmillion die each year because of smoking, mostly in low-and middle-income countries.“The lessons learned from the txt2stop trial could…not only provide a new approach to stop in high-income and middle-income countries, but could also provide a useful starting point for implementing behavioural change in resource-poor settings."It has also been suggested similar text messages could be used to help people modify other behaviour.1.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Text Messages Help Smokers QuitB.How to Quit Smoking EffectivelyC.Smoking Is Very Harmful to HealthD.The Function of Text Messages2.How did the researchers judge if a participant had really given up?A.By sending text messages to the participant.B.By making saliva tests for cotinine.C.By observing the participant for five weeks.D.By making a questionnaire.3.The underlined “It”in the passage refers to ______.A.a friendB.txt2stopC.an angelD.quitting smoking4.In which part of a website may the passage appear?A.Entertainment.B.Advertisement.cation.D.Health.7、I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.McDonald’sThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three- pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.1.What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A.They are boring.B.They are attractiveC.They are out of date.D.They are practical2.What does Nike’s logo stand for?A.The goddess of victoryB.The source of inspiration for soldiersC.The wing of the Greek goddessD.The statue of the Greek goddess3.We can learn that Apple’s present logo is______.A.the religious story of Adam and EveB.Newton’s sitting under an apple treeC.a bitten apple with only one colorD.the rainbow-colored bitten apple4.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?A.Nike –McDonald’s –Apple –Mercedes Benz.B.Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s –Nike –Apple.C.Mercedes Benz –Apple –Nike –McDonald’s.D.Nike –Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s –Apple.8、Ease neck and shoulder pain at the officeIf you work in an office, keeping neck and shoulder pain away may only take two minutes a day.A new study presented at the World Congress of the American College of Sports Medicine in Denver found that office workers doing two minutes of exercise a day reported lower levels of neck and shoulder pain after 10 weeks.The study by Danish researchers involved 198 office workers who had frequent neck and shoulder pain but were otherwise healthy. Theworkers did either a 2-minute or a 12-minute resistance exercise using elastic tubing. The exercise was a lateral raise, in which the upper arm is raised until it is horizontal and the arms are 10 to 15 inches from the body, says Lars Andersen, the lead researcher.After 10 weeks, the workers who had performed two minutes of daily exercise reported on average a 1.4-point decrease in pain on a 10-point scale. Workers who did 12 minutes of daily exercise had an even lower level of pain, but the difference was not very significant.Though the study may give new encouragement to workers to add even small amounts of exercise into their daily routines, the connection between lower levels of pain and exercise is well-documented, says Lynn Miller, a professor of physical therapy at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich., who was not involved in the study.Even short periods of exercise can help loosen up tight muscles and bring the body back into proper level, Miller says. Office-induced pain also can be reduced by making sure your workspace is set up properly.“For office workers,usually posture is not good," Miller says. Arms are often forward for prolonged periods, and reading a computer screen tends to bring the head into a forward position.1.In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage?A.Entertainment.B.Sports.C.Business.D.Lifestyle.2.According to the passage, where did the researchers come from?A.Germany.B.America.C.Denmark.D.Britain.3.The third paragraph mainly tells us ______.A.the reason why the study was carried outB.the people who carried out the researchC.how the study was carried out in detailD.how to exercise every day4.Which of the following words best describes Lynn Miller’s attitude towards the study result?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Shocked.D.Doubtful.完形填空9、阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Many students at the school were very rich, and they would fill their dorms with decorations. But I was 40 not to because I thought it was a 41 of time and money.I had a single room, which was about the 42 of a Chinese college dorm --- the ones which usually hold six people.43 she helped carry my bags, Lily asked me, “What’s your favorite 44 ，Teresa?”I thought for a moment before answering, “Orange.”I didn’t know why she had asked the question.We 45 an introduction meeting after dinner. 46 of the students were native English speakers, so I felt a little 47 .I returned to my room after the 48 , tired and wanted to go to bed after a (n) 49 day.

There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies（复杂）of reading letters to formwords.If a three-year-old wants to read（or even a two-year-old for that matter）, the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher’s a ffair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic（having difficulty in reading）.Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read （if badly done it could put them off reading for life ）, there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.61. This passage is mainly about ____.A. what qualities people teaching children reading should haveB. different age groupings of children to be taught readingC. when and how children should be taught readingD. various problems of children who start learning to read62. In the writer’s opinion, children start learning to read ____.A. early and fastB. at different timesC. by a certain ruleD. from word games63. A three-year-old child who wants to read should ____.A. be encouragedB. go to an infant schoolC. start from fun storiesD. join a class of non-readers64. The purpose of labeling items in the room is to ____.A. make it more colorfulB. teach children to write neatlyC. help children recognize simple lettersD. force children to develop the habit of reading65. The writer suggests that ____.A. children should ask their parents to teach them to readB. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading materialC. children starting to read should ask specialists for helpD. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humour23. Welcome to the National Maritime（海洋）Museum！The National Maritime Museum is the largest of its kind in the world，with over two million items in its collections. Twenty galleries display some of the finest sea affairs in historic buildings，which were formerly a school for the sons of seamen.Opening times10：00-17：00 Winter hours10：00-18：00 Summer hoursLast admission （允许进入）is thirty minutes before closing.

Which of the following is certainly forbidden according to the passage？_______A. Trying to enter the museum after 5：00 p.m.B. Taking pictures in front of the museum.C.

From the passage we can learn that _________.A. the museum runs a school and has students of its ownB. students can receive different kinds of education hereC. part of school education has to be done in the museumD. school programs are only run at weekends and on holidays57. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. In the past, the museum was a school for seamen’s sons.B. things from ancient times are more attractiveC. the most valuable things are displayed in the museumD. the museum is anxious to make more money24. Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.If you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed，some have two，three or four，and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）. Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants.58. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.A. plants are important for lifeB. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the worldD. we can not live without water59. What can we infer（推断）from the passage ？A. Of all living things animals are most.B. Spores are seeds.C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.D. Without plants，man will die out.60. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. Kept.B. Guarded.C. Prevented.D. Surrounded61. This passage may be taken from______.A. a medicine bookB. a novelC. a science magazineD. an experiment report25. “L ife is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in 52 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting , amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes empty and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up(加速)our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed(压力) and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.A family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas,7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have , the more difficult life becomes.” She said. The boys said they found less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets boring.62. The passage is mainly about_______.A. problems with technologyB. improvements of our life with technologyC. the important roles technology plays in our everyday lifeD. major changes which will be likely to happen to technology63. The writer quoted( 引用) what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to _______.A. share a truth about lifeB. tell us what life was like long time agoC. make us wonder what causes such a thing to happenD. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same64. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940’s house because ______.A. they liked to live simple livesB. they were curious about how people lived without modern inventionsC. they were troubled by modern inventionsD. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them65. What do you think the underlined word “available” in the first suggestion means?A. Busy on lineB. FreeC. Able to be usedD. Able to be found by others四、新的题型(共小题，每小题分)26. 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。

We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kath y and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037.

A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to tas te!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.44. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you _________A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. at the last momentD. a week before the dinner45. It would be impolite to _____.A. put bones on your plates with fingersB. persuade others to drink moreC. drink soup with your spoonD. make sure that there is nothing left on your face after dinner46. Which of the following is not true?A. After dinner, you'd better stay and talk with your friends for a long time to show your thanks.B. You'd better ring your friend the next day to show your thanks.C. After dinner, you'd better leave in half an hour.D. After dinner, use napkin to clean your mouth.DWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the anc ient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But h ow effective it will be, only time can tell.47. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.48. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.49. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker50. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is四、七选五(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。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AWhen was the last time your family sat down together to have a dinner?The speed at which we live today no longer allows for slow eating habits. Most people work long hours. There is lots of fast food and eating out is now on the increase. Often food is eaten in front of the television in silence, or a child eats alone in front of the computer.When I was a child, every evening around the same time, one of the children would be asked to set the table, and then we’d go and wash our hands before the meal. This was the time of day when we would talk about our day at school. But now things have changed a lot.A family environment plays an important role for children in learning to communicate with others and understanding table manners, such as waiting for others to finish before leaving the table, and not speaking with a mouth full of food. Parents’ likes and dislikes of a certain food will also influence a child’s own likes and dislikes. Studies have shown that children who often eat with their families have better results at school than children who eat with their families less than twice a week.Regular meal times give children the chance to discuss their problems with family members. They can also learn to respect others around the table .Talking to your children during dinner is the best way of having their trust. Children learn good eating habits from their parents at a very young age. Family meals are important. Prepare them for your children.36. Some families eat less together because_______.A. Most children live in a schoolB. people are busy with their workC. table manners change a lotD. food in the restaurant is better37. Children who often eat with their families_______.A. turn out to do better in their studiesB. prefer to share food with othersC. show concerns about familiesD. are interested in cooking38. Which word can best describe the writer’s attitude towards eating together with families?A. supportiveB. DoubtfulC. WorriedD. Grateful39. Why does the writer give her own example?A. To tell the importance of a family.B. To compare with presentchanges.C. To show how happy her family was.D. To bring back her beautiful memory.BAmerican scientists say musical training seems to improve communication skills. They found that developing musical skills involves the same process in the brain as learning how to speak. The scientists say that could help children with learning disabilities.Nina Kraus is a neurobiologist at Northwestern University in Illinois. She says musical training involves putting together different kinds of information. She says the process involves hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument and watching other musicians. She says the process is not much different from learning how to speak. Both involve different senses.Professor Krauss says musical training and learning to speak make us think about what we are doing. She says speech and music pass through a structure of the nervous system called the brain stem(脑干). The brain stem controls our ability to hear.Until recently, experts have thought the brain stem could not be developed or changed. But Professor Krauss and her team find that musical training can improve a person's brain stem activity.The study involved people with different levels of musical ability. They were asked to wear an electrical device that measures brain activity. The people wore the device while they watched a video of someone speaking and a person playing a musical instrument. The study found that the more years of training people had, the more sensitive they were to the sound and beat of the music.Professor Kraus says the study shows the importance of musical training to children with learning disabilities.40. The main idea of the passage is .A. learning how to speakB. that brain stem is important for speechC. that musical training people are more sensitiveD. that musical training is important for communication skills41. Why can musical training improve communication skills? Because .A. it gives people more knowledgeB. it has a kind of magicC. it can improve a person’s brain stem activityD. it can make people speak42. Which sentence is true according to the text?A. The brain stem controls our ability to speak.B. The brain stem has something to do with our ability to hear.C. Experts think train stem can’t be developed.D. The musical training process involves putting together different kinds ofinformation, hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument and watching other musicians.43. The underlined word “device” means .A. a piece of equipment for some experimentB. a piece of furniture for a labC. a cell phoneD. a headphoneCThe gray wolf used to live in most of the northern United States, including Colorado. In fairy tales, wolves can be pretty mean, but in real life, wolves are shy animals that are afraid of people. They are predators of deer, elk(麋鹿) and antelope. But as more people settled in the country, they killed off many of them, so wolves started eating the cattle and sheep that the settlers brought with them. Because the settlers needed those cattle and sheep for their own families, and because many people are afraid of wolves, people started killing wolves until they became endangered. Many places would even offer money to anyone who would kill a wolf. The last wolf in Colorado was shot 50 years ago.Now, the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife would like to see wolves reintroduced into their natural homes. This is happening already in Minnesota, but not in Colorado yet. There are lots of deer and elk in the Colorado mountains for them to eat now. In fact, many people feel that having the wolves back would be a help to the deer and elk herds(群). Without enough naturalenemies, the herds get too big. Also, wolves and other predators usually catch the oldest or the sickest deer, so maybe they could help keep the other deer from getting sick and dying, too. But for ranchers（牧场主）, will the wolves come after cattle if t here are plenty of deer to eat? It’s hard to know. In Minnesota, they offer ranchers money to pay for animals that are known to have been killed by wolves. That way, the wolves have a chance, but the ranchers don’t lose too much money.

The last wolf disappeared 50 years ago.C. They can help keep the balance of natureD. They are under protection in Colorado.45. What’s the ranchers’ attitude to reintroducing gray wolves in Colorado?A. AgainstB. InterestedC. WorriedD. Excited46. The best title for the passage is _________.A. Bring the wolves backB.

Grasmere.BChildren are excited to find brightly wrapped(包装的) presents under the tree on Christmas morning. They can't wait to open the wrapping and get the toys that were on their wish lists,such as toy cars. But after the excitement wears off, those toys are usually left to the corner of the toy box and the kids are searching for something else to do. But it doesn't have to be that way.A study from the University of Toronto found that giving your child experiences as a gift, instead of toys, improves your child's intelligence and makes stronger parent-child bonds. "Often the focus is only on whether someone likes a gift rather than focusing on a fundamental purpose of gift giving. Knowing that will foster(培养) relationships between the giver and the receiver,'' said lead researcher Cindy Chan.Chan suggested that when you are buying a holiday gift or birthday gift, you should buy something that kids can experience with you. This can be movie or concert tickets, a CD from a performance you already saw to keep the memory alive. For example, for kids, a trip to a museum, going ice-skating or a book that the family can read together over and over again are valuable gifts.It is found that giving your kids too many toys can be counterproductive(适得其反) and make kids at a loss. The best way to make kids happy is to spend time together.So, if you want happy and intelligent kids, spending time with them and making memories are the best gifts you can give them. That's not to say that there shouldn't be any toys but change the focus from getting things to making lasting memories.1.How do children usually deal with toys after the excitement disappears?A. They put them aside.B.They give them to their friends.C.They add them to the wish lists.D.They throw them into the rubbish bin.2.What should people focus on when buying gifts according to Cindy Chan?A. The advantage of giving toys.B.The purpose of giving gifts.C. The excitement caused by toys.D.The gift receiver's hobby.3.What did Cindy Chan advise parents to do in Paragraph 3?A.Do something together with kids.B.Give kids well-wrapped presents.C.Buy kids as many toys as possible.D.Encourage kids to do sport in school.4.What is the best title for the text?A. A lesson from kids at ChristmasB.The pleasure of giving and receivingC.Valuable gifts: popular among kidsD.Move over toys, and make room for memoriesCBee see, bee do. At least that's the conclusion of research published earlier this month in the journal PLOS Biology, showing that bumblebees learn to solve problems by watching each other.In the first study of its kind in insects,scientists constructed experiments that challenged bees to pull strings in order to access rewards of nectar(花蜜).The scientists hoped their study would throw light on a bigger picture: how social learning spreads through a population.In the study, Lars Chittka from Queen Mary University of London and his team made artificial flowers and filled them with artificial nectar made of sugar water. They put the flowers under a clear type of plastic and attached a string.Then they added bees. While most of the insects failed to reach the nectar, a few eventually figured out how to access it, by pulling the string.The team discovered that they could greatly increase the success rate of the bees by firstplacing them inside a transparent(透明的) box where they could observe an experienced bee pull the string. Then, when the boxed bees were released, they often knew what to do and successfully pulled the string to obtain nectar.Next, the researchers added a bee that was experienced in string pulling to each of three new groups that had never seen the experiment before. Within a short time, about half of all those bees were soon pulling the strings. That result suggests the learned behavior could spread from bee to bee, similar to the way cultural ideas spread in other animals, including people.The experiment suggests that social learning may be more widespread in the animal kingdom than people previously thought.1.What happened after the bee pulled the string?A. It joined others.B.It saw flowers.C. It found water.D.It got nectar.2.What did the boxed bees do after being set free?A.They watched the experienced bee work.B.They imitated the experienced bee.C.They flew directly to the rewards.D.They flew back to the box.3.Why was an experienced bee added to new bee groups?A.To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B.To watch the process of string pulling.C.To carry the experiment further.D.To keep the bees' interest.4.What does the study find?A.Most animals create their own cultures.B.Strings are particularly attractive to bees.C.Animals may have good social learning ability.D.Bumblebees may be smarter than other bee species.DOne day, when Albert Einstein was a small boy, his father bought him a composs(指南针). It was a small toy to entertain him. Einstein was very pleased as he looked at the "magic," thing turning towards north. For him, the compass was not a toy but a new world.He was a curious child and would often daydream. His father was annoyed with him for thebad reports from his teachers. They told him that the boy was not interested in his studies. He was blamed by his father for being lost in his foolish dreams.On leaving school, his father wanted him to study electrical engineering. But he disliked becoming an engineer. He entered the Zurich Polytechnic Academy to prepare himself for a teaching position in mathematics and physics. Though he finished his studies, he was unable to get a job.Finally, he got a job in an office. In his spare time, he filled his notepaper with difficult mathematical formulas(公式). Some of these later led to great scientific discoveries. When they were published, he became a famous scientist. He could not take his daily walk without being surrounded by reporters. He would only smile at them, and went on with his work in his quiet way.In 1921, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize. The Queen of Belgium invited him to pay her a visit. He got off the train and walked to the palace. He wasn't willing to take the car sent to pick him up. When the Queen asked him, he looked at her with a smile and answered, "It was a very pleasant walk." Einstein disliked wealth. Peace, he said, was what the world needed, and that could not be bought with money.1.Why did Einstein's father buy him a compass?A. To satisfy his curiosity.B.To let him play with it.C.To develop his interest in science.D.To help him create a dream world.2.What does the underlined word "annoyed" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Familiar.B. Strict.C. Angry.D.Content.3.What can we learn about Einstein from Paragraph 4?A. He cared little for fame.B.He was not good at talking.C.He was praised by the Queen.D.He didn't work as an officer for long.4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a new theory.B.To contribute to world peace.C. To remember a great scientist.D.To share some incidents about Einstein.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss, or an insensitive employee 16 your day?Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed 17 the airport. We were driving in the 18 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 19 , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 20 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started 21 at us.My taxi driver just 22 and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was 23 ,so I said，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！〞 This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".He said, “ Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 24, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 25 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 26 . Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.Believe me. You’ll be 27 .〞So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 28 it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.〞Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with29 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s30 in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you __31 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you __32 them more frequently. So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you _33 it！The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck〞，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 34 go of the bad.Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today 35 the harvest you reap tomorrow.16.

C和D)中，选出最优选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AWhen TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose.But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes－the TV cameramen－have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN－have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance〞 TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.36. TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to .A. save expense and avoid risksB. get free and useful picturesC. get first-hand information and picturesD. satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen37. We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen .A. have to take a lot of risks in the course of workB. are tied to many TV news agenciesC. have better skills than other cameramenD. need to contract out risks of work for TV companies38. According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies .A. have employed enough cameramenB. are not willing to employ many cameramenC. are very mean to freelancersD. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured39. The author of this passage shows his the freelance cameramen.A. sympathy toB. respect forC. anger toD. admiration toBWill it matter if you don't have your breakfast ? A short time ago , a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts. The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast , he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight . This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch . They will gain weight instead of losing it . You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.40. During the test , the people were given _______.A. no breakfast at all .B. different breakfasts or sometimes noneC. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast41. Scientists wanted to know whether _______.A. breakfast had any effect on work and studies.B. people were interested in breakfastC. breakfast did harm to people’s healthD. people would work better without breakfast42. According to the passage, some people think without breakfast they will ____A. lose weightB. get a good result in their workC. gain weightD. not be hungry at all.43. Which of the following sentences is not right?A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.B. No breakfast and more lunch may make you fatter.C. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you will learn in class.D. If you don't eat much for lunch and supper , you may lose weight.CWhen Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All,her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments.Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."44. Why did Mary feel regretful?A. She didn't achieve her ambition.B. She didn't follow her mother's advice.C. She didn't complete her high school.D. She didn't take care of her mother.45. We can know that before 1995 MaryA. received many career awardsB. knew how to use a computerC. had two books publishedD. supported the JDRF by writing46. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .A. service for an organizationB. successful show businessC. living with diabetesD. remembrance of her motherDMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities〔设备〕to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helen was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity 〔辐射能〕. Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.47．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?A. Because she received a degree in mathematics.B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.48．Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?A. At the Curie Institute.B. At the University of Paris.C. At a military hospital.D. At the College of Sevigne.49．When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?A. In 1932.B. In 1927.C. In 1897.D. In 1926. 50．In which of the following aspects was Irene Cuire different from her mother?A. Irene worked with radioactivity.B. Irene combined family and career.C. Irene won the Nobel Prize onceD. Irene died from leukemia.四、七选五(共5小题;每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

AA machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membrane(膜) designed to only let water molecules〔分子〕 get through.Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology."It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends onhow sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. MattiasRonge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stunt(惊人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've installed exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers are cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produced - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."24.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the machine?_______.A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local tap water .B. The amount of water the machine produces is too small.C.The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the International Space StationD. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?A. How the machine works.B. Who developed the machine.C. How the machine was invented.D. Why the machine was invented..26.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the world.B. People do not like the water the machine processesC. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer.D. The machine is not worth popularizing.BAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A. People seldom work long hours to make money.B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.D.

Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House inAtlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, as king them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ 〞The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump〞.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.27. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump〞D. adapted from a movie28.

Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?A. Because she was rich enough.B. Because she was injured then.C. Because her husband didn’t like it.D. Because she wanted to write books.30. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.DMany Chinese people are confused with the two nations: one is known for its cheese and watches; the other for IKEA and Volvo.The problem largely stems from the fact that both nation’s names are written similarly in Mandarin---Ruidian(Sweden) and Ruishi (Switzerland)------which begin with the same symbol, according to the Swedish Consul General Victoria Liu in China.In an effort to put an end to the mix-up, the Swedish and Swiss governments have launched a competition on a website, asking Chinese people to come up with funny ways to help differentiate the two countries. Submissions can be accepted as a blog post, cartoon, photo, short film or in any other format.The winner with the best submission will receive a 12-day trip to Sweden and Switzerland and will be expected to report back on his/her impressions of both countries following the trip, the website states. Entries will be accepted until November 20.The organizers have also devised a humorous campaign logo with objects and people associated with Sweden and Switzerland on separate maps of each country. Sweden’s map features meatballs, a Viking, as well as t wo male cartoon figures with a heart between them symbolizing gay marriage, which remains illegal in Switzerland.Switzerland’s map features cheese, the Alps and a picture of Roger Federer.China may not be the only country struggling to tell Sweden and Switzerland apart. Residents of Spanish-speaking countries also fall victim to the confusion as Sweden is spelt “Suecia〞in Spanish while Switzerland is called “Suiza〞.Sweden and Switzerland aren’t the only places that have caused confusion among people. Last month, , a British holidaymaker hoped to explore the architecture of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, but instead mistakenly caught a flight across the Atlantic to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada following a confusing booking blunder. Earlier this summer, two US holidaymakers were flown to the wrong continent after an airline confused two airport codes.63.What can we learn about the competition launched by the two governments?A.

The competition is held in order to stop people’s confusion about the two countries.64.Why does the author mention the British holidaymaker?A. To show us many people are confused by Sweden and Switzerland.B. To prove airports make mistakes about people’s places too.C. To explain Spanish-speaking people make mistakes too.D. To prove many people are confused about some places.65.In which part of a newspaper could you probably find the passage?A. TourismB. News reviewC. BusinessD.

I was teaching fourthgrade and my students had made me 31 . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.The morning bell rang. I walked 32 through the cold into the overly heated school building. Twenty-two smiling faces 33 me at the school bus stop. I forced myself to 34 their smiles. Back into the classroom, they 35 , comparing plans for the 36 . I had to remove one student from each arm 37 __ I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book〔点名册〕my desk was covered with 38 and gifts followed by a 39 of “Merry Christmas〞wishes.“Oh, thank you,〞 I must have 40 a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 41__ mood. It was kind of them to 42 me. After a while, I heard a small nervous 43 say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing 44 by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.〞“Thank you, Sweetheart.〞 I laid it on my desk with the others.“Um, could you 45 it now?〞I gently tore at the paper and tape. “ 46 ,〞he said, “it’s breakable.〞Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament〔装饰物〕, complete with a hook already 47 . It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my 48 back.Later that day, I sat 49 the ornament in my hands.

At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW〞 sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.〞“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.〞answered Mr. Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.〞The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street!〞51. When he was stopped by a policeman, he ____.A. was driving at a high speedB. was driving onto the main roadC. was going to stop his carD. was pulled into the crossroad52. Though slowly, Mr. Williams continued driving at the crossing because________ .A. he saw a “STOP〞 sign in the opposite streetB. he paid no attention to the traffic rulesC. he didn't have to stopD. he was eager to get home53. Looking round Mr. Williams, the policeman was surprised because__________ .A. he met a mad manB. he realized that he himself was mistakenC. Mr. Williams dared to speak to him like thatD. Mr. Williams would not apologize to him54. What does “scratch〞 in the last paragraph mean?A. to rub the skin of (the head) for uncertaintyB. to strike (the head ) for regretC. to nodded for sureD. to look back to search for somethingBYou might think that “global warming〞 means nothing more than a rise in the world'stemperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation 〔撤离〕of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water. Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions〔导致温室效应的气体排放〕,which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,〞 Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable〔易受影响的〕to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation〞.55. The text is mainly about ________ .A. rapid changes in earth's temperatureB. bad effects of global warmingC. moving of a country to a new placeD. reasons for lowland flooding56. According to scientists ,the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is _________ .A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nationsB. higher surface water temperatures of the seaC. continuous global warmingD. rising sea levels57. Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissionsB. sign an agreement with TuvaluC. allow Tuvaluans to move to the USD. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real58. The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.A. AustraliaB. New ZealandC. the MaldivesD. the United States59. Which of the following words has the similar meaning as the word “forefathers〞inthe fourth paragraph?A. citizensB. relativesC. ancestorsD. friendsCNo country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted (引用) all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of the these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain and give as much information as possible, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try and appeal to readers of all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.60. There are fewer national newspapers in ___________A. Britain than in the USAB. France than in BritainC. the USA than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the USA or Britain61. Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because __________A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime and gossipD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way62. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preferenceby___________A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints63. The passage is mainly about ______________A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapersDExternal bleeding〔1〕Apply direct pressure. Place a clean, folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure. If blood soaks through, do not remove it. Instead, cover thatcloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7~10 minutes. If the bleeding is from the ear, place a clean bandage over the ear, lay the victim on his side, and allow the blood to drain out through the bandage.〔2〕Elevate the injury. Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.〔3〕Know the pressure points. If direct pressure and elevation don't sufficiently slow the bloodflow, find a pressure point. Large arteries(动脉) found close to the skin's surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg. The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases〔皱纹〕 above the upper legs. Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery. If using the pressure point on a leg, you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your finger.〔4〕Resort to a tourniquet〔止雪带，压脉器〕.On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail. To prevent the victim from dying, you should apply a tourniquet. Once a tourniquet is applied, it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help. Use a tourniquet ONLY if everything listed above has failed. If you use a tourniquet, write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied, so medical personal will know how long it has been in place.64. According to the passage, if a person is wounded and bleeding, you should _____.A. cover the wound with a clean, folded cloth and press itB. spread some salve (药膏) on the woundC. pressed the wound firmly with your fingerD. place a clean bandage over the wound65. If the blood soak through the cloth, you should _____.A. change a clean one immediatelyB. wash the wound at onceC. press the wound firmly with your handD. cover that one with another one and press it66. The underlined word in the sentence “apply〞 means _____.A. 申请B.应用C. 实施D. 生效67. In this passage _____ ways are mentioned to stop blood.A. fourB. threeC. twoD. one68. According to the passage, we know that _____.A. it is better to put the injured part above the head to stop bleedingB. large arteries deep in the muscle supply blood to the head and to each arm and legC. we should use a tourniquet first to stop bleedingD. the most common pressure points lie in the upper arms and in the crease above theupper legs四、单句改错1.His action has left a deeply impression on people’s minds.2.The surroundings villages have been absorbed into the growing city.3.Can you recommend a person who can take in the job?4.He seems to be lacking of common sense.5.After his wife’s death, it took him two years to get back to his feet.6.To be honest, I can’t come up with the noise.7.He left, leaving the door unlock.8.I believe the house was deliberate set fire to.9.Not until late into the night he finished the report.10.Your girl friend might accuse you about dishonesty.11.It’s helpful to put children in a situation that they can see themselvesdifferently.12.The job to which you have applied is honorable and well paid.13.Women used to do fewer hard jobs than men, but now they are doing just as much.14.While studied in Beijing University, he got to know a lot of famous professors.15.Mr. Smith treated his friend for lunch so as to thank him for his help.五、翻译句子1.我想让我的孩子在健康的环境下成长。

But before doing so, he took a photograph of the scene with the woman to avoid being charged with knocking her down. Several similar cases were reported across the country during the Spring Festival, leaving people with mixed feelings, says Cao Pengcheng in an article in People's Daily.Altruism(利他主义) is part of Chinese culture, and there is no lack of good Samaritans(乐善好施者) in the country. But recently, says Cao, some good Samaritans were blackmailed by the people who they helped. It made altruism a tough issue.Cao says that it is a good thing for people to become more business-minded.but it is one thing to do as cost-benefit analysis (分析) in business, and quite another to measure whether a person in need is worth helping. I people always make such materialistic calculation(物质计算),they will further lower social and moral (道德) standards.Fortunately,says Cao,there are still people like the man in Taizhou who deepen our belief in altruism and kindheartedness by continuing to help others, despite knowing that the existing system and rules in the county do not offer enough protection for good Samaritans. 4．What did the man do in Taizhou?A．He charged the woman with knocking him down.B．He helped the woman knocked down by a bicycle.C．He sent the woman knocked down by him to a hospital.D．He took a photo of the scene before helping the woman.5．What does the underlined word “blackmailed” mean in paragraph 2?A．Appreciated.B．Threatened.C．Killed.D．Helped. 6．According to paragraph 3, making materialistic calculations___________.A．will lower social and moral standardsB．is bad for doing business with othersC．is good for helping a person in needD．will slow down people's business mind7．What would be the best title for the text?A．To Help or Not to Help B．Traditional Chinese CultureC．A Bad Traffic Accident D．How to Do Good BusinessDo you love seeing beautiful lanterns outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. This year it is on Feb22, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations.Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect for gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the declining (消退的) darkness of winter.Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people paste (粘贴) riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. “Ten plus ten, still is ten, ten minus ten, again is ten.” Guess what? It is a pair of gloves.In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns.A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom, where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people bless family members and make wishes. Releasing river lights is also a way to bless for each other. Usually, the lights are in the shape of a lotus (荷花).In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Anxiously, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the declining light.”8．When do people celebrate the Lantern Festival?A．On the 22nd day of the first lunar month.B．On the 15th day of the first solar month.C．On the 22nd day of February every year.D．On the 15th day of the first lunar month.9．Which of the following statements about the Lantern Festival is TRUE?A．People paste riddles to show off their knowledge.B．Young girls were not allowed to go out on the day.C．People light lanterns to drive animals away.D．People make wishes when releasing lights.10．How do you feel about the line from Xin Qiji?A．Sad.B．Scared.C．Romantic.D．Anxious. 11．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Origin of the Lantern FestivalB．River Lights on the Lantern FestivalC．Celebrations of the Lantern FestivalD．A day to Guess Lantern RiddlesYou start by running around the school track three times to warm up. This is followed by exercises or long jump for the girls and football or basketball for the boys. That is an average 45 -minute PE class— but do you really enjoy it?For students at the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, sports classes have experienced a welcome change. Senior 2 students now learn the traditional Chinese martial art of sword-fighting (中国剑术), making PE the most popular lesson on the timetable. “The classes used to be boring as we just did the same things again and again,” said Xiao Tong. “But now PE classes are such fun. Sword-fighting is so cool.” His classmate Wei Jie agrees. “As well as being fun, we learn about traditional Chinese culture,” she said. The usual morning exercises performed to music on the school playground have been replaced by kicking and punching practice (搏击操) to a pop music by Zheng Xiuwen. “We didn't pay much attention when we heard the old music,” Xiao explained, “But when Zheng's music is played, we get excited.” Mao Min, the PE teacher who introduced the changes, is pleased that the students now enjoy sports lessons more. “The classes encourage healthy lifestyles and I am always looking for creative ways to keep the students active,” he said. Schools offer activities according to what sports facilities (设备) they have. For example,students at the Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University can choose to learn swimming, taekwondo (跆拳道) or volleyball. “I take my volleyball very seriously so I keep fit by playing it,” said Senior 2 student Zhang Zheng. “Students only try hard in sports that interest them.”12．Why was Xiao Tong not interested in PE classes in the past?A．Because he didn't do well in sports.B．Because he disliked the same activities.C．Because he thought the classes too long-D．Because he was tired of the PE teacher.13．Which sport is NOT mentioned in the text?A．Sword-fighting.B．V olleyball.C．Skating.D．Punchingpractice.14．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Sword-fighting appears in PE classes.B．Students try hard in all sports at school.C．Schools offer necessary sports facilities.D．PE classes are welcoming new changes.15．What is the attitude of the students towards new PE classes?A．Supportive.B．Negative.C．Uncaring.D．Doubtful.二、七选五Losing weight is tough. For most people, it requires a change in diet, a change in exercise habits, and a change in attitude. 16Set healthy goals.If you're overweight and want to change that, the first step is deciding what your target weight is. 17Start small.Making major behavior changes isn't something that happens overnight. 18 Keep eating 5 servings of vegetables a day, exercise 2 days a week for the first week, and then add a little more each week.19Now it's time to start working towards that goal. The best way to stick with your diet and exercise rules is to track it. There are plenty of apps that allow you to do this. Or you can do it in an old way and keep a written food and exercise journal. Find what works for you and write down what you've achieved every day.Evaluate (评估) and adjust.Every month you should take a look at your goal and see what type of progress you've made towards achieving it. If you're not where you want to be, make small adjustments. Try doing different exercises or cutting back on certain types of foods that you may be eating too much of.20 Find what just works for you and stick with it.A．Track your diet and exercise.B．Here's how you can achieve all the three.C．You might as well start with your own attitude.D．What steps are you going to take to stick with your diet?E．So start with 1-2 things per week and work up from there.F．Losing weight and keeping it off is a highly personal thing.G．Write down your goal and set a date by which you want to achieve that goal.三、完形填空On a corner in Crown Point, Indiana, sits a cafe at the heart of the community.

He was, as he put it, “not very bright” and couldn’t win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who pr eferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded(恳求) with his parents year after year not to send him. “The thought was, ‘It’ll be good for him,’” he recalled.It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied for five years. “My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “I wasn't even smart enough to rebel. The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”Now, at age of 55, Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month.The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, anagent for the British intelligence agency M16.Horowitz said he doesn't try to write for kids; it just es out that way. “I have a feeling it's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he said.The style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, it's all about entertaining people with a good story.Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself.I do believe it pletely.”56. In the boarding school, Horowitz’s teachers ________.A. thought little about his abilityB. showed great concern for himC. taught him how to write storiesD. often criticized him57. Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?A. He was the beloved child of his family.B. He benefited a lot from boarding school.C. He emphasizes the plot rather than characters in stories.D. Although he is successful, he isn’t very happy.58. What advice does Horowitz have for readers?A. Interest is the best teacher.B. Hardship teaches valuable lessons.C. Confidence is the key to success.D. Industry is the parent of success.59. In which section can you most probably read the passage?A. Campus TrendsB. Culture & LeisureC. Our WorldD. Science LifeBMini Book Excerpts（节选）BiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor. J. D. Salinger：A Life by Kenneth Slawenski（Random House,$27）Mystery“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only one who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it ? ” The boy was staring stubbornly (固执地；倔强地) at his lap again.A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, “Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly.Red Wolf by Liza Marklund（Atria Books, $25. 99）Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Somewomen are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give , and some women only know how to take. Some wome n learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t.You Are Free by Danzy Senna（Riverhead Books,$15）HumorDo your kids like to have fun? e to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times!’s “amusement cycling” is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disney World when you can spend less than half of that within a day’s drive of most cities?Happy: And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle （Ecco,$14. 99）60. If the readers want to know about the life of Salinger, they should buy the book published by ________.A. EccoB. Random HouseC.Riverhead Books D. Atria Books61. The book Happy :And Other Bad Thoughts is intended for ________.A. young childrenB. Disney World workersC. middle school teachersD. parents with young children62. Which book describes women with characters of their own?A. You Are FreeB. J. D. Salinger: A LifeC. Happy: And Other Bad ThoughtsD. Red Wolf63. After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that ________.A. the murderer got away with the crimeB. Benny died of an accidentC. the boy helped arrest the murdererD. Annika carried out the crimeCI must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day."Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?""I try to.""Well, don't," he exclaimed. "When you grow up, time won't e in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will bee a part of your life."When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and mittee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the nextweek I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had bee heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano—playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.There is an important trick in this time—using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes forwriting, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time es. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the fiveor ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hoursI need, if I plunge（投⼊）in without delay.64. The meaning of “stretch” in the underlined part is the same as that in sentence “________”.A. Bob worked as a government official for a stretch of over twenty years.B. The forests in the north of the province stretch for hundreds of miles.C. My family wasn’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.D. During his senior year his earnings far enough to buy an old car.65. We can infer that the writer ________.A. has new books published each year however busy his teaching isB. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching scheduleis always heavyC. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsD. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so he'sdevoted to work instantly66. What is the best title of this passage?A. Concentrate on Your WorkB. A Little at aTimeC. How I Became a WriterD. Good Advice Is Most ValuableDThe interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may decide whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your purpose during the interview may differ from that of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job-hunting is very petitive. Anything you can do to improveyour interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job. Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Do n’t say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and the interview asks about it, be honest.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the pany by asking questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and benefits of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a showof confidence, and you many have much to gain. It may be real, or it maybe a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and have pleted the paperwork.67. To get the job you want, during the interview you should ________.A. avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to embarrass youB. remember that you are the bestC. make yourself stand out as the right person for the jobD. tell yourself that you want to get the job68. If you did not get along with your former employer, you ________.A. should tell a lie to the interviewerB. should not speak ill of himC. should refer to him in a factual mannerD. should never mention it69. The underlined word “adverse” in the sixth paragra ph can be replaced by ________.A. difficultB. friendlyC. oppositeD. different70. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how to make your strengths understoodB. how to show your interest in the jobC. how to be frank and sincereD. how to deal with an interviewIV. 任务型阅读Of the hundreds of self-change techniques that have been suggested over the centuries, perhaps only a dozen are totally different. Researchers have tried to see which ones work best.Three technique s deserve special mention: they’re powerful, simple and easy to learn.What’s more, individuals who have made successful changes in their lives—changes in eating habits, career paths, coping strategies, and so on—often rely on one or more of the three techniques.To get yourself started in a new direction, try the Three M’s:Modify your environmentPeople who have never tried this are astonished by the enormous effect it often has. I’ve known several people who have overe nail-biting simply by buying 50 nail files and distributing them everywhere: in their pockets, their desks and their bedrooms. With a nail file always within reach, they tended to groom rather than bite. To change yourself, change your world.Monitor your behaviorI’ve been reading researc h studies on self-monitoring for 20 years, and I’ve conducted some myself. The fact is, if youmonitor what you do, you’ll probably do better.A study by Canadian researchers showed that teenagers arrived more promptly at a swim practice when they were given an attendance sheet to record their arrival times. Sonya Carr and Rebecca Punzo reported that self-monitoring improves academic performance of emotionally disturbed children in reading, mathematics and spelling. Dozens of studies have similar results, all inspired by heightening our awareness of our behavior.Make mitmentsWhen you mit yourself to another person, you establish a possibility of reinforcement (后效强化)；you’ve automatically arranged for a reward if you stick to it and a punishment if you don’t. It puts some pressure on you, and that’s often just what you need.For instance, if you want to exercise more, arrange to do it with a friend. If you don’t show up, your friend will get angry, and that may be just the ticket to keeping you punctual(准时的). In 1994 Dana Putnam and other researchers showed that patients who made written mitments were far morelikely to take prescribed medicine than patients who hadn’t.There’s good news here for all of us. We can meet many of the demands and overe many of the challenges of life with simple skills that anyone can master an d that don’t require willpower---in other words, with skill, not will.Change your bad habits to goodParagraphoutlineSupporting detailsIntroduction[·Most of self-change techniques that have beensuggested before are ( 71 )________.·People who are ( 72 ) ________in making changes intheir lives often rely on one or more of the Three M’s.Modify your ( 73 ) ________·Those who have never tried this method can( 74 ) ________enormously from it.·Several people have overe nail-biting with a nail file always( 75 ) ________reach.(76)________your behavior ·If you monitor what you do, you are very( 77 )________to do better.·The more you bee( 78 ) ________of what you’re doing, the better you will perform.Make mitments·mitting yourself to someone else will pressure you tocarry it out, which helps reward yourself.·The patients who made written mitmentsprobably( 79 )________。

He was, as he put it, “not very bright” and couldn’t win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who pref erred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded(恳求) with his parents year after year not to send him. “The thought was, ‘It’ll be good for him,’” he recalled.It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied for five years. “My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “I wasn't even smart enough to rebel. The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”Now, at age of 55, Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month.The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, anagent for the British intelligence agency M16.Horowitz said he doesn't try to write for kids; it just es out that way. “I have a feeling it's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he s aid.The style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, it's all about entertaining people with a good story.Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself.I do believe it pletely.”56. In the boarding school, Horowitz’s teachers ________.A. thought little about his abilityB. showed great concern for himC. taught him how to write storiesD. often criticized him57. Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?A. He was the beloved child of his family.B. He benefited a lot from boarding school.C. He emphasizes the plot rather than characters in stories.D. Although he is successful, he isn’t very happy.58. What advice does Horowitz have for readers?A. Interest is the best teacher.B. Hardship teaches valuable lessons.C. Confidence is the key to success.D. Industry is the parent of success.59. In which section can you most probably read the passage?A. Campus TrendsB. Culture & LeisureC. Our WorldD.

D. Salinger：A Life by Kenneth Slawenski（Random House,$27）Mystery“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only one who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it ? ” The boy was staring stubbornly (固执地；倔强地) at his lap again.A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, “Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly.Red Wolf by Liza Marklund（Atria Books, $25. 99）Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Somewomen are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give , and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be.

Which book describes women with characters of their own?A. You Are FreeB. J. D. Salinger: A LifeC. Happy: And Other Bad ThoughtsD. Red Wolf63. After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that ________.A. the murderer got away with the crimeB. Benny died of an accidentC. the boy helped arrest the murdererD. Annika carried out the crimeCI must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day."Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?""I try to.""Well, don't," he exclaimed. "When you grow up, time won't e in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will bee a part of your life."When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and mittee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the nextweek I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had bee heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano—playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.There is an important trick in this time—using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time es. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the fiveor ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hoursI need, if I plunge（投入）in without delay.64. The meaning of “stretch” in the underlined part is the same as that in sentence “________”.A. Bob worked as a government official for a stretch of over twenty years.B. The forests in the north of the province stretch for hundreds of miles.C. My family wasn’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.D. During his senior year his earnings far enough to buy an old car.65. We can infer that the writer ________.A. has new books published each year however busy his teaching isB. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching scheduleis always heavyC. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsD. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so he'sdevoted to work instantly66. What is the best title of this passage?A. Concentrate on Your WorkB. A Little at aTimeC. How I Became a WriterD. Good Advice Is Most ValuableDThe interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may decide whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your purpose during the interview may differ from that of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job-hunting is very petitive. Anything you can do to improveyour interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Don’t say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and the interview asks about it, be honest.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the pany by asking questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and benefits of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a showof confidence, and you many have much to gain. It may be real, or it maybe a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and have pleted the paperwork.67. To get the job you want, during the interview you should ________.A. avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to embarrass youB. remember that you are the bestC. make yourself stand out as the right person for the jobD. tell yourself that you want to get the job68. If you did not get along with your former employer, you ________.A. should tell a lie to the interviewerB. should not speak ill of himC. should refer to him in a factual mannerD. should never mention it69. The underlined word “adverse” in the sixth paragraph can be replaced by ________.A. difficultB. friendlyC. oppositeD. different70. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how to make your strengths understoodB. how to show your interest in the jobC. how to be frank and sincereD. how to deal with an interviewIV. 任务型阅读Of the hundreds of self-change techniques that have been suggested over the centuries, perhaps only a dozen are totally different. Researchers have tried to see which ones work best.Three techniques deserve special mention: they’re powerful, simple and easy to learn.What’s more, individuals who have made successful changes in their lives—changes in eating habits, career paths, coping strategies, and so on—often rely on one or more of the three techniques.To get yourself started in a new direction, try the Three M’s:Modify your environmentPeople who have never tried this are astonished by the enormous effect it often has. I’ve known several people who have overe nail-biting simply by buying 50 nail files and distributing them everywhere: in their pockets, their desks and their bedrooms. With a nail file always within reach, they tended to groom rather than bite. To change yourself, change your world.Monitor your behaviorI’ve been reading research studies on self-monitoring for 20 years, and I’ve conducted some myself. The fact is, if you monitor what you do, you’ll probably do better.A study by Canadian researchers showed that teenagers arrived more promptly at a swim practice when they were given an attendance sheet to record their arrival times. Sonya Carr and Rebecca Punzo reported that self-monitoring improves academic performance of emotionally disturbed children in reading, mathematics and spelling. Dozens of studies have similar results, all inspired by heightening our awareness of our behavior.Make mitmentsWhen you mit yourself to another person, you establish a possibility of reinforcement (后效强化)；you’ve automatically arranged for a reward if you stick to it and a punishment if you don’t. It puts some pressure on you, and that’s often just what you need.For instance, if you want to exercise more, arrange to do it with a friend. If you don’t show up, your friend will get angry, and that may be just the ticket to keeping you punctual(准时的). In 1994 Dana Putnam and other researchers showed that patients who made written mitments were far morelikely to take prescribed medicine than patients who hadn’t.There’s good news here for all of us. We can meet many of the demands and overe many of the challenges of life with simple skills that anyone can master an d that don’t require willpower---in other words, with skill, not will.Change your bad habits to goodParagraphoutlineSupporting detailsIntroduction[·Most of self-change techniques that have beensuggested before are ( 71 )________.·People who are ( 72 ) ________in making changes intheir lives often rely on one or more of the Three M’s.Modify your ( 73 ) ________·Those who have never tried this method can( 74 ) ________enormously from it.·Several people have overe nail-biting with a nail file always( 75 ) ________reach.(76)________your behavior ·If you monitor what you do, you are very( 77 )________to do better.·The more you bee( 78 ) ________of what you’re doing, the better you will perform.Make mitments·mitting yourself to someone else will pressure you tocarry it out, which helps reward yourself.·The patients who made written mitmentsprobably( 79 )________medicine as instructed by doctors.Conclusion Anyone can satisfy most of his demands and overe mostof the challenges with simple skills(80 ) ________ thangreat willpower.V. 单词拼写81.

Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss, or an insensitive employee 16 your day?Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed 17 the airport. We were driving in the 18 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 19 , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 20 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started 21 at us.My taxi driver just 22 and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was 23 ,so I said，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".He said, “ Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 24, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 25 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 26 . Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be 27 .”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 28 it to other people at work, athome, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with29 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s30 in your life.

You store the bad memories more easily, and you __32 them more frequently. So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you _33 it！The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 34 go of the bad.Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today 35 the harvest you reap tomorrow.16.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AWhen TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes－the TV cameramen－have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world andrecord them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN－have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.36. TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to .A. save expense and avoid risksB. get free and useful picturesC. get first-hand information and picturesD. satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen37. We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen .A. have to take a lot of risks in the course of workB. are tied to many TV news agenciesC. have better skills than other cameramenD. need to contract out risks of work for TV companies38. According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies .A. have employed enough cameramenB. are not willing to employ many cameramenC. are very mean to freelancersD. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured39. The author of this passage shows his the freelance cameramen.A. sympathy toB. respect forC. anger toD. admiration toBWill it matter if you don't have your breakfast ? A short time ago , a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts. The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast , he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight . This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch . They will gain weight instead of losing it . You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.40. During the test , the people were given _______.A. no breakfast at all .B. different breakfasts or sometimes noneC. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast41. Scientists wanted to know whether _______.A. breakfast had any effect on work and studies.B. people were interested in breakfastC. breakfast did harm to people’s healthD. people would work better without breakfast42. According to the passage, some people think without breakfast they will ____A. lose weightB. get a good result in their workC. gain weightD. not be hungry at all.43. Which of the following sentences is not right?A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.B. No breakfast and more lunch may make you fatter.C. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you will learn in class.D. If you don't eat much for lunch and supper , you may lose weight.CWhen Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All,her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out andbe as helpful as I can be."44.
