第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit，which most people always ignore. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure，because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, and crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. Certainly, you won’t feel any immediate effects, but you shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. When you sit with your legs crossed, your hips are in a twisted position. Not only does it cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate but also adds pressure on your lower and middle back and neck. So ideally it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor.
Moreover, your feet and legs might get painful or have the feeling of being asleep when you cross your legs for long periods of time. Since the veins and nerves are pressed, it can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
1、Which problem won’t sitting with your legs crossed cause?
A．Increased blood pressure B．Neck and back pain
C．Numbness D．Curving legs
2、How soon can we benefit from sitting with both of our feet on the floor?
A．In less than 15 minutes B．Only in a minute or two
C．For quite a long time D．In a month
3、Where is the text likely to be selected from？
A．A fiction B．A piece of newspaper
C．A textbook D．A journal of medicine
22．（8分）As more people opt for the single life, adult friendships also grow more important For people in relationships, having a reliable group is important, too-your mate will be much happier if you’re spreading your anxieties beyond his or her cars and you will also feel better.
In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the friendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology, the Big 5 personality traits (特征); extraversion, or how much you love attention and interacting with people; neuroticism, or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness, or how warm and kind you are; conscientiousness, or how careful you are about lifers many duties; and openness to experience, or how much you’re into discovering new things, whether they’re ideas, people, or places.
For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didn’t have anything to do with friendsh ip satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits-conscientiousness, extra version, and agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, it’s a pretty intuitive (直觉的) result, since it’s easy to be friends with someone who’s always on time, always saying that you’re right, and always up to hang out But if you don’t exactly identify with all that* fear not: Your personality is so much more than your traits.
1、What does the author think of the friendship?
A．It is helpful to dating and work.
B．It can relieve your negative emotions.
C．It has nothing to do with personality.
D．It is ba.sed on the 5 popular personality traits.
2、What did the recent study find?
A．The biggest 5 personality traits.
B．The methods of informing the friendships.
C．The ways to form the most popular personality.
D．The relationship between personality and friendships.
3、What does the underlined word “neuroticism” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Determination. B．Nervousness.
C．Hesitation. D．Optimism.
4、What opinion does the author hold?
A．It’s hard to please emotionally unstable people.
B．A punctual person can surely make more friends.
C．Friends arc more important than families for single persons.
D．The five traits arc equally demanded in getting higher friendship satisfaction.
23．（8分）This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow,I feel a rising embarrassment.”Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset?
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them,I have explored the mysterious,complicated bond between fathers and sons. As My wife and I raised them,I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce，I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around,I was unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now，sta nding among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions,I realize it's me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are
back,sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of aa guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,”Daddy，I don't think I need a blanket tonight.”I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I'll never have to worry about that again,I realize.
For his part,Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I'm glad.After all,someone's got to be strong.I'm proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.
1、What does the writer mean by “Pull yourself together!”?

24．（8分）There is no denying that some people live to be older than others. Followed arc the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿）？Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
According to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you I would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who
like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.
Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to Jong life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their way.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life i sn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
1、The purpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is . A．to see whether people's personality affects their life span
B．to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health
C．to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
D．to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
2、What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
A．They have a good understanding of evolution.
B．They are better at negotiating an agreement.
C．They generally appear more resourceful.
D．They are more likely to get over hardship.
3、What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?
A．Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.
B．Advantageous personality characteristics actually vary with times.
C．Such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.
D．Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.
4、What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Anxiety and depression cut one's life span short.
B．Longevity results from mental and physical health.
C．Personality plays a decisive role in longevity.
D．Health is in large part related to one's life style.
25．（10分）Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile”. With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything, was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into
well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn; When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common
method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough, It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that c ontribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.
1、Robert F, Kennedy is cited because he .
A．praised the UK for its GDP B．identified GDP with happiness
C．saw the problem with GDP D．misinterpreted the role of GDP
2、Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?
A．It is sponsored by 163 countries. B．It excludes GDP as an indicator.
C．Its criteria are questionable. D．Its results are inspiring.
3、In the last two paragraphs, the author suggests that .
A．the UK is preparing for an economic boom
B．high GDP predicts an economic decline
C．it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP
D．it requires caution to handle economic issues
4、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．High GDP But Inadequate Well-being, a UK Lesson
B．GDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic Health
C．Robert F. Kennedy, a Terminator of GDP
D．Brexit, the UK’s Gateway to Well-being
