Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 — also known as the “master” numbers —to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these tofulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be.Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers.If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways than we think.26. If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?A. 7B. 8C. 9D. 1127. To understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your ______.A. Life Path numberB. Expression numberC. birthdayD. name and birth date28. According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.A. stubbornB. home-lovingC. artisticD. imaginative29. According to the passage, numerologists believe that _________.A. Life Path number can be used to predict a person’s most challenging life periodsB. Expression number is the most meaningful for people to learn a person’s characterC. numbers can help people better understand themselvesD. numbers can be used to change a person’s future30. The function of the passage is __________.A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of numerologyB. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describesC. to describe some of the numerological practices and their purposeD. to tease those who take such beliefs seriouslyBMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and totake risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, as is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.31. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf.B. Skiing and skating.C. Cycling and hockey.D. Mountaineering.32. The und erlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.A. strong emotionB. good wayC. better feelingD. enough affection33. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.A. it has man-made rulesB. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it can’t bring people joy or leisureD. it is free for climbers to use their own methods34. We know from the passage that _______.A. mountaineering has no appeal for peopleB. physical quality is more important than the mental one for climbersC. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyD. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Sports in winterB. Team work in climbingC. MountaineeringD. The quality for mountaineeringCStudying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater ofactive volcanoes. But the 38-year-old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinar y as taking the dog for a walk.Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it’s not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of V esuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn’t take any unnecessa ry risk she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000°C, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision --- there wasn't time to do an ything else.”And what about the future? “I haven’t been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other vo lcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won’t be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.36. Hazel’s claim that “driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ______.A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the pastB. Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in.C. there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel livesD. Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces37. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?A. When she was visiting Italy.B. When she was at school.C. When she was twenty.D. When she saw V esuvius.38. The underlined word “these” (in paragraph 3) refers to __________.A. melting ice-capsB. volcanic eruptionsC. changes in sea levelD. higher temperatures39. When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to ________.A. take a dangerous routeB. take an unnecessary riskC. leave her boots behindD. walk for ten hours around the mountain40. In the future, Hazel wants to ________.A. revisit volcanoes she knowsB. go on holiday to the AntarcticC. find a less dangerous jobD. discover new things about volcanoesDAcross the planet there are millions of people who engage in some type of meditation, the practice of concentrating and clearing the mind to bring the body into a state of peace, at least a semi-regular basis. For some, particularly among practitioners of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, this is part and parcel of their religious practice.For others, particularly in Western cultures, meditation tends to be a response to stress. With the world economy approaching meltdown and people worried about their job or their ability to keep their hom e, it’s a way for people to attain a state of peace of mind and well-being.For those interested in taking up the practice, instruction in meditation for beginners can be found in literally thousands of sources.One of the most popular styles of mediation in the West, with classes offered in most major cities, is called Transcendental Meditation. TM, as it is known among its practitioners, first came to worldwide attention when the Beatles began practicing it in 1967. For direct, guided, personal instruction in meditation for the beginner, TM may be the hallmark.Part of the confusion about how to practice meditation effectively is due to the fact that there are literally hundreds of techniques championed by various groups and individuals. As a general principle, it might be said that all meditation techniques seek to have the practitioner attain a state of consciousness that is different to our ordinary state of awareness. They attempt to train people to clear their minds and achieve a sense of inner peac e. It sounds simple enough, but of the huge number of people experiment with meditation, very few are able to maintain its practice over the long haul. In most cases, this is due to frustration over the inability to experience any dramatic, instantly recognizable effects.This is quite a sad state of affairs, that so few these days are willing or equipped to persist in something that doesn’t provide immediate life-changing results. It reflects a culture in which demands for discipline and sustained effort are considered unnecessary or even unfair. It is no surprise therefore that many people abandon their efforts at meditation before they have a chance to bear fruit.But for anyone who does decide to take up this worthwhile practice, please remember. Y ou m ust clear your mind, relax and “take it as it comes”. Maintain the practice with a sense of discipline and devotion, and eventually benefits of inner peace and calm will be yours. 41. The underlined part “part and parcel of” in paragraph 1 is nearest in m eaning to________.A. closely associated withB. very different toC. usually sent fromD. an important element of42. The goal of meditation is ________.A. to clear the mindB. to practice a religionC. to develop a techniqueD. to carry out an experiment43. What can we infer about meditation from the passage?A. It has two main types.B. It is practiced by many famous artists.C. Its benefits are not immediately obvious.D. Most people find it a very good way to relax.44. According to the writer, what has attracted many Western people to meditation practices in recent years?A. Their improved understanding of foreign culture.B. The need to fill in their growing free time.C. Increasing employment instability.D. Migration from countries in which meditation is traditional.45. Who is the probable audience for this article?A. Experienced meditation practitioners.B. People interested in starting to learn meditation.C. Buddhists and Hindus.D. People who are very religious.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)首先请阅读下列电子产品的信息：A.
