However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—53 most of the time, and especially when it's not areally big 54 .Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little 55 , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.36. A. lonely B. great C. quiet D. uneasy37. A. received B. answered C. expected D. rejected38.

Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy (辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!56. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must __ .A. wear various formal clothesB. roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC. kick or throw their cheeseD. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos57. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A. In New Mexico.B. In the Caribbean.C. In Australia.D. In China.58. The celebration of La Tomatina lasts ___________ .A. three daysB. seven daysC. less than three daysD. more than seven days59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.B. More than 10,000 Chinese take pail in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.BPapa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There's so much to learn,” he'd say. “Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.”He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.“Felice,” he'd say, “tell me what you learned today.”“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....”Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal… Hmm… We ll…” he'd say. “Get the map; let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.60. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. The author's father was born in a worker's family.B. Those born stupid could not change their life.C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D. The poor could hardly afford school education.61. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “ _A. one new thingB. a requestC. the newsD. some comment62. It can be learned from the passage that the author __ .A. enjoyed talking about newsB. knew very well about NepalC. felt regret about those wasted daysD. appreciated his father's educational technique63. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?A. Continual learning.B. Showing talents.C. Family get-together.D. Winning Papa's approval.64. The author's father can be best described as __ .A. an educator expert at training future teachersB. a parent insistent on his children's educationC. a participant willing to share his knowledgeD. a teacher strict about everything his students didCSIGN YOUR CHILD UP FOR “FLY TO THE MOON CLUB”AND ENJOY A FREE * FLIGHT TO ANY DESTINATION IN ASIA!With a registration fee of just $50 per child, children under the age of 12 can join Eagle Airways'FL Y TO THE MOON CLUB as members.They can then enjoy the same benefits onboard Eagle Airways' newest Boeing-797 to any destination in the world!BENEFITS YOU CAN'T MISS!• A free * flight to any destination in Asia•30% off any course at Tanya Language School•20% off any purchase made at Ruby Bookstore• A free notebook with every purchase above $50 at Starlight Stationery• A free bowl of dessert for a family of four at Don's Diners dinner ordered• A birthday gift on your child's birthday• A free album containing pictures taken during the journeyAll bookings made before 12 September will receive free travel insurance for the entire family!** Insurance is issued by Live Life Insurance Group.10% OFF ALL BOOKINGSfor departures from 5 to 11 September* Child must be accompanied by two paying adults.** Terms and conditions apply.65.

The advertisement is intended for students of all ages.D. Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.DLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking whatwe wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and “what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling (烦人的) suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping “you”.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.68. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ______________ .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have69. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.70. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.71. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.EGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽）, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.72. The first paragraph focuses on ____ .A. the greatest challenge of group exerciseB. the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC. the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups73. The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means “A. cheerfulB. averageC. seriousD. temporal*)'74. When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary .A. to sustain a colorful lifestyleB. to party on weekends with positive peopleC. to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD. to surround yourself with supportive people75. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Seeking SupportB. Supporting HealthC. Improving Your StrengthD. Building Up Fitness书面表达(满分25分）请阅读下面图画，按要求用英语写一篇词数为120左右的短文。

around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations，but the 2，000English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans．Teams of four，dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes，roll a complete cheese along a 50﹣metre course．On the way，they must not kick or throw their cheese，or go into their competitors'lane．Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos （disappointingly，but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones）．All thecompetitors arc served with beer or port wine，the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese．Fiery Foods Festival﹣The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10，000people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico．They come from as far away as Australia，the Caribbean and China，but theyall share a common addiction﹣food that is not just spicy（辛辣），but hot enough to make your mouth burn，your head spin and your eyes water．Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March．You might like to try a chocolate﹣covered habanero pepper﹣officially the hottest pepper in the world﹣or any one of the thousands of products that are on show．But one thing's for sure﹣if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue，this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina﹣The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina ﹣the world's largest food fight．A week﹣long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events．The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes﹣official fight﹣starters get things going by casting tomatoes at thecrowd．The battle lasts little more than half an hour，in which time around 50，000kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves，runs，or fights back．Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again﹣and for a much ﹣needed wash!56．In the Stilton cheese rolling competition，competitors on each team must．A．wear various formal clothesB．roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC．kick or throw their cheeseD．use a real cheese weighing about four kilos57．Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held？A．In New Mexico．B．In the Caribbean．C．In Australia．D．In China．58．The

tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina．60．（10分）Papa，as a son of a dirt﹣poor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then．So，the world became his school．With great interest，he read everything he could lay his hands on，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown．"There's so much to learn，"he'd say．"Though we're born stupid，only the stupid remain that way．"He was determined that none of his children would be denied （拒绝）an education．Thus，Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day．Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request．And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned．We would talk about the news of the day；no matter how insignificant，it was never taken lightly．Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment，always to the point．Then came the moment﹣the time to share the day's new learning．Papa，at the head of the table，would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine，ready to listen．"Felice，"he'd say，"tell me what you learned today．""I learned that the population of Nepal is…"Silence．Papa was thinking about what was said，as if the salvation（拯救）of the world woulddepend upon it．"The population of Nepal．Hmm．Well…"he'd say．"Get the map；let's see where Nepal is．"And the whole family went on a search for Nepal．This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn．Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders．Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and participating in one another's education．And by looking at us，listening to us，respecting our input，affirming（肯定）our value，giving us a sense of dignity，Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher．Later during my training as a future teacher/1studied with some of the most famous educators．They were imparting（传授）what Papa had known all along﹣the value of continual learning．His technique has served me well all my life．Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful．60．What do we know from the first paragraph？A．The author's father was born in a worker's family．B．Those born stupid could not change their life．C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world．D．The poor could hardly afford school education．61．The underlined word"it"in the second paragraph refers to""．A．one new thingB．a requestC．the newsD．some comment62．It can be learned from the passage that the author．A．enjoyed talking about newsB．knew very well about NepalC．felt regret about those wasted daysD．appreciated his father's educational technique63．What is the greatest value of"dinner time"to the author？A．Continual learning．B．Showing talents．C．Family get﹣together．D．Winning Papa's approval．64．The author's father can be best described as．A．an educator expert at training future teachersB．a parent insistent on his children's educationC．a participant willing to share his knowledgeD．a teacher strict about everything his students did．65．（6分）SIGN YOUR CHILD UP FOR"FLY TO THE MOON CLUB"AND ENJOY A FREE*FLIGHT TO ANY DESTINATION IN ASIA!With a registration fee of just﹩50

advertisement is intended for students of all ages．D．Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult．68．（8分）Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy．It can also be full of challenges，setbacks and heartbreaks．Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires﹣that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones．Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place．This tension between what we feel we can have and"what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering，the anxiety we feel．This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up．But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more．The intelligence behind that knowing is us﹣the real us．It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities．If you drop that，you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you"．So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns？Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time．This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges．While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind﹣or the minds of those close to us﹣usually says we can't．That isn't a reason to stop，it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again．It has done it many times before．It's all about starting simple and doing it now．Decide and act before overthinking．When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way．68．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should．A．slow down and live a simple lifeB．be careful when we choose to changeC．stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD．be content with what we already have69．What is the key to breaking the old patterns？．A．To focus on every detail．B．To decide and take immediate action．C．To listen to those close to us．D．To think twice before we act．70．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph？．A．Escape from your punishment．B．Realization of your dreams．C．Freedom from your tension．D．Reduction of your expectations．71．What does the author intend to tell us？．A．It's easier than we think to get what we want．B．It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life．C．It's impractical to change our way of thinking．D．It's harder than we expect to follow a new course．72．（8分）Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle．Group exercise is challenging，yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body．However，studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups，it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health．It's an opportunity to be social，release endorphins（内啡肽），and improve your strength．Additionally，group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard．The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journeywith others proves more effective than going to the gym alone．Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor．Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves．If you feel you can relate，then group training is an even better option for you．It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision （监管）of a fitness instructor．If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored，you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track．Don't letfitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support．I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to

competitors'lane．Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos （disappointingly，but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones）．All thecompetitors arc served with beer or port wine，the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese．Fiery Foods Festival﹣The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10，000people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico．They come from as far away as Australia，the Caribbean and China，but theyall share a common addiction﹣food that is not just spicy（辛辣），but hot enough to make your mouth burn，your head spin and your eyes water．Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March．You might like to try a chocolate﹣covered habanero pepper﹣officially the hottest pepper in the world﹣or any one of the thousands of products that are on show．But one thing's for sure﹣if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue，this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina﹣The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina ﹣the world's largest food fight．A week﹣long celebration leads

tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina．60．（10分）Papa，as a son of a dirt﹣poor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then．So，the world became his school．With great interest，he read everything he could lay his hands on，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown．"There's so much to learn，"he'd say．"Though we're born stupid，only the stupid remain that way．"He was determined that none of his children would be denied （拒绝）an education．Thus，Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day．Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request．And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned．We would talk about the news of the day；no matter how insignificant，it was never taken lightly．Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment，always to the point．Then came the moment﹣the time to share the day's new learning．Papa，at the head of the table，would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine，ready to listen．"Felice，"he'd say，"tell me what you learned today．""I learned that the population of Nepal is…"Silence．Papa was thinking about what was said，as if the salvation（拯救）of the world woulddepend upon it．"The population of Nepal．Hmm．Well…"he'd say．"Get the map；let's see where Nepal is．"And the whole family went on a search for Nepal．This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn．Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders．Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and participating in one another's education．And by looking at us，listening to us，respecting our input，affirming（肯定）our value，giving us a sense of dignity，Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher．Later during my training as a future teacher/1studied with some of the most famous educators．They were imparting（传授）what Papa had known all along﹣the value of continual learning．His technique has served me well all my life．Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful．60．What do we know from the first paragraph？A．The author's father was born in a worker's family．B．Those born

advertisement is intended for students of all ages．D．Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult．68．（8分）Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy．It can also be full of challenges，setbacks and heartbreaks．Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires﹣that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones．Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place．This tension between what we feel we can have and"what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering，the anxiety we feel．This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up．But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more．The intelligence behind that knowing is us﹣the real us．It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities．If you drop that，you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you"．So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns？Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time．This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges．While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind﹣or the minds of those close to us﹣usually says we can't．That isn't a reason to stop，it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again．It has done it many times before．It's all about starting simple and doing it now．Decide and act before overthinking．When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way．68．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should．A．slow down and live a simple lifeB．be careful when we choose to changeC．stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD．be content with what we already have69．What is the key to breaking the old patterns？．A．To focus on every detail．B．To decide and take immediate action．C．To listen to those close to us．D．To think twice before we act．70．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph？．A．Escape from your punishment．B．Realization of your dreams．C．Freedom from your tension．D．Reduction of your expectations．71．What does the author intend to tell us？．A．It's easier than we think to get what we want．B．It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life．C．It's impractical to change our way of thinking．D．It's harder than we expect to follow a new course．72．（8分）Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle．Group exercise is challenging，yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body．However，studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups，it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health．It's an opportunity to be social，release endorphins（内啡肽），and improve your strength．Additionally，group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard．The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journeywith others proves more effective than going to the gym alone．Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor．Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves．If you feel you can relate，then group training is an even better option for you．It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision （监管）of a fitness instructor．If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored，you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track．Don't letfitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support．I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health．Surround yourself with people who uplift，encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class，with a friend．Plan to go for a jog together．Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals．First，decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive．Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive．Don't let negativity ruin your motivation．72．The first paragraph focuses on．A．the greatest challenge of group exerciseB．the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC．the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD．the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups73．The underlined word"upbeat"in the second paragraph probably means""．A．cheerfulB．averageC．seriousD．temporary74．When it comes to emotional support，the author thinks it necessary．A．to sustain a colorful lifestyleB．to party on weekends with positive peopleC．to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD．to surround yourself with supportive people75．What would be the best title for the passage？．A．Seeking SupportB．Supporting HealthC．Improving Your StrengthD．Building Up Fitness．五、解答题（共两节，满分10分）第一节短文填词(共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1)汉语提示，2)首字母提示，3)语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，所填的词要求意义准确，拼写正确，并将该词完整地写在相应的横线上。

Club members enjoy free travel insurance for any flight.C. The advertisement is intended for students of all ages.D. Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.DLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折）and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls（陷阱）that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling（烦人的）suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't. That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.68. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ____ .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have69.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.70.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.71. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.EGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持）a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内咖肽）, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.72. The first paragraph focuses on______.A. the greatest challenge of group exerciseB. the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC. the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups73. The underlined word "upbeat" in the second paragraph probably means "______".A. cheerfulB. averageC. seriousD. temporary74. When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary______.A. t o sustain a colorful lifestyleB. t o party on weekends with positive peopleC. t o try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD. t o surround yourself with supportive people75. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Seeking SupportB. Supporting HealthC. Improving Your StrengthD. Building Up FitnessWriting a funny speech is possibly a lot harder than writing a serious-minded one. Are you up for it? Well, if you think you are, try these steps.Choose a funny topic. Ask your partner, friends, etc., if they agree with you that you have chosen a funny topic. Nothing is less funny than choosing a topic that only satisfies your sense of humor but not anybody else’s. If you can’t think of a funny topic, choose one on an everyday activity. 36Research your topic. If you can’t think of enough witticisms (妙语) of your own, go online and hunt down other people’s. 37 But if you’re performing in public, be sure to acknowledge others’ or to paraphrase (改写) it so that you are not copying.Write in a humorous way.38 Don’t choose unclear references. Choose something that everyone is bound to know and understand. Naturally, this will depend on the make-up of those listening to your speech. Make jokes about your topic; that way, everyone will understand, unless the audience has a horrible sense of humor.39 If they don’t laugh, this might be a sign to rewrite your speech. Get a good listener. Someone who is a lot like the majority of your audience would be a good listener, because you will know exactly what to say to make them laugh.Have fun! If you go up to give your speech and you’re shaky and nervous because you don’t think anyone will laugh, everyone will be more focused on terrifying you than listening to your speech. 40 Chances are that you’ll never have to speak in front of them again.A.Ask your listeners to come back.B.Humor works best when everyone “gets it.”C.Just have a good time giving the speech and don’t mind your audience.D.That way, you can push the boundaries and make it amusing.E.People do get stage frights, but if you’re confident, then everything will go just fine.F. Read your speech out to someone trusted before giving itG. If you're at a private party, you won't need to be too concerned about using other people'smaterials.Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult ___61___ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy ___62___ (please) as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not ___63__ pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or __64___ (push) you with their elbows (肘部), hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.Jane paused in front of a counter ___65___ some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.” But Jane knew from past experience that her ___66___ (choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered.

Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane ___70___ (inform).短文改错：In the winter vacation, I paid a visit a mountain village in a suburb of Luoyang. No sooner had I got off the bus when I was greatly surprising to see all the changes. It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV set, they can enjoy plays at home. It impressed me most was that the best building in a village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.书面表达(满分25分）请阅读下面图画，按要求用英语写一篇词数为120左右的短文。
