第一部分：听力（1-20题略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ASports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and b uying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.21.

A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.Children were said to be too "spoiled" and "selfish" in one child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month. "Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions," Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.27.

Many schools have realized the problem and taken measures.CA shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon a beautiful castle where the wise man lived.Rather than finding a holy man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesmen came and went, people were chatting in the corners and a smallorchestra was playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.The wise man listened carefully to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, c arry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill”.The boy began to walk up and down stairs in the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned.“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries (波斯织锦) hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener 10 years to create?”The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.“Then go back and obser ve the wonderful things of my world,” said the wise man.Then the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens and the mountains all around him. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.“But where are the drops of oil I gave to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonder s of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”29. When the shopkeeper’s son arrived at the castle, he ______.A. received warm welcome from the wise manB. didn’t expect to see so many people aroundC. was shown around the palace by the local peopleD. had already missed his chance to talk to the wise man30. The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to ______.A. let the boy enjoy his palace and gardenB. show him how to observe the wonderful things in the worldC. make him learn from his mistakesD. teach him the secret of happiness31. We can infer from the article that “the drops of oil on the spoon” probably refer to ______.A. the beauty of natureB. the fortune a person ownsC. the responsibilities of a personD. the great opportunities in life32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.The wise man was satisfied with the way the boy performed the second taskB. It took the wise man about 10 years to finish his garden.C. The wise man wasn’t paying much attention to the boy at first.D. The boy took no notice of the surroundings during his first task.DSomeday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the website you have visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it is likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watchyou without permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-----the 21st century is the equal of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy and that it is important to reveal yourself to friends, families and lovers at appropriate time and places. But now few boundaries remain. The information you leave everywhere makes it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. Believe it or not, we live in a world where you simply can’t keep a secret. The key question is: does that matter?When you ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few refuse to offer personal information like Social Security numbers to get supermarket loyalty cards.But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It is like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it is gone do you wish you had done more to protect it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
