She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you‘re thinking these days. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practise daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people believe in the way that they do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统). Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel have an influence on the health of your body.Stress (压力,紧张) is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody‘s life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body‘s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素). Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heart beat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can‘t fight or run away from, so you don‘t use up all that adrenaline. It just stays inside you. And that‘s what can do something bad to you.What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to chan ge things so you aren‘t under so much stress. You can make a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can‘t change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don‘t e ven want to. A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.78. According to the passage, when you leave the hospital, the doctor gives you some medicine and _______ as well.A. checks your feverB. looks at your throatC. tells you the reasons of your illnessD. advises you to practise thinking skills79. Why do the scientists believe that the way you think may be the cause of your illness?A. Because your brain is a part of your body.B. Because you always think in a wrong way.C. Because your nervous system is the most important.D. Because the way you think has connection with the health of your body.80. Which of the following is TRUE according the passage?A. You shouldn‘t go to the gym if you are under stress.B. One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline.C. Diseases and accidents are caused by stress.D. Stress can sometimes be helpful.81. A chemical called adrenaline can speed up ________.A. your breathing and heart beatB. your blood runningC. your brain thinkingD. your body relaxing82. Which of the following can NOT reduce stress according to the passage?A. Making a plan about your homework.B. Asking a psychologist for help.C. Going to your family or friends for help.D. Eating some sweet food.83. From the last sentence of this passage, we can know that ________.A. it‘s difficult to change a stressful situationB. it‘s not stressful when a good change take placeC. a big change can also cause another stressful situationD. a stressful situation can‘t be chan ged without any effort84. This passage mainly talks about _________.A. stress and illnessB. the importance of thinkingC. the advice on healthD. the nervous systemC.

Although it failed, he tried again in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not satisfied with it.

Three years later, Hershey built a factory to sell his chocolate bars.Hershey was usually pleasant, kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory, he was serious with the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst out when things didn‘t go as he‘d expected, and workers would be fired (解雇) for mistakes.My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats (大桶) of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and across the walkway. One day, Hershey was taking a walk while my grandfather was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Suddenly, Hershey fell into the vat. Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather was very frightened. Was he going to lose his job?However, Hershey wasn‘t angry. He said something in a low voice. Then he smiled. ―It‘s not your fault, son,‖ he said.―I need to watch where I‘m going.‖ He put some chocolate in his mouth. ―Mmm, that‘s good,‖ he said. Everyone laughed. Hershey kept walking with the dripping chocolate.

It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skilful one; the bank must 48 its customer's signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the 49 , adopted by banks, of printing the customer's name on his cheques. If this results in forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.41-45BHAED 46-50CFIGA. distastefulB. telephoningC. individualD. fightE. surroundingF. chemicals G evolution H. botanist I. escape J. survivalWhen you watch TV programmes about wild animals. It is amazing to see how an African animal can 41 a fion's attack. In the wilderness, every one has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of 42 . plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are wildly used for 43 . By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits44 or poisonous to animals, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. British 45 David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree's leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin(单宁) increases in the other leaves. "It's like the damaged leaves 46 the others telling them to fight together against the enemy," he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle tree in the 47 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if an animal eats too many of the trees' leaves, it will die.Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of 48 . A plant-eating animal that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have developed not only 49 defence systems, but also shared them with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.41. I 42. G 43. J 44. A 45. H 46. B 47. E 48. F 49. CPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in ___41____facial expressions –and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow reseacher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterner__42___ their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and ___43___ the mouth.”According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human __44____ of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to _45_____ convey emotion in a cross-cultural situation.The reseachers studied cultural differences in the ___46___ of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western people and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of __47____ faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral(中立的). They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made __48____ more errors than did Weaterners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions.” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, __49____ how cultural factors have differed in these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.GAFDH ICEBA. increasingB. threatenedC. directionD. financialE. alternativeF. poisoningG. publishedH. regularlyI. originallyJ. knowledgeScientists and environmentalists have reached a growing agreement that time is running out for Planet Earth. The polar ice caps are melting. One in eight bird species are extinct. Air, water, and ground pollutants are 41 major population centers…But according to a recently 42 book, there is “a secret plan to save the Earth.” This plan is being carried out by a group of “eco barons.”Who are “eco barons”then? They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) —some of the world’s wealthiest businessmen —who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth. These people, both men and women, are the modern-day heroic counterparts (同等分量的人) to the evil 19th century robber masters who 45 set the world on the path to environmental destruction.Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are among the eco businessmen. These two wise investors, who regularly exchange places at the top of Forbes magazine’s annual list of world billionaires, have spent some of their 46 power on different areas. Gates has long sponsored 47 fuels such as oil from algae (藻类), while in Buffet’s case, it’s wind power and electric cars. Douglas Tompkins, the founder of the North Face and Esprit clothing lines, has also embraced environmentalism. He was always an outdoor adventurer —he would 48 disappear for months-long trips to the forests of South America —so when he burned out in the business world, Tompkins took his fortune, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and began steadily buying acre after acre of 49 virgin forest in Chile. Tompkins and his wife have obtained more than two million acres for conservation in Chile.41. F 42. G43. J 44. C45. I46. D 47.E48. H49.

Then as technology moved on, electric products 41 the way people learn a language. Audio cassettes enabled people to practice listening, video provided a vivid cultural environment of the language, computers made interactivity possible, and the 42 of the Windows 95 operating system opened the door to full multimedia programs that could offer more than what the traditional materials could do.Today technology has moved on 43 . The Internet has served as a communication centre. The general use of email has 44 new opportunities for teachers to assist learning at a distance, which has an impact on 45 learning structures. As you can make more and more progress on your own, the role of the teacher is changing. Basic information and drill can be provided by computer; the teacher is then free to concentrate on the more important 46 : motivation and production of language in speech or writing.The latest development is a direct email link from self-study CD-ROMs to an online teacher. Now you can get 47 one-to-one tuition from any multimedia PC with an internet connection. When you need more help you 48 email the tutor. The tutor will know which course you are following and your results to date so he is able to provide good, relevant advice. All you do is buy the CD-ROM at normal price and then get additional 49 as you feel the need. So the self-study becomes distance learning with all its advantages of flexibility and low cost.41-45 JFBHI 46-49 CAGD杨浦青浦宝山A. breedB. commonC. limitD. spendsE. processF. purchasedG. tendsH. bayI. unnecessaryJ. neglectedWatching a child struggle to breathe during an asthma(哮喘) attack is frightening for any parent.

Trouble is, more than half of parents are trying strategies that simply don’t work and wasting hundreds of dollars in the__42__.According to Dr. Michael Cabana, a pediatrician at the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, who led the study, one of the most__43__ mistakes was to buy a mattress cover to protect against dust mites(尘螨)for a child whose asthma instead was made even worse by plant pollen. Many of those parents then __44__ to do what would have helped a lot more: shut the windows to keep pollen out. Another was using a humidifier for a child who was allergic （过敏）to dust mites; a humidifier__45__ to be a place where dust mites like to __46__. With those allergies, a dehumidifier works better.Worst of all was the number of smokers with asthmatic children who didn’t even t ry to quit or at least__47__ themselves to smoking outdoors rather than just moving to another room or the garage. Many smoking parents__48__ expensive air filters that have what Cabana called “questionable utility.”Part of the problem, Dr. Cabana and his colleagues believe, is that parents are bombarded by television ads that encourage them to buy products such as air and carpet fresheners, ionizers and other remedies that are often expensive but medically __49__.

These shelters will provide food, shower 42 and accommodation. They will be open to receive new arrivals around the clock.To help the homeless through winter safe and sound is the bottom line for a 43 city. The life of a homeless person is not something that can be done away within several days. Almost every year, vagrants somewhere freeze to death, so to make special arrangements for them during winter as Shanghai does is a good way to 44 tragedy.Apart from government resources, 45 resources have been assembled to join in the aid in the city. In bus and railway station, subway lanes, ports and bridge caves where the homeless tend to 46 , inspecting will be more frequent and widespread. For those who refuse to be helped, cold-proof necessities and information on aid 47 will be offered. Communities will offer aid consultation while police stations and urban management teams are also prepared to help Community volunteers, especially the elderly, will go out to the streets on inspection and help.In Shanghai, the most populous city in China, can 48 this level, so can other cities, especially cities in north China, where the winter is much colder than in Shanghai.

You can _43_ your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move form one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief _44_ of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weaknesses?” , don’t say “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weaknesses, and it takes strength to recognize them. Say something _45_ but not hugely important to the specific position, and always add something positive like , “I haven’t had a lot of _46_ to the on-site work ,but I’m look ing forward to being more _47_ in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?”You should customize(定制) your answer to meet the position _48_.Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they would be applied to this job . To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “why, where, when, how” to _49 our strengths. Always follow-up with a thank you note restating your interest in the position .

The increasingly popular "design museums" that are opening today, however, perform quite a different 41 . Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the 42 of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales--It is the 43 of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel 44 , with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel 45 or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work, and how design has 46 the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their 47 .In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to 48 the public's growing interest in the field with new ideas. London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less 49 than those to art museums.41. F 42. C 43. G 44. D 45. H 46. I 47. E 48. B 49.

At the start they only ___41____ with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't___42___ dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from ___43___moving trains, who crash cars of even ___44___ fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called ___45___. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not ___46___ on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and ____47__. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get ___48___ injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a ___49___ for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls, too.41.

We say to ourselves, "I know, I was there; I saw it happen." And that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the 41 of our eyes?Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree with the referee (裁判). "He was out of bounds when he caught the pass," says one fan. Another says, "You're 42 . I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind." The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not 43 because they were there!It's the same story in the courtroom. Trial procedure 44 depends on witnesses giving testimony (证词). But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand 45 were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses 46 the man's height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the wrong hair color in 83 percent of the cases. These witnesses didn't play 47 on them!What can we do to keep error to minimum? First of all, don't let your emotions 48 with your vision. Don't see something because you want to see it. Secondly, try to stay relaxed. If you are 49 , you are likely to see red when the color is blue. And finally, it helps to make notes of what you see. Don't rely on your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other aid to reduce distortion (歪曲).41. I 42. G 43. A 44. D 45. F 46. B 47. J 48. C 49.

It also points to wine, certain coffee and some chemicals as possible cancer-causing 42 . Researchers conducted separate studies of men and women suffering from cancer of the pancreas. Their three-year, five-city study involved six 43 factors to cause pancreatic cancer.For women, the 44 of the study was on the effects of consumption of decaflfeinated(无咖啡因的) coffee and heavy smoking —half a pack a day or more. The third factor in the women's study contributing to the rise of cancer cases 45 a variety of medical and social problems-miscarriages, failed marriages and plastic surgeries. The increased risk among women ranged from 210 percent with exposure to one factor to a rocketing 3400 percent when all three factors were 46 . In men, the study was targeted at the effects of gasoline and dry-cleaning chemicals, consumption of decaffeinated coffee and 47 wine drinking - two or more glasses of wine a day. Traditionally, men's 48 are supposed to be powerful and dominant. Therefore, upper-class men tend to 49 their male advantages through purely male items like alcohol or cigarettes.

Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（12分）Watching news about the environment on TV can make us feel sad. The problems seem so big that it's difficult to imagine how individuals （个人）can do anything about them. Rebecca Hosking, however, thought differently.Rebecca is a wildlife camerawoman and she was filming a documentary （纟己录片）for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her cry 一hundreds of dead birds that had died because they had accidentally （意夕卜地）eaten the plastic thrown into the sea. People throw tons of plastic into the sea each year! Beaches on Pacific islands that should have been some of the most beautiful places in the world were covered with plastic toys, drinks bottles, pens, cigarette lighters 一every plastic thing you can think of.Rebecca decided that she had to do something. Back at home she thought about what she could do to help solve the problem of throwaway plastic. In her hometown of Modbury, she asked local shopkeepers if they could do one thing to help. She asked them to stop using plastic bags in their shops.Plastic bags are used everywhere in Britain ——every supermarket every corner shop. The numbers are amazing. Britain uses nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. And the bags can take hundreds of years to break down because they are chemical rather than natural, so each year the sea and the environment become more and more polluted.To Rebecca*s surprise, the shopkeepers agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag free town in Britain. Instead, shops offered reusable cotton bags or biodegradable （生物可降解的）bags.Other towns followed Modbury's example and towns around Britain and around the world are becoming plastic bag free. It won't solve all of the world's environmental problems but it shows that people are becoming active and starting to think about how the little things in their daily lives can have a big effect. It also shows us that there is something we= can do and that one person can make a big change with a strong enough belief.93.Did Rebecca agree individuals could do nothing about the big environmental problems?No, he didn't.94.Why did the hundreds of birds die in the Pacific Ocean?Because they accidentally ate the plastic thrown into the sea.95.The beaches on Pacific islands are no longer some of the most beautiful places, are they?No, they aren^.96.How many plastic bags do people in Britain use each year?17 billion .97.What does the sentence "The shop is plastic bag free" mean?It means the shop—offers _ plastic bags_no more. ________________________________ .98.What can you learn from Rebecca's story?Individuals can do something about the environment.X.
