traveling very much. To make our life colorful and relax ourselves, in July, my friend and I are

taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of

hotels.

We have to plan very carefully in advance. First, the car we are going to drive is very small,

We will take some medicine with us to prevent insects (昆虫) from hurting us, and also food for

picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we have to decide on

The date we are leaving is July 2, from which day we will have two months off. We want

to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb in the mountains, visit

famous caves, and swim in cool mountain rivers. We want to visit many cities and talk to many

people, which I am sure can enrich our experience greatly. We also want to find a hotel room if

it rains at night. We expect to have an exciting trip.

There is an English saying that “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the

effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people

health.

Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny

films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found

that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the

heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles

in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the

body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different

radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group

which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it

helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.

As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics,

condition by encouraging them to laugh. They

in which they help to improve their patients’　

have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is

enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

66．According to the passage, the following statements are true except .

A．Laughter is good for health

B．Laughter can make you become old quickly

C．Laughter helps to reduce pain.

D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.

”．

67．The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “　A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces

68．Some doctors hold laughter clinics because .

A．they want to earn more money.

B．they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.

C．they want to improve their patients’ condition.

D．they want their patients to practice how to laugh

69．According to the author, we should .

A．laugh as much as possible B．watch more funny films

C．smile all the time D．spend more time in laughter clinics 70．The best title for this passage may be .

A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health

B．Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition

C．Laughter can reduce the effects of pain

D．Laughter is the best medicine.

Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is,

they believe that children learn more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in

our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this idea a fact or myth(悬念)？

Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested; that is, the ability to learn increased as the age increased, from childhood to adulthood.

There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical(逻辑的) thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline (self-control) than children.

All in all, it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a fact, but a myth.

71. The main idea of the passage is that .

A. teenagers are more difficult to teach

B. Danish teenagers can learn Swedish faster than younger children

C. adults are more logical than children

D. the ability to learn languages increases with age

idea of learning languages is true, people may lose ability to learn 72. If most people’s

languages well .

A. at an early age

B. when they reach their twenties

C. at an old age

D. after they become young men

73. According to the passage, teenagers can learn a foreign language __________ than younger children.

A. harder

B. more efficiently

C. more slowly

D. more carefully

74. The reason why adults understand meanings more easily than children is that .

A. adults have more self-discipline

B. adults like to play more than children

C. adults have more knowledge than children

D. adults accept new things more easily than children

75. The explanation fo r older student’s better achievement not mentioned in the above passage is that _________. .

A. adults know more about the world.

B. adults can use logical thinking

C. adults have more self-discipline.

D. adults can read better.

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?

〔1〕Be positive about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.

〔2〕Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

〔3〕Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you

go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.

〔4〕__________________________. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all

the time.

〔5〕Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don't let small problems seem very big and important.

〔6〕Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don't be too embarrassed to turn to others. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

〔7〕Plan your time. Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!

书面表达：

Dear Xiao Wang,

I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.

It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.

I hope my advice will be helpful to you and i’m looking forward to your next letter.

Yours,

Li Hua
