Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you. Then, consider this: you might be in a state of sub-health (亚健康). Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease. According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week. Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy, depression (压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation (激动不安、焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements vitamins and trace elements (微量元素) — that are important to the body.Nutrition (营养) experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.Choose the best answer according to the passage:56. According to this passage, which of the following is right? A. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should stay home and keep silent. B. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine. C. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries. D. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.57. Middle-aged people may be easy to get sub-health because __. A. they have used up their energy B. they have lost their living hopes C. they have more pressure in life and work D. they begin to get older58. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of sub-health is that you should __. A. work hard B. sleep more C. form good living habits D. take more medicine59. The bold-faced word "alternate" in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to __. A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place C. keep up D. take upBIf you’re a foreigner looking for a place that has everything, there’s only one place to visit, and that’s New York. It’s a whole world in a city.The World of TheaterAll of New York is a stage, and it begins with Broadway. Where else can you find so many shows in one place? Only in New York!The World of MusicSpend an evening with Beethoven at Lincoln Center. Swing to the great jazz of Greenwich Village. Or rock yourself silly at the hottest dance spots found anywhere.The World of ArtFrom Rembrandt to Picasso. From Egyptian tombs to Indian teepees. Whatever kind of art you like, you will find it in New York.The World of Fine DiningWhether it is roast Beijing Duck in Chinatown, Lasagna in Little Italy, or the finest French coq au vin (chicken cooked in wine) found anywhere, there is a world of great taste waiting for you in New York.The World of SightsWhat other city has a Statue of Liberty? A Rockefeller Center? Or a Bronx Zoo? Where else can you take a horse-drawn carriage through the Central Park? Only in New York!60. What do you think Rembrandt is?A. A place in New York. B. An artist. C. A place in the World of Art. D. A musician.61. Which of the following programs can a visitor have only in New York? A. To enjoy the Beijing roast duck. B. To taste the finest French coq au vin. C. To spend an evening with Beethoven. D. To see the Statue of Liberty.62. The purpose of writing this text is to ___________. A. tell the readers where New York lies B. supply the readers with some information about New York C. try to persuade the readers to visit New York D. help the readers get a better understanding of New York63. The text above is most probably taken from____________. A. a guidebook B. a newspaper C. a textbook D. a magazineCA sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物所能分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief (缓解) for nature , according to the scientists.“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.64.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.C. To discuss the development of phone technology.D. To introduce an environmentally-friendly cell phone to readers.65.People throw away their cell phones most probably because A.there is something wrong with themB.no sunflowers can grow out of themC.they are out of fashionD.they are becoming cheaper and cheaper66,It could be learned from the passage that A.developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environmentB.phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phoneC.the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the worldD.the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now67.What might be the best title for this passage?A.Sunflower and Phone. B.Plant Your Phone.C.Protect Our Environment. D.No Worry about Phone.DIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned.Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners.Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.They hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser.When such moments occur,(发生) don’t worry about them, just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech ——“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴)his words twice during the speech.Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer.They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.68.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________.A.be smarter than you B.notice your mistakesC.do better than you D.know what you are talking about69.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________.A.your attention is on the content(内容).B.you don’t fully understand the speechC.you don’t know what the speaker plans to sayD.you find the way of speech-making more important70.It can be inferred(推论,推断) from the passage that ___________.A.giving a speech is like giving a performanceB.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC.the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD.the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be71.What would be the best title of the passage? A.How to Be a Perfect Speaker B.How to Make a Perfect SpeechC.Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech D.Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech72, Which of the following statements is true?A.If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech.B.Speech-making is a kind of performance.C.Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message.D.Martin Luther King is not a good speaker.
第二节:简答题(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)阅读下面短文,根据第73至75小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s(富丽堂皇的房子) guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的,)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had,the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole (唯一的)income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel, “How could you have let this happen?” “The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” she accused.(指责,控告) “The second family had little but ___________________, and you let the cow die.” “Things aren’t always what they seem, ”the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. ” “Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem. ” Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until sometime later.
73.What’s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) 74.Please use one word to take the place of the underlined word. 75. Please fill in the blank in the same paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Within 10 words)
第II卷(共35分)第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分35分)第一节:填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在文后第76至85小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。 注意:每空不超过3个单词。While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing(释放) the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment . Don’t forget, play can be just as important to you over-all well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “ there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.

7.书面表达(One possible version)(25分) Dear Rose, I was glad to receive your letter asking for advice about how to stay slim. Here are some suggestions. First, it is important to have a low-fat diet and stay away from junk food. You'll put on weight easily if you eat junk food. You should also be sure to have breakfast every day, because breakfast is very important. Third, it is also helpful to exercise regularly instead of sitting in front of the TV or computer all day. Exercise can help you burn calories. Lastly, getting eight hours of sleep every day is the simplest way to stay slim. I sincerely hope that you can find pleasure in doing the above and enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Best wishes. Christine
