It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind alert and active, as is maintaining a long-term interest in something that attracts you. This will also make your more of an interesting person than a person who is addicted to MySpace, watching TV, or doing other time wasting and unhealthy tasks. Think of a hobby that might interest you. It might be an interest that you always wished you had time to explore, but never had the time or money required to pursue your interest.Collect things for a fashion magazine. Look at the walls in your post office, and think about collecting stamps and what you might need to do to start and maintain a stamp collection. Think of other items you might like to collect, for example, coins, dolls or chocolate wrappers. ______________. Have you ever gone to a museum, looked at the paintings on the walls, and wondered if you could do the same thing? How about trying painting for yourself ---- in oils or watercolors? Or maybe try drawing with charcoal or colored pencils. Enjoy sport as a hobby. Watch soccer, basketball, golf, athletics or tennis tournaments on television or at your local sports ground. Do you feel that a sport is something that you would love to learn? Think about what it would cost, and the time it would take to learn and play. Do you have the funds available for this type of hobby? Would you have the patience it would take to really learn to play or train for any of these sports? Would you rather play a team sport or an individual sport? Maybe there are friends or family members who already have equipment and uniforms you can have, as well as tips for how to begin your chosen sport. Ask them about their experiences and listen to their suggestions.56. It is implied in the first paragraph that _________. A. having a hobby will waste a lot of time.

Which of the following is most suitable for the blank?A. Make art in your own community. B. Learn art in a museum.C. Discover art for a hobby. D. Copy art from other painters. 58. The questions in the 5th paragraph are used to _________.A. present some advice for you to consider. B. show the curiosity of the writer about sports.C. express the doubt of the writer about sports. D. provide some choices on sports activity.59.

The property (房产) remained in the ownership of Shakespeare’s family until 1806.The House has welcomed visitors traveling from all over the world for over 250 years.◆Enter through the Visitors’ Centre and see the highly-praised exhibition Shakespeare’s World, a lively and full introduction to the life and work of Shakespeare.◆Stand in the rooms where Shakespeare grew up. ◆Discover examples of furniture and needlework from Shakespeare’s period.◆Enjoy the traditional English garden, planted with trees and flowers mentioned in the poet’s works.◆The Birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map; nearest is Windsor Street (3 minutes’ walk).◆The House may present difficulties, but the Visitors’ Centre, its exhibition hall, and the garden are accessible (可进入的) to wheelchair users. ◆The Shakespeare Coffee House(opposite the Birthplace). 60.

C Do you still remember the interesting question: why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on US roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat exist in the US today. The main reason? Road kill. “Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around.You might see an animal overpass!64.The writer uses the example of "ocelots" to show that __________.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents65. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is __________ .A. an underground path for cars B. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a river D. a pass for animals to cross the road66.When the writer says that animals seem "to be catching on", he means _______.A. animals begin to realize the danger on the road B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesC. animals are crossing the road in groups D. animals are increasing in number67.The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because .A. wild animals may attack cars B. wild animals may jam the roadC. they may see wild animals in the park D. they may see wild animals on ecopassagesDHow would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently, scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators.“The more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg, a graduate student at Indiana State University,Terre Haute. “The unique aspect is not that they do it, but that they control it. When they sleep at the edge of a group, they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes, which were arranged in a row. Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.Also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.68. It was discovered that .A. most people would like to be half asleep B. ducks can sleep half awakeC. dolphins sleep on their way D. ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 69. The under lined word “predator” is most likely to mean .A. an animal that hunts, kills and eats other animalsB. a human being who looks after and feeds ducksC. a scientist who does research work on animalsD. an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 70. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because .A. they are looking for food B. they want to enjoy the sceneryC. they are watching out for danger D. they are unique in their sleeping habit 71. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.B. Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C. Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.D. A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment. EMouth bacteria grow fast in airless conditions. Oxygen rich saliva(唾液) keeps their numbers down. When we sleep, for example, the saliva stream slows, and sulfur(硫) producing bacteria gains the upper hand, producing classic “morning breath”. Alcohol drinking, too much talking, breathing through the mouth during exercise, anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath. So can stress, though it’s not understood why. Some people’s breath turns sour every time they go on a job interview. Saliva flow gradually slows with age, which explains why the elderly have more bad breath trouble than younger people do. Babies, however, who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath. For most of us, the simple, dry mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured. Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria. Breakfast often stops morning breath. Those with constant dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum, hard candy, or a bottle of water or juice around. Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.Surprisingly, one thing that rarely works is mouthwash. The liquid can mask bad breath smell with its own smell, but the effect lasts no more than an hour. Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath. The trouble is, they don’t necessarily reach all offending germs. Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layers of mucus (粘液). If the mouthwash contains alcohol—as most do—it can worsen the problem by drying out the mouth.72. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the causes of bad breath?A. Tooth trouble. B. Sulfur rich food. C. Too much exercise. D. Mental pressure.73. According to the passage, alcohol has something to do with bad breath mainly because ____.A. it keeps offending bacteria from reproducing B. its smell adds to bad breathC. it kills some helpful bacteria D. it affects the normal flow of saliva74. Mouthwashes are not an effective cure for bad breath mainly because ________.A. they can’t mask the bad odor long enoughB. they can’t get to all the offending bacteriaC. their strong smell mixes with bad breath and makes it worseD. they can’t cover the thick layers of mucus75. We can infer from this passage that ________.A. offensive breath can’t easily be cured B. elderly people are less offended by bad breathC. heavy drinkers are less affected by bad breath D. offensive breath is less affected by alcohol
第Ⅱ卷（两部分 共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Mountaineers can be a pretty tough crowd—and among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status. In 1985, Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America. Shortly after he reached the peak, Simpson fell through an overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg. At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death, but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and stone until he reached base camp eight kilometers away. He chose immediate goals, such as reaching a nearby rock, and then gave himself a time limit to get there. Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals. Break your main task into smaller goals. This is often the key to a successful plan to achieve challenging objectives that seem to be “mission impossible”.Language learning, similar to mountain climbing to some extent, is a daunting task facing most language learners. However, learning from the above story, we can apply Simpson’s method to language study. My top tips for designing a study plan are as follows: 1. Understand what kind of learner you are.Some people are “visual learners” and remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind; others are “auditory” and are happy to learn by listening; “kinesthetic” learners tend to learn by doing things and experience.2. Realize your own competence.What are your strengths and weaknesses? Which skill or skills are you going to improve most? Allocate your time to each skill appropriately. It is better to do a little every day than try to “cram” lots in a short space of time.3. Write down your plan on a calendar.Decide which skill and what area you are going to practice each day. More importantly, your plan should be specific and practical. Once you have a clear goal in your mind, write it down on your calendar. Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule. Do not delay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task.Studying is like climbing a mountain and you should take one step at a time. At first sight, a mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak. However, when you set out to climb it step by step you will find that it is not so difficult as you think. Similarly, it is also true in language learning. You can improve your language skills in each aspect step by step. Don’t be frightened by the seemingly hard task. Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream.

Some believe it can help students relieve their stress and provide them with a stage to show themselves while others have totally contrary opinion. They think managing a blog requires much time and energy, which may affect their study.Personally, I do approve of students writing blogs. Nowadays, the Internet is playing a vital role in our life whose influence can’t be ignored. As high school students in the information age, it’s essential to make the most of this communication tool for better study and life. If we can take advantage of blogging and meanwhile avoid its negative effects, we can surely benefit a lot from it.
