Is there anything more important than health？I don’t think so. You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill.
If you have a headache，or a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs. After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor’s advice，I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old man came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness，memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat，drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule：“Eat at pleasure，drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again，he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know，doctor，”he said，“it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
4．The writer thinks that ________.
A．health is more important than wealth
B．work is as important as studies
C．medicine is more important than pleasure
D．nothing is more important than money
5．The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A．without examining the patientB．after he has examined the patient
C．if the patient doesn’t take medicineD．unless the patient feels pain
6．The underlined part means“________”.
A．he was feeling better than everB．he wasn’t a healthy man
C．he was feeling worse than before D．he will be well again
7．From the last sentence of the passage，we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A．was a heavy smokerB．didn’t smoke so much
C．didn’t smokeD．began to learn to smoke
C
I once had an unforgettable experience that has influenced and directed the way I think and act now.
When I was about seven years old, my grandfather took me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people,” he said thoughtfully. “Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others’ lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle to be sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy(嫉妒) coming from your circle also spread to other circles. You are responsible for both.”
That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord(不和谐) can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict, doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into
the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
8. The author’s grandfather took him/her to the fish pond to_______.
A. go fishing together B. teach him/her a meaningful truth of life
C. play a fun game with the author D. correct his/her wrong doings
9.What does the author want to say by telling us his unforgettable experience?
A. We cannot control our feelings that disturb others
B. We shouldn’t keep in touch with other people.
C. What we think and do can influence others’ lives.
D. It’s difficult to keep a good relationship with other people.
10. The author would probably agree that we should________.
A. send our anger to other people
B. share our happiness with other people
C. complain about the misfortune in our lives
D. hide our feelings and never express them to others
11.What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To teach the young people how to hold their feelings and thoughts.
B. To indicate the importance of an unforgettable experience.
C. To recall the experience of fishing.
D. To tell people to create beauty and harmony.
D
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing (追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the
storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers. ”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth”.
12. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____.
A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm
13. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____.
A. not to drive in a heavy rain B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm D. to spend more time on it in summer
14. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _____.
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm present is the greatest show on Earth
15. What can we learn from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
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出的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa. 16 We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways ---and with different motives（动机）．
17 A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife．It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy. Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry．
Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals（仪式）. 18 In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck
by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.”Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family． 19
In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical．The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing．The money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life．In Bermuda, the young
couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home．Once they move in, they take good care of the tree , making it grow and blossom．The planting of the tree is a good metaphor（隐喻） for marriage． 20
A．Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple．
B．A truly good marriage is something that grows with care．
C．In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children．
D．And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband．
E．Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own．
F．In many countries, marriage is a practical matter．
G．Different countries have different cultures．

It is commonly 41 (believe) that school is where people go to get education. However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference 42 schooling and education suggested by this is important.
Education is endless, compared with schooling. It can take place anywhere. It includes both the standard learning that takes place in schools and 43 whole universe of learning out of class. Though the experience of schooling can be known in advance, education quite often 44 (produce) surprises. A chance talk with a foreigner may lead a person to 45 (discover) how little he knows of another country. People obtain
education from 46 (baby) on. Education, then, is a very broad 47 unlimited term. It is lifelong experience that starts long before the start of school.
Schooling, on the 48 hand, is a basic experience, whose style changes little from one way to the next.

Dear Peter,
I’m writing to tell you what I will pay a visit to the museum of our city with some friends on Saturday morning. We will gather at the school gate and start out at 7:00 in the morning. Our visit will begin at 8:00 and it will last three hours. Please keep in mind that taking pictures is not allowed in the museum. In addition, during the visit, please keep quiet. I know you are very interested in our local customs and culture. This is surely a good chance for you to know more about them.
I would like to meet you there and please let me know your decision soon.
Yours
Lucy
