Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty．I'd have a lot to drink
before bed，which was unusual for me．One time，I opened a big container of apple juice and kept
refilling my glass．Before I knew it，I'd drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor．I then
had a few blood tests，and the results were certain﹣I had diabetes (糖尿病)，which meant that the
amount of sugar in my blood was very high．That can be dangerous，so I had to learn how to control my
blood﹣sugar level．
My eating habits had to change in a big way ． With diabetes ， I can't eat a lot of sugar or
carbohydrates(碳水化合物)．I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat，and then I get
an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food．Also，I test my
blood﹣sugar level often．I'm always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level．The level can
drop when I exercise，but that doesn't keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court﹣I just keep
some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to．
It's a lot of work﹣and not a lot of fun﹣to keep track of everything，but I've gotten used to my new
habits．I was a little scared at first because I wasn't sure how my life would change．Once I knew what
I needed to do，though，it wasn't a big deal．My life is different now from what it was before，but it has
become completely regular to me．

I grew up in a middleclass household in Australia.In terms of safety and standard of living, a
comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew, and as a result, I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday, and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never
been overseas before, and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia, but something inside of me
knew I needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on $7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain, saving
every penny I earned.Just days before the trip was set to depart, I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia.I vividly recall the
sight of malnourished (营养不良) children begging for money tearing at my heart.I saw what true
poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city, home
to thousands of families, many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days, I played with children who, despite living in hard conditions, were
overflowing with joy and happiness.I met families who, despite having nothing, were some of the
kindest people I'd ever met.For the first time, my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not
defined by money.People here were rich in relationships and community, and shared with each other
the little that they had.
Through the trip, I began to see the value of learning from people of other races, cultures and
religions.I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one, and experienced
firsthand the beauty of human diversity.

D．They were really bad at building relationships.
31．What was the biggest benefit the author got from the trip?
A．She got some work experience. B．She learned to be independent.
C．She made friends with some locals. D．She learned about the outside world.
D
Do you want to live another 100 years or more？Some experts say that scientific advances will
one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human
life span．
"I think we are knocking at the door of immortality（永生），"said Michael Zey，a Montclair State
University business professor and author of two books on the future．"I think by 2075 we will see it and
that's a conservative estimate（保守的估计）．"At the conference in San Francisco，Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in
Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology （纳米技术）make it likely that
humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past." There is a great push so that
people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that
people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years．"
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is
just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases, they say
failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death．
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live." It remains to be seen if you
pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？" said Leonard Poon，
director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre." At present people who could get to that
point are not in good health at all."
32.By saying" we are knocking at the door of immortality"，what does Michael Zey mean?
A．they believe that there is no limit of living
B．they are sure to find the truth about long living
C．they have got some ideas about living forever
D．they are able to make people live past the present life span
33.What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living ?
A．people can live from 120 to 180 years
B．it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C．the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
D．it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
34.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to?
A. a great push B. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years
C. the idea of living beyond the present life span D. the conservative estimate
35.What would be the best title for this text？
A．Living Longer or Not B．Science，Technology and Long Living
C．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living D．No Limit for Human Life

Making the Most of Life Experiences
If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is, you’ll likely receive wildly different responses. The
answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the
course of our lives. 36 .
Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day. Here are
some ways to make your experiences meaningful.
Follow your dreams.
The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams. Passion will die without
actions supporting them. 37 . Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your
goals. Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.
Make lots of mistakes.
38 . Many of my strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed, and those lessons
have stayed with me. Failure is beneficial to us. And time allows me to see the value of even the most
painful situation. 39 .
Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down. These prevent
us from moving forward. So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional
state. If you’re under stress, your body and mind both require time to recover. 40 .
For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, work hard, and fail before we can achieve
success. Maybe we’ll discover along the way that the journey is more important than the destination.
A. Take care of yourself.
B. It’s best to rest, recover, and slowly build back up your strength.
C. Making mistakes is the surest path to grow as a person.
D. Improve your personality.
E. Though we can’t choose the outcome of our actions, we can choose to keep pursuing (追求).
F. Though we try our best to make fewer mistakes, it is impossible to avoid them.
G. Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences.

Eating a diet rich in high-quality protein (蛋白质)may help you maintain a healthy weight by
_56__ (make) you feel full longer, and fueling you with extra energy for exercising.
High-protein 57 (diet) aren’t balanced in terms of the essential nutrients, vitamins, and fiber
your body needs. However, a diet that is too high in animal protein can 58 (actual) lead to weight
gain over time. A study found that those who ate more red and processed meat put on 59 (much)
weight, about one extra pound every four years, while those who ate more nuts over the course of the
study 60 (gain) only half as much weight.
Some people are able to lose weight on high-protein diets in the short-term but this weight loss is
not due to eating more animal protein, 61 simply due to consuming fewer calories. A safer way
62 （lose）weight is to reduce sugar intake and calories, while maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet
63 is rich in plant-based proteins.
For most of us, consuming the right balance of whole foods each day will provide us 64 all the
nutrients we need. There is also no evidence that protein from a powder or bar can improve athletic
65 (perform). any more than protein from food.

词数应为 150 左右。
The Make-up Guy
Dave was a make-up ( 化 妆 ) artist who regularly held makeup artistry classes at the local
community college. He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives, who wanted to fine-tune their
make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class
was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and
wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the
result of his work.
Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were
alone.
Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up? Was he to seek for a
woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter? Why on earth would he
attend such a woman class? Who could it be?
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants
were quite doubtful of the man’s intentions.
Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and
wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not
hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise …
Finally, one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why
he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence. After what seemed a century, he slowly opened his mouth and
here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
Paragraph 1:He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes (糖尿病) and she
was no longer able to apply her make-up. ________________________________________________

Dear David，
How time flies！It's a pity that you're leaving our middle school soon.I'm writing this letter to
express our sincere thanks on behalf of the students of Class 4.
We all remember the first class from you, which helped us get rid of our fear in English studies.At
first you introduced yourself by listing some key words on the blackboard such as “I come from ...” and
“I hope ...” Then you asked us to make a selfintroduction in English.To everyone's surprise, we found
it could be easy and enjoyable to use English.
Though you're leaving soon, we do hope to keep in touch with you.Have a nice trip.
Yours，

续写参考范文 (25 分)
He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes and she was no longer able
to apply her make-up. Fearing being laughed at, she locked herself in her room, abandoning herself to
great grief. She was absolutely beautiful even without make-up. But what upset her was that she simply
felt not comfortable leaving the home without make-up. Sensing her loneliness in a colorless-world, I
was also at a loss as to what to do. Once informed of this class, I determined to learn make-up without
hesitation, hoping to make a difference.
So he decided to take the course to surprise her wife. Without a pause, he shared his story. He
mastered a wide range of practical skills, allowing him to help her take on a new look. Surely, being
enveloped by an atmosphere of love, his beloved wife at present was deeply affected. “I not only want
to learn how to apply her make-up, I want her to wear the most beautiful make-up so her inner beauty
also shines on the outside.” he announced, “It is her smile that touches most my heart, not the
make-up.”
