If you have never read Norman Cousin’s description of his experience of self-healing as described in Anatomy of an Illness, I encourage you to do so. When diagnosed( 诊 断 ) with an incurable illness, he brought a movie projector ( 放 映 机 ) into his hospital room and watched reel after reel of old classic comedy movies. He found he could relieve his otherwise significant pain on a consistent basis through laughter. That practice, along with some other treatments, resulted in his healing. He left his prestigious （ 受 尊 敬 的 ） journalistic career and taught in a major medical school about the power of the mind and emotions in healing the body of disease. Next to love, laughter has been described as the second-most powerful emotion we can express. It has been said that laughter is like internal jogging—it stimulates the respiratory system （ 呼 吸 系 统 ） , oxygenates the body, relaxes tense muscles, and releases pleasure-producing chemicals in the brain. You cannot laugh and be mad, laugh and be tense, laugh and be stressed. Laughter is low-calorie, caffeine-free, and has no salt, preservatives, or additives. It’s 100 percent natural. Laughter is truly God’s gift to humankind. Laughter is contagious—once it starts, little can be done to stop it. Laughter never felt bad, committed a crime, started a war or broke up a relationship. Laughter is shared by the giver and the receiver. Laughter costs nothing and it’s non-taxable. Laughter is a trend-setter. If we can find ways to laugh the first thing in the morning, it may in fact set the trend for the rest of the day. Let me close by telling you the most important use of laughter I have ever discovered: The ability to laugh at ourselves. I stopped taking myself too seriously years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Don’t get me wrong—I’m still serious about what I do. When you’re the first person to laugh at yourself, you leave little room for others to laugh at you. 41. Why did Norman Cousin bring a movie projector into his hospital room? A. Because he wanted to watch a film. B. Because the hospital asked him to do so. C. Because he wanted to show it to the others in the hospital. D. Because he wanted to reduce stress by watching the film. 42. Laughter can’t __________. A. cure a serious disease. B. make a person feel happy. C. leave someone relaxed. D. stimulate the respiratory system. 43. Which of the following is the advantage of laughter? A.It’s taxable. B. It costs a little. C.It may stop a war. D. It can relax tense muscles. 44. What does the word healing in the first paragraph mean? A. 阻止 B. 治愈 C. 缓解 D. 传染 45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. We should have the ability to laugh at ourselves. B. I’m serious about what I do. C. I stopped taking myself too seriously years ago. D. There’s little room for others to laugh at ourselves if we always laugh at ourselves. B The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it proves down upon you. Air pressure is a wonderful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water push down your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches (火柴). What you need A hard-boiled egg without the shell A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg A piece of paper A match Method 1） Check that the paper will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle. 2） Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle. 3） Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle. 4） Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle. Result Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches. Why it happened As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen （air） in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! That proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it. 46. The purpose of the first paragraph is ________. A. to tell us something about the air pressure and pave the way for the description of the following experiment.. B. to tell us that when we swim underwater, we can feel water push down our body. C. to tell us that our body is so used to air pressure that we do not notice it. D. to tell us that the air pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. 47. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment? A. The bottle could break. B. You need to light the paper with a match. C. the egg needs to be shelled. D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle. 48. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can___. A. equalize the air pressure inside and outside B. make a seal in the neck of the bottle C. finish up the oxygen inside the bottle D. produce more oxygen inside the bottle 49. How did the egg get into the bottle？ A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in. B. It became salt without the shell. C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough. D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle. 50. The experiment is carried out to prove ______. A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater. B. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere. C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force. D. the air pressure is not equalized around us. C There are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry around—library cards, savings cards for different banks, credit cards, just to name a few... So why not have one to replace them all? Scott Barnhill, an 1l-year-old fifth-grade student in the US, has come up with an idea for a "Security One Card". Sound smart? The US Patent(专利) Office thought so, and it approved a patent for his idea in April. Here's an example of how Barnhill's idea would work. Let's say you have the three cards mentioned above. Instead of carrying them all, you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips(磁条) added to it. The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card, even a blank one. Companies could add their information to one of the strips. For example, you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard. Barnhill has a lot of hobbies, including designing websites. He got the idea at the age of 9 when he saw his father using a keycard to enter their hotel room. He thought, "The hotels are wasting money with the key cards." So, instead of using a hotel-issued key card, guests could use their credit cards--if the hotel added a special magnetic strip. At check-out, the strip would simply be removed. Now that he has his patent, his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies. "I'm going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate. I hope they'll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card, or every time the idea is used, " Barnhill said. "I'll write the letters and see what they say. If they say no, I'll ask someone else, another credit card company." He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties(专利使用费)if the idea takes off rather than sell his patent. "The ATM person who invented that sold it totally, and if he'd chosen royalties he'd get like 2 cents for every transaction (交易) and he'd be a billionaire now," Scott said. 51.The advantage of “Security One Card” is that it ___________. A. could remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastics cards B. would be very safe C. could save your money D. could have a lot of magnetic strips on it 52. The immediate cause of Scott's invention was that _________. A. he found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cards B. he realized it's big waste to make so many plastic cards instead of only one. C. he found even a hotel issued its own cards—keycards. D. he realized it would be a good chance to make big money. 53. To use a "Security One Card", ___________. A. one has to add additional magnetic strips to it oneself B. one has to pay Scott Barnhill each time a magnetic strip is added C. all the companies need to add their information to a magnetic strip by themselves D. one has to get the permission of the credit card company first. 54. The underlined phrase "takes off" in the last but one paragraph probably means ___________. A. makes money B. wins a lot of support C. is worth a lot D. is practical 55. From the story, we can see Scott is ___________. A. more magic than smart B. clever but lazy C. creative, determined and wise D. far-sighted 第Ⅱ卷 考生注意事项： 请用 0. 5 毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 第四部分写作（共两节，满分 25 分） 第一节任务型读写（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只 填一个单词。 Mark Twain once said, “There are several kinds of stories, but only one difficult kind--- the humorous”.It isn’t easy to tell a funny story. In fact, sometimes it’s nearly impossible to get people to laugh. But with a little imagination and a lot of practice, you can do it. First, find a story you like. Whether you’re making it up, or retelling one you’ve heard or read, it’s got to be one you enjoy. If you don’t appreciate the humor in it, your audience won’t find it funny. Make sure the audience can understand your story in other ways, too. If its characters or themes are boring, they won’t care, and won’t find it funny. As you tell the story, don’t give away that something funny is coming. The more innocent your expression and tone are, the funnier it will be when you reach the funny point; it’ll be as if you’d said something funny, but didn’t know it until the audience started laughing. Take your time telling the story. Let the audience enjoy its details. Be careful about rhythm and pacing, and use pauses for dramatic effect, and to keep the audience guessing. Use your voice. Not only do you need to make sure everyone hears it, you also need to vary your intonation. Be excited in places, then calm down a bit, and pause for a moment before you hit the punch line. Above all, practice! What you think is funny isn’t always funny to someone else. Practice in front of your family and friends, in fact any small audience, to get a feel for what you can do to make the story better. You’ll know what works and what doesn’t by the audience’s reaction. Title: How to Tell a Funny Story Introduction It is difficult to tell a funny story, but if you just _56__ it and do a lot of practice, your audience will __57__ out laughing. __58___ Find a funny story In__59__way you get the story, it must be the one you think humourous.

Pay attention to your voice. Change the way your voice sounds as the story progress.

I’m writing to tell you about my experience of an English speech contest, in which I had participated for the first time. When I turned up ,I was so nervous that I had great difficulty coming up with the words. I failed to concentrate and was about to back out. However, I was greatly encouraged by my teacher’s smiling face, as well as the audience’s warm applauses. First, I collected my thought and then I took a deep breath in order to stay calm. Although I was not the winner, I was awarded a special prize of courage, which I thought was too good to be true at that moment. It was really worth celebrating, wasn’t it? Hope everything goes well with you! Looking forward to hearing from you! Yours, Han Mei
