dance lessons ddecorate the sitting roombthirty years ago i worked in a company. my job was to sell the cars. i was young and strong and i had been to most parts of the world and i spent one fifth of my time in the trains or planes. i liked such a life and sometimes i called myself “traveler”.but one day i got into trouble. it was a cold morning. it blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. i was still in bed though it was nine. i finished a long journey the day before and decided to have a good rest. suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to new york to take part in an important meeting. i had to get up and after a quick breakfast i hurried to the airport. the taxi went slowly and i missed the first flight. i had to take the next one. it meant i would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. but five hours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb(炸弹) in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. and another five hours passed and most passengers lost their patience before we were allowed to get on the plane. at the entrance each passenger and their baggage(行李) had to be examined. a young man who seemed a soldier shouted at the policemen at the entrance, “if i had a gun in my baggage, i would shoot you two hours ago!”44what was the writers job? a. to sell the cars. b. he was a policeman. c. to drive a taxi. d. he was a soldier.45who told the writer to fly to new york?athe young man.bthe manager.ca soldier.da passenger.46why didnt the writer get up until the phone rang?abecause he felt very cold outside bbecause he wanted to have a rest that daycbecause he was waiting for his mothers call dbecause he was going to have a meeting the next day47how did the young man feel when saying “if i had a gun in my baggage, i would shoot you two hours ago!”?asurprisedbangry.cexciteddsadcmost people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study,work and life.can memory be improved?luckily,hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.a healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp.first of all,it is necessary to have a healthy diet.eating more food rich in b vitamins and vitamin e,such as vegetables and lean meat,helps you have a better memory.doing exercise can keep your brain alive,too.proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain.running,riding a bike,swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful.besides,getting enough sleep is important.only when your brain gets a good rest,can it work well.the healthier your lifestyle is,the better your memory will become,but do not expect a sudden change-it takes a long time to have a good effect.memory skills help you remember things better.the followings are the most widely used.chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones.for example,to memorize a long mobilephone number 2127983630,you can divide it into three groups:first 212,then 798,and lastly3630.this method is much more effective; organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind.for example, trees,grass and flowers are plants;tigers,pandas,horses and cows are animals; imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.however,memory skills will hardly work if you dont understand the information.whats more,only a regular(有规律的) review can make the memory last long.that is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days,and then use it as regularly as possible.human brains are like muscles(肌肉) that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger.if you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills,you can certainly improve your memory.48. how many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage? a.two. b.three. c.four. d.five.49. which of the following examples is the use of the skill “organization”?a.remembering the meaning of the word “green”by connecting it with trees.b.remembering a long and difficult passage by translating it intochinese.c.remembering the word “yellow”by putting it into the group of “color”.d.remembering the word “map” by connecting it with a picture of a map.50. according to the passage,why should we review what weve learnt?a. to use it better every day.b.to understand it in a better way.c.to improve memory skills.d.to remember it for a longer time.51. what does the writer want to tell us according to the passage?a. memory can be improved in some ways.b.memory skills are not difficult to learn.c. it is important to have a healthy lifestyle.d.not everyone has a good memory.d“life is speeding up. everyone is getting unwell.”this may sound like something someone would say today. but in fact, an unknown person who lived in rome in ad 53 wrote it.we all love new inventions. they are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.but have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?picture this: youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. your mobile phone rings, a qq message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. now you have to stay up all night to get it done. how calm and happy do you feel?inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity(电) often seem to be happier? perhaps because they lead simple lives.our family in the uk went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. the grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons benjamin, 10 and thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. they had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.the grandmother, lyn, said, “it was hard physically, but not mentally.” she believed life was less materialistic(物质的). “the more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” she said. the boys said they fought less. probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. also lyn changed from being a “fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!dont be available all the time. turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. dont check your emails every day.dont reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. it may be fun at first, but it soon gets boring.make sure you spend some time talking to your family. set aside one evening a week when you dont turn on the television. play cards and chat instead.get a lowtechnology hobby. every day, do something in the old way, such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone.dont worry too much about life laugh more.52. why does the writer use the quote(引文)at the beginning of the passage?a. to lead in the topic.b. totell us a famous saying.c. to tell us what life was like long time ago.d. to point out that you experience some big problems.53. why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house?a. because they loved to live simple lives.b. because they were troubled by modern inventions.c. because living a different time would be a lot of fun for them.d. because they want to know how people lived without modern inventions.54. what does the underlined word “available”probably mean?a. depended on by others. b. trusted by others.c. learned from by others. d. found by others.55. what is the passage mainly about?a. problems with technology.b. the importance of technology.c.changes happening to technology.d. improvements of our life with technology.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的六个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共10分，每小题2分）anger is a kind of feeling. 56. when your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get angry. 57. for example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes you hide your anger. 58.the problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.in fact, its not good to hide your anger, and its normal for you to get angry sometimes. as soon as you find your problems, you may cry to relax.when you get angry, you can talk about it with adults, such as parents, teachers, etc. 59. here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: count from 1 to 100;give someone a hug, go for a bike ride, think about good things, etc.remember that when you are angry, how you act can make everything better or worse.60 .a. dont let your anger control you.b. many things can make you angry.c. dont laugh at others when they get angry.d. for example, you may hide it in your heart.e. usually, your body will tell you when you are angry.f. after doing this, youll find those bad feelings can start to go away. 八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）chris is not a traditional explorer（探险者） he usually works in an office for a large organization. yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.chris works for msf, an organization also known as doctors without borders (无国界医生). msf sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. chris is a doctor from france who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.at the moment, there are over 27,000 trained doctors and nurses taking part in msf projects and tasks. the organization received the nobel peace prize in 1999. all kinds of doctors can volunteer for msf. they need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. doctors with experience in tropical（热带的）diseases are especially useful because most of msfs work is in africa. when msf accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. when doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.but why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join msf? according to chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your work. besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to get on well with the people you meet. above
