18、ight, it is hard to 37 down. But relaxation is 38 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a 39 part of everyday life and there is no way to 40 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 41 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 42 to life. It is only

19、when the stress gets out of control 43 it can lead to poor performance and 44 health.The amount of stress a person can bear 45 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 46 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 47 of

20、 unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 48 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 49 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 50 between life and death. The crises (危机) we meet today are 51 to be so extreme, but however little the st

21、ress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 52 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 53 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 54 links with stress. 55 we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal

25、 half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally(职业上) dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in pri

26、mary school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA(学士学位),you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a masters degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a firstclass university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减率)begins to work.Do you know

27、, for example, that longdistance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors(正教授)? Yes, each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized field such as physics or chemistry, wher

28、e the degree can quickly by turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages orworst of all in philoso

29、phy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in some high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.

30、56According to the writer, the society expects education to turn out people who will _.Araise their paymentBbecome specialized in some wayChave a bright futureDmeet the demands as a source of manpower57If you dont want to be occupationally dead, you _.Ashould look for a job in a primary schoolBmust

31、at least get a high school diplomaChave to change your name for Bernard Shaw or EdisonDshould go on learning and become a doctor or physics or chemistry58The underlined phrase “put on the brakes” means _.Astop learning for a high degreeBtake up a masters degree at onceCgo on studying in a first-clas

32、s university Dfind any interesting job.59Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?ANeither Bernard Shaw or Edison finished high school.BThere are more PhDs than the society demands.CThe higher education level is, the more money you will earn.DIf you are overeducated, you can not e

33、asily get a good job.BAllen: Ive never been a big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland(1999)we passed it by, because we didnt want to spend the time on something we didnt really enjoy. If wed known it would be closed by our next visit. Im sure we would have w

34、atched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasnt until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang (弹跳) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland.But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mist

35、ake. We all have great memories of the Bears, but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact, but its a fact. For whatever reason, the show doesnt pull in the numbers. Isnt it right to use the Country Bear space

36、to bring in a more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like? Otherwise arent we just telling kids today that they “have to ” make great memories of the Bears, when its obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did?R

37、oger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child, and still enjoyed it as a teenager, and now young adult. It is true that there arent a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does requ

38、ire a lot of walking, and it is nice to have a few attractions that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show . I understand that DL has to develop, but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away, and this i

39、s one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there wont be any attractions that I can say I went to as a child at the rate they are going.Now the Bears are leaving. What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best, because of attractions like the Country Bears.

40、 If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest, well, then it might as well be just another theme park.60What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears?AThe Country Bear Playhouse will be closed.BThere will be a new attraction for our guests at Di

41、sneyland.CThe number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling. DThe Bears will retire because of old age and cant give shows any more.61Allen spoke mainly to get his point across that.Athe Bears will be missed Bwe should tell kids today that they “have to ” make great memories of the Bea

42、rsCthe longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attractionDpeople never care about what they have until all is lost62Which is the best choice to complete Rogers idea: “The Country Bears have been a part of Disneyland for nearly 30 years, _.”Aand I feel it is time to give our bears a good r

43、est Bbut anyway, the attraction has lost interest Cbut I know that Disneyland will always be changing, and I accept thatDand I am sad that the Bears will be leaving63Which of the following is not in the same group as the other three?Aan attractionBa theme park Cthe BearsDthe latest magic64Where can

44、this passage be found?AIn a Web discussion zone.BIn a suggestion book.CIn a report on the popularity of the Country Bears.DIn high school students compositions.CRead the following two advertisements and answer the questions below:65What is the best time for drivers to get gas filled?AMonday.BTuesday

45、.CWednesday.DThursday.66We can get all kinds of services from Paiges Basic except _.Agiving advice for free.Bchanging pets bad behavior.Cgoing to hosts home for training. Dcuring Pets disease.67Who will be interested in the second ad?Adog trainers Bpet ownersCzoo keepersDanimal protectors68Of these

46、two advertisements, which one doesnt provide the exact address?AThe first one.BThe second one.CNeither one.DWe have no idea.DIT is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond (池塘). Plutos recent departure (离开) from the classical planet family clearly proves that size really matters.Astronomer

47、s voted on August 24 to create the first scientific definition of the word “planet”, and Pluto obviously didnt make the cut. It turned out to be only a “dwarf planet (矮行星) ”.After weeks of heated debate, over 2,500 astronomers from 75 countries voted on the definition of a “planet” at a conference o

48、f the International Astronomical Union (IAU). According to the definition, a planet must have a clear neighborhood around its orbit (轨道). Pluto has widely been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. Unfortunately; it has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptunes. It is all because, comp

49、ared with Neptune, Pluto is very small. It is attracted by Neptunes gravity when the two planets get closer.According to IAU, a “dwarf planet” should have an orbit around the Sun. It will not have a clear neighborhood around its orbit, and must not be a satellite. The new classification means that t

50、he science textbooks will have to be updated. The solar system (太阳系) is now made up of the eight “classical planet,” together with a number of dwarf planets. The classical planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The debate over Plutos status started in 1992. Af

51、ter an advanced telescope was sent into space, astronomers started to find a belt of objects, which lies beyond Neptune. The belt contains nearly 1,000 objects, including Pluto. As they continued the exploration, scientists recently discovered at least 41 dwarf planets at the edges of the solar syst

52、em. There are at least two objects of a similar size to Pluto.It seems that even if the IAU had kept Plutos status as a planet, the classical theory of nine planets in the solar system would have had to be changed, but the other way around. More dwarf planets of a similar size to Pluto would join th

53、e family of planets. Scientists will probably find many more dwarf planets. 69According to the passage, Pluto is _.Aa planet which has a clear neighborhood around its orbitBa satellite of Neptune which was discovered in 1930Cis the smallest planet in the solar systemDa planet which has an orbit arou

54、nd the sun70The sentence “IT is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond” quoted in the beginning of the passage is used to _. Atell us small fish can hardly survive in the big pondBtell us the size of an object really mattersCmean that small planet can hardly exist in the solar systemDexp

55、lain the disappearance of Pluto in the solar system71From the last paragraph we can infer that if IAU kept Plutos status as a planet, the number of planets in the solar system would be _.Aeight BnineCless than nineDmore than nine72Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?AAccording to definition of a “planet”, if Pluto were bigger it would not have left the classic planet family.BIts quite possible for dwarfs to lose if they compete with big men.CPluto h
