KEEP FRESH FLOWERS AROUND THE HOUSEIt’s a small thing, but a house with fresh blooms just has a way of livening up the space—and your mood. Plus, it doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether it’s one or two stems, a bunch of rosemary or a small bouquet of carnations, a little goes a long way.2. GO GROCERY SHOPPING WEEKLYAn empty stomach is the biggest bad-mood catalyst. But if your kitchen is filled with healthy, yummy snacks, you can easily avoid a low-blood-sugar impulse buy that makes you feel yucky. The best way to stay stocked? Pick a day of the week that you always go and build it into your schedule.3. SET ASIDE AN HOUR A DAY JUST FOR YOUWhen you have no time to yourself, you can feel like you’re trapped between other people’s needs. This one can be tough to do when people depend on you, but make time to anchor yourself in your own thoughts. We love waking up early to make coffee and read the paper. It’s amazing how much more grounded you’ll feel.4. GO RADIO SILENTIt may seem shocking, but there was a time when you didn’t have a cell phone, or a computer, or a cell phone that was a computer and everything was fine. Disconnecting from the invisible world that’s constantly pulling you in for an hour or two a day will help you feel more present, and help you focus on what’s truly important.11. According to the passage, if you are busy dealing with someone you will feel ______.A. excitedB. satisfiedC. not freeD. not confident12. Jack is so crazy about video games that he hardly has time for healthy diet. Which tips will you remind him to follow?A 1 and 3.B. 2 and 4.C. 3 and 4.D. 2 and 3.13.

Cui had found an illustration captioned as “bee” to actually be hoverfly in the picture.An editor of the publisher on Friday confirmed the mistake they made after consulting a biology teacher and said it will correct the mistake by replacing the wrong picture in a reprinted version after it gets approval (批准) from the Ministry of Education.The editor also thanked the 12-year-old boy for reporting the mistake, and praised him for being “really professional”.When asked how he discovered the mistake Cui said, “It’s simple. Bees have two pairs of wings while hoverflies have only one pair of functional wings and bees are plump with their round belly versus the hoverfly’s slim figure. What’s more, bees have distinct tentacles while those of hoverflies are obscure.”As a young man who took an interest in biology, Cui had raised 10 types of ants in his primary school days in order to observe (观察) the insects’ habits and their division of labor, according to Cui’s mother. The family stores more than 300 titles of books related to natural science and Cui has a bookshelf of his own.Many net users expressed their appreciation of Cui’s devotion to science and commented that it’s only with passion (爱好) that one can reach higher achievement.14. According to what Cui said, how many differences are there between hoverflies and bees?A. 3B. 4C. 2D. 515. Which of the following is similar to the underlined word “consulting” in Para 3 in meaning?A. show offB. pay a visit toC. pick...upD. ask...for help16. What’s the main idea of the 2nd paragraph from bottom?A. It tells what Cui is interested in.B. It explains why Cui could discover the mistake.C. It describes how many books Cui has read.D. It shows how gifted Cui is.17. Cui could correct the mistake mainly because of .A. his passion for natural scienceB. the previous (先前的) biology lessonsC. the help from his parentsD. his experience of raising antsCWell, it wasn’t long before I wished I had stayed on land! After only a few hours at sea, rain fell and the wind howled. The waves tossed the ship around like a toy.“Are you all right, Robinson?” Tom had to shout to be heard in the terrible wind. “No. I think I’m going to be sick,” I cried. I had never had sea-sickness before, and I was miserable. “It’s a punishment from God. I never should have disobeyed father,” I thought as I felt sicker and sicker.The weather got worse. The wind blew and thunder and lightning struck the water. I felt sure we were all going to die. “Please, God,” I prayed. “If you save me, I will go home to York, and work hard at business with my father. I’ll never step onto a ship again!”Fortunately, the storm soon ended. Evening came, and the stars shone brightly in a clear sky. The wind stopped and the water became calm. I slept deeply. The next morning, it was a beautiful day. The water was a sparkling blue and the sun shone.As we sailed into the south, I forgot all about my fear of the storm.I stood on the ship and watched the English coast pass us by, and I felt all the world was mine. I could go anywhere and do anything!Tom and I became friends with the rest of the men and one of them offered us some rum. It wasn’t long before we wanted another drink, then another. Soon we were all happily drunk and singing sea songs.A few days later we were near the English city of Yarmouth. Looking at the clouds in the sky, we saw that we were heading into another storm, but I wasn’t afraid. But this storm made the storm I saw on my first day at sea look like a soft gentle rain.18. According to first three paragraphs, which saying can best express Robinson’s situation?A The good seaman is known in bad weather.B. After a storm comes a calm.C. Good advice is beyond price.D. He who doesn’t listen to the old suffers in front of him.19. Why did Robinson think the storm was a “punishment from God”?A. Because he felt quiet sick.B. Because he didn’t listen to his father.C. Because the storm meant God’s anger.D. Because he failed in business.20. The underlined sentence “But this storm made the storm I saw on my first day at sea look like a soft gentle rain” implies (暗示)________.A. Robinson was brave enough to face another stormB. Robinson was ready to take on the following challengesC. the first storm wasn’t terrible at allD. the next storm was much more terrible than the last one21. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. First experience at seaB. Storms at seaC. Great fun at seaD. Sea-sicknessDChildren should drink full-fat milk until the age of at least six, research suggests—as they are likely to grow up slimmer.In recent years, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has recommended that toddlers (学步的儿童) switch to semi-skimmed milk from the age of two, as part of efforts to prevent obesity (肥胖). But research on more than 2,700 children found those given full-fat versions ended up with a significantly low body mass index (体重指数) than those given semi-skimmed varieties. Those taking part in the Canadian study were also found to have higher levels of vitamin D, which protects the bones and immune system.But in 2009, the FSA warned that children were now consuming so much fat that it was clogging their arteries (堵塞动脉). Parents are now advised to switch their children to semi-skimmed milk for the age of two.The new research suggests such efforts could be counterproductive (产生相反效果). Children who drink full-fat milk were likely to end up less hungry, researchers suggested, making them less likely to snack on high calorie foods.The Canadian research, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that those children who drank whole milk had a Body Mass Index score that was 0.72 units lower than those who drink one or 2% semi-skimmed milk. Lead researcher, DR, Jonathan said the difference amounted to (相当于) the difference between having a healthy weight and being overweight.Children who drank one cup of whole milk each day that comparable (类似的) vitamin D levels to those drinking nearly three times as much skimmed-milk, the study found. This could be because vitamin D is fat soluble, meaning it dissolves (溶解) in fat rather than water.Prof Maguire said: “Children who drink low fat milk don’t have less body fat And they also don’t benefit from the higher vitamin D levels in whole milk. It is a double negative with low fat milk”.22. What did the FSA suggest?A. Full-fat milk helps children to grow up slimmer.B. It’s better for children to drink semi-skimmed milk before 2.C Semi-skimmed milk can partly prevent children being fat.D. Children that drink full-fat milk get higher vitamin D levels.23. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5? It’s about .A. what the new research foundB. the reason why full-fat milk makes children slimmerC. how full-fat milk make children less hungryD. the importance of switching to semi-skimmed milk24. According to the passage, what can’t people benefit from vitamin D?A. Improving moods.B. Being slim.C. Being healthy.D. Protecting bones.25. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By giving examples.B. By raising figures (数字).C. By describing the course.D. By making comparison.第二节 请阅读下面的短文。并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整，连贯（共5小题，每小题2分）Many boys get hooked (钩住) on the games and want to learn how to reprogram them to their interest. From this attraction they go on to learn how to design (设计) and create technology. Often they become the technologists of our society. They lead us through the great changes of the information age and redesign our culture. ___26___ Although there are some girl gamers, most females use the technology but do not design or invent it. In the US, only about 20 percent of computer science majors (专业) are female. And only about 17 percent of high school students taking the Advanced Placement Computer Science exam are female. Though Women accounted for (占……比例) 46.6 percent of the US work force in 2005, they made up only 25 percent of the IT work force. ____27____ Girls and women miss out on educational and economic opportunities that go to computer-aware young men. In the long term, the absence of women at the design table will affect the direction of its influence in society. ___28___ More importantly, large parts of the economy and our social lives are being shaped without the experience of half the population (the female half). Is the absence of girls in computer science classes in high schools and colleges a matter of biology? Well, it maybe not.Interviews with women who are studying computer science reveal (揭示) a connection they see between computing and other areas they want — like medicine, environmental protection and so on. ____29____ What would our world look like if there were larger numbers of female computer scientists? ___30___ That would be a step forward. It seems necessary to make sure that women are “drivers”, not just “passengers”. The computer gaming industry needs a new operating system.A. So, where are the girls?B. But there is still no way at present to fix this.C. They did not like just playing around with computers.D. At least, products are being designed that do not meet the needs of women.E. Children would be more likely to find and enjoy computer games filled with less blood and killing.F. It matters a lot that the inventors, designers and creators of computer technology are mostly men and boys.第三节 信息匹配(共5小题,每小题1分) ___31___ I always feel stressed in winter.
