He never watered his new trees, a(n) 36 which is contrary to 37 wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me tha

But driving your youngsters to the gates could

24、also cause their academic work to suffer.Researchers found children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, had poorer concentration levels than those who took a more active route such as walking or cycling.The joint study by researchers at two Danish universities found the regular

25、exercise could advance a student up to half a year in their studies. Children who were driven to school, or who took public transport, performed less well in a test measuring concentration levels, than those who had walked or cycled.The results surprised the researchers, as their hypothesis(假设) orig

26、inally focused on the effects of eating breakfast and lunch on pupils ability to concentrate.“The exercise one uses to transport oneself to school is reflected in the level of concentration one has about four hours later,” Niels Egelund, a co- author of the report said. “The results showed that havi

27、ng breakfast and lunch has an impact, but not very much compared to having exercise.”“As a third-grade pupil, if you exercise and bike to school, your ability to concentrate increases to the equivalent of someone half a year further in their studies,” he added.In the survey, taken by 19, 527 pupils

28、aged five to 19 years old, participants were asked about their exercise habits and were then given a basic test measuring their concentration.“Most people know the feeling of being refreshed after having exercised, but it is surprising that the effect lasts for so long,” Egelund said.Previous resear

29、ch from the university of Montreal has found that exercise helps our brains make better use of oxygen. It may also reduce mental fatigue(疲劳) and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And last week Swedish researchers said they found that muscular boys will live longer than their weaker frie

Exercise Look slimC. Exercise Live longer D. Exercise Learn faster52. Which of the following is NOT the result

31、of the research from the University of Montreal? A. Exercise helps our brain make the most of oxygen. B. Exercise can make you sharp- minded. C. Exercise can improve the level of concentration. D. Exercise can decrease mental fatigue.53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is

32、 correct? A. Having breakfast and lunch has a greater impact on concentration than having exercise.B. Children driven to school perform worse in all tests.C. Eating breakfast and lunch can affect childrens ability to focus.D. Having exercise can refresh us but it doesnt last long.54. Children driven

34、 served （unless in Guangdong style restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplingsIf you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at allPerhaps o

35、ne of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guestsIn formal dinners，there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticksThis is a sign of genuine friendship

36、and politenessIt is always polite to eat the foodIf you do not eat it，just leave the food in the platePeople in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumedWhen you have had enough，just say soOr you will always overeat!55The main difference on dinner t

Cyoure treated to a formal dinner for the first time. Dthe host will do the best to give you a taste of many different typ

Aacbd Bcabd Cacdb Dcadb57According to the passage，we ca

CPeople in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. DChinese all think

40、it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.58The sentence，in Paragraph 2，“you should say so in good time” means _. Ayou should say so early Byou should say so happily Cyoud better say so Dyou should say so kindlyCIs carrying a few extra pounds into your senior years healthy? Advice h

41、as been mixed. Now, two studies published this month attempt to better define the ideal weight for fitness and longevity for adults over age 60.The main point is that you dont need to worry about being slightly overweight, as long as that extra weight is maintained at a consistent level. However, be

42、ing very overweight is detrimental to health, and exercising to lose body fat and to gain muscle mass is always beneficial.Determining the ideal weight for older people has been a pursuit, with researchers looking for what weight is not too thin, but not too fat. Studies have suggested that being sl

43、ightly overweight can be protective. For example, a 2001 study by researchers at Yale University found that moderately overweight senior adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 two points higher than the BMI of 25 that defines being overweight lived longer than seniors who were either thinner or h

44、eavier. Theres a fine line here, though, because carrying extra pounds is a risk factor for many types of cancer and other diseases. And, according to the researchers behind the two new studies, the general public has misinterpreted the Yale findings to mean that being very overweight is healthy.One

45、 new study, published this month in the American Journal of Epidemiology by researchers at The Ohio State University in Columbus, found that seniors who maintained a stable, slightly overweight status survived most probably over the 16 years surveyed. Those seniors who had a so-called healthy weight

46、 going into the study (a BMI between 18.5 and 25) and who gained weight, but stayed below BMI 25, had a slight possibility of surviving over the study period.People in the obese group, with a BMI higher than 35 and who continued to gain weight, faced the worst among all the groups in the study. But

47、next-to-last were normal-weight people who lost weight, but this was likely because they became sick, the researchers said.The second study, appearing this month in the journal Obesity, was conducted by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., and supports intentiona

48、l weight loss among senior adults. Whether weight loss is beneficial has been debated because of this concept that being overweight is protective.In short, the researchers found that physical activity and weight loss for overweight and obese adults resulted in lower cardiovascular (心血管) disease risk

49、 and improved mobility. This finding supports previous studies demonstrating that exercise builds muscle and bone strength, improves balance and coordination, prevents falls and enables seniors to enjoy a more active lifestyle, they said.Hui Zheng of Ohio State, the lead author of first study, said

50、that the negative effects of obesity on health are greatest for young people.59. The underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. importantB. fundamentalC. harmfulD. helpful60. As for the 2001 study, the general public wrongly think that _.A. it is healthy and protective for peop

51、le to be very overweightB. people with a BMI of 27 or more are classified as overweightC. senior adults with a BMI of 27 lived longer than those either thinner or heavierD. carrying extra pounds is a risk factor for many types of cancer and other diseases61. What can we learn from the two new studie

52、s?A. Its difficult for seniors who have a so-called healthy weight to have a long life span.B. Its most dangerous for normal-weight people to continue to lose weight.C. The two studies are based on and in agreement with previous studies.D. The second one recommends overweight and obese adults work o

53、ut and lose weight.62. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The negative effects of obesity on health are greatest for young people. B. Being slightly overweight may bring some health benefits for seniors.C. It is harmless for overweight young people to continue to gain weight.D. People at a heal

54、thy weight should intentionally put on extra weight.DIt might not come as a surprise that China fell behind Western countries in a recent UN report on global happiness. China was only ranked 112th happiest country out of 156 in the UNs World Happiness Report in April.The happiest country, it seems,

55、is Denmark, closely followed by three more northern European countries- Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands.But apart from income and lifestyle differences, there are also cultural reasons for this divide. They show that Chinese people and Westerners have different perceptions of happiness.Accordin

56、g to a survey conducted by CCTV, income levels most affected Chinese peoples sense of well- being (55.5 percent), followed by health (48.9 percent) and quality of marriage or love life (32 percent).It seems that all these criteria are lagging(落后) in China, and that the obvious explanation for greate

57、r happiness in the West is higher incomes.But not so, says Professor John Helliwell, an American economist at the University of British Columbia and coauthor of the UN report.According to Helliwell, low-income individuals may experience an initial jump in happiness when their money increases, but th

58、is feeling decreases as they adapt to their new circumstances. He stresses the example of the US, where, despite GDP figures rising consistently for the past 50 years, happiness has been steadily declining.This is because people desire more than money and material wealth. “To be happy, we need to fe

59、el connection, trust and meaningful relationships,” explains Helliwell. Dr Deborah Swallow, a UK expert on cultural diversity however, believes there are some differences in the perceptions of happiness in the West and China. “For North Americans and Europeans, happiness tends to be defined in terms

60、 of personal achievement, and is best predicted by self-esteem” she says.“For East Asians, happiness tends to be defined in terms of interpersonal connectedness, and is best predicted by how well involved the self is in a social network.”Living standards are not necessarily the last word on happines

61、s, as suggested by Chinas Urban Happiness Ranking 2012, released by the Hong Kong-based China Institute of City Competitiveness in July.According to the surveys results, Qingdao in Shandong province is Chinas happiest city with a score of 95.08.Surprisingly, Chinas first-tier cities scored relativel

62、y low, with Shenzhen ranking 94th, Beijing 96th and Shanghai in 99th position.63. According to the passage, which of the following about happiness is Correct?A. Peoples sense of happiness has nothing to do with money.B. Peoples sense of happiness is determined by many factors. C. A man who has a str

63、ong social relationship is sure to be happy.D. A man with healthy body must have the most happiness.64. Which of the following statements might Professor John Helliwell agree with ?A. Happiness is an inner feeling and will not be influenced by the outer factors.B. Poor people may become happier when

64、 their income increases.C. Americans sense of happiness has been increasing in the recent years.D. Peoples sense of happiness is largely determined by income in the west.65. Which of the following statements is true? A. In general, people in West are happier than people in East.B. In East Asian, hap

65、piness has much to do with personal factors.C. Peoples opinions of happiness is completely different between the West and the East.D. In china, people in the highly developed areas are not necessarily happier than people in the poorer area.66. You might read the passage in a _ column of a newspaper.

66、A. Culture B.Society C. Medicine D. EducationEThe day the letter arrived from my university telling me how much I owed them for my first semester, I felt a lump forming in my throat. I hadnt even started my degree and already I was in debt. But although the sum was unsettling, I had peace of mind: I

67、 had taken out a loan that would cover the next three years of tuition fees and living expenses.A government body in the UK, the Student Loans Company, provides loans to students whose parents cannot afford to cover the costs themselves. Students forward this amount to the university in advance and

68、agree to repay the loan when they begin their first job. For me, it was a lot of money around 6,000(60,860 Yuan) per year in total and much more than I had ever been responsible for. I would receive a couple of thousand pounds per semester half for tuition fees, half for living costs. Even though I

69、will be paying off my debt for a long time, I dont regret my decision. Having a loan taught me a lot about money management, which I would not have learned otherwise. Each term I paid my tuition fees in one payment, but I also received my loan for living costs in one payment. It was up to me to orga

70、nize how I would spend this. I divided the amount to calculate my weekly budget and it was important that I tried not to overspend. I had to be disciplined and keep a close eye on my expenditure. Food, clothes and going out are the main things students spend money on. With a loan, students have tota

71、l financial freedom. Instead of having someone looking over their shoulder, they must make every financial decision for themselves. This year, university fees were tripled. But when it comes to money management, perhaps this generation will be the smartest yet.67. How did the writer feel when the le

72、tter arrived? A. Stressed. B. Calm. C. Relieved. D.Unsettled.68. Which of the following statements about the loan is right?A. Its meant for excellent students.B. Its well beyond what the author could be responsible for.C. Students must pay it off as soon as they get a job.D. Students can receive the

73、 money monthly.69. The student loan has all of the advantages except that_. A. It can make students live a comfortable life in university.B. It can enable students to carry on with their study.C. It can teach students to spent money wisely.D. It can help to reduce family burden.70. What does the und

74、erlined part “having someone looking over their shoulder” mean?A. to spy on you skeptically B. to rely on them heavilyC. to look after you carefully D. to watch over you closely第四部分：书面表达71. _China will become stronger and stronger in the near future.(hope) 在不久的将来中国有望变得越来越强大。72. So _for Chinese that

75、now less and less students choose it as a second foreign language. (learn) 俄语对中国人来说实在是太难学了，现在把它选作第二外语的学生越来越少了。73. Yesterday her husband together with her children _.

As one of her “fans” told me , they like her not only because of her beautiful look but because they were struck by her pure and fine natural inner quality.
