11．Bissel is a small village of the West Sahara．It lies next to al.5-square-kilometer oasis（绿洲），from here three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert．However，before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926，none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of the desert．Reportedly，they were not unwilling to leave this barren land．Many had previously tried but failed，always somehow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of trying to walk out．
When interviewed by Ken Levin，an expert at the British Royal College of Sciences，the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to the village．Why couldn't the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert？Levin was very puzzled．He had，by himself，managed to walk north from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days．He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery．He and a Bissel villager called Argutel，would walk out of the desert together．They prepared enough water for a half-a-month journey and two camels．But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass．Levin would follow Argutel．
Ten days later，they had walked for about 500 miles but were still in the desert．On the 11th morning，an oasis came into their view．They were back at Bissel．Levin now understood why the Bissel people couldn't escape the desert．They had no knowledge of the North Star，which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction．In the desert，if a person goes forward relying only on their senses，they will not be able to travel in a straight line．Rather they will travel in a very large circle and eventually track back to where they began．Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said，"As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night，you would be able to walk out of the desert．"Argutel did as he was told．Three days later，he came to the edge of the desert．
Now in the West Sahara，Bissel has become a bright pearl，where tens of thousands of tourists come every year．Argutel's bronze statue stands in the center of the town．On its base are the words：_________．

21．Ken Levin asked Argutel to walk to the north in order toA．

23．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．Ken Levin didn't walk south because it would take more days
B．the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desert

8．If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again．Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year，a survey has revealed．The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz-the equivalent of a whole dress size-while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz．
The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more．Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day．The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common vice，with 42 percent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate （38 percent），crisps （32 percent） and cakes （13 percent）．
And office workers are worse than most．Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to．In addition，33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon．
Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said："We were aware timepoor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch．But we were really shocked by the extent to which‘quick fix'lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing．Popular midafternoon pickmeups such as biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain．"
The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.24 percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying，compared to 20 percent of men．Unfortunately，it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats．

A．on the face B．on the legs C．on the feet D．in the middle
32．What's the main reason of eating snacks in office？C

B．Staff use them to cope with their lunches．
C．Colleagues often bring them to office．
D．Bosses invite staff to eat them．
33．Why do office workers eat a"quick fix"lunch？D
A．Because it has much of nutrition．
B．Because it has little effect on weight gain．
C．Because it has little effect on general wellbeing．
D．Because they have short time to have their lunches．
34．It can be inferred that British women areB．

9．Aging brings wrinkles，sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness．But getting older is not all bad for many people．Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness．There is conflicting research on the subject，however，and experts say it may all boil down to this：Attitude is everything．
Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than their younger and stressed opposites．The big question is why seniors are happier．A recent study suggests one reason：Older adults remember the past through happy memories．Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society．The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family，spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work．
But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older．
"The notion that those in old age are happiest is misleading，"said Richard Easterlin，a professor of economics at the University of Southern California．"It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income，health，family life．"Easterlin added，"When you take account of the fact that older people have lower income than younger，are less healthy，and more likely to be living alone，then you will find it hard to accept that they are happier．
In fact，scientists have found that as people age，their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die，which can make the elderly less happy．
Even if one does give in to age's dark side，health and happiness don't always go hand-in-hand．It's all about attitude．Research by the University of Chicago's Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness，is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born．It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness．
Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness，the good news is that there doesn't appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one's life．"Most people desire happiness，"Easterlin said．"To my knowledge，no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness．"

32．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？C
A．The key factor to older adults'happiness
B．There is a conflict between aging and happiness
C．No one can define the limit to happiness．
D．The relationship between health and happiness．
33．Why are some seniors happier according to some experts？A
A．They focus on what makes them feel good．
B．They have their own circle of friends．
C．They can enjoy social welfare services．
D．They have better income after retirement．
34．What can we learn from the passage？B
A．People of the same age have the same sense of happiness．
B．Attitude may play a very important role in happiness．
C．People who adapt the best to changes are more likely to be unhappy．
D．Older adults who have more valuable life experience are more optimistic．
35．What's the topic discussed in the passage？A
A．Whether aging or attitude brings happiness．
B．Why seniors adapt the best to changes in society．
C．What the limit to an elder person's happiness is．
D．How older people feel compared with younger people．

6．It's tough，it hurts-and yet more than two million of us in the UK run at least once a week．
Of course，some people run to lose weight，or to get fit，and these are great reasons．Running is also easy to do，it's cheap，and you can do it when you want．All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK．
But for many of those two million runners，the real reason we run is more intangible （无形的） than weight loss or fitness．
Many runners become interested in times．They try to break the 40-minute barrier for the 10K，or run under four hours for the marathon．Yet，really，these times are almost meaningless．And as soon as they are achieved，another target is thrown out almost immediately．
The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves．But why do we put them there？Nobody ever gives a wise answer．Deep down，we all know the answer．
Running brings us joy．Watch small children when they are excited，at play，and mostly they can't stop running．There's a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield，caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood，is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run．"I don't even know what I was running for-I guess I just felt like it，"he says．
This will to run is born．In fact，humans may well have evolved the way we did because of our ability to run．As we run，we begin to sense that children joy．
If we push on，running harder，deeper into the loneliness，further away from the world and the structure of our lives，we begin to feel strangely excited，separated yet at the same time connected，to ourselves．After a long run everything seems right in the world．After a long run everything is at peace．To experience this is a powerful feeling，strong enough to have us coming back，again and again，for more．

根据下列要求完成相应任务，将答案写在答题卷上．
78．Find out or write our no more than one sentence to state the main idea of this passage．the real reason we run is more （intangible） than weight loss or fitness．/the real reason why we run/the real reason for our running
79．The author mentions the example of Holdden Caulfield in the novel The Cather in the Rye in order to prove thatrunning brings us joy．
80．What does the underlined word"more"in the last paragraph refer to？．（more） running．

I am writing to tell you an important changeabout my summer vocation schedule which I have been longing for for a long time．I am really so sorry but I have to abandon this opportunity due to some unexpected arrangement from my college．
The reason why I have to change my summer schedule is that my college has arranged for a group of students to help some poor students in a remote village．Unfortunately，I am one of them．I hope my summer schedule change won't bring you much disturbance．Will this winter vocation be appropriate for me to carry on my American culture tour？So excited I am when I imagine that I can experience a different Spring Festival from my home town!
Again，sorry for the schedule change and inconvenience．I am looking forward to your reply soon．
Your sincerely，
Li Hua．
