8.In the last decade,research (32)has shown (show) that resistance exercise can help numerous disease states,including depression.You can improve your overall health just by watching your weight and taking walks in the neighborhood.But (33)if you want to improve your fitness-look better,maximize health,have more energy,prevent injuries-you need to do more.
In recent years,emphasis has shifted to a type of resistance training (34)that/which builds muscles used in day-to-day tasks,helping avoid injury or re-injury.(35)Called (call) functional strength training,it helps with tasks such as lifting infants in and out of car seats or lifting garage doors.Another goal is (36)to reduce (reduce) the risk factors in patients with long-term diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
"Part of my job is trying to convince that 85-year-old woman that she really (37)should/must start weight lifting.(38)Others who need persuading are women recently treated for breast cancer."says Dr.Dennis Kerrigan,at Henry Ford Health System's Center for Athletic Medicine.
"Friends and family tell them,‘Take it easy,'but chemotherapy (化疗) can reduce muscle mass,leaving body fat that is linked to cancer returning,"he says."My suggestion?Strength training.It's taken a long time for women to realize (39)how important strength training is,but once they try it,they (40)are/will be hooked (hook)."

分析 本文介绍了抗组训练(resistance exercise)在治疗一些重大疾病中的重要作用,叙述了最近几十年来的研究成果.许多人最近格外重视一种能够增强抗阻力的训练,有助于避免人们受伤或者二次受伤,尤其是对于那些年迈的和患有乳腺癌的女性朋友更有必要.

解答 32.has shown  根据前面的时间状语In the last decade可知,句子该使用现在完成时;故答案为has shown.
33.if   but后面包含一个主从复合句,分析句意可知,前面的从句应该是后面主句的一个条件,所以用if引导的条件状语从句;故答案为if.  
34.that/which     分析句子结构可知builds muscles used in day-to-day tasks为一个缺少主语的定语从句,修饰先行词 resistance training,所以用that/which引导限制性定语从句;故答案为that/which.
35.Called      逗号后面为一个完整的句子,且没有连词,所以前面应该为一个非谓语动词的形式,此处指这种模式被称之为功能性体能训练;所以用过去分词短语;故答案为Called. 
36.to reduce   此处为动词不定式作表语,表示这项训练的目的;故答案为to reduce.  
37.should/must     这里是强调85岁老人练习举重训练的必要性,故答案为should/must.      
38.Others       还需要说服的是除了85岁的老太太之外的其他患有乳腺癌的人,故答案为Others. 
39.how         那些身体有特殊疾病的女性意识到这种体能训练的重要性是需要花费较长时间的,强调这种训练的重要性,所以用how来引导;故答案为how.
40.are/will be hooked    他们一旦尝试了这种训练就会爱上这种训练模式的,once引导的条件状语从句,后面的主句用一般将来时或者一般现在时的时态,be hooked意为"迷上…"故答案为are/will be hooked.

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

3.阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
A gap year (休假学年),also known as year abroad or year off,is a year during which students take time off and do something other than schooling,such as travel or work.The gap year is most commonly taken before starting university.
The practice of taking a gap year developed in the UK in the 1960s.During a gap year,a student might travel,take part in volunteer work overseas or undertake a working holiday abroad.
In 1978,the Prince of Wales John Blashford-Snell began a gap year voyage around the world.In the United Stares,the gap year idea was promoted by Cornelius H.Bull in 1980.
In recent years,the gap year has grown very popular among students in the UK,Australia,New Zealand and Canada.A trend for gap years is to participate in international education programs that combine language study,homestays,community service,and independent study.
In 2010,gap year travel has increased among school,college and university leavers,as this is seen as an attractive choice for future career development.

20.My Hero
What does it mean to be a hero?I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy.My hero is Mr.Wright,my chorus(合唱队) teacher.
When I was 12years old,my grandparents passed away.I was really close to them,and losing them was the hardest thing I've ever had to (36)D through.I couldn't eat,sleep,or think; I felt like I couldn't even breathe.It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me,and I (37)C into this huge hole of depression(抑郁).
(38)B I was battling depression,I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life.It was difficult to be (39)A,but I had to try.I joined Women's Choir.Mr.Wright was the choral director and he was so funny that the first day,I just knew I had made the best (40)B of my life.
As the year progressed,I loved chorus more and more.I began to smile again and really enjoy (41)D.
Then one day that all changed.My friends-or those that I thought were my friends-started talking about me behind my back.I was (42)C,and I sat by myself.Mr.Wright came over and asked what was wrong.The look in his eyes told me that I could(43)A him.Trying hard to (44)B back tears,I told him the whole story.
When I finished,he nodded and told me,"If you never learn anything from me,learn this:No one is worth (45)A your joy."What Mr.Wright said really (46)B a chord (心弦) in my heart.He(47)D cared about me and what was going on.I'll never be able to thank him enough,because he not only saved me but has (48)D every day of it since.Any time I feel like giving (49)C,I remember Mr.Wright's words and push forward.
I'm proud to say that I(50)A my depression,and I'm now a senior.I'm still a (51)B of chorus,and now I'm also in the best choir at my school.
Mr.Wright is a hero (52)C everyone he meets.He cares about every single person who walks through his door,and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I've known.That's (53)D he deserves to be Educator of the Year.He deserves the (54)A not just this year but every year.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you,Mr.Wright.You are an (55)C teacher,and I hope you realize that.You're my hero.

3.You know the feelings of operating on autopilot,running from one meeting to the next--or skipping from one email distraction to another.
Before you know it,the month has passed,the season has changed and you're left scratching your head,wondering how to bring meaning back to your career and life.
Kory Kogon,FranklinCovey productivity expert and co-author of The 5Choices to Extraordinary Productivity,says the problem is widespread.In fact,an international six-year study by FranklinCovey found that 40percent of respondents indicated they spent 40percent of their time on things that were"not important"to them or to their companies.
Based on the timeless principles of human productivity and backed by the latest neuroscience (神经系统科学) research,Kogon's co-authored book aims to help people increase productivity at work and in their personal lives by making wise choices on a daily basis.
"Our attention is under attack,and people feel overburdened like never before,"Kogon says.
Kogon says the condition is that people live with the effects of a productivity paradox (悖论).Technology has left individuals feeling overburdened with the number of decisions they must make during the day,the number of tasks that require their attention and the drain of their personal energy.
Adam Merril,another co-author of The 5Choices,says that the book research made him much more aware of how these challenges make harmful impact on individuals.
"You can see the cost of this on our daily lives,on our relationships that have not been cultivated and on our goals that have not been met,"Merril says.People waste time,attention and energy on things that don't drive the most important results.
Before jumping into the specific choices,it's important to note that the book builds on the FranklinCovey principles of time management,specifically the idea of fitting activities into quadrants (象限) based on what's urgent,not urgent,important and not important.
Quadrant 2,the home of activities that are important but not urgent,is seen as the place of extraordinary productivity.Kogon says it's in this quadrant that you can focus on doing proactive (积极主动的) work,achieving high-impact goals,creative thinking,planning,relationship building and learning.
"Unlike the other quadrants,where things come at you,you have to consciously choose to be in quadrant 2,"she notes.
But to get there,you must learn to rewire your brain,which has become accustomed to responding to the urgent and feeling that dopamine (多巴胺) high.Kogon says that the latest brain science shows that individuals can overcome"urgency addiction"by taking time to pause and consider what's actually important.
The strategy,which the authors call"pause-clarify-decide",puts emphasis on the difference between the"reactive brain"and the"thinking brain".
When you can pause long enough to ask yourself if something is important,you can clarify and decide what will give you the best return on every moment of your day.

4.At the top of a three-story brick building,Sue and Johnsy had their studio.One of the girls was from Maine; the other from California.They had met in an Eighth Street restaurant,and found their tastes in art,chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted.That was in May.
    In November,a cold,unseen stranger,whom the doctors called"pneumonia",stalked about the district,touching one here and there with his icy fingers.Johnsy was among his victims.
    One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a bushy,gray eyebrow.
"She has one chance in ten,"he said."And that chance is for her to want to live.Your little lady has made up her mind that she's not going to get well.Has she anything on her mind?"
"She wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day,"said Sue.
"Paint?Bosh!Has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice?A man,for instance?"
"No,doctor; there is nothing of the kind."
"Well,"said the doctor."I will do all that science can accomplish.But whenever my patient begins to count the carriage in her funeral procession,I subtract 50 per cent from the power of medicines."After the doctor had gone,Sue cried.
Johnsy lay,scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes,with her face toward the window.She was looking out and counting-counting backward.
"Twelve,"she said,and a little later"eleven,"and then"ten,"and"nine,"and then"eight,'and"seven,"almost together.
    Sue looked out of the window.What was there to count?There was only a bare,dreary yard to be seen,and an old,old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall of the brick house.The cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves,leaving it almost bare.
"Six,'said Johnsy,in almost a whisper."They're falling faster now.Three days ago there were almost a hundred.It made my head ache to count them.But now it's easy.There goes another one.There are only five left now."
"Five what,dear?"
"Leaves,on the ivy vine.When the last one falls I must go,too.I've known that for three days.Didn't the doctor tell you?"
"Oh,I've never heard of such nonsense.Don't be so silly.Why,the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well soon were ten to one!Try to take some soup now,and let Sue go and buy pork chops for her sick child."
56.What do you know about Sue and Johnsy from the first paragraph?A
A.They had a lot in common with each other.
B.They are from the same state in the United States.
C.They set up their studio on the third floor in order to see the ivy vine outside.
D.They both began wearing clothes with bishop sleeves only after they set up their studio.
57.Which of the following statements best describes the underlined word"pneumonia"?B
A.It was a stranger with magic power and was invisible to others.
B.It was a disease which resulted in many symptoms (症状),or even death.
C.It was a person who was moving around the district touching people with icy fingers.
D.It was someone who carried deadly bacteria and passed them to people without being noticed.
58.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.Johnsy had a bad temper and couldn't control her emotions very well.
B.Johnsy made up her mind to die because she had no confidence in science.
C.Johnsy counted the ivy vine leaves because she admired them and got inspiration from them.
D.The doctor believed that medicine would lose half of its power on the patient who did not want to live.
59.What may Sue do for her friend next?A
A.To go and buy pork chops for Johnsy
B.To prepare the funeral quickly.
C.To ask Johnsy to paint the Bay of Naples
D.To find Johnsy a boyfriend immediately.
