19．You must have written your research paper，your personal essay，your book review-whatever your school class requires．You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words．（36）C
But is it really done？Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision．（37）G
Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students．The classroom is a good place to practice patience，concentration and listening．There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way．You should put away your paper after you have written a first version，or draft．Wait several hours，maybe overnight，before working on it more．（38）DNot only are you refreshed，but you're looking at things through different eyes．That's what revision literally means-to see again through different eyes．
Following a four-step process may help you with your paper．The first step in the process is invention．It includes forming many questions about your subject．It is called"question-storming"．（39）BThen comes the revision period．Take your time to read what you've written，to think about it，and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now，as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader's eyeglasses rather than a writer's．The fourth step is called"publication"．（40）E In a sense，anytime you turn it over to another person，that's publication．
Probably，the process takes away some of the tension of writing．And worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing．

A．Perfect writing is not possible．
B．In the second step，you draft and compose a paper．
C．And you feel good because your work is finished．
D．This is just like returning to a job after a vacation．
E．This does not mean your writing is professional publication．
F．What is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper．
G．In other words，writing well means making needed changes and rewriting．
13．One of hisambitions（理想抱负） is to become a political leader．
10．For some people，music is no fun at all．About 4% of the population is what scientists call"amusic"．People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes．Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs．
As a result，songs sound like noise to an amusic．Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other．Life can be hard for amusics．In fact，most people cannot understand what it feel like being amusic．Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful．That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music．However，this can result in social loneliness．"I used to hate parties，"says Margaret，a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic．By studying people like Margaret，scientists are finally learning how to identify（辨别） this unusual condition．
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music．The difference is complex（复杂的），and it is not connected with poor hearing．Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well．They also have no problems understanding common speech．Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see certain colors．
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed（诊断）．For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem．Now she knows that she is not alone．That makes it easier for her to explain．"When people invite me to a concert，I just say"No，thanks．I'm amusic．'"says Margret．"I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy．"

32．Amusics are the people whoB．
A．like music                
B．are born unable to enjoy music
C．don't like music                
D．have poor listening
33．Life is hard for amusics mainly becauseD．
A．music seems noise for them．
B．amusics hate parties，restaurants or shopping center．
C．amusics try to stay at places full of music
D．people don't understand amusics
34．In the last paragraph，Margaret expressed her wish thatA．
A．her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier
B．she were seventeen years old rather than seventy
C．her problem could be easily explained
D．she were able to meet other amusics
35．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Some people's inability to enjoy music．
B．Musical ability．
C．Amusics'strange behaviors．
D．Identification and treatment of amusic．
17．You never see them，but they are with you every time you fly．They record where you're going，how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to stand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They're known as the black box
When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean June 30，2009，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine（潜水艇） detected the device's homing signal five days later，the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152passengers were killed．
In 1958，Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first model for a black box，which became a requirement on all U．S commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to stand crashes，however，so in 1965the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear（尾部）of the plane---the area least subject to impact---from its original position in the landing wells （起落架舱）．That same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．
Modern airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recorder，which tracks pilots'conversation，and a flight-data recorder，which monitor fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments．Placed in an insulated（隔绝的） case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel，the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2，000℉．When they went under the water，they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20，000feet．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1，2009，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they're still likely to  turn up．In the about 20deep-sea crashes over the past 30years，only one plane's black boxes were never found．

32．What does the author say about the black box？C
A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane
B．The idea for it's design comes from a comic book
C．Its ability to avoid disasters is incredible
D．It is an necessary device on an airplane
33．What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner？A
A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash
B．The total number of passengers on board
C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage
D．Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash
34．Why did the Federal  Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow？C
A．To tell them from the color of the plane
B．To caution people to handle them with care
C．To make them easily identified
D．To meet international standards
35．What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447？A
A．There is still a good chance of their being found
B．There is an urgent need for them to be restructured
C．They have stopped sending homing signals
D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil．
7．Why do men die earlier than women？The latest research shows that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline （衰弱）when they reach middle age．
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's  longevity  may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age．
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25percent between 18and 70years of age，"said the head of the study，David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK．
"Within the heart there are millions of cells（细胞） that enable it to beat．Between the ages of 20and 70，one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men，"said Goldspink．"This is part of the ageing process．"
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells．A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's．
"This gender（性别） difference might just explain why women live longer than men，"said Goldspink．
They studied more than 250healthy men and women between the ages of 18and 80，focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease．
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll （造成损失）on the male heart，said Goldspink．
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise．Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age．

56．The underlined word"longevity"（in paragraph 2）probably refers toB．

57．The passage mainly talks aboutD．
A．men's heart cells          B．women's ageing process

58．According to the passage，the UK scientists have known thatC．
A．women have more cells than men when they are born
B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D．the female heart never loses the pumping power with age
59．If you want to live longer，you shouldC．
A．enable your heart to beat much faster
B．find out the reason for ageing
C．exercise regularly       
D．prevent your cells from being lost
60．We can know from the passage thatB．
A．the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has been found out
B．scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of the cells
C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cells
D．women over 70could lose more cells than those at the age of 20．
14．My grandfather is a （41）retired（retire） worker．On summer evenings，we often sat together outside the house（42）enjoying （enjoy） the cool air．It was the time that he told me lots of his experiences before liberation．
When my grandfather was fourteen years old，he worked in a coal mine．One day，when he and his two workmates were working in the tunnel，an （43）unfortunate（fortune） thing suddenly happened．A part of the tunnel fell down，and they were shut in it．They had no food（44）to eat （eat）．When they were hungry，they only drank some water there．It was very cold in it．In order to keep warm，they hugged one another．In the darkness，they didn't know whether it was day（45）ornight，they only felt they had stayed there for a very long time．They were too hungry to speak or move，and thought they（46）would die（die）．At last，the tunnel （47）was dug（dig） through．They were saved．They had been there for fourteen days!My grandfather said they weren't let out at once．If（48）so，they would have died．They were kept at the entrance to the tunnel（49）where it was very dim，and they were fed （50）on/with some thin porridge．After a day or two，they had recovered a bit，and they were helped out．
11．There is an English saying，"Laughter is the best medicine．"Until recently，few people took the saying seriously．Now however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body．They have found that laughter really can improve people's health．
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body．People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart，blood pressure，breathing and muscles．It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise．It increases blood pressure，makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper； it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach，and even the feet．If laughter exercises the body，it must be beneficial．
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body．In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes．The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme．The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain．
  As a result，some doctors in the United States hold laughter clinics，in which they help to improve their patients'condition by encouraging them to laugh．They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing，making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter．
49．The underlined word"diminishes"in the third paragraph means"D"．
A．delays        
B．prevents        
C．increases       
D．reduces
50．Why do doctors hold laughter clinics？C
A．Because they want to ear n more money．
B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses．
C．Because they want to improve their patients'health．
D．Because they want their patients to laugh more．
51．What would be the best title for this passage？D
A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health．
B．Laughter clinics can help patients improve their condition．
C．Laughter can reduce the effect of pain．
D．Laughter is the best medicine．
12．The color of red，_____meaning is good luck and happiness，is important in Chinese culture．
A．whyB．whichC．whereD．whose
