12．That"Monday morning feeling"could bea crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath．
Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break．
The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven，but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2，600Germans showed that the average person had a 20percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day．
Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack，with a 33percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week．Non-workers，by comparison，appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day．
A study of 11，000Italians proved 8a．m．on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart，and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day，with fewest heart attacks in both countries．
The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks，according to Dr．Stefan Willich of the Free University．"We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol （胆固醇） but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks，so we can't give clear advice on how to prevent them．"he said．
Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity，and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work．
"When people get up，their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal （内分泌） changes in their bodies．"Willich explained．"All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot （血凝块） which will cause a heart attack．"
"When people return to work after a weekend off，the pace of their life changes．They have a higher workload，more stress，more anger and more physical activities．"said Willich．

10．We experience different forms of the Sun's energy every day．We can see its light and feel its warmth．The Sun is the major source of energy for our planet．It causes the evaporation （蒸发） of water from the oceans and lakes．Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food．These green plants then provide food for all organisms（生物） on the Earth．
Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth's surface．It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere．Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere，30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth's surface．The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet，causes water to evaporate，and provides energy for the water cycle and weather．Only a tiny part，approximately 0.023%，is actually used by green plants to produce food．
Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth's surface back to the Earth．These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving．They are therefore called greenhouse gases．
When sunlight strikes an object，some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected．The amount reflected depends on the surface．For example，you've probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it．Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun，so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter．Dark-coloured surfaces，such as dark soil or forest，absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air．
67．Many gases found in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases becauseA．
A．they perform the same function as the glass of a greenhouse．
B．they stopped energy from the sun entering the earth．
C．they provide energy to warm the surface of the planet．
D．they reflect heat energy escaping from the earth back to the earth's surface．
68．According to the passage，the root cause for weather changes on the Earth isA．
A．energy from the Sun
B．the atmosphere surrounding the Earth
C．greenhouse gases in the sky
D．water from oceans and lakes
69．Only a small part of the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's surface because most of it isB．
A．absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere
B．lost in the upper and lower atmosphere
C．used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes
D．reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere
70．We learn from the passage thatD．
A．a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy
B．greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth's surface
C．only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth
D．all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food．

9．A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃．Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate．Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world．Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world．
In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（资源）：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals．This action affects the environment as a whole．For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests．People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit．
There are two main reasons for this．Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two．Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply．
Rainforests are often called the world's drug store．More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests．However，fewer than l%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value．It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests．
63．Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because theyC．
A．bring about high rainfall throughout the world
B．reflect more heat into the atmosphere
C．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
D．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃
64．What does the word"this"underlined in the third paragraph refer to？D
A．Humans have begun destroying rainforests．
B．People have a strong desire for resources．
C．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests．
D．We will lose much more than we can gain．
65．It can be inferred from the text thatA．
A．there is great medicine potential in rainforests
B．we can get enough resources without rainforests
C．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
D．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
66．What might be the best title for the text？B
A．How to Save Rainforests
B．Rainforests and the Environment
C．How to Protect Nature
D．Rainforests and Medical Development．

8．When people want to know about the weather，they usually go to their radios，TVs，newspapers，or to the Internet．However，you can also find many weather signs among wildlife，because of their highly developed senses．Drops in air pressure produce an effect on small animals in many ways．Mice and deer are good weather indicators．People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that，before a storm，field mice come out of their holes and run around．Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains．
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways．For example，some birds become irritable（急躁的） and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread．Other birds chirp（叽叽喳喳） and sing just before a storm．It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two．Birds also look for safe places before a storm．You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building．Pre-storm low pressure make the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying．
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime，rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn．Watch for other weather signs if you see this．If they fly in the wrong direction，they may be flying ahead of a storm．
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature，we can become better prepared for any kind of weather．
55．The word"indicators"in paragraph 1probably meansD．
A．maps                  B．services              C．stations           D．signs

D．By feeling a drop in air pressure．
58．The best title for the text would beC．
A．Drops in Air Pressure
B．Animals'Sharp Senses
C．Nature's Weather Signs
D．Signs of a Storm．

6．There is song in English that goes like this：
"Sign，sign，everywhere a sign，blocking out the scenery，breaking my mind，Do this，don't do that，can't you read the sign？…"
This song is very fitting because today's topic is about signs that you will see on the road while driving down a street．Then，let's have a better understanding of them in America．
Stop sign-When you see this sign you will have to come to a complete stop in your car or bike before you continue moving forward．
Crosswalk-This is a sign that indicates（表明） people have the right of way to cross the street，so cars have to stop when they see a person waiting next to one of these signs．
Turning-This sign indicates that the road is turning ahead，so be careful．
Speed limit-When driving in the United States you will have to watch out for speed limit signs as the speed limit changes frequently depending on where you are driving； the number on this sign indicates the maximum（最高的）miles per hour you can drive in that road．
Do not enter-This sign indicates you are not allowed to enter a road at that point．
Buckle up!-There are often signs on roads in the United States reminding people that wearing seat belts is mandatory（强制的）（seat belts laws differ depending on what state you are in，but all US states have seatbelt laws）．
Construction-This sign indicates there is construction happening in the area and that you should slow down and be careful．
One way-This sign indicates which direction traffic is flowing when cars are only allowed to drive in one direction（方向）．
Parking-The letter P is often used to stand in for the word‘parking'on signs where parking is allowed or prohibited．
…
Many of these signs are self explanatory（不解自明的），because the symbols or pictures used are obvious，to get a message across to everyone，even if they can't read．
62．The writer uses the song at the beginning of the passage toC
A．help readers sing the song
B．tell the meaning of the song
C．lead into the topic of the text
D．ask the driver to sing the song．
63．While seeing the Speed limit signs in your car，youD．
A．have to drive at the maximum speed
B．have the right of way to cross the street
C．have to come to a complete stop
D．can't drive faster than the maximum speed
64．According to the passage，which one is NOT true？D
A．Turning indicates that the road is turning ahead．
B．Construction indicates there is construction happening in the area．
C．"Buckle up!"signs remind people to wear seat belts．
D．Do not enter indicates you are allowed to enter a road at that point．
65．The passage is mainly toB．
A．introduce an interesting song to readers
B．explain some road signs for new drivers
C．tell pedestrians different signs on the road
D．stress the importance of the road signs．

5．Human beings have used tools for a very long time．In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago．They made these tools by hitting one stone against another．In this way，they broke off pieces from one of the stones．These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side．People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals，and also for making other tools out of wood．Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals，such as lions and tigers．Tools helped people to get food more easily．
Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence．The human brain grew bigger，and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines．The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used，and perhaps it is the most important．Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind．
Since 1960a new kind of tool has appeared．This is the silicon chip （硅芯片）．It is smaller than a finger nail，but it can store lots of information．It is an electronic brain．Every year these chips get cleverer，but their size gets smaller，and their cost gets less．They are used in watches，calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways．In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way．Machines will do everything for us．People will have plenty of spare time．But what will they do with it？
Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years，but human life changed very little in that time．We have used silicon chips for only a few years，but life is changing faster every day．What will life be like twenty years from now？What will the world be like two million years from now？
64．From paragraph 1，we can knowC．
A．why early human beings cut skin from dead animals
B．how early human beings discovered the tools

C．developed cooking abilities of mankind
D．was one of the first tools of mankind
66．The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage toD．
A．show the changes of tools
B．introduce a new kind of tool
C．give an example of using tools

C．hard to predict
D．full of meanings．

4．After we meet people，it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend．The major qualities like faithfulness，devotion，friendliness，flash through our minds．But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one's whole character，such as cheerfulness，friendliness and punctuality．After all，"to make a friend，be a friend"is not such a big and difficult order．There are particular favorable qualities，which attract others to us，and some fundamental psychological dos and don'ts．
If you are in the presence of a shy person，talking and asking casual questions may bring him out of his shell．Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person for you to talk，or to listen．Either way，the goal is to make yourself pleasant．
Always remember to listen，but listen intelligently．To have anyone"hang on our words"is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody．For a few extremely happy seconds we are the center of attraction，but when it is our turn to be audience，let us remember how we felt as the actor，and let's be genuinely interested in what the other fellow is saying．
Other people will like us，if we like them．If you want friends，keep your mind and heart open to friendship．Be alive to the other person's world．

3．Laresce was born with a condition called hypermobility（运动过度）which meant her joints were"bend"．The condition can use severe joint pain and lead to dislocations（脱臼）．
But rather than feel sorry for herself，she used her misfortune to inspire her to become Britain's strongest schoolgirl．
Just two years ago，the condition left Laresce in so much pain that she couldn't even take part in sports．But now she has six British and World Champion powerlifting records．It's an incredible achievement．
Laresce's trainer Tania George said her condition is the secret to her success．"She has more flexibility in her back than most people，which gives her the technique of bending her back strongly and safely．Most powerlifters would kill to try to bend their backs like Laresce．She has perfected the technique to lift incredibly heavy weights，"Tania said．
"I used to suffer a lot of pain from my hypermobility．I remember coming home from  school with pains in my knees，joints and hips．It would stop me doing normal things at schoo1．The pain would be so much that some nights I couldn't sleep at all and I just couldn't face going to school like that．And after each dislocation，I had to do six months of physiotherapy（理疗）to recover，"said Laresce．
However，since taking up the sport of powerlifting 18months ago she is now effectively  cured．"really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me    to do my very best，"she said．
"I've made lots of friends a It's an incredible feeling when everyone's cheering me on．It's the support of other people that makes the difference to winning．Becoming a champion was a big surprise-I just started off for fun and wasn't expecting anything．So to win six titles over just a few months was amazing．"
