【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Stay on the brighter side of life

One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well - being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you' re grateful for.【1】

Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone , try acting like you' re happy-even if you aren't. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually f'ool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. 【2】Reassure yourself that everything is good- even if you don't feel it。

“ 【3】If you're stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly, too," says Anne

Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, you' re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that you're stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, you'll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.

Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve. 【4】You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going.

【5】 Try making someone else's day better .A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non volunteers. Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well - being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.

A. Try to help someone in need.

B. Want to give your attitude a lift?

C. People tend to think in an either - or way.

D. Act in an optimistic way-smile, laugh, tell a joke.

E. You'll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.

F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself.

G. By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a halfwritten letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged” as she explained.

My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing？”was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my_sister_has_developed_a_secondhand_love_of_clean_windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.

B. She became more and more forgetful.

C. She preferred to do everything by herself.

D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.

【2】My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because ________.

A. she had already finished them

B. my mother had taken them away

C. she forgot where she had left them

D. someone in my family was holding them

【3】The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ________.

A. is happy to clean windows

B. loves to clean used windows

C. is fond of cleaning used windows

D. likes cleaning windows as my mother did

【题目】I remember my' mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say "wolves" correctly.

It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time l was born,1 was read to. 1 would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices, whether it was my dad's softly accented, or my mother's clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English , the stream of communication flowed through our house.

One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city ,I left the house for the bus stop. 1 was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer ,I saw my mother lying on the ground.

In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.

The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing any-thing about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.

【1】From the second paragraph, we can know____.

A. the author was taught to read since she was born

B. the author's father spoke English poorly

C. the author couldn't fall asleep without being read to

D. the author's parents taught her language by talking a lot

【2】According to the last two paragraphs, the author's mom was unable to

A. think clearly

B. express herself well

C. speak

D. open her mouth

【3】This passage is mainly about ______.

A. a strong mother

B. the importance of language

C. a family disaster

D. the significance of teaching language

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

With the development of society, the life span of humans has stretched. Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 【1】 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.

One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 【2】 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.

___【3】 They help the boy defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 【4】 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 【5】

A. However, women, on average, live longer.

B. The biological factor plays an important part.

C. Women are also helped by their female genes.

D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.

F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.

G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.

Dear Mr. Green,

I'm very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine together. That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that.

Some of the columns that you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea. "Cultural Express" give us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different part of the world have different values, it's necessary to learn from each another. Apart from that,。Blurt Out" is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English. “Entertainment" is also cool! The popular singers, actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can't miss this part. Teenagers are to fond of popular things, too.

Well, I can't list more. I really can't wait to read this magazine.

Yours．

Li Ming

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go n a trip abroad, we can broaden you view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.

【题目】注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

I had been sitting by myself in my usual compartment for at least ten minutes, waiting for the train 【1】 (start). Suddenly I heard someone shouting on the platform outside. A young girl was running towards the train. The man on duty put out his hand to stop her but she ran past【2】 and opened the door of my compartment. Then the whistle 【3】 (blow) and the train started. “I nearly missed it, didn’t I?” the girl said. “How long does it【4】to get to London?” “It depends on the engine driver” I said. “Some days it’s much slower than others.” “I’ll have to have my watch 【5】(mend), so as not to be late again tomorrow,” she said.

“It’s my first day at work with a new firm today and they told me that the man I’m going to work for is very strict. I haven’t met him yet so I don’t know what he is like,【6】 he sounds a bit 【7】(frighten).”

She talked about her new job 【8】 the way to London and before long, I realized that she was going to work for my firm. My secretary had just left so I must be her new boss. It was only fair to tell her. “Oh, dear,” she said. “【9】 a terrible mistake! I wish I had known”. “Never mind,” I said. “At least you’ll know when your train’s late, 【10】 (I) will be, too.”

【题目】Many people now have problems with sleep. Drinking milk is helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

【1】According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk ________.

【2】Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

B. It can make people more energetic.

D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the next?

A. Night Milk and Sleep

B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. An Experiment on Mice

D. Milk Drinking and Health

【4】How does the author support the theme of the text?
