As a young man，Al was a skilled artist. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night，his oldest son developed a stomachache. Thinking it was only some common illness，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the illness became serious，and the boy died suddenly that night.

Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，Al’s emotional health was weakened under the effect of his guilt. To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his six­year­old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle，and he began to take in a lot of alcohol and became an alcoholic．

As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he had—his home，his land，his art objects，everything. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.

When I heard of Al’s death，I thought he was a loser because he ended his life with nothing material to show for it.

As time went by，I began to change my judgment. You see，I knew Al’s now adult son，Ernie. He is one of the kindest，most caring，most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

One day，Ernie told me，“From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18，my dad came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘I love you，son.’”

Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he left love to his son，who became one of the finest，most giving men I have ever known.

28. Which of the following is true about Al according to the passage?

A. He used to have a happy family.

B. He lost his sons when he was young.

C. He went through the hard times bravely.

D. He died with his family around him.

29. What does the underlined part “alcoholic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. It refers to a person who has lost his children.

B. It refers to a person who drinks too much alcohol.

C. It refers to a person who trades alcohol for a living.

D. It refers to a person who has mental diseases.

30. What has become of Al’s second son Earnie?

A. He has a kind and loving heart.

B. He loses courage just like his father.

C. He himself is now an alcoholic too.

D. He also has an unhappy family.

31. From the passage, we can learn that _____.

A. taking any disease seriously is really important

B. love and kindness can pass on to the next generation

C. it is not good to judge others easily

D. emotional health can affect one’s life

D

One of the hardest things in life is sticking to a healthy diet.  Experts recommend you plan your meals in advance, so you aren’t attracted when faced with less-than-healthy choices. It’s said that the average American eats almost 25 percent of their daily calories from snacking(零食) alone, and snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity.

Therefore, there are two choices: Stop snacking (hard) or snack healthier (simple). But, for many of us, telling apart what’s “healthy” and how much to consume(消耗) are two different things. But, if you don’t keep the amount in check it can seriously ruin your diet.  It’s easy to consume double or triple the amount. If you’re struggling to keep you and your family’s snacking under control, you may be interested in the new online store called NatureBox.com, offering a new service delivered right to your front door on a monthly basis. 

After you sign up on their website and provide some information about your taste preferences and anything else, the company sends you a box every month containing a delicious selection of healthy snack foods. A box includes 12-15 servings across 4 to 5 different NatureBox snacks—enough to last you and your family for a month.

Each box costs just under $20 and shipping is always free.  NatureBox is meant to fit your lifestyle by providing you with snacks you’ll enjoy and look forward to eating. You can easily order what you want to receive based on the snacks you love most. And now, NatureBox is offering an immediate 25% off their first order.  Just enter the code “livehealthy” when you join.

32. We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. Almost 25 percent of Americans’ daily calories are from snacking.     

B. NatureBox is the name of a new kind of healthy snacking.   

C. It is easy for people to control their amount of snacking in daily life.   

D. Snack boxs from NatureBox are given to the customers for free. 

33. What does the underlined part “in check” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. in danger.      B. in control.        C. in need.     D. in store.

34. What is true about NatureBox?

A. NatureBox is a snack box given by the government free of charge.       

B. Each box from NatureBox costs more than $20 . 

C. NatureBox is an online store which sells healthy snacks.      

D. A box from NatureBox contains snacks for a family to eat for a year.

35. The passage is mainly about_____.

A. the unhealthy eating habits of Americans     

B. the development of healthy snacks in America    

C. a way of keeping a healthy diet        

D. a company that sells healthy snacks

阅读下面短文，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。

Most people believe they don’t have much imagination.    36   Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to make use of it. Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time deeply think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!    37    

Making connections. This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can.    38   So imagine you want to but a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

   39    Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If your goal is to learn to ski, for example, you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.

Be someone else!    40   Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? The best fishermen think like fish!

A. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do.

B. They are wrong.

C. If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions.

D. Here are three techniques to help you.

E. A good writer always visits as many people as possible.

F. Practice makes perfect!

G. No limits!

It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I    41   her room in   42    hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed,    43   to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold, spoke quickly to the nurse, and glanced at her chart(表格) noting she was in stable condition.

I was almost in the clear. I leaned（倚靠） on the bed looking down at her. She asked  44    I could help put on her socks.    45   , I began to say something like this: “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re    46    to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really    47    seeing him.”

She stopped me    48    a strict voice.  “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”

    I was    49    and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the    50   .

She began to tell me that her    51    son lived around the corner from her, she just had this one child but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this contributed    52    to her health problems.

After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked her if there was anything

53    I could do for her. She    54    her head no and smiled.    55   she wanted me to do was to listen.

第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分, 满分15分)

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 

Happiness, according to the Oxford English dictionary, is based on luck or good fortune. Joy ,   56    the other hand, is described as an emotion of pleasure. Thus, happiness depends on circumstance , joy, on our emotional well-being.

If you know joyful people, you will probably notice something common among them. Joyful people are often healthy, both    57   （physical）and mentally; they value strong positive relationships, and they don’t allow the extremes of life -- sudden highs or sudden lows -- to influence them too much. Joyful people lead a more stable(稳定的) life. But these    58   （ability）do not just arrive; they have to be worked at.

   59    (teach )ourselves to be joyful may be one of the greatest things we can do to improve our overall health.    60   , it is important to understand that joy is an emotion that arises from within us and is not affected by the things that happen to us. Instead of   61    (look)for external (外部的) things to provide happiness in our lives, we must work hard to find the joy within. Joy can be    62   (find) in our daily lives, so we must educate ourselves about joy and work to achieve it. One way to start is to make    63   decision to wake up every morning and find joy in our lives. Think about a special person or a    64    (devote) pet. It is our choice to be joyful or fearful. Let’s take the time to train ourselves to be joyful -- our lives will be both happier and    65   (healthy) for it.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was April 5th, a lovely spring morning. The air was fresh . The trees were green and the birds were singing happily. Police officer Tidwell left the station just after 8 a.m. on such a beautiful morning. He had spent a boring night on duty and was looking forward to his day of rest. By habit he took a short-cut down the path behind Dugby Hall road . It was quiet at this time of a day. Tidwell walked slowly ,enjoying the fresh morning air. But after a minute or two he saw a man climbing down a drainpipe (雨水管) from an open bedroom window of Number 29. In silence, Tidwell crept into the garden. Tidwell watched for a while and waited for the man to climb down slowly off the wall. The man reached the ground and was dusting himself down when he felt his arm caught.

“It’s 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?” Tidwell spoke with a serious voice of a police officer, holding the man tightly at the same time.

The man was obviously scared. He struggled for a while and then said, “I know what you are thinking, officer, but it isn’t true. This is a funny mistake.”

Tidwell did not believe his words at all but he said to the man, “It’s part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you’ve just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I’d like to make sure.” Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me your story...”

“Charlie Crane, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 51 Breton Street. My story…”

“Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Crane?”

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The man explained that he had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the

“Mr. Crane, what are you doing here?” A woman’s voice came behind them suddenly.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
