Passage 2
Can laughing every day help keep the heart attack (心脏病) away? Maybe so. Laughter, along with an active
sense of humor, may help protect people against the heart attack, according to a recent study from the University of
Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
“The old saying that ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’ seems to be true when it comes to protecting your heart,”
said Michael Miller at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
In the study, researchers compared the humor responses (反应) of 300 people. Half of them had suffered a
heart attack. The other 150 did not have heart disease. Researchers provided people from the first group with a
series of multiple-choice (多选的) questions to find out how much or how little they laughed in certain situations.
And the second group were given true or false questions to help researchers know more about anger.
Miller said the most important study finding was that “people with heart disease responded less humorously to
的
everyday life situations” They generally laughed less, even in positive (乐观 ) situations, and they showed more
anger. “We know that exercising, no smoking and eating foods low in fat will help cut down on the risk of heart
disease. Perhaps hearty laughter should be added to the list.” Miller said.
It may be possible to put laughter into our daily activities, just as we do with other heart-healthy activities,
such as walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift. According to Miller, every one of us is supposed to read
something humorous or watch a funny video, and try to find ways to take ourselves less seriously.
25. At the very beginning of this article, the topic is introduced by ________.
A. an example B. a question C. a problem D. an experiment(实验)
26. In the study, what did researchers want to know about the first group of people?A. Why they suffered a heart attack.
B. Whether they had heart disease or not.
C. What helped protect them against heart disease.
D. How much or how little they laughed in certain situations.
27. The result of the study shows that ________.
A. the first group of people generally laughed more B. the second group of people showed more anger
C. exercising can keep people away from getting sick D. laughing can help cut down on the risk of heart
disease
28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It is time to take ourselves less seriously. B. Laughter is as important as walking up the stairs.
C. Every one of us should do something to keep fit. D. Laughter is the best medicine to keep heart healthy.
Passage 3
When I arrived at my class on the early morning, I suddenly felt upset and uncomfortable. Today was the day
when our teacher would leave and move to another school. Mr. Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun
with. He was cool, relaxed and was always friendly when you would see him. I couldn’t even imagine how things
were going to be without him.
“Thank you everyone for my time here. I will forever keep these memories and friendships I’ve made in the
past five years.” He took a deep breath and said, “As a moment for me leaving, please look under your seats.”
Confused(疑惑不解的), I slowly checked under my seat to see a yellow block of wood that read “Love” on it.
I quickly got it and began to study it. After seconds of watching the block, I realized that it was a Jenga block(积木
块).
Tears ran down my face and fell on the Jenga block. I heard my classmates sobbing(抽泣). That was to say,
everyone in my class had a Jenga block with the word “Love”. We hadn’t found a way to express(表达) our sadness
and also we couldn’t find a way to express our love to the respectable(令人尊敬的) man. “This is a reminder(提示
物) to always love others.” Mr. Smith said slowly.
Maybe that day wasn’t the worst day, and it was just a moment of my life and I was too young to understand
Mr. Smith. What Mr. Smith taught us is that whenever and wherever we are, we should love others. The Jenga
block acts as a reminder, encouraging me to give a hand to those in need of help. As time goes on, “Love” others
has been a habit.
29. Mr. Smith was going to __________.
A. change his job B. teach a new subject
C. give his last lesson D. work in another school30. Mr. Smith was a teacher who could make his students feel __________.
A. pleased B. excited C. bored D. nervous
31. Where did the students find Jenga blocks?
A. In their desks. B. Under their seats. C. On the blackboard. D. Inside their hearts.
32. What do we know about the Jenga block?
A. It is the symbol of love.
B. It shows students’ respect to Mr. Smith.
C. It means good memories and friendships.
D. It stands for Mr. Smith’s wish to his students.
33. What is the best title for the text?
A. Love is a habit B. Hard to say goodbye
.
C A teacher’s gift D. An unforgettable lesson
B. 阅读短文.根据短文内容，从短文后所给的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。
Passage 4
Good grammar matters
Why is good grammar important? Well, good grammar can save lives! Just consider the difference between
“Let's eat. Grandma!” and “Let’s eat Grandma!” With the first one, you are inviting your grandma over for a lovely
meal. The second one sounds like you are excited about cannibalism(同类相食).
Jokes aside, some people think good grammar is unnecessary. They think that as long as they are being
understood, it should not matter whether there are a few grammatical mistakes or not.
___34___ I believe good grammar matters.
Thinking about your grammar when you are writing makes you easier to be understood. You may think a
grammatical mistake doesn’t matter. But think about it from the reader’s point of view(观点). Even a small mistake
can make your reader stop and read the message again. ___35___
___36___ Being able to speak and write correctly, over time, builds your confidence while using English. This
will encourage you to increase your vocabulary. With good grammar and a wide vocabulary, you will find it easier
to express your ideas and communicate with native speakers(讲母语的人) .
的
Good grammar can also make you appear more reliable(值得信赖 ). Just think about your attitudes(态度)
towards a newspaper that has many grammatical mistakes in its articles. You will doubt (怀疑) if the information in
the newspaper is reliable, won’t you?
The same is true on a personal level. If there are many careless mistakes, then it appears to readers that youdon’t care about your work. This makes them less likely(可能的) to trust you.
___37___
A. But I don’t think so.
B. That will make your writing bad.
C. So will you try to learn grammar well?
D. He or she will have to spend more time understanding it.
E. I hope you have now seen the importance of good grammar.
F. Good English grammar will help improve your English skills.

new million produce easy work

this waste is buried(填埋) in landfills(垃圾填埋场), which may pollute water and soil. What’s more, we are
running out of space for new landfills.
In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into something
____55____, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer (肥料).So we need to sort our garbage.
Can’t garbage-processing companies do the sorting job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of
____56____ and costs lots of money. Things will become much ____57____ if each of us can sort our own
garbage. Also, the task of sorting encourage people ____58____ less waste.

Passage 5
Orphan elephants
An elephant calf
When an elephant calf is born, it stands quickly on its feet. It drinks milk from its mother for a few years. The
mother elephant teaches her calf how to use its trunk(象鼻). She teaches it many things. The mother elephant is
very important to an elephant calf.
Becoming an orphan
Elephants travel a lot. Sometimes they have to cross rivers. A calf can be washed down a river. Or it can fall
into a hole. When a calf is separated from its mother, it becomes an orphan. Sometimes a calf becomes an orphan
because its mother has been killed.
A park for orphans
In the wild, an elephant calf needs its mother. It can’t live without her. It can get sick. Some people called
keepers, take care of the orphan elephants in a park. The keepers take care of the elephants until they can take care
of themselves. Then, the keepers take the elephants back to the wild.
Caring for the orphans
The keepers need to teach an elephant calf how to feed. To make it more relaxed, they rest its trunk against a
huge blanket (毯子) , which feels a little like its mother. In the wild, an elephant calf will go under its mother to
find shelter (庇护处) from the sun. At the park, the keepers put an umbrella over them.
Dika--an orphan elephant
One day, the keepers found Dika. He was all alone. Some people had killed Dika’s family, and he had run
away. The keepers took Dika to the park. He was taken care of, but he cried for his mother. It was a long time
before Dika was happy again.Back to the wild
Dika was ten years old before he could live in the wild again. Many years later, he came back to the park. He
had some wire (电线) around his leg. He needed the keepers to help him. Orphan elephants don’t forget where they
were cared for.
