Passage Two

A review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence” that---all else being equal ---happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.

The study is the most comprehensive review so far of the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author ED Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events.

“We reviewed eight different types of studies,” Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed---contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.”

A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer-term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones.

There were a few exceptions, but most of long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life.

While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said.

“Happiness is no magic bullet,” he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.”

21. The word “compelling” (Paragraph 1) means “_______”.

A. direct

B. convincing

C. adequate

D. conclusive

22. According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener .

A. studied the health conditions of the subjects B. conducted experimental human trials

C. made long-term studies of human subjects D. review other researchers’ studies

23. According to the studies on university students and Catholic nuns, who are more likely to live longer?

A. Well-educated people.

B. Optimistic people.

C. Open-minded people.

D. Religious people.

24. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to a shorter life?

A. Depression and anxiety.

B. Lack of enjoyment.

C. Constant lack of sleep.

D. Stress and pessimism.

25. By saying that “Happiness is no magic bullet” (Paragraph 7), Diener means that happiness .

A. is not ever lasting B. is not easy to obtain

C. is not a good treatment of diseases D. is not a guarantee of health and long life

Passage Three

Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold blooded.

Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.

Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.

A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.

“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.

26. The focus of the passage is .

A. the meanings of expressions with “cold”

B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and body

C. why people are unhappy with cold weather

D. how some people become cold blooded

27. A cold-blooded killer may take the life of another person .

A. by accident B. for no reason

C. out of fear D. in self-defense

28. If a person “gets cold feet”, he or she may feel a little .

A. angry B. puzzled

C. disappointed D. frightened

29. A cold fish is a person who _______.

A. is indifferent to others’ sufferings

B. tends to turn down others’ help

C. remains cool in emergency

D. prefers to stay all alone

30. Which of the following expressions may mean “unlucky”?

A. Cold face. B. Cold feet.

C. Cold heart. D. Out in the cold.

Passage Four

The New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of—Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.” He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”, which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that ten per cent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence”.

Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs of being overly absorbed in technology are. She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”. The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another sign is if you always look forward to your next online visit — a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a few more minutes” when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found one’s communication with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is compared with family and friends; do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Internet instead of going out with others? Other indicators include the “online lift” that stops you being unhappy, and others’ complaints about you always being online.

31. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?

A. Internet Addiction

B. Virtual Lifestyles

C. Indicators of Net Dependence

D. Importance of the Internet

32. According to Tara Parker-Pope, millions of people .

A. have realized the problem of Internet addiction

B. cannot get rid of their habit of staying online

C. have become more patient and careful online

D. welcome the changes brought about by technology

33. What does Dr. Elias Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we are living in?

A. They make people eager to talk to each other.

B. They make people more dependent on the Internet.

C. They have a negative effect on real-life relationships.

D. They get more people interested in online studies.

34. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?

A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.

B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.

C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.

D. Arriving late for important appointments.

35. What does “tech overload” (Paragraph 2) mean in the passage?

A. Over-absorption in the Internet.

B. Over-dependence on e-mail.

C. Over-interest in technology.

D. Over-interaction with friends.

24. C 细节推断题。从(“anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life”)此句可以判断选项C并未包括在内。

25. D 逻辑推理题。由此句While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease(然而幸福本身可能无法预防或治疗疾病)可以推断，幸福感并不是健康和长寿的保障(not a guarantee of health and long life)。

参考译文：

一个160多项人类研究的分析报告发现了一个“清晰而又令人信服的证据”——所有的研究都是一样的——幸福的人往往更长寿，而且比那些不幸福的人更加健康。

这项研究是目前为止对幸福和健康关联度证据中最全面的分析报告。该文的首席作者埃德·迪纳对人类实验对象的长期研究，实验性的人体测试，评估受自然事件压迫人群的健康状况的研究进行了分析。

“我们分析了8种不同类型的研究，”迪纳说。“从每种研究类型中得出的普遍结论就是你的主观幸福感——即对生活的积极向上，不那么有压力，不那么心情沮丧——这有益于健康人群的长寿和更加健康。

一项为期40多年、涉及5000名大学生的研究成果显示，最悲观的大学生往往要比其他大学生早亡。一项持续时间更长、以180名年龄为青年到老年的天主教修女为对象的研究也发现，那些在20出头开始记录开心事情的修女比那些记录更多消极事情的修女要活得更长。

这其中也有一些例外，但是研究者所分析的绝大多数长期研究发现，焦虑、抑郁、对日常生活的冷漠以及悲观都与高疾病率和短命有关联。

然而幸福本身可能无法预防或治疗疾病，迪纳说怀有积极的情感和对生活的热爱确实有助于更加健康和更加长寿。

他说， 尽管“幸福快乐不是灵丹妙药”，“但是证据是清楚而有说服力的，幸福快乐既可减少患病几率，也可降低早亡几率。”

Passage Three

26. A 文章主旨题。从第一段第二句话“Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold””和后面的词组“cold-blooded”，“to get cold feet”，“cold fish”，“cold-hearted”，“out in the cold”可以判断，本文所讨论的重点是与cold有关的词组的意义(the meanings of expressions with “cold”)，因此A符合题意。

27. B 细节推断题。由文章第二段(The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason…)句可以推断答案B符合题意。

28. D 细节推断题。to get cold feet(临阵退缩)。由(The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do.)可以找出frightened(害怕的)为正确答案。Angry意为生气的，puzzled意为困惑的，disappointed意为失望的。

29. A 细节推断题。由第四段第二句话中的关键短语(shows no love or warmth)可以判断，cold fish应该是指冷漠的人。选项A符合题意。

30. D 细节推断题。文章最后一段解释out in the cold这个短语，由关键句子(“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got.)可以判断这个短语表示不走运的意思。Cold face文章并未提及，Cold feet表示害怕，Cold heart表示冷酷的。

参考译文：

寒冷的天气对我们的思维和身体机能有着非常大的影响。也许，这就是为什么有那么的词语都会用到冷(cold)这个单词。几个世纪以来，人们一直将身体里流动的血液和情感紧密地联系在一起。例如，那些没有人类情感或感情的人会被称为冷血(cold-blooded)。

冷血的人行事方式残忍，他们也许会故意对他人做出很残暴的事情。例如，报纸上说，警察正在搜捕一个冷血杀手。他杀人并非出于自卫，或是因为愤怒或恐惧而做出的本能反应。他似乎是无缘无故地杀人，非常无情，好像夺走他人的生命并没有什么大不了的。

寒冷会影响身体其它部位，例如，脚。如果你的双脚真的很冷，那么(穿上)厚厚的袜子可以给脚保暖。但有个词语临阵退缩(to get cold feet)，它跟冷或脚没有什么关系。这个词语的意思是：对自己已经决定要做的事情感到害怕。例如，你同意担任某个机构的主席。但就在这时，你得知所有其他管理人员都辞职了，这家机构的所有工作都将由你一个人负责。当你搞清楚这个局面之后，你可能会对担任主席一职想临阵退缩。

冷血动物(cold fish)并非说鱼，而是指人，是指那种不友好、无情又无爱的冷酷的人。冷血动物不会向任何人敞开心扉。像冷血动物一样的人，可能会表现的冷酷无情(cold-hearted)。如今，冷酷无情的人是指没有同情心的人。近年来，有几首流行歌曲描述了冷酷无情的男男女女，他们很无情地让自己的爱人心碎。

坐冷板凳(out in the cold)是个能经常听到的词语。它的意思是没有获得其他每个人都得到的东西。某个人也许会说，除了他之外，每个人都加了薪，他被丢在冷板凳上。冷板凳真不是人坐的好地方。

Passage Four

31. A 文章主旨题。题干希望提供一个标题，只有概括了全文内容的选项才能符合题意。从全文来看，第一段主要描述网络成瘾的危害，第二段主要描述了网络成瘾的症状，因此A符合题意。选项B和C只是部分内容，选项D不符合题意。

32. B 细节推断题。选项A是错误表达，文章第一句提及人们并未意识到这个问题。由第一段第二句(millions of us are addicted to being online.)判断选项B(不能改掉上网成瘾的习惯)符合题意。选项C是错误表达，和文章内容相反(making us more forgetful and impatient);选项D文中未出现。

33. C 细节推断题。由(which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships)此句可判断选项C(对我们的现实生活有着负面影响)为正确答案。

34. D 细节推断题。从文章第二段可以看出，选项ABC都是网瘾的表现，而选项D文章并未提到。

35. A 单词释义题。由此句(She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”.她提出了网瘾的七条表现形式)可以判断tech-overload是指上网成瘾的意思。因此选项A符合题意。选项B只是网瘾的表现形式之一，不全面。选项C中technology一词偏大。选项D文中并未提到。

参考译文：

纽约时报报道了一个我们大多数人都有的，但却没有注意到的问题——网络成瘾。根据记者塔拉·帕克·鲍博说，成千上百万的人们都有网瘾。她说这是一个日渐严重的问题，它让我们变得更加健忘和不耐烦。帕克·鲍博小姐写了很多有关强调技术正在改变人们的报道。在其中一篇报道中，她引用了网络心理学博士艾拉斯·阿布扎德的话：“生活越来越像聊天室了。”他说我们正在“虚拟生活方式”中生活，这种生活方式负面地影响着我们现实生活中的人际关系。尼克·道林，一位来自澳大利亚墨尔本大学的临床心理学家，在最近一项研究调查中总结道，有10%的年轻人都有他说称道的“网络依赖症”。

塔拉·帕克·鲍博就什么是过分沉溺于网络的标志咨询了这一领域的希赛网。她提出了七个“技术超载”的标志。第一个标志是，你是否在做其他事情的之前检查邮件。第二项是你是否很期待等会就上网---一个网络依赖和成瘾的确定标志。第三项，如果当别人找你有事时，你总是说“再等等”。帕克·鲍博发现一个人与其他人的交流同样也很能反映出与家庭和朋友相比互联网有多么重要。对于你会花多少时间上网或选择网上冲浪而不和别人出去玩，你会撒谎吗?其他指标包括“挂在网上”让你变得快乐，并且其他人对你的抱怨也只会在上网出现。

Part Ⅴ Writing：

What I am proud of doing in my study

As a student, the most remarkable thing I ever remembered is doing chemical experiments. This is also what I am proud of doing in my study. I cherish every chance when there is a time for doing experiments. The reasons may be listed as the following.

To begin with, doing chemical experiments is a good way to deepen my understanding of what I have learned in my chemistry class. Learning science is absolutely different from learning humanistic subjects. It emphasizes more on the application of book knowledge. When doing experiments, I am happy to check the knowledge in my textbook during the process of experiment and it is in this process that I developed a strong interest in chemistry and laid a solid foundation for my further study. Secondly, doing experiments is beneficial for developing a strict and precise attitude toward science. I should be extreme careful when designing experiments because no small mistakes are allowed, otherwise I cannot obtain the expected results. Besides, since it is very easy for various chemical elements to react when mixed together, I should decide the precise amount used in experiments. All these contribute to develop a strict mind.

To conclude, doing chemical experiments is the most rewarding experiences in my study. I am proud of the ability in doing experiments.
