While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland. Oregon, 1 noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family. First, he motioned to his youngest son as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a movingly loving hug. "It's so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, and replied softly, “Me too, Dad!” Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his oldest son and said, 'You're already quite the young man. 1 love you very much, Zach!” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug. His son said nothing. No reply was necessary. While this was happening, a baby girl was squirming excitedly in her mother's arms. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!" as he quickly kissed her face. After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared, "I've saved the best For last!" and proceeded to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. For an instant, they reminded me of newlyweds, but 1 knew by the age of their kids that they couldn't be. I puzzled about it for a moment, then realized how totally engrossed （全神贯注的）I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm's length away from me. I suddenly nervously asked, “How long have you been away?" He answered, "Two whole days!” Two days? I was certain by the intensity of the greeting I just witnessed that he'd been gone for at least several weeks, if not months, and I know my expression betrayed me. So, I said almost abruptly, "I hope my marriage is still that passionate after many years!” The man told me. "Don't hope…decide…” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said. "Good luck!” I was still watching that special man and his exceptional family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitating, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!” 【1】Why did the man's oldest son say nothing to the man? A.Embarrassment left him speechless. B.His father needed no comments. C.Their hug meant everything. D.He was too shy to say anything. 【2】What made the writer feel puzzled? A.The man's sincere greeting to others. B.The man's reluctance to board the plane. C.The man's strange behavior at the airport. D.The man's sincere expression of love. 【3】What advice did the man give to the writer? A.To take action for getting passionate marriage. B.To hope for the best in marriage. C.To be passionate whatever happens. D.To smile even in face of a departure. 【4】What does the writer mean by saying “my future"? A.He expects a bright future. B.He will become a person like the man.

How many afternoons have you slowly moved over to the office coffee machine and wondered: Is this really my fourth cup of the day? Or wait, is it my fifth? We've all been there, but a new study shows refilling your cup too often could be hurting your health. The study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests that drinking six or more cups of coffee per day may increase your risk of heart disease by up to 22%. Researchers from the University of South Australia analyzed the health records and self-reported dietary patterns of 347,077 participants between the ages of 37 and 73. They also looked to see which study participants possessed a specific gene, called CYP1A2, which enables people to consume caffeine faster than those without it. Overall, the researchers found that people who drank six or more cups of coffee a day were 22% more likely to develop cardiovascular(心血管的)disease during the study period, compared to those who drank one to two cups daily. The study authors believe that coffee(in large quantities) and heart problems may be linked because excess caffeine consumption can cause high blood pressure, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Most people would agree that if you drink a lot of coffee, you might feel nervous and irritable(易怒的).That's because caffeine helps your body work faster and harder, but it is also likely to suggest that you may have reached your limit for the time being. That doesn't mean that any and all coffee is bad fbr your heart, however. In fact, the researchers also found that participants who didn't drink coffee at all- and those who drank decaf (脱因咖啡)---also had higher rates of heart disease(11% and 7% higher, respectively)than those who drank one to two cups per day. Previous research has found coffee is rich in antioxidants(抗氧化物质)and may reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. That is, if it's consumed in moderation. 【1】What does the new study find? A.People like to drink coffee in the office. B.Too much coffee may be harmful to people. C.People tend to drink more coffee in the afternoon. D.Coffee is more popular than tea among young people. 【2】What makes people take in caffeine faster? A.The healthy dietary pattern. B.The high blood pressure. C.The specific gene CYP1A2. D.The antioxidants in coffee. 【3】What does the underlined word “excess” in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Too much. B.A little. C.Enough. D.More. 【4】What does the author consider most important for drinking coffee? A.The brand of coffee. B.The amount of coffee. C.The container of coffee. D.The flavor of coffee. |

Research shows students learn better when they’re well nourished. Healthy eating has been linked to higher grades, better memory, faster information processing and improved health leading to better school attendance, according to registered dietitian Elisa Zied, author of Feed Your Family Right. On the contrary, unhealthy eating habits can negatively affect learning. Researchers have studied many areas related to eating and learning. Skipping breakfast can have a negative impact on learning. A higher percentage of breakfast eaters passed a biology exam in one study of college students. It’s also important to eat a high-quality breakfast. In a study of students between the ages of twelve and thirteen, the average mark increased as breakfast quality improved. Even with breakfast, the brain can run out of fuel before lunch. In one study of students between the ages of seven and nine, having a mid-morning snack improved memory. The children who ate a smaller breakfast and lunch but consumed a mid-morning snack experienced a smaller decline in immediate and delayed memory. Attention wasn’t affected, however. Zied recommends yogurt with blueberries; this fruit has been proven to be linked to better memory in studies. A hard-boiled egg is also a good snack choice. Kids who eat healthily are more likely to attend school. Without proper nutrition and adequate calories, students often don’t have enough energy to power the brain, resulting in tiredness and learning problems. In fact, alertness(机敏) improved significantly in students eating breakfast in one study of high school students published in the journal Pediatrics. A study of public school students published in the Journal of School Health linked high intake of sweetened drinks, such as sugary sodas, to lower scores in math tests. A diet high in junk food and sugary sodas is also linked to childhood obesity, which could result in lower cognitive(认知的) functioning, according to the Yale University research. On the other hand, students with healthy eating habits are less likely to be overweight and more likely to learn well. 【1】What is an effective way for students to improve their memory? A.Eating a big breakfast on a regular basis. B.Staying away from junk food in daily life. C.Eating something healthy at about 10:00 am D.Adding yogurt with strawberries to their daily diet. 【2】What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A.Students will have better attendance at school after eating healthily. B.Students will have a good performance as long as they are well fed. C.A high-quality breakfast will make a difference to students, learning. D.Every student has a strong awareness of eating breakfast. 【3】What would happen to students who eat much junk food? A.They would become less confident at school. B.They would grow too overweight to work out. C.They would become unwilling to attend school. D.They would fall behind other students at school. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.The impacts of eating habits on students’ learning B.The advantages of healthy eating habits C.Some suggestions on how to learn better D.The link between diets and learning |

Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice.【1】Here are some guidelines to help you become a better English student. 【2】Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don't do too much; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will make studying more fun. React watch and listen. By reading English-language newspapers, listening to music or watching TV repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously absorb things like pronunciation, speech patterns and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you encounter. And do research to learn what those new words mean.【3】 Play vocabulary and grammar games. For example, if you’re going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did.【4】 And if you’re going to study verbs in the past tense, stop to think about what you did last weekend. Write down the verbs you use and review the various tenses. These games will make you think critically about vocabulary and usage. Write it down. Take 30 minutes at the end of class to write down what happened during our day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day, challenge yourself with creative writing exercises.【5】Or write a poem about someone you know well. You’ll have fun and study English effectively. A.Study every day. B.Keep things fresh. C.It can even be fun. D.Then use them the next time you are role-playing dialogue in class. E.Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities. F.Don’t be afraid to consult reference materials when studying grammar. G.Choose a photo from a book or magazine and describe it in a short paragraph. |

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I opened the door and was greeted as usual by Shredder. He bounded towards me, jumped up and put a paw on my shoulder. "Okay, boy," I said, rubbing his ears the way he liked. He wagged his tail contentedly. I usually played with him all day. But with so many things on my schedule these days—meetings, dinners, many houses to clean—I didn't have time. I told Shredder to lie down. "I have to get to work now,“ I said. I headed downstairs to clean the bedroom. All of a sudden, pain shot through my head. It was unlike anything I’d ever felt—10 times worse. Things slipped out of my hands, and I fell to my knees. I knew someone who had died from a brain aneurysm （脑部动脉瘤）. I had to get help before it was too late. I should call 911, but the nearest phone was in the kitchen. I tried to stand up, but couldn’t. I knew I had to get upstairs. It felt like my head was going to explode. I managed to crawl to the kitchen. But I couldn't move anymore. I was helpless. Through the sharp pain, I looked up. Shredder stared back at me from the top step. Did he think I was playing? “Come here,“ I whispered, trying to make my voice sound playful. He stared with doubt. "Come on. boy,” I said. Shredder ran down the steps and stood next to me. His tail stopped wagging. "Help me, Shredder,“ I said, holding his collar （颈圈）with my left hand. He climbed a step and then stopped. "Up!" I said. He looked back at me as if to say, “Is this right?” "Go," I whispered. He started to drag me. My left arm went frozen. 1 had to look at Shredder's collar to make sure I kept my hold. 1.续写的词数应为150左右： 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Shredder got me to the top of the steps. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The emergency medical workers gave me a quick check. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
