27、.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much time sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby and our systems sluggish. There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such feat
28、ures of modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to minimise the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people p
29、laying football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sportsand it is especially difficult to do so if you are no good at themthere are such solitary activities as cycling, wa
30、lking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.Even after you have found a routine for keeping in
31、 shape, through sport or gymnastics or isometrics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation. It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga
32、, as practised in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical, though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity-physical effort on t
33、he one hand and relaxation on the otherwhich were the natural way of life of our forefathers.（分数：10.00）(1).Pollution, noise and stress are examples of_.A. causes of unfitnessB. bad features of living in townsC. the things we can completely do away withD. unavoidable things in towns（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(
34、2).Most of the people who go to the park at the weekend are_.A. football playersB. football spectatorsC. keep-fit enthusiastsD. elderly people（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).We dont get much out of solitary sports because we_.A. dont do them very oftenB. dont do them vigorously enoughC. find it hard to get out
35、 of our armchairsD. dont find them interesting（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).To be healthy we must_.A. keep fit and activeB. keep fit and learn to relaxC. be active and practise YogaD. have a sound mind（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Our forefathers were healthy because_.A. their way of life involved both exercise and r
36、elaxationB. they were careful to get plenty of fresh airC. they spend most of the time out of doorsD. their environment was not polluted（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Are you always sure you know what people mean when they try to describe their feelings to you? We use both words and gesture
37、s to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be interpreted in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feel
38、ing. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behaviour patterns are inherited rather than learned.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English fiction, a phrase like he
39、 went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is either very afraid or has just had a very nasty shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it conveys surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out the
40、ir tongues“. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses disgust.Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to interpret and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happ
41、iness on peoples faces. Disgust, contempt and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies have shown that older people usually find it easier to interpret body language (the way people stand or move etc. ) than younger peopl
42、e do. And psychologists such as E. G. Beicr have also shown that some people frequently give completely the wrong impression of how they feel. For instance, they try to show affection but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they dont care. T
43、his can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what other people understand.（分数：5.00）(1).What might be the reason for the behaviour patterns of an
44、imals and humans?A. They learn them from their parents.B. They develop the patterns as they grow older.C. They are born with them.D. They are taught about them by their elders.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following emotions is NOT shown in the same way in different cultures?A. Happiness. B. Sur
45、prise.C. Sadness. D. Terror.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What kind of people are better at recognizing the expression of horror?A. Men. B. Children.C. Old people. D. Women.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Two close friends wont make mistakes in expressing and i
46、nterpreting each others feelings.B. Stretching out ones tongue conveys an unfavourable expression in English.C. It is easy for people to recognize and express the strong feeling of dislike.D. Older people are not better than young people in understanding body language.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).We can gen
47、eralize from the passage that _.A. we express our feelings in much the same wayB. men differ from women in their ability to express and interpret feelingsC. our feelings are not so easy to express and interpretD. different cultures have different ways in expressing and interpreting feelings（分数：1.00）
48、A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)My family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska, a place that combines supernatural beauty with a breathtaking amount of bear risks. Ill start with some facts at a glance:WHERE ALASKA IS: Way the hell far from you. Beyond Mars.HOW YOU GET THERE: You sit in a v
49、ariety of airplanes for most of your adult life.WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU: Bears.I am quite serious about this. Although Alaska is now an official state in the United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt, it also allows a large number of admitted bears to stride freely, and nobody seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be proud of it. You walk into a hotel or department store, and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a
