"So you think it useless？"the old man asked．"Then look at the basket．"To his surprise，the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out．"My child，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but the words will change you inside and out．That is the work of reading in our lives．"4.Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water？______A.

And many of them are often told: if you exercise, you will lose weight; ------which is one of the most widely accepted ideas in our culture. As a doctor, I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?It’s another question many of us may ask. More than 35 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.And yet obesity figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases — those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or from magazines like this one.12.Which title is the most suitable one for this article? ______A. Overweight Is Not Good for YouB. Exercise Won’t Make You ThinC. Gym Is Part of American LifestyleD. A Health Problem in America13.Which statement is correct? ______A. Some Americans join a health club but never take exercise thereB. The number of overweight people has doubled since 1993 in USC. More than 35 million Americans now go to the gym regularlyD. Most Americans waste too much money each year on sports14.From the passage, we know that exercise ____.A. has long been believed to be good for older adultsB. is not properly advertised as a way to lose weightC. was never recognized as an effective way to lose weightD. is not useful at all15.According to the passage, why do people gain weight? ______A. Because they have the habit of going to the gym regularlyB. Because they eat the same food when they do not exerciseC. Because they exercise less than required by doctorsD. Because they eat more after they exercise16.What can be inferred from the passage? ______A. Most Americans are overweight.B. Very few people in America are overweight.C. The author takes exercise all the time so he is very slim now.D. The author takes exercise all the time but it doesn’t make him lose weightEHome schooling nowadays becomes more popular. Home schooling is the education of children taught at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in a formal setting of public or private school. The advantages of home schooling are plentiful, including the ability to create a positive learning environment without the danger and distractions of public school. What’s more, parents could stay with their children together for more time. However, home schooling also has disadvantages.First, home schooling may lead to students less communication with others. As we all know, the students who learn in public schools may find a lot of friends. When they meet difficulties, they can get help from others. But as for the students studying at home, the only persons they meet are their parents or tutors. It is certainly true that the children will have less interaction with their peers than those who attend public school on a regular basis.Second, home schooling may make children not know how to cooperate with others. Children who learn at home always stay with their parents or tutors. When they meet difficulties, they are always turning to and depending on their parents. But the children in public schools may know how to solve the problem with their friends.What’s more, home schooling may cost much more money than public school. If the parents want to take on the responsibility of educating their children themselves, it’s up to them to finance the entire experience. Learning materials, computer software and books that are otherwise paid for by the public school are needed, in addition to the regular school supplies all parents must purchase for their children. Considering that the parent doing the home schooling is unlikely to manage a full-time job on the side, these expenses are tough for some families to meet.17.What is one of the benefits of home education?A. It creates a more negative learning environment.B. Parents can stay with their kids for more time.C. Children have more social abilities.D. It has much lower cost.18.What would happen in the style of home schooling?A. One will have less peer pressure.B. One will have an easier way to make friends.C. One will have little cooperation with others.D. One will learn more knowledge than in public or private school.19.What is the main idea of the passage?A. America’s home schooling.B. The advantage of home schooling.C. The disadvantages of home schooling.D. Differences between school education and home education.20.What is the author’s attitude to home schooling?A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. indifferentF二．七选五How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leaves us without a friend 21 . But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.1.Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.2.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 22 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.3. 23Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.4. Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as these would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 24 . The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.5. Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 25 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.A. Be cheerful.B. Do things together.C. Do not wait to be spoken to.D. Try not to find fault with your friends.E. Making new friends comes easy for some people.F. For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.G. So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）No one is born a winner.

A篇Vincent Van Gogh, for whom color was the most important form of expression, was born in Holland in 1853.Brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Van Gogh was highly emotional and lacked self­confidence.Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, Van Gogh had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore and an art salesman.He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty.One of his famous paintings is The Potato Eaters(1885)．In 1886, he went to Paris to join his brotherThéo.In Paris, Van Gogh studied with Cormon, later metPissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and began to lighten hisvery dark palette(调色板)．His nervous temperamentmade him a difficult companion and night­longdiscussions combined with painting all day underminedhis health.He decided to go south to Arles where hehoped his friends would join him and help found a schoolof art.Gauguin did join him but with bad results. Nearthe end of 1888, an incident led Gauguin to finally leave Arles.Van Gogh ran after him with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but ended up cutting a part of his own ear off.Van Gogh then was sent to a mental (精神的) hospital for treatment.In May of 1890, he se emed much better and went to live in Auvers­sur­Oise under the watchful eye of Dr Cachet.Two months later he was dead, having shot himself “for the good of all”．During his brief career he had sold one painting.Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years.His great fusion (融合) of form and content is powerful, dramatic and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence (精华) of man and nature.1．Before Van Gogh started to learn art, ________.A．he couldn't do his work well B．he was confident about himselfC．he did a good job in a bookstore D．he was one of the successful artists 2．The underlined word “undermined” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．A．harmed B．improved C．challenged D．punished3．Gauguin finally decided to leave Van Gogh probably because ________.A．Van Gogh didn't like Gauguin at allB．something was wrong with Van GoghC．Gauguin cut off one of Van Gogh's earsD．Gauguin hated to be a teacher at the school4．What can we learn from Van Gogh's works?A．His pride and kindness. B．His cruelty and failure.C．His honesty and strength. D．His struggle and viewpoints.B篇Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more.

But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged （蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings （版画） by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,＂Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.＂While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.7. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?A. The cat would be closely watched.B. The cat would get some medical care.C.

It was then that the dad of two realized his young daughter had a heart that was too big for words.“I run a c harity called Extra Life where I play video games to help raise money for kids，” he said. “Ariana happened to be sitting next to me when a video was playing, showing a little girl who was bald, lying in a hospital bed with tubes in her.” When their daughter got curious, Smith and his wife Crystal explained how medicine was what made the child in the video lose her hair.“Without a seco nd tho ught, Ariana said, ‘She can have some of my hair,” Smith said. “That's when my wife told me that there are many organizations that we could donate it to.” The Smiths chose “Locks of Love” to send Ariana's generous gift to a child with medical hair loss.A week later, Ariana was taken to the family hairdresser where 10 inches was cut from her hair.“It was her first haircut，” Smith told ABC News. “She can be so selfless like that. Her first reaction is ‘How about me giving up something that I have, so a little girl can feel pretty？’” Smith posted his daughter's moving gesture on his personal webpage, where it has received almost 645,000 views in just two days.“She'll ta ke an adult­lik e approach and it's really amazing，” Smith said. “She is just a little kid, but if she sees somebody in need, she certainly cares for them. This made Ariana feel special and she'd definitely like to do it again.”10．Which of the following can best describe Josh Smith?A．Far­sighted. B．Easy­going.C．Kind­hearted.

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start­up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start­up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not somethingin our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay­writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can —then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》) , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correctat every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was nowas exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feelingtired.13．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start­up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.14．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution15．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsF篇根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
