Maybe most people say that life is difficult. But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon (强加于) them or their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process (过程) of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.24. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _. A. show his opinion B. argue with readers C. give an example D. get readers attention25. According to the passage we give school children difficult problems in order to _. A. encourage them to solve problems B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems C. help them learn to deal with pain D. teach them how to respect problems26. The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt instruct.” suggests that _.A. we do not learn from experience B. we do not learn when we are in pain C. pain teaches us important lessons D. the pain of problems is not welcome27. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life B. life is difficult because our problems bring us painC. people like to complain about their problemsD. everybody has problemsCMore than one-third of adults in the United States are obese(肥胖). In fact, over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized, sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools.Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight, and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight.Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise. Not carrying out the first one enough, and not getting enough of the second one, ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight.Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible, but its also, partially, an oversimplification. Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat. Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet. If you dont want to eliminate red meat altogether, choose cuts of meat with less fat content. Limit your intake of salt and starches. If youve got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch, choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips. You might find youre really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste.A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, egg whites, fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight. Drink more water and less sugary drinks. If you have to have a soda, a diet soda is a better option, but seltzer is an even better choice than that.Its importantif not always easyto make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day. If your feet wont allow for a regular jogging regimen, then make sure you take lots of walks. Next time you need to mail a letter, walk to the mailbox instead of driving. Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood.28 You should when you want to lose weight. A. diet as well as exercise enough B. try not to fit the clinic definition of obesity C. get little exercise every day D. focus your attention on diet only29The First Lady has started a movement to .A. raise peoples awareness of healthy dietB. control the public school dietary supplyingC. ban the sugary soft drinks D. realize the importance of dieting30What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. We must keep far away from fat and ignore our taste.B. The simplest and best way to lose weight is to eat and exercise more.C. We should remove the red meat in our diet completely to reduce weight.D. When it comes to diet, no one needs to starve themselves in order to lose weight.31The last paragraph is mainly about .A. walkB. DietC. exerciseD. Jog DIf you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles（肌肉）.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London,(UCL) took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings had the same result in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.32 What does the underlined part “grey matter” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?AGrey hair.BMaterial of the brain.CIntelligence.DDifficult situations.33The experience of learning a second language can _.Achange ones brain completelyBimprove ones maths skillsCmake one smarter than othersDincrease the ability to learn34We can learn from the passage that _.Athe researchers from UCL did another study in ItalyBa similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a second languageCthe research done on the Italians showed a totally different resultDit will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language35Whats the main idea of the passage?ALearning a second language can help improve your brain power.BYou should learn a second language that is not your native language.CIf you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.DThe research done by the researchers from UCL is very successful第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Maybe you are an average student.
