Here are some findings and expert advice.1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding：A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step：Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2.How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30%wash their hands only 4 times a day-half of the number doctors recommend.Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海绵)that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.21.What is found out American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30%of them bathe three days a week .C. All of then are fighting germs better than expected .D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day22. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A. twice a day B. three times a day C. four times a day D. eight times a day 23.Which of the following is true according to the text ?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth .C. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet .D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle .24. The text probably comes from .A. a guide book B. a popular magazine C. a book review D .an official documentBNever go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third, compare prices, that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial(商业广告), or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.25All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except _.A. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands.B. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items .C. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands.D. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”.26What does the writer think about ads?A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.C. They are helpful. D. They are harmful.27One of the authors suggestions to consumers is _.A. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands .B. to make use of advertisements carefully for shopping.C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch .D. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”.28The author implies that _.A. advertisements sometimes dont tell the truth to the consumers.B. discount clothing stores are only good places to go to for shopping.C. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy less than you plan to.D. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low.CEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree；they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our townsIn fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.29. The writer of the passage thinks that _.A. education can settle most of the worlds problemsB. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldC. free education wont help to solve problemsD. all the social problems cant be solved by education30. The writer wants to prove that _.A. our society needs all kinds of jobs B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor D. work with hands is the most important31. The purpose of education is _.A. to choose officials for the country B. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to build a perfect world32. The passage tells us about _ of the education.A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the typeDFor decades, the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technologyindustry. Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area calledSilicon Valley. But the area has not always been associated with charity(慈善).Now, a new generation of entrepreneurs(企业家)appears to be changing Silicon Valley. One example is Marc Benioff, a donor(捐赠者), who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities. He also is the founder of Salesforce. com, a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a childrens hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity. Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America. His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications. He says, traditionally, donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth. Usually donors are in their 70s. But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age. Benjamin Soskis says that is something new. “Theres a whole new model thats appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.”Some of the young donors on this years top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity. That is especially the case in the San Francisco area, where giving money and making money appear to be coming together. “I think its fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity.”33. What is TRUE of Marc Benioff?A. He joined a non-profit organization. B. He advised donors to build hospitals.C. He made San Francisco a city of charity. D. He set up the company of Salesforce. com.34. What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley?A. They prefer to give rather than make money. B. They give after accumulating a lot of wealth.C. They are much younger than the usual donors. D. They donate more money to their communities.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The age of charity B. The changing face of charityC. In search of new faces D. From computer base to charity centre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。A strong memory depends on the health and vitality(活力) of your brain. They say that you cant teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isnt true. 36Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. 37 , the better youll be able to process and remember information. You have to shake things up from time to time!Dont skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesnt mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brains worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.Have a laugh. 39 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain._40_ Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, its not just what you eatits also what you dont eat.A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.B. Play games with memory.C. Laughter is the best medicine.D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!F. The more you work out your brain G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It happened several years ago when l was driving to my daughters college to bring herhome for the summer break.
