During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effort than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce other meals.25The title of the passage should be _.A the importance of breakfastB the result of a testC breakfast will make you cleverD breakfast is more important than other meals26Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A Poor breakfast affects those who work with brains.B Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight-losing.D Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.27During the test, those who were tested were given _.A no breakfast at all B very rich breakfastC little food for breakfast D different foods or none.28The passage mentions that many people believe that if you dont eat breakfast, you will _.A lose weight B not lose weightC be healthier D gain a lot of weightCSarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.“Isnt it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasnt that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly（起皱的）for him, and he probably doesnt think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary; or at best, store the ones thrown away as mementoes（念想）of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit.29At the first sight of the snake skin, the author was .A scared B puzzled C uninterested D excited30Sarah learned from her father that renewal is .A to recover the layers inside B to review what has been doneC a natural part of getting mature D the process of finding the unwanted31It can be inferred from the passage that the author _.A dislikes the snake skin at allB shows concern for nature and cultureC can grasp the chance to educate childrenD often encourages his daughter to raise questions32The author mainly tells the reader that _.A snakes cast off the layers to look smarterB we should renew ourselves to get improvedC snakes shed their skins to renew themselvesD we should explore our original nature underneathDIn recent years, yoga(瑜珈) has become popular with people for its health. Because of the focus on the physical sides of yoga, like postures and breathing, few people realize that they are taking part in an ancient practice, developing from Indian religion.Yoga originated in India in the sixth century B C, when people were trying to answer questions about the nature of the self and the soul. It started as a practice only done by ascetics (僧人). So it was not something that the ordinary people did.Yoga is not only a physical practice but also a mental practice, designed to reduce the focus on the external (外部), said Whitney Sanford, professor of religious studies. Most people pay much attention to daily existence and as a result, they lead busy lives, while yoga provides people with a technique to cut off their devotion to the external.Samantha Tam said that practicing yoga improved her flexibility and treated her injuries. “Every time after practicing yoga, I always felt really relaxed and was in a good mood,” she said.Yoga was probably introduced on a popular level in America in the 1960s and 1970s,when Western people began to show curiosity about other religions. Now most people pursue yoga to relieve stress, and fair numbers of people are simply curious.33According to the passage, yoga was originally performed for.A its health B relaxed and healthy lifeC religious reasons D the need of the soul34Yoga is the following EXCEPT.A a physical practice B a mental practiceC a way of paying attention to the external Da way of reduing the focus on the external35Today, people do yoga for many reasons EXCEPT.A to get rid of stress B to treat injuriesC to satisfy their curiosity D to become a hindu(印度人)第二节（共5小题，每小题2分,满分10分）While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. 36 37 When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activityRunning, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might tryTake care of yourself38 If you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situationsIf stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctorMake time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainmentDont forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work 39Go window-shopping or work on a hobbyAllow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy 40Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “theres so much to do, and not enough time”Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anythingInstead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completedSet out to do the most important task firstADo whatever you like and want to doBYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough restCMake a list of things to doDTry physical activityEYou need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have funFYou could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every dayGThe following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress第三部分：语言知识运用(共两节,满分分)第一节（共20小题，每小题材1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案One year after Tom was born, his parents had a car accident.
