Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue (胶水) to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.Unfixed sandpaintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary(临时的). Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty. Nowadays, sandpainting bees a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story. Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand”. Simonova said that she never dreamed shed bee a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.

A. set off B. gave out C. ended up D. held on CYou either have it, or you dont- a sense of direction, that is. But why is that some people would find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont have it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of this project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also said that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Pay attention to landmarks on the route(路线) as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help you find out where you are.29. What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A. They never have a sense of direction without a map.B. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.C. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack(缺乏) a sense of direction.D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.30. Scientists believe that.A. everybody has a sense of direction from birth B. some babies are born with a sense of directionC. people never lose their sense of directionD. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older31. According to the last paragraph, the best way to find your direction is to .A. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsB. ask policemen for directionsC. use walls, streams, and streets to guide you D. count the number of landmarks that you seeDA new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls bee more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all. The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents. Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family. Parents should watch for signs of depressioneating or mood changesand if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to bee weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity(成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.32. Whats the main idea of the passage? A.Parents should forbid their childrens love. B. Puppy love may bring young people depression. C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults. D. Romance is good for young people.33. Which of the following is more likely to have depression? A. Young people who have a strong sense of self. B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior. C. Careless parents whose children are deep in love. D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly. B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents. C. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance. D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.35. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love? A.Disapproving B. Confused C. Disinterested D. Scared 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。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion(情感), unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.36 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 37 .Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry. If it is, they say, “39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 40_AAnger may cause you a cancer.BDoctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.CThey said that laughter is much healthier than anger.DAnger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to timeEDo not express your anger while angry.FIn general, the person feels excited and ready to act.GExpressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第1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。Joe Biggs was a butcher.
