years resolutions years ago.great promises for complete changes set me up for failure one too many times.this year，why not take a more measured approach to a happier，healthier you? from your office to your bedroom to your car，these small changes can have a big impact on your life.wake up ten minutes earlier.when you start your morning in a crazy spirit，you set a stressful tone for the day.even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel more calm，collected，and ready to face the day.spend five minutes in silence or meditation(沉思)youll soon realize，whether its in the morning or evening，that five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed feels a lot longer than five minutes.but just this short rest can develop a tranquility(宁静) that carries through the day.when things go off the rails，simply close your eyes and recall that earlier tranquility._ life is never long enough to say this as many times as it should be said.whether your mother，a friend，a significant other，or your dog，make it a habit to tell someone at least once a day that you love him or her.while it may feel strange at first，you will never regret it.turn out the lights.taking just two minutes to switch off your lights and electronics when youre going to be away from home can save you hundreds of dollars a year on your electricity bill.plus，its earth friendly.everybody wins.stand (or sit) up straight.good posture prevents back and neck pain and projectsand even boostsconfidence.one trick when driving: tilt your rearview mirror up a bit.youll have to sit up to see.at your desk，the top of your computer screen should be at eye level.put a small cushion in the curve of your lower back，and your spine will fall into alignment(直线) 21the best title of the passage is _aseveral small changes with a big impactbhow to make a good impression on otherscthe best way to realize your ambitionsdhow to live a happy and healthy life22which of the following can fill in the blank of the passage?aform a habit of being patient.btell someone you love them.cpraise someone as much as possible.dsign up for an automatic savings account.23why should you keep good postures according to the text?ato be handsome and draw much attention from others.bto feel good and make good impressions on others.cto prevent back and neck pain and improve your confidence.dto get rid of stress and feel more ready to face the day.bthe iphone 6s may get force touch，but huaweis phone can weigh an orange.or an apple.one of the most anticipated new features of the next iphone is “force touch”，the ability to press down hard on your screen to unlock new menu optionsbut chinese smartphone giant huawei did one better on this week：it unveiled a new phone that can weigh objects directly on the screen.at the international radio exhibition in berlin，known as ifa，huawei demonstrated how its new mate s smartphone could weigh an orange.its not clear how accurate the scale is.the mate s said the orange weighed 280 grams，or 10 ounces，which is a superheavy piece of fruit.huawei also didnt say what the phones weight limits are.(you probably cant step on it every morning in your bathroom.) also，the utility isnt immediately obvious.how often do you need to weigh small objects on the go?but the technology is cool and intriguing nonetheless.force touch is a clever way at maximizing real estate on a small screen，such as a smartphone or smartwatch.it allows app makers to hide menu options in the background，only displaying them when someone pushes down hard enough on the screen.for instance，the mate s allows people to zoom in on their screens，preview photos or make special moves in games using force touch.apple debuted force touch on the apple watch earlier this year，giving apps the ability to display fullscreen images without wasting precious space with gear or “hamburger” icons for settings.apple (aapl，tech30) hasnt commented on what force touch might be used for on the new iphone 6s (or whatever it will be called)its unlikely that tim cook will weigh an apple on stage using an iphone 6s，but you never know.【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了苹果新一季产品iphone最令人期待的特征是压力感应触控，华为公司也不甘示弱，展示了一款可以在屏幕上称重的新品。 24whats the main idea for this passage?aapple and huawei compete in market and they both have new features for their new products which bear the hope of buyers.bapple was beaten by an orange and huawei took its place as the largest supplier of electronic products.capple fails to apply force touch in its new products.dhuaweis new feature is not as appealing as apples.25what does the underlined word “anticipated” mean in the second paragraph?ahated. bexpectant.cannoying. dwaited.26according to the passage the special feature of the next apple products is _aforce touchbweighing an orangecweighing an appledzooming in on their screens27whats the authors attitude towards weighing an subject on iphone in the future?aanticipated. bindifferent.cdisgusted. dcrazy.cthe new caledonia barrier reef (新喀里多尼亚堡礁)is located in new caledonia in the south pacific，and is the secondlongest coral reef in the world，after australias great barrier reef.the new caledonia barrier reef surrounds grand terre，new caledonias largest island，as well as the ile des pins and several smaller islands，reaching a length of 1，500 km.the reef encloses(围住) in a lake of 24，000 square kilometers，which has an average depth of 25 meters.the reefs lie up to 30 kilometers from the shore，but extend almost 200 km to the entrecasteaux reefs in the northwest.this northwestern extension encloses the belep islands.several natural passages open out to the ocean.the boulari passage，which leads to noumea，the capital and chief port of new caledonia，is marked by the amedee lighthouse.the reef has great species diversity with a high level of endemism(动植物的特有分布)，and is home to endangered dugongs，a kind of sea animal，and is an important nesting site for green sea turtle.most of the reefs are generally thought to be in good health.some of the eastern reefs have been damaged by wastewater from nickel mining(镍开采)on grand terre.the waste from mining，agriculture，and grazing(放牧) has affected reefs near river mouths，which has been worsened by the destruction of mangrove forests，which help to keep wastes.some reefs have been buried under several meters of wastes.in january 2002，the french government proposed(提议) listing new caledonias reefs as a unesco world heritage site.unesco listed new caledonia barrier reef on the world heritage list on 7 july 2008.【语篇解读】南太平洋的新喀里多尼亚岛附近的新喀里多尼亚堡礁是仅次于澳大利亚大堡礁的世界第二大珊瑚礁。 28some of the new caledonias reefs have been damaged mainly because of _ahumans activitiesbnatural disasterscthe earths movementdits own development29which of the following statements is true according to the passage?anew caledonia only has an island named grand terre.bthe new caledonia barrier reef is 25 meters under the sea surface.cnoumea is the capital and chief port of grand terre.daustralias great barrier reef is the largest coral reef in the world. 30the new caledonia barrier reef entered the world heritage list because _ait is special in species diversitybit will disappear in the near futurecit is covered with thick forestdit is rich in nickel 31we know from the passage that _adugongs are well protected in the new caledonia barrier reefbthe boulari passage is famous for the amedee lighthousecgreen sea turtle is in danger because of the pollutiondhuman beings take no measures to protect the new caledonia barrier reefdmichael and i did not know when the waiter put the plates on our table.at the time we were sitting in a small restaurant，hidden from the busy third street，in new york city.even the smell of fresh serving blintze did not interfered our conversation.in fact，we let the blintze soaked in the sour cream.we just enjoy the conversation too much that we forgot to eat.our conversation was so delightful though we did not speak about important things.we laughed and spoke about the film which we have just watched.while our fun conversation continued，my eyes went across the room and stop on the corner.a couple of old folks sat in there.the woman wearing the flower dress with faded color，the same with the pillow where she laid her pallid handbag.the mans top head shined just like the boiled egg which he ate very slowly.the woman chewed her oatmeal(燕麦片) very slowly too，seemed with very much effort.but what made my mind thought about them was the silence around them.michael and i paid our food and went on.when we passed the corner where the couple sat，my wallet fell.when i stopped to get it，i saw，under the table，they were tenderly holding each others hand.they were eating in silence while holding each others hand! i was very touched to see the simple yet the very meaningful action reflecting the close relationship of the couple.their silence was the pleasant and relaxing one，it was the expression of the tender love and it did not always need the words to express it.they might spend the hours holding each others hand like this in the morning.when i and michael went out of the restaurant，i thought，maybe it was nothing bad at all if some day we have something like that.maybe，it will become the expression of the tender and complete love. 32from the first paragraph we may know the fact that the author and michael _asaw a film just nowbwere talking about something importantctalked about a film about the coupledlaughed when they were eating33what did the author see on the corner of the restaurant?aa boiled egg.ba wallet.ctwo people.ddelicious food.34we can infer from the passage that _athe author paid little attention to the couplebthe couple kept talking while eatingcthe author paid for the couples fooddthe author was moved by the couples action35why did the author think the silence around the old couple pleasant and relaxing?abecause they had nothing important to talk about.bbecause the silence expressed the tender love between them.cbecause they spent hours keeping in silence every morning.dbecause they were eating very slowly.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。thank your
