theres a short answer and a long answer to that question. the short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. practising, breathing exercises and thinking make you healthier in body, mind and spirit. for many people, thats enough of an answer, but theres more if you are interested. yoga began in india about 5,000 years ago. at that time, people wanted to be free, healthy and live a long life, so this kind of exercise was born. the early yoga was part of a religion (宗教). it was usually taught one to oneone teacher with one student. yoga is an indian word that means “to join together”. there are three parts of yoga altogether: exercise, breathing and meditation (沉思). in the past, people paid more attention to the spirit. the idea behind the exercise was to join the mind, body and spirit as one. yoga can give you peace, help you feel relaxed, and have fewer worries and illnesses. 46. what is yoga?

a. because it brings happiness and relax.b. because it helps you work more quickly. c. because it is part of the real religion.d. because it is good for your health. b in order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. first, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. secondly, we ourselves must be able to speak it correctly and confidently without hesitation(犹豫). thirdly, we must be able to write it. we must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar. there is no short cut to succeed in language learning. a good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. it is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. we must learn by using the language. if we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. we must learn through use. practice is important. we must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.49. the most important things to learn a foreign language are_.a. understanding and speaking b. hearing, speaking, reading and writingc. writing and understanding d. memorizing and listening50. someone hears and writes english very well, but he speaks it very badly. this is because_.a. he doesnt understand the language when he hears it spokenb. he doesnt have a good memoryc. he always remember lists of words and their meaningsd. he often hesitates to practice speaking it51. which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?a. a good memory. b. speaking c. practice d. writing.52.learn through use means_.a. we use a language in order to learn it b. we learn a foreign language in order to use itc. we can learn a language well while we are using it d. both b and c cwhen you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own worldeach element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with othersyou cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success.success is very much achievable to everybodybelieve that and you have taken the first stepif you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first taskhowever, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to successthere are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate controlonce you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activitieswhat is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievementsappreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeedsome of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacksat the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important roleall these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developedbut it is up to you to get things startedthose who do not start travel nowherefor others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment53according to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?adont compare with others bbring everything under control cfind out what you have in mind dfeel confident about your ability54why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage? ait will allow you to recover from past failures bit will remind you of the vision of your future cit will motivate you to continue pursuing success dit will help you develop your characteristics in everything55the underlined word “setbacks” in paragraph 5 probably means _a failures b troubles c hesitation d depression56what can we learn from the last paragraph? aif you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far bif you dont start trying, youll never embrace success cif you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want dif you dont study, you can never reach the destinationd in china, most teenagers only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. in the us, however, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. at 16, american teens take their driving test. when they have their license(驾照), they drive into the grown-up world. “nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school，” said eleanor fulham, 17. she brought the pressure back to memory，especially from kids from wealthy families. “its like youre not cool if you dont have a car,” she said. according to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the usa own cars, up from 23% in 1985. although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay. not all families can afford cars for their children. in cities with subways and limited parking space, some teenagers dont want them. but in rich suburban areas without subways，and where bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car. but police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. this has made many parents stop letting their kids drive early. they need to wait until they are more experienced. julie susiana, of virginia, decided that her son chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his drivers license. chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “they say that i am unlucky,” he said. “but id rather be alive than driving, and i dont really trust my friends on the road either.” 57. by giving mainly, the writer describes how teenagers in the usa step into their adult life. a. definitions b. comparisons c. examples d.data58. 16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _. a. they want to show themselves off b. they are not experienced drivers c. people always drive better d. they never drive carefully on the road59. which may not be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car? a. how wealthy the family is. b. whether the kid is old enough. c. what traffic condition there is. d. whether its practically needed.60. when chad said “i dont really trust my friends on the road either. ”，he meant that _. a. he might run into his friends if he drove b. he didnt agree with his friends c. he wouldnt offer his friends a ride d. his driving friends might be dangerous to him if they drove第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。although many chinese students say that their knowledge of english grammar is good, most would say that their spoken english is poor. whenever i speak to a chinese student, they always say, “my spoken english is poor.” 61 i would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken english.first, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 62 however, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. 63 sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy. your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. however, in speaking your aim is fluency. you want to get your message across, to talk to someone in english, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter. 64 the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.fourth, most chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken english they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their english always remains poor. 65 a. the person you are speaking to will understand you and will consider the mistakes he hears.b. they may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.c. obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.d. if you are proactive language learners, you will see english opportunities wherever you go.e. however, their spoken english does not have to remain “poor”! f. second, they are afraid of making mistakes.第三部分写作（共三节，满分55分）第一节单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。66. the old man has (捐献)all his money to the earthquake-struck area.67. both li bai and du fu were two greatest poets in the tang (朝代).68. every language, such as chinese and english, is (独一无二的) to its continent.69. taken (几十年) ago by the earliest space missions, the images of titan and phoebe look strangely like photos of the earth and our own moon.70. when he finished his asparagus, he (随意地) threw the tough part over his shoulder onto the floor.71. which club in your school would (吸引) students who enjoy music?72. none of the students was allowed to wear trousers with (拉锁).73. i left school eleven years later with a certificate and a (奖学金) to study at oxford university.74. even though its in the middle of july, we advise that you take warm and (不透水的) clothing with you.75. the old woman was wearing traditional garments, with short sleeves, a colorful necklace and other (珠宝首饰).第二节 短文改错（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线（ ），并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处，多者（从
