a. obeying is the best quality. b. giving is always a pleasure. c. appreciating others will benefit a lot. d. dealing with relationship is important. 30. the underlined word “puppet” has the similar meaning to. a. instrument b. assistant c. wretch d. winner31. which is the right order according to the passage? a. he was removed from his position. b. he got on poorly with the coworkers. c. he carried out the orders of the owner. d. he became a branch manager. f. he was believed in not only by coworkers but leaders. a. a, b, d, c, f b. f, d, c, b, ac. d, f, c, b, a d. d, c, f, b, a32. from the third paragraph we can infer that . a. the new manager carried out the programs at onceb. the new manager got on badly with workersc. workers need to be recognized and supportedd. you should make full use of your powerdbabies are born yogis. once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. in short, we lost our balance. yoga (瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. it brings us balance. i was seriously out of balance when i started practicing yoga in 1999. i had plantar fascitis (足底筋膜炎) in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things i loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. i was desperate for exercise. yoga became my salvation (拯救) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. i practice yoga at least twice a week, but i consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yogayou love it. yoga becomes part of your physical life. your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. i spent a week in mexico at a yoga retreat (静修), and it was the first vacation on which i lost weight. “rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says shakta kaur khalsa, author of the k. i. s. s. guide to yoga. “because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” i do yoga poses throughout the day. after hours at my computer, i stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. when i need a boost of energy, i do energizing poses. when i am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, i do restorative poses. yoga becomes part of your mental life. yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. this attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. i use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentists chair, and in traffic jams. you should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. if you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. in yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension. yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. as i work on a difficult pose, i learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. yoga advocates proper eating, but you dont have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga. 33. according to the third paragraph, yoga can help people. a. grow taller b. lose weight c. become flexible in thinking d. make more friends34. what would be the best title for this passage? a. whats yoga? b. how i do yoga poses c. the benefits of yoga d. the varieties of yoga35. if this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the nextparagraph? a. yoga as a means to keep fit. b. different yoga poses. c. popularity of yoga all over the world.d. encouraging people to do yoga. 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。maybe you are an average student. you probably think you will never be a top student. this is not necessarily so, however. anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. heres how:36when planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. after making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. first your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. 37a weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.find a good place to study. look around the house for a good study area. keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. no games, radios, or television. when you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. make good use of your time in class. 38listening carefully in class means less work later. taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.study regularly. when you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39 if you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and youll remember it longer.develop a good attitude towards tests. the purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. they help you remember your new knowledge. the world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont be over-worried. 40you will probably discover them after you have tried these.a. this will help you understand the next class. b. take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.c. dont forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. d. there are other methods that might help you with your studying. e. plan your time carefully. f. make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class. g. no one can become a top student unless he or she works hard. 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。there is an old proverb “the writer creates half the text; the reader creates the other half”. the statement is quite apt and very clear to clarify the fact that41is very important aspect of education. conversation, experience, reading and observation are the ways by which an individual 42 . and so it is clear that process of learning is43 without reading.a very suitable example fitting in this context is from our evolution. we have44 different ages, from stone age to iron age and from iron to space age, just by reading the hand45articles of our own ancestors and learning46their mistakes.when we47the pages of dictionary or search for a literal definition of “reading”, we will find that it actually is a way of words attainment for active communication, and for48ideas and information. it is also a49of complicated interaction between the transcript and the50. the reading process obliges constant practices, progress, and improvement.reading and education is not just going through the text;it is actually a skill, talent or an expertise. it is measured by51parameters like phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. although there are
